  • She breaks me to tears whenever I hear this song. I think its such a beautiful song.

  • when she sings high notes now, she has this unique ability to whistle at the same time as she hits really high notes like this !!!!! just unbelievably awesome !!!!!

  • She always flares her hands when she's trying to hit those notes... Defiantly LIVE! :)

  • this is 100% live, if it is a pre record it should be better than this, and this is her the worst live perf of this, see how much better of the worst of mariah's and the best of someone else's

  • nice music live.....voice...all!

  • If I will choose of having MARIAH or WHITNEY of course I'll Choose MARIAH for me to be able to have fun 'cause she's so great!LOL

  • pre cash money......parents made her a brick gold mine

  • LOL @ 3.10 she hits her mouth with the microphone LOL LOL

  • wow her freaking back up singer sounded just awful if i was mariah i would of stopped the music and told her to just shut the hell up baby, i could understand if her back up singer could hit that note but she cant

  • @crazy655 That´s Mariah´s voice trying to sing it behind the pre recorded track

  • I really like how she's accidentally hitting notes that everyone else wishes they could sing.

  • This performance is 100% live. You can hear chirping sort of noises while she is singing (squeaks I guess. Probably due to nodule damage. It's absolutely okay though, and doesn't make a difference to how amazing she sounds.) through the entire song (2:59 - 3:02, 2:33 - 2:38, 2:58 - 3:03)

  • @Snookiiiii lmfao! I know its like she's singing in unison with her whistle, its so awesome she slayed though!!! this woman >>>>

  • at 2:33 you can hear her whistle notes wanting to kick in.

  • @JayyeMusic yea thats weird,...i just noticed that... i wonder if thats normal..

  • @JayyeMusic That's the backup singer! You can hear her in a lot of her songs hitting those notes

  • @lukituchi Its not her background singers its her. That sound happens due to vocal nodules when you push alot of air. I know because it happens to me sometimes. Its been happening to her for years when she had different background singers for different performances. It happens to other singers too however they are usually sick when they accidentally produce those sounds.

  • @JayyeMusic that ugly whistle that kicked in was her back ground singer who tries so hard to hit that note when she knows she cant

  • @crazy655 That's not her backup singer. Her backup singers are professionally trained. Do you really think she would allow them to do those ugly high notes like that? Or that they would do it themselves? She was singing too close to the mic and the mic was giving off feedback. It's possible she was making that sound as well, because of her nodules on her vocal cords.

  • @crazy655 Tha´t her trying to sing it behind the pre recorder track

  • You are so punk rock MC there is no performer more amazing and extreme than you. Your voice captures the voice of 'god' as an independent inner voice for every person in the world that gives us hope and guidance when we are lost. I don't mean that in a crazy fundamental Christian way but a more open and spiritual way. Sometimes we need to find that voice within and your music takes us there! Thanks baby doll!! xx

  • Wow

    

  • There are people who think that lipped parts need to be necessarily cut from a studio album! -.-" LOL! So dumb! There are pre-recorded parts, watch a few videos of Celine to understand how they work! :-D

  • @3:19-3:52 Ladies and gents, the phenomenal double-nature of Mariah's voice at work. :) Intriguing.

  • @TheMCLamb4ever This is caused by nodules.

  • this song gives me chills nd makes me cry when she gets into it.

  • there's only one person who can beat MC... HERSELF!!!

  • lol @ people saying she is lipsynching.

    That's a testament to how GREAT she sounds!

    Mariah is the GREATEST SINGER of our generation.

  • BLOODY HELL WHAT A WHISTLE NOTE LOL SHE NAILED IT :*

  • @BabyLamb01 that was lipsynched dahhling

  • @CowriahSlutarey fuck off u mothafucka moron .l.

  • @CowriahSlutarey that wasn't lip synched, such a good ear xd

  • @CowriahSlutarey You a fucking Hater Get a life and get off Youtube bashing a person who i a legend something your not

  • @CowriahSlutarey wow youre a bullshit :)

  • @CowriahSlutarey Madonna's worldwide sales tally is hovering around 130-140 million-

    Whitney Houston WORLDWIDE CAREER ALBUM SALES 128,600,000-

    Celine Dion had sold over 200 million albums worldwide.-

    Soundscan - August 28, 2009:

    Celine Dion has sold 50,807,000 albums in the SoundScan era (just a tad shy of Carey's 51,837,000)

    Mariah Carey Total Sales:178.3 million copies world wide-

  • @cechavez29 Tell them. Exactly.

  • @CowriahSlutarey she is NOT lip syncing. this sounds nothing like the album! it is a LIVE performance!

  • Her looks here is just way back RAINBOW ALBUM.. hahehehe

  • she looked kinda pissed lol love you #Mariah

  • NOBODY CLAPPED AT THE END BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE A RELIEF EVEN. NOBODY CLAPS AT RELIEF FOR RELIEF PERFORMANCES. JUST GO WATCH MADONNA OR BEYONCE "HOPE FOR HAITI" PERFORMANCE. NOBODY CLAPPED THEIR EITHER. THESE KIND OF EVENTS ARE NOT REALLY ABOUT THE ARTIST BUT THE CAUSE.

  • I think it's still so powerful here!

  • I think something went wrong with her vocal cords, she tried to go lower after realizing she was whistling while belting.

  • @stardusth20 is right. Mariah is lip-syncing certains parts of the songs and the pre-recorded vocals pan in and out and the mic is left on so you can hear the air pushing out and making a whistle sound when she is lipping it.

  • GREAT ! another thumbs up MIMI !!!

  • She is so great! I never get tierd of listening to her sing.

  • Where's that whistling coming from? Is it MC or someone else?

  • @ale5677 The whistling is from her breathing into her mic while the playback is going on some parts. It happened in alot of songs, but mostly this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Mariah fan, but this has some playback in it.

  • @stardusth2o Let's say that she did use playback for some parts of the song. Then why would she be stupid enough to leave her mic on during those parts? That's irrational.

  • @ale5677 Because she scatters the playback around in her performances, so that people will overlook the parts that sound the same because there are enough parts that are different. She goes in and out of lipping and they don't turn her mic off because she still has to sing some parts. Understand? :)

  • @stardusth2o That's exactly that LOL. So much "lamb" fail to, understand that, that's sad :)

  • @stardusth2o Nah, it's just feedback from the mic. It's because she's belting so close to the mic. She definitely sings along to playback, but I doubt she'd continuously create that whistling noise by breathing into the mic if she were lipping. It has to just be the mic being unable to take the belting.

  • @Raimundo91 You sure? apparently her nodules sometimes go out of control and do that weird whistle sound when she belts...

  • @theovanua Nah, I'm positive it's feedback from the mic.

  • This is one of her worst performances of this song........

    The grammy one is MUCH better!

    in this one:

    -the backing track fails at 2:25 @ "up to the sky"

    -Her Backing singer is trying to whistle YET AGAIN

    -Her transitions in the beginning aren't as smooth

    -Her voice sounds pretty strained and cracks a bit

    - The playback is rather obvious at some parts

    But i love the song and the other performances.

  • @richzero0 It's not the backup singer who's trying to whistle : D I think it's Mariah herself who's singing and at the same time her voice goes to the whistle register. Don't ask me how that happens, but she's so talented she can do two voices at the same time (irony)! But seriously, I almost certain that is her voice kinda cracking a bit =)

  • @pmfa91 It's feedback from the mic.

  • @richzero0 It's not the backup singer. It's feedback from the mic. It's just cause she's belting into it at such a close range. I noticed the backtrack failing, too. lol The face she gives the tech guy (assuming) is hilarious, too.

  • one of my favorite song of mariah , great performance for my the best live fly like a bird , but why lipping some parts ? she can sing great live dont need lipping

  • What the crap is that whistly thing in the background whenever Mariah holds a note? It sounds horrible. Let Mariah sing! But other than that, great performance!

  • Does anyone know if Kelly Price still sings background for Mariah? I love this song so much, one of my favorites from her.

  • this is my favorite song from the emancipation album.

  • This is better than the Grammys performance.

  • She looks amazing and of course she sounds phenomenal <3.

  • LMFAO at the end no one clapped, everybody was completely stupefied & dazed (myself included). By the end, my jaw had dropped up to my feet

  • Comment removed

  • guys she got two airways in her vocal chords. 1 for normal voice speaking another for whistling.J.Kidding

  • @MsBrowse LOL...xD

    

  • i just love how mariah carey is accidently hitting notes alot of people wish they could hit :P

  • what an awkward ending... no one clap? anyways, it's a very raw performance!! LOVE IT

  • @stewardlie They're inside a studio.

  • LOL the kid at the end 3.46  .. "WOAH! thats high"

  • @AliciaMarie5757 Beyoncé CAN'T sing? It's a joke right???

  • still... That unintended whistle mixed with her voice has a nice tone... to me anyway... Beats Miley Cyris + Justin Beiber...

  • @AliciaMarie5757 Beyonce can sing her ass off and Jay-Z is her husband and a GOOD friend of mariah and he's very talented with what he does, lovato can sing but she doesn't have great songs, rihanna have catchy and nice songs but she can't REALLY sing but she's doing her job but i agree with bieber gomez cyrus and jonas. and im happy that in your age you already know it (: mariah is truly amazing and my fave ever!

  • The whistle back noise is NOT a back UP you stupid desperate poor, brainless lambies, if it was a back up singer doing that awful thing, he should be fired right after that LMAO!!! This is Mariah trying to make the back track more realistic by pretending she is doing the note, but unfortunay for her, not only air is coming out of her throatbut an ugly uncontrolled whistle, her mic is still open, tat's why we can hear both. It would make no sense to ask a back up to do such an ugly whistle

  • @theoneandonly2503 THANK YOU!!! and lambies dont forget her backup singers are ppl like melonie daniels or maryann tatum! they are AMAZING AND VERY RESPECTED SINGERS!!! they can sing their ass off and even better than mariah herself nowadays!!!!!!!

  • @MCsVoice97 nooo dont say that LOL although the back up singer theory is dumb, even though i USED to believe it :P

  • @musicguy713 hahaha ;p

  • @musicguy713 check out this vid : /watch?v=L_SM_mcAgps

    3:47

    CAUGHT!! lol

  • @MCsVoice97 she's wasn't caught! she was singing to a backing track like almost every single artist does!

  • @cersus "every single artist" ?? lol

    we probably don't like the same singers...

  • @MCsVoice97 it's a fact! Not in every single performance but yeah every single artist! I'm sure we don't. I have taste!Now go listen that Gaga trash and don't reply to me..

  • @cersus i don't listen to gaga...

    why do you have to be so aggressive ppl ??!

    human nature... sad...

  • @MCsVoice97 or whatever music you like..human nature? pshh..yeah it's human nature to try to trash artists like you did. That's, sadly, human nature..Jealousy rules the world..

  • @cersus yeah right

  • @MCsVoice97 you know it...peace!

  • @cersus you know me so well honey ...

  • @theoneandonly2503 that's exactly what's happening IMO too.

  • @theoneandonly2503 in what part

  • You people are really deluded if you think the backup is causing that whistling noise. It's obviously Mariah Carey singing along to a backing track that helps add weight to her belts. Her nodules at the time are causing an unintended whistle effect.

  • This is live do you hear the breath at 1:07?? She doesn'Tgot enaugh air

  • @AliciaMarie5757 Well, Beyonce is sometimes commercial, but you can't say that she can't sing, she's is one of the best voives of R&B.

  • @AliciaMarie5757 THERES JUST ONE MARIAH. SHE IS AN ARTIST A TRUE SINGER. THE ANOTHERS YOU MENTIONED ARE ENTERTAINERS. THEY ENTERTAIN SIMPLE PEOPLE.

  • whats that sound?

  • @HoneyChild its her whistle register it goes out of control when you dont rest your voice enough !

  • My favorite Gospel

  • @AliciaMarie5757

    Demi Lovato can sing

  • Just out of curiosity, where is this performance? Why is there no clapping? Is it edited out or something? What am I missing?

    If someone knows please reply..I'm just curious.

  • @cersus it was recorded in a studio. (not a recording studio) a studio used for taping performances. there was most likely no crowd there..just her and the band and chior there to record the performance so it can be on tv.

  • @jaypaidincash oh okay thanks! that makes sense..I was scrambling my mind to find out where it was recorded..

  • First off this performance is amazing!

    and second I wish MC would always dress similar to this..I like her with jeans a tank or top, the hair, everything..SHE IS FINE!

    She looks SO much better like this! laid back,sexy and not revealing!

  • Does anyone ever listen to the actual words she writes?? I do and it's such a truth what she says in this song

  • @DanielAvilaAGT Her songs are phenomenal. Her lyrics are pconsistently good. This song in particular is quite inspiring lyrically.

  • so supercalifragilisticespialidoc­ious , love it

  • So emotional, love it.

  • horrible

  • @kevineyk Go listen to your Miley Cyrus lmao.

  • beautiful song :)

  • Patetico...

  • There is only one and there will never be another Mariah Carey. She is just amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • 100% live i tell yeah!!!

  • what year is this video?

  • no one can sing like this....

  • she looks like a barbie, but in a good way, and better than barbie lol. it's suc a good performance of the song too!

  • Anywoohoo who did not  appreciate this song should be shot right through their FOREHEADS.. this is 200% amazing!

  • whether she lip syncs or not. who gives a fuck. she is amazing and extremely successful. and even if she did lip sync this performance, she was able to fool who ever and you need talent for that as well..

  • Is is just me or can anyone not get over how AMAZING she looks (and sounds) in this performance?

  • she is indeed singing live..but sometimes she just lets the backing track take over at some parts and she will just sing BEHIND IT with alot of AIR. witch causes a "WHISTLING NOISE". its not the backround singers, its mariah making the noise behind the track sometimes..

  • She should wear a elegant dress while singing this song, but i love you ^o^ you redefine my heart :">

  • is it me or she is quite simply the best?100% live!

  • WOW, amazing.. number 1.. =)

  • how can anyone claim this isn't live? she noticeable messes up in several points. it was not vocally perfect.

  • wow i love it

  • 100 %, thx fuck yourself fuckface, stop trying to manipulate people with your bullshit. its live and you can hear how she strains her voice and thats it, im not lamb, just love to listen some of her songs and you are just such a retard. i have head phones, ears and unlike you healthy ears. She is one of best singers in the world and U JEALOUS

  • @MrBarBarozz LOL.

  • @driftingdrought bullshit YES 100 % LIVE, there are few live performances of this song and all of them are live. i can hear how she strains her voice especially in that high 3:30-37 2:48/2:57/3:24 she overuse her voice because of that you hear a little whistle in the beltings parts sometimes. you are just jealous, thats a fact. i have head phones and hear it cristal clear 100 % live performance of a LEGEND.

  • - THIS IS REAL SOUL -

  • @MrBarBarozz She lips some of the parts and sings some of the others. It's NOT all live, you dumb fuck. You are one of her brainwashed little lambs, that much is clear. Go kick rocks.

  • Comment removed

  • anyone wonder what that annoying screaching noise is??......thats the sound mariah makes when shes miming.....notice you never hear it when she sings LIVE.

  • @JamieCleaton1 one HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE! im a big fan, but when you hear that sound, it means shes SINGING WITH AIR behind the track vocals..then when she goes back to live the noise is GONE. i think shes just preserving her voice at times..

  • @jaypaidincash really?.. Singing with air? No way!! I thought she was singing with WOOD!.. It's those vocal nodules, occasionally, they make a whistle noise when she's belting ;P

  • @19arnoldsamau93 LOL you know what i meant! pretending to sing while FORCING AIR THROUGH HER VOCAL CHORDS..and no...they make that noise when shes lipping behind a track..when she belts LIVE the noise IS NEVER HEARD.

  • @jaypaidincash Actually if you watch her i stay in love performance from the x-factor, you can hear the whistile, and several others. It is the nodules, doctors have said that her voice splits due to the nodules. This is 100% live its really is obvious!

  • @musicguy713 im a bigggg mariah fan...however I DONT TAKE HER SIDE ON EVERYTHING...the doctors NEVER SAID her voice splits...they said THATS THE REASON SHE CAN SING HIGH NOTES...and 100 percent live? PLEASE! every time mariah makes that whistle noise behind her vocals, it means shes pretending to sing while forcing air out to make it look real. the same thing happened on x factor, because she used some pre recorded vocals, and sung some of it live...I LOVE HER but i wont dumb myself down..

  • @jaypaidincash Actually you wouldn't be dumbing yourself down because "musicguy713" is right the nodules cause excess air to be released from the vocal cords JUST LOOK IT UP, so when Mariah BELTS the pressure of that EXCESS AIR causes that noise, so when you hear that noise is actually when you can TELL she's singing LIVE

  • @tertra114 boy please..how come you dont hear it when she says "keep your head uppp"?????? exactly...but its okay..we all believe certain things i guess

  • @jaypaidincash lol well ok keep on believeing she's pushing air out her mouth for the heck of it, and since when does pushing air out your mouth make a whistle noise, unless you've actually got your lipps pressed together, which she clearly does not.....but it's ok...we all believe certain things i guess

  • @tertra114 LOL we could go back and forth and wont solve a thing! were both fans tho so i guess it counts for somthin in the end? o.o

  • @tertra114: Sorry, not correct. She's "belting" live multiple times in the song without the high pitched sound. It only occurs when she's miming because, like you said, there's air being forced through the vocal cords. That's how you mime; in order for it to look real you have to breathe and that makes noise. Have you never lip-synched to a song before? Gritty and raspy = live. Computer smoothed with breath-squeal = mimed.

  • @Drakensoul I hope you're not suggesting that she 'miming' this performance....Cause she clearly isn't!.........

  • @jaypaidincash You're right :)

  • @jaypaidincash THANK YOU!!! I felt so alone with this opinion... wich is cleary the truth btw

  • @musicguy713 also PROOF THAT SHE SOMETIMES MIMES BEHIND THE TRACK THEN GOES BACK TO SINGING LIVE ---when she starts belting live you NEVER EVER hear the whistling noise...point blank..

  • @musicguy713 Thank you atleast SOMEONE knows whats going on, i try to tell people too, when you have vocal nodules more air then usual escapes the vocal cords, so when Mariah BELTS thats even more air passing through her cords and with the pressure of belting forcing that air out, you hear slight whistles, but people try to say she's lipping BUT still making the whistle, WHAT KIND OF SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? lol

  • @tertra114 I know right, there are several other performances where this happens and there all live. I mean if she was breathing then it wouldnt make a whistle that never happens, you would hear a harsh breathing against the microphone, i have read where someone has said that a doctor told her that her voice splits, and its like dealing with two voices. Its just the facts lol

  • @musicguy713 you again!! LOL no it's like 80% live!! and ythe whistle scrretchy sound happens when she lipps!!! because she's pushing air in the mic pretending to sing and because of the nature of her voice, that sound comes out! it's like when she laughs for exemple...

    and sorry, no offense but u've got bad ears dude!! listen: "please dont you let the world the world the world" (lipped=>screetchy sound) "break me tonight tonight..." (live=>no whistle anymore)

  • @musicguy713 listen CAREFULLY you'll hear a CLEAR difference in the quality of sound between the prerecorded track and her voice live! when she's live her voice sounds louder and brighter...

    we already talked together, u seem to be a nice guy but you have to be more discernative!!!! I know you love her but come on!!! that whistle wierd sound is WHEN SHE LIPPS

  • @MCsVoice97 O my God. That was 3 months ago, i figured it was lipped afterward and i do accept she lips and that everything on thet our besides MIH , Il be there and My all had a backing track. Believe me i am discernative i know way more than most mariah fans do themselves. I know there were lipped parts here but either way she has enough great live performance's done in the past 5 years to prove she's amazing. She can sing the song and she's still amazing, at least i believe so.....

  • @musicguy713 I do love her too btw!! I'm just saying...

  • @MCsVoice97 I dont think you hate her or dont like her, i just try to think things were live before i call them lipped (unless its obvious). Nothing to get too upset over, she could use a confidence booster but she's a legend proved so much had an incredible prime, still has kept her voice (although in the past few years she has been inconsistent). But hey its just life.

  • @musicguy713 yeah I agree with u on that point! she's a legend!! she used 2 have the best voice music industry has ever known n still has an amazing voice!! she has NOTHING to prove to anyone!! I was not saying "hey look at this performance its lipped, it means she can't sing anymore" nono! definitely NOT my point!! I was talking bout the sreetchy sound she does when she lips! it's not her voice that splits or backup singers who whistle behind her (LOL that backup singers theory is hillarious!!)

  • @AliciaMarie5757 WHAT you think beyonce cant sing? wow you need to listen to the WHOLE beyonce experience tour then tell me what you hink okay! but the others i do agree with you i mean justin can sing on those vids of when he was a child but lik on baby or wuteva i cant even hear his actuall voice lol

  • LEGEND! full stop. xx

  • great performance, I remember not liking it, back when it aired, I love now ;)

  • Saw this live on the Shelter from the Storm benefit. One of her most moving performances in context. Thanks for sharing such a high quality recording.

  • What The FUCK WHY DIDNT I HEAR SOME FUCKING CLAPS WIERD PEOPLE

  • Yeah I heard that Bye bye-version. It really sounds more like air escaping than any type of singing though. Could be Mary Ann, but why haven´t we heard more versions with her singing entire verses octavated above Mimi in high pitch? I´ve only heard small parts of songs when the background vocalists make flute attempts, and not like this -rearranging whole songs.

    Mariah is wise to rest from the most damaging vocals from time to time, and by doing so, she´s really improved the condition.

  • @Lamb4real hi I remember an interview with tatum I think she didn't really deny or confirm she could do the whistle register and avoided the subject but said it was really more MC's stuff

  • This is 100% live,i know if a singer was lipping because i'm singer too. All the belted and whistle notes of this video are all real live, for all who saying that this is lipped please consult to your doctor if theres a problem in your two ears.

  • fell in love with this song since i first heard on this performance...perfect gospel song!

  • It´s live at the beginning but lipsynched when the belting starts and through the end of the song, you can easily hear it from the faint "squeel" in the "background" wich is actually air pressing from her throught as she mimics the singing in a forceful way.

    She CAN do it totally live though, no question! But everyone needs their rest for Gods sake.

  • @Lamb4real actually thats mary ann who was trying to hit the note with her...u can hear mary ann doing the high notes in the bye bye performances such as american idol too

  • It´s live at the beginning but lipsynched when the belting starts and through the end of the song, you can easily hear it from the faint "squeel" in the "background" wich is actually air pressing from her throught as she mimics the singing in a forceful way.

    She CAN do it totally live though, no question! But everyone needs their rest for Gods sake.

  • what's with the whistle in the background! SO ANNOYING!

  • LIVE LIVE LIVE.. U know when she sings live because shes totally out of breath, and her face looks in severe pain.
