all i want for Christmas is you (live tour 98) Mariah Carey

[krazydowg]

her vocals are incredible in this performance...love it!

[BrownSugar253]

I cant believe this song is that old, 98? I thought It just came out last year during the NBA games, I think it was during the Lakers game last Christmas vs some team.

I like this Christmas song though, Mariah still rhymes.

[kimay4]

@BrownSugar253 no u ignorant bastard. it came out in '94.

[jasonbowtiee]

she can handle the highnotes people! Yes mabye she wasnt feeling good so what! Plus i think they changed the key lower. sounded like she was trying not to laugh in the biginning lol. <3 it!

[MyJana123]

i love mariah carey, but I think she maybe is ill on this video, because she cant handle the high notes

[pastcineo]

her voice was starting to sound really tired

[kardzfn21]

Why does she hafta ruin this by doing a duet w/Justin Bieber? He's a 5 min. "sensation" Mariah Carey has built a career that is-LEGENDARY why go & mess it up w/Justin Bieber? This a classic Christmas song people will remember it & Mariah 50 yrs from now but Justin Bieber they'll be like who's that clown? I'm wrong? Remember Hanson, O-Town, or LFO? Took ya a min or 2 didn't it? All 5 min. "sensations" that's same thing Justin Bieber is! 2013 you'll be like Justin who? Just ask me in 2 yrs!

[jakey1126]

@kardzfn21 because right now there is a new generation of listeners of music coming about that don't know of Mariah's extensive work.. she's a VERY smart business woman to try to reach out to Justin's demographic, which is currently a large portion of the younger generation, i mean im 18 and im a HUGE mariah fan, but i do have a little sister who is 13 and she doesn't know the difference between say mariah and madonna, she knows justin, miley, Glee(for whatever reason), but mariah is smart

[kardzfn21]

@jakey1126 -Is Mariah a smart biz woman? This means 1 thing-U have some work to do! I'm 28, my brother's 26, our sister's 25 back when you had the N*SYNC, Backstreet Boys thing my brother & I were determined NOT to let her get into it? We did-We showed her what REAL music is! 1 song got by BSB's I Want It That way even got 2 my brother & I-I'm glad did b/c our mom loved it she died from cancer in 09 but last nite of TRL my Mom wanted us to act like BSB & perform it-GREAT memory I have of my Mom!

[jakey1126]

@kardzfn21 that's a sad story and all and im sorry for your loss.. but what relevance did this have to ANYTHING that i just said?

[skullnuker]

Ca donne envie de fêter nowel :D

[jaypaidincash]

mariah soudnds WAAAAAYY better than this At this verry moment.. (check her latest christmas album vocals)

[bixxius]

@jaypaidincash she using WAAAAY more enhancements and correction at this very moment. I prefer her sounding like this LIVE than the way she sounds now when she lipsynchs.

[jaypaidincash]

@bixxius mariah does not use enhancements alot like people think.. have you heard her recent live christmas album vocals? she sounds wayyy better now than she did in this clip. here, she is hoarse, and strained. as of right now..mariah's voice is clear, and healthy sounding. check her "one child" performance. she blows her 1998 vocals away..

[zusman84]

@jaypaidincash You are right about that :-)

[zusman84]

@jaypaidincash She also did better on the 2004 performance compare to this one :-)

[jaypaidincash]

@bixxius LOL are you serious? so you are telling me you'd rather her sound HOARSE and damaged..rather than what she sounds like at this very moment??

[bixxius]

@jaypaidincash she sounds hoarse and damaged now when she sings live. the only difference is that she lipsynchs a lot, so it's harder to notice.

[jaypaidincash]

@bixxius Please look up "one child live in washington" and tell me if she is hoarse there..its one of her recent performances..and compare it to this performance. (even tho mariah lips at times..nowadays her voice IS MUCH HEALTHIER THAN IN 1998)

[mediabrunch]

@MrMelancholie So will drinking, antidepressants, not resting and many other things she did tht could be associated to her decline

[sevensilver1]

She wore edgy and more revealing clothes to symbolize her split from Tommy Mottola. In the '96 concert, she was more covered up. She wore a red dress covering way more skin. Here, she's halfway to wearing a swimsuit.

[wal3290]

I'd like to see Bruno Mars sing this at least once :P

[anthonyszy7]

this is very different from the '96 concert.. she's all sexed up here.

[grahamdamnspam]

3:48... scary!

[Dianita2010100]

Very Nice!

[magnum70383]

o man.. her voice was so tired here already.... 98....

[cechavez29]

how could they just be sitting there i would be screaming my face off!!!!!!!!!!

[princ3ssMusicifiy]

I think mariah tried to remake the 96 performance of this song. lol. Joking. We all love mariah and i still love how she sangs it!!!! :D

[TheBTG96]

her lower range is much more hmm how do u say it umm in much better control than it is today... still mariah can not be compared to todays singers.. she is amazing she prob just needs a break from singing so her vocal chords can rest... im still really excited for her new album next year!

[asekun022]

wow !! i really love her hasky voice here :]

[MyLoveForMariahCarey]

I can't believe so many people waste their time discussing whether her voice has changed or not ! Don't you people have better things to do? Decide for yourself if you are a lamb or not...If you are not than let her go! Either you love her or you don't ...& If you do than does it matter whether her voice has changed or not? I wonder sometimes if it is live or not but only becuz I can't go see her in concert ! But don't make this into a battle !

[israfel33]

Oh my God!....

That´s My Mariah!!

Please come back

[Jaygz]

pleasee!

im not enjoying her new stuff

[mz854f]

japs look funny everytime a concert is done in japan, they behave like little girls, lol...

[JPhillippeMusic]

her voice started to get husky around those times, but I love it so much, Idk but I prefer her husky soulful voice over her perfect 1990-1996 vocals

[musicloverboi]

100% live! FANTASTIC!!

[volksrepair]

Mariah pre- implants. Dancing, looking and sounding - VERY HOT.

[cmandmc1991]

great

[huhjunsuk]

damm she looks hot in here

[bentncrazy]

this is definitely sung lower than the 96 one...but still, its great!

[Thomassino80]

She was the most beautiful in this time. Top woman!!!

[misty8924]

hey i was born in 5/14/98 lol

[misty8924]

love u lol

[Star4u1201]

I loveee how Mariah`s voice sounds here. It's like her voice has two different personalities or somethin haha

* she looks so cute in that santa hat

[raen1221]

It's quite funny that even though this is a mediocre performance, anyone who would try to sing this song would not even come close to this performace.

[jj45165]

Have you heard Miley Cyrus sing this song. Horrible. That why Maria is the best.

[MrJosephJones]

hell to the yeah miley sucks at this song.

[mariahboo1]

@jj45165 who is maria?

[mc1ate1mad1cow]

@raen1221 exactly !

[167angelalee]

to me, HER VOICE was not as good as the performance in 96

[cottonCincy]

@167angelalee Nothing...I mean nothing compares to her voice in 95-96. EVER! Good times man good times.

[kin8219]

@cottonCincy actually there's nothing compare to her voice in 2010-2011 too

[manuseal]

OMG, is a cabaret performance!!

[plm1236]

bad performance in everyway, sorry mariah but you sucked in this performance, but I still love you anyway.

[pakman54321]

she looks ridiculous in those clothes her 96 performance is better

[HuShism]

THis is really embarrassing. If i were Mariah, id stop singing and just try being a bold star since she is trying hard to look sexy and she is in fact a sex icon wannabe..she can never be as sexy and as talented as beyonce. beyonce can sing and dance...she can only sing..stiff and boring!

[NancyBotwinIsGod]

Mariah was a sex symbol back then, technically she still is. Although I do agree, she's 40 now...She needs to calm down with showing off her midriff and tits, and start learning how to sing again. She was 28 there, the same age as Beyonce is now, I don't see you criticizing Beyonce wearing a leotard. Those skirts were fashionable back then and it was appropriate for her age to wear them. Her singing is pretty bad here though, considering this is one of her easier songs.

[jaypaidincash]

this song is not as easy as it seems..atleast to me..idk..just saying

[misty8924]

ppl are going down on here why lol ur telling it how it is!!!

[HBFMovement]

wait... was this a real DVD???

where did u get it?

[McNatanael92]

Beyoncé will never be so successful as Mariah, neither her simple voice will compare to Mariah's, so shut up and leave her alone, because she's one of the BEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME, AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOS SUCCESSFUL IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!

[HuShism]

Mariah is OVERRATED! She WAS one of the best singers BUT NEVER WAS the one and only best. There were great singers also. With her current voice, She def WILL NEVER be the BEST. Her voice is CRAPPY, CRACKS A LOT, HARSH as if she is grating something in her throat. Seeing her perform makes people nervous she might get off-key. Live performance, she SUCKS a lot, STIFF, BORING. Worst, she DESPERATELY turned into a TRYING HARD, SEX ICON WANNABE to get people's attention. YUCK! PATHETIC!

BEYONCERULES

[swinner90]

Beyonce sucks all the way. Mariah the voice! Beyonce the dancer.

[EmilyandJoe108]

she did sound weird here and what is that cheap outfit she is wearing, i mean that white fur and hat. i liked her performance in tokyo

[britneyfannn1996]

poor her.. i think she had a cold

[hollywoodcokewhore]

she sounded so dry and dark tht night...so weird

[tonyottantadue]

mamma mia che FICAAAAA!!!!!!

[yenyd14344]

at 6:06, TOREY LORENZ? or TREY LORENZ. .

[OKzs]

Whoa, good eye.

Love this one but I still miss the "Ever knooow" at 1:37

[poshheiress12]

her voice was still there during this period of time.

it's just that she wasn't in a good voice-condition.

she was probably exausted.

performing in a concert is a touch job.

you'll be needing to sing a lot of songs live and do all those adlibs.

[dramascream1]

ok u can stop clapping after an hour

[JenniferLopezhottie2]

omfg

[hollywoodcokewhore]

this is wat happened to her voice...forcing herself to sing on days like this when she clearly was not in the shape to perform... she was dark sounding, scratchy and really should have been somewhere resting her voice....i cant even stomach the runs...

[Alessia1978]

It was a world tour. For sure it had strained her voice. But thats just usual and her voice was recovered after the tour.

And keep in mind, she did that for the fans.

[medinangel]

this is the best song. i like it.

[pun1sh4]

Indeed, this really gets me into the real Christmas mood :) Thx

ad.: Correct the mistake in the information (upper right) - it's all i want for christmas is (not if) you ;)

[medinangel]

thank you. i make the mistaka.

[KLIFF55]

LOVED iT! THX 4 POSTiN THiS UP =)

[smarties068]

fricking hell this song has to be one of the best christmas songs i have ever listened to i listen to it all year round and i have to admit the vocals are absolutely brilliant make anougher one please mariah

[chipmunkaraoke]

she sounded nice but isn't it just me who find her voice in grammy 2008 sounded more like the earlier mariah than this?

[darkryder1188]

guess she started to lose her voice right about then...

[SME213]

no that was too early for her to lose her voice, that happened in about the early 2000's it started to go a little down hill, but this year, its been really bad live.

[illdymeond]

wow i thought i seen every mariah performance.. i never seen this one! she did this so good considering it was 98

thanks for posting!!

[medinangel]

you welcome.

[11804246]

Beautiful!

[repentyourselff]

love my life at 2:11 when she almost falls.

OH.

[latinchica4lyfe]

i luv mariah she brings this song to life.

miley ruined, i dont understand why she would even try to sing a song from a legend like mariah she can't sing.

anyways mariahs the best.

[pajass2002]

i'm as shocked as you...i was looking for any live performance from Mariah and that sh*t came to my screen...finally i got to watch the original and best....this song is like no other, it turns on my holiday every year

[jeremimi]

@latinchica4lyfe mariah wrote this song

[Karlrecords]

there on the net you know

[medinangel]

sorry i had only this video.... for the rest of the video i dont know where you can see it...

why? do you went to this concert?

[Karlrecords]

thx so much for posting this video wasn't like on youtube for more than a year

[czechhelmut]

Hi, I´m from Czech Republic and I want to ask you, why is she not so famous by us like for example Beyoncé??????

[medinangel]

i dont know but she has a beautiful voice.. they are two diferent woman i like beyonce too her dancer but i prefer mariah.. maybe she is no so famous in Czech Republic but is in the rest of world..

i love mariah...

[chaoticxquixotic]

Well...Mariah was huge in the 90's. So you need to clarify your quesiton: Even your parents don't know Mariah? Are you young? Because Beyonce is HUGE based on her popularity for hip hop and Beyonce is a face in everything: perfumes, movies, etc. Mariah was really huge in the 90's, but flopped after 2000. Although her latest album was a hit. But that was a while ago.

[czechhelmut]

Sorry, i don´t speak English, but my parents don´t know Mariah. I am 16 and the´re 40, but i think pacity people by us can her. And I don´t know why, i think she more better than Beyoncé.

[Karlrecords]

also now you got the internet that is like really big, mariah did it with the old marketing strategies

[mimispice2007]

if you try to watch all of her concerts or tv guestings..i'm sure you will be amazing to her voice...also she's so pretty & hot girl!!1..i don't want to convince you to like MARIAH but it's up to you if you will like her or not..because beyonce is a new solo female singer..while MARIAH since 1990 bu until now she's still there...

[czechhelmut]

Do you can to understand Bebot - black eyed peace??? Hoy pare pakinggan nyo ko Eto nang tunay na filipino Galing sa baryo sa pangbato Pumunta ng LA nagtrabaho Para makatulong sa nanay Dahil sa hirap ng buhay Pero masaya parin ang kulay Pag kumain nagkakamay Yung kanin, chicken adobo Yung balot, binebenta sa kanto Tagay mo na nga ang baso Pare ko inuman na tayo What does mean???

[squeeeze]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooove her.

[orangeeu]

very nice :D

[medinangel]

i love you mariah.

merry christmas
