If your browser is secure and you use a decent spam blocker as per literally every advice column's recommendation there shouldn't be an issue. Most staff here use Firefox afaik. And fwiw even with those turned off the last time I checked (a couple months ago?) there weren't those sketchy popups, that seems like a very recent development unfortunately. So we weren't actually to know since we already had our content blockers on for regular ads. The 4shared mobile app doesn't have ads to begin with either, so there's that, it works with our hyperlinks.

FYI here is how the highest bold from the threads looks for me (yes that's uBlock Origin's icon in the toolbar, i think its cosmetic filtering is toggled on too):

I use uBlock and I never had absolutely any problem with 4shared, honestly.

But I'm not against putting alternative Youtube links on a separate section, in fact I've been doing this for a few of my threads because I heard people had problems with 4shared.

Hi Baronessa!
There are E♭6s in several live performances of "Infinity". For this one it starts at 4:29

m.youtube.com/watch?v=UIQDJ4w7m8M

In this performance of "Emotions" she dips down to an A2, at 2:53 - 2:57

m.youtube.com/watch?v=WNuy0z0YWMo

Side note, I have been wondering: how do we differentiate Mariah's falsetto from her head voice? Personally I think that some of her high notes like the B♭5 in "When You Believe" and the D6 in "I Still Believe" might be head voice. What do you guys think?

I saw a vocal range video once where I thought that her M1 register ended at about G#5. Her highest M1 note according to the OP of this thread seems to be an A5. It's highly unlikely that she'd suddenly do a D6 without M2 (falsetto) or M3 (whistle) notes. Mariah Carey can sing low but she doesn't have the extreme M1 range that Beyonce has.

[Baronessa]

Absolutely no shot anyone's M1 goes up to G♯5. I'm differentiating the blue notes and non-belted black notes by tone only.

I don't know about Mariah Carey but kaji has a youtube video with a female singer who sings C6 in M1.

"She is one of the few singers I've encountered who can truly sing a soprano high C in a modal voice (belt)"

['S]

Keeping this on topic, at least we do know that Mariah can't M1 above G♯5. She'd rather mix which to me is more impressive anyway.

She probably mixes better at that point, at least. Mixes meaning that she's beefing up her M2 register somewhat. Eydie Gorme's chest C6 is obviously a good one. How high she would be able to take her chest voice before it sounds like shit and then cracks, is anyone's guess. Some times that is what they do.

[Baronessa]

I didn't hear a chest C6 in that video. Regardless, the point was to clarify that just because some of the high notes are black that doesn't mean Mariah's M1 goes up to A5.

[kaji]

Just a clarification - all the current studies do confirm that M1 IS in fact possible at G-sharp and higher. But it is very much an extreme range. There was a study done in France last year where they analysed a singer who was bringing M1 up to the high B.

I have to agree though, I don’t think Mariah’s A5 is M1. Or an A5 quite frankly. I’m pretty sure it is pitched-up.

[Baronessa]

Which one of those?

[Steingrim]

Try this :

What does (H) and (BG) in the video mean ?

[kaji]

Gotta say. I wish I didn't include that F#2. Listening back I think it's a piano. I still hear the G2 though.

Also harmony and background vocals. 

[Henny Macc]

Oh hey, nice G6 I guess

[Baronessa]

No please not yet... O_o

[TheElfExpert]

I think the C5 in "Vision of Love" deserves to be added and bolded. If you don't agree, that's okay.

well this C5 is not anything that special. Mariah has done many great C5s and even live that are better than this 

I think Mariah's highest head voice note is Eb6 in some studio vocals and imo the i still believe D6 sustained live in 2009/2010 or something was a whistle and not head voice...

it seems G6s are par for the course every year now lmao

[glo]

What happened to the “Art of Letting Go” A♭2?

[Baronessa]

I couldn't find it again.

[haeksk（ハクサク）]

Shouldn't the "Never Too Far" G#5 bold be blue and not black?

I believe this thread counts all non-whistle (or aspirate monster register) notes as black? 

[Baronessa]

Yes, only whistle — or what we in the business call flageolet — notes are blue. I determined that there is more of a difference between her whistle and head voice notes than her chest and head voice notes.
