[5icenfire5]

[beavertown2006]

Lost her voice.

[boogiebudgie]

struggling.



[LalouLea]

this is bad :o 

[ye5442]

She sounds like she's sick

[PoliticsAddict]

yeah she lost it..

[MrDanielbalan]

what happened with her amazing voice?????

[mariochav]

shes so humble, she allowed that the contestants had their own brilliant moment! she didn't want to be the star in this show, because she knows that the others singers could do it well!

[facamoy1979]

en ese tiempo estaba enferma, desgastada, agotada, ahora está revitalizada y canta excelente!!

[SidSer4ever]

ha perdido toda la voz... pobre :(

[MsKriscarmz]

i hate changing tune

[SIVANUNES]

Que brega!

[MayaSummers]

my god she sounds awful here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MayaSummers]

not sung as well as when she was younger. the beginning was terrible

[mgblue]

lol where are they now xfactor contestants...poor guys...

[iraqiprincess7]

i love her amazing voice

[NadyaWill]

love her voice, it's amazing

[mis73hemi]

omg i love mariah but this is one of the worst ive seen or heard frm hrr its shockn like at simon cow hes like wtf lol

[TheWithLyrics]

Oh my God, how many times has she been to that show?

[mattllovato]

Mariah canta muito , as pessoas criticam, mas ela sempre conseguiu ficar na fama por 21 anos. Isso é talento.

[Apolux112]

although this wasn't her best performance i think that 2:21 - 2:23 was a really good note and i always replay it hahahaha XD :D

[MyFilip97]

Amm, it is obvious that she cannot sing this song like she was singin' it early 90s, but I can't find anywhere, can someone tell me why?

[SarahW4023]

Even though I didn't exactly like this performance, or how she changed the song, I still think that her voice was beautiful :)

[aangcarey]

I Think Her Mother Always Proud Of Her!! She's The Best Singer Ever In The World..

No One Can Sing Any Of Mariah's Song Well Or Better Than Her Even If The Worst Performance!

[grantalex31]

This isnt her best performance, her voice was better back in the day but still great :)

[morningstars1000]

AMAZING ......

[twinqletwinqle]

Like our youth, we can only look back and remember 'those were the good ol' days'

Mariah singing Hero exactly 15 years before

dF-CQR_H-9E

[BADBOY0542]

WHITNEY HAS AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHIT WTF IS MARIAHS REASON LMAO SMH SO SAD

[SarahW4023]

@BADBOY0542 Over used her voice apparently, she never rested it and was always belting it. So basically it's now fucked compared to before lmao

[m3s111]

صوتها حلو بس هي أحلا ههههههاي

[musicfan0300]

Although she's amazingly talented, I like how she sang this song in the early 90's better.

[JordiDion]

i agree with u both. Mariah isnt on her best in this video but she IS AMAZING.

[junjimy]

SHe is amazing ~ of course i think she was sick. her voice reverb happen in another video when she was singing Bye Bye

[JBHITA1]

DAANG GIRL! Whats up with those Vocals? O:

[WarfareJJ]

Simon looked so much better way back then haha :P

[TheFlicka28]

The reverb on her voice can't hide it.

[J2Haify]

@TheFlicka28 please, learn music, then go away,

[TheFlicka28]

@J2Haify What's evident to me after reading your comment is that you do not have a clue about music. If you can't tell that her pitch was flat in parts I feel sorry for you. Enjoy your day, bye now! :)

[J2Haify]

@TheFlicka28 HAHAHA! out of all singers, you can not say mariah cant control her pitch, she's one of the rarest person on earth who can control her pitch, not only that, she can control her whistle register.. oh god.. cant believe out of anyone you said that about her.

[TheFlicka28]

@J2Haify Oh dear. You're just not listening once again. I am commenting on ONE performance. I have seen plenty of her live ones from years back where she was exceptional. In this one she IS flat. Now please take your dodgy ears and go home.

[J2Haify]

@TheFlicka28 k.

[TheFlicka28]

That was as flat as a witch's tit. Simon knows it too. So sad.....

[Iloveyouguy]

I think it's so fucking good, I loves it, she's an inspiration, a real artist, indeed!

[MyFilip97]

This was, OMG, Pretty BAD performanse!

[mandlam1000]

she is one of the few artists than sings songs from her early career

[mandlam1000]

at least we know its live and its better than all today

[matrix2021]

What is going on at @2.55 and @3.12 ? Is that her going into a whistle register without her realising/wanting to? Or is it a problem with the sound?

[xXxmissemmaxXx]

@matrix2021 its her nodule on her vocal chords are vibrating against the mic when she trys to belt, normally she pulls the mircrophone away from her mouth when it starts to happen (nodules play up, when she has not rested)

[matrix2021]

@xXxmissemmaxXx Ah rite, I remember watching this live and everyone in the room was like 'wtf was that?!'... So thanks for clearly that up,

[dangdat91]

it's amazing

[sarajcoleman]

uhm...what is going on with her here?

[Nofiih]

Mariah s amazing, but Celine is better! <3

[KillBabyKillfy]

@Nofiih

Oh no...please :) Mariah is one of the most talented people on the world. Dolphins hear her voice she sings the highest parts :) She's amazing :) Celine is not better, absolutely not better :)

[Nofiih]

@KillBabyKillfy Celine is the most scuccesful female ever!! I think this say everything.. And Celines have a lot of good songs.. Mariah have some good and a lots crap songs..

[KillBabyKillfy]

@Nofiih

Okey okey :) But Mariah is the most talented female ever :) She has 5 octaves, Celine has 3.5 octaves like Beyonce :) So it's not a comparison ;D I'm talkin' only about voice and talent, not about songs :) Mariah totally destroyed Celine :)

[Nofiih]

@KillBabyKillfy Haha.. Adam Lopez can also hit the 5 octave note.. Do it him to a better singer than Celine, Whitney and so on - NO!!!! Celine can control she voice as anyone else and have a very speciel and unique born voice.. She is just the best! Also therefore she is the best selling female artist ever!! Mariah is also amazing but have a more ordinary voice than Celine.

Listen to Mariah and Celines version of "O Holy Night" and learn! :D

[theovanua]

@Nofiih No, no, no, no... Madonna is actually the best 'selling female artist', hate to say it but she is. Mariah is reffered to as the 'best selling female solo artist' because she sold more than any other solo female artist in her first 10 years... Mariah's O Holy Night is more unique compared to Celine Dion's... Her's just sounds plain old plain. But that's just my opinion.

[Nofiih]

@theovanua No! Take a lock here: /watch?v=iaOaFLVW_Wc&feature=r­elated

and here: /watch?v=4PGbwYtyA7k

It would be weird if Celine singing a up-tempo version in a real church.. ;)

[theovanua]

@Nofiih Many shows have claimed Mariah is the best selling of all time. But neither of them are. It's actually Madonna... Google it.

[Nofiih]

@Nofiih and world music awards and sony says also Celine is the best selling female artist ever!

[jbawn]

@Nofiih Celine is terrible.  Mariah is a far far better singer. This not the best vid but there are other versions of this she sang in 2009 &10 that shows still very much has it

[snoopy84able]

@jbawn Yeah We all can see how GOOOOOOD Mariah is singing LIVE!! LOL At least Celine Dion can still reach high notes but Mariah CAN'T EVEN SING!!! All she does is STRUGGLING STRUGGLING AND STRUGGLING to hit a fuckin' single note! PATHETIC SINGER!

[rupatg69]

@KillBabyKillfy she has an amazing talent (5 octaves)..but she doesn't have strenght in her voice like Celine or Beyonce have...and i have to say that even Aleksandra Burke have better voice control

[poussoulefilou]

@KillBabyKillfy You know octaves doesnt' mean a thing .I reach very high notes in the sixth octace with my voice and I'm a man but I'm very bad at singing.

[powerofwinx]

This just proves to me that Mariah Carey's voice NEVER ceased to exist. Listen to her voice along with the choir; I mean her voice just stands out, no matter how low she sings or how much she strains! If God gifted her a gift, why try to take it away from her???

[FREEDOMVILLAROSA]

diputa!

[zerochris]

LOVE UUUUUUUUU U R MY HEROOOOOOOOO ITALY LOVES UUUUUUUUUUU THE BEST!!!!!!XXXXXXXXXXXX

[JudeSantana]

you can tell when shes doing it live. her face will not lie

[ValeBunny1]

In this song she doing a remake of her song of 1993 and she is very good too in this song!!!

[NishiwakiTorru]

why is she so beautiful in this video? yes she is... wow

[tanasinh]

Adoro essas apresentações da Mariah

[crispipb]

beautiful song :)

[jessica86345]

i guess she was sick when she sang this song,her voice is not powerful..

[toria5652]

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL IN THIS VIDEO!! OMG!!

[attta999]

rihanna sang this much better when she was 15

[GermanottaDavid]

@attta999 LMAAAO RIHANNA SHITSSS

[attta999]

@GermanottaDavid aw i was hoping for a crazy angry response from a mariah carey fan :(

[GermanottaDavid]

@attta999 loool seriously rihanna falls apart

[satinchic89]

Compare this to one of her live shows in the '90s where she sings the same song. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

[patataconmayonesa]

look for "angy tu cara me suena mariah carey" it's just an imitation =)

[CatrinaStarr]

Oh please, She's going through a breakdown about her first baby here. You keep talking and talking about how she look terrible with botox, dang! You dont know the whole story people so dont ever ever fucking judge.

[Nundooable]

guyaa....u;re all hell bent on comparing artists with one another...just shut it up..they're all talented..upto us to give them wat they truly deserve;)...both mariah n xtina's are talented singers...there many more celine, whitney, leona, jennifer n so many ,more....

[RanityIsOnThat]

She looked like she wanted to cry. This was after she had the miscarriage.

[iamaveryuglyboy]

the clapping sound bursts my ears!!

[fufighter1415]

she is on mis-pregnate at the moment. this is when she lost her first child but nobody know.

[lufflyness]

What is that screechy sound that starts around 3:00???

[BBQJester]

@lufflyness Her nodules. They were pretty bad during this time.

[milkyutie1]

i love mariah carey singing live

[promisuous88]

wtf was that sound???? Killing me... what happend Mariah?

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

@promisuous88 She'd just had a miscarriage.

[tarmoul1]

mariah carey is over! christina aguilera is the best singer of this generation! byebye mariah

[Raoulirshan]

@tarmoul1 wtf had christina to do with this? if you like her so much, go listen to her songs.. but don't come here and bash Mariah .. Have a nice day :)

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

@tarmoul1 Lol, no. All Christina does is growl, scream and shout.

[hannahbrandon1]

@tarmoul1 Um, try no. I found this performance to be so touching that I actually cried. She was able to sing through all of the pain, that makes her strong, and this is a strong performance.

[itsnigora]

I think she is a bit sleepy!!!

[samiijanee0987]

she actually has some really bad qualitys in her voice in this performance... not much control.... was expecting much more.

[moshimaro2]

whatever it is..i always like her voice..

[bornstar20]

umm she sounds terrible shes beautiful tho too much botox

[ikimonogakari2]

Defintiely not her best.

[NEVBB24]

Amazing!

[TheJalf21]

LOVE IT MISS MARIAH CAREY WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWW

[mx060990]

The back chorus is screaming like a dog. She sounds beautiful but those screamin in the back is awful...

[CyprusHot]

THE LEGEND IS HERE

[CyprusHot]

love u mariah x

[xsonerdylad]

well, that was not bad at all, the early parts she sang vry well, only @ a lower intensity, but i kinda doubting da bridge part, as she sounded suddenly too good to be true, bcoz there's 1 part earlier she cracked a bit whn she tried 2 go high, and i believe that note is x even as high as the bridge part, but then sddenly the bridge she sounded perfect, wic is a bit doubtful, i think its pre-recorded that part, but if its really live, then good for her, it means her vocal gtting a lot better =]

[LoboAscuridad1]

1:44 Simon is like "This isn't what it sounded like back when I bought your Music Box album, when I was like 30 years old" :) Simon is the best judge ever!!!

What does Simon even do besides judging?

2:55 and 3:12 and 3:22 whistles? I don't remember any whistles on HERO. Do you?

[UnreleasedOriginal]

@LoboAscuridad1 Simon is probably getting nervous because he manufactured Leona Lewis to be the modern-day Mariah right around this time, and the real one is right there in front of him, on live TV. Gives him a chance to measure up the "competition."

[AndreiTaiapaSmith]

@LoboAscuridad1 those whistles were from lack of rest from the voice so whenever she went to belt her whistle register went out of controll aswell .

[LoboAscuridad1]

@AndreiTaiapaSmith ok cool. I wish I could belt and whistle at the same time.

[seneijashuu]

shes just not rested.. thats all

[Scouse2011x]

She sounded fab! Considering she had just had a miscarrage! imagine how hard it must of been to sing when you know you have just lost your baby! She is the most amazing singer of all time! and i can not wait for her new album! it will be one of the best she has ever made ever! wait and see :)

[Peranneri]

Its painful to hear how bad her voice has gotten compared to what she used to sound like... She used to sing like a bird. I guess all that belting took a toll on her :(

[LoboAscuridad1]

@Peranneri I don't think it was the belting. I think it was whistle/higher falsettos that "took a toll on her".

[oana23r]

very niceee  :xxx

[TwoDeux]

Goose bumps!!! She looks like an golden angel.

[waitin4winter]

was waiting for her to belt those high notes, it never came

[jmgomez007]

Stop complaining! If you pay attention this is the best live version she's done over the last 8 years, the Obama inauguration was terrible, this is actually good :D

[pedy19]

@jmgomez007 She sang to Obamo last christmas and it was actually pretty good :p

[tdnobita]

I have a feeling that she can't reach the tones... lack of healthiness

[ILoveMcWhMj4ever]

The Greatest women singer and women legend that has ever Lived, or ever been created on any Planet.. CRT FOREVER!!!!! She sounds fantastic even with a cold.. GET IT GIRL!

[Fanthagiro81]

i love her voice...bravo..

[MrPraphaiphan]

สุดยอดมากเลยค่าๆๆๆๆ

[Xybermax]

@infinitedancer you should "quit" using mispelled or incorrect usage of words.

[TwoDeux]

2 words: THE QUEEN!

[pastcineo]

Hero: stopping people from committing suicide since 1993

[joyce31990]

@pastcineo this give me goosebumps and give me strength, I am a depression patient! And it really helps me!

[pastcineo]

the lyrics to this song are so inspiring and empowering! .... I often discriminate this song.... I don't even know why :P

[MrSiyavuya]

(HATERS YOU CAN KILL YOUR SELFS) "MARIAH IS THE BEST AND SHE GOT A STANDING OVATION FROM THE WHOLE JUDGES PANEL. SOOO DONT HATE

[infinitedancer]

what a terrible voice!!! mariah should quite fooling herself LOL

[TwoDeux]

@infinitedancer omg fuck u so much.

[HotJonasMess]

her voice isnt painful to listen to its pretty but i dont understand shes been famous for all these years she must take singing lessons but she still cant hit the notes right? and this happens in every one of her performances

[riteszka]

very very good

[uk2ie]

no one can sing this as good as Mariah!!!

[11roman110]

¨very good playback

[Kainosielu]

@11roman110 you think they would put weird whistle-voices to playback tape?

[11roman110]

@Kainosielu yeah

[pornodo]

@embryo813 Then why are you so stupid to think that humans can sustain their vocals forever? She's trying so hard to give back to her fans her best even tho its not as good as it was, i appreciated it. You apparently didnt. And you said u loved mariah? hard to believe

[lathanregintree]

@pornodo real fans or lambs do not talk about about mariah. i man u dont have to act as if ur blind to her faults but u do not have to be rude about it even if it is ur opinion -.- she has her good and bad days just like every body else and even on a bad day she is a tough act to beat vocally,LOL

[Bluezaphire2402]

the singing was perfect, but the eyebrows not so much haha

[SteviesMusicTv]

wtf happened to her voice wth is this im hearing

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

This was a bad performance, but still not terrible.

[warszawskimylfon]

perfect

[croatia93]

Mariah is the best!!!!!

[kmp3000]

29 girls can't sing this as good as Mariah on the karaoke.

[rainbowbowsergirl999]

@kmp3000 now 30, LOL

[veromariahfan]

She did great!!!!! Beautiful mimi!!!!! ♥_♥

[veromariahfan]

@embryo813 Ohhhh common!!!! you CAN'T COMPARE Mariah with Rihanna! COMMOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! YOU CAN'T!!!! Rihanna can't sing, rihanna scream . Mariah has 41, in 2008 38, sooo her voice is not the same, everybody knows that, BUT she can still sing this song veeeeeeeeeeeeery well for HER AGE!!!! PLIS!!! DON'T COMPARE RIHANNA WITH MARIAH, MARIAH HAS A GODDESS VOICE, RIHANNA NOT!

[sexygreen2010]

@veromariahfan lol rihanna is not a vocalist and never will... MARIAH CAREYS voice is a national treasure!

[TheSuperchico22]

Que increíble esta mujer.. después de todo lo que le paso ese año siguió con sus responsabilidades... única!

[MyXcs]

She is so awkward on stage now and tries to over stylize her songs.

[slotf12]

honestly i was not impressed she could have done better

[sacampbell719]

Love it!

[TwoDeux]

The end with the firework gives me omg goose bumps

[MsMCBRYAN]

Her voice is bless by god MC U always the best

[chyna9thtro001]
