Whitney saying “it’s so easy” after hitting a supported and resonant C#5 is so refreshing to hear
To be fair, he could easily have used her to sing every one of those notes. Whitney in her prime could belt like no other and what sets her apart from everyone else is that she sustained those belts from start to finish on pitch perfectly. There’s a reason why she’s The Voice.
@@jobuck879 "he"LMFAO
@@angelgogogo Yes “he” as in the person who posted the video. Reading and comprehension are sorely missed now.
c#5 is still easy for most tenor....for soprano is c6...of course it's easy she said
@@bromoboy for most tenors, a C#5 is the highest their chest voice will go. C5 is still a tough note for females in their chest voice. Whitney makes it look easy to project and support that note as well as she does.
I like the part where you used mariah as an example of bad decent and great
Yeah me too
Agree because not all the time your voice is good condition.
Thank you for being realistic!! Mariah is a great vocalist especially in her prime. Yet she's still human. People can make a compilation of her bad moments yet it doesn't change the fact that she's still a great singer.
@@itssteven4184 Mariah Carey is one of the most Legendary Vocalist of all time #Icon 👸
I don’t. I think all of her belts should be put in bad
So glad to finally see Taeyeon being included in these videos. You can’t include kpop vocalists and not include the nation’s voice!
Beyoncé's belted D5 is crystal clear and resonating
Beyoncé is the only STAR rated vocalist to have debuted in the 21st century: she is always the things you described.
She follows in the foot steps of the greats from the prior century
Whitney, Mariah, and Celine.
Beyoncé is the artist of our generation. ❤ (late 90s kids and beyond)
I know it's probably easy for most of you to recognize all these divas, but as a non pop aficionado, I would be super thrilled if these clips each had a subtitle of who the person is singing, maybe also the song title and year if known.... I can't be the only one who doesn't recognize a non-blonde Celine Dion from 30 years ago, or some random member of a girl group, or a contestant on a talent show I've never heard of, but some of these artists I'd definitely go look up if I knew their names!
tell me which one your interested in! I actually know most of the women in this video and the respected performances. I just love female vocalists😩😍😍
Like that girl with the weird hair that's only chopped off on one side, no idea who she is 😂
@@erivida64 RIHANNA?!!!
@@farahwork2552 Lol Noooo, I know Rihanna, it was a blonde girl.
@@farahwork2552 She's at 4:45 right after Whitney 😂
4:40 Whitney: It's so easy😳😳
I caught the shade too lol
A reminder to everyone watching:
It's OK to like or love imperfect vocals and vocalist. No one is perfect, and tastes are subjective. Don't feel bad about it. This video is to educate people on belting technique. No one sings like Beyonce or Mariah Carey over night.
I think that just shows to you that Black Women are THEE STANDARD.💅🏿
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 Period 👏🏾❤
Exactly, this video is just saying it's wrong musically but doesn't mean it can't sound good. Mariah Carey belt can sound raspy sometimes which is musically wrong but it sounds heavenly
For consistency you should have chosen the most recent performances of Adele, her technique has improved so much
Youre so right at that!!
ARIANA GRANDE IS ARANA GRANDE🥰❤
I know right they I feel like people always be hating on her for no reason she's so good 💯😊😂😅😊❤ especially nowadays 👍
Dude, like I don't get how this channel don't grow fast cause his content is amazing, he's fair to singers (let's say most of the time lol) and only says truth!! I think I'll never regret to be subscribed here
samee at first i was like his content is classic and he just is a fan channel (which he used to be) and we don’t have the same taste at all when it comes to singers nevertheless his opinions are usually so interesting the content he makes is so good. and his livestreams too 😅 they’re so fun. i don’t regret subscribing.
Thank you, it means A LOT!🥰

Lara killed that damn F5, does she ever had a bad note
I knew when I saw Mariah in bad E5, I was like she gonna have the 3, as she should, a queen
I am very happy for Ari, with her new technique that keeps improving, we finna have some great vocals
What is Lara's song?
“Finna” 🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻👩🏼💻👩🏼💻👩🏼💻
@Lara The Ring Fabian thanks
@@loveyall1910 what u mean 💀
Tbh i feel like the f5 lana belted there was a bit shouty
5:08 her voice is unbelievable
That's solar from mamamoo
2:42 oh wow what a moment
That’s Morissette Amon!!💯
The only one I don't agree with is Jessie's E5, all of the others are great examples of good and bad. Amazing job!
I AGREEE she had great power support and vibrato i would put that as yellow or green possibly even I was surprise tbh
It was uncontrolled but vibrato don't mean good actually
@@booms4337 ofc you have vibrato in a " bad " note but that was as good as the yellow one after her no way was that a bad note especially for that song and for jessie it's one of her best attempts ever at that
hers was better than the other 2
I agree ☝️
2:12 *Rushing Resonance* 🌊🚢
4:34 *Booming Resonance* 🌋🔊
7:28 *Soaring Resonance* 💨🐦
*Vocal Trinity FTW;* the combination of admirable technique plus their inherently beautiful instruments & wonderful musicality really gives their notes a lot of quality! They aren't just hitting notes, they are singing them.
Truly in a league of their own ✨
Mariah's note wasn't really resonant like Celines and Whitney's.
Yeah
@@samuelking9497 Nah, it was resonant; the main difference is, their notes were sustained whilst hers was phrased.
@@GarageStudio7 Sure
@@samuelking9497 yeah it was very open and free. But her usual resonance wasn't seen in it
However there's some resonance there unlike the many overly bright but resonance less belts here
Beyoncé, Solar, Ariana, Morissette, Jojo, Son seung yeon, Lara, Ailee and of course Whitney! 🥰👸
- I would love to see Eunji or Hyolyn here as well 😍 Pls take a look at those amazing vocalists! -
Morissette💯
@@prensmaykellv5450 yes
Celine Dion too
Lee Haeri at 7:49 was a great addition as well🔥
Ariana is not the same level as others u’ve mentioned . Btw who is eunji?
Can we please get more Amber Riley! She is a phenomenal singer💙
Her control over her instrument is insane
She's got impressive mastery over her voice but her tone is screechy and unpleasant which is why I could never get into her, not someone I want to hear more from
@@atolm1 She can hit high notes without using that twang. It's more of a style thing
@@atolm1 she is a very high soprano, her voice is naturally very light
@@atolm1 We do not care. Her tone is great.
I love how some of them (like Mariah) can be used for all three examples doing the same note, that's like really insightful and didactic
Ps: I would love if you started analyzing Taylor too - I know she's not the greatest vocalist out there, but blondie has some pretty good vocals, and even her fails would be interesting to see, just like all these others already on the video
Great work as always 🙏🏾❤️
Miley, Beyoncé, Whitney, Gaga and Ariana are my everything in this video 🔥💖✨
Listen to some Symphonic Metal/Rock...they send those popsingers back to school..
@@peterang6912 No, they don't.
@@mikel4531 yes they do...you watch some Nightwish or Epica...
@@peterang6912 I already watched them and no, they don't lol. Try another lie.
@@mikel4531 Is no lie.... but if you want to listen to some autotune singers is your choice...and the fact that i don't see any symphonic rock and Metal singers or even any opera singers, who can belts better then those popsingers...., in all those video's....is making my point....
Very happy yo hear Ailee... One of the best voice I ve ver hear in my entire life, not just hiting super high notes but slaying people hearts since the very beginning 🧡🧡🧡
she's sooo good. More new kpop stans people need to check for her!!
@@MrRuntsix
Absolutely my friend 🧡🧡🧡
The note at 1:14 healed my soul. It is a relatively easy note, but it sounded wonderful nonetheless. She just breathed it out, it was so effortless, powerful and well executed. A very pleasant surprise after the not so pleasant examples that came before
Meanwhile Selena seemed afraid to even "ascend" at 1:30 which is a pity as she can definitely do better if she decides to
Who is this person? Im also searching for her and loved her
@@Curtainstag_e Ailee, such an amazing singer.
Am I the only one who prefers Midbelts over Upper Belts? I don't hate upper belts but they're not the thing that I look for in a performance or a song.
Midbelts will always be more beautiful to me . For upper belts 😬 I can't think of more than 5 singers I enjoy .
@@lydob2471 true...upper belts just don't tell the story for me... it's just a "wow" factor that IS good and enjoyable, but for me doesn't convey much message.
@@charfree6888 it is because most of them are not belts, they are screamed mixd notes....Very few singers actually belt past d5
It has to match with the song. Sometimes upper belts are better than mid belts, and reverse.
@@lydob2471 I sometimes get TIRED of hearing Ariana belt that high because her technique is just not that good.
I LOVE: The Vocal Trinity aka Whitney, Mariah and Celine very much, along with: Beyoncé, Tori, Dinah and Perrie.❤️❤️❤️ l just admire and love these beautiful and talented women so much.❤️❤️
Love your videos. But this time I just want to say my heart is with you, your family and all of your people. I’m so sorry this is happening, and I hope you can find justice and peace soon enough. Stay strong and know you all are in our prayers. Hugs from Mexico!
6:30 JoJo literally carried the same amount of tension than Ariana
???
Right?? And during 8:16 Kelly had way more tension and constriction than Ariana’s before but Ariana’s was “decent” and hers was “great”.. Very strange judgement..
I always love this channel but sometimes he can be biased against Ariana 🥲
@@thatonegirlyouprobablyhate Kelly had a way more balanced mix even tho it was a bit throaty
I'm so surprised Cyndi and Cher were not on this video because each one of them have INSANE vocal techniques.
3:16 that note was heaven, not the best technique but the sound and the resonance + vibrato makes it insanely perfect lol
It is a little raspy
And it is a good tehnique
Istg this channel needs to be deleted
The fact that bad belts of Mariah were still great. And also she's sick in that 1992 Orpah performance.
and the decent one is dubbed with 95 vocals . smdh...
@@odumosuolusegun2781 no it isn't. 95 vocals were more clearer. compared to that Eb5. Tehy sound alike but 1998 was a bit raspy. 1998 year wasnt that bad as people thought it was but it still a tired year for her.
I wouldn't say Whitney was always and each time using a perfectly relaxed sound but one barely notices it because of how heavenly her tone naturally is and how she moves around her voice to connect impossible vocal lines together.
Whitney the greatest vocalist of all time. People need to stop pretending Mariah or Beyoncé are on her level. Her welcome home heroes concert is a vocal masterclass neither of them could pull off even in their prime.
@@corsinivideos stop the hate,no comparison.
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 Last time I checked comparing vocalists was not hate. Nothing in my comment suggests hate. Mariah and Beyoncé are great vocalists too.
@@corsinivideos you,comparing singer's vocal abilities is not a problem.Comparing singers to uplift someone and degrade someone is the problem.If you have nothing to do but hate,then that wouldn't be a fair contrasting/comparison.
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 lol what? Who's being degraded? Saying a singers vocals are not on someone else's level is not degrading. You are making up hate where it doesn't exist. Sorry buddy.
Whitney’s C5 has to be the best, that performance is so spectacular
2:21 celine's sustain note though, omg.
that bad E5 of Mariah is still better than most of the decent belts in this video.
I actually don’t understand why it was bad
True
Amen
4:57 ty for putting her, even tho this C#5 was kinda flat, i hope to see her as an example for great belts bc she is great in mid belts
8:56 I'm surprised that type of approach didn't crack
Can you please include Toni Braxton in your videos more? She has wonderful belts along with nice riffs and runs. Her tone is to die for and she has a very great lower register. When the D5 belt part came on , I was kinda expecting Toni tbh because that’s her money note lol. The way she can make her voice soft and then switch and make it be powerful is my favorite thing. I like singers who use volume control without really moving the mic around.
I second this!
Yeeeeeees!!!
ooh....yesss
Love Toni, but I'd say the D5 belt is Celine's money note. Ngl
@@celiniac multiple people can have the same money note.
in part 3 it would be interesting if you did same thing like what you did with Mariah, put their bad, decent and great moments.
2:14 the resonance
Others are screaming
Whitney is singing
Whitney is too powerful.
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
All 3 of Mariah's E5s sounded above decent to me to be honest. Easily better than the "decent" E5 at 7:41 and the "great" E5 at 7:51.
The first one the vibrato sounded a bit shrill, but the other two sounded great, especially daydream’s but we already knew that
@@jayb.6705 yeah…Daydream…💅💅💅
@@jayb.6705 im pretty sure it was because of the quality of the original video😅
@@unomaster6828 and because it was the oprah show and she had to get up at 5 am and sing
it’s about techniquee
Thanks for including Morissette. The fact that you put her in B4 and F#5 , left from midbelts (B4-E5: her greatest strength) but she still slayed with resonance and power
I think you should consider the fact that not everyone wants to do a chesty belt stylistically. So saying someone has a bad belt when they aren’t even trying to belt isn’t exactly fair. A lot of the examples here were people using different placements to get a particular sound and style not necessarily a show-stopping belt.
2:41 I love that note
That’s Morissette Amon💯
@@prensmaykellv5450 what? No way? I thought it was Miley Cyrus.
@@SuperPianogirl123 it's Mori! It's my first time to see her be mistaken as Miley hahahahahahahaha. The clip is from her Platinum Concert back in 2018 or 2017
I personally feel that some of the ones that sound throatier/scratchier get hype because it sounds like an artistic choice, at least to me. With practise or on a good day the singers listed in the video will probably not have an issue with open belts. At the end of phrases sometimes I prefer to hear a little bit of texture in the voice, instead of a clear open sound all the time. I do it on purpose myself, but I guess one might call it a wrong artistic choice and healthy technique should prevail 😅 but I like how certain singers sound when they sound "throaty", and I find that imperfection sometimes adds more colour to the song. Also I think it would get a little boring if singers sounded perfect and clear all the time. That's what I think :)
I'm glad you put the texts on what's wrong with the decent notes because to my untrained ear, some of the decent notes sound perfectly fine. Enjoyed this vid!
I'm glad that this is the Bb4 you uaed for Ariana 1:43. It's one of my favs from her!
It’s so hard to tell for Mariah because the quality doesn’t go away at all for either. 😭
You should do a video where every artist has a bad, decent, and great belt.
Seeing Patrick stump in that one clip makes me want one of these videos with Male vocalists
Came here to see if anyone else mentioned king Pat, his technique has sure improved a whole bunch post hiatus but I'd love to see a vocal youtuber of some notoriety at least delve into his range (Headfirst Slide from Folie and Twin Skeletons are just ridiculous displays of the male range whEw)
Agree on this at 5:50, it was a tensed D5, a fan considered it resonant but no it's tensed
so hyang just one time??? she has one of the best belting techniques, you should do a video of a vocal analysis of her voice, it's just insane
same
I agree
i love the way u put mori singing a great belt in LM song right after they sang it LMAOO
The part with Mariah as bad, decent and great perfectly shows the difference.
I never see any Jennifer Hudson nor Barbara Streisand
5:47 i think the hype is because of the soul she gave throughout the performance
It’s just unfair how people sleep on Ariana’s mid belts. Y’all only praise her for her upper belts but HAVE YOU HEARD HER MID ONES
Demi completed the assignment well: Bad, Decent, and Great! 😍❤️
Whitney is in her own league but Kelly, Aretha, Celine and Gaga I feel are among the best belters but they gon' have to feature Kelly Clarkson as an honorary Muse if they ever reboot Hercules.
They better lol, that would be epic haha to see her as a muse
No singer on earth has sang like WHITNEY HOUSTON ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel chills listening to Whitney Houston singing
Mariah Carey
@@kaingchhaylong2762 their voices are extremely different and mariah lacks multiple things Whitney’s voice had
i know it’s a lot of work but i would love a quick flash of people’s names with the clip in mega compilations like this bc there are so many amazing singers that i don’t recognize!
edit: just got to the end of the video- much love to you and your family and friends!!!!!
thank you for including morissette amon! 💗💗💗
8:16 that sounds more constricted than Ariana's F5 right before it
Way more😭😭
Yeah I think the creator prefers Kelly 👁👄👁💧
Right why do these white g*ys love Kelly clarkson so much? She got ate up by Ariana multiple times 💀
@@loveyall1910 on many occasions
@@loveyall1910 That's a bit rich considering the biggest percentage of Ariana's fanbase is white gays lol
It's really interesting to me how many of these singers can be using poor technique but still sound quite good.
Whitney Houston was, is, and always will be The Greatest Voice of All.
I love how jojo, a mezzo, is supporting higher than most sopranos. Love her. She's a beast
Guy, sincerely, it is my first time watching your video and I have fallen in love with your video making. This is a great indirect singing lesson for me. Thanks man.......and Jesus loves you!
Morissette & Mariah ♥️
Poor Xtina. I feel like she needs to come with a “this belting was done by an experienced professional. Do NOT try this at home.” disclaimer bc only a select few people have the vocal chords to take all that abuse.😂
Thanks for including Dinah even if it was for a poor example. I'm always gonna defend her honor lol so here is the good version of that same F#5 belt: th-cam.com/video/fyK45hKvG8A/w-d-xo.html
Whitney, Morrisette, Jojo, and Amber!😍😍😍
Morissette!!!💯
This is absolutely true. Christina is built differently. She has no internal organs besides two massive lungs
She can learn from Floor Jansen ( Nightwish) a lot..
morissette did NOT have to eat up jade in her own song like that omg...
Yeah..she didnt it her..she swallowed her!!That RESONANCE!!!
It was actually Jesys part and that was the first time jade did it, so I think she was just nervous, plus they were styled differently. They were both good in their own right, but it is little mix song
True. But that isn't even Jade's note so can we really blame her? It is true that Morissette is far superior to Jade when it comes to belting but let's not act like Jade couldn't slay it in the future.
Right?😭
It’s very nice to see how you take others opinions into account. Keep growing 👏🏻

Morissette Amon can sing anything in many languages and in all genres. You can clearly understand what she's is singing/telling.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING Sohyang as well! She's AMAZING
Whitney, Mariah, Lara
Lara my favorite vocalist
but I wish she was more agile
You should consider doing a video on how great singers come to be.(Like how Mariah's voice was created by a mix of loving music and being raised by a vocal coach/opera singer, or how Ariana was Broadway trained). Essentially like the ratio of luck to natural talent to hard work. It would be cool if you looked into popular reoccurrences in gifted singers' childhoods etc.
Maybe you could dedicate a whole video per singer, like a deep dive into what lead them to become vocals/successful artists. How what they listened to and who trained them influenced their style, technique and what music they sing.
Nicole's C#5 was too tense in my opinion to be "decent". I'm glad to see Haeri!
Great series!!!
Adele's C5 maybe a little pushy but it was nicely resonant
No that was just reverb the vibrato was too tense to be resonant
naaah, it was to tense to be resonant
It sounded great before the vibrato
Adele’s C5s are excellent
She can’t have resonance while she’s pushing….
5:10 sounds throaty to me
Sounds ok to me
Maybe a little bit, but it was pretty open and free
@@arturoaguilar4774 She has way better attempts. That one was quite throaty. Her vowel shaping is still fairly good, though.
i love how this video shows how the exact same singer can be placed in both the “bad” and “great” categories. singing is not always 100% all the time, y’all. everybody has their good and _not so good_ days. 💁♀️
It's cool that singers are more diverse now :) (like Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus 👍)
Lara´s F5 is so ridiculously resonant and ringing that it sounds like an F6
1:52 but still beautiful
I mean this is a good video for giving examples of the notes
Man 4:05 sounds so good!
So excited to see Morrissette Amon included ♥
I don't know why this type of video exists?
If we're going to compare belters, let's at least explain which types of belting the singers are using and which maneuvers they use in vocal techniques.
Because between Jessie J's and Christina Aguilera's belting, they are different, to access them we need to do a different maneuver.
We cannot exclude different sounds by saying that it was poorly executed.
Just because it's not the standard sound. Let's open our horizon to new sonic possibilities!!!
Because what looks different is probably not wrong, Just Different!
5:32 im glad you put lady gaga's gypsy as best d5 belt😍
Why did the G5 example you put at 00:22 instantly bring Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance into my mind
I was very surprised to see SOLAR from MAMAMOO in this video but she is just amazing
One of the best belters amongst kpop idols,i'm really proud of how she's improving overtime when other members got issues lately
LOVED IT 💙💙💙
But I have a suggestion. For Jade, I would've recommended using her F#5 from the Apple Music Festival because that is the exact one she's lipsyncing to in this clip you chose.
The most beautiful note I heard here was christina’s at disney’s anniversary! Her voice is on the money! Keep technique for savings as longs as bad one still gives you a career even after 25 years! Right??
As a singer I really hope to sing an f5 like the one at 8:37 one day as for now notes above d5 are all in the “bad” category for me they’re risky and unsupported
I think she did that with the curbing and hold technique I’m not sure tho
Edit: I HAVE to mention this Sohyang is a legend
Natalie Weiss as a great belted G5 is dreams. She is so technically skilles
You need to put Anggun here! She is the best contralto so far
The thing with Mariah and Christina is even at their worst, their tone for me still sounds good.
Loved seeing Dinah even though it wasn't her best lol
I’ve watched almost every show from the 7/27 tour and this was like her worst versions of that note. Most of them were a lot better but I’m not bothered lol I think stans take these videos way too personally when they’re just meant to be bad examples not saying the artist can’t sing.
@@iosashes2087 I'm not bothered either, I was just saying I was finding it humorous to be glad to see Dinah on one of these videos but the example being shown wasn't one of her best moments
