Subject: RE: What is wrong with poor Mariah Carey?
Lucius and MTed.

My understanding is a general one, based on having heard her original album, and doing a comparison with my own range. I am making an assumption here, based on what I have heard and what she has claimed (or her PR agents for her). My only point is that she has to have more than three, and fairly well above that, as she is well outside of my range (which I *do* know). I am also accepting what I have myself heard and read. And yes, I do tend to believe too much of what I read. ;D

As for things being tweeked in studio, for certain that is more than possible. However, as with Milly Vanilly, if you do this and *claim* it to be natural, eventually, you'll get outted for it. She has been on the pop music scene for some time, and still says that is her natural voice, and there are no reports refuting these claims.

In order to prove my own point, however, I would have to go out and buy one of her albums, listen to it, find the highest and lowest notes, plunk them out on a piano, and then come back here and tell you what I have found.

I really don't want to purchase anything by her, I don't have a lot of time for an online search, and I would rather not go and listen to the radio until she is played, so I will *concede* the point.

I am still impressed. You can decide not to be, and all is still right with the world. :)
