Aw thanks for thinking of Miranda

But isn't this like head voice?

Also, kinda off topic but since you're a Mariah stan what's the name of that song they use in memes where Mariah is singing an UNBELIEVABLY high note?

The Belt is mixed. 

Hmm... Could it be 'Emotions'?

Gaga could even belt a G#5 if she'd mix it, but she doesn't. She literally dragged her larynx to hit that E5 in the Apple Music Interview, which is so unhealthy. I wish she'd get a different vocal coach. 

agreed 100% 

Her mix was on-point during "Sound of Music" and "Star-Spangled Banner", I can't fathom why she doesn't do it more often.

Finally got Joanne some hours ago and just got back from my second listen. One of the things I like a bit less is that there aren't much long and high notes. I really expected some more songs with notes like that leak "What's wrong with love" or whatever we call it :p

Still an amazing album of course!

Hmm, really? I thought so  Even Christina was able to reach a E6 last year but can't belt properly over a B4. I also wouldn't label her an alto, her lows are great but her G5 Belt made me think otherwise. 

Gagas Voice right now (Belting wise) reminds me of Mariah Carey right now. Comfortable until an Eb5, but all other Belts very rich and well controlled. 

What I do not like about Gagas voice is, that it seems SO perfected on Joanne for example, there is not much room for character to shine through (which makes critics say that there's no emotion).

Goodf*cking bye I literally asked my self for a good 10 minutes how Christina Grimmie wasn't able to belt a proper C5 until I realized you meant Christina Aguilera

Christina had a pretty high extension up into the seventh octave though during her peak, which is unusual for a mezzo overall. I feel like she's a bad example because she's one of the most extreme mezzos that currently exist. I mean... she has a whistle register that goes beyond the whistle of most regular sopranos as well (Tori Kelly can only go as far as B6 in her whistle while Christina managed to do C#7s). I'd be surprised if she couldn't hit an E6 tbh. The fact that she can't go up to G6 anymore is kinda tragic.

I disagree about Gaga's voice sounding to perfect though. Especially on the title track (which she said was recorded in one take), you can hear some flaws, cracks and flat notes (especially in the first verse). Also I'm still triggered by all of the GGD threads that go "why is there a flat note in perfect illusion?", "Did you notice that flat not in A-YO?", and "Why didn't she shine up her vocals on Joanne?"

Hmm... 

Mariah Carey = solid debut Album with 80's inspired Bops and cute ballads (Must heard: Prisoner, Sent from up Above, Vision of Love, Someday)

Emotions = Gospel Influenced Pop Songs and Ballads (Must heard: Can't Let Go, Emotions, If It's Over, Make It Happen)

Music Box = Straight up Pop (Must heard: Dreamlover, Hero, Now That I Know, I've been thinkin' bout you)

Daydream = Pop with RnB very mature (Must heard: Fantasy, Underneath the Stars, Melt Away, Long Ago, Looking In, Always Be My Baby)

Butterfly = Mature RnB with Hip Hop Influences (Must heard: The Roof, Honey, Fourth Of July, Babydoll, Breakdown, My All)

Rainbow = Pop with RnB (Must heard: Heartbreaker (Remix), Can't take that away from me, Bliss, How much)

Glitter = 80's inspired Pop Album (Must heard: Loverboy, Lead the way)

Charmbracelet = modern RnB Album (Must heard: Saving Grace, Subtle Invitation, Through The Rain, Clown, Boy I need You, The One, Yours)

The Emancipation of Mimi = better Version of Charmbracelet (Must heard: We Belong Together, It's Like That, Mine Again, Fly Like A Bird, Shake it off, Circles, I Wish You Knew)

E=MC2 = more Pop Version of The Emancipation of Mimi (Must heard: Touch My Body, I'll be Loving You Long Time, O.O.C., Bye Bye)

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel = RnB Classic (Must heard: Obsessed, Standing O, Up out my Face, H.A.T.E.U., Candy Bling, It's A Wrap)

Me. I am Mariah - The Elusive Chanteuse = a fusion of various genres (Must heard: Thirsty, Dedicated, The Art of Letting Go, Faded, You Don't Know What To Do, You're Mine, Meteorite, Heavenly)

I love Gospel so I'll probably listen to Emotions first thanks!

Well, true, but then again - Christinas voice drastically changed before Bionic. When she started being in her 30's  Maybe it's the age? 

With the perfect sound I mean the timbre of her voice, not the actual notes. It seems so less of character and color.

It's her not knowing how to mix her belts and forcing her voice up to F#5s on the regular It's almost like she deliberately f*cked up her voice, starting in 2002 until Bionic in 2009.

Also I kinda think this is the price of advanced technical knowledge. If I had a dollar for everytime somebody told me that Beyoncé's voice has no character or that her timbre was bland, I'd have a billion dollars now

so i grin

and my voice gets thin

I think I just realized the only thing that wasn't my favorite off the album. I was hoping to hear some more E5's and F5's in her full voice. But her voice was definitely amazing on the album.
