These notes sound beautiful but I wouldn't call them operatic. Maybe that's just me

I don`t want to destroy your illusions, but the highest note I can hear in your vid is an a, a third too low to serv as a high c. And an opera singer needs NO mikrophone, of course. Thank god, Whitney - one of the best singers of our time - never claimed to be an opera singer!

operatic lol wtf... isn't this falsetto or head voice or something idk..

Mariah fans are such haters...sad.

@zehnthaus She certainly could have been if she'd liked to. And this vid isn't a vocal range showcase apparently from the title.

@madaboutmariah Sorry, had to vote this one down. These notes are very operatic mixed with pop stylings. Whitney, and herself only was amazingly able to bridge the two.

1:16 whitney sang La Madonna E mobil with pavarroti. She is adept with opera in her prime. wow!

@stevesg92 If you read my comment you would see that I was referring to halls where opera singers perform. Obviously if they were to sing in an extremely large venue they sound would be smaller, but like I said, halls are constructed specifically to aid the sound travel. It's common sense. All I'm saying is Whitney uses a different technique than opera singers do. Whitney doesn't sing for the purpose of being loud, because she has a mic. Opera singers have a different technique with no mic.

@MusicLuver093 even in a huge stadium? ha! hilarious... what are they gods?

@arwjr1982 Yes, it is constructed to aid the sound however they're trained specifically to learn how to project their voices at higher amplitudes to be heard over orchestra symphonies. They use something called vocal resonance and balance which is a technique opera singers use to push their sound through their nasal cavity, mouth, and throat. They uniquely shape their voices to produces extra frequencies around 3000hz to the orchestra's 800hz.
