Regarding her voice type, Carey said that she is an alto, though several critics have described her as a soprano. However, within contemporary forms of music, singers are classified by the style of music they sing. There is currently no authoritative voice classification system within non-classical music.

A lot of people couldn't sing through the nodules the way I do; I've learned to sing through my vocal cords. The only thing that really affects my voice is sleep. Sometimes if I'm exhausted, I can't hit the really high notes. My doctors showed me my vocal cords and why I can hit those high notes. It's a certain part of the cord that not many people use—the very top. My natural voice is low. I have a raspy voice. I'm really more of an alto. But my airy voice can be high if I'm rested. [...] When I was little, I'd talk in this really high whisper, and my mom would be like, 'You're being ridiculous'. I thought if I can talk like that I can sing like that. So I started just messing around with it. I'd practice and practice, and she'd be like, 'You're gonna hurt yourself'. I'd tell her, it doesn't hurt. If I were to try and belt two octaves lower than that, that would be a strain." —Carey on her usage of the whistle register[1][2] Carey possesses a five-octave vocal range,[3][4][5] and has the ability to reach notes beyond the 7th octave.[6][7] Referred to as the "songbird supreme" by the Guinness World Records,[8] she was ranked first in a 2003 MTV and Blender magazine countdown of the 22 Greatest Voices in Music, as voted by fans and readers in an online poll. Carey said of the poll, "What it really means is voice of the MTV generation. Of course, it's an enormous compliment, but I don't feel that way about myself."[9] She also placed second in Cove magazine's list of "The 100 Outstanding Pop Vocalists".[10] Regarding her voice type, Carey said that she is an alto, though several critics have described her as a soprano.[11][12][13] However, within contemporary forms of music, singers are classified by the style of music they sing. There is currently no authoritative voice classification system within non-classical music. Attempts have been made to adopt classical voice type terms to other forms of singing, but they are controversial,[14] because the development of classical voice categorizations were made with the understanding that the singer would amplify his or her voice with their natural resonators, without a microphone.[15] Jon Pareles of The New York Times described Carey's lower register as a "rich, husky alto" that extends to "dog-whistle high notes".[16] Additionally, towards the late 1990s, Carey began incorporating breathy vocals into her material.[17] Tim Levell from the BBC News described her vocals as "sultry close-to-the-mic breathiness",[17] while USA Today's Elysa Gardner wrote "it's impossible to deny the impact her vocal style, a florid blend of breathy riffing and resonant belting, has had on today's young pop and R&B stars."[18] Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker adds her timbre possesses various colors, saying, "Carey's sound changes with nearly every line, mutating from a steely tone to a vibrating growl and then to a humid, breathy coo. Her wide vocal range allows Carey to take melodies from alto bottom notes to coloratura soprano upper register."[19] Carey also possesses a "whisper register". In an interview with the singer, Ron Givens of Entertainment Weekly described it this way, "first, a rippling, soulful ooh comes rolling effortlessly from her throat: alto. Then, after a quick breath, she goes for the stratosphere, with a sound that nearly changes the barometric pressure in the room. In one brief swoop, she seems to squeal and roar at the same time."[20]

Read More »NY Daily News in 2009: "From the treatment of the vocals, to the strategy of the songwriting, to the use of instrumentation, "Angel" reeks of idealization and self-consciousness. That's most obvious in the way the producers dealt with Carey's signature feature - her voice. Rarely do we hear it clearly. Nearly every syllable sounds like it's been tricked up by a war room full of compressors, echo-chambers, filters, audio-tuners, and God knows what other contraptions too much time and money can buy. Isn't this how producers treat stars who can't sing? Then again, non-singers regularly score big singles these days. So perhaps it was a savvy move for Carey to mimic their style. Mariah Carey's latest makes every effort to obscure what should be her calling card - her singing. Certainly, it's a cynical move, if hardly a new one for the singer. Carey's last CD, "E=MC2" also applied a heavy layer of gauze to her voice, though a less gloppy one than this time [...] Coupled with the nervous over-correction of her voice, the result makes Carey seem like the proverbial aging actress who's trying so hard to cover her perceived flaws, all she does is call more attention to them." NYT article in 2009: "When exactly did Mariah Carey stop singing? Even when she began flirting aggressively with hip-hop in the mid-1990s she was happy to impose her titanic vocals atop even the scrappiest production. And no matter how grimy her surroundings became — Ol’ Dirty Bastard, anyone? — she remained inexorably Mariah, an impenetrable acrobat of technique. Of late though, Ms. Carey has been whispering, as if newly scared of grand gestures. On paper Ms. Carey shouldn’t need that help, but her collaborators have underdelivered with largely listless arrangements just as she has thinned her voice to a hush." Entertainment Weekly review in 2014: "That Voice has been through a lot, and you can hear it. There are times on The Elusive Chanteuse when she’s trying to power through a note where it sounds like digital technology might be holding her up by the straps of that crocheted swimsuit." Pittsburgh Courrier review in 2014. Goes into great detail on her voice and holiday performance. Well this is a start. Definitely when including all the recent press from Asia and onward etc.-- Peter Griffin • Talk2Me 05:10, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
