A-Frickin-MEN!
And I don’t think squealing should really count as part of her presumed “range”.
You may disagree, but the whistle register notes are accepted as part of someones range.
While I think that there are some legitimately good singers who use melisma as a choice, I think that the majority see it as a clever way to cover up the fact that they can’t hold a sustained note that long without going off key.
Are you serious? Mariah’s 90’s stuff is as much a staple of Easy Listening radio stations as anything on this planet.
I’ve liked her stuff since I was in middle school, and I have a lot of friends who do, too. It’s fun pop music. I’ve listened to “Touch My Body” quite a bit, and I liked “Emancipation of Mimi” a lot.
It’s not cool to like her, but tons of people do. She has huge appeal.
