Mariah Carey gets her diva on, and does some improvised singing in Australia

[@seanbishop3795]

This is seriously the reason why she is the queen of vocalism. No one and I mean no one does THIS at their concert, it so many different variations of their voice. Miss Mariah knows what the hell she's doing, and this is just a reminder to all of you folks who say she can't sing. I love these videos because it's a reminder of how she shuts all of you up. Mariah is perfection.

I never understood how when she's just freestyling she sounds so good. But when she's performing her hits she struggles. I don't get it. She should just do like a intimate show like those jazz cafe lounge singers & get ppl to come see that.

[@milostopalovic9765]

The problem is her nodules. The balls in her cursed throat that detoriate her voice much faster then normal. Because of them her voice is non consistand, it depends on a day. People dont know this since she talked about them in 2 interviews during 30 years of her career...

[@didierrobert13004]

I think it has something to do with her being anxious all the time on the stage. When she's free styling she doesn't have a specific famous melody to follow. She just sings with ease.

Best comment ever and if she were smart or brave or aware enough, she could have hit them with that instead of looking lost on stage and letting them get down on her.

Her songs are way harder than her impromptus lol, so she doesn't try as hard and sounds more relaxed and smooth unlike her harder songs lol.

@@zalenahquaddy4354 the problem is the arrangement and the prerecorded vocals. Most of her songs are sung in the original key. Or a transposed key with fitting prerecorded whistles/climaxes. If she used only live music she could sing the same song in a different way every night.

[@christopherdavis5593]

She should work with Christian Scott and Esperanda Spalding to make an album of mostly Jazz ballads. It would change the game and likely be her next Emancipation of Mimi level album. I think it will remind people of the brilliance of her technique and draw a crowd that doesn't normally by her albums. Throw in some Butterfly album type vibe and easily get a couple more #1's. Plus jazz has a unique affect on an overly used range. It will strengthen her technique and smooth out the rough patches in her range. Overall, I think it would be most beneficial, seeing as pop and rnb lend to poor technique sometimes. If she did one such album, she would extend her high album sales career for another ten years because her voice would be platinum in the end. I don't know, I just think theres some new sounds in there that are worth exploring if she so desired.
