Vocal Type: Lyric Soprano (but she says she's a contralto)
Vocal Range: 5 octaves 2 notes and a semitone, E2-G#7
Whistle: yes
Vocal Strengths:able to go from a crystal clear, high octave belt to an airy whisper
within the space of a word. Has gorgeous low and high notes that are
complimented by an uncanny ability to pitch an exact note without the
need of vocal runs. When Vocal runs are utilised by Mariah Carey they
are incredibly accurate and always sympathetic to the song's key
signature, tempo and style, thus giving her the moniker the "Queen of
melisma". It's a skill that can be utilised in each of the registers, as
well as travelling through them. Technically a brilliant singer. Mariah Carey's low range is dark and heavy.
Vocal Weaknesses: As Mariah Carey has aged the higher belted notes- above a C5- have
become coarser and harder to maintain for extended periods of time. The
lower notes are also pushed, meaning an unhealthy technique is used to
reach them.
LOVE Mariah!
