Couple things: Why is there no Whitney? I didn't feel comfortable evaluating someone who's sadly no longer with us. Jazmine, Yebba Well, I'm not sure if they really fall in the 'pop' category so they're not here. Natalie Weiss is not a pop singer technically, but she's covered a ton of pop songs and she teaches pop vocal. She literally had a series where she's has broken down some of the most iconic pop vocal runs. Leigh-Anne, Dinah Jane They could be here, true. However, it's an over 30 minutes video and there's no way someone wouldn't get left out unfortunately.

Beyoncé and Mariah at the top spots are so interesting because they're kind of like polar opposites musically. Bey is like blazing fire and Mariah is like soothing water. My top 2 favorite musicians of all time.

Y’all gotta respect and appreciate Mariah (Not only for being one of the best) but also for inspiring many of the singers on this video. Even Beyoncé said once: “Mariah Carey is the person that made me want to sing”

Tori is a BEAST honestly her vocals are out of this world I've heard her live and she sounds even better like?! how's that possible??? in my opinion she could easily be #1 that girl has several lungs and is one of the most underrated artists

The thing about vocal agility is that it's not just about riffs and runs, it's also about how fast a singer shifts registers. Mariah has been doing it effortlessly, it's like she's a roller coaster. She shifts from chest to head, falsetto, and whistle or the other way around, she even doesit back and forth. It's like climbing a 20 step stair in one or less than a second.

In my opinion, Beyonce is perfect with maximum mark, but Mariah is way beyond perfection. She is phenomenal and incomparable. She can implement runs with 13notes/s, 53notes/s or 5-6 transistions. She can also add many colorature-ish techniques or vocal dynamics when doing melisma (you can check it on showcase of If only you knew/somewhere over the rainbow performance)

Thank You for appreciating Miss Chlöe’s impressive vocals. She is known as a great writer and performer which I agree with, but is a underrated vocalist.

I already knew Mariah would be number 1. Incredible vocalist.

If you really know anything about vocal runs, you will know that Mariah Carey is vocal runs PERSONIFIED! What was shown in this video with Mariah doesn't even come close to how insane Mariah's vocal runs truly are!

Beyoncé and Mariah Carey tying for first fits my fantasy.

Alot of people seem to forget that in the same way that Mariah as a star-rated songwriter gets overlooked due to how much of a star-rated vocalist she is, is the same way that Beyoncé as a star-rated vocalist gets overlooked due to her being one of the greatest live performers of all time. Beyoncé's musicality has improved so much over the years compared to her DC years and with Mariah, is truly the upper echelon of what a vocalist (male or female) should aspire to be. Tori Kelly is so amazing and deserving of her #3 spot too omg

I knew Mariah would be at #1 but I'm soooo glad you included JoJo, faouzia, and Tori Kelly 😍😍😍😍

Mariah Carey's Runs are so Fast yet so Smooth.

I love the inclusion of Faouzia, she's insane! Also nice to see Madison and Chloe, both underrated singers. I wonder if you know queen Sohyang, I don't think I've seen you mention her. She would make a great addition to your videos, she's absolutely on a level of the greatest divas like Vocal Trinity

Mariah's light voice makes her voice effortlessly agile even by accident But IMHO Whitney's agility is unbelievable 🙌she got the most powerful voice in non classic music yet the agility and control she showcases in her dynamics/chest head transitions are otherworldly ❤️

I like that you recognize Brandy, Tori, and Beyonce. They do get praised for their ability, but I don't think they are recognized hardly enough for the level of skill and technique that goes into there runs. Mariah of course is in her rightful place

Love seeing Leona here. In her prime her riffs were so effortless and beautiful. Tori Kelly is absolutely deserving of being up near the top. Top tier agility. Shout out to Yebba, whose agility is incredible.

Thank you for adding Faouzia, I feel like she's still overlooked and unaddressed when talking about literal vocal beasts!

Mariah and Beyoncé 🙏🏻

Mariah's "bluebirds fly" riff from Over the Rainbow is heaven

I'm so happy to see Tori Kelly here, I feel like she's not appreciated enough :')

Beyoncé and Mariah their runs and riffs are totally different, yet so impressive, Mariah excels in soft and delicate subtle runs, and Beyoncé excels in more consistent and dramatic complex melisma's which is clearly shown in this video how they prefer to do their runs.

Mariah and Beyonce's runs are very much part of the music. It always feels like it belongs there. I mean no one could ever.

💖Mariah Carey is #1 for me 💖 her vocals are amazing with agility, sound, runs, belts, octaves and whistles.

Bey has the biggest/heaviest voice out of everyone on this list and that makes her agility all the more impressive. I wish you used more recent clips but I know these were probably what was safe from copyright. Jazmine Sullivan should definitely be on the list about equal or one below Brandy.

no jazmine sullivan??? this is a crime! 🤨

TORI KELLY'S RUNS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Mariah, Celine and Beyoncé are the queens of agility for me.

Man, I don't know what it is about her but Faouzia gives me chills that no other singer can. She is just something else

Beyoncé in terms of agility, the "sweet dreams medley" from Beyoncé vegas show, her AOL acoustic performance, the ego run as well as that one really complex run she does in the background of bootylicious . The latter is one of the top 3 hardest runs I have heard in my life.

Mariah just wows me everytime, she even RARELY uses her skills to show off, most of the time, she only uses it to give the music "life" and that's why I love Mimi, she never does things that aren't necessary for the song

Faouzia is highly rated because she is continually improving her voice and technique and will be the next big thing!

When xtina is bad she is bad but when she is good she is at the level of the greatest.

*To be honest,* 1. Mariah Carey 2. Beyonce Both are exceptionally agile however *Mariah* takes it due to musicality and her transitions are essentially unparalleled in mainstream music. *Beyonce's* musicality has definitely improved over time however Mariah has top notch musicality. Overall, this is an excellent video and the rankings were quite spot on. Glad you added *Faouzia and Leona Lewis.* I wonder where Jazmine Sullivan would rank. I keep thinking somewhere in the top 5 however her musicality is not on par with Mariah and Tori plus she relies on her jaw quite a number of times.

I just love vocal runs so much. My faves would definitely be Xtina, Mariah, Jojo, Bey, Jazmine and Tori. They are so creative and distinctive.

Tori's run from that funny live is genuinely one of the best runs I've ever heard

I just feel like when it comes to agility, for me personally, Faouzia, Beyoncé, Mariah, Tori Kelly and Celine Dion are the best.

There is just SOMETHING about Celine & Whitney's runs that hit different. The combination of power & agility is unbeatable. I feel like their belts are the lightning and their runs are the thunder that follows as the bolt crosses the sky. Some singers use a very thin/bright/girly tone to get their voice to move faster but for me, power in the riff is a whole new tier.

That soft tone of Mariah feels so sweet to your ears if angels sings that would be the sound... by the way, those lowers of Mariah are just insane❤

Ari's musicality ♥️

I love Morissette. She's amazing. My top agile voices would be Mariah Carey, Jazmine Sullivan, Tori Kelly, Brandy and Beyonce. Kelly Clarkson is great but she probably comfortable as a belter then runs and rifts. The most agile I ever hear Jennifer sing was when she did Tomorrow, and Simple Beautiful by Al Green. Overall My top agile voices would definitely be Mariah, Jazmine, Brandy, Tori Kelly and Beyonce. Great video!

Leona Lewis is so underrated nowadays. Her agility is just a force we need in our lives.

I love Beyonce. But Mariah is just untouchable. It's not just the agility.. it's the tone darling..

Faouzia literally has one of the most versatile voices I have ever heard, she is literally good,to great, to amazing at everything. Not to mention the fact that she is only 22 GOAT material honestly.

Whitney not being here is questionable but I'll just take it as a compliment that she's in her own teir 💅 Thanks for including faouzia and the k-pop girlie's since they don't get enough recognition

imo Ariana's musicality should've have been at least a 12 and she has so many better riffs than the ones shown.

Thank you for including artists from South Korea! This is such a great ranking system that considers different and complex part of music. These amazing talents truly deserve recognition for their hardwork!

Thank you so much for giving Brandy her flowers 💐🥰❤️ I've been such a huge fan of hers since her first album and she is one of my favourite vocalists of all time 😍 great list!

I am legitimately surprised both Whitney Houston and Jazmine Sullivan weren’t on this list. But I can’t disagree with your top 2!!

The fact that Jazmine sullivan and Yebba isn't on this list is absolutely criminal

Mariah Carey runs is so unique and complex Beyond perfect We don't deserve her

I'm not surprised at Faouzia who is at number 5. Because she already has the basic 'Arabic runs' of the blood of her Moroccan family. And well, middle eastern songs do have a unique characteristic in their vocal agility

I would love to see Jazmine Sullivan here as well :) she could be in the top 10 in my opinion EDIT: AND ALSO YEBBA, SHE IS A BEAST

Faouzia YESSSS! She is a vocal beast!!

Christina's head voice is superb💯

Mariah is the queen of everything vocally.

Whitney's technique and pitch are definitely the best, I would still give her the first place despite her riffs runs not being the most complex. The development of her riffs and runs in both her head voice and chest voice definitely make up for that along with her different vocal dynamics , as agility is not only about melisma.

Love to see Leona here, and yes she deserves her spot. It's sad that she's so underrated nowadays.

Never heard of Chloe but damn she has a stunning voice

Foauzia is so unique.... Her Arabic technique is beautiful. 23:01

I think the list was really well built, and I agree with the chosen of Mariah and Bey on the same place. I'm a hardcore lamb myself, and is very clear that Bey deserve that spot. The only thing that I'll point is that they are (for me, at least) in different places of perfection, when it comes to vocal agility. Beyoncé is a technical perfection, everyone should take notes from her performances to learn how to do perfects riffs and runs like crazy. She reached in her league, and the way she uses her technique will never be replicated. And I should point that she even uses vocal dinamics in the middle of the runs. Truly a masterpiece. Mariah otherwise is a raw perfection. Like, really, you can't name a Mariah song that don't have at least one iconic run or riff. The way that she decorates her songs with little intricate runs that you probably only discover after listen many and many and many times is surreal. The runs are in the climax, in the verses, in the intro, in the outro, and, why not, even in the melody of her art. Again, this will never be replicated, and I'm grateful for having Mariah as my favorite singer of all time.

You initially made me fall in love with Tori. Really enjoyed the vid!

I’m so glad Tori is up there. Well deserved.

I’m happy to see Chloe’s placement on this list. I think with more time in the industry she will rise up. I love love love her voice.

I agree with Mariah and Beyoncé sitting on the throne with one buttcheek each. They are both the standards but O can't imagine either of them doing what the other can do. Bey can do somethings Mimi can't, Mimi can do somethings Bey can't. So why not share the top spot?

I knew Beyoncé and Mariah Carey were gonna be at the topppppp they’re unbeatable

Beautiful list! Had everyone I’d hoped to see here 🔥🙏🏽

Very impressive content, my friend! Greatly appreciated! I completely respect your list!

jazmine sullivan should be there

Yesss!!! Faouzia getting the recognition she deserves!!!

I honestly think you have been a bit funny with this list: Celine Dion at her prime and even nowadays has some some of the most impressive runs and she is crystal clear. You can hear every note. And you put her 8th in this list? Agility and resonance off the charts. I think you let you personal taste bias the list very honestly.

Yeah Mariah’s package kinda just manifests runs because her frame of mind and just her person holds this coalescence with musicality. When your brain is already there and you have the chops, technique, and range to play with; Mariah Carey is essentially Pablo Picasso on the world’s largest mural. Her runs painting endless streaks of timeless art that only she could ever bring to the world. She’s a musician, baseline. Musicality is probably her greatest and most long lasting weapon.

And to think that Beyoncé said once she learned riffing by listening to Mariah's Vision of Love.

This is definitely one of your best videos. I was trying to guess what the critique was going to be before you said, and I was able to guess most of them. Really enjoyed it, and the format is clean, precise, and straight to the point. Definitely outdid yourself with this one, and I'm surely looking forward to whatever the hell you decide to post in the future. I know that we're struggling severely in the male department, but a male-focused ranking would be... "interesting". We need them to step it up, stop being lazy, and start sangin'.

Glad to see my faves in this list Christina, Demi, Jojo, Kelly, and Celine.💟

YESSS TORI🥺 gurl she is a beast bruh like what? What is that runs😭 its perfect and on beat with the music bye😂

Have you seen Chloe x Halle's essence fest performance? Chloe did a new riff during the Ungodly Hour bridge and I'm OBSESSED

i think it’s funny that jade and camila are included when leigh-anne and dinah are by far the superior members from each group when it comes to agility, i was expecting to see them after i saw their bandmates mentioned. also, what about whitney???? also yebba, jazmine sullivan, keke wyatt??

Beyonce deserves her score but Mariah should have got a bonus point for musicality for also being able to land perfect runs in whistle register.

I love TORI KELLY so much! Her voice is insane!

Such a great video! Although a I missed Jazmine Sullivan, she’s a BEAST when it comes to riffs and runs.

I really do love this list but Mariah is more fluid imo compared to B. I love both but Mariah's ability be fluid between Head, chest and Whistle is something of a marvel. Also, where is Whitney and Jazmine Sullivan?

Everytime I here Madison Beer she sounds more and more like Ariana Grande! I don't know about others but it's unsettling to me how she has the exact same style as Ariana Grande 😐!

So glad to see you Included the over the rainbow tribute this time around 😌

Yes the Brandy & Leona appreciation 😍

Great video. Jazmine sullivan tho. Yall need to get into her if you like agility she’s ridiculous

I know MiMi is on top, but I think the reason why she's on top is because her runs are always sympathetic to the key and always connected to the the melody

The accuracy of this list!!! *chef’s kiss* especially the top 10! Kudos

03:43 wow demi, that transition to falsetto 😍 impressive

I am so happy to see Brandy my all time favorite singer at number 4. I wasn’t sure if I would see her on the list at all. Thank you for that

Yesssss finally somebody said it . Brandy is scary good at runs she catches me off guard all the time

Great list. I appreciate this video sir.☺️👏

Your videos are daily serotonin. I really enjoy your job❤ And guys, don't forget the agility of Whitney and Aretha, queens of soul. RIP

Faouzia has this agility at the age of 22 .. is crazy to me

I’m impressed for Madison Beer’s VOCALS 😮‍💨 soooo underrated that I didn’t even know she had all that

There are so many more amazing singers out there. It would be nice to see a KZfaq channel like yours opening up doors for them ;)

Never heard of Faouzia but she’s damn good wow 😍😍

3:48 her riff was flawless there, perfect musicaly placed in that song

Love this so much

Mariah, Tori, Jasmine Sullivan, Brandy, Jojo, Beyonce, Kyla
