Yeah the film version definitely has alterations to the track, it was always meant to sound like something humans can't sing.

Crazy impressive

Couldn't help noticing a dude in the background just sort of staring and then leaving, don't know if intentional

Why do you say that?

It's well known trivia, the composer has also talked it

Yeah, it's funny for her to introduce it as though this is the easy part, given that it was clearly made to be impossible to sing.

I remember an opera singer saying it's impossible to do it exactly like in the film. The versions you hear in live performances are impressive in that they already push beyond what the human voice was thought capable of producing before the movie was released. However, the patently impossible parts have been altered to be possible, with either intermediate notes added or jumps removed.

She's pretty good singing, but what are these impossible parts you guys keep saying and no human being is capable of doing? Are you referring to the whistle thing that Mariah Carey does?

The notes are thought to be too far apart too fast.
