  • 100% live ;) the best singer of all time

  • The best singer in the world!!!

  • People don't wanna believe she's live! Cos she is that damn good :)

  • Doesnt sound the slightest bit lipped, what the hell is wrong with people lol.

  • lo mejor de todos los años eres la number one

  • the last chorus is lipped. until the long note. its pretty obvious because it's the vocals from the original song but with the pitch lowered, so her voice sounds kind of heavy and low when in reality her voice is much lighter when singing that part, even with her voice as it is today.

  • love it!! after all those year from bad finger to harry nilson to air supply and still it melting me!

  • a melhor cantora do mundo.................

  • Mariah Carey Still Has it in her

  • All the high notes are lipped. LOL you can hear her 1993's recorded voice in those notes. What a cheat.

  • THIS IS AWESOME... STFU haters!

  • good performance mariah!! but this is live. It's obv, because her voice changed betwwn 93 and 05 duh. that's how i can always tell when she lip this song. but yeah this was live. good to hear her sing in her lower reg now:)

  • Where was this? And this is all live btw.

  • @calvin9999999999 and the haters said she couldnt sing this anymore :) 

  • She sounds even better than back in the day xD Her mid register is SO RICH, such resonance! Beautiful.

  • 1:29, I think it was lipped and the second chorus as well. It looks too much like the 1993 studio version but with a lower key... I'm a fan of MC, she's the best female singer ever but I don't think it was 100% live. Those parts are too perfect...

  • @mknsmkl01 You're right. Those parts are the studio version in a lower key.

  • @mknsmkl01 Right!! i am her fan as well but i share your opinion. i f you pay close attention to it you can hear the change from live to playback and viceversa. i love her anyways. she must dothist to keep her voice in good shape to delight us with new albums,no? :):)

  • @felo4444 No, she does that because she cannot do it live due to her constant voice problems.

  • we need her voice.so she must take care of it for her new productions which are a lot. This year,maybe, she is bringing out a new album.we already know what she is capable of doing with her voice.So she doesn't need to prove anything else in this sense.i think we should support her lipsynching anyways,no? her voice has to be in perfect condition to keep on killing it in the studio....:):)

  • @felo4444 I'd just like for her to rest a lot before she makes the next album. Fans want to hear her sound good on both the studio and live performances as well, I know I do. I also hope she moves around the stage more in her live performances cause midway into the E=MC2 era until now she's been real stiff.

  • is mariah able to sing the sing in the original key she sang the song from the early 90's?

  • @the09conradz

    She can, and she has. But she's playing to her strengths. This particular song sounds better in this key because it sounds less strained, and far more resonant.

  • @gloomyoutlook oh i see. I'm sad she doesn't sing this song very often anymore. She doesn't sing Buttlerfly anymore.

  • Interesting this is live and she can still sing it... Thanks for the video

  • which concert was that ...she sounds 200% LIVE and she sounded ammmmmmazing ....

    mariah the best voice everrr...love ya thanx for posting !!

  • @catsmartie yeah..the second chorus is lipped, right! she could never sustained that 18-second long note since in her daydream era, with 15 seconds..don't get me wrong, though..i m also her fan..but yeah...apart from that, she sang live and it's awesome. :)

  • @kelvinpyaeko in 2003 live at Manila she dured 19 sec

  • @12Jeancr well, i hate to say..but that was lipped at manila tour..the only live version she has ever done after her daydream tour was the one at Milan..check that out..it doesn't really matter though how long she could sustain...as long as she is giving us strong 100 % live performances, i love it . don't get me wrong, though lol (i understand when artists have to lip sometimes)

  • @catsmartie seriously, why do you people have to keep accusing her lipsync when she is TOTALLY LIVE! she fights hard to bring amazing performance so stop it! i agree that she always lipsync but this is DEFINITELY LIVE

  • TE AMO MARIAHHHHHHHHHH CON TODO MI CORAZON!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no one can Beat MC even W.Houston can't beat her!!! LOve u MC

  • Love you Mariah!!! <3 <3

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • karlsruhe, Germany

  • mariah carey sem duvida é a maior e melhor cantora de todos os tempos...

  • This is as live as it gets! People who can't get it should have the ears washed! Stop accusing her of lipping when it's obviously not!

  • i'm not convinced the choruses are lipped, they do sound slightly different to the original. The long note up to 3:07 could be live, she doesn't go straight back into the chorus like usual, but takes a breather before joining in again. Some people sound so 100% certain, but i've seen when she lips and its painfully obvious. Here its difficult to tell, the quality isn't great and we can't see her face up close. In this era her voice was in good shape so i'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.

  • @isuckatguitar100 the chorus is completely liped, the key is lowered. listen very carefully to the second time she sings the chorus, the way she says "if living is without you" the second time in the second chours, sounds IDENTICAL to the original recording, just a lowered key. check out real talent, air supplys version. never lipped, and 100percent better

  • @StevesMusicChannel EXCUSE Me? check out real talent? that implies AS IF mc doesn't have talent? then why must you bother to come her and watch it? i know the chorus is lipped, but only the second part! but that sentence is too rude and offensive...:S

  • @CDionLive It was rumored that in 96 on Daydream tour, she hit an A5 in hero, but no footage or clips were found. but, i think she can go to a Bb5 at the most..at least in studio. her voice is in its best condition in about 13 years.

  • @bfhfsuruyw Did u ever find that A5?

  • @CDionLive I'm talking about belting though

  • I think Mariah uses Vibrato a LOT more these days, because if you look back, Mariah actually hits HIGHER notes than she did when she first came out. I doubt she could've hit an A5 in 1990-1993. she recently hit it in her The Emancipation Of Mimi & Charmbracelet albums. I believe she could hit a Bb5 too. Don't forget she still has 5 octaves.

  • lipsync from 1:30

    her studio vocal is in a lower key ))) lol

  • @gosty111. Mariah has NEVER had problems singing this live, her voice handles it really well, any decent singer with a 5 octave range could pull it off anytime.

  • @danmillerscotland come on....clean your ears

    she lipped this song during last 15 years

    even in her charmebracelet tour she didn't sing this live, only beginning of the song

  • @gosty111. Come on, you honestly expect me to just believe something just because you believe it? the woman has a five octave range, she hits higher notes in "I Stay In Love" live, at least I can get my opinion from facts than hear say.

  • @danmillerscotland crazy lamb

  • @gosty111. Yeah which is why i see her low and high points?

    Sorry that i don't resort to dissing her all the time, I'm just SICK of people dissing Miss Carey for the exact same thing, something she can't change.

  • That blew me away. She is an impossible.

  • you know what? even knowing it wasnt 100% live, I love this video and performance, because I feel as part of the crowd, I feel the emotion, everyone was really into that and this is what's all about... her voice wont be the same anymore, but its still her voice

  • hot. she still sings like shes broke.

  • KEN LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • hmmm .. this performance is LIVE but i think the arrangement was a key lower than the original ..

  • she was in a hurry.. lol

  • wow.. she nailed it!! pure Live!!

  • please watch the video "Abraham Mateo (11 años) WITHOUT YOU en Mas Que Baile".

    Abraham Mateo is a 11 years old spanish boy with an incredible voice. He recently released his first album in Spain and has been praised by many artists

  • Dis was live...ne true fan know wen she's live n wen she's not u can even hear her take breath in between parts of di song....ppl kno ur music..

  • This was before she went on tour in the usa, this was like a promotional tour, kind of what she did in 2008 in tokeyo, then she did the 2009 las vegas thing, and now shes on tour

  • This is good. It's kind of more faithful to the original too! She isn't as bad as people say she is live these days.

  • @aidanholm this was in 2005 shes sucks alot more now....altho shes improving tho

  • its was 200% all live...pls listen carefully!

  • @vez428 No! You Listen Carefully!!

  • choruses are lipped

  • totally that groll on the belted parts not her style today

  • in 2005, was her peak like 1996! she could still sing this!

  • What?there's no comparison between 1996 and 2005 please, 2005 was not too bad, nothing compared to 90's.

    And yeah they lowered the original version on some parts, her voice sound so weird lmao (big giant voice), anyone with some ear can hear that.

  • I have an ear, but I also know it would be easier for her to sing in a lower key, plus she's a natural alto...Why wouldn't she be able to hit these?

  • @Lorenzodolor it is sang in lower key

  • She sounds so amazing when she belts in her lower register. Wish we could get another song with that in it. Preferably a ballad.

  • 3:15 at least proves she still can sing this (or could in 2005).. I don't know about the whole lowered recorded vocal thing, but 3:15 ish is liiiive..

  • The original recording is a half step higher, and you can hear the vowel/formant distortion after being pitched down to match the live key she is singing in because the lipped parts (prerecorded vocals like in the chorus) sound like a giant version of mariah is singing. She has amazing vocal talent but the way she sings uses a lot of muscles around her larynx, which tires out the voice. She cant get through an entire song anymore, but after nearly 20 years thats not surprising; i still love her!

  • great performance! she still has it....

  • Amazing long note of 2:46-3:03

    loved the new ad-libs at 3:06

    the best ever

  • wow...at 2:53 - 3:03 a long notes/...it's her TAOM tour also?...she must include this part from her TAOM DVD...COZ I LOVE IT!!..thnx for uploading lamb!

  • It's 100% live u idiot !! Any fool can tell that !! U just can't admit she's that damn good :)

  • 100% live

  • I hope it is a free concert. I know if I PAY to hear Mariah Carey, I want to hear Mariah Carey, not 10,000 drunken idiots singing along.

  • thats l00% totaly LAMBS just knw

  • it was 100% live..haters r u insecure??hahaha..

  • no I believe that's 100% live

  • Nope. She is indeed lipping the chorus.

  • And You No THis Because?

  • Because the proof is right there to hear and see to whoever isnt deaf, blind or fanatic enough.

  • Hahaha I Doubt That YOu Dum Shit

  • LOL! Thats the way you ignorants work, right? Degrade and insult the messager when you cant argue message itself. Suit Yourself.

  • I hope no one thinks this is completely live. and part of the grammys was lipped..no way she could hit a G#5 live. sorry.

  • R u Mariah Carey?

    You Must No More Than Her What Shes Capable Of Lol

    Sorry Your A Joke

  • you're the joke if you can't tell the 2nd part of the first chorus when she says 'i can't live, i can't give anymore' is the record taken down a step. i'd like to hear your explanation of how her voice gets such a deep tone for those few lines.

  • Exactly. You can totally tell that it's the recorded vocals taken down. Her live vocals sound a lot different in this performance compared to the lipped ones. Check 2:15 to 2:22 and you can hear the difference. She did this on her "Charmbracelet" tour as well.

    I love MC and I'm not saying this to call her out b/c I'm sure this is a difficult song to sing, but let's be real people...

  • are you joking? i can tell its been dropped a notch but its defnitely live!

  • her voice was actually really really good from 04'-05' . I think it had the same power just a key lower from 95'-96'

  • this is LOWERED lol it cant be lipsynching to the 1993 one WOW

  • She is not at her very best anymore in this performance, the occasional hoarseness gives it away. Her voice was not like this in 93 and it sounded so different from that version as well. How on earth did you come to the conclusion that she is lipsynching with the 1993 track??? Whether or not she pre-recording a version before the preformance I cannot tell because of the poor video quality of the clip. It's unlikely, and I am sure she can put together some better in studio. Admit it, she is good!

  • Obviously she can still sing

  • yep!!! she's the best!!!

  • she's not lip syncing...

  • man this is awesome!! u can barely hear her sing this song live these days!!! excellent mariah~

  • her singing was awesome base on the fact that she sang it in 2005

  • SHe lipsynched the chorus. SHe only sings the verses live. Then she sings live from 3:07 until the end.

  • actually diz song is not lipsynshed at all!! believe me if it was i would kno!!!!

  • Well, you missed this one because it is. The last time she sang without you completely live was on the rainbow tour in milan 2000.

  • but she sounds differnt from the song!!! da song aint sing it like dat!!

  • She sings live the first and the second verse. ANd she lipsynchs the chorus. She is using her 1993 recording, she just lower the key thats why she sounds "darker".

  • Comment removed

  • Yes. She is using the actual recording from the Music Box album . As I said before, the last time she really performed this song completely live was on the rainbow tour in Milan 2000.

  • u jus need 2 accept da fact mariah aint lip syching!! cuz my gurl sounds beautiful and she still got ha voice!! n if u think she lip syching keep dat 2 ur self!! cuz u jus sound like a hater!! jus watch and enjoy da performance like every bodi else!!

  • The fact is that she actually is lipsynching here.

  • Comment removed

  • Nope. Its not that I think whatever I want. It's actually there to hear and see to whoever isn't blind, deaf or fanatic enough.

  • Comment removed

  • Because her voice deteriorated due to nodules.

  • Comment removed

  • She has nodules since she was a child. Singing with nodules is not healthy and damages the voice. But dont worry, youu are not going to understand.

  • um apparently u dnt understand!!! um i kno more about mariah dan u will eva kno!! n she said wit ha nodeles if she dnt have enuf sleep she sounds bad and she have 2 lip sycnch!! so talk wat u kno

  • Nodules is a condition. Its not about sleeping. And please write english correctly because I barely understand you.

  • Comment removed

  • No one is telling anything to Mariah. Im telling this to you. She has been lipsynching the harder parts of her songs since 1999-2000 because her voice is SEVERELY damaged. Nodules symptoms include hoarseness, painful speech or singing, frequent vocal breaks and reduced vocal range, and those are all the symptoms that Mariah has. Her songs are even harder to sing than her previous songs. She is an studio singer now, she cannot pull off any of her latest songs completely live.

  • Comment removed

  • You go back to the jungle you came out. You cant even speak your own language. You know me as much as you know nodules or vocal heath so in other words you know nothing of either at all. .And by no means you can articulate a musical debate. Suit yourself, savage.

  • Comment removed

  • Bye.

  • Because when you in studio you can do a lots of takes until you satisfied the notes that you hit and in live you only got one shot and you cannot repeat it, so maybe sometimes she sangs in a pitchy way but so what? Don't you sawher 2008 American Music Award when she sang I Stay In Love and she did it............Haters

  • Exactly. And because in live you only have one shot she cannot take the risk of failing. When you have vocal nodules they reduce your vocal ranged and your voice breaks all the time, specially in severe cases like Mariah. Thats why she has to lipsynch the long belted parts like she did on I Stay In Love.

    PS: I dont like the haters either.

  • Some days are better than others. And according to mariah, shes had these nodules since she was 17 and they are what able her to reach all these high notes.

  • What Mariah said is that the nodules helped her to do the whistle register, not the regular high notes. And its not impossible, it is very clear, and shes done it before. I actually saw it live MANY times, and she always do the same.

  • Ok then, its near impossible to tell if Mariah miming in this clip. We cant see Mariahs expressions (which can be a dead give away if shes miming) and the sound quality isnt that good either.

    Mariahs had these nodules since she was a little girl and every now and then they play her up ('98-00 and '06-09) Shes had some vocal training to sort them out in 2002 and she was considering having them removed but never did.

  • Its not impossible. You just need to hear it. Some people can percieve it, some not. Aside from that, nodules is a condition that gets worst and worst. You can have all the technique you want and the best vocal coach on the world, that if you have nodules you will always be straining and damaging your voice. Being that said, and aside from the sound difference between her voice and the lipsynching, it is impossible for her to sing like that. She cannot sing that smooth without cracking.

  • please...nothing is impossible...she can and she does...

  • And thats another thing nodules produce. If you listen to her records in order you will notice that the cracks became more frequent. Specially since Butterfly tour. Husky, worn out and raspy. She does lipsynch the harder parts of her songs because she is not able to deliver without cracking or losing her voice on stage. Look at her Mimi tour, she lipsynched all the harder parts of her songs. She just simply cant. This is not bashing her at all, this is her reality.

  • no she didnt....the tour was 100% live and she was praised for that in the music industry...

  • Ive seen her live millions of times. Im not saying she lipsynchs the whole performances, she just lipsynchs the harder parts. The Mimi tour took most her the voice she had left. When she sings live she sounds like she did in the MJ Memorial or the Americas Got Talent performance, and in the latter she actually lipsynched some parts. She even lipsynched on the Grammy awards in 2005, and you can clearly notice that. I was in awe when I saw her lipsynching there.

  • The Grammys were definetly not lipped. Mariah has very obvious signs when she lip syncs. Her hands and general movement is very different.

    Mariah has had these nodules since she was a little girl, even during her vocal peak she had them. Right now, shes just going through a bad patch with them. By having some vocal training, speech therapy or vocal rest, things get better. Mariah went through all of this back in 2002 the recoperate her voice.

  • I have vocal nodules myself and there a pain in the arse, so i can understand what Mariah is going is through. Although surgery is the only way of permanently getting rid of them, there are other ways to 'cover them up' as such. All of the above do help and they get rid of the huskiness etc but then when you over use your voice again it all comes back.

  • Same happens on FLAB. And with all due respect, if you cannot notice it, then there is nothing I can do. You either see it or not. Evidently you cant, so I think this discusion is pointless.

  • Yes. She lipsynched the difficult parts. Do you understand anything about sound engineering and live sound? If not, let me explain it to you. For example lets take the final part of WBT at the Grammys. On the final belted part she is belting the song with the mic almost inside her mouth, that is technically impossible. It is impossible to sound that way with the mic so close to the mouth. Then on the final note (which is live) she puts the mic away. Do you see the difference?

  • I beliveve you are right nicevidbro, but I just wanted to tell you be carefull with this kinf of analysis because sometimes it can be a remastered version of the live that corrects this kind of volume variation. I hate these remastered versions !

  • hahahahah please grammy's was 150% all live...

  • Sorry. I already tried to discuss this with you and you dont want to understand. So talking to you is pointless. Please, dont reply to any of my comments. Thank you.

  • If she doesnt get them sorted soon she may end up like Whitney.

  • Are you talking about dchris15? cause this dchris15 really get on my nerves........

  • Having vocal nodules has nothing to about sleeping. When you use you're voice too much, and overpower it, you will get vocal nodules. That's what Mariah have done.

    You obviously don't know that much about Mariah in fact

  • Comment removed

  • Haters.......

  • Comment removed

  • haha as if she would ever say that haha, "i didnt get enough sleep yesterday. i am going to lip sync today"

  • man your so pethetic!! you must be like ten or eleven cuz ur just acting really slow... she doesnt tell people when she does it,but she saoid some times when she doesnt get enuf sleep she has lip synch before!!! im really not gon argue with u cuz u just have no clue what ur talking about!! only her really true fans know what im talking about.... u must just started being a fan,because she's open and honest to her fans...

  • oh my god, dont state everything as if it were a fact, may be she is lipsynching may be not, dont make up stuff leke shes using the old recording and lowered the key to sound darker...she might have done it for a diff reason...youre not in her head you stupid.......................

  • IT IS a fact. She is indeed using the original recording with a lower key. And dont insult me because its not my fault that you feel frustrated because you cannot notice the lipsynching. And it is not my fault either if you cannot articulate a mature debate about vocal health because you dont understand the subject.

  • ohh so i suppose its also in the recording with the audience singing along with her and the break for just the audience to sing...and her breathing and everything...and if it was lipsynched then it should sound perfect which it does not at all

  • Are you deaf AND stupid? She is lipsynching to the 1993 track. Of course the audience is singing with her because it is a concert. Her breathing? From what we all know breathing can be recorded... Keep dreaming, you are just another deaf obsessed fanatic who has no idea about how the voice works and  you only base your knowledge on your preferences and feelings.

  • first off u must be deaf and stupid to think that its the same as 1993...her voice back then was way different then now and this is her now voice...and second ive taken many many voice lessons and music classes and know wat im talking about so dont make assumptions about ppl u dont know...

  • Im not making assumptions. You clearly show no knowledge about the subject, or at least no ear. I dont THINK it is the same as 1993, IT IS the same. She just lowered the key. She is singing live only the first and 2nd verse. The choruses are lipped from the 93 recording with a lower key. At the end from the minute 3:07 on she sings live again. And you can clearly notice the difference.

  • u can live in ur dilusional world if that makes u happy...im done talking about this with ppl who dont know anything about it and dont know mariah

  • It is "delusional". And the one who is deluded is YOU. Keep living in your delusion, where Mariah is your personal friend and she can still sing exactly like she did in the 90s.I really do pity you. Goodbye.

  • did i say anything about her being able to sing the same way as the 90s? no cuz its not the same which i like...

  • You are not even able to distinguish between a full live performance and a half-live performance. Then youre telling me I dont know Mariah...how ironic. Im done arguing with you, You know me as much as you know Mariah or vocal health, so in other words, you know nothing of either at all. Replies will be unread.

  • HAHAHHAAHA IS ALL I CAN SAY!!! HAHAH

  • Wow thank you, it's so amazing that people cannot tell when she goes from live to lip to live.

  • I sort of hear what you mean. But at the end when she is defo singing live (3:07 onwards), she sounds great and as good as cd version.

    Tbh though, its impossible to judge from this mobile phone recording.

    And regarding her voice, she does sound like she did in the 90s just with less power.

  • But I think she did not lip the whole thing.

  • she sang it again in 2008

    she can do this, duh

  • breathtaking

  • this is live performance !!!!!!!!!

  • oh it was on my Birthday on July 9th in Rheinstetten near Karlruhe,it was so a wonderful Day and my nicest Birthday that I will never forget in my Live.Mariah you are Wonderful

  • wonderfull :)

  • VERY FYUCKING GOOD MARIAH yay

  • it's live for god sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
