- Note by note comparison of Whitney and Mariah's belting range in their 40s, which for Whitney is 2003-2012 and for Mariah is 2009-2019. Please don't take this as too much of a competition. It's really more of a showcase of how great they both still were so late into their careers.
For those wondering why I didn't choose better notes in some cases, I tried to avoid relying on once in a blue moon performances like Beacon 2014 for Mariah. I could have easily gotten better Bb4s, B4s, and Eb5s from Beacon but it seemed more accurate to feature a wide variety of clips. Also, the one 2009 clip I used for Mariah's E5 was in her very early 40s but so was Whitney's 2004 clip. Mariah has a couple clips here where she's pushing 50 too.

Ngl when she was in good health during the time, Whitney sounded great in her 40s
I think they both ate when everyone said they wouldn’t tbh ❤❤❤
period
Omg yes so many doubted their voices during this time 😭
mariah just takes the cake this time, i feel bad for Whitney, RIP!!
Whitney Houston had EMPHYSEMA!🙄
@@livinia296 what's your point? I feel bad for her condition, that's what I am trying to say.
That D5 Whitney hit!!! So clear and powerful for that era! The moments when her voice cleared up you realize that she didn't lose as much range as we thought. If we had the chance to experience her voice when she stopped smoking cigarettes I think we would be pleasantly surprised. And she had better moments in the later years than displayed here, btw.
I’m pretty surprised with that D5 it was pretty powerful
0:58 is just unreal and unbeatable
SO REAL 👸🏻 MARIAH IS THE GOAT
Mariah's musicality will never fade.
Whitney’s musicality will never fade away. ❤
@@marieljackman1850 .Carey has a more beautiful timbre than Whitney. Mariah's voice is more beautiful with a clear sound,whitney is a typical black voice like many..
@@barbara24824mariah is shouting and nothing special
@@barbara24824: the word "beautiful" is subjetive, so that's not a fact. What is a fact is that Whitney always ranks higher than Mariah on every list of the best singers of all time.
Whitney's tone was the best ever, the most beautiful ever! Mariah's whispery, airy, nasal, souless and robotic voice was/is annoying most of the time.
@@andrese9805 Your feedback is invalid. Mariah is ranked 1st by ratings. Whitney is not in the bull's-eye. Whitney's voice is similar to the voices of other black people, with an ugly timbre, she screams rather than sings. Like a lamb bleating,And drugs that gave strength,Then she lost her voice,People whistled at concerts. She didn't compose any songs. She was worse than Mariah.
Wow Whitney's Eb5 1:16 sounded like prime Whitney imo.
Yes that Eb5 caught me off guard? Where is that from? Lol
@@onedollarbleach6891if I told you that in 2004
If Whitney Houston has no addiction, she is still good at singing. Her voice was literally destroyed by drugs, smoke, and alcohol. But at the end of that, no one can still replace her prime. She is still the best among the other's and inspired a lot of singers like me and for the future singers too. I love Mariah Carey's voice It's unique, with airier and whisperer sounds. But when it comes to Whitney Houston my hands is hands down. Stop comparing these to legendary diva because they're both different in all aspects.
What ? You are funny 😂
My opinion on these clips:
Α4: Whitney
Bb4: Whitney
B4: Mariah
C5: Mariah
C#5: Mariah
D5: Whitney
Eb5: Whitney
E5: Mariah
F5: Tie
Choices
Both slayed 💅. 2017riah was extremely resonant btw
Mariah has no resonance , so using extreme yo define what she is doing is sad and illiterate
@@odumosuolusegun2781mariah clearly did have resonance as early as her debut you are under every mariah video hating while youre clearly illiterate mariah during debut and musicbox had a clear ring and resonant belts
@@lukaradulovic446 she had zero resonance. Those are just mic amplification. A resonant sound must have spin. She does not have it.
My opinion:
A4: Whitney
Bb4: Mariah
B4: Mariah
C5: Whitney
C#5: Mariah
D5: Mariah
Eb5: Mariah
E5: Whitney
F5: Mariah
1:07 OMG which Whitney show was this?
Great video since nobody actually makes those versus on their 30's and 40's 🙌🔥
A4 : Whitney more rounded
Bb4 : Whitney the vibrato but Mariah did geat
B4 : Mariah clear and timbre
C5 : Mariah by far
C#5 : Whitney or Tie because it dépends of what you like( vibrato or phrased)
D5 : Mariah supported and easy
Eb5 : Mariah by far
E5 : Tie
F5 : Mariah more control
This is my opinion:
A4 - Whitney
Bb4 - Mariah
B4 - Tie
C5 - Mariah
C#5 - Mariah
D5 - Whitney
Eb5 - Mariah
E5 - Whitney
F5 - Mariah
Bb4: Whitney
B4: Tie. Whitney’s note separation was better and more intricate line but Mariah has better timbre and clarity
C5: Mariah
C#5: Whitney
D5: Tie
Eb5: Whitney by only a little bit
E5: Whitney
F5: Mariah easily
Overall, such a sad time for Whitney :(
Mariah’s dexterity obviously declined, but she always kept her original timbre to the voice. Whitney you would never even be able to tell she was tonally the same person from her prime to the 40s. R.I.P
Mariah Carey is great
But
Whitney Houston is THE GOAT
None of these were lipped tho
None of these clips are lipped
Lol it's this guy who claims whitney outsold Mariah in voice and discography 😭
@@Swahili14 okay as you wish babe 😘
@@Swahili14you need the psych ward
Another great video and whitney wasn't bad at all❤❤
Whitney's voice wasn't "damaged", It was inflamed, so whenever she started caring for her voice, her voice could easily go back to how it was in the late 90s.
I agree. Only about 10-20% of her loss of range was due to aging I think. If she took good care of her voice she could still belt up to F#5 no problem even in the 2000s.
Strange why you didn’t use any video of Mariah Angels Advocate tour
I was tempted to but those are very early 40s (literally 40 years old) for Mariah, and most of the Whitney clips I used are from her late 40s, so I didn’t think it would be fair if I relied too much on MOAIA
0:45 performance plssss
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/R3I7la5et5E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hv1wjEY6JrXZHX-2
A4- Whitney
Bb4- Whitney. The richness and vibrato
B4- Tie
C5- Mariah
C#5- Whitney. That Vibrato
D5- Whitney. That Vibrato and Tone and Support
Eb5-Whitney
E5-Whitney. Mariah has better E5s
F5-Mariah. But both were bad. Whitney was worse
Mariah's voice was more intact, but I still think Whitney's overall ability was more intact on a good day - she still had vibrato and flexibility throughout her full chest range. Overall though, Mariah was more pleasant to listen to for sure.
Better tone on Mariah’s side in this case
imo
A4: Whitney
Close but Whitney's sustain takes the cake
Bb4: Whitney
Perfect belt tbh
B4: Mariah
The power!!
C5: Tie
Both really powerful
C#5: Whitney
I like that vibrato
D5: Whitney
Similar but Whitney's projection was better
Eb5: Mariah
That growl ate + Whitney was kinda unstable-ish?
E5: Tie
Again, really similar!!
F5: Mariah
More clear
Did you hear the resonance of the c#5 of mariah ?
I would say C#5 goes to mariah
@@aymenakabusiness631 Mic amplification and sweetener not resonance..sadly you do not know the difference. Whitney takes C#5 Mariah takes the C5
Mariah
Idols
Sorry but whitney is a mess in those clips... This is yelling, not singing. She once had a good voice but mariah always had the better more warmer and more versatile voice. And mariah is a true artist and not just a singer.
True, but it seems like Whitney fans don’t want to acknowledge this, Whitney literally shouts with the mic on the mouth, Mariah always have a good distanced of the mic 🎤 and she still delivers powerful 1:03 but well some people are blind and deaf…
Mariah was born In 1969
Whitney was in 1963😊
Whitney completely lost her voice in that era
It would be almost unfair to use Mariah's ABC Christmas Special concert in this video.
Both of their voices are very damaged here. Mariah somehow manages to have a clearer sound, so she wins. Whitney had a lung disease, though.
Whitney
Boffffffffffummmmmmmmm
great video
A4- whitney. Mariah sounds very tiny
Bb4-Whitney, very healthy easy note and she could hold it forever. Mariah is good too
B4- Mariah Clean clear centred. Whitney raspy
C5- Mariah by far. Whitney had frog in her throat
C#5- Whitney by far. Better execution. Belt to phrased note all in one breath. Mariah easy , straight note and too short
D5- Whitney but Mariah also killed dthat note
Eb5- Mariah cleaner WhitneY MORE POWER BUT MORE EFFORT
E5- Whitney, both are a struggle but Mariah is more strained and just one simple If note.
F5/ F#5- bOTHE A RDICULOUS MESS, tIE.
Whitney tone i more beautiful but less helthy
Mariah was born in 70’ daaaahling. She was in her 40’s from 2010-20 lol
She was actually born in 69, but her company profiled her as 1970 to make her seem younger. It was actually a mystery for a long time until a local newspaper with her birth announcement was found
@@butterdream Really? I’ve heard about this rumor but tbh I never believed it bc it seems Mariah acknowledges it herself. In her old interviews when asked her age it would correspond w her being born in 70. Ig she could be lying but I don’t understand why they would lie by just one year. Is there a link to the news article?
@@butterdreamwhat I don’t get tho is why Pat said in 1999 on Oprah that Mariah was born in 1970.
@@onedollarbleach6891 nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=lir19690410-01.1.15&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- if you look at the "recent births" column under March 27 there's Mariah's name listed w/ her parents
@@danielrushjr.5788 I think it's mainly a publicity thing, like the diff between being born in 1999 and 2000 I guess. Like it sounds way younger to be a 70s kid than a 60s kid, just like being a 2000s kid makes you sound younger than a 90s kid. Anyway I think the company probably told Pat to lie during the interview.
they both sound a mess here. don't think these clips were accurate representations of their 40s
There were better Mariah clips...
Whitney always, 99% sang live, ok?
So? All the clips here are live from both of them
Not really, Oh Holy Night was prerecorded, the Emotions intro was prerecorded as well, and I'll be there at MJ funeral was dubbed.
@@andrese98051:14 You call this prerecorded? Like hell it is
@@butterdream Stop . You know this are not all live. You are better than this. Stop
Even at Whitney's worse vocals she was more powerful than Mariah
Debatable because this ain’t Whitney’s worst, 2012 was, couldn’t even get any notes out
So you didn’t see the video, Mariah sing powerful 1:03 Whitney was shouting with the Mic on the mouth 0:40, Mariah never put her mic that close
@@Shinespheres Why are lambs so illiterate??? Mic settings for every singer is unique to them because of the type of vice they would want to sing with. Please try and educate yourself. Learn about compression. Stop being an illiterate lamb. A lot of you are.
If wHITNEY SANG WITH Mariah's mic, she would have to hold the mic further from her mouth. Whitney sings with a lot of dynamics, volume control. Something that Mariah never could do... Their mic settings are very different.
Mariah is better has beautiful voice.Whitney only strong.
That was certainly not the only thing that whitney had! She had a piercing head voice, a nice sounding vibrato, and also had that velvet tone when singing.
