Mariah Carey - Lead The Way (Vocal Showcase) | REACTION

[@PaNdeM0niuM]

LEAD THE WAY is technically one of the most difficult songs vocally in music history!

[@jaopaixao5640]

I really appreciate this song. Many try to get close to Mariah's technique, but the only one who gets there is Gabriel Henrique. If interested, check out his version of this song.

This is Mariah summed up in one song. Her best head-voice, sustained belts, and of course that EPIC a cappella melisma/run at the end.

[@ethanjohnson18]

This era was SUCH a crazy era for her vocals. So there are like 8 octaves on a piano so the numbers next to the letters are the octave they’re in and C4 is the middle note. This era is crazy cuz there was so much ease in her upper belts which are usually E5 and above. And those runs?! Crazy. You should check out Yours by her. Also I heard Summertime by J. Calaveras is good

[@MrDLOC11]

This is Mount Peak Mariah, vocally & creatively @ her highest point - in a career full of highlights nobody has yet topped this , a forgotten tour-da-force masterpiece! Mariah stakes her claim as the only realistic heir to the queen of soul Aretha Franklin.

The run after the whistle where she says "and let it take ooooooveeer" has over 35 different notes. You should react to "There for me" it was a B-side song dedicated to her fans and this song has her longest recorded sustained belt, however she texturizes it and adds vibrato at certain points then takes it away and brings it back showing mastery. If you want her to do 55 notes with her whistle register in less than 8 seconds you need to check "The One live Shinning through the rain special" .

[@McWhCl]

If you want to know about those notes her it is C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, E#, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B This is all from lowest to highest C to B. The higher the number, the higher the note. In this song, Mariah hit F5 on her belt that's pretty high for a lot of people. When she hits G#6 it's a lot higher(whistle notes). Mariah has 5 octave range which means she can sing up to 7 octave until 2 octave lower range. Her vocal range is 5.something bcs her total range is F2-Bb7. Just in case if you want to know, if it's like 5 octave and not 5.x(eg: 5.3 and so on), the same note but different number(i don't know what to call it😂) eg: Bb2-Bb7 this is one full 5 octave. For mariah's case, she has go lower than Bb2 that makes her range is bigger than 5 octave but not pass 6 octave yet. If she hits Bb1 then it'll complete her range as 6 octave range(which is unneccassary for me). That's all😂 anyone can add things up and fix this for me bcs I know about all of these, but I don't know how to explain it. Hope this helps Jack✨ love ur reaction👍🏻

This song is incredible. Not many people know about it, either. On that riff alone, she hit over 20 notes in about 3 seconds (4:57).. just unheard of. Her voice is truly an instrument. Fun fact: She recorded this song in ONE TAKE. That is also very atypical for her. She normally records the track and then comes back in and does background vocals with the mixing. NO....this song that you hear is precisely a live version in the recording studio with no retouch. She said it in an interview back in 2001.. a LEGEND 💗🎶
