    Sheree Price on tambourine. She, her sister Kelly Price, and Melonie Daniels are the three women in black in front of the choir. They were Mariah’s main background divas during the early part of her career. They’re also in the 1960s inspired video of “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.

      Mariah mastered the melismatic singing style. The number of notes in ever bar she insane. Also, she naturally has a very agile voice, so her riffs and runs are very quick. You have to listen to her catalog over and over and you pick up on something different every time.
      I also recommend listening to her studio stems/ a capellas available here on UA-cam. Like for ...emotions, Can't let go, Joy to the world, any time you need a friend, one sweet day, so on and so forth.

    Mariah writes all of her songs, except the Covers, according to her. And I believe that because she talks about how she wrote and produced some of her songs in some of her interviews. She told once that she plays piano, but really bad. However, it was enough to make Vision Of Love and All I Want For Christmas Is You.

      Yeah, we don't disagree here, I love what she's done with it. I feel that’s pretty clear given all the praise I give her in this video. And I said I don't care about it being religious, because some people will get offended by religious content even though I don’t, but that's not what we focus on on this channel. I didn’t say *she* doesn’t care.

    In vocal classical music runs are called Ornamentations/Decorations/or in bel canto it's called Coloratura. Mariah Carey displays these techniques in a pop/gospel style. Very nice job and nice review. Happy Holidays!

    • @HegeOfficial
      @HegeOfficial  Рік тому +1

      Yes, you can definitely use both "ornamentations" or "coloratura". Generally they're used more when talking about the musical aspects of the piece/arrangement, and we often use the word "melisma" to describe the vocal technique itself. But "runs" work too and I prefer to use that word in my videos as everyone will understand what I mean, and as I usually react to pop productions and not classical music :). Glad you liked it, and thank you so much for watching! Happy New Year! :)

    Love Mariah; her control is supernatural. Her vocal gymnastics are epic. One criticism: too many runs for my taste. She sounds so great but would be better (IMO) if she stayed on the phrase longer without melismatic runs every other bar.

      But that's what makes Mariah, Mariah.
      She mastered the melismatic singing style and it has been her thing since day one. The number of notes in one bar is insane...and of course, the number of riffs, runs and transitions throughout an entire song (any MC song) is also asinine. What surprises me is that no matter how excessive, it doesn't come off annoying in any way - always pleasant. You don't even notice unless you're studying the vocal arrangements.
      Beyonce for example, in her DC days and early career would do runs excessivelyyyy to the point you would lowkey lose track of the melody or essence of the song. Thank God she moved away from that.
      P.s. I love Beyoncé. I'm just giving an opinion. Ik her hive are psychos - can't give an opinion without them losing their sh**.

And I like that you praise the talent and skill, regardless of your taste, and you don't just write it off as "bad". Personally, I'm a huge sucker for riffs and runs, especially when the singer has a good ear like Mariah and they show musicality as well as agility and control of their instrument. So to me, when it comes to Mariah it's a "more is more" situation :D haha.
