Re: Interesting question (80,607) (80,609) by MusicfanJ from Germany Tough question, I have to choose Daydream too. I love her voice during 93, when I first heard her voice on "Without you" I was blown away. But in 95 there was "something magical" and I got "addicted" to her music.

Re: Endless Love (80,606) (80,608) by MusicfanJ from Germany Her aura, her smile and the complete look at that time just beautiful. I love her natural look. And yes she looked like a princess. But at the same time so humble. She's a natural beauty and the fact that she had those insecurities makes her even more beautiful. She was shining from the inside plus her beauty plus her voice. It was almost too much. "Endless love" is one of the best romantic songs ever. Mariah and Luther took it to another level. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 22:24)

Re: Interesting question (80,586) (80,607) by Lee from UK Since listening to the recently released acapella vocals of Mariah's earlier songs, I have notice just how raspy Mariah's vocals were even back in her strongest days. Usually when I listen to the studio recordings, I always think of Mariah's voice as being clear as a bell; however, when you listen to the same songs with all of the music and production striped away, you can actually hear that Mariah's voice has always had a raspy edge to it, even on her clearest of notes.

Re: Endless Love (80,600) (80,606) by Bill from the UK I agree but I think everyone has insecurities. Like how Mariah was never photographed from the left side. Her face is beautiful and lovely, and there are so many people who would give "their all" to have natural beauty like Mariah's. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 20:33)

Re: Interesting question (80,593) (80,603) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Well, if you put it that way, there really isn't a flip of a switch, a snap, or something that sounds like an overnight/instant kind of change. I guess it may be explained by the fact that Mariah fans well, not really analyze, but experience and appreciate her vocals in different ways. For me, and I know others as well, I happen to notice differences on how her voice generally sounds with every album including her live vocals during that period. That approach (wow, making this sound like a study now haha) may be a little too simplistic and even weird but obviously some of us do it. Similarly, others also the same, but focus not on the technical aspect of her voice but, how it, well, "makes them feel", which I imagine is even harder to explain.

Re: Endless Love (80,600) (80,602) by Edward from USA Well, on the "Endless Love" video, Mariah was giving beautiful legs left and right, and the girls were screaming to come out of the closet. Little did they know they would eventually come out times 10 and with a make over. And you're definitely right, Mariah was stunningly beautiful. Her attitude made her look like a little princes, she was very unassuming. She knew she had that the gift, but she always show humbleness. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 19:28)

Re: Endless Love (80,600) (80,601) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I meant "masterclass" in the previous post. Oh the joy of typing on an iPhone. Lol. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 17:56)

Re: Endless Love (80,584) (80,600) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Totally agree on O Holy Night. I like other versions, but nothing compares to Mariah's. I truly feel Endless Love is perfection. A masterclads in how to deliver a vocal. I watched the music video countless times singing along and celebrated Marsh's voice with anyone who would listen. It's widely known how much Marah says she hated her look in the earlier years, but I always felt her to be stunningly beautiful, yes the clothing is now dated, but I still look back and think how beautiful she is. I understand she felt suffocated, but she doesn't need glitz, she's already lovely. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 15:54)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,592) (80,599) by B from USA Mariah is just more selective with the roles she even considers. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 15:39)

Re: Interesting question (80,593) (80,598) by Luke from United Kingdom Lol. Isn't the clicking just vocal breaks? I was expecting some drag queen tongue popping. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 15:30)

Divas Battle (80,597) by Twisterman from Brazil A YouTube channel named Adriano Liver TV produced a street fighter with the divas and Mariah coudn't be out. Did she win? (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 15:29)

Re: Interesting question (80,593) (80,596) by 123 from USA I didn't really hear it either but I loved how she started to transition between all her registers in this era version the mainly full voiced vocals of 93. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 14:18)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,592) (80,595) by RibbonB from USA Oh no, no, I am so glad she avoided that bullet girl. That movie was much. I know she dropped out due to her pregnancy right? But I thought her playing that part would have been disastrous. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 14:16)

Re: Interesting question (80,593) (80,594) by Terna from Nigeria Listen again. It's all over Daydream and the live performances from that era. I personally started hearing it in her voice around the "Merry Christmas" album. It's a bridge between chest voice and head voice different note for every voice and when a singer transitions through quickly, there's a click sound there (I think Alicia Keys exaggerates it in her debut song "Fallin"). In Mariah's voice however there's a part in her mid register where its just a succession of "clicks". So to speak. Lol. Even on her recordings,"Oh Holy Night", "My All" etc. Other singers I've heard who have it noticeably are Deborah Cox, Tamar Braxton, Alicia keys and Beyonce I think not sure. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 14:04)

Re: Interesting question (80,590) (80,593) by Andrew from UK I've read about this supposed transition "click" before. Is everyone hearing something I'm not? She's not a frickin' reindeer. Seriously. There. Is. No. Click. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 12:15)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,588) (80,592) by Licia from USA I don't think she's over the acting. I just think she wanted to try directing her own stuff. I don't know what roles I'd like to see her in, but I do know I don't want her to consistently be cast as the diva character. Diva can be funny, but it can also get old. I would have loved to seen what she could have brought to the For Colored Girls role. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 11:23)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,591) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 95 all the way. That really was her peak vocally, when everything fell into one impressive yet delicate balance. Even when we talk about live vocal control, the Daydream era is the benchmark. How she used her voice was also at its best - she was less eager to please and impress. Her performances at that time did not sound like she was trying her hardest to deliberately wow everyone with vocal acrobatics anymore. She sounded like she was confident that the people already knew what she was capable of, and so 1995 to me was the year where her singing shifted from impressive to expressive. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 10:25)

Re: Interesting question (80,589) (80,590) by 123 from USA 93 Mariah vocals where more pop driven but by the Daydream era, she really started to experiment. This video, the magic hidden behind the Daydream era really speaks to what I mean. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 09:57)

Interesting question (80,589) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While 93 Mariah vocals are unmatched her Daydream era vocals gave you everything to speak to your soul with grace, strength, and maturity. Those I love both for different reasons I prefer Daydream vocals. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 04:32)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,582) (80,588) by RibbonB from USA I know, but can you imagine if she wins for both categories. Wow. I guess Mimi got over the acting bug. So strange that she did that vanity Christmas movie. I would love to see her with a significant part in an indie movie. Something bigger and better than Tennessee though. I am dying to see her in a nice music related period movie say from the 50s or 60s, hell even the 70's. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 03:11)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,587) by Stacey from USA 95. Daydream is my fav for good reason. All facets of her voice are on display. That alone is what makes the album such a masterpiece. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:54)

Re: Interesting question (80,583) (80,586) by Licia from USA I really never thought about the differences in her vocals in the early days. Since I've been listening to these acapella and supposed unheard Daydream era vocals I've started to really appreciate Daydream a little more. I can't really explain it (I know it's shocking I can't express myself lol). (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:42)

Re: Endless Love (80,555) (80,585) by Billy from England, UK No one will ever come close to them with singing that song, there [sic] voices where [sic] perfect, so beautiful, one of my favourite songs ever. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:16)
