She doesn't have to be sick to have a bad voice day. It just happens, guys. This song is positioned at the top of her natural voice. So there will be strain. She did good with what she had that day.
I think its really professional to know that some days your voice cooperates and some days it doesnt. She made these adjustments to the arrangment on the fly and that artistry. She knows her voice. As a musician, specifically a vocalist you gotta be able to roll with it... good for her
she doesn't need to prove anything. MC is still the BEST! what really matters most is that she's still in the business doing her thing. :) WE LOVE YA, MARIAH! :)
exactly. I don't see any thing wrong with this performance. Mariah changes up each performance just to make it special. And said to say it but Mariah's voice has definitely deteriorated but its understandable.
I was here @ this recording of BBC TV's Wogan Show in '91, chatting to her beforehand and yes, she DID have a cold. Very cleverly, she sings around the notes she couldn't hit without ruining her voice.
She must have been sick. She hits the high note, but it sounds like its wavering. So she neglects to hit the second high note. Then the third fails when she tries to hit it, and she covers it almost perfectly. Then she just abandons the high notes the rest of the song. She's damn professional here.
@Raimundo91 I didnt even know she could miss a high note! so she's human!! ok good to know 'cause I really like the alien and xmen way she push the air while whistling!
this was the time when she went promoting the song in Europe (i think it was around October 1991) but had probably a cold or a vocal drop and she couldn't hit thh whistle notes right, anyway she found a good alternative for the ending and this version is still good!
this is a very unique pro-formance cuz its so different then how she has done it the other 7000 times i love it or she cold have been having a bad vocal day
I love you so much Mariah!!!
We didn't have the whistles, but you're so versatile, improvised so well!
And you look lovely in this video!!! =)

this performance isn't her worst performance...
because she can hit the F#5 in chest and A6 in whistle....
her worst performance is "EMOTIONS Live @ TOP OF THE POPS 1992"
I Love This Performance. HOwEvEr

@TheLanard Yeah, this song is a little out of her natural range, but most of her songs in fact are.
driftingdrought 1 year ago
@TheLanard You can tell she's sick by the way she sang "Got" when she first sang "You've got my feeling emotions" in the beginning.

Elle a quand même de la voix, pour quelqu'un de supposé malade !
I think that If she was really sick, she couldn't perform as she did here.
