[thegreatavatar23]

Ziana Zain did better than the rest of the singer

[forgottenziana]

@thegreatavatar23 and who is ziana? amateur singer in malaysia? an UNKNOWN MORON? FLOPZIANA

[renatoandjanice]

[fuglybucket]

Mariah!

[DiGilex]

MAAAAKE IT HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!

[ablackguy123456789]

whitney, mariah, christina(she's had better though. ain't no other man? hello!), beyonce, leona, jennifer, aaliyah, fantasia.

[TheMrGreenLight]

Beyonce, Mariah and Whitney, but only Beyoncé and Mariah do not sound like scream.

[platonique]

Runs.. yeeeess. Emotional, powerful... without any effort it is Whitney, then Beyonce. The rest dont count. LoL

[Anime00Freak]

christina, mariah and beyonce were my fav.

[93CenK93]

Of cours BEYONCÈ did you hear the increadble run befour that note !!!

[singtofeel11]

mariah

[zusman84]

Mariah "MAKE IT HAPPEEEEEEN"

[thanos633]

Whitney Houston make it better than the others.THE VOICE FOREVER



[Dboy4100X3]

seeing How Aaliyah was the youngest person in this whole video, she held up pretty well.

[luisboricua9]

Mariah!!!!!

[MrBigcake85]

mariah by a million of time

[noelrocks4eva]

Christina will always be my favorite lol i love that cover of oh mother..it has so much emotion in it and she hit that note beautifully

[MimiIlovU]

Mariah's best C#5 belt is in 1993 thanksgiving

which she sang "Make it Happen"

A sustained chest long note for 8 seconds 

[hyday94]

1) Mariah- So pure and powerful..

2)Beyonce- Amazing vibrato~~

[iiAmitx3]

mariah and whitney, mariah because of power and effortlessness and whitney for PURE POWER!

[MrDTJones1]

whitney. by far. and she sang LIVE. give her some credit. that is why she is THE VOICE.

[EnglishAB1]

Whitney Houston.

She is by far the greatest. People say MC are just devoted fans, who need to accept that petty little Mariah isn't the best singer, far more better whistlers out there.

[biscuitsyeey]

Mariah, Beyonce & Whitney are the best <3

[angie9222]

Jennifer hudson!!!

[hoyauhung]

mariah whitney beyonce<-first class:)

[Stefano94x]

1: Whitney. She has by far the best mid-belt.

2: Mariah and Beyonce. Both were extremely powerful. I find Beyonce's run to be a bit excessive though.

3: Aaliyah. Nice job, she sounded effortless.

Leona was too inconsistent. Jennifer was too throaty. Alicia's larynx was raised to the extreme. Fantasia sounded like shit. Christina was the worst of the bunch.

[mariahphilmrazem]

Mariah wins without a doubt for PRETTIEST belt. hers sounds effortless and perfect. beyonces is also very nice but Mariahs resonates perfectly

[congrats2014]

Mariah!

[Mcvideos92]

The Voice! and Christina

[coobxx2]

x-tina!!!! by far

[RakudaHitomi]

Christina Aguilera :X:X:X

Mariah is incredible but in this video, not really.

[Anime00Freak]

christina for sure !

[ButterflyFlow08]

They all did a wonderful job ^_^

[Benion630]

Christina like for real!!! She sang that note in Oh Mother!!! You can feel the emotion!!! <3

[AnonymousXtinaSinger]

Can SomeOne Please Do A D5 Video

[TheVocalPower]

@AnonymousXtinaSinger

I've done one now!

[imafan123456]

Mariah's sounds the most effortless and best in my opinion :)

[fliedlie2]

I DON'T KNOW, CHRISTINA ALWAYS SOUND GOOD !!! SO I THINK I HAVE TO PICK HER !!

[jakes48162]

Christina hands down, and then Whitney. They are the two best!!!

[geocyrus]

christina..mariah...and jennifer!

[awhallowmyth099]

Christina then Whitney then Mariah then Beyoncé

[pinkswan13]

In my opinion...

This is Mariah Carey and Beyonce

[petervu]

Not C.A, not L.Lewis, not Alicia Keys :) And I prefer Mariah and Whitney

[ArtisticProdigy09]

Mariah is Queen,

Beyonce is the rising understudy

Whitney doesnt count simply because she doesnt even knw what a C#5 is anymore

Leona Lewis(not even concerned)

Christina is amazing but wrong technique and cant sustain

Aaliyah RIP she was always vocally underestimated

[niggahega]

For Me.It's mariah,because her quality of voice is so unique..nobody could sing like mariah does..i dont know why but there's something in her voice that makes you sit back,relax and just listen,,

[pinkmeercatpink]

christina :)

[JimmyJrock]

I place Mariah first because the resonance was so powerful & the clarity, then Whitney & then J-Hud.

[ivennein]

Christina D#6 sounds good and Belted notes in general but in live she sounds Too Warbling for me!!

[mariee621]

christina aguilera and fantasia

[mcboypower]

MARIAHs was perfect lol u cant put these girls next to THE VOICE!

[Devotedlamb19]

#1: Whitney

#2: Mariah

#3: Beyonce

That is all.

[WhitneyElizabethH]

Whitney could have had a much better note here, Mariah wins

[stardusth2o]

1.Mariah

2. Beyonce

3. Leona

4. Whitney

5. Fantasia

6. Jennifer

7. Christina

8. Alicia (that was baaaaaad)

[Martimp7]

CHRISTINA !! she did better C#5 but that was perfect !!

[adamsoul]

mariah by far !!!!and whitney

[initochanchan]

Are you sure all these performnaces are C5s? Mariah's sounds a lot higher than Beyonce's. Plus Mariah does that impeccable C5 while singing that whole song in chest voice!

[Andrebitah]

Queen Mariah!!!

[joshpheonix]

1.Mariah 2.Leona 3.Aaliyah 4.Jennifer 5.Xtina 6.Alicia 7.Whitney 8.Beyonce 9.Fantasia

Well in my opinion Mariah because she had such a strong and full voice while belting and Leona because it sounded so angelic and Aaliyah because it sounded AMAZING.

[mcifami]

Most of you are so asinine, WHITNEY HOUSTON, was, is, and always will be the greatest. You do not know music until you have heard her! She is crisp, clear, strong, and stunning. Voted the best singer in the world, so pipe down unless you think she is the best.

[Wagnerlover777]

@mcifami That is...extremely arrogant. People are allowed to have their own opinions, so shut your freaking trap until you have an opinion that isn't so biased that it would make Hitler blush.

[mcifami]

@Wagnerlover777 Arrogant my ass. Just listen to all of Whitney Houston's songs, they are amazing, if you haven't noticed, people like Beyonce, Christina, Leona, and others all have sung a Whitney Houston song, and they are no where near as good as her, her music is timeless, and thats a fact. I do admire other talents, but honestly, I have found none greater. Biased...wtf?? I was voicing my opinion, why the hell did you even comment on my post anyway??

[Wagnerlover777]

@mcifami Yeah, timeless...except that she kinda lost her high belt as of late. I wonder why (*cough cough*bad technique and strain*cough cough*). When you voice an opinion, it's simply common courtesy NOT to put the other people down by calling them 'asinine'. That, and manners DO tend to matter. Just a hint.

[TheVocalPower]

@Wagnerlover777

Whtney lost her high belt because of the drugs not bad technique.

Whitney's technique is amazing lol

[Wagnerlover777]

@TheVocalPower Well, yes and no...I would say that the drugs CAUSED the bad technique.

[imafan123456]

@TheVocalPower Whitney's technique wasn't bad, however, she belted in her chest voice (rather than with a mixed register) which can cause vocal nodules.

[mcifami]

@Wagnerlover777 I know she has. I wouldn't necessarily blame her bad singing on bad technique in the past, but of the present. Her mother was a singer, and she was in the church choir, where they teach you how to sing. Drugs is what messed her up. She didn't ever warm up properly, I'm sure, and now she is trying to be the "old Whitney" without professional help. I'm just glad she is off of drugs, and she has a daughter to follow in her footsteps. I wish her the best, and much healing.

[TheFear1611]

Kelly Clarkson should be there.

[mommasguy]

From best to worst: 1. Mariah 2. Jennifer 3. xtina 4. whitney 5 Leona 6. Beyonce 7. Alicia 8. Aaliyah 9. Fantasia

[iiAmitx3]

mariah, whitney and beyonce like always!

[wjaniban12]

beyonce ! ALWAYS !!

[crazy2hazy]

I can't decide whether Mariah, Whitney, or Beyonce takes this. Their notes are so clear, powerful, and completely on pitch. Some people insist on grunting the C#5 (Fantasia) and others can't help it (Christina), and others just don't have the control to make it sound as effortless as Bey, MC, or WH.

[zusman84]

Come on Mariah definitely takes the cake

[mirrowsoul]

mariah Carey the best, the one abd only!!!

[09393687221]

Whitney is the best!!!

[Sukramone]

Christina =)

[donutstreet]

Mariah. Definitely.

On a side note, Christina's and Whitney's both exquisite. But most indubitably, Mariah's C#5's are unbeatable, be it delivered during her prime or not.

[MyluvIsUrluv]

no doubt, Whitney Houston

[AAS248441]

Whitney by a mile then Christina and Mariah.

[gotcalcio4]

Why is the sound quality on Whitney's so poor? (Leona's isn't very good quality either) If it were of a higher quality and louder like the rest of them, I think it would sound better.

[musicguy713]

Whitney, Mariah, beyonce, JHud, Christina and Leona

[seanievortex]

Mariah's C#5s are unbeatable.

[lucheechala]

whitney

[DanScot19]

leona x

[hollywoodsinger13]

MARIAH CAREY

[officialmacmillan]

i'm a huge mariah fan, but the first place in case of c5 belts goes to: WHITNEY HOUSTON! This note is her golden power grindin note!

[Fabiuguz]

Bey, Mariah, Christina, Jennifer

[susie8235]

wow.... this is Mariah

[WhitneyElizabethH]

Whitney

[JPhillippeMusic]

Mariah

[ThePianoguy89]

I think a better C#5 could have been picked for Alicia Keys!

[PFOUNT1992]

1)Whitney/Bey(They completely shitted on the rest of them lmao)

2)Mariah

3)Christina

4)Aaliyah/J.Hud

5)Leona

6)Fantasia

7)Alicia(I think she was having a off day though cause that note sounded off 2 me!)

[avm1992]

Mariah Carey

[Raoulirshan]

Mariah and J. Hud!

[65guitargirl]

[edsssooonnn]

mariah and whitney yeahh..

[freakybwoy]

[piterquer]

OMG! WHITNEY is amazing. No one can be compared. The greatest VOICE!

[ivanvoice1]

Mariah!

[ABadSmoothCriminal]

/.\aliyah <33

[iiAmitx3]

wouldn't it be better to use this note by mariah on the thanksgiving special?

[lemonchel0]

Mariah and Whitney

[LifeisMusic07]

Christina, then Whitney, then Bey, then Aaliyah. I thought that was a F#5 from Tasia? You mean the note after that. If so, Tasia ranks up there with them.

[amir7worldwide]

Alicia OffKeys Should not be on this list! I swear she is like the Little Engine that Tries to find the note. She slides from note to note to fide the right one!

[ThePianoguy89]

@amir7worldwide Her name is not Alicia Offkeys, and she derserves to be on the list.

[bajeboi]

i forgot xtina but she is up there 

[SashaxxFierceBackup]

1. Beyonce 2. Whitney 3. Mariah 4. Leona 5. Fantasia 6. everyone else

[ManOfBamboo]

1) Whitney

2) Mariah

3) Beyonce

4) Everyone else?

[hello07601]

Jhuds voice is so thin!!!

[AaliyahDawnTEAM]

lol what is with all the shade on this video!

[bajeboi]

nice to see Aaliyah make an appearance here my list

1) Whitney Houston

2) Mariah

3)Beyonce

4)Leona

5)Aaliyah

6)Jennipher

)Fantasia

8) Alicia Keys

[TheExaltedoneAaliyah]

Wow, At Aaliyah hanging with them, and she was like five lmfao when they singing in their FULL adult voices :) only if aaliyah was here today...

[Dboy4100X3]

This how I rank them

whitney

beyonce

mariah

aaliyah

the rest didnt stand out to me. you coulda picked a better belt from Fantasia

[DAlmond123]

@bconsitt Anybody can come behind a note and be louder. Mariah proved that when she overpowered your girl Whitney on Oprah when they singed When You Believe.

[KyoHanjin]

@bconsitt

JHud's vibrato is so ridiculously uneven

[DAlmond123]

Ok, I'm tired of people thinking their opinion is 100% fact. The truth is that all the women on this video are good singers. Now the exact order you put the notes in is your opinion which isn't a FACT!

[DAlmond123]

@bconsitt Jenn let Bey shine that time. Jenn has the Oscar for the role. And Bey? I thought so.

[DAlmond123]

@bconsitt Stfu, you mad? But I mean it really doesn't matter. Whitney just happened to have a bad day that day.

[agiftfromvirgo21]

I love me some Bee. But Whitney shitted on everyone lol!! hands down WHITNEY!

[Chimier]

@bconsitt Not just that, but he's confusing clip volume with vocal power. How sad. And yeah, he's mad that J-Hud's sucked. Offkey, crappy support. Whitney? Not so much.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Jenn's note on this video wasn't off-key. Accept failure and move on!

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Oooh, yes it was. It wasn't centered. Try again.

Explain what resonance is again.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Resonance amplifies the sound from your vocal chords so the singer can project with their voice, in this case it was Jenn not Whitney. I had to shove my headphones down my ear just to hear that pathetic note from Whitney. We know she does better. Man, those bad days will get her.

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 LOL is that it? That's all you can say? #FAIL

Next!

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier You ran out of things to say you had to copy a #FAIL symbol? Get a clue, the note was NOT resonant. Point. Blank. Period. Can I assist you in facing reality anymore? I dislike delusional Whitney fans these days. The thing is she couldn't do it then and most certainly not now. Accept defeat and move on!

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Oooh, the note WAS resonant. You were confusing clip volume and quality with resonance. You need to get new years, seriously.

Whitney slays your fav. That's the way it is.

If all you can tell me about resonance is what it does, you aren't in a position to talk to me about it or decide what's resonant. Sit.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier CORRECTION: Whitney COULD have slayed my fav if she would have stayed off the crack pipe. Stop smoking Whitney's crack and maybe you'll soon learn that. Some people were dropped as a baby, but you were clearly thrown at a wall. Since you know so much about resonance, what is IT then?

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Whitney still is slaying your fav. Your fav is so bad she has to copy Whitney when singing her songs. We call that karaoke here, not artistry.

Resonance is the amplification of sound ABOVE the vocal cords, depending on breath support and placement, in various cavities, namely the pharynx, mouth, nose, face (mask) and head.

Whitney's, as usual, was placed in the mask, which is the anchor of the voice. The most forward, round, perfectly centered sound. Oops!

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Jenn's intention wasn't to make another song but to give respect to one of the women that paved the way for her. Lol at you googling the definition of resonance. You haven't told me what it can do.

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 LOL you can still give respect without doing a karaoke version.

Googling the definition? No, I just know it. Try again.

You already said what it could do, well...sorta. You forgot, no sorry, you didn't know that the projection part of resonance, in fact, resonance in general, depends on proper breath support, which is what I said in my post. Next!

[XxSomeonePersonXX]

@Chimier 1 Q ... How can resonance be judged when they are singing from MICS ?? I mean the mic could be Loud and WOOOW SUCH AMAZING Resonance .. Like With Christina she hits a note and pulls the Mic far away and people think such a powerful voice .. at the same time sum1 could hit a high note in Falsetoo and add Vibrato to it then it also seems they have amazing resonance .. LOL So really confusing !!

[Chimier]

@XxSomeonePersonXX Because resonance and mic amplification are not the same thing.

[XxSomeonePersonXX]

@Chimier So then how can you tell the difference ? :D

BTW Appreciatee ur replyyy <3

[Chimier]

@XxSomeonePersonXX Well, resonance is a "ringing" sound. Mic amplification just makes something louder. For instance, a throaty, strained belt has no resonance, but with a mic, it can be heard.

[XxSomeonePersonXX]

@Chimier Right and make the illusion of it being powerful? .. Like with Christina's E5 Belts in A Song for u .. she held the Mic so far awaay .

So Loudness and resonance have nothing to do with each other ??

As in the louder a sound, the more resonant it is

[Chimier]

@XxSomeonePersonXX Yes, it creates an illusion.

In some singers, the louder they get, the more resonant they get. That's because their voices blooms. Other singers, however, might get louder, but are doing it through pushing and forcing, thus no ring.

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 "The thing is she couldn't do it then and most certainly not now"- LOL sit down! Get back to me when you:

a) get new ears

b) learn what resonance actually is other than the basic explanation

c) learn about vocal technique, registration, breath support, tone color, vocal fach, placement, appoggio, bel canto etc.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Those terms are good to learn but actually you should ask Whitney to learn more about them. She is THE VOICE, right?

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 She knows them perfectly. J-Hud, with her thin, labored screaming, not so much.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier As usual, you're stuck in Jenn's Dreamgirls days. She slays any singer out now. Her recent performances speak for itself. People pay to hear that "screaming" so I mean your opinion is not hurting her at all. She still gets to the $!

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Nope. She may have gained more control, but she's still shouty and thin. Ain't my fault.

Don't care about money. Madonna and Britney get money to lipsynch and strip onstage, WAY more than J-Hud does. So??

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier The thing is all the singers have more than you, so why worry about it? You defending them won't help or hurt their careers. But like you said she has gained more control and will only get better from here. It's not MY fault she is a natural church singer.

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 LOL what a copout! All the singers have more than me? Proof? Of course not.

And she's still a sucky musician regardless. Lack of taste and musical understanding.

Natural church singer? Whatever. Natural good singer? Hell no.

[shootforthemoon89]

@DAlmond123

Do you think Jenn is similar to Flo?  both are great singers but neither voices are adaptive.

[DAlmond123]

@shootforthemoon89 Who Flo?

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 LOL if you know what resonance is, then you should at least know half those terms. But of course you don't. I wonder...no, I know why. NEXT!

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Who said I didn't? #FAIL as usual! Go hibernate and crawl in your cave along with bconSHIT!

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Then tell me about appoggio, bel canto, vocal registration, tone color and proper breath support. Go on, I dare you.

[DAlmond123]

@Chimier Sorry, I don't have the time. I phoned Whitney neither does she! Ha!

[Chimier]

@DAlmond123 Not only do you not have the time (excuse), you don't have the brain (reason).

LOL you fail so badly at even being remotely witty. Don't try again, you'll just fail even harder.
