celeb news TB: Taylor Swift asked vocal coach: "Do you think I can sing Mariah Carey songs?"

[Not Like The Movies]

[Taylor fanboy]

Taylor is such a lamb!

[modeblock]

why would he set her up like that 

[NausAllien]

If I were her vocal coach and she asked me this:

 

Sweetie, you can't. There's no way you can see even the easiest song in Mariah's discography. You don't have the range, the agility, the stamina, the control, the projection, the support, the low register, the belting register, the upper register, the whistles, the musicality and the musical ear to sing a Mariah song. It's fine. You can sing a Selena Gomez song though. Or a Britney song. But you're no songstress, sweetie. That's not your thing.

She can't even sing her own songs on key:

 

And this is what happens when she tries to belt:

 

The fact she's ALWAYS flat or off key when trying to belt... I just can't...

 

[Ricardo1993]

her voice is bland like french fries with no salt. 

[Squall]

She could

She should cover Alone In Love on her next visit to the Live Lounge

[Touchdown]

I didn't watch the video but I assume he lied and said yes?

Range isn't everything if it can't be sustained/supported.

Well, Taylor has a very limited range and an even more limited SUPPORTED range. Sustaining notes mean nothing when your pitch wavers like crazy, which is what happens almost every time Taylor tries to sustain a note (when she's not flat or off key).

Mariah the GOAT

 

[More Than A Melody]

The self soothing in this thread. She can sing Mariah's version of Happy Birthday

The answer may be no for Taylor...but Mariah can't sing them either anymore so she is in good company.

She still sings VOL - one of her most difficult songs - fully live.

[chosensparkles]

She did improve vocally. I’d be here for it

[Jude]

I'd love to see her cover a Mariah song. That would be really interesting.

 

She should be able to nail WBT and My All.
