Mariah Carey

In My Opinion, Mariah Carey is a timeless singer, who got her start and fame in the 1990s, but is somewhat underestimated in the new decade, and by the generation. My goal is to remind my generation what a talent artist Mariah Carey really is.

*200 Million Albums, Singles, and Albums sold worldwide
*1 of 2 known R&B artist to reach the Whistle Register(Seen Below) with her voice
*Possesses a 5-Octave Vocal Range

*The 1st recording artist to have her 1st 5 singles in the Billboard Top 100 Chart

Are just a few facts named of the artist. Mariah Carey.

I could go on for days about her legacy, but decided to share some oldies, but goodies.

Mariah Carey is best known for her use of the Whistle Register, which is the highest note that can be hit by a human being on record. (Minnie Ripperton is also known for her use of the Whistle Register.) Which can be heard in her song, Emotions (seen below) Her vocal range is very wide, from bottom Alto to Coloratura Soprano.
Whistle Register can be heard at 2:48 and 3:47



Mariah's FIRST Single was Vision of Love which is what Beyonce' Knowles credits for her practicing runs as a child. (An example of such runs can be heard at 2:50)


Mariah's rendition of "All I Want for Christmas is You" was the only holiday single and ringtone to reach platinum status.

HERE ARE SOME PERSONAL FAVORITES OF MINE:


A soft, slow ballad called "My All"

"Butterfly" is a song w/ the message of letting go.

The popular song "Hero"

MY FAVORITE song off of the "Butterfly" Album-"Babydoll"

"One Sweet Day" ft. Boyz II Men- a song for loved ones lost.
