Mariah's runs and riffs are the most complex but they never ever sound overdone..Like you said, they sound like natural extensions of the melody..It's because she has pretty much the best musicality ever..I do not worship her like most lambs..I see her limitations..But she is most definitely the best in runs and riffs..She is almost impossibly agile that when you pay close attention, you hear notes in her riffs you would initially miss..Her freaking musicality is unmatched..

To me, the image of her prime vocal is like the early sunshine in the morning touching on your face but you can still feel the chill in the air which makes you feel her voice becomes even warmer.

5:41 when you said “Jumping between different registers” reminded me of the bridge of her song When I Saw You. She sang “with no beginning and without and end” and the way she played with both a riff and the register when she said “end” has always amazed me. She goes from hard and resonant, to soft and whispery. I love that so much. It’s so short and simple, probably goes unnoticed, but I just love how she’s able to jump back and forth between different registers in a matter of milliseconds !

Omaga yesh i listened too
Mariah's voice to me is like honey, sweet but cleasing.
Thank you for bringing that gem back to us. Everybody knows „hero“ and „without you“, some know „emotions“, but this really is a dark horse from her 1995 Album - and probably one of her best performances. So emotional and full of feelings. The nineties were so great! And I also love the „flying hands“!
No one could top vintage Mariah! Fell in love with her the first time I heard, “Vision of Love”, and have never looked back.

Great reaction and analysis! 🐑❤️ I love the emotional-ness of this performance

Mariah is just so amazing!!! please do more of her videos!!!

My favourite Open Arms performance!
I’m in my 20s and I have to say she’s the greatest singer ever! My generation can’t imagine this level of talent
im like you 100% at the end!!!! feel like im in heaven with those BEAUTIFUL MELISMA
Her voice is amazing. Hearing her in her prime (instead of the overplayed Christmas music) takes me back to high school when it was impossible to escape her songs on the radio. For your next reaction you should check out Jacob Collier's performance of Fix You (by Coldplay) from the Live for There With Care series. I am going through a heartbreaking divorce and his song has been playing on loop to give me something beautiful to keep me going until I get to better times.
It's just the perfect Daydream era moment, she's in full command of her powers and everything is smooth, rich cocoa buttery heaven and yet she was at the worst place emotionally. She gave up all of herself for us and kept clinging to that inherent faith for something she deserved! Goddess energy present 💖💖💖💖
The way she sings makes the music so beautiful, touching and emotional... For me she is the best and I will remember it all the time...
i think what sets her apart from apart from her peers or people like beyonce who she gets compared to, is just the ease of transitions and that fact that in her prime she mastered every facet of the human voice. Her lows were great, mixed/belting was amazing, head voice and whistle were unmatched. Like you said her runs were OTT but served the melody and didnt sounds like christinas messy runs. Plus that tone is insane, you either have a pleasant tone or you dont and she got really lucky with a buttery yet distinguishable tone that worked perfectly with her skillful voice.

Exactly, I cannot stand Christina's runs and don't listen to her. Her runs always sound the same and don't match the melody.
OMG ever since I saw her first video I fell in love w her talent/ voice and performance. What an outstanding young lady and your reaction is always outstanding as well. Thank you
Thank you coach for this amazing analysis of such a great performance!
Such an incredible and Legendary Songwriter, Singer and producer👑💯
We all live for Mariah! Thank you so much for your video. I loved seeing you enjoying!
You’re one of my new faves channel now. I just love how you react to her because as a lambily since 1998 it takes a lot to study how Mariah sings, it takes to be a fan of the queen to really explain this and that and you nailed it. 🙌😉💖
"All hail and bow to Mariah Carey! The mixed race beauty that shortened the gap between urban sounds and pop without compromising her musical identity creating the modern sound at the top of the charts we listen to today, The Glamazon with legs insured by 1 Billion Dollars, The Queen of Divas, Protector of the vocal skills from the realm, Archiduchess of Vocal range/registers, Empress of agility, The unmatched, The Mellisma mother, The Goddess of Songwriting and producing, The one often imitated, but never duplicated, The embodiment of pure success",. My simpleton ears are not worthy of your talent but a simple sung phrase will be enough to heal me for all eternity.

Bring more Mariah prime please!!!!
One of my favorite performances of OpenArms. The ending run always gets me 😍 . Her voice is one of the most agile voices I've ever heard along with Tori Kelly, and no matter how many times her tone changes it stays beautiful. Please do MC: Anytime you need a friend (Tokyo Dome) Butterfly (On David Letterman or SNL) My all (SNL) I still believe (Rosie O'Donnell) The One (live) Never to far/Hero medley (NYC Hall Park)
Amazing analysis!!
Great video! I can definitely tell you are a genuine lamb and not a fake one. Please do more of MC, try "Anytime You Need a Friend" live at Tokyo dome pleasee! Also, did you just use a Grey's Anatomy reference haha. And I love the captions you put on the vid. New sub here!

Could you do If It’s Over live at the 1991 Grammys? One of her best performances
Mariah reminds me of the great, timeless singers like Aretha, Gladys, & Minnie, so agile & idiosyncratic. Her distinction comes from her unique mix of everything that came before her. She is the current queen of melancholy soul 😢💔
No one can come close to Prime Mariah. No. One.
Yesss yesss yesss... I agree with you.. Mariah is a distinguish voice 🥰🥰🥰
My favorite live Mariah Carey performance is definitely emotions in my opinion
wonderful reaction.. As you describe Mariah's vocal techniques, I hear an accurate description of Angelina Jordan, for instance her "My Funny Valentine" released 2/14/22.
Her runs are definitely complex. Among the most intricate I've heard for sure but, for me, what sets her apart is the ability to transition so seamlessly. There is no break, no pause, no disconnect. I can't see how you get better at transitioning. Also her versatility with the different vocal registers in her arsenal, her pleasant tone, buttery smooth, young sounding but powerful at the same time and the fact that she writes and produces her stuff. If she was also a proficient instrumentalist then few people in the industry could relate. Few do as it is.
So much hate in the comments. Many people envious that Mariah's talent is unmatched
Her vibrato is so fast that you don't realize it is there
Mariah amazing!!! Many thanks for the react, please Whitney now!!! :)
Please also review 2000-2010 Mariah - her charmbracelet performances and emancipation of Mimi ones are amazing ! It’s not just “prime” Mariah from the 90s that is amazing.

its ok. one thing about esau is that they will always insist that they or someone close to them is the best of everything. to use an age old adage, all bs must be seen for what it is. they, all of them, will always be in second place to the voice.
You should definitely react to Brandy Norwood. She's a singers singer. The Vocal Bible.
React to Whitney Houston
1996 was the last year of her prime. After that the voice was gone. Whistle and low remained but the high belting and thickness to her voice - just gone.

Wrong. Vision Of Love performances from 1998 on tour, My All performance from 1997 SNL & Butterfly performance from SNL 1997 proved she could still hit her upper belts. I'd say after 1998, her upper belts became cut in half. Her voice remained thick 'til 1999 tho.

I recommend to check out Angelina Jordan. Her way of singing is out of this world!, even though she's still a teenager. Her realm is jazz/pop.
Theres some stress in her voice at beginning. Shes sang this better. Mariah has great tone though and is beautiful singer.
