  • This is my reaction, analysis and breakdown of Mariah Carey’s great performance of her hit song Make it Happen, Live Madison Square Garden 1995 from her iconic album “Emotions,”. This high energy performance featured some powerful mixed belts, bouncy phrasing, and some lovely runs. You can hear in the way she articulates each phrase that this is a bouncy pop song. I love the way she accents certain notes, and clips many of them rather than making the phrases long and connected.
    I really enjoy Mariah’s performance and the energy she brings to this song. There’s so much happiness in her face as she’s singing and dancing, obviously having fun. LOVING the gospel choir and the great sounds we’re getting. She’s super bright and forward but not too nasally.
    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!

    This was live but this performance was dubbed, however whats crazy is the undubbed version was basically EXACTLY the same, in fact many consider the undubbed version of this performance her best performance in her career due to her stamina, breath control, agility, resonance, and power she displayed in the performance and making it ALL SEEM EFFORTLESS.

Some might hate, how you chop up the video, but I love how you not only dissect all the nitty gritty details, but are even able to reproduce and demonstrate them! (and I’m such a fresh way). I love when analysts can actually do what they are talking about. Looking forward to more!

    Btw her belts at minute 14:00 are belts not head voice, shes just sooo resonant up there she makes it sound like that. She hit an F5 with those belts tho, if it were head voice it wouldnt be nowhere near as powerful, being as she has hit F5s in head voice and it doesnt sound like that, nobody can make their head voice sound that strong lol.

    This live was dubbed for some parts but the crazy thing is....the undubbed is literally much better than this. I don't get why they did dubbing for certain parts.
    Look at the undubbed (it's available on here) it's incredible!! The agility, tone, stamina and resonance was A1.
    Mariah + choir = unbeatable 🔥

    • @RedyyChuu

      @@RedyyChuu
      Right, I think so too.
      Most of the time it's little sections that are dubbed for her (not the entire song) and it's for many different reasons.
      Haters are always using it as some joke or to say she can't sing live. That's not the case. She has many perfect live performances.
      1. Her songs are harder than anybody else's. I'd like to see them and their fav nail her arrangements to the T time after time (&she's had those annoying nodules since the start) 🙄
      2. Sometimes she would hit her notes but she was really raspy (nodules)..so she cleaned it up a bit. But she SANG.
      3. Poor audio needs to be cleaned up before using sh*t commercially. She's not the only one who did it/ who's doing it.

    I actually prefer her earlier versions of this power ballad during the debut & _Emotions_ era when she was explosive with sheer power & energy.
    She's more refined throughout the mid-90s.
    There's one raw footage in black and white showing her singing the "unsingable" _Lead the Way_ melisma. There are also some breakdown videos showcasing the notes she pushed out with the complexity & speed.

    Yes its Dubbed like every dvd release anyway but they overdid it at 90s with the polish.. they didn't changed too many things but they polished the sound,the normalized the sounds,killed some crowd yelling etc.. I don't like dubbing and polishing cause everytime they do that they kill bits of the soul of the performance... those tiny imperfection that makes the live performance so magical. the raw footage exists and its or par if not even better than the dvd version ofc the quality of the sound is not that good... for example at vision of love she did it 2 times cause the messed the ending and afterwards at the editing they took the best parts of the 2 performances and made a perfect one.. this concert is one of her most perfect of her career cause she knew that she could re done everything if she wanted.. it was a concert for making a dvd.thats why she is relaxed and confident. and ofc she was at her peak of her voice and career. but I miss that her voice became very bright and whiter than her earlier years. i think she is more relaxed,confident and sure about her uper belts but her tone for my taste is not that good like at her first 2 years of her career.. not dark and soulful still beautiful in a different way though. Great analysis as always! Great stuff!

I think it's the song with the highest note in all o Mriah's audios so maybe I just ask a lot. Ever when I hear it her voice is so clear and powerful that I immediately lower the sound.
