In her debut year 1985, her first performance of 'Home', her voice was at its lightest and thinnest natural sound. I;m guessing once her smoking habit picked up, her habit slowly got heavier and her voice got fuller. Now In 1991 'The Bodygaurd' was filmed and opened in 1992. According to Whitney, she says the freebasing started soon as 'The Bodyguard' was finished and at that time she began dating Bobby. So Im guessing the cigarettes and now the added freebasing darkened and gave the faux fullness also highlighting the rich layer in her voice as a we could hear in 1993. As you said in 1996 any belts above Eb was shril and by 1998 turned into complete rasp. Her Nodules were taking affect and her voice sounded dry. But throughout her stamina remained impressive, which is something Mariah has lacked. I agree Mariah has for the most been a studio artist more so after 1993. Even hearing her some of the audio from the the Music Box tour archives, Im not sure if she was just sick or didnt realize she had Nodules at that point but she sounded winded an couldn't reach some of her chest notes higher notes.<br />My Grandmother who raised went to a Whitney Concert back in 1990 and told me how powerful her voice and that it echoed throughout the venue and her high notes was the best she ever heard. I think I prefer Mariah songs, I guess for the lyric content. but vocally I would have much rather experienced Whitney live.Mini Pinestonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-9547278334404866752014-01-06T20:52:17.229+00:002014-01-06T20:52:17.229+00:00You are thinking,and I thought I knew a lot about ...You are thinking,and I thought I knew a lot about these vocalist. I have never thought about your theory before, but it makes a perfect sense, (artificial thickness). The shift from her full, darker 1990- 92, then in-between transition in 1993, when she stopped smoking, her voice would begin to return to its natural state. Then by 1994 her natural, clear, high and light sound returned. Even her speaking voice in older interviews sounded different in those early years. I can even see that in Rihanna, (Im in no way saying she is on there level.) But since her debut she began smoking and we constantly see the pics she post on Instagram smoking whatever. There are a lot of people who argue Rihanna's voice improved and gotten fuller. <br />Drinking, nodules, stress, lack of rest, over usages, demanding, songs, and backlash from past smoking habits can take a voice down. Now vocal hemorrhage I don't know to much about.Mini Pinestonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-20339181698550825602014-01-06T20:14:43.715+00:002014-01-06T20:14:43.715+00:00Really?

Subjectively speaking, however, it would much more fitting to say whose 'tone/style/musicality' you like/love/appreciate more and so fourth. Nonetheless, they both had incredible instruments and were the rawest as well as the most soulful and impassioned of singers you could ever find.<br /><br /><br />Personally, I love their voices both the same albeit I do adore Janis' music much more than Tina's solo output. Notwithstanding, Tina.T is a 'Dramatic- Mezzo-Soprano' of whom possessed the, naturally, wider lower register/mid-register and had a 'medium-to-large' vocal size and volume output whereas Janis.J was a 'Full Lyric- Mezzo-Soprano' (although her voice deteriorated into that, she was a 'Full Lyric-Soprano in her early years) and had a 'small-to-medium', though generally medium- based, volume output and vocal size along with a much more clear and effortless upper- register. They were both able to mix incredibly well - up to a stunning B5/C6 - albeit where Janis' voice would wane in power, Tina's voice would blossom as she ascended higher into her range.Colemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-25525236233350743282014-01-06T14:14:30.341+00:002014-01-06T14:14:30.341+00:00Who would you say was the better singer?

I think vocally Mariah has moments where she's spot on and moments where she's just off.

This, alone, proves another theory of mine; if you listen to the sound and dynamics of her voice between 1990 - 1992, it possessed a very rich & solid quality (that may have been brought on via. her smoking habits of which gave it an artificial thickness) but by 1993, when she had stopped, her voice quickly restored itself and reverted back to its ORIGINAL form which was 'naturally- light & high', but, as a repercussion and consequence, her voice now had a husky quality to it which added more pressure to her nodules.<br /><br />Also, Mariah began drinking heavily between 1998/2001 - she has said this herself. This is what may have ruined and deteriorated her voice even more during that time. Nevertheless, this period wasn't exactly her best, personally & professionally speaking because of the backlash that Tommy and her Record Label were surmounting her with. She probably found solace in drinking for a time but her breakdown proved otherwise.Colemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-4277316477915906422014-01-06T10:04:56.425+00:002014-01-06T10:04:56.425+00:00In the spirit of "better late than never"...In the spirit of "better late than never"..I just discovered this track by Anouk...<br /><br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBDN1xhcmeQOpie Ever2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-25217851868295005672014-01-06T09:36:32.907+00:002014-01-06T09:36:32.907+00:00Yes, in regards to 'Whitney Houston', I th...Yes, in regards to 'Whitney Houston', I thoroughly agree. I consider '1985 - 1992' to be her true- vocal prime albeit, irrespective of the darkening of her tone post- 1993, she was still very much capable of giving fantastic live performances between then and 1995. Her 'Whitney, I'm Your Baby Tonight & The Bodyguard' era's are my favorite vocal moments of hers. My Mom had seen Whitney on multiple occasions; her 'Moment of Truth, I'm Your Baby Tonight & The Bodyguard' world tours and she still remembers those nights thoroughly and is still AMAZED by the gift she possessed. Nevertheless, between 1996 - 1999 is when the trouble started; she started to have severe difficulty utilizing her chest voice post- E5 to which she would become incredibly shrill if she did, and would often use her head-voice/falsetto in replacement. Her voice, however, did blossom in richness and solidity but it was an artificial one as a result of her 'Nodules, Smoking & Free-Basing'; her tonality was always gorgeous but, by then, it had started to lose it's warmth and clarity. She sounded the best, then, between 'F4 - D5/Eb5' by the time the early 2000's (Pre- 2002 in particular) came around.<br /><br /><br />All in all, aside from the negatives, I very much prefer Whitney to Mariah although I am a gargantuan fan of both. I've always considered Whitney to be one of the rare vocalists of whom performed better and was much more consistent in 'live settings' as opposed to the 'studio', unlike Mariah. I think Whitney was a much more interactive singer than Mariah and her stage presence was incredible. Personally, I've also always considered Whitney to be the "Black- Barbra Streisand" and Mariah to be the "Black/Bi-Racial Teena Marie" if anything.Colemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-5828528443749787832014-01-06T07:59:02.321+00:002014-01-06T07:59:02.321+00:00Well, some of Mozart's lighter female roles ar...Well, some of Mozart's lighter female roles are really better suited for mezzo-soprano than for soprano. For example Zerlina, Susanna, etc. Though they are usually sung by lyric sopranos and soubrettes. <br /><br />I'm equally comfortable singing lyric baritone or high tenor, as well as coloratura tenor stuff - my voice is naturally agile. But my voice really blooms in the spinto/dramatic tenor stuff. I would call myself a "Dramatico d'agilita" such as Hermann Jadlowker and Andrea Nozzari, but with an extended top range.Primo Uomo Assolutonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-86951513128117735912014-01-06T07:47:30.128+00:002014-01-06T07:47:30.128+00:00LOL, I'm a very "private school" typ...LOL, I'm a very "private school" type of person, almost victorian in discipline and self-restrain.

It also dries out the cords and adds unnatural pressure, which will thicken nodules among other things. Mariah is a master at manipulating the sound of her voice for different effect, I wonder if she ever though or was advised about the long term damage that would occur from doing the whisper singing. I like the the way she used the whisper singing in "Cant Let Go',it gave the song a sort of sensual airy sound. But I guess when she started using it as signature sound after 93' it took its toll. Now when she does her improvisations and she rambles in the whisper register it sound terrible and shrill. <br />I think her new found freedom in 96' from leaving Mattola,she popped bottles with Brat and Jermaine didnt help. I saw a documentary where she stated that Jermaine would try to get her to go out with his entourage but she had to be home every night for dinner,orders via Tommy. To keep a voice like Mariah's in top shape, there's definitely gotta be some sacrifices that can be hard for a young person. <br /><br /><br />Now for Whitney, Its hard to believe she is no longer with us. She had such a larger than life presents. She,Luther Vandross, Patti and Mariah are the first two singer I ever heard as child. So I think till this day thats why im so judgmental of vocals because they literally where the first that I learned and for me personally when asked Whitney or Maria which one is better, I genuinely love them both but play them for different reasons. I prefer Mariah for her her extreme range, dramatic highs and lows, multi tones and sultriness. Whitney, her power, solid voice all around, richness, operatic sound to her falsetto, perfect vibrato even though she would sometimes use her jaw (do I need to say more). 1991 Is the year I think her performances on SNL 'All The Man That i Need' and 'The Star Spangled Banner'. Which are two of my favorite live of hers. If only she and Mariah could have duet in 1991,could you imagine the vocals. I consider her debut to 1992 is what I consider her prime even though her voice was still stellar in 93 to 1996. I think her voice just began to darken after 1991 .Probubly from cigarettes and larynx misplacement issue an over touring as Mariah; having to sing all demanding material 100% live. I think around 1996 is when her lifestyle with Bobby and smoking began to take is toll. But even in 1999 her head voice was solid, as seen in live performance of 'There's Music In You'. After that i was a bit dissapointed with 'Just Whitney'. She did look great on the album cover. I Prefer not to think of her last few performances I cant watch them.Mini Pinestonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-60643370322225027392014-01-06T00:15:11.685+00:002014-01-06T00:15:11.685+00:00If my friends and I start the year off rolling, ex...If my friends and I start the year off rolling, expect to see a choreography video for this song on my channel.
