  • I've seen this video so many times and it still gives me chills how gorgeously this was sung..and that 3 octave leap with the F's at the end; that was just stunning.

  • Lol, the pianist must've been like, "oh dang, I don't have that note on these keys".

  • I love how she sang with sort of a gospel sound! Go Girl!!

  • I saw a video the other day where Mariah commented on this performance

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow!

  • sang*

  • i don't get why she sand america the beautiful instead of the national anthem...

  • oh no your ears arent playing tricks on you honey!

    coz thats mariah right there ;)

    MARIAH CAREY! <3

  • That was beautiful! I LOVED IT! Mariah is truly the queen!

  • beautiful! mariah is the queen!

  • this is as great as whitney houston did on national anthem i think they should keep those two and replay them at any event because nobody else did a better jobs on the songs than these two

  • I'm so sorry Whitney fans but this woman..... this woman............. she could sing. If i were present here I would have probably cried especially because back then something like this was rarely heard. wow!

  • @colombiacrack88 totally agree!! and that national anthem on the super bowl that whitney did does not raise goosebumps like this. beside she was off pitch (whitney) on some notes.

  • @awhallowmyth099 omg thanks for agreeing! I seriosuly do not know why people consider Whitney's rendition one of the best... she just screamed the ending and was off pitch.  However there are critics who consider Mariah's one of the best if not the best.

  • @awhallowmyth099 @colombiacrack88 lmao you did NOT just say that! whitney's national anthem was on point! what is it with mc fans? i agree that mariah's the best but that doesn't mean everyone else sucks.. take a seat, children

  • @im18dammit100 please!! i looove me some whitney, but that performance of the National Anthem is WAAAY overrated. Beyonce's raised goosebumps, this performance raised goosebumps. Whitney's performance was not that good. Believe me, Whitney raised some goosebumps with performances of I Will Always Love You, but the national Anthem performance...... blah. not that good. I'm not saying that whitney sucks, I'm just saying that her that THAT performance in particular is not THAT good.

  • @awhallowmyth099 if you really think beyonce's national anthem was better than whitney's, you are BEYOND HELP!! whitney's anthem gave everybody chills! people still go crazy over that performance even 20 years later. beyonce's anthem was excellent but whitney's was LEGENDARY

  • @im18dammit100 it didn't give ME chills so you can't say everybody. I'm not beyond help. it's just my opinion. all i mean is that technically i've never seen the "legendary-ness" of whitney's performance. however its also very important for me to admit that i'm not american so maybe that has something to do with how i percieve the performance.

  • @awhallowmyth099 technique has nothing to do with it it's the emotion she conveyed when she sang the song. i don't think it has anything to do with whether or not you're american. i'm american and i'm normally indifferent to hearing the national anthem unless someone like mariah or whitney sings it.

  • @im18dammit100 totally agree! im not american but whitney's performance is beyond any technical matter, just amazing, the whole stadium was standing up and screaming in the end.

    i also love this performance from mariah, she's perfection!

  • @beblack22 thank you! that person i responded to obviously has no idea what he's talking about :|

  • i saw a bio tv special & they called this performance "the performance that made her a worldwide phenomenon" since this was the very first performance that proved to everyone around the world that that voice & range is is real ....

  • I miss the old mariah where she could actually sing live.

  • The introduction here was :"Welcome Columbia recording artist Mariah Carey"

    NOW its: "Please welcome the #1 selling Female artist of ALL TIME" :D Luv u Mariah

  • @kirkfortune My sentiments exactly! Immediately the thing that pops into my mind as I heard her intro. So long a journey, but so much accomplished! Love Mariah!

  • @donutstreet yh!! Just thinking about it makes me wanna cry! Im soooo Proud to be a lamb!

  • CHECK OUT RAY CHARLES SINGING AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL-BEST VERSION EVER

  • One of many other performances that led to the the eventual downfall of crackney. Queen Mariah forever.

  • just look at her. amazing. THIS is waay before she was " the Mariah Carey" . Girl just walks on to the stage and blows everyone away just with her voice and talent. I really respect her for the fact that she didn't have famous parents, nor did she have famous cousins , sisters, brothers or anyone for that matter. Just her voice. and look where she is today.

    

  • CHILLS!

  • LMAOOO at 1:54 the guys are like "the fuck!? how...how is she...singing like that?!!?" LMAOOO

  • WOW!

  • Haha look at these guys. First they're like yeah she's a nice singer, what's on tv today by the way? And then at 1:44 they're all like WTH? That girl is freaking amazing!

  • i really want this video to have 20 million views

  • @CyprusHot why 20 million? lol

  • @iiAmitx3 first number that came to my head hehe :)

  • @CyprusHot i wish there was youtube when mariah came out, to show gaga and bieber who is the boss...

  • @iiAmitx3 exactly... imagine mariah got famous before the age of youtube....

  • @iiAmitx3 actually because there was no youtube back in mariah's day, she sold more records, had more hits and more demand than gaga or bieber will EVER have in their entire career.

  • @DanKanzas it's better having this than youtube views lol!

  • @iiAmitx3 yeahh, cause Mariah's records and attention-span was from a much older and maturer crowd, so it also means her success was from something real and not popularity. its like people think that just because Mariah makes records to stay current that she is like the rest of the singers that people can't take seriously :L

  • @DanKanzas that's the difference between REAL music and "trendy music"

  • @iiAmitx3 agreed. i feel liberated that i was brought up with music like this opposed to all this teenybopper gaga garbage. apparently it doesn't seem to matter how much talent you have these days, its just how hard you work.

  • @DanKanzas and how you look... although looks might have helped mariah get signed. and i know the story about tommy listening to her in the limo and being shocked by the voice but he did see her before in a party and she had a great body and a beautiful face.

  • "The palace now has a queen and the goosebumps will continue!" - the epitome of Mariah!!!

  • This is the 1st time America saw Mariah. A legend was born on this day, and those people should be bless to be the 1st to see such a Queen.

  • haha look at the audience's reven the players reactions when mariah went from high notes to whistle register!!! they r blown away 100%

  • haha look at the audience's reactions when mariah went from high notes to whistle register!!! they r blown away 100%

  • I LOVE THE PLAYERS' REACTIONS AS SHE ENDED THE SONG. THE LOOK OF INCREDULITY SPLAYED ALL OVER THEIR FACES. THIS IS: THE MARIAH CAREY YO. IT USED TO BE "COLUMBIA RECORDING ARTISTE" BUT NOW IT'S "MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE ARTISTE" OR "BEST-SELLING FEMALE ARTISTE OF ALL TIME". DEAR GEESE I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH.

  • She makes me proud of being American.

  • The palace now has a Queen

  • mariah was brilliant. what a good high she must've gave them guys for the confidence they needed for their game.

  • SING MARIAH! YOU BETTA SING GIRL!

  • The little run from :50 - :60 seconds where she sings "... the fruited plains..." THAT is Mariah. The tone, the power, and clarity just the beautiful sound of her voice in that moment. When us fans argue about her voice being gone it's that voice we're miss from her. Honestly she didn't do that live often.

  • @65neu I agree. The vibrato on "plains...." was simply pure and magical.

  • I'm not even a Mariah fan and this performance gives me chills :)

  • This was a defining moment for Mariah. This was like Mariah's big performance that people remembered just like Whitney's big Super Bowl performance.

  • Every time I see this video I always wonder if those guys at the end are saying "Damn that girl can sing!" or if they're just talking about basketball things... I'll never know. Dammit!

  • @Loveim4 Oh no they were definitely talking about Mariah. You would have to be without a pulse if you were in that stadium and were not moved by that amazing talent. "The palace now has a Queen, and the goosebumps will continue!" Such a prophetic statment of the years to come with this beautiful voice.

  • MARIAH IS THE BEST. END OF.

  • Congratulations Mariah! More number  1 albums and more number 1 singles for you!!!!!!

  • wow mariah really has come a long way. compare her voice and looks then to now.

  • "The palace now has a queen; and the goosebumps will continue"

    DAMN RIGHT! ALL HAIL MARIAH !

  • @pleaseSTFUnow HAHA right

  • I realize that the mic has wire lol. Just like karaoke but, she made it live!!! LOL!!!!

  • Clearly the Voice Of An Angel... The goosebumps will definitely continue for years to come :)

  • A diva is born. Incomparable, anyone who compares this voice to anyone else's is effin HIGH.

  • Whitney is played out but yet her last album sold 4 million world wide and Mariah is at 1 million and her last album will flop also but yet Whitney is the one done.... Ok :)----

  • amazing but i prefer whitney version

  • The palace has a queen, and her name is Queen Mariah!!! The only woman to dominate before she had even gained major notoriety!!

  • SING MARIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • take that beyonce and shove yo ass!!!

  • she's so blessed, she got both, perfect looks and perfect voice!♥

  • SOME PLAYERS WANTS TO MARRY MARIAH!!!!

  • MARIAH THE BEAUTIFUL

  • THE PALACE NOW HAS A QUEEN...SHE'S A GODDESS

  • Is that a E6 ?

  • the purity and quality of her voice here...how she controls it..ITS AMAZING

  • Whitney kills Mariah vocals here. This was weak only the last high note was nice.

  • @AAS248441 Whitney's version was prercorded! This was live! Plus I bet you a million dollars that Mariah singing that high note would win a battle with Whitney! Just that high note would kill the competition.

  • @Marvinglz

    If your talkin about the national Anthem WHitney has done a live version before, Do not compare these 2 singers!

  • @AAS248441 This was her first live televised performance dumbass. Mariah will vocally MURDER Whitney

  • @AAS248441 Whitney played out now! She is done

  • @aero398 Legends don't get played out fool.

  • @ThePharaoho WHITNEY IS DONE. A legend but she killed her own career fool. Mariah on the other hand is A GOD. In my opinion she is the best and has not killed her own career like WHITNEY

  • @aero398 Mariah ain't no damn god, she is human just like everybody else with an extraordinary voice. Stop worshipping a human son. Whitney's career isn't dead, she even outsold Mariah. If Whitney's career is dead then so is Mariah's according to your logic. They both are legends and legends never die. Learn the term dude.

  • @ThePharaoho Dude I'm joking calm down damn lol

  • @aero398 right...lol

  • @Of course Whitney is a legend

  • LOL..those guys at 1:54

  • EPICCCCC

  • On her very first televised performance one of the greatest vocal performances by any artist ever. This performance is truly legendary.

  • The crowd did not know what they were in for!! She completely stunned! One of her greatest Diva moments.

  • Los pelos de punta con Mariah en esta canción

  • GREAT GREAT GREAT

  • Chills....She sings this best and Whitney sings The Star Spangled Banner the best....

    The Palace Now has a queen....if they only knew!

  • Damn!! Who would have thought that she's going to break and set records months after this,..

  • No me canso de ver este video; que hermosa canciòn

  • i am speechless...that WAS ASTONISHING GREAT!

  • Wow mariah your the best

  • imagine guys, this is her first time on TV!!!!!! Waouuuuaaauuu!!! 1er télévision, une voix exeptionnelle, the hight note it's amazing!!!!

  • Stunning. <3

  • "The Palace now has a Queen"!

  • Why do people keep comparing whitney's version to mariah's they are two totally different version, both of them made it there own, we can't say one was better than the other its based off of personal opinion, but if we are gonna bash mariah thats realize that one this was one of her first public appearances and it was live, and whitney's was a recorded version, so of course u have time to perfect it.

  • itty bitty body and a big power voice wow

  • @applmac2009

    shut up!!!

    

  • @applmac2009

    shut up !

  • I watch this every Independence Day

    TOTALLY AWESOME

  • "The Palace now has a Queen." Love IT!

  • i thought it was great but ikept hearing that her rendition of it was better than Whitney's and me being a singer myself i beg 2 differ 2 each his own but whitney still is QUEEN to me!

  • @YungJRoc203 listen to her 2006 (its from July 4th in NYC) version.. Whitney's SSB version is the most patriotic rendition.. in my opinion..

  • awww... she was only 19 here. this was way before Vision Of Love was released on radio... she was UNKNOWN here and at that time. she was about to be 20 very soon

  • @DanielAvilaAGT Mariah became famous at the age of 21, not 19. Maybe you're confusing her with Whitney?

  • @ThePharaoho Mariah is born 1970 in March 27th. So when her debut album was released it was in June of 1990. Mariah had recently turned 20.. Mariah was signed with Columbia in late 1988. Mariah became famous when she was 20. She is now 40. (since 3 months ago)

  • @DanielAvilaAGT So it was 20 and not 21 nor 19. Thanks!

  • That whistle note got their attention alright  haha

    Beautiful finish MC :)

  • @fallingfirenze *sigh* that big note before the whistle was amazing, then the transition into the whistle note was amazing... say what you want it was amazing - smfh

  • Sing it girl!!!! She had so much soul in her voice during this performance! Plain and simple, she is the INCOMPARABLE Mariah Carey!!

  • @capcomfighter13

    Truly.

  • she wants to be famous asap here... lol... i luv her...

  • 1:38... it's like that man is thinking "who is that singer?" and 1:47 people just responds amazing...well done mariah

  • Mariah, Whitney, and Celine are the greatest singers in history: tone, range, power, stamina. We will never see the likes of them again. They are legends. Mariah and Whitney were stunningly beautiful as well.

  • @ThePharaoho Celine was beautiful too xD

  • @LoboAscuridad You're right. Celine was also beautiful. They just don't make them like this anymore. I wonder what happened? Did God say, "Whoo, Whitney, Mariah, and Celine took up too much of my power or energy, so now I'm just gonna make mediocre talents with marginal beauty?" This is a bye gone era of unbelievable, strong, and soaring voices with beautiful tones. Noone will ever be able to replace them.

  • @ThePharaoho HAHA well, people are saying Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, and Beyonce are the new Mariah, Whitney Celine.

    Mariah = Leona

    Whitney = Beyonce

    Celine = Xtina

    Do you think this is true? lol

  • @LoboAscuridad Well people need to shut their damn mouths then, because that's a LIE:

    Mariah=Leona Yeah right! Leona doesn't even have nearly the range Mariah has plus she can't sing in whistle register and can't go as low.

    Celine=Xtina Um no, Xtina is great but she oversings on everything, Xtina's has more power, but Celine more stamina

    Whitney=Beyonce That's a joke right? Beyonce has messy runs and vibrato all over the place. Whitney had power, clarity, and undisputed vocal control.

  • @ThePharaoho HAHA I know.. Leona is a great singer but she can't whistle. I don't think beyonce is as horrible as you say she is... And Xtina she has power and has the ability to get to the whistle register..maybe more compared to Mariah IDK...

  • @LoboAscuridad Cristina doesn't have a real Whistle Register. She has a very super high falsetto and with that technique she is able to reach up to a G6 or A6. But she hasn't been persistence with high notes and the low resonance Mariah produces with her low notes. not taking anything away from Cristina.

  • @LoboAscuridad Hiw can Cristina be the new? she has been out since 1998 and Beyonce since 1997. Leona would be the new one. she has been in the bizz for about 3 years.

  • @DanielAvilaAGT Xtina's whistle is not fake! And IDK about who is the next Mariah, Whitney, or Celine.... but we can agree no one can replace them

  • @LoboAscuridad

    No

    Kelly can be Celine, Christina is not good enough

  • @WhitneyElizabethH Bullshit!!! Christina would ran circles around Kelly!!!!!!! Please!!

  • @senyah777

    LOL Oh yeh she would beat Kelly alright, In a screaming contest,

  • @WhitneyElizabethH LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @WhitneyElizabethH lol maybe. 

  • @ThePharaoho Have you heard Charice sing? She'll give you goose bumps!

  • @kimmila2000 Charice is fantastic, but she still has a ways to go to get to these divas level. Charice is a powerful singer with great stage presence, however, she lacks the ranges of Mariah, Whitney and Celine. The higher ranges I mean, plus they have better tone quality. These 3 are special because they combine extremely powerful vocals with extremely high ranges, they can go from a beautiful soft whisper to a powerful loud roar in seconds.

  • @ThePharaoho My thoughts exactly!

  • @ThePharaoho amen to that!!!!

  • @ThePharaoho "Mariah and Whitney were stunningly beautiful as well" and celine? lmfao!! But you forgot to mention the queens before them.. Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross or what about Minnie Ripperton? Surely you cant forget Patti Le Belle, she could outsing Mariah even in her prime.. with every generation comes a new voice. This next generations "voice" (unless she sells out) will undoubtibly be Leona Lewis who has been refered to as "the new mariah" From the UK but loved in US watch out MC!

  • @michael4546 Yes yes yes.... I DEFINITELY AGREE!!! These singers you mentioned are all my favorites, but since Whitney and Celine were the same school trinity with her I included them. But yeah, nobody is better than Aretha, Diana, Minnie, and Patti now. Come on, they are the old legends. They are the blueprint for all singers. I agree about Leona, love her! I also love Christina too. And yes, Celine was also stunningly beautiful as well. Don't know why in the world I left her out. "American?"

  • @ThePharaoho jeez they haven;t DIED yet. relax

  • @R00G00 LOL No they're not dead yet, but there era is. The era of great power house singers with beauty to match is over. They are still here of course and are legends, but this new generation of singers really makes me appreciate these singers all the much more.

  • @ThePharaoho and dont forget Toni Braxton

  • Queen Mariah. 1:30!

  • 1:43 ABSOFUCKINGUTELY STUNNING!

  • woah all that soul in the being of it 0:00- 0:55

  • yea that high note was a surprise cuz she was singing kinda deep for the rest of it....oh where has talent like this gone? :( LUV MARIAH!!

  • I have always loved Mariah's voice and strictly speaking,I love the 90's Mariah.She had such a beautiful voice.

  • Wow! She used to be so sophisticated. The "Song bird Supreme!"

  • what ever happened to this voice??? she was unbelievable!!!

  • @cupidh21 Oversinging, shouting, and over working simply deteriorated her voice, the same as with Whitney. But Mariah still can sing her a** off when rested.

  • @ThePharaoho please tell me how she cant sing this way well i know there is no way she can sing like she use to

  • @aero398 She just can't. I don't mean to be rude, but her voice has deteriorated. She has overworked it. This is common for coloratura sopranos. They can sing high and powerful over large orchestras and the like, but they have to rest and take care of their voices or it will deteriorate. It deteriorates slightly anyway over decades,but it deteriorates rapidly when overworked. Mariah should tour but take breaks in between. She's been working herself like a race horse.

  • @ThePharaoho how much did it dereriorated it cant be that much since she still hits the whistle

  • @aero398 I'm talking about her chest voice.

  • @ThePharaoho well i think emotions album shows her chest voice the best

  • @ThePharaoho Mariah is a light lyrics soprano. i know it sounds like she is colortura, but she is a true light lyric soprano. she only has the range of a colortura. and her voice is like everyone else's when they get older. it's not deteriorating or she's not losing it. it's just called getting older. i don't mean to be rude. butof course she can't sing like she used to, heck we all can't sing like we used to it's a fact of life. have a nice day

  • THIS PERFORMANCE IS SOOOO AMAZING!!! u can tell that everyone got amazed too..

  • She was very nervous - but she showed off her phenomenal talent!

  • I wish Mariah would use more of her lower register. Now it seems like she just whispers her way through most of her songs.

  • @Buzz0Killington cuz she can't do it anymore
