Mariah Carey in 2014 Sounding like Music Box Era - Vocal Showcase!

The Emotions Intro on December 22nd, 2014 at the Beacon Theater and Music Box Tour in LA sounds surprisingly similar! #mariahcarey #emotions #vocalshowcase

Sorry the E5 from '93 is actually an Eb5, I think the audio is pitched up.

yeah that’s what i thought 😭

[@outsideskippy1997]

For me Beacon 2014 is like the definitive proof that Mariah doesn’t really warm up her voice enough for every other show. But the Rockefeller disaster bothered her so much that she really put in effort to warm up. Her tessitura was raised, and we can tell she had trouble going lower, but incredible ease and breath support on mid belts and upper belts. 2014 already had a very pleasant tone, so perhaps if she warmed up in a different year in the 2010s it wouldn’t sound so prime like. I cautiously want to say that she warmed up moderately for Beacon 2015, but obviously not enough to lessen her ease in the lower register.

[@TheEmancipationOfMC]

I’m hesitant to talk about whether she warms up or not bc at the end of the day we have no idea what her preshow routine is/was. I also definitely think that she got a lot of vocal rest after the Rockefeller performance in order to prepare for the beacon shows. When it comes to Beacon 2015 I would almost say that after watching a lot of the footage I think she was arguably equal or better in some ways to 2014. I think 2014 definitely has the edge with tone, but 2015s upper belts were just so full of ease and she had so much agility in her runs. I think beacon 2015 is really slept on as a whole!

@@TheEmancipationOfMC I agree!

​@TheEmancipationofMC Finally someone said it, if I'm being honest 2014, 2015, and also 2016 actually have a lot of ease and access to upper belts which is so full and rounded. Beacon 2015 is actually one of the best set of Christmas shows I've seen. Those are the times that I've seen her pretty much really consistent with her vocals.

ik that not warming up / morning voice helps with lows but i didn’t know the contrary was true 💀💀 maybe for sopranos lol

When I see things like this, I believe that music box vibrato never went away and is still there.

[@outsideskippy1997]

Wait was the music box 2 semitones lower?

[@TheEmancipationOfMC]

Music box performance was 2 semitones higher. I used the LA date of the music box tour bc it’s one of my favorite intros she’s done!

[@TheRealVocquals]

It was one semitone lower from L.A. 1993, which was from Bb key to A key in 2014.
