Jonalyn Viray (Fly Like a Bird by Mariah Carey)

[@GarrellWoods]

Well Mariah is using whistle tone. She just sang those notes in head voice which will of course have a more piercing quality when singing that high. It's actually really impressive that her head voice goes that high.

[@laserdisc688]

"It wasn't a whistle. You tried too hard." Boys and girls: try to sing this song. Jona did a fantastic job.

[@science-health-safetymusic2322]

ey peeps! Give Jonalyn credits by singing this MC song! We all know its a tough act but please give her props! I know her personally.... i told her before that i got excited when I saw this video. I told her you were great! (And she really did great here). Then she replied : "thanks kuya! I just love that song. I know it was not perfect but i wanted to sing that to praise The Lord. I just love the lyrics and words of that song (fly like a bird). Enough words, just appreciate and listen! =)

[@monsieur_jl]

I guess this was the first and sadly the last time Jona performed this difficult song and she did great. She was just 18 or 19 here. I hope after about 8 years she will sing this song again and of course she will certainly nail it more.

[@Jolenecorn]

I remember when Jonalyn started in her music career she always mentioned MARIAH CAREY is her big inspiration

[@jasonramolo4915]

Look how she effortlessly change to chest to headtone. This is what I am looking for when someone singing Mariah's Song it is just not about the whistle and high notes its the technicality...She did when she was 19 yrs old ONLY...I know she can easily nail this with her experience today.

there is no such thing as screaming headvoice. that's whistle notes, iba lang ang execution ng whistle notes ni jona since classically trained singer xa... duh? kita mo ba kung gaano ka connected mga notes nya as compared kay mori na pitchy and may tendencies na magbreak.. tapos sasabhin nyo na naman na fans nya INTENTIONAL VOCAL CRACK thingy? duh 2x?... isa si Jona sa mga malilinis kumanta sa Pinas second to Regine V... NO CRACK CRACK na nalalaman... Jona can sing an acapella perfectly dahil walang crack na NAGPAPADUMI sa song.. duh 3x...

This is very hard to sing. Your version is nearly close to the original.

But anyway, no such thing as screaming falsetto as many say. Keep it up.

She sang it better than Morissette imo. Her vocal texture is just so solid. Morissette sounds shaky idk why, and Jonalyn sounds solid and her head voice is pretty amazing. Even though she missed the whistle part. But after watching some of this song covers, its only Jonalyn who sang it best in my opinion. But still, Carey did best of the best. Haha.

[@moki7027]

AndreasChrs i disagree. Jona's voice is heavy to sing this song that requires softness and mixtures of falsetto, headvoice and whistle notes wjere jona failed to execute and did otherwise. Don't drag morissette on this, she did WAY better than this version

uhm i was waiting for someone na kantahin itong favorite song ko sa album ni Mariah, infairness, mahirap talaga ung song but jonalyn gave justice to it. kudos xD

[@smulemaster]

The nasal airy voice of Jona fits the song actually... she just sang it safe for not whistling which is actually good... no need to whistle just to produce a good song... though the whistles of Mariah actually adds the gospel feels on the original music... In case of Mori, she sang it in her own solid round voice where she is confident that she can deliver it better, she just add some transitions from round to airy, it's just noticeable though... but still good plus the whistle register... it's not at par with Mimi's but dahling, who else can do that?

Great effort. This is not an easy song for anyone to tackle and she handled the transitions well and her chest voice was clear. The pitch was a bit shaky, especially at the end, but it was a good showing all the same. There is a reason people don't try to sing Mariah songs - it's because of the subtle complexities that her vocal dynamics provide. This girl did a good job.
