- Mariah Carey's "You and I Stevie Wonder" tribute at the BET awards: This is my reaction. This song came out in 1972, on Stevie’s Wonderlove Soul TV Album, written by Stevie himself. I’m loving the bright sound we’re getting, despite all the air, and the MANY runs she is giving. There is tons of air in her sound but she does build a bit and give us moments of a clearer sound, and she uses a lot of vibrato so her moments of straight tone really stand out. I love her melodic choices, many super soulful licks and ideas. This performance is so funny bc it’s so low but still bright! Many people dip into the bottom of their voices and have to lower their larynx and really give some darkness in order to sing in a relaxed setting, but mariah is still bright despite nearing the bottom of her range.
I am a jazz/R&B vocalist, baritone saxophone player, music educator, and vocal coach local to New Orleans. I have two degrees in jazz/music education and work professionally playing music. Thank you for all the support on these videos! It is such a joy to create educational, entertaining content for you. I’m looking forward to making more reactions, as well as expanding on ways to create educational/music related content for all of you. I’m so grateful for every one of you!

In this rendition, Mariah articulated the word "I" in 4 different timbres - airy, whistled, mixed and glottal.
good ear!!
Mariah's has sung with several different tones over the course of her career, never sounding completely the same. The raw recording is almost identical to the televised version.
You're so right!!!
Identical? Clearly not lol. Vocal airbrushing was used for a reason
@@Bahia82 *almost* is the key word here😉
@@Bahia82 Vocal Airbrushing? This is like 2000-2003... and music tech has made leaps and bounds since then. Her dubbing this performance meant she came in and sang it over again (something very common back then) or they cut it with the rehearsal performance (something still common today)
And its BET, so she might have been contractually bound to dubb... Something not often mentioned.
They don’t make them like this anymore. The Greatest!
So true!!!
The true impressiveness in this performance is in the rich lowssss. Suchhh an underrated part of her voice. She was definitely trying to showcase that and this is the right song to cover for this. Some of those lows are sometimes even more impressive than the higher notes/belts
so true!!!
Totally!
101%
Omg your Mariah reactions are everything. I hope Mariah one day watches your reactions.
You had me weak with "8 days a week" 😭 🤣🤣. Great reaction.
HAHA I was editing this video, heard that and was like omfg I need to go back to first grade. But what a dream it would be if she watched!! Hahahaha. So happy you enjoy them :))
@@erikatorresmusic_ Haha. First you called yourself a saxophone in another reaction video and now we have 8 days in a week. 😭 🤣
Mariah is vocal monster
Omg when you talk much more about the background vocals i get sooooo excited! I’ve always loooved Mariah’s background vocals they’re very intricate and the harmonies are crowded in a very good way, lmao excuse my poor musical vocabulary 🤣🤣🤣
I loooove them too they are so good!!!
She deliberately crafts them to support her when she's live AND most importantly, to me, they tend to offer a varied assortment of surprises and delicate inferences on the phase being sung. Love her c
VOCAL direction of them too.
Yet another brilliant reaction. "Vanishing" ❤ bit and great editing. I love that "You and I" performance. Cheers for the video!!
YAY so happy you liked it!! Thanks for coming back
I highly recommend her Live VH1 Duet performance with John Legend singing a cover of, With You I'm Born Again.
Oooh react to Mariah’s performance of “If Only You Knew / Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” One of my favorite performances of hers ever!
I second this suggestion!!
Either this or that one are my favorite, they’re too good
Hi Erika. I love that you are reacting to this Mariah performance. It has such a slow tempo with a lot of depth to the lyrics. These live performances are way more interesting than regular music videos. Mariah is "The Diva" of the ages.
Hi Lily!! You’re right there’s so much depth to these lyrics, especially with all the embellishments she adds. Super highlighted by the slow tempo. I agree that these performances are way more interesting than regular music videos :) thanks for this lovely comment!!
The low to whistle jump😍
Her backgrounds was - are the best !!!!!! She is and will be a legend ❤
I LOOOVE your analysis. You always go into the really little details and elaborate it, I don’t study music, but you always explain it very clearly that I understand what you’re talking about. Please keep these videos coming!!🙌🏼
Thank you so much I'm so glad to hear this!! I always wonder if I'm making it clear enough that those who didn't study music can understand.
Fabulous reaction Erika!!! I really like Mariah's cover of Stevie Wonder's song, it's terrific! Thank you💗
Queen Mariah!!
SHE'S THE GREATEST! THANK YOU❤️🦋
Love your knowledge, charisma, and personality. Super excited for more.
I loved this reaction. As I have loved every reaction you've posted. I've also spent hours and hours watching other vocalists's reactions and I find yours more engaging. You are very charismatic and definitely know your stuff.
Sounds very glitter era, so beautifully interpreted, the beauty of this performance is that she did not sing it over Stevie who is a master of all times, she respected his art with her own talent. So Perfect!
so talented- you and Mariah!!
Thank you ❤❤❤
Erika I appreciate your knowledge so much. I enjoy your analysis videos a lot.
Yassssss so glad you did this song
Hey honey, I can tell this will be a great video!!! You are an awesome human being and content creator!! I’m out with family at the moment, but I’ll watch when I can! ILY❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
I really feel as though you should have listened to the original version of this song before doing this video I think it might give a little bit of context as to why she is singing it this way she does it very close to and true to Stevie’s version and I am pretty sure it’s in the same key I also think listening to a little bit longer and to the song and may be having the words present helps just some unsolicited feedback I am not a vocal coach but I am a singer.
I really enjoyed this 😂😂 you’re so funny ❤
I'm so glad! :)
I love your reactions and yes I am watching this at 2 am when I should be asleep alright I'll go now 😁😁
HAHA I love that. Goodnight!!!
I love u for loving Mariah 💗
Omg!! If you put all of your bloopers in one video that would be so funny. Please consider that in the future. That would so fun to watch. 😂
HAHA I have thought about doing that!!! I have SOO many, I need to go through all my old videos
This performance was her showering with you with the 🌈 that is her voice which if you actually listen to that album you get the full range that she loves to play with! Never overdone and you dissected it pristinely!👏
To be honest, the simple songs I thought were difficult to sing became bearable after watching you break down every note. I cannot sing this song before because of the runs, now I can although in a higher note cause I can't sing that low. You're great ❤
Love your videos!! haha I love plants, too... wait until you become obsessed with crystals!!
Hahahaha a whole other rabbit hole to go down!
Yay so happy you like these thanks for watching 🥰🥰
OMG you did it! I was so curious to see what you thought about the lower key/register in this song. I'm totally with you on the vibrato, I don't tend to like it as much when people use it all the time. There is literally so much to talk about when it comes to her voice - she uses so many different techniques. I love how she decided to do so many turns for the ONE AND ONLY Stevie Wonder - who loves improvisation, runs, and turns himself. The original version of this song is gorgeous, and I think what she did was very tasteful. I think if she was performing this song in a different context, she may not have went "all out" on the turns. I would be so nervous singing a Stevie Wonder song in front of him. Her backups are always ON POINT, but yes usually too loud. Thanks for doing this breakdown - yours are always the best. and OMG you with those whistle notes!!!! Love it! This performance was dubbed, the undubbed version is online and you can find it. She went slightly flat in one of the runs (totally fair) and her voice didn't sound quite as relaxed as the dubbed but it is pretty much the same. She was definitely going through a difficult vocal period during this time and she really started to lose the live performance confidence that she previously enjoyed.
YES!! and yes. I always tell my students, everything in singing becomes annoying if you use it ALL the time ... straight tone, belting, vibrato, runs... it's important to be tasteful and selective of where you place it! But yes I would be so so nervous sining in front of stevie. I can't imagine. SO happy you enjoyed this!!! Thanks for all the information I didn't know & thank you for coming back for me yet again!!
@@erikatorresmusic_ You got it! I'll be back for sure.
Mariah's skill❤❤❤
Great review. Def not dubbed. If it’s a prerecord she most certainly is still singing live even if the iteration we hear is not that vocal. Thank u so much!!! Awesome review love it
Ma'am your voice is exquisite. Wow I just random clicked here. Thank you. Sing us some songs please. We would love to hear you.....OMG I JUST HEARD YOU ON YOUR SINGING VIDEO. WOW. please forgive the caps. My apologies.
OMG I'm so flattered, thank you so so much
Isn't she awesome?
@@Neonlike0 💘💘
Haha. I'm glad you guys are hearing it too haha! There'd a
What an amazing reaction so smart
Thank you I learn a lot . Hope you can react to her song the roof ft Brandy .
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Air helps make it more deep. Your look is very cool with this necklace🔥
Hi Erika! I learned a lot of music stuff from you. Will you please react to Mariah Carey’s Fantasy live at the Tokyo Dome 1996. I just want to learn about something in that particular live perfomance. It was great!
Hi!!! I'm so happy to hear that, that's definitely one to add to my list :)
Amazing Video! I Love her tone here.. its not only about what she does and how but the outcome its so unique and with nice blend. It is True that it is dubbed but mostly to polish the sound/volumes. I think only 1-2 notes are remade probably because they could not salvage the real sound. the raw is almost identical but the volume of the mic is very low.
You're so right!!! I don't blame her for dubbing it at all. I love her tone and her ideas. Thanks for watching again !!! I appreciate you :)
This is dubbed, but the undubbed version is on TH-cam and it's just as great!
Great analysis love the attention to detail! You should react to Mariah’s version of Lullaby in Birdland. Jazz Mariah!
That is on my ever growing list!! Thanks for watching so happy you liked it :) 💙
LOVE your videos. when will you do Whitney!!
She's on my ridiculously long list!
I love plants!!!!! Praying for them
Thank u 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please do a video on Mariahs If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over The Rainbow
One of my favorites and I can’t say I like her cover. Maybe because I really like the original
Really enjoyed ur reaction and analysis !
Since you are a jazz singer u might wanna check out her jazz songs like the wind and Lullaby of Birdland, also by the time Christmas comes her live performances at St john the divine !
Btw she has said she is been working on a themed album right now with a twist and many collaborations and there are rumours it is / might be a jazz themed album !
Thank you so much!! I do plan on checking both of those out at some point :)
I'm laughing the way you sing those low notes, trying to copy Mariah. Haha! So cute. 😁😂🥰🥰
Hahaha! She has such a crazy range!!!!
This song is not dubbed or lipped , entirely live !! Nobody can sing like Mariah ❤
You're such a sweetheart
SUBSCRIBED! 🎉🎉🎉
Welcome!!
She’s the only person on earth who would try that shit. She knew nobody could do that song (IN HIS KEY) but her😖😖 #FknGenius
Trey Lorenze is always there for backing vocal 🤣 I love him as well. Btw once Mariah write songs for his record they are amazing too and fyi Mariah as his backing vocal 🤣
💗
Love your stuff, you will DOUBLE your subscribers if you talk about half the time you do :)
This performance was most likely not dubbed. There's a pre-production version out there. They did master the vocal and clean up some timing and mix issues, but overall this was a raw performance. I think she sang this song low because it's super difficult, especially by the time you get to the high parts, and she wanted to do some classic "Mariah runs" to make it her own. That's easier low. It gave her a chance to show off her low notes while sounding strong and healthy at the climax, doing some runs, and picking a key for her whistle to sound good has to be factored in as well.
The thing with dubbing, is it’s the same performance, the levels have just been equalised so that’s why you get consistent volume despite the pulling away of the mic. Dubbing a performance does give the artist an opportunity to redo sections but I think Mariah mainly uses it to balance out the sound, and of course she only has the luxury of dubbing a performance when a performance is televised after the time it was performed. Also there is a non dubbed version of the performance on YT
I just feel sometimes people get lipped and dubbed mixed up. Dubbing to me is just a higher quality that is applied to the actual performance later on.
PLEASE REACT TO ANYTIME YOU NEED A FREIND LIVE AT TOKIO WELL ACTUALLY ALL THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF THIS SONG ARE GREAT BUT I LIKE THE DOMO TOKYO, AND IS BEAUTIFUL SONG
Not dubbed, this was a live televised performance as a tribute to Stevie Wonder, this is his song. It was a 1 time thing and she would never disrespect Stevie Wonder that way, he is an idol to her
Ugh. Thank you for saying that about dubbing and lipsyncing. Like the amount of stress and hardwork she puts, as we know how perfectionist she is, for her songwriting and singing vocals in the studio, you barely don't have energy anymore to tour or have a live performance. Plus considering how vocally demanding her melodies are and her condition having nodules. It's a vocal suicide so I don't know why people always wants her to prove herself when she already cemented herself as a vocalist. Maybe people expect her to be like other singers who only waits for someone to give her a song to sing but that's not who she is. She's an artist for goodness sake and she's very passionate and dedicated to her craft. She even said before she only gets to sleep 3 hours a night. People doesn't understand how time consuming songwriting is from scratch to finish. 🤷🏻
If you like unison runs, I highlyyyy recommend checking out yebba singing her song “stand” for nprs tiny desk, really cool stuff
I've seen it!! I looooooove Yebba
@@erikatorresmusic_ I do too! She’s amazinggg
8 days a week lol i cant
Lead the way please....
Yes this video is the dubbed version, there’s an undubbed version but some of the vocals are unclear in some parts (duh it’s undubbed lol). But both versions are great nonetheless
Awesome analysis as always✨️💕 Here's another great Morisette performance to react to! Her cover of Mariah Carey's "Fly Like a Bird".
Most people don't even dare attempt this song and she had the best cover I've ever heard of the ENTIRE thing. Would love to hear your analysis on this. I think you'll enjoy this💕
Her fans go so hard for her and support anyone that supports her. I'm sure you've seen that with your first reaction to her. I'm a fan too. In my opinion, she's the best vocalist of this generation so far. She just has IT!
Yay I am so happy you liked it ❤️❤️ yes that one is for sure on my ever-growing list!! I’m also a fan now! She has an incredible voice and is super versatile. Y’all are always teaching me things.
Thanks for coming back and supporting me I appreciate you ❤❤
please react to make it happen msg live 1995
ur so preety!
PLEASE REACT TO GIGI DE LLANA COVER OF BETTER DAYS AND THROUGH THE FIRE X PIANO IN THE DARK .THANKS
Can u react to Sohyang? For example Bridge Over Troubled Water, I really think u will like her :D
Did you react to Morissette 's 2 songs
performances at the 2017 ASIA SONG
FESTIVAL ?
Di+pthongos, Greek. Also known as a gliding or moving vowels.
Just another note that I want to point out is that her doctor said that her throat have never been able to close due to her nodules, thus the airy buttery sound we hear every time. So what might be a healthy way to sing for others is not something we can apply to her(?). She's a natural wonder. 🤪
lambily here
Yes. Dubbed. You can find the live version on you tube. They added something to the lower notes to make them hear better, but apart from that the rest is really the same. Great performance.
Plants are really good for you
😘
Hey Erika how are you? Are you of Portuguese descent by any chance? Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Hi!! I'm great how are you? I am not, I do love Jobim & brazilian music though.! I am of Spanish descent !
@@erikatorresmusic_ how awesome! I am Brazilian and Portuguese. As you know Brazil was part of Portugal for hundreds of years. My family migrated there from Portugal France and Italy on both mum and dad's sides (mostly Portugal though) so I have kept the other nationalities as well. I could swear you were Portuguese, Torres is also common here in Portugal! I used to be a singer years ago, got my music education in NYC in the 90s and I love your videos! I have met Mariah and Whitney back then (not that I was a friend or something) and other artists. I love your reactions on Mariah's music. You know her dad was from Venezuela so she must have some Spanish too. Portugal and Spain are so close, I bet if you research you'd find some Portuguese! :-) I love Brazilian music from decades past, not today's. Huge shout out from Portugal! Please react to ENDLESS LOVE by Mariah and Luther Vandross and also to some of Mariah's first albums. Have you done an Album reaction yet? all the best! Love ur videos keep it up! xoxoxoxo
@@TRAVELZILLA Wow, what a lovely family background. I didn't know that Torres was common in Portugal! I looove Portuguese and have a few brazilian songs in my rep that I do in Portuguese. Wow you used to be a singer!!! You met Mariah and Whitney that is UNBELIEVEABLE. I did not know her father was Venezuelan!!! i'll take a look at your suggestions, I have not done an album reaction yet! I am not sure how to go about it quite honestly, but so happy you're enjoying the videos :) thank you for your comments
@@erikatorresmusic_ ur welcome Erika! Keep it up! When you do an album reaction, please try to react to the first 2 albums, not that many people have reacted to those 2 albums yet. Another suggestion if I may, please try to react to Mariah's b side tracks that no one reviews. Fans would love that! There's got to be a way, So cold, Now that I know, there is a song with insane lyrics and riffs called OUTSIDE, you could react to the raw vocals of it. Also, since you're a jazz singer...you must listen to THE WIND and also the Jazz-ish improvs she does on the ANYTIME YOU NEED A FRIEND (REMIX) she goes Ella Fitzgerald 90s version with the improvisations! Also since xmas is coming...react to Mariah singing with her mum live ( she used to be an opera singer) there is also a song called ONE CHILD (xmas song) she sang live once in front of Maxwell and Annie Lennox who shared the stage with her. Anyway...just sayin' xoxox all the best! keep it up! In Brazil there is a famous beach in the south called Praia de Torres check it out on google! lol have a nice one!

🕊💌🎉
I worked on the show with Cossette Productions and Ron Weisner she wanted stadium echo on her track. We told her it sounded bad.
Omg that is unbelievable 😱😱
@Erika Torres it was awesome to meet and hang out with her but that sounded horrible, and she was trying to make up for her loss in range due to stress and anxiety and depression. But Stevie loves all music

1990 when I saw her first. You were but a twinkle ✨️ in your parents mind.
if u want to gain more views and subscribers i suggest reacting Filipino singers actually i like ur analysis and reactions so yeahhh.
Definitely plan to!!!
You have a beautiful voice, you know how to talk about music and you are beautiful. Are you single too? hehe. Greetings from Brazil. I'm not a professional singer, but I like to sing.
I don't believe it's dubbed/lip synched. This era Mariah still could sing a whole song completely live (well several really) and since it was a tribute to her idol, she probably wouldn't dare fake it :)
Mariah still has the beautiful voice but she can only use it shortly before getting strained, so she spares it quite a lot these days.
This song was Mariah’s first wedding song (to tommy)
Aww didn’t know this!!!
Do you offer singing lessons? 🙂
yes! You can email me at erikatorresrocco@gmail.com
I wanted to enjoy the analysis but it's too much pause.
Idk anything about plants I've killed a damn cactus... 🥲🥲🥲
LOL that makes me feel better
@@erikatorresmusic_ I'm sureee you're doing better than i am, with plants and music😂❤️
Too much pause.. not even 5 seconds .. omg..
Hi,Please, react to Dimash Qudaibergen, who many voice teachers and singers called the best singer in the world. His vocal range is over seven octaves and he can really sing any genre he wants. He started singing and piano lessons when he was five (now he is 27) and he has said he still practice three hours in a day.I'm pretty sure you gonna love him. Please try this: Sinful Passion th-cam.com/video/W9FlDMCo8LU/w-d-xo.html
Try not to stop that much, especially in the end, kinda ruined that end clímax!
Please stop singing after her 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Your reaction about her technic is enough, we don’t need a showcase.
She is reacting and breaking down the song at the same time, if you don't want her videos find other, she is great I learned some of runs, riff and vowels in singing because of her breaking down.
I disagree. The showcase is one of the best parts of this channel imo. Erika is very talented and gives such a clear description of what Mariah is doing.
She's having a commentary on how Mariah interpret the song.
