I'm no musical expert, but I would love to hear more about this! Did you mean that she strained her voice too much, that is, sang from the throat?

It's mostly improper placement and throaty singing. You can hear how absolutely muddy her tonal quality is whenever she belts. No resonance or projection. No amount of wide-mouthed singing would ever project a sound so swallowed in its production.

Nobody caught Mariah's "You Don't Know What To Do" on tv this morning?

Godriah has been so good to us. Not her pop-lyric best, but it's fun.

OMG I love this!!!

What kind of pop disco slayage!!!

edit: MARIAH CAREY – Thirsty: 1.141

She also sang Touch My Body and Always Be My baby live (except for that F5 - who you kidding girl?) She posted all of them on her site already:

Messing up the words of my own song
and I don't care
​

Wait, what's that weird sound at 1:12?

The song is okay! I think I like it much more than Thirsty.

OMG, it's back! No one knows what it is. But it's happened before during her E=MC2 era. I posted about it in the Vocalism thread, but no one really has an idea:

Hey, Mumei, I wanted you to check this out. It's Mariah at a recent concert belting, but seemingly unintentionally transitioning between whistle and chest. Now, this has happened before, namely her American Idol Performance of Bye, Bye; and this performance of Fly Like A Bird, but I thought it was an audio problem. I recall someone theorizing that it had to do with severely damaged vocals allowing air to escape in two places at once due to weakened folds. I don't even know if that's possible.

The difference with this clip is that the whistles are transitioned to, while on AI performance and FLAB occur concurrently with the belt.

What do you make of it?

She ruined Leona by writing "Trouble" and convincing her with her lesbian wiles that the track was lead single (let alone K-Mart exclusive B-side) material.

Ohhh, hmmm. I am hoping it's Adam Lambert. For a split second it reminded me of "Lay Me Down".

I'll have to wait for the recorded version.

It's nice that she didn't lip the whole thing, but the end result was a catastrophic intermingling of a struggling hiccupy lead, disturbingly noxious "rap" feature, and truly illegal background vocals.

I can't judge what I heard because my mind has already performed its coping mechanism and erased it from existence.

Sia has given another likely hit song to Rih.

Have there been any songs you’ve given to other artists that you wish you recorded and released as your own?

There’s one that a I just gave to Rihanna. [Laughs] Like as soon as I played it for her manager, he flipped over it and [when] he left the house I felt sick. I was like, “F–k.” It was going to be on my record, but he was over and I was playing him loads of jams. And I was like, “Maybe you’ll like this one…” [Other than that] not really, I mean I did like “Perfume.” I would have kept that for myself, but Britney [Spears] is a really sweet gal and I was happy to give it away.

Since that was obvious, I'll just have you reply to yourself:

the belt sound did come out, you can hear faintly it in some fan videos. her mic must have been turned off too early before she took it backstage.

"This video is an abstract look at pedestrian life and how we're all just trying to get through and rise above everyday challenges. Although the song talks about a real life event that happened the day I recorded the song with Pharrell, the video has a more conceptual approach and I love how surreal it looks. I found myself almost directing traffic and it made me think about how we're all just trying to negotiate our way through day to day life." - Kylie Minogue
