Rachelle Ferrell - "With Open Arms" Live ( 25 second belt and whistle note)

Rachelle Ferrell is an amazing singer who not only has a 5 octave range, but can access the whistle register-see 3.44- has incredible stamina- watch how at 5.14 holds a note effortlessly for 25 seconds- and has amazing technique to boot.  A true vocalist in every sense of the word!

Mariah Carey confirms in interview with MSNBC she is pregnant and how she previously miscarriaged

Congratulations

to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon who announced today (oct 28th 2010) that they're  pregnant. She revealed her delay in revealing the good news was due to a previous miscarriage and  her being "superstitious". These worries are clearly still present with Mariah because, even though undoubtedly happy, she did not seem entirely comfortable  revealing the news to the interviewee. Watch the video of her announcing the exclusive news below and judge for yourself.
