everyone who's worked with Mariah always say that she's a musical genius. the way she writes songs, comes up with her lyrics, composes her melodies, how she stacks layers and harmonizes with herself in different octaves, how she rewrites and rearranges her songs for remixes, etc. this woman is just otherworldly!!! give her her flowers people
Even with all Mariah’s achievements, she is still under appreciated as F*ck. They are just waiting for her demise before they reminded the world who she was.
@@o6279 I didn't like her "new" music and she lost her mind. The last I saw her, she made a complete fool of herself, when she stopped "performing" (she was not singing) in the middle of her set on live TV. That was a complete disaster and unprofessional, for a singer of her caliber. She goes around "playing" a Diva, when she is not. Her best work was long ago.
This is exactly why Mariah Carey deserves her flowers right now why she is still alive! The woman is a BEAST AT SONGWRITING, SINGING AND PRODUCING! She is truly one of the last few legends left!
Never question Mariah Carey. People STILL do. People still question her talent. They question her vocal abilities and songwriting and production. She’s the REAL DEAL!! One of a kind. A dying breed of superstar that we will NEVER see again!!
One of Mariah’s best performance was on When You Believe. Instead of trying to compete with Whitney she perfectly harmonizes and enhances Whitney’s performance every step of that song. So amazing.
That key change of "I Don't Wanna Cry" is EVERYTHING! The song is full of hooks and brilliant chord progressions.....it's so sad that we no longer seem to be able to write music like that, or has it just fallen out of fashion? What on earth just happened?!?
*2:50** WHEN HE SAID SHE COULD SING LIKE THE YOUNG MJ! YES, I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING FOR YEARS.. THAT THE EARLY MARIAH HAD VOCALS THAT LITERALLY MATCHED LITTLE MJ VOCALS.. ITS WAS SURREAL.. EXCEPT SHE WAS ABLE TO ADD MORE WIDTH & TONE TO IT BUT IT CRAZILY RESEMBLED MJ.. especially in ILL BE THERE.*
It amazes me that Mariah with over 30 years writing and producing number 1 hits, these so called "music experts" STILL don't know she writes and produces her own music. SMH.
Most people don't know the difference between "Performer" and "Song Writer" and "Song Writer-Performer". They just know what / who they see singing/rap verse .
It's always refreshing to see people who have worked with Mariah give her respect and credit where it's rally due. I love all of Mr. Walden's work, especially with Mariah and Whitney.
Yooooo seriously Mariah Carey totally representing Long Island New Yorker! Best way to stir up the pot is come in raw talent and full on for blood! Mariah was in her own league! No comparison to whitney cause she has her own sound too! Amazing artist don’t need comparisons
She knew where she stood with Whitney. She didn’t want any of Whitney in the beginning (which sux) and I wish they’d worked together sooner when they were newer. The shit they have in common….😩😩❤️❤️
@Ciarra Johnson Well, that wasn't really the case. Both were vocal titans that were secure in their abilities and didn't feel threatened by one another. MC has stated that she never felt threatened because she worked on being the best Mariah (anything outside of that didn't matter to her).She just wanted to achieve greatness by working on her full package. Singing, songwriting, arranging vocals, composing melodies, producing... Their song together was beautiful. I'll never get over the Oprah performance of it. Wish they did a catchy pop song too.
Loved seeing Narada talk about Mariah!! Mariah's voice and songwriting skills are not to be played with! So glad she got inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame this year!! She clearly took all the tips she learned from her first album and then started co-producing all her records from Album 2. She's stated that at the beginning she made it clear with the label that she would not be singing songs written by anyone else but herself and any writing partner she would wish to have and I'm glad she did because her demo tape (before she was signed) itself had 3 Number One songs including Vision Of Love. The label just had to trust her! She's also stated that she didn't realize her input with the songs being made on her debut album was actually her producing (she was also shy and intimated by the big names she worked with), hence she negotiated for production credit on her sophomore album when she fully realised her power as an artist.
@HighHopesBass Lots of people don't have the faintest idea how _any_ record labels work. So what? The OP was obviously just expressing admiration for Mariah. No need to be snarky about it.
@@BassByTheBay Exactly, and what we don't know, we found out through lawsuits brought by the artists. For a lot of haters, it's easy to be snarky and rude because they don't believe that Mariah desrves credit.
Mariah is the greatest vocalist of all time and greatest songwriter of all time and this guy just substantiated that and she’s the best selling female artist of all time
How come no Ody that has ever worked with her has said the things u are saying about her voice being underdeveloped? How come vocal coaches don't say the same stuff u are saying?
The way legit musicians talk about Mariah is a testament to her genius. The media would just rather focus on tabloid worthy headlines about her because that shit sells. Mariah is among the last of the very few REAL legends we have around, we need to give her what she's due - while she's still here. Because she earned everything, she worked hard and busted gates wide open. Mariah is a LEGEND and though they say legends never die, the person unfortunately does. So let's celebrate Mariah while she's still alive. Icon. Diva. Music Genius. 💖
Urghh I want a well done MC documentary...need it tbh! With people like him who were on her journey throughout her career. I can listen to people talk about her musical genius all day.
A lot of producers always say how professional, committed and passionate Mariah is when writing music with her. Singers say she’s also great to collaborate with, rappers say the same. I truly believe Mariah is a good soul, a good person but she’s probably not afraid to look mean and Diva to the others because of the business she evolved in. That’s a tough business and she managed to survive, most of the time on her own. Tommy was there for the 7 first year but ever since she’s been floating in the music seas like one of these mogul.. well.. she is a mogul herself. I admire Mariah.
Mariah is so successful because she is a lyricist, producer, singer and song writer. She does it all! Most artists these days only sing, but have everyone else do everything else. One few examples that does it all is Taylor Swift, but she isn't in the same caliber when it comes to singing and lyricist as Mariah. Mariah is a musical genius, no one has yet to match her, to this day. And that's the real tea.
I am _so glad_ you guys devoted two episodes to Narada. His passion and energy is so infectious, and hearing about his work with those legends is an absolute treat. He deserves as little editing as possible!
So glad they mentioned 90s boyband music somehow resemble and is influenced by Mariah's music, coz I've noticed these very similar patterns and harmonics too
I once came across a comment about Mariah Carey saying: "It's easier to find another earth than to find another Mariah" and what can I say, it's true. This lady is talented beyond belief and her voice in my humble opinion has the perfect timbre and tone. The unmistakable beauty of her sound and how colourful and powerful her voice can be....in this department Mariah has no equals. The only other female singer that comes to my mind with a comparable ability to display various sound within one voice was Maria Callas in the operatic genre. Mariah is the full package artist with her instrument, craft, perfect ear, ability to produce melody and text. People mostly do not acknowledge her out of envy, as she is so ridiculously gifted. But her life was no fairytale and she worked her behind off to get where she is. She respects people before her and after her. She is a class artist and definitely my favourite voice and singer. She's family.
Thank you so much for being music historians with these legendary musicians. You guys and Rick Beato are doing the really important work of documenting the stories from the people who lived it!
Is she writing lyrics? Hahaha That’s why mariah always says “as a songwriter”… Narada has clearly stated that he just took care of the chords, and all is Mariah’s stuff
@@codywalsh2075 Exactly. People refuse to believe her being a great writer and producer because mariah doesn't give off an image of a stereotypical writer or producer who plays instruments and stuff. They find it hard to believe since mariah's "diva" and "glamour" image seemed to not coincide with being a writer/producer.
Yea, she does the composition of the song but just with her voice instead of her playing a chord! Which is why Narada said she has a mic and him the instrument because she will direct him musically as well as him directing her. Mimi really deserves so much more credit!!
@dead wax, if you're a so-called music channel, you should know that mariah carey wrote and produced all her songs... google is free and you can see the writing credits for yourself. this is the greatest songwriter of all time and the lack of acknowledgement she receives despite her accolades and success is because she is a woman.
"A spaceship with a future!" indeed. This is such a guest with so much history and the energy, passion, memory, and storytelling ability to get you fired up about it as well!
I am so lucky the algorithm gods sent me to the Pro Musicians channel. If you don't know who Narada Michael Walden is, it will change your life as a drummer/musician/lover of music! Peace from Detroit MI.
@@alfredoaguilar4639 if you know, you know. You can’t compare her to anyone. She came from the bottom and crafted her whole life throughout all the adversity. Not to mention her pure musical talent and that limitless voice!
THIS MAN is not only playing on Come on come over, Black Market and My Spanish Heart but ALSO produced How Will I Know and freakin "i love your smile" by Shanice... never realized. Much thanks Mr. Walden and thank you guys for bringin him in to tell those wonderful stories !!
UNBELIVEABLE! Great great interview! To see his achievements as a producer...and then to remember how he stopped the world from turning listening to his drumming on "Visions of the emerald Beyond"!!! MY GOD WHAT A GENIUS!!! Thank you!
It was Kismet between Narada and Mariah. Ultimate brilliance of talents working together. Thank you Dead Wax for sharing this very important interview.
This is awesome, yall need to do one on Taylor Dayne. She was out at the same time but never got the love becasue its hard to go toe to toe with Both Whitney and Mariah. Keep killing it yall. Learning alot.
Just on Bacharach and people who knew how to write songs - I remember an interview with Burt where he said not to be scared of wrting something (a tune) that people can remember. What a great guideline! It seems to me that if you can't sing it, it doesn't grab the heart as much. And on Britney, this may be musical heresy but there's an album on Spotify covering her songs a bossanova and I'm fascinated with it because the lyrics you never noticed really jump out at you (the way they do in a Pomplamoose cover!). One last thing - can we have a whole episode on Jaco stories please ;)
This was SO GOOD. LOVE YOU GUYS and Narada is The Best Cat In The World. So full of joy and humanity as well as being the genius that he is. Thank you, you guys. Sam McNally, Australia.
Excellent episode! However, some information does not add up: Narada claims that Mariah Carey and him wrote 4 songs during their recording session and he says that 3 of them were part of her first album project. That is incorrect as the only song co-written by Narada Michael Walden on this album is "I Don't Wanna Cry". He did some additional production on "Vision Of Love" and "There's Got To Be A Way" but both tracks were written by other people (Ben Margulies, Ric Wake and Mariah Carey). So it would mean that there are 3 unreleased tracks in the vault and not one ... ? I wish he could clarify that soon!
@@Sttephy30 Thanks! Are you 100% sure ? Cause "I Lose Control" was released way later in late 1993 on the 2d LP of Pennye Ford. So it means they would have kept the demo on the side for quite some time... Plus, Narada did claim the 3 tracks were used in Mariah's first album, so it does not add up. And yes, there is still one missing track + the one in the vault.
@@daikisoulrnb7815 Yes, Mariah recorded all of the songs they did. When Mariah released her The Rarities album in 2020, Walden tried to reach her, and tell her that he had the other songs, and I Lose Control was one he mentioned. I don't know the other 2 songs names tho.
everyone who's worked with Mariah always say that she's a musical genius. the way she writes songs, comes up with her lyrics, composes her melodies, how she stacks layers and harmonizes with herself in different octaves, how she rewrites and rearranges her songs for remixes, etc. this woman is just otherworldly!!! give her her flowers people
she is a prodigy and legend
Traitor corey rooney begs to differ.
Janet jackson does the same thing
Even with all Mariah’s achievements, she is still under appreciated as F*ck. They are just waiting for her demise before they reminded the world who she was.
Happens to all geniuses and talented people
That's not true but okay. 😂
I was one of her biggest fans in the early years.
I bought every single, remixes, etc etc
After Butterfly, everything went downhill from there.

Eh...Marvin Gaye🌻
Whitney will always be my favorite but Mariah is incredible. Only these 2 vocal geniuses can make me bawl my eyes out when they sing 😘
Many vocalists can make me cry. Especially ones from church.
It's beautiful you can appreciate both.
They hit different. For me it’s the opposite but that’s okay. Whitney’s voice was one of a kind. When she sang, she sangggggggg.
Don't forget Celine she's a beast also all three are probably the greatest female vocalist that ever lived.
That's the trinity... It's all coming back to me now! To love you more all by myself cover.... Epic!

The other song is "I Lose Control"... I'm not sure about the other 2 songs.
@@Sttephy30 Thanks! Are you 100% sure ? Cause "I Lose Control" was released way later in late 1993 on the 2d LP of Pennye Ford. So it means they would have kept the demo on the side for quite some time...
Plus, Narada did claim the 3 tracks were used in Mariah's first album, so it does not add up.
And yes, there is still one missing track + the one in the vault.
@@daikisoulrnb7815 Yes, Mariah recorded all of the songs they did. When Mariah released her The Rarities album in 2020, Walden tried to reach her, and tell her that he had the other songs, and I Lose Control was one he mentioned. I don't know the other 2 songs names tho.
Lovely guest: Narada an inspiration for 4 decades!!
Great Interview 👋
I meant to just watch the first 10 minutes of the first video! Here I am in the second vídeo and can’t stop listening to Narada.
Two of the most inspiring vids on the internet.
She was so gorgeous and humble back then. Fame and money ruin everything!
