Yeah, that whistle is DEFINITELY pre-recorded. Look at 3:39 where she tries to keep lip-synching it but it's not there. Aside from that, this sounded, at best, like a karaoke version of this song. I love me some Mariah, but she should know better than this.
not her best performance that's for sure. but not every performance have to be perfect. and no she isn't very a dance person. don't hate 'cause one performance that didn't go great.
@NALDO9111, what dancing is she doing? LOL, she is not doing anything strenuous so as not to sound "good". It's not anyone hating, it's just the truth.
her song are really difficult. people don't understand that!!! this song is not a simple ballad like those sung by celine,whitney or other famous singers. In the original she also does the backup part and here she can't do it. that's why the song sounds strange in part.
@TheTALY07 she didnt lose her voice, she has a whistle register in her vocal cords or throat and she was using it, when u use it and ur singing it sound like a whistle.lots of people have it like christina Aguilera has it but the register helps her belch l a low voice tone.so yeah
wow she really needs to just hide in a corner.. stick to the stuff she was doing before.. she's trynna keep up with the times so much that it's making her look & sound ridiculous.
It kills me how her easier song obsessed sounded like shit to Mimi's standards but it's a wrap one of the hardest to sing on the album was great and u can totally tell nothing was lipped. MC is probably like damn put me down you throwin me off dammit. Lol but I still love her even on a bad day cant kill em all as she said she's an imperfect angel
she is NOT fat! she's best, and besides who else can pull off such a great high pitch note like she does at the end of the song?!? Mariah Carey is AWESOME!!!
people seem to forget that she has been in the biz for 20 years. She proved herself in the 90's, that she can definately SANG!!!. So if the girl wants to sit back and half ass it to collect that money. i say, GET IT GIRL!
see thats the problem with you some fans or non fans. when she's singin live you're bringing her down. and when she's not singin it live still bringing her down more. better don't watch her. its great that she's singing back for us. just wait. she might remember how she used to sing back then.
The reason she was out of tune is because the earplug she had wasnt in right so she couldn't hear herself sing over the background music and cheering, and she fixed it at 1:35. Want more proof? She was right back in tune after that. And she knew she was singing off key before but she still smiled and kept singing. Thats a performer.
i love you so much mariah, you are my hero, i love you, and YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST, Everday I lsten to you, You have inspired me so much, and IDC wat anybody says U ARE MY HERO and the best singer in the whole world... i am so proud of you... Love Charles Ryan Thornton
i luv her performance here. she has stage presence for the first time. I love the MOAIA era 'coz she had so many enegrgetic performances un like E=MC2 era.
her songs lately are modelled after we belong together ! These songs dont require her to belt out like without you, but rather force her to raise one octave naturally ! so she wont have to be creative anymore but just follow the notes
@mishail82 actually if u listen closely with the headphones on u can hear a very light whistle at this exact moment. mariah always hits the whistle register when singing live, it's the easiest part for her to sing
@natarious wow you're deaf. This was an amazing performance of Obsessed. it sounds like the record (except there's no auto-tune). Just stop hating and be happy that you were able to see one of the Greats Perform.
first of all its my opinion, second even if she did sound like the studio version (which she doesnt) who cares, its not a difficult song to sing, its basic nd safe which is all mariah can do any more. she used to be one of the greats, she used to be amazing live, but shes lost it..
it's only because she is a little out of shape vocally! she has her "Angel's Advocate Tour" coming up getting kicked off on New Years Eve and i'm pretty sure she'll get her voice back in shape! I know she does not want disappointed fans! And she still is a "great" F.Y.I.!! =)
the thing that's interesting is that she doesn't have an earpiece in. Normally when artists don't have one, they feel more pressure to make sure they fill the room with sound sometimes that can cause vocal problems because she's clearly uncomfortable. I don't think she has the comfort of hearing herself while performing.
exactly, how could one hear themselves when you have 12 speakers at full blast behind you. try singing at a concert, u come out horse from screaming. why that is she is a studio artist.
Thanks a lott, that's what I am famous for; bringing joy into other peoples life..^^ But sorry, I am still convinced that the high notes are prerecorded.
The high notes are so prerecorded...You can see, cause she wanna keep on the lipsync. even though there's no voice in 3:39 .. mariah always has been bad at lipsync.-singing. That's kinda funny. But i love her
that's an effect called echo everytime mariah used it in her song cuz most of her songs need 3 or 4 times her voice if u listen correctly there are on mariah's album her voice everywhere in the chorus in the effect that's why we call this pre live but it's still live
That's not what I am talking about. I am saying that she opens her mouth without anything coming out, NO SOUND not even from the tape. pretending as if she would be singing. And that is not what u call echo. If you use echo u first sing and then shut your mouth while you can hear an echo afterwards. Take a look between the words "obsessed" an Oh-oh-oh" in 3:39 and you'll know what I mean. And besides that, I've never doubted that the rest of the song is live
listen !! the high notes was real man !!! because how the hell is she gonna do this? she did the high notes but the last high note didnt go out !! sometimes this pass !!!
@GimmeSouL umm actuallyy i waas there during rehearsal and mariah made a comment about people accusing her whistle note to be fake sooo gues what she did she whisled acceppla for like 10 seconds back to baack...that was 100 live during rehearsal... so maybe you shouldnt put rumors that mariahs fake...
I looove the whistles at the end!
I'm pretty sure they're live..Mariah finds doing the whistles easier than anything

with the difficulty that she have at 3:22, I think the whistle in the end is pre-registered
