Voice teacher ANALYZES | Mariah Carey - If you only knew (reaction)

[@giladmiller4259]

Finally, someone is explaining how difficult it is to sing the style Mariah has created. People love to compare her to other singers. Some have gone so far as to place her in some kind of a vocal trinity . In reality she’s in a league of her own. That’s why I’m 30 years it’s very rare that you’ll find a singer covering Mariah, unlike the other two…. She’s simply the greatest to ever do it.

[@dandyguy7430]

Tht part! Mariah engineers her song so that only she could sing them 😭 sick for that

[@tylermills4812]

[@lourencovieira5424]

@@dandyguy7430 its crazy the fact that songs like emotions are already super hard as is, and then during live performances she can reinvent the song to make it even harder!!

No one is more aware of vocal timing than Mariah. That’s why her runs are so amazing. Queen of melisma.

[@georgedebs3566]

This is the thing... She not only has mastered vocal technique with everything in mind that you've mentioned and more... She also has a cosmic range... along with being a MUSICIAN not just a singer. She writes, produces, remixes, masters... she does it all, except playing the instruments by herself. This performance was a tribute to Patti labelle... She actually mimicked some of Patti's stylistic choices from memory while simultaneously infusing it with her own style... not because some producer/director conceptualized it and instructed her, but instead she came up with it herself!!! WHILE... WHILE ALSO... Making it look effortless, and super emotional too... If that doesn't scream MUSIC LEGEND, I don't know what does.

[@sovereigngodlisaloves9525]

Ooh. You LIKE her...🤗

[@joshd8342]

You forgot to add that Mariah is also polyphonic and one of the very few artists with a perfect pitch. With all the things she can do with her voice plus her unparalleled musicianship, she is undoubtedly the greatest vocalist that has ever walked this earth. No one can come close to her talent.

[@loudeillunzaga4476]

All i can say is MARIAH = GODTIER she wholly changed the song to her own signature. What do you expect from a woman who mastered remixing songs, songwriter and producer ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Fun fact about Mariah's whispery sound - the studio version of Vision of Love uses the backing vocals from her demo, recorded on cheap drum mic, because it picked up the airyness

I believed her nodules helped her to accessed those.. and practiced countless of times. I heard she was often cutting classes just to write songs and practicing a lot. That she even given a nickname "Mirage" in her class. She's only hundred percent present during literature. And in her 18, she's working as cashier during the day and recording/singing/making songs at night till dawn. She attended beauty school and one of her schoolmates said she was "hey do you want to hear my new song?". She was always singing and showing her newly made songs to her classmates and never finished the beauty school lol. also became backing vocals for a singer brenda. Brenda helped her. And later on she became an ultimate idol. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GARdotETH]

I like the Honest Vocal Coach but this guy gives you the FULL rundown of notes and how they are done. Love it! 😍

[@benw3864]

I love how she always closes her phrases/words off to preserve the full word. 90% of singers I've seen & even some really good ones don't fully close off the word after a run and leave it off on a vowel still

[@Smark71920]

Mariah is one of those singers that comes along once in a lifetime. Yes, she's superhuman, but what makes her so unique is that she has vocal nodules which have been her blessing and her curse. She has admitted this in interviews. These nodules and learning to sing with them and around them give her an extremely unique sound. They also have led to her vocal decline in recent years as well. She still is amazing though.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

Mariah is simply on another level than other artists. I like how you breakdown each note etc 🎶

[@fazzyvlogs3650]

Mariah is a Genius and Gifted

[@angfoo9785]

I love it that he mentioned wen we talk abt mariahs' range is the entire piano n even off the piano keys - which was mentioned in one of her review for mariah as well as both of my vocal teachers say the same too

[@tonhos2480]

Not the entire piano. She may be able to go higher than the piano, but her lowest note is a F#2, and a piano can go much lower than that

[@hermansiswanto581]

Woah! Thank you! Overall, She's the best vocalist ever in my book. Btw the title is If Only You Knew.

[@dandre1098]

I believe that hissing sound or breathy sound is due to Mariah’s vocal nodules. This is around the time where her vocal nodules are more apparent in her singing. I think that’s why that breathiness is so effortless because the folds can’t close, causing the breathy tone

[@instasingingvids3529]

I agree with this. It makes sense why breathy singing has always been easy for her

[@LesageSinging]

Her folds can close and we know this because there are moments where that hissing doesn't happen. However, as you said, using aspirate in the way she does here may be far easier due to nodules. I don't know what the answer is, but I imagine she does. I wish I could sit down with her and ask haha

[@Marcusrafaelfet]

@@LesageSinging I'm pretty sure Mariah actually said once in a few interviews that the nodules helps her breathy tone and whistling. And it makes sense since the nodules keeps the folds from touching properly, allowing more air to leak. It would be awesome if artists got interviewd to talk about their voices and technique.

[@soaribb32]

@UC5taIQfiw2llfxr2Lk1WdNg Ela falou disso numa entrevista de rádio em 99, eu acho.

[@hood_psychologist]

you all are incorrect. Mariah ends most of her notes with the H sound, which give her that hissing sound. Kelly Price, one of her former background singers, mentioned she learned this from MC.

[Edited comment after someone corrected the original comment for me] Mariah actually has a different song with the chorus lyrics " How I wish you only knew," and I got excited thinking maybe you found a live version of that other song.

@@milanpop16 Yes! You are right. Weird. My original comment is off. Idk why I was thinking that. I guess because she says, "How I wish YOU ONLY KNEW". I'll fix my comment.

[@MrDLOC11]

Actually this legendary vocal 'performance' was in fact a true, witty tribute to Miss Patti, as most of the vocal runs and inflections are directly copied off Patti's original. This of course is the ultimate compliment, as MC displays her amazing skills and virtuosity as a vocal mimic. If MC was an actress then this would be like Cicely Tyson doing Miss Jane Pittman!! Vocally, her performance in this tribute is that good.
