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.

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.

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)

Re: Endless Love (80,581) (80,584) by Edward from USA Mariah and Luther killed "Endless Love". Just like Mariah killed "O Holy Night". Celine tackled "O Holy Night", but no matter how loud she sung, she ccouldn't match Mariah's version. I love her version too, it's the one I like most second to Mariah's. The video for "Endless Love" is one of those I watched over and over and over again. Oh how I bragged about Mariah and her powerful voice. It was clear, strong, crisp, agile, it was everything. Luther's voice was like butter, organic of course. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 01:23)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,583) by Edward from USA That's a tough one. Even though 93 Mariah was vocally untouchable, her voice during the Daydream era spoke to my soul. I was hooked. I would go with the Daydream voice. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 01:15)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,574) (80,582) by Licia from USA Congratulations to Mary. I keep hearing how good she did in the movie and how good the movie is in general, but the premise of the movie hasn't moved me to watch. I hope she wins, but if not it's probably just a blessing for her to be nominated. She probably didn't expect the nominations. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 23:49)

Re: Endless Love (80,564) (80,581) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I know, right? lol (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:39)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,571) (80,580) by Bill from the UK Both great. Also found an acapella of ABMB here. Shame it cuts out the end as libs. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:22)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,575) (80,579) by Bill from the UK I remember once my mum read me an excerpt from a book she was reading that described a woman's scream as "Mariah Carey being run over by a steam roller". Lolz. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:08)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,571) (80,578) by Billy from Greece Thank you Sarah and Licia for the feedback. Licia, yes I've that one too. Mesmerizing. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 21:45)

Interesting question (80,577) by Andrew from UK Do you prefer the power of 93 Mariah belt or the elasticity of the 95 Mariah range? (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 20:33)
