Daydream vocals are completely etheral and superhuman. So fluid, agile, light/powerful at the same time - it just sounded like there was nothing she couldn't do, and she did all of it throughout every song. Butterfly sounds beautiful and raw, but from a vocal standpoint, it falls short of Daydream (and so does every other era to some degree).

Definitely Daydream took the prize (vocally). During this Era, Mariah had experimented with her upper range. Her ease in hitting and sustaining those high notes. Her voice was also very clear with very good technique. In terms of her Butterfly Era voice, I do believe her voice was definitely a little worn out and raspy ( i do like those the rasp tho). But it seems she might have had more fun during this time and was alot more creative and free, not focusing too much on technique. It's like Daydream represented a vocal high excited state and Butterfly was her voice returning to a more balance neutral state. Good video.

Daydream was more fluid and effortless, especially with belts and falsetto/whisper, but butterfly was more consistently on pitch, both with belts and whistles.

I think us fans usually would choose daydream over butterfly because her voice seemed more stronger and healthier but I just think she changed her style of singing during the butterfly era because it seemed like she used more of her chest voice to create a more soulful sound like she did during the music box era and during the daydream era her voice seemed more softer and girlier because of the head voice/ softness style of singing.

Her vocal decline must have been so incredibly frustrating for her to go through. Imagine being able to effortlessly belt G5s and then in just a few years, you struggle to hit even E5s. I would have been so depressed

Butterfly have better whistles

for the "soo faithfully" TYSM FOR NOT USING TOKYO 1998 FOR BUTTERFLY 😭😭😭😭

it seems that in daydream she raises the tone of the music

Love both but I am a butterfly era type of person

For emotions final whistles, you could've done perth with her singing ovet the track (even if she didn't climb up to D7)

Butterfly has better pitch than me. But overall the vocal condition is better during my era😋

Butterfly wins in whistles lower notes, tone, mid belts, soul, melisma, her natural hair too
