    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..

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    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.
