  • One of my favorite song of MAria C.

  • i love her so much

  • i love this song!

  • 2:54 till 3:07

  • brilliant.

  • can someone here tell me who is Mariah backing vocal @1:51 ? I often seen him beside trey

  • Whitney Houston , Mariah Carey , Celine Dion, Charice Pempengco , Patti Labelle ,Barbara Streisand are the best vocalist when it comes to live performances just PERFECT sorry but Cristina Aguilera she's not included ,well she has a great voice but she's not a pitch-perfect and flawless singer..just saying

  • @archidexterous20 Charice is not a good "vocalist". She does this thing where she depresses to create a "deeper" sound.

  • @rekupp hmmmm..really ? i think you're just a hater..sorry but that's my opinion please respect that..

  • @archidexterous20 Being a good "vocalist" is not an opinion, technique is not subjective. So no, you are erroneous.

  • @rekupp Ah so I'm not the only one who notices this! It drives me nuts.

  • @rekupp yup. she pushed her larynx for that Christina Aguilera kinda sound.

  • Mariah has the sexiest voice ahahaha that's all

  • MCi love you very much , MC te quierooooooo¡¡¡¡ Forever and Ever The Best¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • she is the best

  • rihanna who?

  • @alastair672 rihanna's name should not even be mentioned on any video of mariah's.

  • i love her actions at 2:49 - 2:50

  • my tears fell!!!!

  • the backup singer's face @ 1:49 epitomizes how I feel when she sings

  • i reaally love this Mariah performing... I miss this kind of Mariah

  • Whitney Houston never had a range as vast as Mariah's, she just had a loud chest voice.

  • is it really normal that you can change your voice from that high note to a way lower..

  • mariah sounded like an angel here.. LOVE IT!!!!

  • if you guys really love MARIAH if you we're her true fans you must learn to appreciate what MARIAH can do know....cause all people grow old and every year older another changes will come....even though MARIAH can no longer sing LIVE but with the memory of past and with all her inspirational songs...she will be in our hearts forever!

  • @janoth12345 I totally agree... Mariah has given us so much she has damaged her vocals because of it. I can only appreciate and Love her for all she's done and keeps on doing.

  • @boltstrike8 yeah...! we are both big fan of MARIAh...and all we can do...is to PRAY that MARIAh!!!!!! will stay LONGER in the music industry...

  • Dude beside her at 1:46 .His face is like YESSS girl sing that shyt!

  • @EBWASH89 with that lace front jheri curl wig on

  • @abx9 lol Yeah

  • That's hilarious, Sablicious!

  • Her Belting Ability Is Weaker Than Before But I CAn Honestly Say Her Whistle Register Is A Lot Powerful And Better Nowwa Days

  • try to watch Jonalyn Viray - LOVE TAKES TIME

  • Nobody can compare to Mariah in these days. Not even Whitney.

  • the only one MARIAH CAREY.

  • Back BEFORE she solved E=mc2^ and went crazy!

  • i wish she still sang songs this good.....too bad her music and voice suck now.

  • @bunnierabbits give her new christmas album a chance, her voice sounds great and theres even a few good original songs on there. Its her best since Emancipation of Mimi

  • Christina is in a league of her own since she's in her prime compared to both Whitney and Mariah today. Alot of ppl complain about Christina's style but you forget all of that comes from James Brown/Etta James, the Greats!

    You probably wouldn't find yourself knockin' down Legends such as these for the same style and approach...??

  • @boltstrike8 hahaha! christina's voice has no vibrato,no resonance no nothing !!

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow No offense, but it seems you don't know the meaning of vibrato/resonance and for that matter anything pertaining to "Vocals/Singing". It's all good to prefer one over the other but don't hate in complete ignorance.

    I LOVE Mariah then and now! But today we must face the truth of the matter...XTina is today's Reigning Queen of Live performance. Period!

  • @boltstrike8 well I'm sorry to sound rude but Christina is perhaps not even in the top 10 best singers out right now.People like Charice and that Lea Michele chick can belt without ripping their chords unlike CA.

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow You're not being rude at all..?? It's your opinion and I respect it, but I don't have to agree with it. ;) It's a matter of preference but then again did anyone question Legends of the past such as Etta James or even James Brown for (as you put it), "screaming" their way through a song..?? I think not... Ppl need to realize that this is her "Style", just like it was for these other Gifted Artists of the past.

  • @boltstrike8 you don't understand !!! Aguilera's voice just doesn't have enough resonance !!

    check her C#5s and then check Whitney/mariah's/aretha's !!!! It's not preference !! It's factual that she's not an excellent vocalist.Good,yes.Great,not.

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow Not enough resonance..??? You could've fooled me! Lol If you can't be at awe when she opens her mouth it's quite beyond me. I'm sorry you can't enjoy it with the rest of us....

  • loved this song of mariah...... thx sis for sharing :))

  • loved mariah when she first came out. thx sis for sharing....:))

  • tina, dikit ko sa noo mo! lol....:D:D:D

  • God Bless mariah, its all i can say i love her soooooooo much

  • This is amazing!!! After 20 years nonstop still on top...

  • MC I love your voice and I want to tell you " how beautiful you are"

  • Its my most favourite live performance of her. At that point her voice was just amazing. Today it just sucks..

  • Beautiful.

  • Nobody can touch that! There's no words to describe a voice that amazing! When Mariah debuted, the record company said "A Voice came down from the heavens", that's about as close as i can get to describing Mariah!

  • @izzycub listen to how Mau Marcelo sing that song, i think would come close.

  • @lefemmefatal01 I listened to it for you. Mau has a nice and powerful voice. She just don't do it for me the way Mariah does. Mariah's voice is like magic candy for my ears. She give's me ear'gasms. LOL.

  • I like this

  • Amazing voice. Like no other...

    ... I just couldn't take my eyes of her waving hands though...

  • What an amazing performance from Mariah Carey!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!

  • wonderful voice...

  • OMG!! 20 years ago

  • AMAZING VOCAL CONTROL!! she's the onl;y singer that can do so much voice control. PERFECT!

  • -- amazing ! :)

  • God she must be just hanging out with us down here! Thanks Mariah!

  • wtf! why are there 3 dislikes??? they must be crazy..... this is amazing!!

  • @MsAshleywarren there will always be a hater...people hated Jesus!

  • gOsh.. lupet tlga ni MARIAH!

  • ONE OF THE BEST VOICES THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD.NO ONE CAN DENY IT.

  • i miss the "old" mariah.. though i was just a baby those times, i immediately fall for her at the first time i heard her voice.

  • Mariah carey cant sing like this nowadays.. bcoz she's old.. but I still love her.. she's still amazing..

  • its almost like she was a puppy with ears too big for her that she had to grow into, in this case, she had to grow into that HUGE voice of hers...shes still a bit young here, but AMAZING ohmygosh it gives me shivers

  • This is my absolute favorite Love Takes Time performance..although I think her vocals in the 1990's weren't as good as 1993 or 1995-1996, they were still amazing.

    The reason I love this performance is because she sings the "Tell me how to stop the rain" like she does on the studio version. In most performances, she does "Lord I'm needing you now, won't you tell me how to stop the rain..."

    REAL lambs know what I'm talking about :)

  • Comment removed

  • I wish they go back to doing stuff like this, them maybe we wouldn't have so many shitty singers, cuz back in the day you can look good all you want but if the talent wasn't there your ass was not getting the deal!!!

  • amoooo essas musicas antigas da mariah...arrasa mto!

  • OMG 3:01, i could die for the moment. she is incomparable

  • Mariah is the gift from God to all the human race...

  • @godofgenius SHE REALLY IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC.. AND ALSO THINK ABOUT HER WRITING THIS SONG. THAT WOULD ONLY SAY THAT SHE IS THE PERFECT SINGER/ARTIST OF THEM ALL OF ALL TIME. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY AND PERFECTLY TRUE.. MARIAH CAREY WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME. AFTER SHE CAME ALL THE NEW SINGERS ARE JUST COPYING HER STYLE ESPECIALLY HER WHISTLE REGISTER.. EVEN THIS BEYONCE IS TRYING HARD TO WHISTLE OH MY. MARIAH CAREY IS INCOMPARABLE, INCREDIBLE AND UNBEATABLE, ETC..

  • MARIAH CAREY is undeniably a born star. She has contributed so much in music and has touched people's lives in so many ways. Oh God, I love this woman.

  • yeeeeeeeeees for ti-i-i-i-ime! @ 3:24

  • this woman is amazing... she is the best singer I ever heard... she is so diferent now... but we can't do anything about time... she is still a great singer..

  • I Love you mariah, this is one of my favories, and I own this album also

  • no tengo palabras para describir lo hermosa que esta cancion , es una de las mejores interpretaciones de mariah que e oido y esta cancion es muy especial para mi la amoo

    Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah Mariah

  • OOOHHHH this song still gives me goose bumps and occasionally brings a tear to the eye

  • she was amazing in the old days! I was 12 when I heard her sing "without you" for the first time. I thought "wow, this is what really good singing should sound like, this is the kind of music I want to do". Well, I am not Mariah, nobody is, she is so unique, but she's been an idol to me for years!

  • @NatashaCarmen i agree with you... She is soooo UNIQUE.. anybody can sounds and copy any artist but MARIAH?? i don't think so.. "often imitated but never duplicated"

  • Wow! Amazing performance! She hit every note perfectly. She is one of a kind. She is such a natural talent and is in control of her voice. Beautiful.

  • Hahaha. Did anyone notice how the guy is looking at her at 1:50? He defenetely had a crush on her.

  • Less crush, more admiration.

  • I don't that Christina could sing in this keyrange. And if she can, it would be very annoying, sometimes when Christina sings she yells too much, like she's straining. Christina's voice is close to immitating Whitney, but still doesn't come that close to Whitney when she first came out.

    Mariah back in the day sang very controlled, without straining. I do think that Christina's music is underrated cause 'Stripped' was a good album. But i cannot listen to her live performances..

  • @sexyslim1982 agree! just as singers today dont compare w/ 90's singers! just as models today don't compare w/ 90's models! haha its so weird. musta been somethin in the water! TRUE beauty and talent have faded! :(((((( so sad! the industry should be more picky again,just as in the 90's

  • sexyslim1982 wow, I agree 100%, I think the same. Christina has a superb voice, but most of the time is just annoying. I wonder what is the key to know when you're using a powerful voice or a yelling voice, because sometimes christina is just pure yelling, at least to me, and some people just stand up and give her a round of applause and I say what?, that was horrible

  • @sexyslim1982 I think this is especially true during the "Back to Basics" era, and around the time of her first album.. her voice was amazing during the Stripped era.. but I agree: she always struggles with the higher notes.

  • @sexyslim1982 why don't you shut up and listen to this beautiful singer instead of talking about another amazing singer?

  • I love her so much!!

  • @iimeenitzz SHE REALLY IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC.. AND ALSO THINK ABOUT HER WRITING THIS SONG. THAT WOULD ONLY SAY THAT SHE IS THE PERFECT SINGER/ARTIST OF THEM ALL OF ALL TIME. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY AND PERFECTLY TRUE.. MARIAH CAREY WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME.

MARIAH CAREY IS INCOMPARABLE, INCREDIBLE AND UNBEATABLE, ETC..

  • is that whistle notes?...its f#6-g#6...sounds like falsetto mixed with whistle register

  • IMHO, best song she ever sang!

  • This and Proctor Theatre are the best performances of this song.

  • mariah is unique! uncomparable! dont ya'll ever 4get that! n yeah there are amazing voices such as whitney,celine,atretha, but theres not gunna be born anutha 1 lk mariah..we're so blessed 2 have her! absolute Queen!! :X

  • And I really don't get why she is constantly compared to Whitney - I guess people compared them because of the vocal acrobatics in which they were especially proficient. But their voices are very different - when Whitney came out, she had this clear, soprano timbre to her voice while Mariah arrived with a dark, husky and alto-esque timbre. They even use different techniques, and they are vastly different when it comes to live performances.

  • I really, truly, think that this was Mariah's voice at its best - or at least, it was this voice that I like best among all the voices she used during her career. Some prefer the glassy texture of her 1995-1996 years; I, meanwhile prefer this lower, darker and more soulful tone. This performance actually surprised me; although, again, I could do away with her hand gestures which were better then than they are now. It's sad to think that her skills as a live performer decreased from then to now.

  • WOW

  • Such a great ballad!

  • obviously the best vocal ever!:)

  • i know i think she has the potential to do so much more with her voice and its like she has given up to try and fit into todays society she was wayy better back then

  • i like her voice........ she is amazing singer :)

  • Mariah the best! Wonderful voice!

  • mc had a gospel sound to her voice for the first couple of yrs,miss it

  • that whistle gave me chills dahmn shes good whitney can sing too but i always felt something special with mariah shes the best

  • i miss mariah in 90's

  • why it says,,,, debut????????????

    was this the first time people saw her on tv or what?

  • it was her first mini concert if that makes any sense

  • ooooooooooo ok... thanks

  • Wonderful! Fantastic! beautiful voice! I Love Mariah carey!!!!

  • OMG!!! This is the vocal of a goddess!!!

  • This young fresh-voiced Mariah was really something :)

  • Great performance!

    In this video Mariah's voice is fantastic!

  • MARIAH CAREY.... ohhh Mariah Carey!!

    I always shiver when I hear her whistle on min 3:00 amazing, just amazing.

  • This is an amazing and magical from Mariah Carey. She has an amazing voice. She is also a beautiful person too. Mariah Carey is a living legend and one of the most successful artists of all time. real talent rules forever. Go Mariah. Keep singing girl.

  • the only way we are going to hear the difference in mariahs voice is if she sings in a small club like this one. it is sooo much easier to sing in a small venue rather than huge stadiums.

  • i disagree i have sang in front of a 6,000 strong audience and i hafto say it's much harder to sing to a 100 strong audience because you focus on them individually rather than just a mass of people

  • Yeah but everyone is different, you can't generalize or speak for mariah.

  • I'm not generalizing.......she said it in her music box tour interview

  • Yeah but during her charmbracelet "shining through the rain" exhibition she said its easier and better and preferable for her to sing in a small venue because it allows her to connect with her fan in a more "intimate" setting. Doesn't sound stressful to me

  • I disagree. Smaller venues feel like you are singing to individual people, especially if you are singing to a group of your peers. That is the most frightening thing to do, at least for me it is.

    Larger groups, oddly enough, give you more anonymity, because, to the performer, the audience appears as if it is just a wave of people, rather than individual faces and bodies.

  • For someone like Mariah who has obviously overcome stage fright, it would indeed be easier to sing in a smaller venue because you can hear your voice soo much better. When your singing in a huge stadium you have to compete with the huge band behind you and then you have to deal with the echo that a stadium causes. When your in a small venue with a 5 piece band you can hear yourself so much better. Its almost impossible to sing in a low falsetto when you can't hear yourself.

  • ya but im sure her monitor helps too but I know what u mean

  • that's why we use set pieces nowadays

  • at 3:01 very clear strong whistle! And she didn't struggle. She was perfect at doing high notes in those days, she can still but it seemed stronger back then in the 1990's.

  • 1990 was 18 years ago. 18 years of belting and using melisma wears down your voice, just like overworking any part of your body.

  • No it doesn't beatmania, that's a very common misconception. People say the same thing about using the whistle register. It's a ridiculous assumption.

  • how do i download this safely to my computer? does anybody know? tnx.. i love this song!!! my favorite

  • you can do it with a software called "vdownloader" it is easy...

    take care

  • Mariah Forever - DIVA -

  • She's the true idol of the 21st century

  • perfect

  • awesome talent and great person!!!! love her so much!

  • thin I mean

  • i freakin' love her to death she is the best singer in the world =)

  • I'd have to agree with ChERrYPiE209 that she is the best singer in the world. Too bad she had to change her style to being slutty. The 90's were the best for her.

  • oh

    wow

    amazing

    mariah u is the best singer in the world

  • Mariah was gorgeous at this time in her life. Perfectly thin and trim with really pretty soft curly hair. I haven't liked her image as much since she took on more of a slutty look and attitude.

  • I have to agree with this comment from KPetrangeli:

    Mariah was gorgeous at this time in her life. Perfectly thin and trim with really pretty soft curly hair. I haven't liked her image as much since she took on more of a slutty look and attitude.

  • Look at that MTV Movie Awards doing WBT, if that ain't a BEAUTIFUL woman righ there. Beautiful.

  • One of my favorite things about Mariah is that you can see in her face that she really cares about how she is doing. She tries hard ! Especially in these early videos, I can feel her passion and determination .

  • so what has changed?

  • Perfeito demais!

  • I have never seen this video before! Love it!
