  • I bet Mariah NEVER woulda thought the day would come that Patti Labelle pays tribute to her! Beautiful moment for Mariah at the BET honors!!

  • This performance is so amazing! I love Patti's reaction. She loves Mariah... it's so obvious!

  • Behold the master of melisma... Ms. MARIAH CAREY, the greatest singer of our time.

  • EAT THIS LADY GAGA AND KATY PERRY!

  • legendary diva. immortal artist, timeless superstar

  • I'm sorry, but there some songs that I only like when the

    o.g artist sings them,such as "If only You Knew", De Ja Vu, and also"Vision Of Love". Nice tribute non-the-less.

  • She needs to start singing in her chest voice more. I hate all the whispering she does.

  • She doesn't sing like this anymore. I miss old Mariah....

  • the only issue is the song is too short.

  • This proves how Mariah is the only one who can mix melisma with elegance! Hands down!

  • This is such a great performance. If I was there id cry.

  • INCOMPARABLE MELISMA...XTINA WOULD HAVE TO SWALLOW 10TONS OF CUMM BEFORE SHE CAN DO THIS..

  • @pieceofbritnald This made me laugh! Hahaha!

  • wish mariah would have recorded this

  • she did really good, i always wanted to hear her sing this. and her hair looks amazing (=

  • If only Mariah was in THIS voice at Diva's Live 1998. She was killin'!

  • Mariah, I love you but what the fuck is with that weave?

  • @vitaminB100 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT JUST MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!

  • I said yuuu don't know how much I loove you showw god(?)

    Listen to that phrasing. 1:00

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow lol..ridiculous. the whole vocals, riffs and phrasing in this song are just out of the world

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow she sang "I said you dont know how much I Love you SUGAR !!!"

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow maybe she meant to say:" you don't know how much I love you, sure God! lol

  • the belt at 1:06 alone is proof that her voice didn't go anywhere(at least not at that point). how many of you people could go through a "steep vocal decline" and still hit a note like that without cracking? exactly. so stfu!

  • i can't stop watching this video !!! she just sounds so amazing !!

  • I can fart a G7 note and Mariah's voice is shot to hell. All she does now is whisper in her songs. Patti Labelle is timeless!

  • @lisiatew Aren't they both? ;) In response to whisper- she's always whispered, and then belted the climax.. which is why all of her songs have a story :)

  • @narutoclaymore Listen to her first album. There was no whispering at all. Whispering came later when she damaged her vocal cords from all that high pitch screeching.

  • @lisiatew

    @lisiatew

    WRONG. IF you listen CLOSELY to her first album , there is so many songs that have "whispers" to it. Listen to "There's Got to be A Way" for example. Maybe you are confused with the tonal quality of her voice before she damaged it.

  • @lisiatew Um, no. Vanishing is all about the whispering vocals. So was the entire Emotions album.

  • @lisiatew She damaged her vocal cords from constantly using her voice (putting out albums and performances back to back) not high pitch screeching.

  • @lisiatew she has 200 mil what do you have? :O

  • @FreyaDiamond a pile of shit for her and some for you too

  • @lisiatew i rest my case.no one cares about you or every will and deep down no matter how you bitch or what smart ass remark you come up with. it wont change that absolute fact :D

  • @FreyaDiamond Bravo!!! Bravo to you and Mariah's millions! *rolling eyes

  • @lisiatew thanx :D shes smiling too im sure.

  • @lisiatew lol take a seat. thanks for proving that you aint know shit nothing about mariah's discography. she has been utilizing her whispery vocals since 'vanishing' 'i'll be there' 'love takes time' the only difference is that she kind of loses her velvety, clarity and weight to them. her voice aint' going nowhere. 'fart a G7 note' thanks for the most boring joke...too bad that no one can do those staccato in G7 like mimi did. FAIL

  • Uh oh.... Mariah got squeeky pipes

  • Love Mariah but....that hair tho.. lol

  • CHOP

  • She really is one of the best singers of the world gosh i miss this mariah !

  • Flawless and AMaZING! The control and meslisma, unaparelled. The meslisnatic phrasing Gdlk. Haters dont know what teyre mssing, eargasms all around haha :)

  • justin bieber :P :D xD

    don't get pssed off people just had to lighting the place up a bit kinda boring here ;)

  • @CowriahSlutarey U Aint Got NO TALENT SO U WANT TO BLAME SOMEBODY ELSE FOR IT FUCK U WHO CARES IF U CANT FUCKING SING STUPID ASS HOE/NIGGA FALL BAXK RT NAW FOOL I SWEAR IM BOUT TO GET ON YO ASS ....SHE AGING PART OF LIFE PPL THESE DAYS CANT SING FOR SHIT ALL THEY CAN DO IS LIP SING AND SHIT THESE ARE REAL LEGENDS AND IF U DNT LIKE IT KEEP STEPPING AND STOP WATCHING THE VIDEIS STUPID ASS FOOL.! >:-|

  • lacked emotion, didn't care for it.

  • @DDDD1980 haha... how is this lacking in emotion/???? Did you SEE the part where she sings over the rainbow?? She's breaking it DOWN.... and u need emotion for that!

    

  • @DDDD1980 idiot

  • mariah's range is unbelievable...patti will have difficulty singing her version.. she goes up and down... wow :)

  • @johne0410 what are you talking about? patti does stuff like that all the time! and both songs were taken down noticeably from the original key. mariah still did great though

  • i love this song, i wish mariah would remake this song for upcoming record !!

  • Ummmm well she starts in a low key bcuz she is actually AN ALTO!!!! and she us professional so of course the professional thing to do Is to start where she is comfortable!!!! #Duh BUT GREAT JOB MARIAH...VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE...THE BEST OF THE BEST...

  • Great job!

  • Patti & MiMi are dear, dear Friends...Patti is probably one of the few Legendary Singers that really cares about Mariahs well being...Ya'll need to stop the Madness...Mariah MIGHT sing this very song @ the 2011 BET Awards on June 26th. Nick Cannon is gonna be there...Patti has said MANY times that Mariah's voice is "The Voice"...Mariah couldnt ask for a better "GodMother" than the Iconic Patti LaBelle..

  • @OmegaJerico Sorry to disappoint you but the title "The Voice" belongs to Whitney Houston, this is acknowledged by no less than Oprah Winfrey, here's proof

    youtube.com/watch?v=t-9wWkoGRU­c

  • @whatigot2say Patti obviously thought she sounded good... Low class? Attacking someone from behind your keyboard, if that doesn't scream classy I don't know what does. I never quite understand why people choose to hate on other people yet take the time to sit there and watch and spit venom, if you don't like them. Don't watch it! Simple. I think it's simply because they're intimidated by the skills of others and feel scared when others applaud people's talents besides their idols. Immature.

  • @sameshitdifday SUCK MY DICK BITCH!!! I have my motherfuckin preference just like you do. I can go aywhere I damn well please. Get yo tongue out of Mariah's pussy bitch!

  • @sameshitdifday

    We didn't discuss nada. Your lack of intelligence or comprehension doesn't allow that. Bye bye..hater *waves as sameshitdiday gets driven away on the little bus*

  • @sameshitdifday

    'Haters' are people who hate for no reason. Critiqing is when people point out weak spots. Now, kindly choke on a diseased rhino dick, ya heard?

  • I love her so much!

  • my idol except God

  • They love each other so much. Patti has so much respect for Mariah and obviously Mariah worships her. It's so nice to see Patti getting so into the performance like that. It was a great performance :)

  • @mariahphilmrazem Great PAHLEEZ DA BEST HAHA LAMBS4LIFE!!!!

    

  • Who else can sing "over the rainbow" like that?? Incredible!

  • when she sang in the beginning..."i guessed i rehearsed my lines"

    i thought she actually forgot them for the song...xD

  • i do think mariahs voice thinned out a lil during this time, but i mean my GOD what a fuckin amazing performance

  • 2:11 to 2:22 She Nailed It! I Still Have Chills.

  • Love everything about this performance sing it mimi!

  • great job mariah....as always... love ur voice..

  • Whoever said mariah is an alto is ludacris...

  • @oni6903 hahaha heller ner they're completley right. what's ludacris is that she is an alto having the range and agility of a colortura soprano:)

  • @oni6903 i know!!! even he rmother said she was not an alto on a live interview and any oen who here her knows that,lol

  • @oni6903 mariah is actually a alto with incredible range

  • A quote from Mariah, "The only thing that really affects my voice is sleep. Sometimes if I'm exhausted, I can't hit the really high notes."[197] "My doctors showed me my vocal cords and why I can hit those high notes. It's a certain part of the cord that not many people use—the very top. My natural voice is low. I have a raspy voice. I'm really more of an alto. But my airy voice can be high if I'm rested...." Really more of an Alto is what I'm saying when comparing her to Patti.

  • That C4-C5 slide at the end was ridiculous. She really is the Mistress of Melisma hands down.

  • @rekupp agreed :)

  • @rekupp why ridiculous? was very good at 2:11

  • Comment removed

  • OMG!!!

  • sing it momma!!! aint no one can compare to this vocal ninja!

  • SING IT GIRL!!!!!!!

  • Mariahs voice is so amazing.

  • the range in Patti's chest voice is longer than Mariah's

  • @noongdeedee yeah I agree, they are both Sopranos, Pattie being the more thick voiced dramatic soprano, and Mariah, the sweet lyrical agile one.

  • @noongdeedee Patty's lower range dwarf's Mariah. They could go tit for tat on the higher octaves...but the lower is where Mariah shouldn't go.

  • @youbetterbelieveit2 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Mariah's lower range from B2-C5 are better than Patti's. Patti has a way better range at D5-C6 and of course anything above that goes right to Mariah. I love both Patti and Mariah and I know exactly who's notes are better where.

  • @jesparza562 people mariah voice is a lot better than patti, can patti make a G7 note ? nooooo mariah is able to do that really easy so mariah can make any note that patty makes but patty will never be able to make a G7 note, do you have something to say ?

  • @MrBigcake85 She can do a G7 with easzzzz I mean she is not a better singer Mariah is greatness but not better tho!!!! Patti Vocals are insane they can go every which way and her control is on point!!!!

  • @MrBigcake85 i dont think they do,lol mariah voice was just tired thast all but she has made her vocal comback adnproved her voice to be able to stand time!! theyall know they herd her sing on her christmas special "live" and blew the roof off with ease,XD!!!!!!!

  • @youbetterbelieveit2 OH !! Yeah i got it THX

  • @youbetterbelieveit2 How can Patti's lower range dwarf Mariah's when Patti's a soprano and Mariah's an alto?

    @T1000Mr Mariah's an alto. Not a soprano.

  • @BlackLightning20101 ...another quote "French-American baritone and singing teacher in the Conservatoire de Paris Malcolm Walker as well as music critic Stephen Holden of The New York Times and vocal pedagogue Jeannette Lo Vetri state that her (Mariah) lower regiter is "tired", "distended"...there are other with more range that both Patti & Mariah...like Monica, but I wouldn't put her on their level. Mariah & Minnie are known for their "Whistle Register"...that's why I love them.

  • that last slide was awesome!

  • when I listen to a mariah Carey performance, I always wonder : How can anyone on earth hav such a brilliant ear for music coupled with that stellar voice. It really doesn't get better than this.Really doesn't.

    If patti were on that stage, we all know mariah couldn't have been heard because her tone IS like that. However,it is the musicianship that counts and Carey has LOADS of it to vanquish any female artist except aretha/ella/barbra!!!

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow please she doesn't sound impressive on this song, why did she start out in such a low key? she's a rank amateur compared to patti, not to mention she sounds the same on every piece of music that's put in front of her low class face.

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow don't forget tina turner! lol

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow And The One And Only Whitney Houston Did You See The Oscar Of 99 Enough Said.

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow i dont agree with the second part of your comment . you couldnt just have complimented the queen without taking cheap shots ?

  • she is sangin. dont hate on mariah!

  • THIS IS A REAL TRIBUTE TO PATTI LABELLE WHERE EVERYONE IS Q

  • Comment removed

  • amazing performance, one of her all time best ever.

  • I think she was wonderful. Good Job Mariah!

  • Yeah Mariah rocks mofo's! so stop giving her shit cause she can afford to put a hit on you!hahahahahahahahaha

  • damn mariah sung her heart out!!!!! you go mariah

  • Mariah sang with such passion!!

    Absolutely beautiful!!

  • Mariahs tits are smaller here...hmmm guess there were 2 surgeries.

  • haha.. my pinapaypayan cia dito... mainit daw..

  • the arrangement of the song was done also the mariah carey way! she owned it. it seemed like she was the original singer. also kudos to patti la belle. the great.

  • she sang it the mariah carey way!! very beautiful and astounding performance. truly incomparable!

  • Patti and Mariah are awsome

  • mariah loxt her voice now..

  • Okay, i adore her vocals 53 seconds.. stellar just stellar I love how she goes into that note. This was a very good performance. go mimi.. 20 years in the game...

  • Mariah circa 1990's was off the CHAIN vocally. Her first album is still wickid. Mx

  • @MsMerising Tell me one person who can make run &riffs like this, sounding so soulful? Just few people. she changed her style and she is legend and butterfly era was just incredible because of songs like "My All"; "ButterFly", "Whenever you call", "Honey" just really legendary like all of her stuff. So many people learned singing by listening to Mariah Carey, she is just a Legend.

  • @MrBarBarozz

    I grew up listening to the greats - Aretha Franklin, Inez Andrews, Labelle, Phyllis Hyman, Chaka, Minnie Riperton etc = they inspired MARIAH to sing. Like I said, Mariah's earlier work was her best vocally, pointedly her first album. I still like some songs, but my foundations may run deeper than yours :)

  • @MsMerisin mariah biggest inspirations is minnie, but minnie never could control her whistles so good like Mariah does. Mariah sings words when she whistles, what Minnie never could even though she was good. Nobody of these named vocalists could do what mariah did in "Vision of Love", "Someday" or just "Emotions", all her own written songs! With killer Vocals, lower and higher then any of your named artist ever sang in their entire life. I love the artist you called but vocally they arent near.

  • @MrBarBarozz

    By the way kid, Mariah and I grew up listening to the same music whether R&B or Hip-Hop. You may think her shit is off the chain where I just notice where's she biting Indeep, Cameo, Mobb Deep, Aretha Franklin etc.

    Conversation CLOSED novice :) Mx

  • @MrBarBarozz

    What are you TALKING about? Now I know you know nothing about vocals. Minnie Riperton could actually hit NOTES, not sounds. That is why she blew away people like Phyllis Hyman, Charles Stepney, the Crusaders, all accomplished musicians. And she could sustain her notes. Not to mention just walk out on stage and hit them where Mariah can barely squeak them.

    One day you're gonna look back on your post and be embarrassed by your comments..:D

  • @MsMerising First of all i am 25 years old and why should i be ashamed? because a 31 years unknown, jealous, hillbilly whore trying to bash mariah? I think its not o.k, but if you want to. You should shame yourself, trying manipulating some people you even dont know. Mariah has achieved more then any singer you named and so lol keep trying. Minnie hits some Whistles, Mariah made the best runs in the world with her whistles! Sorry and the good Minnie, never could sound go higher the mariahreality

  • @MrBarBarozz

    LMAO! Look at you slanging pseudo-insults like a child throwing a tantrum...I know it kills you that people have DIFFERENT opinions...but please, you're showing your ass, kiddo. 'Minnie hit some whistles'...lol...SOME whistles...that in itself shows you that you know nothing of Minnie's catalogue let alone you are not trained in MUSIC. Now, excuse me, this pureblood European with 38-31-39 1/2 measurements and real ahir has her 4.0 score at a leading University to maintain... :)

  • @MsMerising

    TYPO - Hair :D

  • @MsMerising Mariah writes/compose/arrange and co produce, her songs since 1990. She 5 Number Ones following at her Debut, all songs from her. her vocals has /had a combination between soul and opera, like nobody else had. Minnie had never vocal belting power like Mariah haha haha you tellin me, i dont know what im talkin about? retarded, to say something like that. Mariah has reached millions of people and sold over 200 Millions records to day? and the singers you named? lol maybe the half

  • @MsMerising Just who is retarded waste his time, with things that hes/she it dont like... mentally abused people like you. Why are you even commenting /listening? You cant change people choices and nobody of the singers you named, become famous all around the world, in a short time like Mariah did. Thats because her 5 Octave Range and her genius music! Aretha, Patti, Marj Blige said in interviews mariah best female voice they heard in her life! Try again

  • @MsMerising you are comparing the wrong people to minnie! mad disrespect, she was in her own league as far as register and tone. phlis hyman wasn't even that popular when minnie was in her prime.

  • @mjjcng8958

    Phyllis didn't even start recording until 1976...and to put Phyllis Hyman in the same league is MEGA respect. Minnie inspired Phyllis with range and Phyllis sang beautifully. To compare MARIAH to either...now THAT'S mad disrespect...

  • @MsMerising what i am saying is to me they where both great but different. i think comparing anyone to anybody else like you said is just wrong bc everybody has their own bag

  • @MsMerising"Mariah Carey", "Emotions", "Music Box", "Day Dream", "Butterfly", "Rainbow" and even "Glitter" are vocally just perfection. Mariah Carey never sang like a Whitney simple technique did, she is more like Michael Jackson and sing hard beltings, low notes mix some whistles. Tell me one singer who that multifaceted? Can change her singing style and sound different everytime. Mariah is best Soul Ballades singer in the entire world!

  • @MrBarBarozz

    How did a simple prop from me become a debate? But if you REALLY want to go there, Mariah's upper range is horrendous. Her higher notes cannot be sustained where people she idolzied like Minnie Riperton can actually sing words in the whistle register let alone sustain the notes for extended periods.

    Chaka Khan, Jill Scott, Marvin Gaye...they all kill Mariah. She does too many damn runs. She lacks emotive power. Again, she was at her best on her first album.

  • @MsMerising mariah can sing words in her whistle register....just look up her song Bliss

  • @MsMerising she does too many damn runs ??? None of those singers you mentioned can even dream of weaving around the chord arrangements like Carey does.She's the best musician of her generation and not even the great vocalists of the 50s/60s/70s really could pull off what she could. AND Mariah's upper chest register is absolutely resonant-even more than whitney's which is proof enough of her calibre.

  • @mc1ate1mad1cow

    Runs are fine...but not at the sake of being an emotive interpretor. Pulling the meaning from a song should take precedence over vocal gymnastics. FYI I bought Mariah's first album vinyl as well as her first VHS compilation, lol. On that album she balanced both well but over the years IMO has just gotten waaaay too emeshed in runs...

  • @MsMerising Minnie could sing words? I have heard a lot of her songs and her whistles are uncontrolled and forced. Mariah's belting WAS definitely amazing from 1990-2005.

  • @happyperson123456

    You evidently don't pay much attention to music than. Do me a favor: take Minnie and Mariah's catalogue to someone who is skilled in music, who can read music and let them school you on true vocal strength and range. You will see that you have it backwards...

  • @MsMerising Who cares? I'm not changing your opinion and you certainly are not changing mine. Minnies tone is not my cup of tea and her whistles are uncontrolled imo. Mariah's tone and use of the whistle is much better.

    Betty Wright was far superior to Minnie and Mariah as well imo.

  • @happyperson123456

    Do I dare suggest that Minnie has better control and range than BOTH Betty and Mariah however you just prefer the musical styles of the two latter to the former? It's all good to have your own opinion, you just sound hella silly when you say Minnie has no control when Minnie hits actual notes where Mariah and Betty just sqwark on the whistle register (coming from a HUGE Betty Wright fan, too)

  • @MsMerising Mariah could sing words in the whistle register quiete well to and sustain them she showed the abillity to sustain at least up to c7

  • @hessounusual95

    Actually, if you listen to her upper range there is alot of 'hiss' on her vocals. Minnie actually can sing whole phrases in the whistle register. Rahsaan Roland Kirk, a virtuoso flautist lost his mind when he first heard Minnie. He was blown away by the fact her whistles were pitch-perfect. All good that people prefer Mariah, I just wish people didn't fabricate truths because they prefer one artist over the other :)

  • @MsMerising Oh i would never take any credit away from Minnie Riperton she deserves it lol. And maybe that hiss is because of her nodules (born with them), and Mariah has sang whole phrases , well if you count "You're never to farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" as a whole phrase lol. While Mariah is my favorite female vocalist i wouldn't dare discredit any other artist just because i prefer her, especially one of her inspiration's! lol

  • @hessounusual95

    FINALLY - objectivity! Oh, how I value objectivity. MUCH respect! :) Mx

  • @MsMerising No problem haha, i try not to be bias especially in situations were it involves singers and music lol. Mariah and Minnie both talented singers, both made an impact in music, such a shame the world lost Minnie so soon :/

  • @MsMerising The hiss is the addition of more past the vocal folds as one accesses the whistle register. It takes more control to use the breathy whistle than the full sounding one.

  • @rekupp

    Alot of people when they sing regularly in 'normal' ranges sound 'hissy'...

  • @MsMerising Minnie was/is a great legend! She was unbelievable and unlike Mariah, her whistle notes were very pleasant to my ears. She sounded like an angel. She had great whistle register control, probably the best. She didn't scream her whistle notes like Mariah and could sing the whistle scales fluidly. She could start soft then go high, high then soft, she was AMAZING! She is one of my favorite singers ever, and her version of Otis Reddings "respect" with rotary connection is my favorite.

  • @ThePharaoho

    Her control over her instrument is incredible. I loved seeing her paid homage in the Tribe Called Quest documentary they aired some footage I had never seen of her performing 'Inside My Love', different from the ones posted here on YouTube. Whether with the Gems, Andrea Davis, Rotary Connection, Terry Callier, Wonderlove or solo - Minnie was the TRUTH! ;) <3

  • @ThePharaoho mariah doesn't scream her whistles at all, what in Gods name are you talking about? mariah has the natural ability in her voice to do everything you just described minnie can do, only minnie, although amazing, doesn't have the same effortlessness of mariah.

  • @hessounusual95 she sustained an E7 at her "I Wish You Well" song

  • @mariah3510 i'm talking live not studio.

  • @hessounusual95 just telling #yowww!

  • I love mariah and i love pattie, im not sure if i like this though. breaking up her words a little too much. love the emotion though.

    Youtube hype: So annoying to see ppl bringing up other artistes to compare or diss. i.e Leona. who cares who's better!!! I LIKE BOTH! they're giving us music. These amazing singers dont care as ppl stress and fight about them.

  • outside of patti, not too many artists can touch mariah, not too many artist can sing a "patti" song and do it justice, what people fail to realize about patti, mariah, "baby mariah" a.k.a. christina aguilera, take away the lyrics and hear, not listen to the notes they sing accompanied by the band, those are some technically bad ass bitches! All Hail!!

  • Such an emotional performance. Absolutely amazing. I love how she lets loose when she sings "blue birds flaiaiaaiaiaiaaiyayai"

  • @CampbellxxPisces that's the heavy weight melismatic champion of all times for you !!!! The songbird Supreme.

    NO ONE.

  • Just amazingly beautiful mariah....did it once again :)

  • Mariah Carey sounds AMAZING in this vid!!! I luv that u can see just how much work, effort, and time she put into this performance for a soul legend like Patti LaBelle! Thanks so much 4 uploading!

  • what is the title if the song???

  • @princesskimiko80  The first song is called "If only you knew" and the second song is called "over the rainbow"

  • @AAS248441 LOL lies!!!!

  • Love it

  • i like this 

  • mariah carey got banged on her back right b4 coming on the stage look at the back of her hair

  • holy craaaapp she is so darrrrrrrn hottttttt

  • amazing....i really feel the emotions

  • SING BABY!

  • mariah carey cant be replaced even someone tries to be her.but she's got gift you must understand.she didnt knew it and didnt mean to like tshe said on her best speech.well, haters u must understand whats the real world like

  • To anyone who has heard and appreciate Mariah's early work, Knows that the Mariah we got today is (umm) not the same. I became aware of Mariah late in her career when s
