[TheIncorrigibleOne]

MJB is a beast! WOOO

[dimedame1]

[kimnamoo]

she mixes after f5 note

[SailorRazr]

After. D5. actually. If u gon call her out. make sure u callin out the right sh*t FAGG. and who doesn't mix. Beady eyed. beast.

[iceto100]

love you Mary!

[Angelfully]

She has an excellent range. Didn't know it was so wide

[vocalskills]

Those higher notes aren't in chest voice anyway, they're extremely mixed from about G5 upwards.. You want to hear a G/A5 in full chest voice then just ask and I'll upload, it souds nothing like this.. you cant sing this high and sound so smooth in full chest, its impossible.. in full chest, those notes sound EXTREMELY harsh

[xxxMrBligexxx]

I love this video!!!!

[jjayleigh]

Wow. That's fantastic... but last two notes are not her chest voice, which is totally fine because anyone who hits C6 in a chest voice is a monster....

[iaintgonletup]

What was the Eb5 note from?

[SailorRazr]

What Eb6. FAGG?

[iaintgonletup]

I was asking what song the Eb5 note was from on the third Eb5 note in the vid.

[eugenehilter09]

i luv mary only aretha n mary can hit me n sometimes patti n gladys but my main queens is mary n aretha n i don't like the person who makes these videos u need 2 show repect 2 the number one queen aretha

[Shutitdown5]

Mary J. Blige is an Dramatic Mezzo Soprano and has an 4 octave and growing

[LarryDWilmore79]

U should hear her new song Stronger..Da Power!!! I can't wait to hear her live on this one.

[LingLingRox]

the C6 was boosted falseto, and can i say that in pop chirstina is one of the best singers our right now, i'm only saying that in response to earliler comments about her not being able to sing. and i'm not saying christina is better than mary j blige, i'm just saying that she's one of the best in pop. but i am impressed with mary j's raage!

[Shutitdown5]

NO HATING ALLOWED ON THIS VIDEO... HER LOWEST NOTE IS AN D2 HER HIGHEST IS AN C6 SHE HAS 4 OCTAVE RANGE even tho i think her range can be bigger because i keep hearing voice and range growing

[martele85]

Very nice job putting this video together, I imagine it must have took you some time. You've definitely done a favor to Mary fans, and you've given the haters a way to kill time. Ya know, the people who AREN'T considered the Queen of Hip-Hop soul who come in here hatin' on her.

[calvin999999999]

i doubt her B5 or C6 is in chest, i mean like, come on lol

[Shutitdown5]

Majority/most of thse notes are live and in chest if not then almost all...

[Shutitdown5]

it is she usually does all these pefromance live!!

[eternalsilverlight]

No they are in mixed voice

[happyperson123456]

LMAO is all I can do. U need help. lmao

[SailorRazr]

Thx u. big nose.

[RobertJohn1993]

Lol @ Mary J. Blige fans

[happyperson123456]

SOUNDS LIKE A MAN!!!!!!!!

[SailorRazr]

Yesss. a man. a woman. ya big. harangatang lookin. ass. The QUEEN. can do it ALL.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

Yes faggot, Manriah WEAK shrill voice could NEVER EVER do it.

[lilsexyt572]

mary j blige no body can sing like this

[CareemBrownMusic]

I think that Christina and Mary BOTH can sing! heck, Mary and Chris would do great performing together! Why pit them against one another?They both are great artists :)

[RangeVocal]

haha, ok, really i'll don't talk with somebody who says Christina cannot sing.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

She CANT sing, white people CANNOT sing and Christina is PROOF of that.

[BiggestMariahfan]

White People Can Sing, they just have no soul in there music. White People sing Opera the hardest type of music to sing and BTW Christina can sing, she just has a bad singing technique

[SuffererForLove]

Hey, I just came to this video to appreciate Mary's range, and now there's race wars going on here? "White people have no soul?"

You do know that "soul" is not a genre of music? It's the ability to sucessfully convey a high or extreme amount of emotion through vocalisation. Are you saying white people's vocal cords & technique are incapable of that? If you are, I encourage you to go listen to Kelly Clarkson UP TO THE MOUNTAIN on Idol Gives back, then tell me white people have no "soul".

[RobertJohn1993]

LOL. White people can sing. Every race has people who can sing, every race has people who cannot sing. What kind of idiot are you?

[silentsoul93]

eh...

[heartburn17]

She's a great singer! I didn't know she had such a large connected range.

[taytayboss]

her range isnt connected...if you listen her high notes r super smooth that how you can tell they are strong falsetto notes her higher middle notes are and Eb5 arent as smooth they're rough...but her voice is still beautiful n full of soul

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

You could NEVER do it faggot.

[Goodies4daHoodies22]

However, she has a nice middle register.

[SailorRazr]

Yess. FAGG. u better had clicked that edit tab. i wear the pants. on the Youtube chat. Nobody does. it like Razr.and don't u FAGGs. 4get that.

[Goodies4daHoodies22]

DEADDDD @ 'edit tab'. Slick bruised face animal. You APPROVE only what you want to hear. But I KNOW what I said before you deleted it.

[SailorRazr]

I sure. motha f*ckin. do FAGG. i run this. sh*t. i'm the HBIC. in this motha f*cker. *tilts head side. to side. blinkin eyes repeatedly*

[damskooo]

can you believe some peepz think christina aguilera is better then miss mary

[SailorRazr]

Christina CANNOT. sing at ALL. Mary is selling SOUL. REAL life issues. PAIN and JOY. NOT SEX. Xtina cudn't survive 1 sec on stage with. The Queen.

[damskooo]

yes when mary sings you feel her pain.

just look one live gig when she does no more drama live

[SailorRazr]

EXACTLY. that's wat people don't understand. she's NOT singin for awards. or the money. she's singin to get someone outta a broke home. she's singin to get someone off their sick bed. she is PRAISEd. for lastin so long bein real and true. not chasin. bubble gum records. but singin songs that means somethin.

[damskooo]

yeah if you feel sad and watch her how she has over come all it gives you strenght.

i mean just like just fine awesome song gets you right up.

lol and like mary says on you can hate it or love it

[SailorRazr]

*Blows strands outta face* I'm gonna love it.

[damskooo]

:p

but is it true they dont play get down from mary on bet anymore.

i dont live in us.but thats what i heard

if so thats messed up they play bautifull and madonna all day .but you dont hear mary or jill enough

[RangeVocal]

Xtina can't sing? Haha. Ok, And why she's called 'The Voice Of Generation'? Go on all of the world and ask who have the best voice? Always they're gona say Christina.

[SailorRazr]

FAGG. when has ANYBODY called. Strain "The Voice of a Generation" i have PROOF of. Mary bein yalled the Voice of A Generation. NOBODY gives Xtina props on her voice. because it is KNOWN she CANNOT sing. she is one of the worst singers EVER.

[jeanintro]

Ok, hold your horses dude. First, do not call someone Fag. Second, Christina can sing. Third, MJ Blige is a great great singer too. Both Chrsitina and Blige sing for different audiencesm they have different reasons to be singing, and oth of them have great ranges. Mary may not sing for the awards (but she does accept the ones she win) and has a story behind her songs. Christina does too. She went through a hard childhood and she has message on her songs, not just sex.

Peace out :)

[damskooo]

uhm no one says xtina has the best voice if you ask around

[orangecarrotcake]

Wow, she does shout too much.

[SailorRazr]

Yesss. and it's SHOUTulous. Sometimes it takes a shout. to evoke that soul. EVERYBODY does. not spend hours in the studio. doctoring each note. like. the computerized TRANriah.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

I rather hear shouting than hear some ragdy redneck lip synch and trick the audience like Manriah WEAK ass voice.

[SailorRazr]

OK! *Youtubes Mariah exposed for whisperin over a backtrack*

[xmen4ever8290]

How many octaves does she have? Mary is amazing!

[SailorRazr]

3. and some change.
