      D 03 Lisa’s transitions are better, more polished than Mariah’s simply because Lisa is trained whilst Mariah is not.

    • @uiteren2845
      @uiteren2845 5 років тому +82

      D 03 It isn’t as flawless as you think. Whistles are a disconnected register and when you transition from (ex. Chest to Whistle vice versa) you will always hear a vocal break because of the vocal folds. In Head Voice, Mariah also has this issue (all singers have vocal break when transitioning) that the vocal break is always evident. Lisa however, doesn’t have an evident vocal break. That’s why you only hear clean sound because vocal breaks are the sliding of the chest upward until you can utilize Head Voice (Mariah always has this issue so she always pauses before she goes into HV). That’s why you see Mariah preferring to just do descending runs from HV to chest. Lisa, Beyonce, Whitney, SoHyang are all better than Mariah in terms of transitioning

    This is a master class. The seamless transitions, range, pronunciation, control, and stage presence without doing too much.

This is a legendary performance that should be in the National Museum of African American Music, if it’s not already there. A moment like this MUST live on.

    This is by far the greatest R&B vocal performance I have ever seen. I make all of my vocal students sit and watch this performance and we analyze what she is doing physically and mentally to crush this song. She is in complete control of her instrument to the point that she can remain physically calm, poised and focused throughout the entire performance. She makes it look easy when in fact it is far from it. There are no twitches or unnecessary movements of the head, neck or jaw. Notice that she rarely moves further than a few inches from the microphone even when she is belting. This is because she has mastered breath control and knows exactly how much air to use in order to sing consistently throughout her entire range without yelling or pushing. She lets the microphone and PA do a lot of the heavy lifting. Her restraint is remarkable with no unnecessary runs or acrobatics. She is not afraid to leave space for the song to breathe with her. The diction is perfect. The high notes are beautiful and full of resonance (she is not squeaking) and she loses no control when running licks up there. This kind of control is the result of years and years of training and practice. It was muscle memory and she knew exactly what was going to come out of her mouth the entire time. She is magical. She is an inspiration.

    1. I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!! WE CAN LITERALLY DO ANYTHING! This video is case and point.
    2. She was SANGING! This was so powerful, yet so angelic!
    3. This was the best live performance I've heard in my LIFE! I aspire to have this much vocal flexibility, agility, power, and range! She has set the bar for me!

    That girl can sang!!!! With the backing of Luther Vandros (she was his long time back up singer) and her amazing voice, she could've easily been as big as Whitney, but she said she didn't want superstardom, she just wanted to sing. After a few hits and a Grammy she returned to doing back up singing for other artists. Luther toured with Envogue but kept pissing the ladies off by reminding them that his back up singer could blow them all away. I can't disagree with Luther, Envogue can sing, no doubt but Lisa is in another league.

    I went to elementary, JHS school and grew up in the same hood with this sister. Incredible shy the kids would tease her miserable. If they said boo she would flinch.💯
    We had assembly back in the day. There we would be entertained by outside guest. We even had the first Black woman who ran for president Shirley Chisholm come to our assembly.
    Our 6 grade teacher Ms. Rifkin kept telling us to lineup to go to assembly in our auditorium. We children just talking and chatting away. Line up, we kept talking💯
    The teacher asked if anyone had any talent they could perform at the assembly. We knew our piano players, tap dancers. Lisa said I can sing. You could hear a pin drop. We were knocking each other over to get on line then 😂,
    no way in ….
    Lisa took the stage, we were nervous for her, surely she would get stage fright and start crying.
    Nope she turned it out with To dream the impossible dream and the rest is history‼️

After Lisa became..I would meet M in the neighborhood, and she was so remorseful about how she treated Lisa. I mean M was so tormented about it. M wanted a chance to apologize. I didn’t know how bad she bullied Lisa. I said M you use to….and M said yeah I made her miserable and I want to apologize.
      I said you will, you will see Lisa again. We talking years ‼️ One summer Lisa did an outdoor summer jam show at metro tech in Brooklyn, NY walking distance from where it all began. I was there with M even though we came separately. After Lisa performed M went up to her and apologized and they. both cried💯
      I said Lisa you remember me, lol I said Lisa you remember me C. She said no. She said I have met so many people over the years…. We were adults now, as a matter of fact, Lisa was doing her own thing at this time. I guess I could have jarred her memory and she would have remembered but….❤️
