Mariah is still one of the prettiest women around, but the way she looked back then, I don't think there's ever been a better looking female to have ever walked this earth. I was just a kid when she first hit the scene, but I remember my jaw ACTUALLY dropping when I first saw her.
This was amazing. But I'm just gonna say that it would have sounded a million times better without Arsenio's "posse" or whatever the backup singers were called.
@kitchentakeout beyonce is an awesome singer. she's no match for whitney or mariah but she does give xtina, chante, and celine(who isn't as good as bey imo) some comptetition
@zanoases i'm trying to say that Adele is following the same formula as Mariah Carey did, and she had mainstream success. FYI I am a Mariah Carey fan >:p
Yeah Mariah ... You don't need eccentric performances to draw attention, simply because you, unlike many artists that are successful today,have TALENT!!! =)
I'll always remember this performance, 'cause our choir director in school taped it and brought it in the next day for us to see. She was very into the fact that Mariah had male backup singers in this perf.
@beejereeno how come? was it rare for male back up singers at the time? it is interesting because later in her career, she would always use women back up singers apart from her trey lorenz
@CyprusHot I just said she was into it... I don't know for sure if it was, maybe not rare, just not as popular or common to have male backups that were doing more feminine vocals or higher vocals I guess
Thank you for posting... Im so happy to have been blessed with great music from Mariah for the past 20+ years... Hopefully her next album gets better promotion... I'll always remember how when she used to come out with an album she'd be eeeeverywhere WE LAMBS HAVE TO GET HER BACK TO #1
@rellenoz: Yes ! LOL ! "back in the day!" back in the last century..Now it is CD or downloads.. Now that was the Tuesday 15th May 1990..Now it is Sunday 15th May 2011..How time has gone so fast !! I was a fan of Mariah Carey since her very first album..Her early songs were so powerful and moving..
Amazing! old-school is the best!

It's easy to see why some fans are disappointed with 'modern' Mariah after hearing this. The standard of her performances have dropped.

She is wearing a black dress, and the performance is fairly simple. Now, think of Adele and her performances.
