needless to argue with haters! haters will always be haters and THEY HATE HER BECAUSE IT'S EITHER TOO HIGH OR TOO IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO REACH THE LEVEL OF HER SUCCESS! remember jealousy is incurable. ^_^
WOW isn't this right before her mental breakdown? There are already signs something's wrong. her voice is starting to break down, it's haywire, she's prancing on live TV close to naked... poor Mariah. but she managed to pull it through all that, look at how she glows now.
1st of all, this is not lipped as this is so so clearly live and 2nd, at that time when she performed, no one was gonna sponser clothes to her as she was already let go from virgin!
The crowd really seemed like they ere rooting for her. I love the support, they know it was also a hard tme for her. Especially whens she tranferred to hero, beautiful moment.
After I saw the performance...I am daring you to prove that this is lipped...Then after hearing your piece I will prove it to you that this is LIVE...
Wow i can't believe i made this comment over a year ago lol! oh no i totally agree with you, except for the introduction, the acapella which i thought was beautiful thats why i was wondering why she didn't perform the rest, but i think that she still suffers from stage fright
She should've worn something more appropriate for this occasion. The dress would be fine for one of her concerts or something else, but this was a benefit to honor the heroes of September 11th.
when mariah sings live she doesn't miss to thrill the audience if she can hit the notes or not. And yet even though sometimes i get dissapointed, still at the end of her performance i get satisfied and happy...she's really miraculous...
Don't be sad if MARIAH losses that great voice, she had already made her history and proved to the people that she's the only one...all you've got to do is support and love her always, anyway what is the sense of all the records and this youtube site...you could always listen and watch her here...am i right?...
I think that she sang live on the Live 8 Concert when she sang Hero, Don't Forget About Us, and Make It Happen. Now, I think that something is wrong with her voice, because on the parts where she sings, you can tell that it's hard for her. She should rest her voice for a little while.
yeah, since 2004 shes recorded 2 albums (and shes recording a third now) gone on a world tour and done lots of live performances, she should take out about 6 months and her voice will be back to at least the great 2005-2006 era. I love her anyway, and this performance was great!
I agree i wish she would sing live more often now, she doesn't need a back track, so i don't understand why she uses it, like for instance Stand Up For Cancer, the im that chick performance she sung the beginning live and it was pretty, but then she lipped most of the rest, when really everybody sung live, she is my number 1, but that really upsets me, because you are capable of doing it, and you won't, she owes more to her fans.
Hey sorry i didn't respond sooner i never received the comment, i met to put that she did well for Stand Up For Cancer, and when she did Fashion Rocks she did the introduction acapella which sounds beautiful and then she lipped the rest, i don't understand why she did that, but i think she's really trying to regain her confidence, lol i know you probably don't even remember the comment its almost been a year lol
It wasn't lipped. She even sings it in a different register than she did on the album and for some reason, different from the background singers on the chorus. You can hear it better if you have it on mp3 instead of watching the video.
Now we are talking about Im that Chick right?? probably 30% of that was live if that, i am a devoted lamb as well but i know when my diva lips, after the intro which was live, she's lips "take this seriously like pac all eyes on me" those verses was lipped only a few parts where she came in was live
Yes. What do you mean by, "where she came in was live"? The "take this seriously..." part wasn't lipped, but she did sing to a backing track. When the background singers come in at "that me for a ride..." Mariah changes registers and is singing slight slower and in her lower register. She did the same thing on Canadian Idol, but you can hear her better. Better sound system maybe?
This is when she was still singing 100% live, and though she struggled, she still sounded AMAZING! I wish she would stop depending on tracks and get back to these raw and real performances! Make the song work for whatever condition her voice is in at that point! I still love her, and this reminds me why!!!
I don't understand people berating this performance. I think that you should look at it in context of what the entire country was going through at the time... just one month after a horrible tragedy had occured that affected every individual in the US in some way or another. I loved this performance... it was soft and not overdone like some I've seen. I think it was beautiful and touching and it shows courage for her to get up there and sing after what we'd all been through...
Check out her live performance of this titled "Mariah Carey - Never Too Far_Hero @ A Home for Holiday 2002." It's completely live and vocally perfect. She shows with vocal rest she still has power behind those pipes.
actually no it wasn't an emotional breakdown :) it was physical. She was too exhausted physically due to lack of sleep and physically collapsed on her mother's couch at her mom's house :)
I know this performance is not her best, but try watching her other perfoemances of this particular song ( @NY City Hall Park) and you'll be moved to tears.

Poor Mariah. She is at times singing 3rd and 5ths lower than the original. You have to give her props for getting up and singing this song - she knows her voice is going and she is up here anyway.

yes you are absolutely 100% correct at least you come to your senses and see the actual reality darkillah08 im so impressed on how true to your thoughts and yes mariah is no longer good in singing and that's reality come angry or not...
She's really a great performer...For me, she never had any bad performance on stage...She gives her best no matter what...She still sings even if her voice doesn't want to cooperate..Only few can do that...That's what I love about her...Definitely, she still has it! Love you Mariah
this is when she was on her lyping spree. EXCEPT she couldn't do it at this event. and to tell you the truth i loved it so much more knowing that it was ALL LIVE !!! rather than having each note in tune. when she sings live its like an angel, even when its not perfect(like it use to be). she just may be the most melodious singer to ever have lived.
