MARIAH IS THE BEST. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO HAS THIS OR THT RECORD. SHE IS THE BEST BY FAR. DIVA? OF COURSE. WOULDN T LUV IN ANY OTHER WAY. WE NEVER HEARD ANY SCANDAL OR PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT HER HAS A BOSS. SHE IS A REAL PERSON WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK. LOVE HER SINCE THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE END. RESPECT MARIAH
It really infuriates me when reading comments like 'i miss the old mariah' FUCK OFF people she is the same FUCKING person. She has nothing left to prove now she was and IS a great person and a fantastic vocalist!
@sentfromupabove@sentfromupabove hey why is there a need to get so mad? lol We are all Mariah fans here. There is no doubt that she is one of the best singers of our time, but I definitely don't think she is the same person now as she was in 1991. People evolve, yes, but not always for the better. (Case in point: the Loverboy video) There was a certain innocence and sincerity about Mariah in her earlier days that, in my opinion, no longer resonates in her current work and I miss that.
@b36495 it is a difficult song to sing live. I don't think it helps that she moves around so much, she needs to concentrate and focus more. I have to agree with you, it's not the best performance, some of the end notes trail off pitch. She needs to finish them properly. Mariah was at her best around 1992 - 1996.
I will love her endlessly. What I miss the most about this Mariah is just the confidence. The voice was so spectacular, and she was so assured that whatever and wherever she went with the song, that the voice would go too. There will never be anyone to compare in my opinion.
Its funny how back then we took talent like this for granted. Of course we all recognized that she was special, but this was when the Celine's, Whitney's were coming up amongst other innovative stuff.
When you watch this, nobody, and I mean nobody compares. Its almost like they're just flat and uninteresting.
she still can sing, she's just changed the way she uses her voice. you may think she hasn't done the good musical choices but you can't say that she can't say. just listen to one of their last VoL perfomances. then let's see if MC can't sing anymore..
mariah on her worst day sings better than beyonce and celion...what an irgnorant commentb bballvarsity...mariah is the number female artist in the world..her vocal range surpasses those two and most others...she is a musical genious singing/writing/producing/collaborating with r&b/pop/classsical/rap... those women have nothing on mariah... her whistle register and 5 ovtave range is so rare. how can you even put those two clowns in the same category as her, how naive could you be.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mariah HAD a really good voice but nowadays, Mariah's worst day is as good as Rihanna's lol. Beyoncé and Celine are AMAZING singers and u shouldn't be putting them down like that... in the 90's Mariah's voice could defo blow them away but now they're all equally good.
look at her face when she sings, effortless! i miss her voice in the 90's..i wanna hear mariah hit incredible notes again today and has to be live like how she does it before
hey hey HEY!!E-NUFF!!!!People have the right to their opinions even if they don't match yours,and they have the right to say them as well!!Even if they ARE uneducated and factually incorrect,they still have those rights (and even if ya wanted to stop em ya couldn't)Why not just enjoy the things you do and thass it...i can assure you that Madame Mimi aint sittin home sobbin into her velvet bedspread,so why should YOU get so bent outta shape!!This performance was great,overcoming her nerves11
But that's what the song is about. She's playing a ho who is envisioning love. Chill. It's not like she slept with and married the head of her record label or something who bought some of her #1's. Jeez. We love Mariah, and all her little lambs.. oh how they sacrifice... not like faggy Madonna fans who have to endure their spiritual mother being constantly raped by media - those faggerz have it so easy in this world don't ya know.
Just listen to some of the supremes early #1's and you'll see what I mean...
By the way, Mariah's voice back then was incredible!!! Never realized how great she was, and this is not even her best performance of this song. No wonder then why she calls another great voice her "god-mother"...Patti Labelle!!!!
Mariah's second album Emotion is said to have been a tribute to the Motown Sound. It's really fitting because the song she wrote, "Vision of Love" sounds like something Holland-Dozier-Holland would've written for the Supremes ("Reflections"). Just think about the xylophone being used (that Motown's band The funk B's popularized), along with the Lush
background vocals. It sent her to No 1 as did "I'll Be There" did a while after. Come to think of it, Mariah would've been perfect at old Motown.
I agree with Cali5556, she is so much better here, this is when she gained respect. I'm not sure what happened to her but its sad because I miss this Mariah. She was soooooo beautiful back then. And yeah, the gangsta posturing is what helped ruin her image.
I love this song. I hear this song everyday and I think about missing the old Mariah who had more class to her music but now she's like those modern artists who won't write music with true meanings. I listen to a lot of new artists for their beats but they don't have the real vocal talents. Only a few like Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake etc. have good vocals.
i agree! mariah went more hip-hop by working with rappers/ hip-hop artists. i still like her music but i like her old stuff sooo much more. also, i think she's starting to lose her voice...it's so sad.
This was Mariah at her peak - when it was just her, the song, and her voice. No two-sizes-too-small outfits, no gangsta posturing, no outrageous diva antics. I still buy her records yes, but more out of brand loyalty than anything, I guess. She pretty much stopped aweing me with her talent after Butterfly.
It's so hard to believe that this is the same mariah carey that is here today... she looks totally different now adays and she sounds squeaker (probably from all the alcohol...) but i still love her!
her tone is even better/more soulful when shes nervous. and her voice is exeptionally powerful here. i dont know if anyone notices the very slight distortion at 3:08 - 3:10. thats wat hapens wen she has the mic too close to her!! no wonder y she holds the mic like a mile away in all of her other performances. she is simply the best
I have to admit her voice is not what i use to be but thats because she needs rest she works ALL THE TIME Liston to her TEOM album (2005) and i dont care what anymore one says, but her voice hadent sounded that good in a long time. BECAUSE SHE HAD REST! she needs to rest again and comeback AGAIN like she always douse. U can say what you want about her but some off yall are hatting cuz she whent hip hop in 97. but 2 me butterfly was her best CD ever!dont hate her cuz you anit her
Lol i feel you. butterfly had the best mix of contemporary r&B,hip-hop, and just songs that make you feel good. my all,honey,breakdown,whenever you call,fourth of july...the songs were amazing. I'm hoping for some stuff like that on this next one!
Love Mariah she has a unique instrument, she is the ultimate star. Feel free to comment about my cover of I Stay In Love her last single. Thank U Mariah for share ur talent with the World!!!! MIMI RULES ;P
