  • Can I just say..Please know this is Luther Vandross. I've seen a few comments that confuse him with Mariah's back-up singer Trey Lorenz. Trey is talented but Luther was a well known solo artist that passed well before his time and left a lot of great music. God Bless!

  • @MakeupSkinHealth What?? this is Mariah & Trey Lorenz. He has done this duet with her since the early 90s. This is NOT Luther Vandross. TRUE legend, but it's not him ;)

  • Wow Trey sounds really great...I didn't even recognize him.

  • mariah i love u and that last note of hers blows everyone away

  • She hasn't resonated so much in years. Technique. It's all about technique. She has lost her touch. Either that or she concentrates on something else while performing.

  • @RanjitMorey She gravitated more towards hip hop and pop and that's when this technique and style changed. The voice is still there...but she doesn't control her technique as intricately. I still think she can give a great performance but this dead on pitch and control is a bit altered today. Some believe it's aging vocal chords or wear and tare. She has said that she got a bit tired of the ballads. Maybe a mix of all things.

  • @MakeupSkinHealth But why does she squeeze her chords so much today? She shreds the notes nowadays... IWKWLI performances for e.g. it's a pain to produce a simple chest note and you can see it clearly on her face. I think she developed a complex after the whitney duet. She wanted that thick mid-chest-register and she tries to do that.. Her mid-register notes are always forced nowadays... If only she'd sing in what she's comfortable with...

  • @RanjitMorey lmao. The huskiness and forced belting is due to nodules.

  • who says persons aren't interested in high notes any more?? look how the audience reacted when trey hit the note at 2:53-2:57...ooh, ooh gud.

  • @poohbita who said that? i know loads of people who are in awe of her high notes.

  • @poohbita This is Luther Vandross here. Google him or search him on You Tube. An amazing talent. Lost his life too early!!

  • The Beginning She Was A Little Tonight But Picked It Up In The Middle

  • Trey Lorenz Is Great. Did yall heaar the fans and all the love in the building?! Not surprised, i mean it is Mariah. Greatest singer of our time...wait, of ALL time.

  • @99heartbreaker99 This is the legendary Luther Vandross here. He is now deceased. May he rest in peace. Trey Lorenz is her long time back-up singer.

  • she is the best amazing most talented and well put together singer in the world SONGBIRD

  • wow ! the whole part is so damn amazing !!!!!!

  • Trey's part is flawless....they have a great relationship...I just dont know why he isnt successful...his voice is amazing.

  • shes really amazing..why there are so many ppl dnt like her,....look how shes great in every performance! she is the only one

  • I live for ms thang and always will; but this was horrible.

  • @2225530 - your opinion

  • I think i like this live performance better than the ones in the 90's. she is singing those so corny and perfect but this she has this sexy raspy voice.

  • I cried every time I watch this video.

    It's too awesome!!

  • see? she's like this when she's really singing no hands moving like shit and all just her. look at her other ill be there posted by nicoloeUSC very live. love you mariah :D

  • MARIAH CAREY THE MUSIC HERO!!! :D

  • I love you my Baby...I love you David..

  • I would like to dedicate this song to my Baby, David...Just call my name and I'll be there for you...

  • mariah has sang this in june, she sounded really good, and she belted too, it shows that mariah is still capapble of greatness! And trey lorenz has an amazing voice too!

  • @musicguy713 she sang it in Brazil last week too, and its sounded even better than this performance, check it!

  • I like this audience

  • even at her worst,mariah still sing at least decent

  • I love this performance.This is my fav performance of this song:)

  • @TYEWE Mine to!!! I also have this version on my iPod

  • Good performance!

    I love 2:10-2:20 and 2:59-3:18 the best....I love when she uses the soul in her voice!

  • Although her voice was raspy she was able to pull off a very good performance.

  • im joining a singing contest.. and im gonna sing this song.. coz i love mariah so much! wish me luck!

  • a true legend. :)

  • Good performance. I know she is still capable of this though! The few performances that she doesn't lip are as strong as this! That's why it pisses me off that she lips so much now!!!

  • the 'snip' at @3:50 was very relaxing to me even though it was just a second or two long

  • mariah is still the best

  • Her voice is solid here!! Amzing!!!

  • mariah is still the best

    !!!

  • this song is sooo difficult playing between (headvoice) and her (real) voice is so difficult and even 20 years of singing around the world she's just do it soo well !!! luv ya mariah une voix si belle :)

  • beautifull!!

  • DIVA!!!!!!!!!

  • Mariah is the highest selling female singer OF ALL TIME. Topping Elvis. Some of her fans from the 90's don't like her as much now as they did then, BUT, she has a new fan base that likes her now. So everyone's terms of better or worst or greatest or bad are different.

  • I like her in 90's but just as much today.. true fan doesn't pick and choose.. love her always...

  • I love this performance

  • Great permormance! The best performance of this song since 1993!!!

  • yea she was really peakin in 2005! its cuz she had that brake between charmbracelt and emancipation.. she needs a break now.. her vocal nodules r actin up these days.. girl can sing.. u cant lose a gift like that.. she just needs to rest.

  • when she spoke at the end she sounded she had an flu

  • cada vez enseña más y canta menos... con la voz que tenía.. ya no es ni la sombra de lo que fue... y en esta actuación todavía da mucho de sí...

  • Me too i really think that this is better than the one they did years ago!!!Her voice sound good!!!

  • BTW she didn't shake her hands dat much HEHE

  • Unbelieveable performance... She killed it lol i love u MiMi :)

  • I really really love this live and i can stop repeating

  • A true fan must consider the imperfectness of his idol. they are not perfect.For MC. we know that shes not good as she used to be but she can still make us happy with her songs.

  • i love her voice here but its cracky..

  • Amazing

  • she had fun here

  • Goosebumps always.......x

  • When it first aired i wasn't that ecstatic, but looking back at least it's not as bad as The MJ memorial one

  • umm not as bad ? this performance was top of the line ! & the MJ performance was good as well.

  • I know right?? In fact, I like this performance waaayy better than the 1 that she and Trey did years ago. To me, this is just so much more soulful!

  • MC D GREATEST!LOVE HER

  • yeah now I know what people call her... the songbird... she is great...

  • I love this version....

  • Mariah Carey is a great singer, thats an established fact that everybody knows. I think in this song, however, that Trey Lorenz needs to be given some credit because he's amazing!

  • i think it is better because she seems happy here! lol

  • The Mj memorial performance wasnt so flaless cause when you see the performance you can see her crying and when a singer is crying he or she cant sing good ans she said that shes sorry for the performance

  • This was incredibly soulful. If only she could do this now. Lazy bitch!

  • lazy bitch? God...what's into you? you think Mariah chooses to sing the way she sings now? you sing 20 years non stop and we'll see where you are than.

    BTW she still sings amazing now.

  • oh cry me a fucking river

  • this was only 2005! get a life wanker!!!

  • ignore orangecarrotcake, on every video, he leaves a hateful comment, no matter how good or bad a performance is lol. He's an idiot.

  • These are in fact the kindest words I've ever seen from orangecarrotcake. Love takes time, sure he need some time to accept this new MC! =]

  • haha, may be we should better not to concern about the comments that the others made cuz you just have to know who is your favourite. just like I have to know I love MC, then it is ok.

  • I love this perf, she is powerful !

    Think she was great here

    Nop ?

  • i miss this voice=(

  • dumb bitch

  • uhhhhh i didnt say anything why are you calling me bitch?

  • "dumb bitch" wasnt to mariah yall ! it was to someone talkin shit about her ! lol

  • you said i miss this voice as in saying its gone. so N fuck u & u are a bitch, mariah is just as good as this, if not better,

  • anyone that still thinks her voice is the same is in DENIAL!!!!!! you have no class to sit behind your computer and call someone bitch get over yourself! there are people that are saying alot worst things about her and your attacking me because i said i miss her voice! get out of here! bye bye*! have a good damn day!

  • muito gostosa e marian carey

  • with her perfomance at the memorial - she didnt hit the notes, she cant belt it out anymore ... i even wondered why she didnt try to lower the note just as how she always do when she performs hero live ...

    but ... of course, i've got no question about the divas voice ... she's got nothing to prove ... and it even gets it tougher to sing in front of MJ's body ... i mean, even if you're in the arena, i think you'll have goosebumps too ...

  • agreed, she didn't hit the notes and can't belt it out anymore. I wondered the same thing, she could've lowered the tone. in this video, on the other hand, she sings it like heaven

  • oh PLEASE! she can still belt...she always comes back with a performance and proves people wrong that say she cant belt anymore..ever heard of fly like a bird? we belong together? i wish you well???

  • oh PLEASE! you really think these shitty songs compare with her greatest hits from the past??? keep on dreaming

  • Well WBT is her most sucessful song of her career so.... I guess it does compare

  • no, it doesn't. avril lavigne is considered a successful singer, is she comparable to mariah? no she isn't because mariah is a singer, avril isn't. so you see, successful doesn't equal QUALITY.

  • Well you said "greatest" so i thought you meant greatest in terms of sales. Yes on the whole her albums are different to those of the past, but all the albums of this decade by Mariah have had some songs that are comparable to those of the past.

  • Don't forget One Sweet Day!

  • It appears that they have this great friendship. I luv when she sings this song with Trey....Perfect for the many years they have been as friends together.......This was an swesome performance even though years have passed since the early 90's when they first sang this together.

  • "you and i must make a pie" Sorry i had to lmao!

    Great preformance:)

  • your words really made me laugh :)

  • the show remind me of her in 1992..mtv unplugged

  • I love when she laughs and then reaches the low note that performs Trey Lorenz, in 04:27 minutes, is a rather low note for a woman, but she is from another planet.

  • Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

    Apresentação !

  • she sang this much better than she did today. But still good.

  • ".sorry that i wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right,but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me." -Mariah carey's Twitter

  • thanks, that explains it. she looked choked up... and who wouldn't be :[

  • jermaine and usher also were choked up, overwhelmed by emotion, they even got tears in their eyes, tried their best to not cry..still they gave great performances...Mariah was very ordinary on MJ memorial...she could do so much better than that like we all know...I blame the shitty songs she sings nowadays, it's waisting away her potential as the great singer she is. she prolly didn't rehearse for MJ memorial performance

  • it was really a dissapointment from mc. i mean... its understandable that she was sad, but that was really not a good performance. and trey...he knew mariah was not okay, he shouldn't had outdone her!

  • hehe I only disagree that Trey shouldn't have outdone her, I think it was Trey who saved the song :) he was as good as usual :) and yes..maybe Mariah didn't practice the song before, thinking she's too good for that perhaps ? :)

  • oh really??? poor mariah then! couldn't rehearse STILL she managed to find time to do her HAIR her MAKE UP and find a SEXY DRESS to go to a MEMORIAL...yeah right..

  • lol says who? Mariahis1? look, I don't expect you to understand it, you're biased, you're a fan. she could sing like a cat being strangled but still you'd think she's singing like a bird. I don't hate Mariah Carey, just because I stated she sang awfully on MJ memorial doesn't mean I hate her, can't you see that? I stated a fact, which she ACKNOWLEDGED on her twitter, so don't waste your breath arguing against it.

  • ok... enough, just stop. that MJ memorial performance is bad, how about THIS ONE?

    focus on what is playing right now...

  • doh

  • damn..learn how to spell, then we can discuss.

  • Lol, you can't find anything else to say so you try to make it about spelling. Shut the fuck up you low class bitchy cunt.

  • Lol sounds like you are the one who can't find anything else to say other than calling people names! aod2k9 grow up, dude!!! everyone's entitled to their opinion, just because you disagree you want them to "shut the fuck up you low class bitchy cunt"???? HAHAHA and you're 12 years old right? oh wait..your profile says you're 26! duuude! this is ludicrous!

  • @erikazilla She was nearly crying during the MJ memorial, she spoke about this on a talk show. She knows she didn't do a great job, she was too emotional.

    So why are you using that as a backing point?

  • haha not trying to put anyone down dear ! just stating the fact that you've already said, "not so good performance" in my book means bad performance. what you just said is the same thing I stated but you only used an euphemism whereas I was straight to the point. This video on the other hand is awesome, she always touches me deeply when she sings this song, but she was terrible on MJ Memorial. 'nuff said

  • to aod2k9: you really are stupid, aren't you? You're such a cunt. Learn how to spell, bitch.

  • @erikazilla they were and they too didnt do the best they could have....but the main difference is that mariah was asked to sing at the memoiral the day of wen they found out she was in LA...she wasnt originally schedualed...she didnt have rehursal, she didnt know she was going to be first and ontop of that she didnt know the coffine with MJ was going to be right infront of the stage...all that with the emotions gives anyone constitution to choke up...and she only messed up in the begining

  • @1dreamlover1 People are just too cruel to understand, and Mimi is a girl and us girls tend to let our emotions get the best of us, men have ways to control they're emotions,..

  • Agree with you 100%. But she was choked up today..

  • Wow this performance is exactly like the 1992 version! PERFECT...You can tell she was so rested and prepared!

    See guys? if she puts herself it, she can really put out an awesome performance.

  • i dont thing so..

    she turn down the key....

  • i loooooooooove her more than words can say

    she is the best female singer

  • The last "I'll be there" 4:31-4:38 is SO beautiful

  • That low note at 4:26 is awesome lol

  • Damn, she did GREAT see? when she wants to project her voice, she CAN but her latest songs tend to be SOFTER than the older more belt-requiring songs, but she can still do it if necessary 5/5!
