  • Ohhhh!!! So damn fantastic!!!! =)

  • This Gorgeous Flawless Beast....

  • This woman called MARIAH CAREY is a legend, I swear I don't even think she's human, more like superhuman. :D

  • LOVE U MARIAH THEN AND NOW!

  • What in the HELL did this woman do to ruin this voice in just a years time??

    Her voice is still great, and was still great in 97, but there was such an extreme difference after 96 in her voice, it's ridiculous.

  • @Raanthony86 I know! Compare her 1996 tokyo tour to her 1998 and its a drastic difference.

  • @Raanthony86 Tommy Matola must have got half her voice when they divorced...

  • muito bommmm

  • Never heard someone being able hit notes, multifaceted like her! WOOOW

  • dat last falseto was perfect! makes you go to a special place for just an instant...

  • seems like the older she gets in the 90's she looks younger

  • classic mariah at her best

  • This is all live. This is bootleg, meaning they couldn't have altered or dubbed it.

  • oh yes...i had a vision of love...then it happened, then it passed...i have a vision onece again...

  • ...snd people say Christina is better, she may be good....but she will NEVER top Mariah

  • @zblamm2121 What is a Christina? Is it an alarm of some kind? rings and kills the eardrums with it's screeching sound?

  • @kandykay1992 its worse my friend much much worse

  • @zblamm2121 lool!! >:D

  • @kandykay1992 It's powa. Christina sang to save Hati because her voice caused a butterfly effect 10 years after her debut from her VOCAL POWA

    stay failing :]

  • @shaunmike Don't delude yourself that bitch aint got 4 octaves. Mariah has 5 octaves. Xtinka can kiss my ass with her flop self.

    Queenriah and 200 million >>>>>> Baby Strain barely 40 million.

  • @kandykay1992 You really don't understand the art of sarcasm.

  • @shaunmike christina cracklera, cant even sing two notes without

    to crack hahaha what are you talkin about? She was never able to

    belt like Mariah E5/G5 in cheast without any problem, she cant go

    up even to G5 in cheast and one of the most shittiest singers LOL

    "compared" to legends like mariah. most important did you listen

    really closely to her floptina yelling at superbowl or grammys?!?!?!

    i mean she isnt even mariah shit in the toilet but even rihannas LOL

    sings circles nowa days!

  • @zanoases I don't get all the Christina hatred. It's as if one must sing 438975789 octaves to be a singer. She has AMAZING stage presence and while her vocals aren't as clean and reliable as Mariah, she certainly has a powerful voice (listen to. The superbowl...okay one awful performance. Her songs are also ridiculous recorded and hard to pull off live. She has an AMAZING voice, deal

  • Comment removed

  • @zblamm2121 Christina got powa and 4 octaves. Mariah only got 3 connected. XTINA SLAYS LOL stay failing :]

    ;-)

  • @shaunmike You call G2 to G#7 three octaves? Wow.

  • @Mairahforever96 No, whistle register is not connected; it's almost like falsetto. She can sing a G2-G5 in full/mixed voice, which is what I was referring to.

  • @shaunmike ......no...Mariah has 5 CONNECTED....Xtina is a screaming idiot who tries to make make you believe she can sing by pulling up her larynx and screaming her songs out..SHE stays failing. Mariah is a QUEEN

  • @zblamm2121 Who is Christina? Never heard of it.

  • @lawlinat0r YOU NEVER...EVER WANT TO

  • @zblamm2121 Lmao

  • @zblamm2121 often imitated, never duplicated.. not to mention they're 2 completely different voices

  • She looks like princess here!

  • She is so fine.

  • I wonder if she ever realized that vision with Tommy.

  • @adrianwaj of course mariah never had that vison with tommy he is so old and dicusting she did it to be able to produce all those records which she could have without him but she got tommy because it gave her career a big boost

  • YES IN THE WORLD !!!!!!! THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

  • @repenttyourself Both performances are very similiar, but if you listen carefully you will see diferences: here @ 3:17 she says "just knowing the...,in Madison in the same part she doesn't says the word "just" (2:18 ); in NYC she says eventually @ 2:23 in a different way that in Tokyo in the same part (3:23 on Tokyo).

    Of course there's more details, but the main difference is on melisma part: in Madison (2:37) she does it longer and more continuous(and better) than she did in Tokyo(3:36).

  • So annoying that this is dubbed. I played this along side the Madison Square Garden DVD performance and in parts of it, they are dubbed both with literally the EXACT same vocal. Ugh.

  • @repenttyourself

    They aren't the exact same. There are many differences which someone else has already pointed out. Plus, if you listen to some of the undubbed ones, they sound very similar to this, in fact more similar to this than the Madison Square Garden one.

  • @crazy2hazy Yes, they are literally the exact same except for a few small places up through the bridge. And yeah, I know she could hit all of these notes live, because she did during the London and Rotterdam dates of the tour, which we have video of. That's why it annoys me, because she could have hit them perfectly fine live.

  • @repenttyourself

    I really don't know what you're hearing. There are subtle differences between this performance and the one at Madison Square Garden. You wouldn't be able to tell unless you listened very carefully, but they're not quite the same in many places.

  • @repenttyourself This concert was NOT dubbed and this was never released outside of Japan. The DVD release of Madison Square Garden is obviously dubbed for clarity purposes. Also, the key was lowered a semi-tone at the MSG concert, the raw footage clearly shows that.

  • @rekupp No... this concert actually was dubbed. Most of the dubbed vocals come straight from the MSG dubbed vocals for this song. There are a few spots where it's obvious, like in Forever and Without You, where she clearly takes a breath during the climax but the vocals don't stop. It doesn't really bother me, the raw audio & video from other concerts during the Daydream Tour show her voice didn't need to be dubbed and that she could hit those notes live.

  • @repenttyourself You realize that the Tokyo Dome concert was recorded from a tv special, encoded on a computer and then uploaded onto YouTube? There is a delay. IT IS LIVE. The MSG concert was dubbed over for sound quality purposes not because her voice was bad.

  • @rekupp Gurl, calm down. Lmao, you're really passionate about this, but it IS dubbed. It's pretty obvious in places. But ok, stay delusional. xo

  • @repenttyourself The Daydream tour was 100% live

  • @Shazni1409 I know. She sang live throughout the entire tour. This particular DVD is dubbed, though.

  • @repenttyourself There are bits and pieces that are dubbed but not fully. MSG's vocals a bit different than these performances in terms of the notes and how she performed it. I say a lot better. Besides she performed 3 times in Tokyo so they were able to pick and choose which is the best.

  • @GamerCreatorVII even if it was dubbed or lipped or woteva it's still her voice coz she wud have to sung it for them to use therefore i dont care and it's live to me

  • @GamerCreatorVII This is not dubbed. There are off-key moments in several performances (most notably the last run in whistle register in 'Emotions'). Why would they not dub over those? She has stated time and time again she is a perfectionist.

  • @rekupp yes it's dubbed... not 100% but still! there are a lot of evidences here and there

  • @MCsVoice97 Please enlighten me as to where the indicators are, if you are so sure.

  • She sung with such ease back then, She struggles to get them notes out now but she still can... sometimes they sound croaky and not as crystal clear... but she can still sing any of these new artists under the table :D Lamb4Life <3

  • Baggy pants. Boxers. Tank top. Did she really come out there dressed like a b-girl lol?! Ooh, I bet Tommy was P.I.S.S.E.D. when he saw this...

  • @BlackLightning20101 Well she was singing 'Just Be Good To Me' before this. JBGTM is a very hip hop-ish song, and - naturally - thus the outfit.

  • One thing i notice in this era 1995-1996, even the butterfly era, she really didn't do the Whistle register,with this tour she did only when performing "Emotions" but with "vision", "Anytime you need a friend", and "Dreamlover" she didn't do the whistles like she did in 1990-1993, and with the Butterfly album it was only heard WAY in the background, she really didn't start whistling agian till "Heartbreaker" came out, and then onward it was whistle all the time WHICH I LOVE!!!

  • @tertra114 She did a lot of whistling on emotions itself. Anytime you need a friend, she never really do the whistles ever, I think the belting is enough. Also she DID do the whistles on Dreamlover. also fantasy for that matter. About vision of love, I think it's the matter of song orders. That song is always performed towards the end at this eras so her voice is already tired. You can even check out her MTV unplugged at 92, it was the second to the last song. She didnt do it either xD

  • Ireina I love you!

  • From 1993 to 1996 were her golden years of going high///i mean when she sang her songs live, she added higher parts///NOW O.M.G //// watch the video of her performing HERO in i think 2008 or 2009 at X-Factor......So Sad...But still in Luv with her voice though:)

  • @Adashification i don't undestend why people say that her best time was from 1993-1996!? becouse in 1990,1991&1992 her voice was soo poweful and her whistles too !!!(her best whisltes are from 1990&1991!!!!!)

    In my opinion her best time was 1990_1996.

  • the late 90's were her best time...

  • If only Mariah still had this voice. seriously. her "image" now is really her. back then it was just tommy who suppressed her so much. but still. Image this or image that present, past, yada yada, Mariahs voice then was THE' Greatest and present, she doesn't have to prove the world anything anymore.

  • "well first of all I have no control over where-who gets this coz I can't throw"- so funny!!

  • she was so cute between 1990-1996. What a voice in her prime... i miss this mariah, what's happening after... weight, compromise herself by indecent clothes and now no voice... but she's a legend 

  • I miss this Mariah Carry!!! She had class, She was so sexy to me I had like the biggest crush on her... I miss those dayz this song...her voice gives me chills still when I hear this song!!!!!!! (Sad Face)

  • @7890628 love it!

  • This was before she hired someone to help her down the stairs lol. She is and always will be the greatest.

  • Where can I purchase a copy of her '96 Daydream concert in Tokyo?

  • Mariah's peak vocal moment was tokyo dome. 

  • @Devoted2Mariah i actually think she did better in madison square garden although it's dubbed (i think tokyo dome is dubbed too we just don't have the undubbed versions) but i think that in daydream era she added those high notes like in this song in 4:03 the F#5 replaced the E5's she used to do in the beginning of her career and the F5 in dreamlover replaced the D5 because maybe the D5 and the E5 were harder for her to hold. but i do love it when she did that because it's higher and prettier.

  • Most talented woman on earth, past, present and future

  • Do you know where i can download the tokyo performances?

  • Those beltings were so huge even Whitney wouldn't do it Marias voice is the voice it can't be compared

  • @toamau12 n whitney in her prime > mariah belting, but they are both unique and amazing but whitney is a little more amazing to me personally.

  • @shellbsd23 then go and listen to whitney :D mariah is a better vocalist in period, whitney voice like from a men

  • oh my God...what a voice..i cant get enough..so effortless...pure....he face is so angelic when she sings even though the notes are extremely hard...her high notes are very unique..

  • fearless with that voice....ppl can do all kinds of stuff in the studio but when its time to perform on stage, they sound like nails on a chalk board. others are afraid to hit those notes they had in the studio too cuz they're scared they might mess up....but Mariah!!!! =)

  • SHE killed this performance.... one of my fav mariah songs

  • i'm crying

  • how much you think the hat would sell for? i know i wouldn't sell it though lol! ;P

  • you could notice her voice changing it became so much more um mature and strong shes always had a strong voice but ive always treasured her more than Whitney because her belts are strong and yet soft you can notice at 3:01 she sings it in full ;o maybe she tried to but i feel theres a change there

  • I love her. Love her musics. I wish too shoe could sing like that, but she lost her voice.

  • I love her. Love her musics. I wish too shoe could sing like that, but she lost her voice.

  • ooh, an early mariah carey song. of course, i didnt hear this song until later on when i was a fan of her by the time "hero" came out....so soulful and probably best only by carey.

  • Classic Mariah. This sounds absolutely effortless. Wish she could still sing that well.

  • queen !!

  • her voice is as good as her outfit is bad. I love you Mariah, my diva.

  • she is a legend and even she will leave the world someday, i pray not..her music will live in our hearts ...the greatest singer of all time...more power to you Mimi

  • so beautiful... my god.

  • its such a sweet voice. its like candy really!!!

  • I guess to clarify a little more on my earlier post...she sounds great and very powerful here. But that huskiness and deepness in her voice isn't as prominent as in the first couple years of her career, though her belts are more powerful here but not as rich and husky. Listen to this and then a performance from 1990 or '91. So it's kind of like that tone was wearing away slowly and then like the next year after this she sounded kind of hoarse, and it's gotten worse each year after.

  • @sanders8323 you should really stop over analyzing and just enjoy =)

  • she sing it effortlessly!!!!!!!!

  • mariah's singing was her best here because she really used her voice here, but she has always able to hit G5's, in her career not just here.

  • F*cking AMAZING voice!

  • effortless notes!

  • What baffles me is that maybe a year or less after this, around the Butterfly era, she didn't sound near as good as she does here. Something really must have damaged her voice because that's not natural. But even here, though she sounds amazing, she lost some of that husky tone and power in her belting that she started out with in the early 90s. It's almost like her voice was thinning away very slowly then all of a sudden it was nearly gone.

  • You are SO right! Something happened to her voice from here to the Butterfly era and I wish ...maybe all that whispering and trying to be too technical

  • @sanders8323

    She lost nothing from the early 90's to the mid 90's. She actually gained a lot more skill and control that she didn't have at the beginning. Did you ever see her belt out G5's or G#5's in the first 2 years of her career? No. Most of them are from this period.

  • @crazy2hazy

    she also belt A5! :D mariah's highest note at the beggining is F#5! :)

  • @crazy2hazy most of the G5's and G#5's are from the first album until music box.

    she didn't hit a G5 or G#5 in daydream album.

  • @iiAmitx3

    I was talking about her live notes. She didn't do any chest notes above F#5 until 93.

  • @sanders8323 how can you say "all of a sudden it was nearly gone"??? have you heard her in her 2010 tour??? she has a pretty decent amount of power still, and actually still has ALL HER RANGE she used in the 90's..however she cant effortlessly hit notes these days, it takes her a LOOOT of rest.

  • Comment removed

  • any singer who would try to mimic or emulate the unusual sound of her belts will have a hard time...even her belts this time around has a different sound

  • WhaT's the Talent!!!!!!!

    3:37-3:47

  • *rubs hands together* I KNEW this was going to be gooooooood! A legend and a beauty!

  • Sure !!

    She's the best !!!

    <3'

  • No one can ever replace Mariah Carey. She is the best singer in the world &always will be. :)

  • Agree. No one has been able to replicate her sound, especially in her belts. All her F5s and G5s has a rare tonal quality, which is totally unmatched. Her voice is like a butterfly, the most amazing voice among all humans, but very fragile. Love this woman and admire her as artist.

  • SO so true. The tone and quality is crazy.

  • @mcdamian17 the only singer that sounds like Mariah is the one from her girlgroup Allure she created in 1997.

  • @mcdamian17 Exactly, lots of singers can belt F5 or G5, but no one can imitate her perfect tone quality in those notes. It's like a machine singing those notes, the notes are so damn PERFECT and POWERFUL.

  • @mcdamian17 more like and angel

  • Yes, she can sing damn good just not so bright.

    She up there with and pass Elvis and the beetles-- hey that say's alot.

  • pretty nicee

  • Her voice is good now again, not as good as it used to... but... she´s a LEGEND people.

  • she developed vocal nodules thats why her voice became hoarse and scratchy..and thats why she lost her prowess..but still she is great..

  • no she has had vocal nodules her whole life scince she was a little girl they just didnt take effect till late 96 97

  • What? The Daydream album was amazing vocally. And this performance is from the Daydream era. It's after this era her voice began to fade.

  • christina? nothing special in her voice.

  • atleast she still has a strong voice - damn good vocalist for such a small girl - weird style, tho.

  • @TheMailgirlsandiego: Actually mariah admitted that she smoked for 6 years prior to became famous she quit because it started ruining her voice.

  • this girl was bad!

    i love mimi!!!!

  • retarded!

  • @bconsitt completely right on that. She use to have the clearest belts ever, like no other :)

  • and her prettiest!

  • I LOVE her! ♥

  • I adore when she makes a head sign to the band...

    love mimi

  • GO MARIAH !!!

    WE LOOOBE YA~~~

  • Mariah was very good vocally during the Daydream Tour, but I also think she was great vocally on the Music Box and Butterfly and Charmbracelet Tours. In order, from greatest vocally to worst vocally, I would have to say...

    1. Daydream Tour

    2. Butterfly Tour

    3. Charbracelet Tour

    4. Music Box Tour

    5. Rainbow Tour

    6. Adventures of Mimi Tour

  • for me, the rainbow tour was the worst. She sounded VERY tired and the damage was already pretty evident. I watched a VOL performance on that tour and there were absolutely no high notes. Not one note above C5 I believe. She riffed her way out of it.

  • I dont know why people put thumbs down to people who speaks the truth.

  • And I think the MIMI tour was sorta better than the Music Box tour vocally, I know it sounds wierd but it was her first tour and she obviously had no experience and she didn't know what to do with the songs. But also, and most importantly, she dodged very important high notes.

  • just listen to the audioclips of the music box tour, the second performance in worcester she recalls as one of her best ever, listen to the emotions take of it, she whistles every critic away

  • I've listened to some clips of her performances in Worcester and there're not as good or as memorable as those in any of her other tours. Her voice may have been in the best condition, but she didn't sound like she could handle a tour at that time.

  • Definitely the at her best in daydream tour

  • OH MY GOD, SO BEAUTIFUL OUR MIMI! i am having goosebumps!

  • ah, what beauty and grace in song!

    ...and i like her style of clothing too :P

  • Not only was she at her peak vocally, but creatively as well. Her runs and licks were so unique as far as how they played with the songs chord structure here

  • I agree with you so~~~much!

  • Like many have said before and I agree that she was at her vocal peak here and no other artist could even begin to get close to her vocally . Hey, even today she's amazing!

  • whitney and mariah ect . should not even be but in comparison to each other...WTF they are all great why does everything have to be compared or a competition? Why can't they all be great as they are any way whether you lames think so or not

  • Um evenhough they want to be compare now they also can't cause their voice is so awfull now and Celine still kept her Golden voice very well..............So Celine rule.........

  • She was at the peak of her vocal abilities in 1996. And she was really humble back then. She's more of a spoiled diva now, unfortunately. I feel so nostalgic! NOONE could fuck with her vocal abilities back in 1996.

  • yeah she'd fuck whitney and celine in their ass:d

  • Wow, the ability that she had during this concert series to go through all of her range without sounding strained at all was incredible.

  • I agree....so amazing!

  • mariahs the best, HATE ON IT BITCHES.

  • was

  • the best vision of love I have heard!!

  • i REALLY REALLY love this performance, shes great, as a songwriter and a singer and a person :) so leave her alone, seeing as you obviously like hating on people with talent unlike urself

  • mariah did get a breast job, dont be an idiot.

  • No. I actually like this one song of hers so I'll come back now and again.

    Being talentless isn't a reason to dislike Mariah, I was just making the point that she gets all her songs and music written for her.

    But she can sing. She just over-eggs the pudding sometimes.

    Most of the time, actually.

    I'm sure she's probably a very nice person.

    Probably.

  • Talentless?hahaha and you have to say that on one of the most amazing live performance of Mariah........Seriously she is pure talent.

  • I'm sorry but singing is also a talent.............And SHE WRITTES all her songs, WTF with the songwritters.You know nothing on Mariah!

    And you don' tknow if she played an instrument.....

    So for you singing is nothing?But writting is everything?

  • Singing is not nothing, but it's not everything either.

    She writes all her songs?

    Of course she does. No help whatsoever.

    Don't forget the acting as well. She won an award for her acting performance in Glitter. I'll give you a bonus point if you can tell me what award it won.

    Go on now, off to Google...

  • Sometimes she co-wrottes, but miost of the time she writtes her stuff by herself!

    And she sing like a godess!

    So yeah she is undoubtly talented!

    Seriously who the fuck are you LMAO!

  • you dont understand her writing process. The lyrics are written by her. The melodies USUALLY are NOT. That is where you made your mistake.

  • It's so sad that you're so fuckin old nickbald and you're STILL so miserable. Where is your life even going? Get ready for your mid life crisis to hit hard, if you're smart enough to self-analyze.
