Mariah Carey Vs Toni Braxton (Live)

Visit TheLavaLizard.com!

This is a vocal showdown between two of the most versatile vocalists in R&B/Pop music today - Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. Both women are experts in vocalising in the low, Baritone-class register and are both classified as Contraltos by nature. So who has more control and expertise in this range? Watch and decide!

**Put your fanaticism aside and be as objective as possible. I gave both Divas equal time and chose the best quality material that I could find. This video does not include the lowest notes of either women; Mariah can descend to G#2 (that we know of) and Toni has been known to vocalise at A2 with ease. This is not about sales or chart success either. Just listen and enjoy!

CANNOT compare Toni Braxton and Mariah Carey at all whatsoever... They are two totally different kinds of singers!! That's like comparing Beyonce and Britney Spears lmao... Seriously..

[shells500tutubo]

This is a ridiculous comparison since Mariah is a soprano who is singing in her lower register with a microphone, and it is breathy. Her best sound is in the higher register.

Toni Braxton is a true contralto, as is Karen Carpenter, Della Reese, Dianne Reeves, Sarah Vaughn, for other examples. They can sing high, but the richness is in the low notes. True contraltos are not common. Most women are sopranos, but aren't usually super high sopranos.

I think they both have beautiful voices.. but i have to go with Mariah Carey on this.. Her technique is ridiculous And her vocal ability in general surpasses Toni's when it comes to range(even tho toni does have great range), runs, belting, whistle register, all that.. MC takes the cake..

@SecondToNone88 Whoever was the Britney Spears in that comparison should be mad as heck!

[carem1985]

[catrinastone4]

YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE TWO! THEY BOTH ARE RESPECTFULLY TALENTED IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. PERSONALLY I PREFER TONI'S CONTRALTO TO MARIAH'S SOPRANO. TONI'S VOICE IS SOOTHING WHILE MARIAH'S V OICE IS OPERETIC.

Sorry Mariah, you're overrated!!!! Toni all the way!!!!

[OscarDavisActor]

I agree with somo of the people who wrote comments before. There's no comparison between Mariah and Toni. Mariah is a soprano and Toni is a contralto. Two kind of voices totally different. They both are good in their so particular ways.
