  • I have no words :O

  • 0:44 she look goofy

  • She has an AMAZING voice, but whoever she consults for fashion should be FIRED! Amazing vocalist tho!

  • Those notes could break glass in a good way!

  • Are we REALLY comparing Mariah to Rachrelle just cause Mariah can hit a note that she can;t even hit today!?????? Give me a fucking break! Rachelle is a vocal prodigy period! Mariah and Rachelle will never be in the same universe together! Mariah can learn from this woman

  • me duelesn los oidos de tanto ruiido

  • For people who is comparing Rachelle and Mariah. There is a huge difference between Mariah's obviously Pop & R&B style and Rachelle's Classic Soul. Mariah is also an aesthetic singer and more technical than expressing emotion. Rachelle has a lot of emotion since soul music is that. When it comes to whistle? MARIAH, why? She can create melody. She layers them with her background vocals, and she can make words and create on pitch melismas. Rachelle just makes the sound without any melody.

  • @rocknox I couldn't agree with you more. Some people think they're being cool or original by heaping praise on Rachelle over Mariah as she's the lesser known but the fact is Mariah is technically a far superior singer than Rachelle. They can both do amazing things with their voices but Mariah is still, to this day, the best pop soprano there has ever been in recording history it's just a shame her material lately is pretty crap and she has lost the charisma she had when younger.

  • @TheChaChaka Yeah, Mariah's recent material comes off as arrogant, but shes still a talented composer. My issue w/ the comparison is that u can hear the cracks & breaks in Rachelles voice when she hits it. They are just sustained notes, no melody. Mariah has often hit whistle just by speaking. I an old interview, she once exclaimed What?! and it was in whistle. It's part of her natural voice. It's like Rachelle woke up 1 day & found she could make that sound. Still a great soul vocalist tho.

  • Oh my God....

  • note1… 0.19sec I got D# 6 and it was long (17sec) and very strong.

  • People are daring to compare Rachelle's voice with Mariah Carey? I don't wanna live on this planet anymore

  • thank you! this vid is AWESOME!

  • Her technique is damn flawed, and she is flatter than a pancake on most of the whistles.

  • LMAO

  • No one can touch this woman - and she does it raw without the help of studio production. Legend

  • we all have our opinions on whos better than who but rachelle ferrell is the real deal and in my opinion her head voice is the way head voice should be sung connected and not breaking into falsetto, falsetto has its uses but it damages the voice and she clearly has a pure head voice. lets not forget her brilliant musicianship her instrument imitations and staccato and legato phrasing is something we dont see often.

  • What's the song around 2:25, it's really good!

  • For anyone else wanting to use the infamous Rolling Stone magazine as the supreme authority for greatest singers; keep in mind that they list Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Patti Smith & Bonnie Raitt over Patti Labelle. They also list James Brown over Curtis Mayfield; are we talking about singing? David Bowie, Mick Jagger & Freddie Mercury over Micahel Jackson? While legendary crooners Luther Vandross & Donny Hathaway are 54th and 49th on the list. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! lololololol

  • @RecordStr8 You are SO right. Rolling Stone like MTV and other popular music media are driven by POPULARITY. They don't act as real music critics who are interested in highlighting REAL ARTISTRY, it's like they are paid by record labels to promote their top act. Rachelle is a MASTERPIECE and that is undeniable. MC can ONLY dream of having this GREAT instrument.

  • @RecordStr8 clearly this article has no real perception of musical talent. I refuse to get upset.. Over Donny H? His talent reaches your soul!! Mariah are not even in the same category. SMH!!

  • Minnie is smiling!!!!

  • @MrSmoothsongwriter

    YES YES YES......

  • Mariah can probably go higher but she has no soul in her voice compared to Queen Rachelle.Rachelle is so organic and different that many people dont understand her and cant take her vocal skills for very long.Check out her song called "Nothing In The Middle".She makes me laugh & cry when she sings :) And May God grant her haters understanding of real musicology one day.This lady is on here teaching vocals at a college(Berkley maybe,i know she graduated from there).

  • @iluvrachellef Rolling stones doesn't agree with that statement hun.

  • She has to be one of those Xmen!

  • Love it...Love it...LOVE IT!!! Lady Rachelle is absolutely INCOMPARABLE!!!

  • Cmon this makes no sense! DANG Wish she would share a piece of her gift to me! She is Blessed !

  • que grosa que es esta mina

  • The BEST SINGER on the planet.She signed two contracts simultaneously....Capitol Records & Bluenote back in the day.You can call her a bitch or say shes weird all u want but that just proves how SMALL minded u are.This is a beautiful woman with a genuine & gentle spirit,which is lacking in this world.Do u hate Anita too because she said Rachelle is what ALL of her contemporaries aspire to sing like.Its on here,go see 4 yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Her whistle is Amazing, but mariah's whistle are more comfortable to my ears..

  • she can be an opera singer I think LOL

  • this bitch sucks! she sounds like her uterus is on fire!!

  • @shaniceslaysurfav lol!!!!!!

  • OMG! I think those are higher than Mariah! Yeah she's not nearly as famous! She should have been!!

  • @birdiesanchez1 way higher!!!

  • Wow!!! have to take my headphones away!!!!! Amazing

  • Hail to the Queen !

  • real human flute !

  • whats the title of the live song at 43sec

  • @discorules2009  Autumn leaves

  • she is so weird LMAO i dont find her notes flattering at all mariah will always be the whistle queen

  • ok I like some and others NOT AT ALL

    however I love high notes =D

  • I'm sorry but most of her squeal's are absolutely shit house!!! she has an awesome singing voice but this is just crap use of vocal talent!! her voice cracks in alot of them when she tries to get it up there and it doesn't even fit the song (not even the jazz songs) it doesn't continue the song at all, seems like its just done for a few applause and a couple of whistles!!

  • do u think she's got higher notes than minnie riperton? she seems to b able to hold them longer, thats for sure.

  • Mariah couldn't touch this woman on her worst day. Rachelle Ferrell is classically and Jazz trained, not to mention her instrument skills and just plain raw feeling and talent. She's just not mainstream, which is pure freedom and peace of mind.

  • @RecordStr8 Sweetie Queen MC is vocally trained and her voice has been praised all over the world. Do yourself a favor and STOP with the LIES! Mariah Carey made rolling stones 100 greatest singers. Rachelle didn't make that list hun. Oh and because you thought of Mariah lets me further know you know, and believe Mariah slays. Do have a seat with your delusions.

  • @QueenMariahCarey I really don't need to go back and forth with you on this issue, because it's obvious you know zero about singing voices. Rolling Stones 100 greatest singers don't mean shyt! It's just a bunch of bullshit opinions based on popularity, not unlike your own. This is not a popularity contest! It's also pretty obvious that you are a Mariah Carey fanatic since you named your YT profile after her. Take your own poll, Rachelle Farrell is the best female singer alive right now.

  • @RecordStr8 Child do miss me with this foolishness. Honestly I stopped reading after you said the rollingstones list doesn't mean shit. I guess thats why real singers real [black] singers like Patti, Gladys, Tina, & Aretha made the list. Ms. Ferrell didn't because they dont know of her and that's just something you'll have to deal with. If her voice was something special she would have been listed but she wan't. Hun thats just something you'll have to accept. CONVERSATION IS NOW TERMINATED!

  • @QueenMariahCarey If I recall, you are the one who initiated this conversation in the 1st place Ms. Mariah Carey Jr. I did try to miss you, but anytime you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that barks is the one who got hit. Rolling Stone does not cater to black America, their writers opinions has no authority in our culture. We only read it at the doctor's office. We love Mariah too, but she does not have the depth of soul, feeling, or diversity of Rachelle. Ask black America.

  • Oh it's cool. And I uderstand that, that happens to me all the time too.

  • So... my glasses just broke! GNR

  • This woman has an insane wide vocal range but she looks like she struggles too much when she hits the whistle notes NOT like MARIAH who makes her whistle notes sound so effortless and flawless. 

  • @ale5677 Why do you talk abour MARIAH in a RACHELLE FERRELL video?? look, I love Mariah, but it's not the place to talk about her ^^

  • @soulandmore I was talking about Rachelle Ferrell and putting mariah as an example. I LOVE RACHELLE. And I can talk about Mariah or anybody that I feel like talking about in any place i want to and im so sorry it bother's you :).

  • @ale5677 Sorry if I was disrespectful, it's only that I'm tired to read comments abour Mariah in other artist's videos, it's annoying, though I love Mariah.

    Sometimes it's like the incident at WMA 2009 with Kanye West, beyonce and Taylor Swift: "I love Rachelle, but Mariah...."

    again, sorry if I was disrespectful :)

  • Was it necessary to bring Mariah into the topic ??? I really think Rachelle has a incredible voice :D

  • DAMN! AMAZING!

  • I wonder how many dogs when into cardiac arrest after hearing this lol AMAZING!

  • 18 seconds run

  • Great Singer isn't she! Rachelle Ferrell, The best Female singer in the world!!!, No other can hit those High notes!,

    -I Have a question, who's the piano player in the first movie?:O

  • i love her 2 death,shes my favorite singer,i was blessed to be able 2 open 4 her back in 2000 in new orleans,shes the truth nobody can touch her

  • She be KILLIN dem notes and I love it!!! She be sounding like the baloons do wen u let air out of em sometime tho and the faces she be makin...omg. Do she be struggling or is she just feelin em? I love it tho!

  • well first off WOW!! to the video... but the argument is kinda pointless Mariah and Rachelle are in two different catagories Rachelle sings her high notes in a SUPER HEAD VOICE Mariah uses a whistle register... both super head voice and whistle register accomplish the same notes on the scale but differ because a true whistle is high and airy while a super head voice is loud and easily heard and requires more strength mariah's notes are light because she has less belting power Rachele has more..

  • @breezyonetv you have a great ear!

  • @okebaram thank you took me a long time but its there lol

  • I don't know what whistle & super head voice is, I never heard of that term. Could you explain, I know what a riff is, but I'm curious about those terms, thanks.

  • "whistle voice" and "super head voice" are both subjective and not well agreed upon terms that refer to ways of reaching the "whistle register" which is the highest register of the human voice (notes above B6). Notes in this register that are light and airy are usually said to have been sung using "whistle voice" (extremely high falsetto voice) whereas notes that sound louder and more piercing in the upper octaves are described as "super head voice" (an upper extension of normal head voice).

  • @wesmartin91 Thankyou for responding.

  • @wesmartin91 i said the same thing about whistle register.. it is a falsetto, cuz when i sing in the register it comes from the bottom of my throat, i don't feel like i use my voice at all and notice like every note done true in whistle register is almost perfect like there is more stability

  • @coronaqueen221 yes whistle register is really an extension of falsetto... however there are other means by which singers can choose to produce notes that high (i.e without actually using falsetto (whistle) tones).

  • @okebaram P.S. of course that is SOME singers with INSANE ranges ::)

  • @wesmartin91 Rachelle sings her "whistle" notes in modal voice. That is why I said breezyonetv as a great ear, simply because he could tell that there her notes were something besides whistle production. Still he would be more accurate if he said mixed voice. In Rachelle's case, and in that of some other mistaken identities, it is not falsetto even in the context of your definition. Don't want to start any arguments, I'm just saying, and I do know exactly what I am talking about.

  • @emma86100 ok. w/e u say. -__-

  • i know !!!ICAN BE RIDICOULUS but why on alot of comment must be a Mariah comparison!!!!???

  • sorry guys but stop being ridiculous and blind ! you guys are joking hahahah I mean compare this stupid notes to Mariah is a little pathetic !she strugless tooo much to hit the whistle and What I Dislikeall excepting MAriah she is more yelling and screaming than WHistle so stop being ridicoulus to yourself

  • @emma86100 did u hear the introduction?! WUT R U TALKING ABOUT....that's ridiculous. I don't think she's struggling at all...LOL. Mariah has never been my favorite. Her voice is too raspy for me like she some how damaged her vocal cords.

  • Hahahah if you dont think she strugles You must be deaf !IS this what you guys call healthy strong raspa voice then i prefer the airy and soft whistle !You guys need To stop !You guys are freaking jealous !!!STop pls let Mariah Alone!Everyone new that come out need to be compared with MC!!BEcause deep insinde everyone knows She is still TH best !!SOOO GOODBYE AND PEACE !!!!I Dont need any reply

  • You are being so ridiculous.

  • wow...she has so much control over her voice. that is hot.

  • Effortless

  • "All hail the new queen of whistle." Minnie Ripperton & Betty Wright paved the way and Rachelle is keeping it alive!

  • Fuck what anybody got 2 say. Her high notes are cleaner and more supported than Mariah's. She is shittin on Mariah Carey

  • Thank you for this post.

  • I love her whistles. They are mindblowing. Mariah is wonderful (my favorite) but her notes are too soft and airy at times. A good strong whistle is a sign of heatly vocal cords. If you whistle and its "airy/cloudy" that means you have some type of vocal disorder.

  • i think she hit them notes better than all the females that hit them these days and nobody even talks about it

  • Thank you! and the notes are CLEAR and strong (not whisper-like with haze)....

  • i love her

  • Wonderful collage of Rachelle's notes!

  • Just awesome. Rachell is singin' off the chain.
