Oh don't worry, the Lambiliy will make sure to keep the advocacy going. As long as people keep naming their babies after her, the popularity can be measure.we can only hope that thisneverhappens to mariah carey in the future![]()
Although, it's probably already happened and Fantasy is like Don Giovanni's overture...where that's just what the new generations want to hear.
Only I have "discovered" that the reason she is popular is because she intuits how to make the music progress bar to bar just like Herr Mozart. The "orchestration" is also advanced. Not easy to create the illusion of "conversation" between a repetitive backing tracking "duetting" with a freelancing solo line.
Then there's the addition ornamentation and subtle variations in inflection. Studying Mariah Carey is studying performance of Mozart.
And probably the most effective yet seemingly mundane tool in her toolbox: A rising ascending scale up that leads towards the "recapitulation". Mozart had this tool as well, just like the first movement of the 17th piano concerto's used such a method to lead into the recapitulation.
She already Beethoven'd music operating procedures. A rapper collab become fashionable and profitable thanks to her to the point of ubiquity, just like the scherzo never left the scene for a century.
