I actually agree with Rocket Love. But you have to give Mariah Carey some credit, Emotions is a hard song to do. Looking at her live performance at Arseno. Yes, she did good. But one word: STRAINING! It's painful to watch actually. It's almost like she had to upped her voice.

How well either can sing live is completely irrelevant to the question. It's asking which song you prefer, and I think "Loving You" is horrible, so went with Mariah.

Um no, it's asking which high notes between the two do you prefer.

I was reading the question, which asks "Both of these gals reach really high notes in their #1 smashes, which do you prefer?".

And honestly, Mariah straining in 1991? Y'all give too much weight to details.

I'm not saying that she didn't do good. She did EXCELLENT. But you don't feel kinda painful looking at her performance, esp at the bridge and afterwards? Well, that was my take though. Still, her voice is incredible nonetheless :)

Mariah didn't strain once in the Arsenio performance.

I've seen that performance a million times and have never seen any strain.

I didn't mean to say she strained. I meant her singing was very straining in that performance. I've seen her other performances of Emotions from VMA to TOTP, and they seem to be the same. It's a very high and difficult song to sing. Which is why I can see why Rocket Love said she had some difficulty, its a tough song to sing and I honestly believe only Mariah can sing it that well. Well, that's just my take. Maybe its just the audio quality

"Loving You" is a classic. It gets my vote.

Mariah struggles to sing that song lol. The performances are proof of that. :o Yup, you definitely ain't no fan of hers. She has so many vids singing that song live and hitting every single note. Is that so?

Mariah had a cold there and she still sang the hell out of it. One bad high note when you have a cold does not mean she can't sing that song at all. She belted the rest of it like there was no tomorrow. But you just showed the flaw, omitting the whole thing. What exactly are you trying to prove? No it's Mariah. The lowered key. The poor breath support. The out of tune notes. The strained belts. The list goes on. Those definitions you just gave do not apply to Mariah Carey.

I even have it ripped on my iTunes with nearly 50 plays. I'm not trying to prove anything. I just went with the singer who doesn't struggle to sing her song live. That's all.

That's literally the only performance of the song that it applies to. I've seen several performances of 'Emotions' live, and that was her worst one. Even then, it was a decent vocal. You're singling out her worst live performance of the song, or one particular note or moment in the song, and attempting to use it as a huge generalization for all of her live renditions of the song. You fail.

One of those songs is legendary and has been covered a number of times since its release. One of those songs is a vocal debacle where the vocalist struggled/s to perform the song live. Can you figure out which is which? Minnie >>>>> Mariah; overall, it's not close. #Biwinning

Rocketlove - what's with the anti Mariah campaign? Stop saying you're a fan and then going and pulling bad moments out of performances. That example you posted - she recovered beautifully. She did some great ad libs rather than whistle in that performance because she was having trouble. That's a moment in time, not an indication of how well she can use her whistle note.

Who can sing them high pitches better? @3:10 I just recently found out that when she's singing "Maya, Maya..." she was singing about her daughter, Actress Maya Rudolph. I love her!
