  • I love you C.C. ..When you shared this song with me I felt so cherished by you..

  • Billy Preston and Syreeta are much better. Sorry Mariah!

  • I find no words to discribe this wonderful song...

  • mariah carey and john legend make great duets

  • They killed it!

  • no doubt, The second best besides the original

  • what happened to john's voice at 2:15? scary.

  • These two are a winning pair!! Really! :)

  • Wow, i was just about to say how lackluster of emotion Mariah and John are singing this song; then there are comments below stating the same thing. It looks like Mariah is doing some vocal exercise, instead of actually singing the song with emotion. This is no disrespect to Mariah or John Legend though; as they are both very talented.

    Syreeta brings out the soul in this song!!

    RIP Syreeta!!

  • @TheRedalert7 omg u r jealous

  • regina vasquez is a crazy tacky screeching bitch who makes me wanna jump a bridge!!!

  • Two of my favorites...so beautiful

  • Hearing this is, well, painful. It seems to be a vocal olymimpics. Billy and Syreeta let the lerics shine through.

  • @klausoma hater and jealous u r so sad

  • I agree with Klausoma. The original version by Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright is much better. The melody for this song is absolutely beautiful. It has an eerie existential quality that is lost in this version. Why? For Preston and Wright the performance was all about the music. The two of them wrote the song together. For Carey and Legend, the performance is about the artist. For me that is the difference.

  • @asswipeoftheday well said. I couldn't have said it any better. It just depends on the listener. Do they like the classic where the vocals accompany the music or this one where the music accompanies the singer? Some, like me, appreciate both.

  • @asswipeoftheday Thank you and Amen.

  • Both have incredible talent and un-matched voices and they managed to ruin the song. Sometimes simple is best and the original was the way it should have been done...

  • They are doing christmas song together!!!

    That's really amazing!!

  • Syreeta is just so much more soulful than Mariah............THE TRUTH!

  • Really liked this version, BUT ........Billy and Syreeta did it the most justice, soul just isn't what it used to be.......liking the john legend a bit but Syreeta killed Mariah .....just saying..........

  • @BTOWNPLAYA69 Hey that's cool what you're saying, but I don't think they performed this AT ALL in the spirit of trying to OUT -DO the original. The point was to just do it justice, which they did. Appreciate them for THEIR talent in it's own right and stop trying to find something negative to say about people who are legends in OUR time now. If it wasn't for them singing this beautiful song I would have never know it existed to even go back to the original. I appreciate that ALONE!

  • @lovestoned681

    I agree, but I don't feel it, this seems like an act to me....all the talent in the world but little emotion and love, put into it, billy preston and syreeta put the emotion, soul, and love into this song that mariah and john legend lack.....if you don't believe click on the video to the right. (second from the top, live) .....just speaking the truth........

  • great version but nothing beats the original.

  • can i get an Amen @ 2:11

  • the crowd went nuts and thes 7 octaves not 5

  • amazing performance

  • muy exagerado!!!demasiadas notas!!!!mucho palero hubo ahi en ese concierto.la version de preston es inigualable sin duda alguna...

  • I like the Billy Preston, Syreeta version much

    better.

  • Her voice is orgasmic!

  • She's flawless!

  • but it is good to at least see mariah singing live and not lip-synching

  • this is nice, but Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore did it better

  • sorry, but that is really really bad. i cried to the billy preston/syreta version. i laughed to this one.

  • @jazzmoran this is mariah carey, she can make you shiver or make you laugh. You laughed! that's a reaction to mariah's voice, you always have one otherwise you wouldn't waste your time to listen to this song and to comment. you're part of 27.200 views

  • @jazzmoran

    I completely feel you on this one.......I just didn't feel the love n soul in this

  • Allllllllllllllllllll right, Ms Carey!!! You need to stop girl (2:08). This was a smooth collab. To all you fellow Lambs... cheers.

    10/21/11

  • Everyone bow before a queen! The legendary, the goddess, the queen, the song bird supreme. Mariah sounded heavely! LOVED IT! Thumbs up if you agree.

  • sorry Trey but this was the best live duet with Mariah......John & Mariah did there thang

  • Anyone saying she stole the spotlight and oversang the song is an idiot. If Mariah would of oversang this song, you wouldn't have heard John Legend. There is tons of restraint here and her and Legends harmonies are PERFECT.

  • very unique performance,,, the best!!!mariah knows where to put her notes ,, she's good at it coz she's a song writer and a producer,

  • ahh they sounds beautiful together. realy suit each other

  • Why the hating up in here? I prefer Billy and Syreeta but John and Mariah do a fabulous job putting their own spin on this one~

  • That my MIMI... sing it girl... love you always!!!

  • Must be nice to have a blowing fan follow you through life. lol. Mariah is 1 of the best hands down. Let's be real. Strip off all the make up and enhancements (booty shakin) then pay attention to "the voice". She is above MANY -- her and Whitney, yeah, that's right I said it. Love her & JL such professionals -- true artists.

  • Regine and Maria were a tie on this song (just this song, not overall) but I give the best performance to R&M because they got all the words right. Listen to John Legend on his solo piece. I don't know what that was but he did not say "in step with none" which are the actual words. Still two great performances.....

  • Mariah Carey is a legend & simply brilliant she has the voice of an angel, no matter how many times I've watched this she still gives me goose bumps love love love her!!

  • I didn't know Mariah had that many ass suckers.

  • Ever the ego maniac, Mariah comes out after the song starts to steal the show and disturb the flow of the song. She also likes to hold the notes longer to keep the spot light from Legend. It's a fucked of version of the song. Martin Nievera and Regina Vasquez sing it much better.

  • @Tony63909 HAHAHAHAH yeah fucking right

  • @Tony63909 LMAO, Regina Vasquez? That screaming bitch who has to cover everyone else's songs? What a fucking joke. You sound jealous as fuck that Mariah is the queen and was ASKED to do this duet. It's not like she just randomly walked out and stage and started singing because she felt like it. Stay mad that your fave could never. xx

  • @lawlinat0r I vote you Mariah's number one ass sucker.

  • @lawlinat0r LOL. i know right? that annoying karaoke bitch lmao

  • @Tony63909 No one even knows who those people are your referring to don't be a hater!!

  • I agree, the girl can sang. this song is slow, mellow and simple. She is one of the few female artist of today that is a true songtress.

  • mariahs amazing!!what year is this

  • @nesselegant08 2005 (Save the music)

  • an unique voice ..

  • I love remakes that keep the original arrangement, Billy P/reston would be pleased. Well Done!!!

  • One of the best covers I've heard.

  • they would be a cute couple :]

  • wow!!!!mariah's voice

  • John did a great job but Mariah over sang it. I understand she was trying to put her on stank on it but sometimes if you just humble yourself and get YOU out of the way and do a tribute to the artist you will always come out on top. Didn't like Mariah at all on this remake although she does have a beautiful voice on other songs.

  • @jmcclain6808 one thing about mariah is that she is not showing off with her vocals every time she made a tribute. there is always a purpose behind every note she has hit. speaks volume about her musicianship. plus, it doesn't speak to the level of humility she has.

  • @jmcclain6808 Believe me, Mariah toned it down. Christina A would have oversung the hell out of it. This IS Mariah toning it down. Remember the woman has a 5 octave range. It must be really hard to try not to show it off all the time. As a massive fan of Mariah i can tell u she did not overdo it. She was humble in my opinion it's not her fault the song is soo simple hahaa.

  • This Song is timeless, and should never be tampered with unless you are Billy& Syreeta:)

  • I just love this performance! I love both artists!

  • CLOSE BUT NOT CLOSE ENUFF! BILLY AND SYREETA CAN NOT B OUT DUN(istilllovemariahtho)

  • my commitment cermony song

  • The last long "Agaaain" is just heavenly and when you look at Mariah OMG! it's just SUBLIME! The wind blowing, her magnificent body, her hair, THAT voice. Golden moment.

  • As good as the Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright Muhammad version...

  • please realese a album with soulfull covers and songs Like this

  • this video doesn't need the DISLIKE button. omg MARIAH!

  • Very NICE!!!!

  • Gorgeous Rendition!

  • John's vocals, obviously. Mariah's vocals (high note!), obviously. But can I just say that the strings...they are seriously infiltrating my being. dude, seriously!

  • BEST VERSION !!! 

  • Amazin, Amazing...sometimes you you judt get the mix that is better than th original an dthey have two amazing artitsts on thid one

  • NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL SINGERS....BILLY PRESTON & SYREETA!!!! THEY ARE NOT SINGING TO EACH OTHER AND THEIR VOICES CANT TOUCH THE ORIGINAL VOCALISTS...SORRY GUYS!! NEXT TIME CREATE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL SONG!!

  • @TheKingKristian that's pretty common. whenever artists cover the songs, it's either missed or hit. and the reason to say it's bad are also common: nothing can touch original. BOO...boring..enjoy it or just watch the origin if you love it as the god

  • mariah did 'a voice of heaven' @ 2:12

  • how can you know smile while watching this, love it!

  • Beautiful! They should record together. They did a wonderful job.

  • JOhn Legend looks sooo hot. She should have gone with John than that ugly husband.

  • wow....got goosebumps at the sudden shrieks when mariahs sillhouette appeared

  • this shows mariahs awesome talent 2:09 shows her high pitch is one the most magnificent listening there is... i honestly though it was fake but i kno its not thats wats crazy!!! her five octave pitch is jus magnificent!!!

  • @6024358623 when she did that little whistle note, that was the icing on the cake. I think as with most of her covers, she surpassed the origanal performers in Terms of vocals. She really has to tone it down at times as not to outdo other performers on stage, lol. This song is superb!

  • @Jeramiah327 Exactly, I have been obsessed with Mariah since childhood, her vocals normally do supercede the original artist. Yes, she should tone it down. lol

  • @lawlinat0r I agree, he/she is jealous that Mariah is the best.

  • @6024358623 There was nothing fake about that, My good sir.

  • Awesome!!! full of emotions! Beautiful!!!

  • She slayed!!!!

  • Awesome! Best best best! I love you MC ^^^

  • This was amazing! Better than the original!!
