@bisexualbuffing - you are mistaken. I love Betty, but you need to listen to the long version of "Can you feel what I'm saying" and then get back to me. Minnie takes the notes off of the charts. Besides, why are we discussing ANYONE other than Minnie.

@TheTrueGreenLantern Nope, i heard all minnie's highest notes. Betty wright goes higher even to this day she hits higher then mariah carey. And as high as georgia brown. She just don't exploit her whistle register to guinesses books of world records. She can if she wanted to though.

[YouWereBornToServeMe]

@Seetdeh That's true, there are many. But Mariah is the most famous, because she's sold the most, uses it the most (as far as I know) and she is the most popular. And to blitz both of you, Georgia Brown can hit higher, by a supposed couple octaves...

@theloyalone100 true true but him being a man makes it more amazing

[TheTrueGreenLantern]

@iluvrachellef love Betty But Minnie has hit notes in the 8th octave much higher than Betty Wright

[applmac2009]

@iluvrachellef Your looking at it all wrong. What he is saying is that she is the most prominent person to carry on the technique in mainstream media. She is the one that people see, remember and like. She also makes sure to give Minnie as a influence on her singing.

[Seetdeh]

@iluvrachellef I get you. There are well few others who can also hit the whistle long before Mariah Carey. Jean Carne Betty Wright Linda Lewis Shanice Wilson After Mariah came out others also followed. Rachelle Ferrell Debelah Morgan Lisa Fischer Chante Moore Jill Scott People need to quit the idea that Mariah is the only one after Minnie, because there are others, even before her.
