Someone posted this on FB and I just clicked it on a whim. I watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon all the time...but somehow I missed this episode. Mariah's still got pipes! The Roots and Jimmy are also cool as always. |

Her incessant warbling (melisma) and that of Whitney Houston ruined an entire generation of singers who warble rather than trying to hit the note correctly.
The Voice is a great example of this - most of the singers are totally unlistenable, partly because of the constant melisma in their singing.

There's a couple of sayings I hear a lot when people sing nine notes when one is all they need. It's called "doing a Mariah", or for the older generation, "doing a Stevie Wonder". They should lock those "The Voice" singers in a room and have them listen to Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Perhaps they'll learn when to shut the hell up.

Same goes for bassists, guitarists, saxophonists, etc. The number of notes doesn't matter. You either have it or you don't.

Over-singing has almost become the norm these days. By the way Pilgrim, where's the "melisma" come from?
