Mariah Carey -Vocal Profile/ Range

mariah carey singing
Vocal Type: Alto
Vocal Range: 5 octaves. G2- G7
Whistle register: Yes
Longest Note: 20 seconds - 'Lead The Way'
Vocal Pluses: Vocal dynamics are second to none: able to go from a crystal clear, high octave belt to an airy whisper within the space of a word. Has gorgeous low and high notes that are complimented by an uncanny ability to pitch an exact note without the need of vocal runs. When Vocal runs are utilised by the singer they are incredibly accurate and always sympathetic to the song's key signature, tempo and style, thus giving her the moniker the "Queen of melisma". Technically a brilliant singer.
Vocal Negatives: Voice lacks an emotional connection to the song, also as she's aged higher belted notes- above a C5- have become courser and harder to maintain for extended periods of time.
