That looks like a forest cobra, yikes. They're aggressive.

If that thing wasn't raised by people and/or devenomized first, that kind person has an absolutely monstrous pair of balls or Thatchers.

The one that always stuck in my head: the Philippine cobra. Without prompt treatment bites are fatal 100% of the time, and you spend your final hours writhing in a pool of diarrhea unable to speak. :nomouth:

No. She has insanely good pipes and a carefully crafted public persona. But Mozart - not even in the same universe.
I said "close", not a full manifestation. Stevie Ray Vaughan would be closer.
I beg to differ. Being a somewhat amateur "learned" musician, I enjoy music on a technical, rhythmic level first, although sometimes lyrics can be especially effective, such as Hotel California. Her public persona or "image" do not matter, nor do her looks. I'm listening for mastery of songwriting, harmonization, progression or "flow", and lastly, the ability to vary and color "the same thing".

She won't be doing any counterpoint. But in terms of laying the notes down into a compelling song, I have come to the believe that she has the "intuition".

She also makes numerous modifications to her songs when singing live are that not immediately noticeable. Such liberties are not for the faint of heart; it's a constant with Mariah. "Hero" live at Madison Square Garden starts off with a different note than the original record. Higher, but I can't tell how high because my sense of pitch is poor.

And of course, there's always some sort of inspiration that led to the conclusion. The Clarinet Concerto is a prefiguration of Mariah's style. .
These fellas must live in an apartment complex where the elevators smell like piss. Pigs are pretty intelligent.

Mariah Carey is the genius anyway. The one pop star close to Mozart's abilities.


Goes a long ways towards explaining some of the QB-comments you've made in the NFL thread! (Not ALL the way though!)

;)


Either that or.....

It also took me about 30 years to come to the revelation...through an intermediary who can follow Mariah's style to a tee(that would be Jojo).

A Mariah solo is a like concerto for voice and instruments. Rather handy to use in understanding Mozart's Concerto works, which the closest thing you will get to the "live improvise" and soloist he was. Luckily, some things were written for more typical mortals like Barbara Ployer, who had musicality but not the full breadth of Mozart's abilities, and thus 17th Piano Concerto is important because he had to write out the "spice" to the progression of harmony and melody that he could improvise.
