  • DEF'S VERSION IS GOOD. THIS ONE'S MUCH BETTER (IMO)

    I JUST LOVE HER HIGH NOTES. AND IT'S CALLED WHISTLE REGISTER, NOT SOME RANDOM SCREECHING NOTES

    GEEZ, SHE DID A GREAT JOB OF COVERING ONE OF THE CLASSIC HARD ROCK SONG. SHE DID IT GREAT. SO WHY HATING?

  • is that randy jackson playing the guitar

  • holy shit she listen to def leppard ?!?!?!?

  • Mariah is the best ever ...love this live performance of her

  • the untouchable diva

  • totally live, you can hear the differences within the first 10 seconds.

  • love the whistle notes in the song

  • DIVA!!!!

  • UH MAZE ING !

  • If anybody should be covering 80s music it should be Mariah Carey.

  • lol at people assuming this performance is lipped just because some of the belts sound similar to the studio version. if you pay attention, you'll hear the differences.

  • lmao at all these rock fans on their high horses! you don't have to like mariah's rendition but don't act like your favorite genre is sacred lmao get the fuck outta here with that bs!

  • this is 100% live people, this is nothing like the album version, she is 100% here. so kiss off haters!

  • was that randy of american idol? XD

  • awful song, awful singer!

  • @MyWatcher101 LOL

  • @MyWatcher101 The best singer of all time***

  • @lawlinat0r go idolize your 3 time grammy only MC.. what does norah jones and adelle have to say to that!!!! point taken? she's annoying as hell, and who would name her baby moroccan, and how stupid is that? well everything's just my opinion, your idol still lives in her own fairy tale as i do mine. so cool off babe.

  • @MyWatcher101 What? She has won five Grammys... not like that even matters. Who the fuck are Norah Jones and Adelle? Never heard of those flops. You are obviously mad that she is more successful and talented than whatever fat flop artist you like. What the fuck does what she named her kid have to do with it? You're an illiterate idiot.

  • @lawlinat0r excuse me, i stand corrected! and so the grammy matters to you,,i thought you just said the opposite..now who's the idiot??? i think you're still stuck in your own little world, go out some more so you would know who am talking about!

  • "What the fuck does what she named her kid have to do with it? You're an illiterate idiot."

    i hope you've gone to proper schooling, cos im generalizing everything bout you idol..i say everything about her and it literally doesn't need anyone's approval including yours!

  • @MyWatcher101 How can you be so stupid?

  • Matt Lauer was feeling it!

  • 2:28 amazing

  • beautiful

  • it's very easy to know when Mariah sings Live or pre recorded or playback.... First when it's live u won't find on stage randy jackson !! when it's pre recorded she doesn't move her hands a lot ! when it's playback every fan know it

  • haha, look at Randy Jackson back there!

  • perfect as always :-)

  • oh i love her..she's unique...bellissima

  • deff leppard themselves appreciated mariah for this cover people so shut the fuck up and if you dont like this version then better dont watch it.

    and for people who say mariah is noboy......she is a living legend and has huge impact on the music industry and she is also one of few singers who can actually sing!!period

  • @suman2135 Def Leppard are LEGENDS in the rock and roll industry. they have gone through more crap than MC will ever go through.

  • @krisaf778 I don't think we should necessarily bash MC like that. While Def Leppard are ROCK LEGENDS, Mariah is mainly an R&B/Pop singer, and has gone through a hell of a lot as well, not to mention, she also has the success to show for it. A lot of people hate on her. It's hard to stick around as long as she has in this business. . .I just think people don't give her enough credit

  • @twloudmouth has she ever had a band member lose an arm? or get fired? or die? DL's been through all of that.

  • @krisaf778 that is VERY true. ..But I think Mariah is clearly paying homage to the band by covering this song. . .She is consistently ranked by fans and critics alike by one of the most influential and talented singers in pop history. Also keep in mind the most successful years of her career happened while she was always FULLY CLOTHED! I'm not trying to argue, and I DO respect your opinion, I just don't see the point in saying she ISN'T TALENTED. . .Even Def Leppard praised this cover themselves

  • @twloudmouth i just dont like it when different genres do different covers of good songs like that. rock and metal do good covers of eachothers songs. like when disturbed did genesis' land of confusion. but this was awful. it doesnt have the power like the original

  • @krisaf778 What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Def Leppard loves her cover and you will deal.

  • @lawlinat0r im making a point that mariah carey should not do rock covers. she ruined this song and Foreigner's I Wanna Know What Love is. Def Leppard may have liked it. but their fans think different.

  • @krisaf778 LMAO, not seeing at all how the two go together, but whatever. I'm sorry that Mariah isn't as "cool" and "badass" as Def Leppard or Foreigner... lmao.

  • @lawlinat0r pop stars shouldnt do rock songs. at all. they end up ruining the songs that way.

  • FUCK YOU, IT'S FUCKING LIVE

  • good christamas song

  • @88imperfectangel too bad its not a Christmas song

  • Why did she go and fuck up a perfectly good song! They call her a Diva?! She has all this fuckin money and the bitch can get song writers? All she's been doing is cover songs. What a joke!

  • @Daddybopper Dnt hate on her fella she can singer her ass off and she write her own song get it rite she dnt only do covers :0 Ugh #Mariah's Hater

  • Why did she go and fuck up a perfectly good song! Nobody can cover this song! Def Leppard should slap her silly!

  • Why did she go and fuck up a perfectly good song! Nobody can cover this song like Def Leppard! Stick to your own crappy music Mariah!

  • and she is so fucking beautiful! what the fuck is it that you have in your voice,woman,that makes me love you so muchhhhhhhh???!!!!

  • O agudo ficou muito bom...bem limpo...Love her

  • beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • Haters just can't face the fact that Live or studio MARIAH is INCOMPARABLE and there is always a twist to make every performance she does different from those in her Album!!!!!!

    and other artists just aren't!! :D I believe in Mimi, Mimi I'm forever...yourss.... :D

  • 100% live hateeeeerrsss

  • @jose0202able The whistle is lipped! xD And I'm not a hater; I just love her ....

  • 100% live i love u mariah and all the other lambs

  • a lot of people think that mariah's live performance is pre-recorded because she sang it almost the same as on the records. compare it to those artist who sang good on records but sounded awful when live..

  • @chadley2920 There's a difference between being "almost identical" aka singing the exact same notes of the studio version (same arrangements) and sounding IDENTICAL to the voice on the record. Plus Mariah almost NEVER lipsync the whole songs, she usually lipsync some parts and usually mixed those lipped part with real live vocals. Ironically the lipsync parts always tend to be the most demanding parts of the song (the belts), which is quite tricky. Here this is no exception.

  • Randy... lOl XDDDD

  • Even after the mass amount of times watching this video. Each time the vocals (especially that note at 2:30) still stuns me

  • shes really good on making a new version of the songs :)

  • is dat randy jackson behind her?...

  • 2:30 note, H.O.L.Y.FRIG!.....celine is the only one who can get close...probably vocally the best two woman range wise for singing

  • no talent? she has awards that hardly any other singer has in history and ur saying mariah has no talent? LOL!

  • the only reason why mariah is so famous is because she had big boobs. she has no talent. especially on a classic song as this one

  • omg this fat bitch just killed my fav song...

  • @kekc did u write this? did u sing it? NO the orginal singers and song writers said MARIAH DID A GREAT JOB. As Def said "The fans really get it wrong sometimes. She's on our side and it's an honour she's done it. Really, that's the only way we're getting played."

  • simply the best vocalist ever... period!!!!

  • This is why i luv Mariah Carey.... She will sing anything PWNED

  • Def Leppard's version was way better. Steve Clark (gutiars 1960-1991 RIP) wrote and played awesome solos in it. the person who did this was terrible.

  • @krisaf778 Who is Def Leppard?

  • @MrKephus the best band in the history of ever. they were the original ones who wrote/permormed this song.

  • @MrKephus search bringin' on the heart ache def leppard and you will see. You must be a younger person. Because anyone 30's and beyond know who def leppard is without doubt! I have a 14 year old and he knows who def leppard is..?!?!?!?!

  • @MrKephus this song is actually written by Def Leppard n they r the singer for this song. Mariah just made a cover for this song

  • some parts is lip sync

  • This is the best!!! the original sucks!!!

  • who is def leppard?? lol.,, mariah's version is the best,, i don't like the original.. this is mariah carey,,.. mariah has a permit to cover this song..,, if u don't like this version then u dont even like the one who wrote this song,,..

  • @mimicarey38 no she doesnt. and the ones who wrote this song is better um because it is their music. she did this as a last minute project

  • @mimicarey38 NO i Love the original version and hate mariah careys version.

    Why ?

    Because the original is a heavy metal song written by one of the greatest guitarist to ever step this planet (Steve clark R.I.P) And to me it has emotional values and im not the only Def leppard fan who thinks that way.

    The "New" version is nothing but an attempt to score a hit.

    And there`s absolutely no feeling and emotions in mariah careys version

    btw this song is meant to be metal ... Not r&b

  • @MetalThrashingMad87 I do think this is the GREAT version as well for Mariah who is good at creating new life or tunes of the song.What you thought for R&B music is artificial.The original version is a heavy metal song with emotions and full of feeling,but i don't agree with your point that is like only a song with emotions and feeling could be called a great song and the others are not.Her voice is so beautiful that you can listen to with no lyrics.Just close your eyes and appreciate it...

  • Mariah Carey???:O It's very poor:D

    The original Def Leppard version is the BEST\m/\m/

  • @gabesz66 true that!!! way better!!

  • WOW nice song...Mariah Carey is the best singer Ever~~~  thumbs up for this song~~ :))

  • Mariah, Mariah... why, oh why?? You should have left that song alone but darn that last note... geez, you are just too darn good!! Still, Def Leppard is Def Leppard so stay away!!! But that note... uff, you the best!! Lol!!

  • the back up singers are the only ones actually singing the song lmao

  • Deff leppard puts her 2 shame lol

  • she should of left this song alone deff leppard deff made this song sound way better lol

  • She is such a talented women that knos how to "Make it happen"!

  • This performance, vocally, is so clear and strong. Shows you all she needs is a good rest and she killing it

  • She will be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame in her eligibility year (2015) at the 2016 ceremony, if not I will then completely agree with what the Sex Pistols said!

  • I just feel that...oh damn, hang on one sec while I go puke. brb

  • That high note is no joke!

  • Randy Jackson!

  • MARIAH SING! amazing and the writers of this song said her cover is the only one that did it justice.. best female singer

  • Joe Elliott, lead singer - Def Leppard: "Mariah Carey has also covered it...and about bloody time! It took 21 years for someone to do a proper cover of one of our songs.

  • ESPECTACULAR.....

  • OMG THIS IS DEF LEPPARDS SONG U KILLED it

  • I couldnt hear her have the time becuz of the back track

  • this song was orgasmic i love this :)

  • This freakin sucks. Leave this song alone. Mariah....go back to being a has been.

  • NO. NO NO NO NO NO.

  • AWESOMEEEEEE! <3

  • what a beautiful song...... she really show how beautiful her whistle in this song... wahahaha!... lllllooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeee­eeeeee iiitttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Def Leppard Who.....lol at least they made some money off of mc...

  • is that randy jackson on the bass??

  • @murderotica0206 Yes, that is Mr. Jackson. He appeared on all of her records after 2002. =)

  • @MichaelRFuller82 I saw Randy on bass on Mariah's Japan Daydream tour in 1996, which shocked me...

  • @weallloveella WOW! I guess he's been with her a LOT longer!

  • @MichaelRFuller82 He's with Mariah since the beggining of her carrer in 1990

  • WTF!!!!! the biggest shit i've heard

  • She can take anyone's song, and make it look like shit.,. her octave range, style, control, and being a cross over artist is why she is been number one for years.. Def Leppard gave her the rights to this song, because they knew it would make them money and it did.. she fucking amazing.. 5.2 octaves are not really human especially the way mc controls her vocals, and suprasses every other band, femalel male.. her voice is a gift from god... no one else can do this,, so you haters eat shit.,,,,,

  • lol i can do that whistle

  • 2:30 wow

  • What' the thing with the fingers? REALLY!?

  • @Basshero93 maybe just tryin' to imitate sebastian bach by skid row ( he is not anymore in skid row ) :))

  • her backup singers look like they're immensely enjoying themselves....

    ^^

  • I'm sorry, but you're bringing on the earache.

  • Excuse me while I go and throw up everything that I had for lunch! I am speechless, not because how good it is but because how much this shit sucks!

  • I really love this song especially that awesome C#7 whistle..

  • its randy jackson.. at her back

  • MC, put that hand down before you hurt yourself with your pretty fingernails....

    xDD

  • Comment removed

  • @MusicallyUbiquitous charmbraclet went platnium honey

  • Beautiful!!

  • if regine is song bird of asia mariah is song bird of whole world

  • @vhenteuno23 I'd rather call her the Butterfly Songstress as her notes flitter-flutter beautifully through her wide ranged repertoire, never failing to put emotions into her already beautiful renditions...

    ^^

  • Oh God ... this whistle ... perfect!!!

    Love this song so much!!!

  • @jaydog664 Ha, They actually loved it. This is the only Mariah song I like, and I know Def Leppard was better. They liked it because of her voice. And They knew that if she did it, people would look for the original, and they would find Def Leppard. So she helped them gain some fans.

  • mariah`s a very good interpreter. all of the song she covered we`re all perfect.

  • no one can sing like MARIAH! She is unique!!! What a voice she has!!! INCOMPARABLE!!!

  • sucks

  • fuck... mariah!

    bringin on the heartbreak has always been my favorite whistle from yours...

    you did very great here!!!!

    you sounded like a wild jungle songbird!!!!

  • 2:31....impossible...she has a whistle somewhere...you are great Mariah

  • OMG!!!!

    the whistle....

    much better then the recording!

    what a live version!

  • @bgulliver03 She blows def leppard away.. she's can sing any type of music with 5.2 octaves..sorry def leppart. she owned you... and she mainly writes her own music.. very rare that she sings someone elses music.. she did a better job period

  • @Katie19711 Haha, no she didn't own Def Leppard. She did an amazing job, but Def Leppard is the master of this song.

  • A M A Z I N G O_O

  • Put your faggot hand down Carey.

  • @Michyness2oo8 shes a girl. you closet case

  • @blognewb I can't even remember what i posted on this originally to know what you're on about.

  • she was so pretty in the charmbracelet era

  • amazing performance!

  • some parts are live... shes really an actress lol but i still like her

  • @zwilIinge this is one of the only full live performances of this song actually

  • @jaydog664 stop being a Kid! That was incredible and you know it!

    Def Leppard commended/praised her on her remake! Please!

  • my god that whistle... perfection... 

  • ♥ ♥ ♥

  • i mean some parts are live

  • now this is LIVE!

  • is the whistle really live?

  • @endaime26 yes!

  • @endaime26 yes! Mariah has a rare whistle register

  • @cassiehassan it sounds the same as the audio :/

    

  • @endaime26 the whole song sounds like it does as the audio :/

  • @endaime26 Not really quite ... I had the chance to listen very closely to this performance and I can tell you that she really was singing live as her chest vocals parts were not identical at all with the studio recording. What gives us all the impression that there are some lypsync in here is the breathy vocals that she "overused" at that time And also the whole band was playing live ... I can't see a prerecorded vocal being used to a full live performing instrumental.

  • @Fabian81 good for her

  • the backup singers are amazinq ! THEY need a record deal . good job mariah .

  • what's the highest note on this song?

  • @Maranedy The whistle was a C7

  • @Maranedy C#7

  • REAL DIVA.

  • somebody get Randy a long wig so he can bop an shake...lol

  • I do love Mariah and this song, she the best "forever and ever", she "will always be the only one"

  • Best Female singer ever!!

  • @lovemydogs2003 ..she owns this song with her 5 octaves, and perfection... no one can top mc.... period.. haters dwell in shit..... lol

  • kudos to TheBaller357, i think she did a good job in this song...ppls always tend to love the originals better coz their minds are set by the originals..in terms of the lyrics of the song, i think her mellow voice better delivered them.

  • did she hit a high note at 1:10-1:14? sounds like it

  • this is uch beter than the original version

  • twilightluver919 was treated like crap earlier when she pointed out that this is a DEF LEPPARD song. It on is on their High 'n' Dry album released in 1981 on the Phonogram label. The band actually stated in an interview that they thought Mariah Carey did a good job with what they termed as "vocal gymnastics". Her version is good, but like heartnmouth said, it lacks the energy of the original version. Whichever version you prefer, you have to admit that Def Leppard wrote a kickass song.

  • @1996shannon

    thank you!

  • Yes, Mariah Carey has a great voice... But do this song, some justice it deserves... I can't jam, like I do w/ Def Leppard... The energy in this song, ... is not the same... I am sorry... She killed it... lol...

  • sdfghjhgfdsdfghj 2:29 that note OMG

  • Ok first of all this is not that bad compared to her new crap and damn I miss melonie daniels as one of her back ground singers

  • Maybe because it's a cover of Def Leppard haha. This is just shit though if you compare this to the original.

  • @headbanger92, she's not a rock star so she can't sing like def leppard did, but it doesn't mean this is bad. i liked def leppard and heard some of their songs but didn't know this one. i first heard this from mariah and i thought it was very good. then i heard it from def leppard but my feelings towards it totally changed...a song is just a song, different ways to deliver it can arouse different feelings in ppls.
