  • This is her forte. She was amazing when it came to singing in a R&B style....not sure why she went hip-hop (reach out to youth market?); but I really hope she goes back to this style because it's what made her (Vision of Love, I Don't Wanna Cry, Dreamlover, Hero even is R&B adult contemporary)

  • if this was her voice during the vh1 divas live 1998 , other divas would have been blown away.

  • if this was her voice during the 1998 divas live. other divas would have been blown away.

  • 5 people accidentally pressed the dislike button. the one you were going for was to the left..

  • I still like the new mariah but the reason she was famous is for her slow ballad songs w/ the gospel feel to it and her AH-mazing voice! idk y shes so different from now thtas the reason ppl still liker her is because her old songs and what she used to be

  • Oh yeah MC at 3:08...it's Alright!!! You know it's alright don't you ever fear Love is by your side!!!

  • no one even dare to duet with her during 1993...not even whitney or patti

  • @toysgowild guess she sold out and lost her way. she seemed so real back in the day.

  • @toysgowild LOL! You are right!

  • Mariah is the proof that miracles exist : ) she is an angel^, almost perfect. She has it all and that disturbs many jealous people. But however, she is number 1.

    This song is my favourite, I love her music and the way she expresses emotions.

    

  • She was AMAZING here, so precise, relaxed and genuine! :)

  • Mariah is so pretty here. And her voice is GOD.

  • Te amamos mariah ! Come to Jesus !!

  • great singer and great backing singers

    what more could you asks for at a concert

    none of that lip singing ,back track autotune shit

  • @aylix89 I so agree. this was the time when singers actually took the time to learn scales.  nowadays they rely solely on autotunes. smh.

  • no words....she is so blessed..my god wish she ll find herself again..she deserves it..

  • mariah is not just a diva....she's a music goddess!!

  • that note at 3:22 is crazy

  • @manly427 good catch i didnt notice that. i really like mariah, but this preformance she just nails it.

  • I like this

  • So great. This live performance sounds even better than her original video clip. Perfect:)

  • This is Mariah's greatest vocal performance ever! Her voice was untouchable at this time.

  • continued..... Another thing I'm not emo, nothing about me is emo, I'm a very happy girl, who listens to a lot of different genres and I don't lable myself at all. You don't like lady gaga which is fine but why should explain to you on why I like her? Besides I'm a bigger Mariah fan anyway, so there you go and what 'emo' likes Mariah Carey?

  • @kandykay1992 Alright princess, no need to shit yourself about it

  • @zen, you know what, whatever. I tired of people pulling my bra strap, you don't think lady gaga is a pioneer of electro pop and that is most likely to be true but as i said i'm only stating my opinion. I like the girl shoot me, the reason I snapped at you because whenever i say something on the internet people are quick to be jerks, like you did when you called me an emo twat...

  • effortless G5 and G#5

  • sweeeeeet destiny!!!!!!!!

  • super best diva

  • the best diva

  • @sergyngs indeed :)

  • Well then you should try Mariah singing Fly Like A Bird in the Grammy's. Also, try to listen Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You during her tour. =)

  • mariah was kinda good life, but you should listen to the mtv unplugged things or if it's over grammy stuff, her concertdvd's are always bit dubbed:d just like this video

  • BE VIGILANT AND COURIOUS CAUSE this angel is singing now ,anytime you need a friend mariah Carey

  • i really wish i could've seen her in her prime

    SINGING GODDESS

  • WTH?? For a moment there I thought I was watching PEBBLES and any minute Baby Face was gonna come spinning on his high chair too.

  • Amazing! =O

  • mariah started the modern pop sound we hear this time...the ad live stuffs while singing

  • I agree. And I think it was her collaboration with Bone Thuggs

    that helped shape her revised sound.

  • gaga is a pop god and mariah is queen of rnb.mariah is a better vocalist than anyone ever.

  • @carnage4u2008 I'm sorry, but who in the industry has ever referred to Baby GaGa as "Queen of Anything" let alone "Queen of Pop"??? I believe that title has gone to Whitney Houston and Madonna. And "Queen of R&B" has gone to Mary J. Blige and Mariah. And Mariah is overrated, even though this performance is amazing...there are others who are more talented.

  • @Neno8403This is the Mariah I remember, 4:57 what!! she blowed these songs away yet still Have to admit Whitney houston's voice is just pre-eminent, almost out of this world

  • @Neno8403 the only person i can think of who might be better than mariah carey is whitney houson. whitney has a stronger and more soulful voice. but as an overall package(singing voice, singing technique, song writing, producting, etc...), mariah is better.

  • @davidchubo That's because Whitney is 100% black, they are born to have that type of voice. But I don't like it, I prefer Mariah's voice, especially her whispery vocals now. It's unique and no other female singers can copy it.

  • @BBQJester u mean mariah's VELVETY voice.. yeah so cool and sexy... another velvety voice singers are Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, d carpenters..

  • @BBQJester No they're not born to have that type of voice. It's the culture, not genetic: whitney grew up singing in a church and grew up listening to R&B and learned to sing that way. Black people aren't born with anything different. That's just an ignorant statement. You probably didn't mean anything by it, but still...

  • @RelicHunter321 I think that person was referring to Whitney's strong, rich mid-chest belt. That is something one is born with and develops with vocal training. But no, that is not true -- It is most definitely not an ethnic thing, anyone can have a strong belt. Celine has it.

  • @BBQJester I never heard anyone praise her newer whispery voice before but I have to agree. so with Mariah, it's a win-win (yesterday or today). SHe is so freaking fine! It's like I cannot take my eyes or ears off of her! It's good to be Nick Cannon!

  • I remember this Thanksgiving Special-'93 on NBC. My two favorite songs by her. I hope the baby helps her to refocus and live a simple, fulfilling. Then, she can hit the studio and blow us away. She needs voice rest (at least 2 years)

  • @etanielyehuda haha I agree, she deserves to be happy, she's a trooper. 20 yr non stop is incredible, and I know she's not picking trash, she's a celeb, but those ppl are always under spotlight, criticism, it's not easy.

  • amazing!

  • @ kash0812

    I don't think T-Pain and Lil Wayne should even be mentioned in the same sentence as LADY GAGA. That girl is talented and a pioneer of electro pop. She has a few 'fabricated' tracks but them has a few meaningful ones. Not to mention the chick can blow and play piano.

  • Lady Gaga a "pioneer of electro pop"? Thats almost funny.

    Do you even know what you are saying?

  • Yes I do know what I'm what saying. My opinion.

  • How is Gaga a 'pioneer'? I'd love to know what makes you say that.

    Lady Gaga is just a massive talent stealing black hole. She can play the piano and sing, and wears a bra on her head and all the poncy arty farty fuckers think its something special. Its just pretentious bullshit.

    The only 'pioneers' that have any relation to Gaga are the 80's and 90's artist that she steals all her ideas from.

    Look up the word pioneer. I don't think it means what you think it means.

  • @Zensonar like i said it was my opinion, stop writing fucking novels over opinions of other people. I'm fed up with the blasted internet and people losing sleep over what i feel and what i like and don't like, people just leave me the hell alone!

  • @kandykay1992 Yeah cry me a river, you emo twat. It was an honest question, it took me a few seconds to write. Don't start whining just because you got a bit of criticism. Grow up.

  • I don't think she's fake, maybe more glamourized but not fake. I think she's real in the sense she has a real persona. People need to realize that maybe she's happier the way she is now and stop being judgemental.

  • This is my all time fav from mariah...and im 24/m, we all have a soft side...hah

  • This is the Mariah I love.. She is to fake now

  • @ BMWLOVE

    Fame goes to the head.

  • nowadays music in general is fake.. they dont make em like this no more.. we can thank t-pain, lil wayne, and lady gaga 4 that...they've ruined music 4ever, and the younger generation likes it, its sad...

  • yes lady gaga sucks dont listen to that other person.

  • @kash0812 i don't think gaga ruined music...

  • @kash0812 its not the artist, but the listeners. ppl who pay for stupid music and promote it are at fault.

  • @JPhillippeMusic --yeah!!.... you're a bad listener

  • i said stupid music, and I only mentioned that lady gaga didn't ruin music...not that I purchase her music. Learn to read before you write..

  • Hmm... I'm sorry. =(). I realize now -- I thought that you were talking about Mariah Carey's music.

  • lol its ok, Hell no, I would never talk bad about MC's music. She's my idol, my all, my life...I'm like the biggest lamb ever...I love her and her music and voice too death lol

  • she had a beautiful voice... at that time she was one of the 3 women (along with Whitney & Celine) with the biggest voices IMO.... too bad that 2 out of those women can't even sing their old songs anymore but they just didn't take care of their gift....

  • Who are those 2 women that can't even sing their old songs anymore?

  • IMO it's Mariah & Whitney... as much as I don't really like Celine Dion, I have to admit that she can still sing her old songs WAY BETTER than those 2....

  • I think the reason Mariah Carey can't sing her old songs anymore because those really high notes (whistles note) probably killed her voice... When you wrote "they just didn't take care of their gift...." I knew what you meant... for mariah but not sure whitney..

  • Mariah can still sing her old songs, She Just doesn't choose too, I mean she has 20 years in the biz and trust me, u dont see people like Britney and Christina as well as Celine singing their old hits constantly, Mariah has a large catalogue of songs to be singing lesser known hits such as ATYNAF or any other song she recorded 20 years ago.

  • @Danesty

    Celine's songs aren't as difficult to sing as Whitney and Mariah's, to be fair. Celine is a hell of a vocalist still, but her voice is thin, and like I said, her songs aren't that hard.

  • @crazy2hazy I disagree. Its All Coming Back To Me, To Love You More, are some of the most difficult songs to sings out there. The only thing she isn't doing that they do is runs and trills and melismas all over the place. She knows she's not as much of an expert there and doesn't do it as often. But in terms of pure singing, I don't know how you get that her songs are easier.

  • There's plenty of things that make Mariah's songs harder, the most obvious are the melodies and the harmonies that Celine does not have the range for. Mariah usually sings about an octave lower in the background. She delivers meaningful phrases, which is important in R&B and gospel. Mariah's range is MUCH wider in both directions. Celine's melismas, but they often lack a central note and don't fit rhythmically w/ the song. Mariah's always fit, b/c she makes her music to fit her voice.

  • @Rosannasfriend

    Mariah's range is just much larger than Celine's, so obviously Mariah's songs are going to be harder than hers, with or w/o melisma

  • @crazy2hazy I don't think think most of Mariah's songs would be hard for Celine to sing minus melisma and runs. Especially the songs that don't include the whistle note. That said, I was talking about Whitney and Mariah, not just Mariah compared to Celine.

  • @Rosannasfriend

    Ok, but Celine's songs are not as hard as Mariah's or Whitney's. Even without whistle, Mariah's range is too wide for her songs to be sung by Celine, and Whitney's songs require the vocals to build up to what some call a "vocal moment", like gospel singers do. Celine's range is wide, her songs are hard, and she can do what both the other two can do, just not to the same extent.

  • @crazy2hazy sigh, I don't know. I won't argue with you, lol. Maybe you're right, who knows? :)

  • @crazy2hazy you are stupid

  • but anyway i miss the old mariah she really was the best singer an she was even hotter than now.

  • aff ... shut up! Her voice is it does what you want!!!!!

  • Oh! and almost forget! ;)

    Celine Dion has always been and always will be a crap!

    Women boring!!

  • Oh sorry i love mariah, i just say that if mariah start taking care of her voice maybe she can sing as she used to.

  • I know it is! until you've seen her performance of Make It Happen on?

    was horrible does not reach the feet of old once! and I doubt she can sing Anytime you need a friend, open arms and without you again as well as before! but I still love it too!

  • is that you're right!

  • well you`re right the voice changes but tell me, why celine is 41 an she still sound great? it is just take care of voice, and it is something mariah have never done.

  • So perfect!!

  • Eu te amoooo Mariaaah Careeeey!!!!

    você é demaaiis!!!

  • the memories of mariah's voice and songs will stay. so nostalgic.

  • @Creevie Come on that woman is not dead. She is still great!

  • DAMN! she is sooo HOT right here!

  • i luv the old mariah. She's hotter.

  • Id love to hear her now singing It Aint like that by Alice in Chains !! vocal grand master. ;P

  • i like the 1993 versions than the 1996 ones.

  • Summer ´94-that was music! She lost herself in money,so she´s got that famous tramp look now days ! This was Mariah once , much elegant ´diva´ as you all call her... She`ll never be the same again

  • she's the same person !! new clothes new look and older doesnt change the person !! she's the same !!! O come on !! she's the only artist who spend so much money in clothes?? Come on GEt a grip man !!!

  • she is so different... Mariah Carey 1990-1997 was incredable and the ONLY ONE....SPECIAL SHE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER, and now I don't even want to listen to her music....hate it!

  • 100% agreed

  • i think that mariah is still amazing... pop and r&b music has changed and i think that one of the reasons that talented vocalist like mariah and others throughout the 90's and early 21st century seemingly lose thier persona is because theyre trying to keep up and stay relavent in a society that is being distracted by image. talent has to some extent taken a back seat, in any event mariah added to a standard of vocal power that in chart music history that can only be matched by a few, i love her!

  • she's superb

  • i love mariah. always have. but in this video and back in the 90's she had a totally different demeanor. her character was genuine and sweet. now she comes off as bitchy and not very humble, not to mention she seems so uncomfortable on stage when singing now. she tries so hard to belt it out, whereas before it was seemingly effortless, like in this video. by far one of her best performances. she is getting older too, but i would love it if she got her old sweet personality back. anyone agree?

  • Comment removed

  • I don't though if you had asked the same question back when she got dumped by her label and acting like a loon, I'd agree with you. Nowadays, she seems a lot nicer and a bit more humble though not as you described her here.

  • totally agree!! i luv mariah and even if her voice is not the same she didn't have to change her demeanor from classy to ghetto! its not her music that she cares about it's her looks, sick and tired of her low cut short dresses. she had a low cut v-neck dress at michael jackson's memorial i was like dam girl it a freakin memorial! her video's are trashy lol. i still luv mariah and think she can sing better then most artist but she is def not the mariah we fell in love with!

  • Michael would have been hapy with whatever mariah whore, she wore a long black dress and a v neck dress, but it wasn;'t showing her boobs, you we'e just concentrating on them

  • i know michael wouldn't care the point is she concentrates on herself to much and the cut was very low for a memorial dude. would have been perfect for the grammys. it's hard not to concentrate on her boobs when it flashes at ya lol. it's all about mariah...when trey lorenz came out she didn't have to say the part "trey lorenz" lol i was like dude keep it simple!

  • shes still genuien and sweet, don't be foled by the media, she just makes fun of the whole diva thing,if you knew here one on one, you'd rethink what you just said.

  • did you know fame is one the things that most drastically chemically changes the brain?

    btw, her fun, flirty persona now can be hinted at emotions music vid3eo when she was given more artistic discretion over her work

    she was a 21 yo girl back then..just wantuing to enjoy music after 1997 it kinda all exploded and she went overboard...but she has to be a little sexy now because her voice alone cant draw the crowds it once did

    i agree i wish she got her sweetness back, but fame changes people.

  • She never had changed her personality. Mariah always was and still is a humble and down to earth person. She's kinda diva, but not at somebody else's expense.

    What she changed is the way she dresses, but don't mix that up with changing her personality. The girl next door style never was her prefered style. She was forced into it by her ex husband.

  • the reason why mariah change so much...is becuase before she was very christian and now..her god is marilyn monroe... and im not a religiosus person this is not the reason why im saying this..

  • tu sais koi tu connai rien toi pour die comme ca sure une superbe chanteuse.

  • The Voice!!! The legend! The Best!

  • This is the Mariah I know and love. Her voice is a force of nature. Its performances like this that make me wonder why she feels she has to use the whistle register in every song, because she rocked "anytime you need a friend" with just tone and lung power....love it...

  • ignorant people!

    Mariah is the best!

    the best

    the best

  • WHAT THE??? For a moment there I forgot my name while watching her sing.

  • Has anyone noticed she started singing this SITTING DOWN?! There's a reason most people stand up to sing, she's got amazing talent for sure.

  • i really miss this kind of mariah! shes so simple and beautiful here!
