As one of the most powerful singers in the world, Mariah Carey has countless classic songs, and of course the difficulty is unprecedented. Whether it's X-factor or American Idol or The Voice. In any talent show with some background, the judges will specifically remind those contestants who choose songs by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston to be careful and cautious, otherwise they will be eliminated directly. However, there were too many people who chose to sing the two queens one after another, and most of them "died" in an ugly way. Of course, Mariah Carey's songs have always been difficult to cover. One reason is Mariah Carey's strong talent, and the other is her superb skills. The difficulty of the song itself is mostly suitable only for Mariah Carey herself. Over the years, how many talent show singers have challenged her songs again and again in order to prove their ability, but most of them died under her songs and stopped on stage. However, like a curse, there are so many people with first-class singing skills in the world, but they have never One who can take a Mariah Carey song and make it his own. This is in stark contrast to Mariah Carey's ability to easily turn covers of other people's songs (I'll Be There, Without You, I Still Believe, etc.) into insurmountable peaks...
Now let's talk Characteristics of some of Mariah Carey's typical songs:
The first one, Vision Of Love. Mariah Carey's debut single.
This song, with its shocking high notes and difficult coloratura skills similar to those of Whitney Houston, won Mariah Carey the Grammy Award for Best Female Artist and Best New Artist. Rolling Stone magazine's first impression of Mariah Carey stems from her abundant and squandered treble capital and coloratura skills. Regardless of whether Mariah Carey's decorative style had a positive effect on popularity, it did influence almost all subsequent singers. , and at the same time laid the foundation for the popularity of lyrical RB music. These comments are quite good. The difficulty of Vision Of Love is firstly due to the difficulty in the recording studio. Secondly, Mariah Carey has continued to deepen her interpretation of it during her more than 20 years of music career. She has to do her homework almost every time she sings. Only Mariah Carey can complete the live performance with difficulty. Even in the Adventure concert where her voice was not in good condition, she gave an amazing live performance. Performances: 03 Bracelet Tour Manila (fans secretly photographed); 2006 Adventure Concert (two performances were performed very well, one in yellow and one in red); 91 Grammy; 99 Alma Mater Concert; 95 Madison Square Garden. I recommend watching the unedited version. It was very enjoyable!
The second song, Hero, is a must-have for almost every talent show singer.
Many singers are willing to choose Mariah Carey’s song to prove their ability, but is this song really simple? The highest note of Hero is only E5, which is indeed not high. Unfortunately, I have listened to a lot of covers, and none of them are good, and very few of them pass, let alone score above 70. The song "Hero" looks very simple but is actually very difficult to sing well. First of all, this song hides a lot of skills, but these skills are not used to show off skills, but Mariah Carey's innate musical ability.
If you listen carefully to Hero, you will find that Mariah Carey has manipulated almost every word in the singing at the beginning of this song: the size of the voice, the gravity of the voice, and the softness of the voice. , as well as the appropriate addition of coloratura, the use of a small amount of breath, and even the prolongation of the tone will bring a different feeling to the entire song. Therefore, Hero, as one of Mariah Carey's key repertoires, will also do homework and increase the difficulty in every concert, especially in the 1990s, Madison in 1995, Tokyo, Japan in 1996, and the Dutch Liangbiao G5 in 1996. sexual play. The 2006 Adventure concert was the most straightforward and simple one, but it was also a very touching and wonderful scene. I had the urge to cry every time I watched it.
Performances: 95 Madison, 96 Tokyo, 96 Netherlands, 93 Grand Theater, and several performances in 1994 are also very good, the sound quality is mellow and transparent, the volume is large, and the sound is very strong. If you want to cry, go to 06 Take the risk, the 2009 Angel Tour was also very touching.
The third song, Through The Rain, is also extremely scary. The switching of real and false voices, the use of a lot of breathy voices, especially Mariah Carey's live show, the chorus "I can stand up" goes straight to the dolphin, "l hold tighter to my faith" tighter is turned up and sung, it's really scary!! ! Live: 03AMA; 03MTV UK promotional small concert; there seems to be another one singing in a shopping mall, which is not bad. Having these three concerts is almost enough.
The fourth song, Fly Like A Bird, is another highlight of the 2005 release album. Strong vocal ability, full of gospel flavor, and standard Ma style singing. The main difficulty lies in the conversion of true and false sounds, as well as the performance of the treble in the second half and the use of dolphin sounds. The highest real sound is A5. The most famous official performance of this song is none other than the 2006 Grammy, 2006 Big Adventure, 2008 American Idol performance, and an unknown performance. The scene was very good, flowers were added on site, and it had a golden metallic texture. Live: Dare, American Idol.
Mariah Carey’s dolphin sound is unparalleled in the world. She is the world-famous dolphin sound queen and a super master in the dolphin sound industry. Nowadays, there are many singers who have followed Mariah Carey's steps to practice dolphin tone. Some singers are even taller than Mariah Carey, but no one can use it as freely as Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey's dolphin tone sounds like a whistle but The most inimitable thing is that Mariah Carey's dolphin voice can even be used to sing lyrics! No one except Mariah Carey can do this!
Emotions can be said to be the most difficult song ever to sing, and it is also the song where Mariah Carey hits the high notes the most, from E3 to E7, a classic 5-jump sequence. And the famous Dolphin Stairs... People have to admire Mariah Carey's vocal range, especially the 91MTV live awards ceremony, which reached G#7, which is jaw-dropping. It is difficult to sing a song that no one has successfully covered, let alone perform it. A song that only Mariah Carey can sing.
Bliss, the whole song expresses the beauty of love, and 80% of it is dolphin sound! In this song you can hear Mariah Carey pronouncing the words in a dolphin voice!
Fantasy, the real voice at the beginning transitions directly to the dolphin voice, and the whole song has relatively few lyrics. Mariah Carey just relied on her own coloratura to sing for more than four minutes!
Heartbreaker is a very nice rhythm and blues song, and the coloratura dolphin behind it can be called the most perverted dolphin in history. It is estimated that no one will surpass it in a hundred years.
Loverboy, only Mariah Carey can sing the super high and fast enunciation dolphin at the back, and even Mariah Carey herself was not present for this song, which shows how difficult this song is!
Make It Happen, the highest of which is known as the "Voice of Anger," which is said to be the voice of God. The super shocking Mariah Carey's frighteningly perfect voice was perfectly displayed again after Emotions.
Butterfly is one of the few songs that can fully embody Mariah Carey's vocal range. The main difficulty lies in the conversion of coloratura and breathy voices, as well as true and false voices.
Mine Again, after listening to this song, listen to what key other singers cover this song in, and compare the differences.
And all are real voices!
We Belong Together, Fly Like A Bird, Don't Forget About Us and I Want To Know What Love Is, the first half of these four songs are not too difficult, but the scary thing is the repetition of the last chorus It needs to be raised by 8 degrees and all the sounds are real! Even very experienced singers can hardly sing it. It is almost impossible for singers with insufficient lung capacity to sing the long notes of We Belong Together and Forget About Us, not to mention the long slow love songs Don't Forget About Us and I Want To Know What Love Is, which last for 16 beats. The terrifying dolphin sound of Gundam D7 lasted for 9 seconds! Of course, don't ignore Don't Forget About Us dolphin sound jumps.
Never Too Far, the last long note is high and long, and Mariah Carey even raised a key when most people almost ran out of breath to sing. What is even more terrifying is the 9-second long high note. After that, he immediately returned to the alto range, and lasted for more than 40 seconds in one breath. This can already beat anyone...
That's all I want, but don't think Mariah Carey There are just a few songs. To be precise, each of her songs is quite difficult. What we are fighting for is her unique strength!
Mariah Carey, this pop female singer with the most perfect singing skills in the world, has the most difficult songs. No one can match her so far, and I believe no one will in the future. Being able to compete with it is an indisputable and eye-catching fact. Mariah Carey's songs have always been difficult to cover. This is inseparable from the complex and varied melodies of the songs and her unusual pronunciation method.
