    Did you hear his review of American idol’s “worst singers” during audition? The idol producers let not skilled singers pass thru to judge panel in order to make fun of them, with Simon and Randy and Paula snickering at the poor contestants struggling. Instead of snickering or being easily critical along with the judges, Sam gave honest simple and positive suggestions on how they could improve. Of course those contestants were not there to listen to Sam , but if they were I think they would have heard positive helpful suggestions for improvement. Of course idol on TV is for ratings and not for helping singers do better .

    Oof "There's no shame in vocal nodules" -- that's a concept that honestly never occured to me, but I am grateful to start to think on that, having had them myself (I got rid of them without surgery, but it helped derail my hopes for a music major to be on vocal rest for a year as a sophomore at university). It's definitely not the impression I have gotten from previous instructors. It's often used as a judgement against singers--even though mine were actually probably due to my childhood speech (vocal fry & low pitch to sound tougher, bullying sux), and my singing technique probably developed to compensate for the nodules. Anyway--it seems in the wider world to often be held up as definitive/medically verified proof of bad singing. It's nice to consider that it was just an injury and not hard evidence that I didn't deserve to be a singer 😭 Thanks Sam you healed my heart a little bit today

Most are due to bad form but you can retrain your body to pitch better, run better, pole vault better, etc. I have nodules and was never that great of a singer and after they developed, i felt even worse about my voice but watching this video has made me realize that I can recover and train to be a better singer and learn to sing in a way that won't injure my vocal cords.

    Unlikely. A trained ear can hear the presence of nodules as they impact the way the cords phonate. I've "diagnosed" students who've come to me for vocal issues...obviously I sent them to an ENT for proper diagnosis/treatment, but I heard it in their sound. This is not the voice of someone with nodules. As Sam explained, there are hints of bad habits here that led to the issues over time. From interviews I've seen in recent years, Mariah is...well...a little crazy. She's trying to save face, so of course she's going to say that she has always had nodules, so she can try to deny any vocal decline.

    The 90s female artists were just incredible. They’re all equally superior in their own ways. Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Madonna... But Mariah for me was just unmatchable. She truly inspired a whole generation of singers. And helped pave the way for many artists in today’s generation. I have so much respect for these powerful woman. That’s why it annoys me when people make unnecessary comparisons. Besides that Mariah still sounds great and will always be knows as one of the best female singers/songwriters of all time.

    Mariah has said that she's had nodules since childhood. And I'm assuming some of her singing habits, incredibly demanding song catalogue, and work schedule over the years have not allowed them to heal, and worsened them. Also, she's said that her nodules have allowed her to sing higher than many other people and facilitated her singing in the whistle register as well as she does. Obviously, we can't confirm these statements, but just throwing that out there. But anyway, thank you always for your honesty and expertise. This is why your channel is a cut above. And like you said, we can love and appreciate Mariah Carey and still acknowledge that she has some unhealthy singing habits.

I know there are a thousand videos in queue lol but when you get a chance can you react to Anytime you need a friend live at Tokyo Dome. It would be great to see what you think about the differences from 1990 to 1996. ❤️

    People get very confused in terms of healthy / beautiful. Sometimes vocals sound beautiful but they’re not as “healthy” as they could! Mariah creates beautiful sounds but sometimes she sings in a “unhealthy” technique in order to create certain sounds, maybe she could create them without as much effort or tension but it’s how she decided to approach and she’s still brilliant despite all that!

    I just went today to my local ENT because at the beginning of the pandemic (due to requests) I started doing a 3 hour 10 week run on Friday evenings of request driven live shows. The last few i felt my voice was fatigued but just tried to adjust how i approached certain songs so that i could get through it. The last few months I have been really hoarse and thought it may be allergy related, but I knew something was wrong because the hoarseness kept getting worse. I was afraid that I may have nodules, cyst, or a polyp. Prepared for the worst......after he ran the scope down he found that I didn't have any of the big 3 but that my vocal folds were inflamed and suggested that I do 3 to 4 weeks of vocal rest (no speaking) and stay hydrated and then he suggested that I work with a speech therapist and/or voice coach to learn better on how to sing more with my diaphragm to take some of the load off of my throat. Wanted to put this comment out there so that if others are concerned like myself and start reading and expecting the worst, it is not always the worst options you read so much about. I hadn't read of inflamed vocal folds so I was rather stressed out about it. Definitely a good idea to go to an ENT to get checked out. :)

    I’d like to hear your opinion on Whitney Houston’s technique at her prime! I think Whitney and Mariah used to sing similar in terms of pulling chest voice a little too much for effect! So it would be interesting to watch you analyzing Whitney’s vocals. Some interesting performances are “All at once live at American music awards”, “All The Man That I need live at the American music awards”, “Porgy, And I am telling you and I have nothing live” and “I have nothing live at the billboard music awards”!
