C5-D5 Whitney, Eb5-F5 Mariah, F#5-above: Celine (she could belt up to C6!

Not being able to hear Celine’s G5 is my 13th reason

Your vid selection especially of Mariah is low, sorry

Celine Dion proof is the best than two

Hahaha this part of videos Celine and Aretha is muted😅😂

Celine all the way

Who has more in common? Whitney and Mariah, Whitney and Celine, or Mariah and Celine?

SORRY BUT CEL
INE DION IS ABOVE THE OTHER TWO NOT ONLY FOR VOCALS, BUT FOR STAGE PRESENCE, VERSATILITY AND LIVE PERFORMANCES IN SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES IN MUSIC. WH AND MC ARE ICONIC BUT THEY ALWAYS STAYED ON HER SAFE ZONE.

The defining quality of a diva, if not the only defining quality of a diva is, can they sing live? All these ladies can, but whoever delivered best is THE BEST.

Can we get a video showcasing the different tonal qualities of their voices?

All the best for me...❤❤❤

My opinions: They are not equal, though they all excel in different things. Let's give range and versatility to Mariah, congratulations. Whistling. Congrats. Outside of singing and voice, let's give her song writing and producing as well. Congratulations. Let's give stamina and ability to hold power notes the longest, and having longevity for really valuing and taking care of her voice to Celine. Congratulations. Power to Whitney, sure. But that’s the least of it. Additionally, the ability to infuse a lyric with emotion, clarity of phrasing, her tone is pure, rich, velvety, supple, lustrous, and tender (best a cappella), the best head voice, the best vibrato. Her voice had gravity, and the discipline to know when to hold back, that's ALL WHITNEY. In terms of style, Whitney was the most authentic, straight-forward, soulful, vibrant, robust and regal. Mariah had to flit, flirt, and fidget and whistle and whisper to hold your attention because she knew her voice didn't have enough weight to sing it direct. Compare Mariah’s best live performance: “Vision of Love” to Adele’s star making brit performance of “Someone Like You” and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Though Mariah has a much wider arsenal of tools there are things in Adele’s tonal quality and shading, again, gravity and emotive ability that Mariah can’t do, but Whitney can. Celine didn't have Whitney's phrasing either. Her choices are mawkish (look it up), schmaltzy, and inauthentic by comparison (Barbra's kinda like that too). Lot's people don't feel Celine like they feel Whitney. I sometimes wonder if Celine is really feeling what she's singing or is she just pretending to? (eg. It's all coming back to me now). And here's where Whitney show's her gospel roots: she knows to connect to the songs she sings. This is why she delivers the best live performances (MTV: Why does it hurt so bad, Didn’t we almost have it all 1987, etc). In terms of tone, Mariah can sound flirty, warm, feathery, heavenly and airy, like a goddess. Celine can sound crystalline, steely, and majestic like an ice-berg or some awe-inspiring landscape. But Whitney just sounds like the most beautiful woman with a heart and soul and will forever be the most magnificent leading lady with ravishing emotions (I Have Nothing). The flesh and blood queen. Both powerful and tender. The greatest diva who ever lived. And Outside of singing, imagine if Whitney had no voice. She still had enough beauty, talent, appeal, and charisma to be an A-list movie star, which she was. She was the biggest movie star in Hollywood when the Bodyguard came out. For her movie career, she was the highest paid Black actress in Hollywood. She made the biggest cultural impact during her heyday. The bodyguard movie and soundtrack captured the zeitgeist when it came out, hence it being the greatest selling album by a female, in the world, in all of music history. The nearest thing to the bodyguard in terms of impact is Adele's 21. Hence: once in a generation. I will always love you got the most views still....and on and on and on. They are not equal.

Whitney will always be the best for me for clarity and richness of tone, but that doesn’t stop the love for Mariah and Celine. Nice to see some respect for all three in the comments ❤

I realize there is no way to say this without coming off as a hater, but Mariah was never on their technical level. Both Whitney and Celine were impressive and refined technical vocalists in their prime, with a good degree of chest development, refined understanding of vowel shaping, and generally efficient vocal tract management. Mariah's singing was neither as big nor as easy as theirs, and her consistent inconsistency speaks volumes to a lack of a properly honed technical skill set. Squeezing into the mask, constantly using glotal attacks, suffering from major supraglotal tension, using massive amounts of larynx depression on the lows, leaky belting, I can go on. There is a good reason her voice burned out after just 6 relatively easy years in terms of touring.

That said, Mariah was probably the best musician of the three.

I miss these types of epic vocalists

All are wonderful, but damn most of Mariah's videos were horrible recording samples!

Sustainability and vibrato that's Celine The prime ❤️👑

Mariah has always been more vocally impressive and possessed the most beautiful tone to my ears.

My opinion based off of the clips:
C5: Celine
C#5: Tie
D5: Celine
Eb5: Whitney (golden note)
E5: Whitney (All were good though)
F5: Celine=>Mariah>Whitney
F#5: Celine probably. It was a mix not a belt, but Whitney’s and Mariah’s both sounded slightly high larynx to me
G5: Whitney

C5: all 3
C#5: Whitney takes that easily
D5: Celine, she owns this note
Eb5: Whitney destroys the other 2
E5: Mariah for me
F5: Celine
F#5: I’ll go Celine despite the fact it’s mixed, Whitney’s wasn’t that good and Mariah’s was whiny
G5: Celine easily, Whitney’s was F#5 and Mariah’s was tense and flat

The majestic beauty and quality of Mariah's tone and artistry; the awe inspiring and rich timbre of Whitney's powerful voice; the precision, dexterity and consistency of Celines impeccable performances. Each of these incredible women embody such impressive skill and accomplishment in the art of singing, and I feel so lucky to be alive in this time to appreciate their gifts.

This is by far the best vocal showcase of the vocal trinity.. please do more of this ❤

Celine and Mariah C5 still ringing in my ears LOL.damn girls !

Celine Dion F5 name?

Mariah had a great voice but her songs were the epitome of mediocrity. it's like using a ferrari to carry concrete when you need a truck.The ohwhowoooooo woooo wooooowwww also was so annoying. Whitney had so much soul and passion it hurts me to listen to such beauty. It's so beautiful it hurts. Celine is so powerful that it makes me unable to comprehend that she's a human. Never liked Mariah and never will. Great voice, terribly mediocre singer. The other 2, my god, their voices seem to more powerful than a whole army.

if you want to ear high nites without whistke check mado robin

Now does Anna Vissi have any note from a C5-E5 that compares to their performances of those same notes?
Yes I know Anna Vissi is a mezzo-soprano and the Vocal Trinity consists of sopranos, but just for the fun of it how do Anna Vissi's belts/mixes compare from a C5 to an E5?

1.- Celine Dion, 2.- Whitney Houston, 3.- Mariah Carrey.

Mariah is in the bottom of the barrel of this so called trinity. Those screaming ain’t pleasant to the ears at all, girl. 😂

Whitney’s Voice
Celine’s Live Performing Skills
Mariah’s songwriting


Put these three qualities together and you get the perfect Main Pop Girl (MPG) this world has ever seen.

Whitney

Tommy Motola (who worked with mariah) , David Foster, Diane Warren, bee gees and many others said PUBLICALY that CELINE is the greatest signer, what else do you want ?

Hmm, why is there no sound for celine dion G5?

Somebody knows what its this performance by Céline in D5???

Whitney wins

Whitney has it overall.

The best is Whitney for me.But i also love Mariah

For the F#5 for mariah , u could js used the "if its over" grammy performance where her F# tgerw was more supported and ringing rather then squeezed, but overall u dud great on tge clips and enyoed the vids, they rocked!

The video was gotten down briefly due to copyright claims on Celine's G5. Unfortunately I had to mute it for the video to be available again 😔
