The Vocal Trinity Deep Dive (Vocals) 

Mariah is such a hard worker, in 32 years of her career, there's like 2 years where she rested and didn't release so many things. And she participates in basically every step of the process to create her music and I truly admire her for that. Whitney's head voice is just perfect, she can be loud, soft, operatic. It's my hv favorite of all time.

@@confidentriah3406 periodt

Not to mention the amount of effort she puts into remixing her songs, which truly showcases her artistry! She really deserves all her flowers

@@branwyw this!! she is probably one of the only artists who re-records her vocals (backgrounds and all) for the remixes. a lot of artists just put a club mix on top of the original song and call it a remix.

Well tbh mariah has the best agility but in terms of powerful vocals and vibrato i would say its whitney. But NO ONE beats mariah in agility

Perfectly said. 💯👌🏽

She’s lost her tone. Her recent performance (Global Citizen) was a letdown. After hearing her say “my voice is rested. I got it back” during the pandemic, only to hear her sound the way she did, a few days ago, it’s over. I thought she sounded good, during the Caution tour, for modern day, Mariah. She recently said it damaged her voice. If not touring and sitting at home, for two years, didn’t help, it’s over. 😔

@@spongebob03 and still she's alive, well, and still performing and has an upcoming album and projects for her fans. It's not really an issue for us.

Yessss

@@rhaenyraitargaryen6360 I grew up in the 90’s. Mariah, along with, Whitney, Michael, Prince, Aaliyah and Janet, were my favorites. So I get your comment. She a legend, that has survived, a lot. So let her rock. But I still can’t help but feel disappointed. I was looking forward to the Butterfly Lounge, footage and everything.

Queen. ❤❤

Her voice has definitely aged the best hands down.

@Joshua Herleg yah.

@Joshua Herleg Yes

@Joshua Herleg But it lasted longer than celine and mariah TOGETHER, Almost 30 years With an almost impeccable voice

I agree, Whitney is phenomenal live...but Céline is no less. They both are imo better live singers than in the studio

I agree, Whitney "channels" her songs, especially the gospel ones, she doesn't merely sing them. Her live performances of "I Love the Lord" are a great example, absolutely spine tingling and close to transcending into another realm. Very few others can do that.

Stop belittle Mariah always with the same ridiculous arguments when you clearly haven't seen Mariah's great live performances, if you need suggestions I am available. I know very well whitney unlike you, I know her live performances very well. , her songs are much easier, she use talk-singing a lot , she changes the tempo of the songs to simplify them and dodge the high-notes by improvising runs mostly in headvoice, her fans see the fact that she never sings a song the same way twice as "interpretation" and as "sing songs better than the studio version " but in reality Whitney can't do most of her studio vocal deliveries justice, on stage. She simply can't sing her sustain her belts as long as in studio . As for Celine, she should not even in the discussion , as her thing is just showing off stamina on sustaining long notes lol there's no artisty, no creativity, no musicianship, no musicality, just loudness and stamina lol her songs are the simplest out of the vocal trinity, having just loud vocals and sustained belts as standout vocals lol 😂😂🤣 There's no sophisticated vocal arrangements nor vocal layers/ harmonies. Vocally Mariah wins hands down, she is much more complete, interesting and creative and artistically they are not even comparable . You cannot be the GOAT if you are just an interpreter ( yet a mediocre one ) and cover singer lol a cover singer will NEVER BE at the same level of an incomparable artist : songwriter, producer, composer, innovator and musical genius like Mariah Carey, that's why Mariah Carey totally outshined her competitors and Celine in 90s who went to ask her label for help in gaining some relevance in the music industry with blockbuster movies and recycled past hits

I always felt Celine delivers live, equal or better to the studio version, and Whitney never delivered live 😬

@@danielbenitez6985 Now not too much on Whitney. Her vocal decline is more like a plane free-falling to an eventual catastrophic crash but during her prime, she can PERFORM circles around Celine.

@@THE.VOICE.WITHIN Mariah still shines. Just not the way she used to. If you're talking about the vocals though, I'd have to agree with that. But, she still makes good music. After all, she never regarded herself as a singer first. No need to bring another woman down to up the other. Mariah's still alive, let's appreciate her while she's still with us 👍

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAYYY

Here you are putting them against each other when this video was doing the OPPOSITE. Calm down crazed Whitney fan.

Streisand is a way better singer!

@@ceegarcia3399 Streisand is incredible! She may be a better overall singer, but Whitney's tone and rawness was something indescribable. Shirley Bassey and Donna Summer, are perhaps, the only two others singers who made it big that I know of that come close. Of course, Phyllis Hyman, Rachelle Ferrell, Wendy Moten, Claudia Carenzio and Lisa Fischer possessed that same gift and ability, but they are rather unknown talents to the masses.

@@philhenderson3516 Streisand is by no means a better vocalist. There is definitely a lack of depth and emotion in her sound. And I love her but no.

I like that you referenced the Charmed Ones haha. It's one of my favourite US TV shows ever

I think Tori Kelly, Morisette Amon, Ariana Grande and Faouzia are the only singers (of my generation at least who I can think off the top of my head) who are known at least as much ( if not more) of their vocals than their songs. But all three of them are slept on hard…

@@vladimirpereira2009 Aaahhh same here; Charmed & Buffy are probably my fave shows of all time (so far). If Whitney, Mariah & Celine are Prue, Piper & Phoebe, then Lara Fabian is Paige 😏

@@GarageStudio7 I also like that you categorized Mariah as Piper because she became to be the fiercest, most magically formidable sister (due to her explosive power). And also I agree Lara Fabian being Paige seeing you likened Whitney to be Prue who sadly got killed even though she's the most badass sister since the beginning.

@@Roguenight863 The Vocal Trinity were not just amazing singers, but also very commercially dominant in the late 80s to late 90s. Taylor Dayne and Toni Braxton could easily be counted as peers of the Trinity in terms of vocal skill and talent, but they never managed to have the longlasting commercial dominance that the Trinity achieved.

Thank you that would be Celine Dion

@@unitystar2892 No that's Whitney.

@@marieljackman1850 she literally IS technical tho, literally considered the best vocalist of all time by MANY vocal coaches and other vocalists themselves

@@marieljackman1850 You clearly are so uneducated on Mariah. Any vocal coach will tell you how technical she is. Shes part of the vocal trinity for a reason. She has some of the hardest song’s to ever be sung. She has some of the best agility of any singer ever. Her ability to go from a low note as a A2 to as high as a Bb7 in mere seconds is almost otherworldly. No “Average” singer could do that.

@@marieljackman1850 Her catalogue is very versatile imo. It changes a lot from 1990-1999.

Did you finish? The video's been up for 7 mins and it's 25 mins long lol

@@Sloppyjoey1 Just finished now. I usually check each section of the video, give it an overview then comment my initial opinions before fully watching it 😂

I wholeheartedly agree! 🎯

@@GarageStudio7 ♥️

Ummm, I don't think Celine is on the same level as Whitney... I'm sorry, this isn't a tie

Oh yeah i 100% wholeheartedly agree with you, despite being discredited and minimised by the kpopvocalanalysis, Celine is one of the best classical and theater based pop vocalists in history, her voice just fulfills any vocal aspect, technically she's a beast and i can't think of any other contemporary singer who has her incredible ability to motive and serve, she has the true ring and chest voice of a real vocalist, i mean a pure opera and theater singer, not every theather/opera can sing popular music as well as she does while she can do both, she has this huge consistency in both of her belting and mixed register, healthy, grounded and balanced, a connected and full lower register, amazingly developed head voice fully operatic, incredible accuracy of melismas/dynamics, and such sense of proper vocal agility, she's an agile and versatile vocalist, that alone explains why the woman is an enigmatic performer as well, the center of the stage is her voice and as she can do many things with it both technically and artistically makes her the most vocally centered out of them 3 on stage and in off stage too, i do think Whitney and Mariah have some great/incredible abilities as well like Whitney's head voice/power and Mariah's whistle register/agility, i still think other things they can do Celine can do it just as well and with much more consistency, and that's something i won't discuss cause i know it's true from a vocal pedagogy standpoint, and of course with the amount of miseducation that flows in youtube's beat, i won't be wasting my time with biased/uneducated people either. Loved your comment, keep on spreading the truth!.

All three of these ladies have tip top technique for pop singing. The difference is not the technique, it's more health and wellness for vocal preservation. Celine, of all the three, has lived the healthiest life to say the least.

@@vocaltechniquezone1267 And add that the fact that the woman can sing in different languages and can attach her voice to any kind of vocal performance as she has worked with several vocal teachers throughout her life, i believe that she does have some superiority over the other two vocally however Mariah's creativity, wit and knowledge of music composition makes her the superior musician which is a shame cause i'm pretty sure if Celine wouldn't have ever been directed by her lifetime team she would have been the writer/producer of every of her songs or would have at least at larger part of the creative proccess of her music, she has written several songs however people never recognize them or praise her for that cause the claim of "doesn' t write her own music" has always been attached to her, i'm not discrediting her team in anyway, they are amazing musicians who only wanted the best in her career, but they directed her in a way she felt she didn't need to and only have to care for her vocal prowess, they pressured her to be the best vocalist instead of the best artist, and its understandable her voice has always been the spotlight of her career, specially around the time of her peek/prime, Celine's music is also the least commercial around the three, of course her music have always been successful but why i mean is that her sound is not what usually catches the charts in the popular music area, while Mariah evolutioned, Whitney didn't, Celine has tried few times but nothing to extreme in the sound of her music, i believe Celine deserves her props and to be recognized for her vocals the most cause she worked her entire life to be it, and then you're telling me these uneducated stans come to discredit her and put her under Mariah and Whitney who have been both abusing of their gift with alcohol/drugs most of their lives? It's just sad.

Well said.

@@robertreed9818 Very well said, they are all technically great in different ways. What Celine had over them was actually taking care of her voice ie. Resting her voice when she should, not partaking in lifestyle habits that ruin the voice, adapting her technique as she aged eg. Mixing with a lighter approach as she aged etc.

Mariah is the best among the trinity. As per billboard, her networth reached 900 million as of 2022. According to their recent number. Music box already sold 98 million pure copies. How much more if she updates it. RIAA named Mariah as the most certified female in the US with 80million album sold and based on the recent investigation AIWFCIY already is the best selling single of all time. So MHWGO and IWALY can’t catch up. Mariah is the epitome, the standard, Céline who? Madonna who and Whitney who? Finally because of these Mariah’s recent achievements she now holds the record as the most successful female artist of all time and that lambs are no longer threatened with these women. Mariah is the total package.

@LambilyXDaydream she sold 98 million. She’s the queen.

So true

Mariah = Zeus, Whitney = Hades, Celine = Poseidon. 😄

@Joshua Herleg Mariah's a lower set Soprano compared to Céline. Mariah just added nasality and brightened her voice in 1995. Listen to her in her debut

I think she was very much a soprano early on, but a mezzo later (like mid to late Nineties and onward later). She sang pretty regularly in the fifth octave early on but much less so and much less capably in her later years; her timbre was also weightier by then.

@@gillianomotoso328 I agree. I've stated to others that the "Whitney" most of us know (Bodyguard era) was a Mezzo by then. However I tend to feel that people oversimplify the relationship between vocal weight and vocal pitch. I've noticed that a lot of people inaccurately classify African American voices based on "size" even if we sing MUCH higher. Jhud & Aretha come to mind. Jhud & Aretha can belt an entire Octave over Taylor Swift and still people will call them "Mezzo" and call Taylor a "Soprano" lol

@@gillianomotoso328 She was never a mezzo. She just becamed a damaged soprano. She smoked crack/cocaine, that fucked her up badly. But she was never a mezzo.

@@Sloppyjoey1 There are different ways of typing voices though. Also, a dramatic soprano is often equivalent in sound to a mezzo pushed upward. You are right though that African American voices (namely female ones) tend to be fuller, even huskier than white voices, and thus are often typed as lower than they are. When a heavy voice is raised upward in pitch though, it may stay very thick while still gaining comfort as it elevates in pitch.

@@Sloppyjoey1 In the case of Taylor Swift she is a lyric soprano imo due to her girlish timbre, mild vocal weight, and brightening sound as she ascends, but I could see why context would label her a mezzo because as far as tessitura, she sings as one, often going as low as C3-E3 and seldom higher than D5-F5. As far as operatically, her voice would definitely translate to soprano, but must her voice be considered in that way, especially being that she hasn’t sung beyond A5 from what I can tell, nor any operatic arias?

Agree!!! I feel like all of their voices are equally impressive, and it really just comes down to people's personal preference. People who prefer pure, raw vocals go Whitney. People who prefer artistic arrangements and intricacies prefer Mariah. People who prefer flawless live vocals go Celine.

@The Reritee Joni Mitchele is the greatest lyrcisist, maybe. But her melodies and harmonies and compositions are extremely flat and boring. Mariahs far more diverse.

@The Reritee Joni Mitchell best female artist ever ?? No, she lacks too much on the singing aspect alone, compared to Mariah. And all the others you've cited don't have Mariah's completeness as full package star rated vocalist + excellent songwriter + great producer

Quite a bit of inaccuracies in the video. Her instrument is about the same size as Whitney. They just sang very differently. Also, both of they timbres were naturally brighter than Mariah's. Why do people still insists that Whitney had this big, dark, heavier set voice? It's clear as day to my ears she was a very high and bright soprano.

@@thiagoviana9644 Yep Whitney was a higher set Soprano, even higher set than Mariah who people claim is a coloratura Soprano for some reason. Mariah's voice was the lowest set out of all 3. She just brightened her voice and added nasality in her prime (Daydream).

I think Celine from 90s does even have more depth and power than 80s Whitney. If she was a mezzo her voice should be close as depth as Whitney. but Whitney 90s is the darkest and one of the darkest voices in music history.

@@las28314 I disagree, Whitney had more depth as she darkened her voice in the late 80s. Céline had more depth in the 80s and even 2000s. 90s was a mixture of light and heavy, her voice fluctuated alot during that decade.

@@tripfoumi7402 you must be a racists to poke fun of French Canadian people and their nasal approach to their singing , shit these people should be wiped out from existence a single rotten apple can spoil the entire apple .

oh no dahling i agree with mariah but i dont think you know whitney really much, coming from both fans of them

Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about

Céline still sounds spectacular and powerful after all these years. Mariah’s voice has diminished the way Whitney’s did. Sadly. Going to see Céline is still an incredible experience. Like Barbra Streisand. The chance to see Mariah is gone. She was fantastic in the 90’s but it’s just not the same.

How is a lip-syncer unmatched, make it make sense

@@popinsider450 Celine is a basic 3 octave ranged and nasal A+ rated vocalist, lol Mariah is a top tier vocalists being star rated by experts, and dubbed as the music industry's Songbird Supreme. Céline wish she was up there. What you call " spectacular" about Celine is her granny voice belting and sustaining 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 That's not spectacular. Gifted singers don't even have to scream to sound interesting. Can Celine be vocally interesting and exciting in songs with no belt and no sustaining 😂🤣😂? Hell no.

liar

zzz

I also feel like Mariah naturally has the smallest voice. Even in her debut when the label was trying to mold her for a Whitney-esque sound, she would still sound small and quite bright.

@@GarageStudio7 yesss, like I have never heard her do like a big booming chest belt like Celine or Whitney.

@@badbitch3821 Even when she's resonant and using a heavier coordination ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWrhwlGSHtc.htmlm53s It's still not as beefy. I even hear this in other parts of their voices. Even when Mariah is not manipulating her lows to sound huskier, Celine naturally sounds heavier. Whitney as well. Even though Mariah's head voice is not as great as Whitney's and Celine's, I can hear that it would still sound lighter if it was.

@@GarageStudio7 yeah even when you can tell she is doing louder vocals in her voice when Celine or Whitney do them they sound a lot beefier.

I agree with you partially because technically they were all the complete package. Mariah will always have fans of varying generations because her catalog is the most diverse. She explored and blended a wide range of genres, and she makes quality records that stand the test of time...they always sound fresh (except for some ballads - you can tell they're throwbacks). Her artistry is second to none.

true. Mariah is the most perfect package singer of all time imo.

Glad to hear that! Have a great day!

She's an artist DAHling.

Shes such a gifted writer.

not even ‘most’ … literally ALL of her songs she’s written / produces except for covers

Period.

@@ARlANACAREY Nah, there are some songs (mainly early in her career) where she only changed the melody a bit and didn't do much beyond that. "If It's Over" is one of those songs. Mainly written by Carole King and produced by Walter Afanasieff

Nothing but facts

Finally someone doesn't overrate mariah to the point of delusion. Whitney will always be The One and Only Queen of Voice. Celine is also better and more interesting than Mariah IMHO

@@irina1296 exactly!!!!

@@irina1296 So to you when someone prefers Mariah, which happens to have more fans, tends to be delusional??? but when someone prefers your favorite Whitney or Celine, it's not delusional??? that kinda way of thinking is called what exactly? I let you describe your sh*tty point of view.

You said it perfectly. Whitney is her prime is probably the greatest pop soul voice in mainstream music we ever heard. She had it all, Power, control, riffs, you name it. Celine has maintained her voice very well, not as amazing as Whitney in her prime but very powerful. Mariah was good in the early mid 90s but for live performances it did not last long at all. Ever since 1998 she's been more of a studio vocalist, whenever she has to perform live her fans have another excuse how she was ill, it was cold, she was nervous, stressed. I have not seen a good Mariah live performance in about 20 years, her most recent Global Citizens one was underwhelming to say the least. She sounds good in the studio but to me she was never in the same league as Whitney. Also not in celine's. You can tell by their touring stats as well that many people think so. She was great for a short while in the early 90s though, don't know what went wrong after that, she was still so young but it all went wrong in the late 90s.

The biggest Selling Female singer: Madonna will always be first, she is the Queen of pop music. Celine in second place she is the Queen of power ballad music. and Rihanna in third, she will always be the Queen of RnB music. and MiMi,.. probably in position 20 or 25. as the best-selling female singer

@@The_Okavango.Delta. no one is talking abt that

@@The_Okavango.Delta.no one cares about sales Its about how good ur music is and mariah has 19 number ones the most of any other individual artist has.

Doesn’t make her the better vocalist.

@@popinsider450 Literally! Why are so many lambs bringing up artistry when the video is about vocals 💀 Imo it's to deal with the fact that Mariah's is vocally weaker than Céline and Whitney live.

@@celiniac Nope. Mariah is vocally stronger and more skilled than Whitney and Celine live. Her live songs are beyond Céline's and Whitney's capabilities in studio , let alone live

@@tripfoumi8516 False. Her headvoice is weak, she barely has a mix and her lows aren't as good as Célines. Her belts are good, but even then it's inconsistent. Before you rant to me with your bs (which I know you are). Listen to her undubbed. Especially in MTV Undubbed. Have a nice day weirdo

@@tripfoumi8516 actually in all there primes Whitney was the most consistent singer so nice try 😂

Thats all gained from her impeccable skill, hence he said “NATURALLY” small

@@angelxemotions9102 But she wasn't naturally small, that's what I'm saying, even at her first years!!

@@tasosGRvocals Yeah, Celine was naturally big in voice and resonance. Her childhood videos proves it. Ion know what he talmbout.

@@tasosGRvocals thats because of her techinque and skill as ive said lol

@@angelxemotions9102 And we have debunked it saying that before she developed her technique and skill her voice was still big and piercing lol
