Mariah Carey - Legato VS Staccato - Same Note Comparision

Lemme know other notes you find fitting in this category and I'll include them in a part 2

[@leumamk5259]

Some staccatos here are actually legatos. The notes are connected.

[@Fr0zenPeanut]

Legato means the notes are smoothly connected and staccato means the notes are short and detached. Why are y'all watching this if you don't even know the basic terms?

[@smulemaster]

Hehehe exactly... some are not stacatto but definitely dodged to some other technique...

[@GarageStudio7]

3:56 Definitely one of her vocal suicide moments; she really went for it. It should be included in more videos.

[@craigmills3583]

I always think there’s a direct correlation between how good shape her voice is in with her use of legato or staccato. Personally I hate the staccato, particularly post 2000 as it always sounds like she’s having a bad vocal day. Legato is a beautiful singing technique that sounds professional and skilled.

[@wilbertwilliams2306]

Mariah Carey she is having some meny difference in her vocal tone of voice 👄 singing

[@Marcusrafaelfet]

Stacatto is very difficult to do well, what you don't like is not the stacatto itself but that she usually does that to skip sustained notes and also it usually comes with a raspy voice cause, as you said, she usually does that in bad vocal days, I'm sure those stacatto notes would sound outsanding if that wasn't the reason.

[@JCole-fg3rr]

@@Marcusrafaelfet there is nothing difficult about her staccato choices lol

[@alanramos9302]

@@JCole-fg3rr try to listen to her staccato from her song "Breakdown" . You would be amazed..

[@ryanallen8455]

Mariah Live 8 Make it Happen. The staccato on that just sends me every damn time 🤣 'And finally found mah Way-eh eh eh Uh uH eH eh yE ye Ye yuh YuH yeah make it happen'

Legato - Mariah's Prime Stacatto - Mariah Now

[@smulemaster]

Depends on her rest... she's still doing legato at her most recent eras...

[@alrightyalan3939]

I love staccato because it is like more dramatic and adds more emotion but legato is very fluid and we barely hear that nowadays so idk which one to choose but she does both flawlessly!

[@giulianacr2638]

The woman can staccato her way even in the whistle register! She's so good, rare rare rare

[@alrightyalan3939]

I like how you used examples from throughout her career and not just a couple eras in particular!

[@Lambs4lyf]

Legato because we barely hear that anymore

[@nickardomccrae1519]

For chest voice the legato sounds better but with the whistle note I love the staccato.

[@giulianacr2638]

right her control is amazing, it's hard to do but she staccato in whistle like a boss

[@MrLaumoperaasis]

True

[@musicboxerathankyoufor100s2]

I already love Staccato more because even though its messy at times it adds a bit more emotion to the song rather than just singing it perfectly and having barely any emotion

[@croissant2024]

Staccato is heavily used in soul music. It’s fine that some ppl don’t like it, but let’s not be uncultured, y’all…🤨 It’s still a stylistic choice.

[@mariahland]

7:42 that ease on the C5 😍❤️

[@bestvocalsbyvocalists849]

I like Legato a lot..not bc it's an amazing ornamental technique bc its like agility with so much musicality.

[@jake_thefox4675]

3:01 not the autotune 😭

[@joemelcruz6556]

Really nice comparison! Just wanna say there's so many staccato improvs that really sound great and fitting just as the legato ones.

[@alrightyalan3939]

She is the Queen of vocal technique!

[@debutriah2854]

Debatable

[@AchillesandArtemis]

0:27 was legato as well

[@McWhCl]

Her stacatto is really good, the fact she managed to match the song eventhough the song originally legato🔥🤩

[@narutohyuga1845]

5:35 WHATTTT THATS SO COOL

[@Fishriah_Ari]

2:36 putting me right after Mtv is just cruel TQOL😔

[@SeanMichael1992]

I love both. It takes skill to do either with that much ease and complexity the way she does

[@ryanallen8455]

I only just really noticed how in the butterfly world tour she was still singing everything in the daydream style, especially hero. She was still going for the G5 when she needed to revert back to the music box style and keep note as it was

[@danielandor7838]

The only time I prefer the staccato is with the whistles.

[@jiecas]

Legato works more on belts Staccato works more on whistle #mariah 🥰

[@pmalkan0829]

Some of these aren't necessarily staccato like at 4:16 she's just not singing the original melody but she's still connecting the notes.

[@giulianacr2638]

3:41 the era of Beeriah 🐝

[@batch9518]

i didn't know upcoming videos have trailers now lol. I thought i had special access hahahahhahahah first btw 😌

[@dinasilva9263]

I love both but when Mariah is a little bit more dramatic when she sings is my favorite😁😍

[@daydreamworldtour]

Omg I love Italian words in English LMAO

[@MariahFreakingCarey]

0:51 runriah was in the house

[@Wtfqayyam]

Yall pls they added runway to caution 😭😭😭

[@darianroswall]

omggg thank you so much! how have i not known about this before?? now i don’t have to search youtube everytime i wanna hear it

[@eduardocarvallo9274]

Can I say I'm a fan of your editing? It's so funny 😂

[@imNotZack_]

1:07 was the F#5 in this performance dubbed or live? 3:50 also I don't think that was whistle :sob:

[@smulemaster]

At 3:50 i think its a super headtone... almost sound like a whistle but definitely a super headtone

[@imNotZack_]

@@smulemaster or falsetto

[@giulianacr2638]

​@@smulemaster so rare, it sounds heavier and more classical than her whistles.

[@giulianacr2638]

​@@imNotZack_ falsettos are airier

[@smulemaster]

@@giulianacr2638 reverb added so much to it...

[@smulemaster]

Some are not stacatto... 😊 some are just dodged notes... but not specifically stacatto...

[@daydream2378]

I love this channel

[@alejandrotassone7826]

3:55 MEOW

[@rodaadar9703]

Love and peace

[@anushkakulkarni112]

I love both but depends on the song and how she uses it, like sometimes stacatto adds so much more to a part but sometimes it sounds like she's just struggling lol

[@cho.s.en1]

I LOVE HER SCATTS

[@benriveranav]

Upper Head Voice Vs Whistle

[@christohae6619]

Not the T-painriah lol 😭

[@tylerhackner9731]

I love staccato more

[@alanramos9302]

0:27 is not staccato, but legato.

[@soaribb32]

Legato always...The stacatto ones mostly sound like a cop out cuz her support is lacking.

[@alanramos9302]

2:07 is legato

[@alanramos9302]

The classification is soooo unclear...

[@vg6761]

5:46 she spoilt this :(

[@mtroy7977]

Well she was tired for majority of 1998-2000 so what could she do?? If you can do better, please show the class :3

[@rosemont2283]

Well considering that she sang the rest of the show at least mostly live on every song, of course she would sound tired. In the clip after that, she could do that but it’s because she lipped songs prior that.

[@cynixie8862]

i hate staccato
