The BEST LIVE HEAD NOTES: FALSETTOES AND WHISTLES

[RJRDEMONS]

Mariah is NOT the queen of high notes Minnie Riperton is, maybe Mariah is the princess of high notes!

[Angelfully]

@RJRDEMONS Minnie Rip. is awesome, don't get me wrong. However the technique Mariah Carey uses is amazing, even some things Minnie didn't do. Check the Empress of Whistles MC video. /watch?v=BVoh5HdsJho

Enlighten yourself to her skill. I'm not calling her the queen for nothing

[devinfortune888]

solange had the best.

[rahzss]

Solange owned the low notes

[ExotiqBeautii]

Celine and B I would pay to see!

[SaleanaC]

Minnie riperton!!!

[smoothPNB]

no betty wright...baby she started the whistles

[pringles75clem]

I was watching your video, wondering "Where is mariah ?". And then 4:47 :

[CLjuc87]

MARIAH Owns it!! No one can compare to her ability to control her notes in every range!!! She is number one for a reason!!!

[evahill38]

I don't think Keri Hilson or Rihanna was good it kinda just sounded like screaming...but I LOVE Solange she should come out with another album i love her sound...what was Beyonce singing at 1:46 that sounded amazing. Kelly Rowland has always been a beast she was my fave DC member.. Minnie Ripperton & Mariah Carey were the best imo

[sharcherry]

Rihanna????????? Why?

[Clemsonshawty]

Shanice at 4:13-4:18 takes THE CAKE!!! Mariah Carey can hit them but Shanice's ability with hers is 2nd to none... Shanice is sooooooooooooo underrated

[CLjuc87]

@Clemsonshawty LOL Second to MARIAH CAREY!! Sorry she can hit notes higher than Shanice! Love Shanice but hands down MARIAH IS NUMBER ONE!!!! <3

[Clemsonshawty]

@CLjuc87 I wasnt referring to who could hit the higher note, I was referring to the skill/talent part! Mariah can hit higher ones but Shanice's vocal skill was better!

[CLjuc87]

@Clemsonshawty Still no. Sherice would be famous if she was as good as Mariah. Sorry I didn't know of her until I saw these videos. :)

[Clemsonshawty]

@CLjuc87 false....its called MARKETING & PROMOTIONS!!! Its based on on well your record label can push a person..... There are plenty gospel artist that you may have never heard of that can sing circles around the "MAINSTREAM ARTIST" So how famous a singer gets is NOT based on how well they can sing....... SO of most famous artist out there arent great singers.... LIKE JANET JACKSON, PAULA ABDUAL, JENNIFER LOPEZ! They are very famous, but cant sing that well!

[CLjuc87]

@Clemsonshawty Well SHANICE needs to pick it up. Learn to pick a proper label then. Don't ever put Janet, Paula, or Jennifer on the same level as MARIAH. They are performers/entertainers. I'm not saying Shanice is bad but Mariah tops her. It's proven fact. She has the most number 1 hits as a female artist in the world. Mariah's whistles are the best I have ever heard. I've recently heard Mariah sing live and she still has it!!! She has more to come too!!! ;)

[Clemsonshawty]

@CLjuc87 well you dont pick a record label....THEY PICK YOU (unless your name is Beyonce or something) but anyway....its all a matter of opinion. I like Mariah but I like Shanice's vocal skill more.... Not insinuating that your OPINION is wrong for you, but for me.....I beg to differ.

[CLjuc87]

@Clemsonshawty That's true we all have our own opinions and favorites. :) Don't get me wrong Shanice's whistles in this are def good! I loved them. But my personal fav has always been Mariah ever since I was a little kid. haha.

[manwithoutfriends]

@Clemsonshawty

well, no... mariah has the record with her vma "emotions" performance.

shanice was a freak when it came to high notes. they were just SO easy for her it was unreal...

[bhimbhom]

i just love mariah carey

[mstarajiahtyes]

Solange!!!!! Kelly!!!! Beyonce!!!!!, Xtina!!!!!

[chocalatefee08]

lol Mariah

[brandomac777]

Just shows all the people who act like Kelly can't hit anything.

[imsofucingtired]

Christina Aguilera!

[30indhira]

i like them all! but u right the queen in high notes and whistle MARIAH CAREY!

[jeancarlosantos1992]

When I began to watch I was wondering if JoJo falsetto could appear.

2:46. Nice!!

[tomuchphatz92]

i can't believe that was rihanna

[Blueeyedsoul517]

very very very well put together!!!! if i made a list though, I'd include "emotions" by mariah live on arsenio and excerpts from "betty wright queen of whistle register" video. also, some rachelle ferrell

[larriale]

leona lewis, solange, amerie, chante moore, shaneice, mariah carey, nicole and kelly were all great!! all the singers shown are very talented though. My fave are solange and amerie but all of them are AWESOME

[javarie19]

who is shanice??? my hot damn??????

[bfly1]

@javarie19 A singer from the 90's check her music out she had some good music and she is married to Flex.

[wozniacki15]

nah minnie still the queen of the head voice imo

[digthewarmth]

Shanice and Chante have beautiful voices, I didn't notice, they're a little before my time, but I'll have to check them out

[TheAnkheart]

Queen Mariah killed them all !!!

[berrian417]

yes Kelly Rowland and Solonge and Leona Lewis and Kandi Burruss did it the best and Shanice and Christina Augliera and mariah carey

[janet7fru]

Amel Larrieux, Aaliyah, Solange, Terry Ellis, Kandi and Minnie are the bests.<3

[tamamaka]

amel larrieux!!!! my baby!!

[Drizzy0524]

.iMean....wat not could Whitney Houston NOT hit

[Drizzy0524]

.Aaliyah ws so beautiful

[MrWeezon]

if you think mariah can hit the high notes, check out rachelle ferrell! the purest singer out there today. and her high note runs are sick!

[KitsuneMale]

I dun agree with the middle, low and high differentiations, they were....just head voice notes....B5 is actually quite high for a female to achieve nicely....and only 3 middle notes? and 2 semitones of high notes? lol

[krazy8319]

luv shaneice voice



[icetoo06]

Ms. Kelly!!!

[JazzYaffa]

mariah is not the queen, chante can hit a higher octive then mariah

[30indhira]

@JazzYaffa have u heard emotions by mariah? no one can hit a note higher than that

[JazzYaffa]

@30indhira I have heard the song & i love it but Chante cause chante's octive is still higher, you need to check out her music..

[akoposiregalo09]

MARIAH CAREY THE SLAYER!!! haha

[keryssaApril]

MARIAH IS THE BEST!

[HorrorBuffy]

Uh someone is MISSING? One of the best Rachelle Ferrell!

[Angelfully]

@HorrorBuffy Honestly I'm not that impressed with Rachelle Ferrell. Her vibrato is annoying. I really regret leaving out Lisa Fischer and Betty Wright though, but @raveoni926 included some more on their video

[mazsolamusic]

ohh se was sorry

[mazsolamusic]

did i missed whitney or she was not there?

[polute13]

@mazsolamusic 1:09 ; 2:10...

[sideh93]

omg amerie can do falsetto? she's underrated 

[TheMickj23q]

2:18 that note from Leona slayed!

[levinmoses]

i like christina aguilera the best! damn shes really good

[AlwaysAbeyoncefan]

beyonce

[Kabarile31]

Rihanna's falsetto note does not sound natural. She was singing out of her comfort zone.

[boyfame1]

You cant leave out Angela Winbush

[Endriking]

Leona Lewis is the queen of falsettos and Mariah queen of whistles

[hanna1224h]

surprised to see Rihanna there :)

[Clemsonshawty]

4:13-4:18 is THE BEST OF THE HIGHEST NOTES BY FAR!

[misspinkandpurple1]

i loved Solange's B5, Christina Aguilera's E6 & Solange's E6, Christina Aguilera's G6, Minnie Rippleton's A6(amazing), Mariah Carey's C#7, D7, G#6-A6-D7/Eb7(amazing).

and i liked Kelly Rowland's C6 better than Beyonce's because it sounded more natural, smoother, longer and she ended it better too...!!!

[blktrekie29]

@misspinkandpurple1 Kelly is a true soprano whereas Beyonce is a mezzo-soprano (lower voice).

[misspinkandpurple1]

@blktrekie29 true. i loved Kelly's C6 a lot.

[miraclesR4Eva]

RIHANNA FALSETTO IN LOVIN THAT YOU WANT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THERE!!

[KeesusChrist]

LOL @ Jill Scott! I love Beyonce and Aaliyah's falsetto's. Aaliyah's are angelic, and Beyonce's are beautiful. 

[benthehen07]

funny cuz that was patti mix not head

[whirano]

can you tell me the song at 1:00, kelly rowland? pleasee

[Scanned]

@whirano Destiny's Child - Free

[TheMickj23q]

@whirano Emotion that was Beyonce but she must have done it for her show

[Harlem139Convent1]

@mannycampus please check out Lisa fisher!

[PSALMSOFSONGS]

@Harlem139Convent1 NOW SHE BAD!!!!

[Akimnio]

@Harlem139Convent1 please do cause the girl is BAD! she was back up for Luther Vandross at one point, then she went solo.

[Harlem139Convent1]

Where is Lisa fisher, she can hold her own against anybody period. I'm not saying she is the best, they all have there own unique style, but no one can simply out sing her!!

[TheVsims]

where amerie recognition she got a killer head voice and high note

[jessiemerrill11]

What about Rochelle Farrell...she killing them all....

[iStan4JoAndTK]

JoJo

[piscesgirl98]

Mariah is the best!!!!

[mannycampas]

Mariah fucked up her voice with that whistle crap. Whitney was great til the drugs. I think Celine is the only music diva that can actuslly sing nowadays live and be able to hit high notes that she hit when she was in her 20s...

[johnyvie]

So, who could take that G6 with Xtina ?? aside mariah ?? Thats very long and nice !!!

[Raquel314]

look up rachelle farrell... her whistle is sumthin serious.. u cant even do this vid with out her

[Raquel314]

look up rachelle farrel... her whistle is sumthin serious.. u cant even do this vid with out her

[iHeartttMusiccc]

I wish I could do that

[CountryBumpin205]

Mariah fucked her own vocals up hitting them notes

[VocalsByVeal]

what song was Mariah singing at the 5:20 mark?

[survivorcow713]

@VocalsByVeal All in your mind. She sang it differently from the studio version here though.

[QLAT21]

Ashanti !! <3

[edsssooonnn]

MARIAH CAREY !!! NO 1

[123buffylover]

i prefer minnie to mariah, because only minnie could change from full voice directly to whistle register and back in only the words "more than just a dream come true"

[theoneandonly2503]

@123buffylover Mariah can also shift from a belt to a whistle note without a break!

[MARIAHLOVER58]

Y people always try to play Mariah like she she's a nobody

[pinkpostergirl]

@MARIAHLOVER58 the same reason why mimi fans act like no one else can sing, or hit whistle notes.

Mariah is one of my top 10 favorite vocalist, she is the MOST popular and successful, but that still doesn't mean she is the only great singer.

[crit1227]

No one no one can touch Whitney, Byonce, Jill Scott, Aaliyah, Tiffany, Solange, Terry (Envogue)Beyonce, Minnie,Ashanti, Patti, Toni. Kandi, Celine,Tami, Amel and lets not forget Mimi If I missed any names. You know why!

[MrChachito90]

of coourse! MARIAH is tthe QUEEN!!

[EbonySings4u]

Go Kelly, Rih Rih, Ashanti!!!

[99heartbreaker99]

oh my goodness when mariah came on my shoulders went up! That woman is the QUEEN.....DUH! Every1 should know that no one can beat her high notes. Not SHANICE, CELINE, WHITNEY (i love whit tho!) but hey, just my opinion.

[stardusth2o]

Super top headvoices?

[stardusth2o]

LMAO at Rhianna's note.

[islandlife89]

@stardusth2o queen riri slayed the lessors

[TheFarlioPianiste]

I prefer a Matt Bellamy falsetto :D

[magguylicious]

AMY WINEHOUSE? love!

[dykeandlykeit]

Solange!!! christina!!! Jojo!!!!

[gonlaura]

WOW Rihanna B5

[hiks54]

what song was Ashanti singing???? but Aaliyah sounded amazing i lover her and Kelly Rowland did great as well i love her too.!

[cutekyutkyu]

love that 'yes you did' part

[SparkMyWorld]

I don't think this video did Celine any justice.  She can sing in whistle register.

[BrittBratBraCks]

SOLANGE !!!!

[MrJudube]

this video doesn't do Patti Labelle justice.

[lessonsoftoday]

Wow, all of these were amazing... but I was amazed at Solange. I never saw it coming. I love her music and all, but damn!

[themasterflexG]

Mimi's Whistles killed all !!

[BrittBratBraCks]

Aaliyah is smooth !

[myblock2007]

GO KANDI!!!!

[seqalive]

I cd slap Shanice for singing like that! Woo! Really moved me. I am impressed by Solange's range: I like her :-)

[Ridogs]

minnie= GOAT

[shawta1]

who was the girl that sung the G#6 right after Shanice ?

[songbird143]

@shawta1 Minnie Ripperton. Comedian Maya Rudolph's (from SNL) deceased mother.

[IcedLipGloss]

Mariah's whistles are what gives her songs that unique factor. Nobody can do it like her. Aaliyah, Celine, and Solange are amazing amazing at falsetto.

[markechio]

sorry minnie is still the queen !!

[sibbypagan]

Replying to babygurll7 for example a C6 starts off the sixth octave what I mean is on the piano it's the sixth octave on the piano like a G#7 Mariahs highest note is in the 7th octave of the piano(that's at the way end) the highest note on a piano is a C8 anything above a C8 is higher than the piano. Notes go for example C6 C#6 D6 D#6 Eb6 E6 E#6 F6 F#6 G6 G#6 A6 Bb6 B6 then into the 7th octave.

[technical180]

Whitney Can Be The Mostt Creative.. Buh I DIDNT Know.. KERI, ASHANTI, RIHANNA & AMERIE & KELLY.. Could Hit THOSE Notes! Wow Gotta Likee Dis

[pinkmeercatpink]

i liked alicia keys because her falsetto is very different to most.

[LourdesBlueBlood]

Wow, Amy before she became a coke whore..And ♥ Mini..She mad it look so effortless it didnt even look like she was singing. Crazy.

[theovanua]

Mariah is the queen of high notes, because she has the most control...

[cificboi]

TIFFANY EVANS GIRL.. IF YOU WERE ONLY PLAYIN AROUND, I WONDER HOW YOU WOULD SOUND 4REAL LIKE THAT :-)

[willsayssure]

what song was celine dion singing at a5-b5 ??

[feelgoodtime]

@willsayssure When I Need You

[songbird143]

I still think Shanice's highs are better and more pure than Mariah's. Mariah's have just become common place in her songs and I'm sorry but not every song needs a whistle note in it.

[0AspiringStar0]

@songbird143 She doesnt have whistles in every song...

[songbird143]

@0AspiringStar0 I was hoping that people would realize that obviously I didnt mean every single song. How about more often than not her songs have a whistle in it? Not coppin an attitude, but does that sound better?

[fan4mc]

@songbird143 o SHUT UP

mariahs amazing dont care what you have to say

[songbird143]

@fan4mc If you don't care what I have to say, then why even comment? Take your own advice and shut it up. I never said Mariah was bad. Just simply that I prefer Shanice's voice. Stop being a brat and confronting people when their opinion varies from yours. Music is subjective. Obviously, I'm not the only one that feels this way

[muzikmajor84]

@songbird143 yea shanice one was betta

[muzikmajor84]

@songbird143 i say terry ellis of envogue is betta than mariah

[songbird143]

@muzikmajor84 Terry and Cindy both in my opinion. I've listened to all of the girls sing solo and I think Cindy has the best control and range but I think Cindy was classically trained if I'm not mistaken.

[muzikmajor84]

@songbird143 agree she is classical trained....4got my girl cindy

[SparkMyWorld]

@songbird143 Yes. Cindy has a jazz background, and she was classically trained.

[stardusth2o]

@songbird143 No, Shanice's are screams. Mariah can phrase on them. Shanice cannot.

[songbird143]

@stardusth2o How in the world would you consider her whistles screaming?! You're either screaming or whistling...they are NOT one in the same.

[psych006]

@songbird143 if you listen to Shanice's whistles they are very strained, she does not do the trick right, she releases too much air and she has cracked many times in that voice. Mariah Carey, Minie Ripperton and Shante Moore are the only ones who have mastered that voice and know how to squeak and not scream like shanice.

[songbird143]

@psych006 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. At the end of the day my vote goes to Shanice. I just prefer her voice.

[zblamm2121]

@songbird143 yes it does..if it's mariah carey

[MySugarWallz]

It's one thing to give props to a girl for really working the high notes and having strong coloratura qualities. But most of the girls up there sing falsetto because they can't hit any fierce high notes in their natural voice. That's not really praiseworthy or remarkable. Hey Be, Ri Ri, Ashanti, etc. !

[MySugarWallz]

Gimme some Desiree Coleman!!!

[alcoholharmony]

So... if Mariah is the "Queen" of whistle, I guess Minnie Riperton never existed then.

While we're at it; these titles that seem to be given away at the swap meet, I guess Bobby Brown is the King of R&B after all, huh? #BobbyEYEloveYOU

[songbird143]

@alcoholharmony No, Minnie is the G.O.A.T. - Greatest of all time

[theovanua]

@alcoholharmony Well Mariah Carey has more control over her whistle than Minnie Ripperton... Which is probably why people are calling her the queen of whistle...

[vanylc99]

Please someone tell Little mosnter Gaga can't do a high note lol!

This are true singers.... amazings!! with real talent!

My fav... Christina Aguilera Solange, Whitney and Celine and Mariah!

[babygurll7]

I don't get this D6 and A's and b's I don't understand, what does it mean?

[MySugarWallz]

@babygurll7 It's pretensious crap.

[babygurll7]

wow Rihanna was the worst.

[sydalgize]

Solange was Great.

[sydalgize]

ALICIA FTW.

[sactownboss]

u should add rachelle ferrell to this. shed dump on all of them...including mariah

[Oonthada]

GREAT GREAT GREAT video!!!

[briobrandon911]

Mariah could quickly shift her voice from head voice to whistle register. I wonder why theres no clip of mariah with her head voice here. Oh wait, shed prolly kill them all. ehe

[Eva4Diva]

kelly...the best

[nippi89]
