It's funny there are as many regimens, superstitions, hurdles that singers go through before a show and then others that just walk on and do it. So weird how it works easily for some and not for others. Some people have damage on their cords that help their voice be the way it is. Mariah Carey actually has nodules and that's how she can hit those nuttyass whistle register things that she does (and yeah, her voice isn't what it once was, but hey). With Deen, he should probably just leave well enough alone unless he's having issues, which I don't hear in his singing.
Herbie always said that Chalfant didn't warm-up either.
