[maracheski]

What is the music 4:06

[captainbryce1]

@maracheski Pain (live version)

[jeremimi]

can someone tell me what song is at 5:00

[captainbryce1]

@jeremimi All the songs are listed on the drop down menu. The song playing on the 5:00 mark is the live version of "No Pain, No Gain"

[captainbryce1]

@JJLopesz True. Georgia can hit and sustain higher notes for longer than Mariah. But she's not a better singer than Mariah because that's the only thing Georgia can do well.

@kgilbert2005 um imma dis-agree mariah could sing in the 90's. Now she cant. she lost it a while ago. betty has achieved soo much more. ppl sample her music everyday like beyonce, lil wayne, color me bad and much more. she's getting paid. she got grammys and all. who you think encouraged mariah to whistle......... "Ms Betty" baby. she's also a vocalist coach for major artist. do ur homework. sorry didnt mean to go there but i don play about "Ms Betty"!! lol

[shaniceslaysurfav]

@cannoir totally. betty can't hit those notes live anyway. i'm currently working on a video to expose her fake ass

[ILoveDonuts0]

@captainbryce1 Agree. Although Mariah can't hit that high like Georgia but Mariah's whistle sounds beautiful. It's light , airy and not that sharp..

[Stefano94x]

Nope. She doesn't have the coloratura skills of Mariah and Debelah, and her use of it is not as musical. She can go high, but that's as far as it goes.

[Devotedlamb19]

Betty Wright isn't the queen but she's very good.

[cannoir]

Hellz yeah ! Shanice can wash the kitchen floor with Betty's weave all dayum day lmao!

[cannoir]

Um..paid what ! Mariah didn't actually write most of her ballest.At most she co-wrote 2. The people who are getting the lion share of the royalities are Babyface,Diane Warren, LA reid and the other writer who was hot in the mid 90s.Can't remember his name. Mariah is brand of her own , that's what generates the moolah .

[misses18yearold]

@landoboo8x agreed. betty's way too shrill

[QueenMariahCarey]

Betty [in my opinion] is the queen of the whistle register. Her whistle register slays my soul and I love her dearly! Betty Wright comes first, followed by MC. I just love me some Betty.
