I was confused on how you were rating precision? What is precision in music? Is it how a performer starts their run or is it something else? Thank you for this video and I hope you write back.
As a harmonizer, camila's runs and riffs were always annoying af. She's been adding them EVERYWHERE, to EVERY song, EVERY performance always. And they are annoying just to listen. But Dinah is just WOW.
Mariah Carey is simultaneously one of the best things and one of the worst things to ever happen to pop music. The problem is, she was SO good that everybody else started trying to sing like her. And they can't. She's a one-in-a-billion talent.
Could not have put it better myself. She set the bar waaayyy too high. If this were a video game, all her skills and stats would be through the roof that you'd think she was a hacker. Everyone tries to emulate, but none can duplicate.
@@fabiansw9331 exactly. If you listen to a song like "Heartbreaker", baby girl is really ad libing from start to finish. She's literally singing non-stop from start to finish. You have the lead vocal, her veering off the lead vocals to do riffs and runs AND the accompanying adlibs & backing vocals in the background....... yet it doesn't feel like it's too much. That's because, unlike most singers, Mariah really strives to be one with the music. She never wants to sound as if she's in competition with the body of music she's singing. She truly gets into a song and makes it so that each note sounds as if it's meant to be there. That is truly what sets her apart from the vast majority of other singers. In my personal opinion the only others who stand with her as being Supreme vocalist who understand how to truly sing a song would be Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. Aretha, Mariah and Whitney have a level of musicality that I have never heard from another singer, regardless of how talented those other singers may be. They usually lack musicality and that is what sets Mariah-no-middle-name-Carey apart from everyone else in this video.
@@13579hee OMG YES!!! The whole Butterfly album... the ad-libs in Breakdown, Babydoll, The Roof were RIDICULOUS ...they had melodies of its own but they always stayed connected & never strayed far off from the actual lead chorus' tunes. Ive found Brandy to be pretty good too... always found her pleasant to listen to.
What I call bad musicality is a singer interrupting their own song. That's how it feels. It's like they're saying "Hold on a min for me to do these unnecessary notes real quick". If you're doing it right it doesn't feel that way. It'll compliment the song instead of interrupt it
Bad musicality leads to oversinging.Because you are improvising at the wrong timing.Its the reason why mariah sounds pleasant because she has musiciality and knows where to improvise and not go out of pitch
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 YES, that's such a great way to put it!! I hate to see my favorites in concert, anticipating them playing a specific song...only for them to RUIN it with unnecessary ad libs.😩😮💨😒
I'm so glad you added "musicality" to this. There are so many people who are great singers but they have no musicality. This is truly what sets Mariah apart from the vast majority of the singers in the world. The thing that made Mariah, Whitney and Aretha the greatest singers of all time and their musicality. It was simply unmatched. They knew how to compliment a song.
wow, did not expect to see Wendy here :o guess it means that run at the end of RBB really is one of the more complex runs, she did so good. thanks for including her!!
Mariah has perfect pitch and perfect pitch memory, saw a bunch of live acapella mini vids during the pandemic, she sounds EXACTLY the same as the record... Perfect tempo, pitch, everything! It's insane to witness! You could play the record along the acapella performance and she doesn't miss a beat!
I think the longer a run is, the harder it is to maintain the musical structure of the song and make it sound in place, but the ones who do it well sound like... beyond amazing.
love that wendy had improved by the second clip. it's definitely a difficult run and i love how she tries her best every time. she's a great singer but it just shows there's ALWAYS room for improvement. stan red velvet
Mariah, Jojo and Tori’s runs are so fast and crisp they sound autotuned, their musicality always make their runs sound like a must-do in their songs, not like an oversing
I'm sorry but neither JoJo nor Tori Kelly have the musicality of a Mariah Carey. They literally do too many runs and and they often dont compliment the song. There's a reason she doesn't sing like them. She knows that it's too much and will overshadow the body of Music. Mariah never wants to sound like she's competing against the music nor does she want to sound as if the music is simply ornamental in the background or something overpowering her..... she strives to be one with the body of music and you can tell.
@@13579hee I’m not saying their musicality is equal to each other, I’m saying their musicality share a common ground where it never cause them to oversing, at least in my taste, of course Mariah would eclipse them both, they both struggled with her songs
Céline is also great, whether it's belting, head-voice or normal chest voice her runs and riffs are always very sleek, and she can do them live even at 50 years old.
@@hihiwitchi I agree, Camila's voice doesn't suit in the group. It's not that its overpowering the other girls but she just doesn't blend with them. I dont know if she don't want to blend or she just simply isn't made to be in the group. She is better as a solo artist.
Am I the only one that feels embarrassed whenever they miss a note, or go flat at the end? I can't even being to imagine what it must feel like doing it yourself in front of hundreds and thousands of people. I would vanish into a cloud of shame.
Madison has sloppy runs but I'm surprised at the power her voice has. She has potential she just needs to train her breathing and pitch. It's refreshing to see her not have tons of reverb and autotune in her live performances.
I’ve said this numerous times but what separates Mariah from Beyoncé is that while they are both riffing every other word, Mariah managed to do it subtly and when it’s more showy, there’s something creative like the use of non-western scales or chromaticism
I love how Dinah came in and saved 5H with her perfect agility on all I want for Christmas is you lol also “demi won’t get that much hate” yikes cus I feel like they were done dirty lol I did not think their get back run was bad honestly? That’s how it sounds in studio lol I love who you choose for the clips tho. Another great video!
I know you do primarily pop music but I’d love to see you explore some gospel/RnB specifically for runs because that’s where the money is at. A lot of pop singers are inspired by RnB singers for their musicality (like Tori and Ari) and I’m interested to see how you’d analyze more ppl like brandy and Keke wyatt who made an appearance in this video.
Tori is not really a pop singer to begin with. She’s more soul/RnB/gospel and has always credited gospel singers in teaching her how to sing as a child, which is why she sings the way she does-very soulful and gospel-esque even before she dropped the gospel album.
@@JO-tw5yd I think In her later years from like the mid 90s to late 2000s her runs were a lot better and more agile but sadly they always get overlooked by the over rated performances
I think a great male singer that has runs almost as same level as Tori Kelly is Scott Hoying from Pentatonix. He should really have been included but overwise great video 🥰
Really enjoy this video! Question tho: Do you know of Jasmine Sullivan? She’s the textbook definition of flawless agility. Definitely on Tori and JoJo’s level
06:59 C'mon... This deserved MORE than the perfect score. It's incredible : inhumanly fast, perfect pitch and precise af. It's so incredible that sounds autotuned
i mean, for demi, they definitely have some messy runs, but i think based on what ive seen from them post 2020, theyve seemed to have improved a good amount
i like how you were extremely fair and showed multiple clips and runs! sometimes, the artists are just having a bad performance (and sometimes it just wasnt very good at all but thats an argument for another day)
Because this video was made to highlight white/pop artist. Beyonce was only added to say that wasn't the case, and she's the it black girl. Throw the whole video and commentator in the trash
Great video! Tori, Keke, Jessie, Mariah, Jojo and Brandy's runs are insane! Also thank you so much for watching my video and using some newer clips for Jessie J :)
I love the fact that you used Natalie Weiss for both bad and good run at the beginning. No wonder I see arguements for her being the best vocalist out there ❤️❤️
Celine Dion's run of "helppppp" could murder careers Bey,Tori and jessie are hands down the queen of runs Idc if Demi's runs sound bad to some because I think they are quite amazing
Mariah's lead the way runs be like: +++ Pitch +++ prescision +++ musicality. Thankfully it didnt showed up it would end everyone career and their runs and riffs.
@@libertass Actually I give her props for ambition, the runs she attempts are Whitney/Celine style runs that incorporates multiple high chested belts above E5. It sounds like Demi focuses too much on high notes and not quality runs. Celine, Whitney and Kelly Clarkson are the only mainstream artists I’ve heard able to sustain rapid chesty belts that high.
@@Sloppyjoey1 I used to love demi (my taste in music has now changed) and I've always thought she is a strong belter but a very weak riffer. I understand she is inspired by many of her icons that are great riffers (eg Xtina) but she has to understand she is not there and she doesn't have to be. Especially that "ain't no other man" intro-style run she does every time SO unsuccessfully. She destroys the performances with such runs. Not everyone can pull out anything and one must know their limits.
watching this out of curiousity and Wendy from red velvet appearing in this is kinda shocked me. lmaooo thank you for including her in this, i dont know why i am thanking but atleast i saw her on some random videos.
Demi still has a bit of issues with their jaw movements, but those have improved because they've begun to mix, which lightens their tone. And singers with light voices naturally possess a lot of vocal agility. Demi is improving! (their riffs and runs in Dancing with the Devil, the song, are the hardest they’ve ever done in their career, after You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore, and they literally nail the runs live (so far, they haven’t made any major mistakes live this year concerning agility)
@@aintnootherfan Hi! I'm so sorry, I realised I made the same mistake when I just reread my comment... please do use they/them for Demi cuz they identify as non-binary.
Anyone who understands music understands that musicality is what really makes a star. Being able to make things up on the go and on pitch and in a pattern that makes sense musically and not just a show of strength or talent.
TBH, even if she didn't get a perfect rating, the run I was most excited to hear here was Perrie's. She's never been much of a riffer, so seeing her go all for it was absolutely awesome!
Many of them are very good and the rest have had their good moments but Mariah is definitely out of this world. As for the k-pop girl, is kind of unfair considering she’s most likely dancing. She actually did quite well.
Mariah Celine Jojo Jessie J Halle Bailey Blue Cantrell Brandy Beyonce Morissette Don't know the guys but amazing job, wasn't expecting little mix or red velvet but they killed it too
i was kind of surprised when I saw red velvet lmao. but I love that u included them. i also know that in kpop they don’t rly do much runs. or at least I haven’t seen anyone who does it well

it's so refreshing to see demi's improvement and same with ari. proud of them gyals
How did Brandy aka vocalbible just get a glimpse second! At least more! Her runs/riffs are unmatched!
Because this video was made to highlight white/pop artist. Beyonce was only added to say that wasn't the case, and she's the it black girl. Throw the whole video and commentator in the trash
Great video! Tori, Keke, Jessie, Mariah, Jojo and Brandy's runs are insane! Also thank you so much for watching my video and using some newer clips for Jessie J :)
THANK YOUUUUUU. These are the top riff runners.🤌🏾✨ NOOOOOO body else.
Mariah with her daughters
Ari, Tori and Jojo 💕
JoJo.. Beyonce.. Tori.. Brandy.. 🤩WOW
Mariah... 👁️👄👁️OMG
6:32 literally the voice of a princess
I like the new grading system. It's easy to pay attention to both:)
I love the fact that you used Natalie Weiss for both bad and good run at the beginning. No wonder I see arguements for her being the best vocalist out there ❤️❤️
Celine Dion's run of "helppppp" could murder careers
Bey,Tori and jessie are hands down the queen of runs
Idc if Demi's runs sound bad to some because I think they are quite amazing
Seeing little mix here was perfection,
These girls can sing sing
Seeing red velvet here made me so happy. I rlly hope Wendy improves on her vocal skills and techniques so she can become an even better vocalist
Mariah's lead the way runs be like:
+++ Pitch
+++ prescision
+++ musicality.
Thankfully it didnt showed up it would end everyone career and their runs and riffs.

Am I A JOKE TO YOU...???
Literally every song!!!
Demi’s runs always start out 🔥 and then they crash and 🔥 💀
Her runs have always been sloppy and in the wrong moments
@@libertass Actually I give her props for ambition, the runs she attempts are Whitney/Celine style runs that incorporates multiple high chested belts above E5. It sounds like Demi focuses too much on high notes and not quality runs.
Celine, Whitney and Kelly Clarkson are the only mainstream artists I’ve heard able to sustain rapid chesty belts that high.
@@Sloppyjoey1 I used to love demi (my taste in music has now changed) and I've always thought she is a strong belter but a very weak riffer. I understand she is inspired by many of her icons that are great riffers (eg Xtina) but she has to understand she is not there and she doesn't have to be. Especially that "ain't no other man" intro-style run she does every time SO unsuccessfully. She destroys the performances with such runs. Not everyone can pull out anything and one must know their limits.
@@libertass Lol😆🤣🤦🏽
I gotta say, when you talk about runs, you can’t go wrong with Mariah, Brandy, or Keke Wyatt
I'd add Jasmine Sullivan to that list as well
@@LVLiiv I totally agree with this
I'll add Beyoncé to the list
watching this out of curiousity and Wendy from red velvet appearing in this is kinda shocked me. lmaooo thank you for including her in this, i dont know why i am thanking but atleast i saw her on some random videos.
2:45
This guy's having the time of his life
You should make this a series. I'd love to see more tori kelly and Beyoncé runs
That Céline's run in Because You Loved Me performance wasn't that bad. I think it just lacked precision.
It was one of her downgrade moment
@@badbada3003 not at all
MARIAH BREATHS MUSIC. PERIODT!!
I got absolute chills at 4:14 after the "jesus" like omg Tori is an angel
This is ONE EPIC video! Thank you
Also, so happy to see JoJo in this!!
Demi still has a bit of issues with their jaw movements, but those have improved because they've begun to mix, which lightens their tone. And singers with light voices naturally possess a lot of vocal agility. Demi is improving! (their riffs and runs in Dancing with the Devil, the song, are the hardest they’ve ever done in their career, after You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore, and they literally nail the runs live (so far, they haven’t made any major mistakes live this year concerning agility)
She's definitely improving!
@@aintnootherfan Hi! I'm so sorry, I realised I made the same mistake when I just reread my comment... please do use they/them for Demi cuz they identify as non-binary.
@@aintnootherfan i know you just commented to try to be sneaky about misgendering demi🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃♀️you are not subtle
@@13gudadod I thought I was the only one that noticed that
@@13gudadod you're right, he did this before. He does not like demi at all
For me it’s Mariah, Tori, Beyonce, and Brandy!!
Also the Naruto shippuden blue bird op music in the background gave me life
2:39 My reaction was literally this emoji 😳 I'm sorry camila
Dinah saved the day though, but 2:49 is hilarious to me as well, I was like why did you feel the need to add that FLAT run there
Riffs are vocal embellishments that communicate emotions from the singer to the hearers. So it should be used just at the right time. Thanks for this.
I love how you make a point to include little mix whenever you make videos based vocal ability!!
Atleast someone can recognize the talent they have ❤
Dinah fucken slayed she is such a queen she is so underrated hope she will be successful one day
@@takemyhand1988 she really is she is incredibly under rated she deserves to be as successful as camila
@@sarahkate5010 oh sorry. I thought you were talking about demi
@@takemyhand1988 oh no it’s all g Demi is very popular Dinah Jane is so talented yet so under rated
Tori’s gospel-esque runs though 😩 Got me doing stank faces all the time
Celine Dion is known for sustaining her notes but she can do riffs & runs. Queen Celine Dion !! 🥰💜
Anyone who understands music understands that musicality is what really makes a star. Being able to make things up on the go and on pitch and in a pattern that makes sense musically and not just a show of strength or talent.
the 3+++ for Tori's precision! PERIOD.
TBH, even if she didn't get a perfect rating, the run I was most excited to hear here was Perrie's. She's never been much of a riffer, so seeing her go all for it was absolutely awesome!
Mariah as the queen of riff and runs
Natalie Weiss is a national treasure
Yeah
Queen Vocalist Mariah Carey! The perks of writing your own material and fitting your voice so no one can sing it other than herself.
Steve Macky and Avery Wilson... Just woaw. No word. I screamed right on the street, can't believe how talented those two are
Many of them are very good and the rest have had their good moments but Mariah is definitely out of this world.
As for the k-pop girl, is kind of unfair considering she’s most likely dancing. She actually did quite well.
Little Mix, Natalie and Morisette were very good, but Celine and Mariah took the cake!
JoJo’s precision is masterful ✨
Mariah Celine Jojo
Jessie J Halle Bailey
Blue Cantrell Brandy
Beyonce Morissette
Don't know the guys but amazing job, wasn't expecting little mix or red velvet but they killed it too
i was kind of surprised when I saw red velvet lmao. but I love that u included them. i also know that in kpop they don’t rly do much runs. or at least I haven’t seen anyone who does it well
