Mariah Carey and Orfeh riff up the scale!

Listen to the flexible riffing or both ladies...and Orfeh's other amazing vocal styling!

[@ramirosalazar2880]

Belt! High soprano! Vocal Damage!!!! High-larious!!!!!

[@theblueangel28]

Mariah has the craziest ability with that stuff. i say it all the time, forget Whitney Patti Chaka. when it comes to flexibility and creative riffs, its all about Mariah Orfeh is fabulous. never heard of her. damn. and can i say how much i love that you just drop Kiri in there

[@hairspray1979]

THANK YOU FOR THIS...This has been an osession with my bestfriend and I about Mariahs UP riffs.. 20 years and someone finanly appreciates that amazing ability..

[@calikent]

Seth I f'ing love your enthusiasm I totally feel you man. It's great there are people like you who obsess about and appreciate music and singers to this degree. This is great stuff.

[@flipd.wallenberg6000]

As a straight man I've never loved another man as much as I love you! I can't sing well at all but without this video I wouldn't have known what it meant to actually sing so thank you.

[@theblueangel28]

@gaylolful yeah totally, and so are lots of people, with the vocal agility, beyonce, dolly parton, christina, and loads of others i guess what i was commenting on was Mariah's creativity. she makes musical lines with her melisma. her peers are Aretha and Ella. the other showboat in a much more stop and start kind of way, not creating a crafted vocal. but i wasnt like knocking Whitney's instrument, no doubt

[@uberdork987]

Only Orfeh could be that fabulous!

[@Iamaminabuddafly]

oh wow i love it ! this is exactly how i listen to singers..omg and i kept rewinding that exact same mariah part last xmas! so ironic..funny!! great videos!! ;)

[@theminutepast]

After watching your deconstruction, I happened to watch Becky Gulsvig perform Legally Blonde Remix (youtube) and she riffs up the scale on style in "I'm going back in my style." I loved it, and I don't think I would have noticed otherwise. PS - I go to Oberlin. You need to come back and do another workshop for us.

[@jdd228]

Seth you are a-mah-zing for sure. I have watched your Deconstructing Babs video too many times to count. I remember my first belting experience (of course I didn't know there was a name for it)! It was Ellen Greene singing "Suddenly Seymour" in "Little Shop". I was so young and amazed by the sound of her voice. I would love to hear your take on the Emily and Alice. Especially from their concert performance at Town Hall. Alice belts the hell out of a few songs on that disc.

KIRI! I flipped out when he said that, because she is my favorite singer everrrrr! I couldn't really understand what he was saying though, for a second I thought he was insulting her, but I don't think that's the case
