  • Is and always will be a true DIVA :)

  • Mariah Carey is just perfection !!!! from way back then to right now she is still the best vocalist in the world, there is never EVER going to be another Mariah Carey ever again !!!!

  • Perfection.

  • 3:54 - 4:20 Unbelievable final!!

    In my opinion, this song is one of the best of her first album!!

  • I Want to meet her (LLL)

  • OMG Is that Randy Jackson in the back at 3:24??? 

  • @MimisMan85 hahah yes, ive realized hes been with her for like ever.

  • The back-up singer was feelin' it all the way through the concert. I've noticed him in all of them so far.

    Not surprised though, he's in the prescence of greatness.

  • this song came out when i was 12yrs old. a dear family friends daughter was killed in a car accident at the age of 15yrs old... her mother and her helped us escape a physically abusive stepfather...(im crying) it takes me to that time of my life. i dedicate this song to her with all the love i have in me. thank you for helping a mother and child in need, when they needed help, compassion, a shoulder to cry on and the love. you are an angel. xoxo to you racheal

  • the beauty of this performance is hard to translate in words. 4:10- 4:11 leads you to another place in time.huge vocals miss Carey

  • It's unfortunate that Mariah can no longer sing like this. I guess age does that and she's used her voice so much over the years. This is an absolutely phenomenal performance!! out of this world. She was like a female version of Stevie Wonder!! She looks so gorgeous in this clip - more natural. Love her big curly hair! She seemed so much more down to earth when she first started out and more focused on her music rather than her physical appearance

  • even her back up singers were so amazed with her!!!!

  • love you mariah

  • Heres my opinion:

    Female with the most vocal talent and best songs: Mariah Carey

    Male with most vocal talent and songs: Michael Jackson

  • I think the same things

    Mariah and Michael are the best <3<3<3<3

  • @notanaverageteenager Michael Jackson is the Greatest ENTERTAINER of all time but vocally he just isn't the greatest male SINGER of all time someone like Sinatra or Vandross deserves that title.

  • @200918JR IMO it's stevie wonder...

  • @spicefan18 Ok But not Mike rite?

  • @200918JR  you're right.. :D

  • @notanaverageteenager No Michael Jackson doesn't have the most vocal talent of male singers! He's just the best entertainer ever, which is not based on vocals. Singers like Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder might have most vocal talent but not Michael Jackson.

  • @200918JR yeah!! Luther Vandross is my favorite male singer, and Mariah is (even though now she has no voice) my favorite female singer.

  • @furacarles1 No voice? are you on crack?

  • @notanaverageteenager

    Luther Vandross could crush Michael singing. MJ could put on a better show but MJ could not touch Luther in a singing contest.

  • @notanaverageteenager TOTALLY AGREE!!! NICEST COMMENT!

  • @notanaverageteenager I completely agree with you on Mariah Carey, but on Michael, yes, as the male with the best songs, he wins be a landslide; however, I believe Luther Vandross has the most vocal talent. Look him up! Now, I'm not knocking your opinion, because that would be childish and stupid. I'm just stating mine. :D

  • She is insanely gorgeous right here. She defines what it means to be beautiful and her voice is completely on point.

  • Mariah Carey is the Best Female singer of all times !!

  • There will never be another voice like this..simply magical, and imcomparible..

    she was untouchable at this stage in her career.. my god such a big voice from a tiny little person.. i wonder if she realizes what god given ability she really has.. i have never heard such perfection from any other singer in my lifetime..

  • This young Mariah was pure magic , wonderful !

  • in pure chest voice

  • is it me or she just hit Bb5 at 3:21

  • its just you, its much lower

  • @joewhite31 it is an F#5

  • That is my absolutely Favorite mariah Song :-) !!!

  • I like the lisa lavie version.

  • get outta here then

  • Who is Lisa Lavie?! Get the fuck outta herr, this is the real woman, not some fake ass knockoff!

  • I noticed that YouTubers are comparing Mariah with Leona Lewis. Leona Lewis is a singer but Mariah is a SINGER/SONGWRITER. I love this song MY ALL, I DON"T WANNA CRY, ETC. That is basically the difference between Mariah and a lot of other great Divas of my genre.

  • yes I agree leona is only a singer but Mariah is the best singer in my opinion and people should not compare a legend to leona :/

  • mariah is a legend! and they are not!

  • she's gorgeous and her voice was absolutely flawless.. stunning.

  • Je paierai une somme astronomique si l'on pouvait me renvoyer à cet instant, dans cette salle !

  • Vocal perfection from start to finish. I'm not a big fan of a lot of her stuff, but nobody can deny mariah has an incredible voice when she sings songs like this one. Somebody mentioned Madonna in one of these posts. Madonna has NO talent other than a little bit of dancing ability. She can't now nor could she ever carry a note to save her life. Madonna is all sleeze and slick packaging and promotion. I wouldn't walk across the street to meet her.

  • and she wouldn't care if you didnt lol

  • @bjosephg777 I love mariah, but I've seen madonna live and she sings very well....

  • Omg she is still AMAZING, watch her Stay In love peformance, and her Obsessed peformance... SHE STILL IS AMAZING, my baby blew... Love ya mariah.

  • sooo amazing!!

  • this should've been releasead as a single it wold have een a #1

  • amazing performance! =)

  • i think she sounds good here but better now!!

  • I LOVE the runs and riffs, damn Tommy what did you do to this woman's voice? This is the songs she was made to do! Utterly amazing.

  • Tommy had fuck all to do with Mariah's talent....

    And ChevoneC is on crack, obviously.

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!!

  • ... oh wait you probably mean he fucked it up lmao if so sorry!

  • mariah you better work girl this is beautiful. i love this performence one of my favorites

  • oh haters.. how funny you guys are ,..

    i guess you're entitled to your own opinion.

    She may not sound like this anymore, but NOBODY can deny that voice is amazing.

  • that's called singing with Soul...

  • Where did *this* woman go? Absolutely one of her best performances ever. Lovely song.

  • love her voice! fantastic!

  • SHE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT AT THE END!! lovin it!!

  • one of my all time favorite songs from her. mariah is so underrated. she is the best and no one else compares.

  • :I How is she underrated? She's the best selling female artist of all time.

  • in many ways she is. one she doesnt get enough credit for being able to write her own songs. she did get alot of awards but no one ever had a tribute ceriomony for her like they did aretha, patti, and others. and they even gave mary j blige one before mariah. i think bet should honor her. they never had her sitting in the crowd while people song some of her songs to her. plus in my opinion she is the queen of pop but there saying madonna is. madonna really cant sing to me. but she can dance.

  • true true. i definitley think she is underated in the writing department.

  • ja but it might be kind of an insult to be called queen of pop........they call britney princess of pop...you know what I mean...mariah is bigger than pop

  • mariah's queen of r&b/soul so it was said on kiss fm when h.a.t.e.u. was released

  • You are right!!But could you imagine other people singing Mariah's songs.....I dont think so!

  • Madonna is - Mariah is the female with the most #1s

  • For me (It's just an a personal Known) the Best vocallist in the whole World are Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

  • Although I prefer Saturday Night Live-live version. But you can't find the complete performance in youtube.

  • This is the video of her rehearsal of the song on SNL: /watch?v=tWEAOvDxVwU&feature=c­hannel_page

  • thanks much! :)

  • go to mariahdaily(com)and seearch under media and u should find it

  • I have the live performance in cd.

  • This is my alltime favourite Mariah songs. In the top10. And she kills it. Just amazing.

  • stunning.

  • so brilliant!

  • I'm in love with this voice

  • indescribale talent, the best vocalist ever to be on the face of the earth!! seriously it can't get any better than THIS!! this is the ultimate level of greatness...

  • she should've released this song that way her first album would have had vision of love #1, love takes time #1, someday #1, i don't wanna cry #1 and vanishing #1 that would've been a #1

  • Breathtaking ! I think there are only 3 female Singers on this Planet who where able to sing that Song . It was my favorit Mariah Song :-) .

  • who mariah an who else?

  • Celine and Aretha !

  • is this her own writen song or theirs and do you know where i could get their verisons

  • mariah wrote this song in high school u filthy bastard de-grading mariahs talent!! she aint no dramatic performer like celine!

  • bruv do me a favor and dont make me laugh im mariah careys biggest fan and i wonted 2 hear whut tha others sounded lyk and i aint a filthy bastard lyk yhuu whos probably neva seen a cunt in his life

  • celine and aretha can sing this song..but not CLOSE to how she sings it

  • Are you freaking crazy!!!!! Celine and Aretha...HAHAHA!!

  • ??? crazy ??? Celin and Aretha are easy on Mariahs Level also thereVoice ranges "! What is your problem ?

  • mariah is the best female vocalist of all time :)

  • FUCK YEAH MIMI SHO EM HOW ITZ DONE BOO!

  • Incredible, amazing, astonishing...can't think of any more words to describe this x

  • SANG MARIAH!!! I love how Randy Jackson was on guitar even way back then.

  • Where is this Mariah? Hello? lol

    Great Memories...

  • dam!!!!!

  • SHE DID THAT!

  • Please don`t compare Mariah with Leona. Leona hasn`t the level of Mariah`s voice.

  • @crazy2hazy are you fucking crazy? whinny leona can't belt properly above E5 to save her ass. how could she sing this belty song? lol..she will commit suicide

  • @kelvinpyaeko

    Where in this comment did I mention that Leona could sing this song as well as Mariah? Please get back to me when you learn to read.

  • @crazy2hazy haha but u commented she has got a great belting and said she has this kind of powerful voice. so u r wrong..haha no wonder why u got so many thumbs DOWN oops

  • @kelvinpyaeko

    Leona does have a great belting voice, but if you read my comment more carefully, I said she doesn't use it the way Mariah does here. When I say this, I imply that Mariah is a better singer because I know that she is. As for Leona, she and Mariah share some of the same vocal qualities, but Mariah uses her voice better.

  • @crazy2hazy Leona was trained as a classical singer though, and so her vocal style isn't comprised of the gospel and pop stuff that Mariah's is. Therefore you can't really compare the two styles. :)

  • @MalRulesxx

    Of course you can compare them. Leona may have had some classical training, but she doesn't sing with it on her records. The technique she uses is closer to Mariah's than someone like, say, Yma Sumac.

  • @crazy2hazy I still don't see what Leona's performances have to do with this, Vanishing is a style nothing like Leona's.

  • @MalRulesxx

    I guess I was referring to her reserved power. Notice how at the beginning she starts off soft and quiet and as the song progresses she unleashes tons of power and conveys so much emotion. It's almost like she's growing into herself on stage, it's quite interesting. That's a quality I think she and Leona share. Their light, fluttery tones make them seem smaller than they are until they start belting.

  • @MalRulesxx

    But this comment only applies to Leona and early Mariah (1990-92) only, because Mariah's vocals improved as well as her stage presence and she was able to convey that strength all the way through her performances in her prime.

    And Leona does not sing with classical technique at all. Her genre is basically 90's pop, which has elements of R&B, rock, and whatever was the rage at the time. Her musical choice is a mix of Mariah, Whitney, and Celine, only not as good lol

  • @crazy2hazy Sorry to burst in, Leona Lewis got with Walter Afanasieff on purpose to emulate what MC did at the beginning of her career. Her co-produced her 1st and 2nd album.

  • @rekupp Do you think that was Leona's choice?

  • @crazy2hazy 90's pop was naff. Leona sings R&B and ballads, quite classically in songs such as Run and Here I Am. And she does have many more influences outside the 'big three', which Mariah Carey does not have. Also, the old Mariah improvised a lot and focused on the music rather than connecting with her audience, but Leona expresses far more emotion on stage. That is why they are different as performing artists. :)

  • @MalRulesxx

    I don't know what you mean by Mariah not having many influences, because she has very many. And expressing emotion is quite subjective, don't you think?

  • @crazy2hazy I meant that the two artists do not share all the same influences. And it is subjective, but that's what makes them different.

  • @MalRulesxx

    Mariah is one of Leona's biggest influences, she's said it many times. Mariah's "Anytime you need a friend" is one of Leona's favorite songs. That in itself explains their similarities. All I did was draw a comparison that was taken far out of context.

  • i'd like to know if mariah plays piano! 'coz if she does it, it would be wonderful she playing live!!

  • she plays it but to an amature extent. she has her own pianist and conducts them around the piano to what she hears in her head. which i would consider talent as well.

  • Vocal perfection from start to finish. The fact that it is a live performance and so perfect is incredible. The song is awesome too. I only wish she had sung more stuff like this.

  • What were all the songs she performed here?

  • I think only Vision Of Love, Love Takes Time, Don't PLay That Song For Me, and Vanishing. I'm not positive though

  • what range and vocal control....breath taking!

  • damn. woah...

  • WOW!!!!

  • Work Mariah.... just plain superb....10 performance all the way....it just dont get any better

  • amazing performance. ah the mariah of old.

  • Always my favorite Mariah Carey song.

  • Incredible performance! Wow! Notice American Idol's Randy Jackson on bass behind the back-up singers? (The "pre-makeover" Randy!) LOL. Man, was he feeling this. :-) Mariah was in the ZONE! IMO the result of focusing on VOCALS instead of your butt/boobs, the facial beauty mole you hide & people touching your body. Electric performance.

  • Go Mimi!!! Go 2008 Album!! Go Grammy Payback!!!

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...for posting this video!!!

  • One of my Fav performances by miss MC. I love when the piano player kinda misses a note and she gives this look like, ok what are you doing!?

  • she could make a very common song turn into an amazing vocal performance

  • What a voice...I love you Mariah...

  • wow! nothing short of amazing. i would love to hear her sing like this again, especially because i was way too young to ever see her live during the early 90s.

  • She is the greatest singer IMO

  • very classic performance. I've always loved Mariah Carey... she's just an amazing writer and she's such a powerful singer. I'd kill to hear her sing this song these days. I believe with time her voice actually got more stronger and lost the young sound displayed in this clip. She's talent through and through. I'm so happy she proved people wrong in 2005-now who doubted her voice. Go MC!

  • There are two more posted from this showcase, Vision of Love, which is a personal favorite to see her do live, and Love Takes Time
