[22centman36]

And look she doesnt have to be accompanied with ten back up dancers. AND she doesnt have to be in her underwear like nowadays, she's just singing a good uplifting song.

[0Tala]

[SimsLover2011]

she looked so cute in this performance! 

[Dloucos1]

OMG 1:03

[MrFutureseer]

Her whistles sounded a bit off in this.

[jamesgneri]

mariah is the best... she hit 2 G#7 effortlessly...

[96523456ify]

beautiful

[jasonsjwou]

This is at the pinnacle of her career - amazing voice, performance, and damn she had hot body too! what happened?? I miss Mariah from these days

[TheBobvela]

@jasonsjwou "what happened" TV is what happened. TV is the devil... May sound funny but its true. True talent/hard working used to rises to the top. Nowdays anything put on TV is just accepted

[balttimore]

@TheBobvela not only tv but the internet :/

[akaunto2011]

i like this hairstyle the best!! gorgeous!

[aznwilly211]

i would hate to be her husband and then do something wrong that would make her scream

[vigo894]

@aznwilly211= It would be louder then the Tsar Bomba.

[Periwinkle1925]

her whistle registerrr is unbelievableee.. she's like a birdddddd.... :3

[Rubetube1st]

the highest note shes ever hit!!!

[jaypaidincash]

@anonymousxtinasinger indeed she was sick..but the note is in her range...with rest on a good day, mariah can hit that note.

[superduperfunk]

its that a G#7? OMG!!!!

[paemippo]

@superduperfunk Like

[veromariahfan]

@superduperfunk she hits two G#7 lol XD

[CyprusHot]

love u mariah so much

[AnonymousXtinaSinger]

The reason why she never hit this note again was because she was sick when she hit this one. When you sick your vocal chords swell up and air comes out

[itsaAMYNAMfan]

omg get out you alien!!! i love this bitch <333

[tete96hall]

Her Highest note G#7 baybee lol

[richzero0]

<3

[aldanahanson]

omg did u hear that note!!!! agh i want her to hit that note again

[ThePuddinPop88]

Ahhh, I wish it was the 90's,

seems like there is more freedom.

I'd have to say my style and personality adapts to the 90's or 80's.

[AJ36sXe]

@ThePuddinPop88 Probably wasn't more freedom, just far more creativity, expressionism, and individuality.

[234sx3820qi]

oh i see there are 4 people sing better than carey :)

[RanjitMorey]

lol, she's practically singing in the Ionosphere. Earth to mariah! Earth to Mariah, all our lines have been flooded with calls from other singers. Christina alone has hired five call-centers from India. They want to know how you are doing it.

[TheyDontWork]

@RanjitMorey lol!

[spiderlegs1987]

i miss this voice.

[MJThrillerOffTheWall]

when people could actually sing live...

[akoposiregalo09]

Original key!!!

[rekupp]

@akoposiregalo09 This is not the original key, this is in Bb m.

[akoposiregalo09]

@rekupp Ahhh okay... can you give a performance which she uses she original key of the song please :) thank you...

[rekupp]

@akoposiregalo09 She has never sung it live in the original key.

[akoposiregalo09]

@rekupp ahhhh now i know.. :(

[akoposiregalo09]

@rekupp Thank you :)

[LohengrinT]

@WiseMonkey888

Mariah with all this and that she is the most imitated pop singer in the history of pop music - especially her movements - singers wanna be her so badly they keep doing her hand movements

Streisand is not only singer - incredible musician she is, incredible

[LohengrinT]

@WiseMonkey888

To Barbra 1. we all owe that we loved opera, in fact when someone listens to Barbra at 13 then switches to Opera at 19, 2. In that album she sang two of themost beautiful Lieder ever composed Debussy's Beau Soir and Wolf's Vesrchwiegen Liebe. In all her megalomania I dont think Barbra herself ever truly realized how Immensely Huge her talent was - being the perfect musician pitch sentinent and all without the slightest lesson in music

[LohengrinT]

@WiseMonkey888

Mariah Carrey to Callas? cant realy find a common ground to compare

I do see a resemblance of Callas to Gaga thought - Enormous Musicianship, Extreme Intelligence (mind spinning very high both in musical and non musical matters), controversial personality, Theatrics, Phenomenal Stardom

[LohengrinT]

@WiseMonkey888

who said Callas? I write Sutherland you read Callas? :ppp

And totally seriously speaking no operatic singer has ever sung an array of stacati containing a G7 !! I know what you mean about Mariah but the voice she had in her throat ;)

[LohengrinT]

Her truly unbelievable stacato ornament at 3:54 is the exact reason why no-one sings Costanze in our days and why Sutherlad never sang it :) And she sings this UNBELIEVABLE ornament 1+ octave higher than what Mozart wrote in Ach ich liebte :)))))))))))

I truly cannot believe my ears 

[BZBlaner]

@LohengrinT 3:54 - G7 & G#7 :)

[LohengrinT]

@BZBlaner

well not to mention that not one operatic singer ever performed an ornament that contained a G7 the nature of this particular ornament going back and forth between two tones so high plus in complete head back throat placement with that speed (I have only head Callas doing a triplet like this in her Care compagni in La Sonnambula and it was 1 octave lower :))

Hallstein Robin and Sacks never ornamented up to G7 :)))))

[jeanlouis7]

check out EXPLIZIT FEAT. E-MONEY "LIFE IN THE FASTLANE"

[toamau12]

Wow...her 5 octaves in one performance!

Her G#7 not is amazing!!!!!

[rihanna7mad22]

She completely amazes me....*_* jst wow

[gordiam]

when I think abut singing I think of this song

[0800ro]

Que voz que tenes HDP!!!!! no podes llegar a esa nota tan alta!! hermosaaa

[umBRITe]

I've tried to sing this all the day..but my neighbors complain LOL..

[Cmerr14]

Anyone notice that RANDY JACKSON IS HER BASSIST?

[kelvinpyaeko]

@Cmerr14 lol..he has been with her since her debut for more than 10 years

[Cmerr14]

That perfect pitch.... I NEED IT!

[mc1ate1mad1cow]

so much fucking power.

[ritchie1475]

that cant be nick cannon dancing

[randomfatalitiesCORP]

20 years later... Still sexy!!!!

[ErdalYildizFan]

Wow! I remember that performance, it was really one of her bests! What a voice!

[FreddieGum]

woahhh.. she nailed tht G#7 note perfectly

[honeedripper]

Yes- this version was way better than the studio version, plus, she was still unspoiled and fresh during this taping. Awesome.

[honeedripper]

I remember watching this performance live, she was introduced by Arseniooooo Halllll, lol!

[4evasmokindro]

is that nick cannon dancing

[Sinnerxxs4385]

@rekupp lmao

[veromariahfan]

G#7 by the songbird supreme!!

[ilosayan]

Check out David Cole (C&C Music Factory) singing background vocals. RIP. Those were the days!

[onesan911]

I love when she waves the mic 4:12 to prove this is 100% Live!!

[LohengrinT]

She actually hits a G#7 in this - I mean this is unbelievable

The ear-holding movement is her signature movement - I really wonder how other singers keep copying that without the slightest shame

[rekupp]

@LohengrinT She is not holding her ear - there is a monitor in her ear re-playing the song as it goes. She uses it to keep in tune and pitch. lol.

[votrongnhaniloworld]

she hit g#7 at 3:53

[herr1991]

1:52 she hit a g#7 

[mariahcareybigfan1]

i dont think thats nick

[MrButler124]

she was sick here and she still kilt it!! and why would we care if nick is in the picture? sure he as 11 or watevea but now he's 30 and she 41, not that big of a diff. compared to her and tommy and other people.

[ASuperGa]

never got why they always put an @ in live performances video names.

[BabyLamb01]

@ASuperGa that means "at" :)

[ASuperGa]

@BabyLamb01 Thank you!

[DanielAvilaAGT]

Errr,Mariah was 21 here andNick Cannonwas 11

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

Seriously, which one is Nick Cannon, if you are being serious

[zodiarkpc]

@0spazzy0yazzy0 The little kid dancing..

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

@zodiarkpc oh lol she must cringe when she sees this lol

[ryantan341]

I get goosebumps every time I hear that whistle register... Everyone bow to the new Queen of The MILLENNIUM

[cjs33139]

@ryantan341 former Queen you mean. She is nothing but a two-bit hooker these days. Here, she looked, decent and respectable. I am no prude but you can't say that she looks good these days. She looks like a Danish whore sitting behind a pane of glass. She went from classy to classless.

[kelvinpyaeko]

@cjs33139 haha bitch..i have been seeing lots of comments saying negative things about MC. and i even don't believe how u would say she looked decent back then. haha you hated her, hate her now. it's just that you now find a very good excuse to hate her. haha yeah hater

[ryantan341]

@cjs33139 you have your opinions and that's cool but these are mine. I think she just had 2 change with the times. Sex sells and she had to compete with other big artist in her time - Celine, Shania etc who both have done very well. I have been a fan of hers 4 20 years I got my first CD of hers at 10 and I have bought her material since then. I'm not going to abondon her just of what she wears. To me she can dress how ever she wants to.. I will be a fan of hers for life. She has influenced many!

[vicshang]

@ryantan341 To be honest even if in 1997 she dress more sexier and showing she still manage to have huge career and compare her to Christina, look at Christina she is so overboard with the sex but since back to basic till today she don't have much phenomena success and not like huge.........Mariah is born to be a Icon and that's why even she sing a phone book is still a hit =)

[kevint6543]

apparently Mariah was very nervous during this performance because of ongoing stage fright (she didn't tour til Music Box) but this performance is GREAT and won over a lot of critics!!!! Go MIMI!!!!!!!

[funnyfacerful]

holy fuck i love this performance!!! shes always so "calm and collectied" on stage...

and i just loved seeing her LET LOOSE and make mistakes and have fun!!

[xBlAcKrAiN95x]

THATS NICK CANNON!? Dammn, how far apart is their marraige?!

[kevint6543]

@xBlAcKrAiN95x HAHAHA i guess she was just waiting all that time for him to turn 18 :)

[xBlAcKrAiN95x]

@kevint6543 i guess so! lol

[Videodude1231]

@xBlAcKrAiN95x tehir marrige is like 10 years apart

[babyinblack]

wow she sounds so great here

[danelian24]

guys watch this.. i dunno if she really hit A7 here.. /watch?v=f24yNARDrC8

[ERstat77]

am just curious is to how people think that boy is Nick Cannon, u cant even see his face that clearly!!

[akoposiregalo09]

original key?

[SymoneWilson]

I can't do the wistle note for nothing in this world :( and trust me I've tried

[1marisolmc]

Wait Isn't That Little Boy The Kid From Her Someday Music Video The One That Is Break Dancing On The Teacher's Desk.

[FoxHound109]

That last whistle was fuckin' INCREDIBLE. She sounded like she swallowed a bird. <3

[stevenlx2002]

G#7 so amazing !!

[808Arsenal]

oh man. I love how she shook the mic at the very end.  Proves to everyone that her talent was 100% live and REAL.

[Endlesslove1974]

When she hit that note G#7 it seemed really easy ... I bet that back then she could've hitted a higher note ...

[Vargo0071]

@Endlesslove1974 I bet she could've invented a note if she wanted to.

[SpankRamen2]

@Vargo0071:

LOL She probably did, but we couldn't hear it!

[SpankRamen2]

@Vargo0071:

LOL She probably did, but we couldn't hear it!

[mixedsugarQ8]

@Vargo0071 HHAHAHAH awesome!!!!! totally true!!!!!

[equals3rule333333333]

(O) -(O) thats kinda wierd mariah carey marries the little kid thats dancing...thats as wierd as when i found out a 20 year old fell in love with a baby and when the baby turned 20 and the guy was 40 they got married but then again age is just a number but it does kinda count ....like i mean i wouldnt marry a 40 year old when im 20

[BlackLightning20101]

@equals3rule333333333 Nick and Mariah aren't 20 years apart. They're 10

[MariahCareyAngel1]

3:36 3: 56 - It's so easy for her!!!

How can she be so amazing? LOL :)

[Endlesslove1974]

Doesn't it hurt when she does the whistle ...

[BubbleGumDexter23]

@Endlesslove1974 i wonder that too!

[funnyfacerful]

@Endlesslove1974 no

[BlackLightning20101]

@Endlesslove1974 No...if it did, she wouldn't be able to do it anymore...

[underworld91200]

The most powerful high notes that she never hit ! And the last one is the most powerful and my favourite, and it's seems like dolphine voice !! LooL

Love you Mariah Carey !

[joewhite31]

Definitely one of her prime. G#7 in my face.

[Daniel40501]

A voz da mariah estava no livro dos recordes como a voz mais alta do mundo

Graças a Deus existe uma cantora brasileira chamada Georgia Brown que bateu o recorde da Mariah

Por favor procurem videos dela GEORGIA BROWN

[keko1239]

@Daniel40501 Aham, bateu o recordo. Mais sem a minima qualidade voz, Whistles sem encaixe nas notas... Tom insuportavel, etc. Eu realmente prefiro a Mariah.

[losterx]

En esta presentación ella rompió un record por su rango vocal.

[david19957]

simply awesome

[jcaustintx]

*hilarious

[jcaustintx]

LMFAO @psyunicorn!!!  thats hilarioius!!!

[psyunicorn]

nick cannon's dancing!

[19941994alex]

@psyunicorn LMAO

[RollerDisc88]

@psyunicorn are you sure?

[psyunicorn]

@RollerDisc88 well no not really

[lilreg2005]

if you listen you tell she doesnt have her voice 100% and still hits every note...shows how strong she is!!!

[Glitterthesky]

wow, shes covered up! Nice voice!

[honeedripper]

I always loved this version better than the studio recording! She mixes operatic training with funkiness, ha ha!

[MrDamizza]

2:42 incrediblle (B)

[converse2412]

3:46 she sounds like a screaming guinea pig!

[johnnyamorrison]

Damn girl!

[Breniznit]

she's very off key in this performance.. not very good..

[shamelessboy2007]

@Breniznit are u deaf!!!! its awesome

[carl09052410051]

@Breniznit she has colds here

[Breniznit]

@carl09052410051 Oh ok .That's a better explanation then.. I am deaf.. LOL if i was deaf i wouldn't have noticed she was off key. Don't get me wrong she's not terrible but it's not her best performance either.

[beatmania3rdmix]

@Breniznit Compared to what and compared to who? Show me another singer that can do what she did in this performance.

[Breniznit]

@beatmania3rdmix Try therapy love your just a tiny bit angry

[beatmania3rdmix]

@Breniznit Who's angry? I am not angry. Where in my post does it appear that I'm angry or offended. No exclamation marks, no capitalization--nothing. Just because my post was stern does not mean I am angry. Stern and angry are completely different. I'm just asking you, to what or whom are you comparing this to? Every opinion should be supported by facts to legitimize it. 

[Breniznit]

@beatmania3rdmix I simply said, in comparison too her other performances,this one isn't good. It's true.If you have hearing aids i would suggest you turn them up.As far as singers go. Opera is the standard in music and yes there are alot who can make her look stupid on stage but as far as my comment goes. I suggest you read the entire story before you start going mental at people.

[merriebabe79]

@Breniznit I think it was cause she was actually sick in this video. I saw that somewhere, and it had some impact on her vocals.

[Breniznit]

@merriebabe79 Yeah, i know.Somebody told me she had a cold also.Ty for you're response.Much nicer then the crazy ones who took my comment the wrong way lol.

[pablorubiolugo]

Sara Brightman

[Ramal123]

I'm confident that little boy dancing is her future husband, Nick Cannon.

[ninawilliams023]

@Ramal123

maybe just the same age as nick.

[1s2b3s]

lol!!! that was funny!!

[booginas]

@Ramal123 LOL. Now U know you're wrong for that.

[MrDjoleen]

@Ramal123 really?...:))

[65neu]

@Ramal123 Hilarious!!!

[entwinedtonight]

@Ramal123

hahahahahahahaha ooohhh shiit

[david19957]

@Ramal123 how can u tell that

[MeowcatBissy]

Music before most of the 2000's: #FTW

[mcmDigital]

@MeowcatBissy Agreed. I am glad I was born when I was. I dont even listen to any music from 2002+.

[liveokz]

not every singer who has highest note can amuse listener like mariah carey does, in singing performence, wanna listen a good song and voice, not only highest note they could hit

[kingofoneself122]

@josuecarey gracias. no te piensas ke mariah carey es la mejor kantante? kiero decir ke ella tiene todas sus canciones en numero uno. y ella ha vendido millones de albums. Ella es perfecto.

[josuecarey]

@kingofoneself122 is true!! i like her!!

[ReneesmeNessie]

IMPRESIONANTE, no tengo palabras para este video

[eduzinhoxvre]

@ReneesmeNessie

pues mira la version 2010, busca:

EMOTIONS by Mariah Carey LIVE 2010 NEW (BEST QUALITY PICTURE AND SOUND)

MARIAH SIGUE SIENDO LA REINA DEL MUNDO, SU VOZ ES INIGUALABLE, PERFECTA INTERPRETACION, SOLO MARIAH PUEDE CANTAR SUS CANCIONES,

QUE SE JODAN LAS IMITADORAS,

PD: oigan imitadoras, NUNCA SERAN MARIAH

MARIAH IS UNIQUE

[XxSomeonePersonXX]

This Woman is a GENIUS !

The way she uses her chest voice , head voice and whistle !!

I Must admit her voice was a little hoarse and scratchy in some parts though 

[fthfllyg]

omg!! look at mariahs cradle robbin' ass with lil nick cannon dancin on stage wit her!!!

[josuecarey]

increible ella es muy buena...saben si a ella no se le hubiese dañado un nudillo ella estaria por encima de Georgia Brown...Mariah Simplemente es maravillosa DIOS la bendijo con este increible don!!!:)

[kingofoneself122]

I will say this 'Mariah's voice is a true medical wonder' She most definently has not showed us her true potential. I feel there is way more. And she has about the most sought after sound. Georgia Brown may have an incredible range. But it is way to uncontrolled. Mariah has a control over her voice like no other. And sometimes those little slips of higher pitches in her voice when she sings let us know there is more. I know it.

[josuecarey]

@kingofoneself122 of course..estoy de acuerdo!!1

[benladeenful]

i love u so much,mariah...4 me u are the greatest and the real diva in the world beside celine dion,your biggest rival.about georgia brown,although she has a highest not(G10) in the world,she hasn't a charisma like u.u are better than her,mimi.anyway,i like your G#7 live performance.it's magnificent.viva G#7!!!

[mimimariajudith]

Xtina is one of the only artists I admire and who does have a true nice voice, but on the top 1 is Mariah cause she has this little something that is everlasting...

[dreamingsleeping]

Georgia Brown may be able to go higher, but she doesn't sound very good.

Mariah sounds 100 times better.

[fowfiirah]

@dreamingsleeping agree
