This is why Mariah will always be my favorite. Belters are a dime a dozen, but Mariah's ability to do razor-sharp, complex riffs is once in a generation.
"Over " has a very fast vibrato to it, that no singer i've heard trying to do that run actually does! Which make the run even more outstanding! If you don't sing the vibrato, the run is easier.
lol Mariah hits F5, Eb5s, D5s, C#5s, C5s, Bb4s and G#4s in this run over and over again with resonance. Too hard of a run lol I hope you'll do Butterfly run (which is even faster lmao!) someday xD
The difficulty is the belted notes with much complexity, unlike other runs & riffs which repeat similar notes over and over again. Not about the speed but complexity & the power band behind.
You are super talented!!! You are a guru and your explanations are impeccable! Genius! In any case I see how many talented people can easily sing superhard Beyoncè's runs, or Jasmine's or Brandy's, etc (btw I do looove all of them!) but Mariah is the only one that is impossible to replicate with same notes + same speed + same flawless effortless singing + same tone + same compression + same naturalness! She is the greatest singer ever, often imitated, never duplicated!🙌🙌
Genuinely think this is one of the best series ideas. Not only is it really helpful in the way that it makes everything seem singable, but also it's funny as well! Brilliant!! Natalie, you're the best.
On the third section you must go again with "oooooo" and the fourth with "veeeer"... Over is said twice. This video is amazing, you can learn it very easily. Thanks.
I love how she breaks it down but let's be real it isn't easy. Completely missed the emotion and the powerful bluesy notes at the end. And the turn at the beginning. It really is the most inventive riff I've heard from mariah. But I'm just a listener and you guys are the pros so what do I know. ;)
+Christopher Davis a listener counts, since you are able to differentiate the one with emotion and soul from the one with out it! that's the clear example of it. I second your opinion.
The point of BDTR is less having them learn it exactly like the singer, but rather teaching how to sing the riff itself and letting the person do what they want with it. The girl in the video now knows enough that she can do the rest of the work herself if she wants to. It’ll take much more practice to be able to sing it exactly like Mariah
She was breaking down and teaching the riff. Not how to apply emotion to it. She was only doing the technical part here. The singer can then add his/her flavour and personal touch then, whensinging the whole song.
Wow ... Natalie i applaud you . This is the "missing link" in music study. Years ago i tried so hard to find instruction on this. I was told that it was "undefinable" , "unteachable" and that that technically the notes were "in the cracks" You do an incredible job "Breakn It Down" and i love your voice. And ya know ... I always think ... One More Wonderful Gift from Black America ✨
Natalie OMG I just sang along with you guys and was able to do it THREE TIMES! First time ever attempting rifts! Thank you so so so much you're an amazing teacher!
Excellent videos breaking down the riffs. I love Mariah, I've always thought she sang "over" twice in this riff. I love your formulas though! 'Oh 12345 1234 / 1234 / da ra ra ra da' for the "Over-OooO-Over" is amazing. Thanks for teaching us!
I really like what you're doing here...and I just wanna have a beer with you in the city sometime. You have that nurturing attitude that disarms whatever "student" you're working with. Nice job.
Hey Natalie! I really liked the two videos you posted on your channel. Great idea! When will you do the next ones? Can we suggest some riffs too? Regards from Brasil :-)
Well I wasn’t implying they are the only ones, but they are best commercially successful artist that have clear coloratura skills to a high level, with the musical creativity and intelligence to come up with some of the most interesting & original melisma’s .
Imagine, the amount of effort laid out to grasp the run. And Mariah just came up with it. GENIUS.
Mariah’s material requires people to study it to understand it
Damn this riff! Mariah belted it so naturally too, incredible! Girls you're incredible too :).
crazy!
willam belli LOL i saw your ig post and came back to watch this video
wtf willam what are you doing here???!

@@borabora1309 LOL
We love that you are a proper Mwriah fan Willam. Blessed day.
This is why Mariah will always be my favorite. Belters are a dime a dozen, but Mariah's ability to do razor-sharp, complex riffs is once in a generation.
Love how the girl got it so quickly, let's face it lambs, we can't do it ever LOL
I'm trying 🤣
We can:)
I attempt these vocals and feel like my neighbors are going to call the police thinking I’m torturing animals 😅
@@MariahIsSkinnyFuckBlueLives LMAO at your comment and username 🤣
Not even ten minutes and I learned something I've been listening to for 20 years 🤩🤩🤩
"Over " has a very fast vibrato to it, that no singer i've heard trying to do that run actually does! Which make the run even more outstanding! If you don't sing the vibrato, the run is easier.
The transitions as well. I've never heard anyone else do it as smoothly as Mariah.
I love this riff so much. It's just so much musicality in one brief moment of a song.
lol Mariah hits F5, Eb5s, D5s, C#5s, C5s, Bb4s and G#4s in this run over and over again with resonance. Too hard of a run lol I hope you'll do Butterfly run (which is even faster lmao!) someday xD
chung2F5 can't wait for this too
@@flyer53act which butterfly run ?
@@hyun808 The song Butterfly's climax
Mariah's creation is so amazing

Thank you more than you'll ever know for doing this Natalie!
This "Breaking Down The Riffs" idea is one of the best I've ever saw.
Thanks for sharing this, Natalie!
You are amazing! =D
this video is iconic
please do Mariah Carey's Butterfly, Destiny's Child's Emotion, and Beyonce's I Care
Totally agree with Butterfly, but DC Emotion isn't easy?
Genuinely think this is one of the best series ideas. Not only is it really helpful in the way that it makes everything seem singable, but also it's funny as well! Brilliant!! Natalie, you're the best.
man I've been looking for this forever
On the third section you must go again with "oooooo" and the fourth with "veeeer"... Over is said twice. This video is amazing, you can learn it very easily. Thanks.
I can't believe how easy this really is once you break it down!! Thank you so much for this video
I have the beginning and the end... the middle came out anyway it wanted too... but thanks you you showing me how to count the numbers it’s Perfect.
Urhiness415 same! 3d part is killing me 😭
Loving this series. You are a really great teacher.

@@theseeker2586 she didn't teach the vowel modification on the riff... It's a part of the riff.... So it wasn't that good
@@igorvilela3243 agreed. Mariah did an awesome job on the vowel modifications which is why the riff turned out the way it is.
Ok, she did same notes but the vowels should be different per note. "ova-a-a-a, a-a-a, u-u-u-u-u, wo-a-a-a-ah"
Jenno Ranin When she first started these vids, she didn't care for vowels but in the newer ones, she does.
Right, the sounds Mariah makes is what makes it so much more phenomenal than just the notes themselves...oooovaaaaahhawwwwaaaooooooaaaar 💚
@@rollingapples6579 Link? It is literally impossible to do it in the exact same way
@@honestperson3042 on her Tik Tok, she did
OMG these riffs breakdowns vids are so fun
I LOVE her reaction to it the first time XD
I can't do this riffed, I'm so emotional :/
She sounds like a song bird I'm crying
Natalie ..I've been looking for something like this for ALL MY LIFE!!!!! Thank you!
You are absolutely amazing!!!! I am learning quite a bit from you. Thank you so much for posting!!
I freaking LOVE Natalie! She's such a sweetheart ♥
Because of this, this once-thought as impossible riff is now doable for me.
can you do mariah careys riff on over the rainbow? the one that says blue birds flyyyyyYYYYyyyyyy
Wow ... Natalie i applaud you . This is the "missing link" in music study. Years ago i tried so hard to find instruction on this. I was told that it was "undefinable" , "unteachable" and that that technically the notes were "in the cracks"
You do an incredible job "Breakn It Down" and i love your voice. And ya know ... I always think ... One More Wonderful Gift from Black America ✨

Excellent videos breaking down the riffs. I love Mariah, I've always thought she sang "over" twice in this riff.
I love your formulas though! 'Oh 12345 1234 / 1234 / da ra ra ra da' for the "Over-OooO-Over" is amazing.
Thanks for teaching us!
Just saw the Les Mis tour, and you are a fabulous Cosette! :)
Still sad Nat was on vaca.
Yayyy one of my favorite riffs!!! :D
OMG it's so easy after breaking down, thanks a lot
This is a really great idea!
Just discovered your videos and am hooked. Great job!
I really like what you're doing here...and I just wanna have a beer with you in the city sometime. You have that nurturing attitude that disarms whatever "student" you're working with. Nice job.

I love your work!!!! This is so cool and easy now lol

Great!thanks a lot!!
Natalie, This is so exciting. Now, I need you to break down a run from Karen Clark-Sheard and the other Clark Sisters.
Crazy SIck AWESOME!!!!!
Muito bom o video, não tem nada igual na internet eu acho, muito bom.
So funny! So good!
You need to meet Colleen Ballinger aka Miranda sings, aka Pchsyo Soprano
Natalie Weiss has a video with Miranda somewhere. Miranda gave her a free singing lesson. :)
Hey Natalie - thanks for the shout out! This riff always makes me want Taco Bell, haha. Love this series - keep em coming! xo Chris
Фантастика!
You should totally break down Orfeh's riff from Finale in The Great American Trailer Park Musical at the 1:50-1:56 range. such amazingness!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ incrível, excelente ❤❤❤❤
