It's the wrong song feature. She could have duet boy is mine or Bye or Don't break with me again and other songs and she decided this song that tje lambs ignored.
If you watched Ariana’s interview with Zach sang she expressed she had them mix Mariah’s vocals as loud as possible. So that’s what Ariana wanted as having a Mariah feature
Here's the thing, Mariah's voice will always be naturally more mature, grittier, heftier, and louder than Ariana's because that's the way her voice is. The same way Ariana's younger voice is softer, more fluid, and smoother. What went wrong with the original remix is that Ariana specifically told the producers to make Mariah's already strongly projected vocal even more prominent, creating an unbalanced mix and uneven contrast with Ari's more relaxed vocal of in the original released version and the remix. This is my issue with "remixes" in general these days. They are lazy - basically just the same song with a sung or rapped verse and random ad libs here and there added in, with minimal to no tweaks in the instrumental. Mariah came from an era where she deliberately re-sung her vocals differently in her remixes to breathe new life into the song and distance it from the original. It would have been ideal for Ari to have re-sung her vocals to match Mariah's conviction to make this the powerhouse duet that everyone expected it to be. I'm not placing the blame on her, though. Her producers, being the sound experts that they are, should also have pushed for this idea, or at least done the remix in such a way that makes both vocalists sound good together.
@@maxfenby7228 her contributions weren't bad. Ariana said it herself - she gave Mariah full rein to do whatever she wanted, which is why what ended up on the record was Mariah's take on what the song meant to her personally. It just wasn't to the taste of some Ariana fans, who are used to her soft, smooth, and controlled cooing. When you ask a 90's diva to be on a 2020s house record and give her full control of her input, you don't fault her for giving a powerhouse performance. It's Ari's song. She's a hands on producer herself. If she didn't like a part, she wouldn't keep it in. If they upped the volume of Ariana's vocal to match Mariah's, the contrast between the texture and loudness of their vocals would have become less pronounced and the mix would come across more as the diva-off everyone was expecting it to be.
i can tell you are a respectful fan of Mariah and Ariana from this video. your attempt to salvage this song is quite well done 👍🏻 great job! more people should be like you, thank you
Mariah doing the upper harmony isn't the problem. the problem is that they didn't mix their volume properly to match ari. It's just "arianagrande_yes_and.mp3" over Mariah's new vocals
@@maxfenby7228 y'all will say that with any singer who has strong, powerful vocals smh. If whitney was alive, or celine was the feature, same reactions 🙄 this new generation is the reason vocalists are fading out
@@mirageangelica5495 exactly. That's what this generation doesn't understand. Mariah is part of the vocal trinity of the 90s. She was and still is known for her powerhouse vocals. The argument of "not sounding good" is completely invalidated by the fact that "sounding good" is up to personal preference. These 90s divas grew up listening to Aretha, Patti, Tina, etc. who riffed, scatted, and ad-libbed based on how the song made them feel - a practice that seems to be lost on the younger generation of singers today.
