EMOTIONS ~ BY MARIAH CAREY

"Emotions" is a song written and produced by Mariah Carey, and David Cole and Robert Clivillés of the C+C Music Factory, and recorded for Carey's second album Emotions (1991). This disco-influenced song has its protagonist going through a variety of emotions, from high to low, up to the point where she declares "you got me feeling emotions" and sings high notes. "Emotions" is disco-influenced pop song and it is written in the key of C major. Carey usually prefers to transpose the key to B♭ major when performing live. arey's vocal range spans more than four octaves on the track, from C₃ to E₇. The song tested and challenged Carey's vocal range which in critics doubted about her voice. This is the first song on which Carey has encountered many high notes to execute and it starts on a falsetto note followed by a belted note. This is one of the reasons why many singers who try to emulate her vocal technique may use an incorrect vocal techinque. The sheet music of the song has a 8va marking on the last part of the song.
