Don’t call it a comeback, “it’s” been here for years!
Yesterday Mariah Carey‘s performance of ‘Shake It Off’ didn’t quite satisfy the naysayers who didn’t buy ‘MCIIY’ falsely believe the diva’s iconic vocals are nothing more than a distant memory of yesteryear’s prime.
However, it’s safe to say that her recent performances of ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Always Be My Baby’ have led her “Lambs” to the promise land of reassurance in their favorite singer’s set of golden pipes.
Watch the mother of two remind doubters why she’s considered ‘The Voice’ on the other side of the same coin shared with Whitney Houston after the jump.
Pregnancy and a more than lengthy break from alcohol has done wonders for Carey’s 5 octave voice! Following the birth of ‘Roc and Roe‘, the diva’s voice has been nothing less than stellar. An improvement she’s clearly aware of as her default vocal technique is usually a lot more routine and subdued compared to the livelier – off the cuff- approach she implored at Gotham Hall (March 1st).
What’s uniquely interesting about the chart-topper is her constantly evolving instrument, which undergoes subtle yet ever-present differences with each new era. It’s her intuitive know-how that allows her to bob & weave through a song’s melodic blueprint and pick up the slack where others may [vocally] fall short that distinguishes her from the rest. Whether or not a chest belt is sustained or her high notes pierce the stratosphere–it’s just the tip of the iceberg of what this self-proclaimed “vocal technician” is capable of.
