Mariah Carey Make It Happen with great piano players

[rodrigomoratto]

Randy Jackson, Melanie Daniels, Trey Lorenz, KELLY PRICE IS THERE AS WELL!!!! Not to mention BRAZILIAN Pianist WALTER AFFANASIEFF who produced many of Mariah's biggest hits, and Dave Cole drom C+C music factory...I mean plus many other musicians and backing vocals who are amazing and were there. It is super talent fest!

[NiRie017]

3:15 and 3:22 gave me chills ! i always listen to this song ;))i simply love it!! xD

[ludimnavarro]

takes me back every time amazing!

[initochanchan]

David Cole and Walter Affanasief in the piano, the Price sisters and Trey Lorenz as background singers and Mariah Carey the lead voice singing a song about faith OMG!!! It doesn'r get ANY better than that for sure!

[initochanchan]

@initochanchan I'm forgetting Randy Jackson on the bass and Melonie Daniels background. All these people are amazing talents.

[cowensheba]

i love the soul clappin from the background singers!  church for sure!

[MaxArts]

Take me to church mariah!

[vocalista15]

I like this version more than the studio version...ITS SO A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!

[girlmusiclvr33]

one of the best songs ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MOENUU640]

MARIAH FOR PRESIDENT!!! lol

[mycenth22]

I mean would this happen nowadays??? Could any of these new artists hold an audience down like this...Mariah - the one and only....and the piano is soooo awesome...two piano players on one...thats what happens when you get a diva up to sing, the piano needs two players!!! lol....Viva Mimi.

[9502702]

LORDS KNOW I NEED I FIND STRENGTH THROUGH THIS SONG !!

[0928calmshadow]

fantastic, fabulous, majestic and chanting superb performance MC...you are always the best

[naturallineify]

que linda que es por el amor de diooooossssssss!!!

[BroBroDude]

what a waste of talent

[Jared95C]

@BroBroDude :\.. I wish she'd still be like this, instead worrying about her image like she does nowadays. But then agian she has nothing to prove anymore, so I guess it's ok. :(

[vocalista15]

very inspiring song!! i love to hear this song over and over and over again! lolz! mariah is STILL THE BEST!! no one does it like mariah!

[JudeSantana]

0.06 to 0.09 what was that face? scary!

[manilapoetry]

fabulous arrangement. love the voice. love the piano playing. the background vocals were on point. amazing!

[maemae808]

I miss Old School Mariah! The best!

[mcdamian17]

At 2.33= raspy voice= nodules = LOVE IT. It´s really weird that nodules gave her the most amazing vocal texture of all female singers.

[dmzflightmedic]

why isnt this song on her "best of " CD?

[btravisgriffin]

Love this song, which is beautifully anchored by a sample of Alicia Myers "I want to thank you" - another favorite

[Number1MariahCarey]

Good Performance mariah carey..i will always be your number 1 fan

[DanielCMM]

wow that was so latino

[LucasAndrade1992]

Eu te Amooooooo muito Mariaaaaah!!!

[BINATAKAN]

MC D GREATEST!LOVE HER

[mellesha24]

Mariah is the BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[wujaniek]

two guys in the piano - masterclass!!!

[sripeat]

lol i know i just noticed! mariah is the best ever!

[quikset33]

The gentleman on the right side is the late David Cole, from Clivilles and Cole (better known as C&C Music Factory), who produced this song for Mariah Carey.

[myriam0611]

yes it's amazing with two guys in the piano!!but i think that she is the best singer of the world!!

[JaninSweet1]

@wujaniek Walter Afanasieff is another one!

[iluvmylay]

this is amazing. ! i love the "Got ma feet on solid groundaaaaaaagghhh" lol

[saywhaatuk26]

@iluvmylay fucking love it

[wulfross]

Piano is amazing. Not a fan of this song, but whatever. This is a stellar performance...and love the piano player's shimmer/rhinestone jacket: God bless the early 90s. And herpes and c*nts - wtf?

[mellesha24]

i love u mariah carey and ur song and voice

[marimar014]

my dad said that i used to sing this song when i was 3y.o...hahah

Mariah dresses differently obviously NOW unlike BEFORE usually as what you've said more on black and white...but the ways she dresses now is kinda super revealing huh!!! inspite of that i STILL LOVE YA MARIAH CAREY!!!

[bcblls]

dont forget she had tommy on her back, telling her what to do, and now shes free to do whatever she wants

[crazy2hazy]

does anyone but me notice that the only colors she ever wore from 1990-96 were black and white?

[gonnagetgunned]

she was made to not look sexy and had to wear alot of clothes so people focused on her voice maybe than her looks and also because she had an obssesively jealous husband however she does wear more colours than black and white lol thers vids of her wearing all diffrent colours jus go look

[crazy2hazy]

I know that she wears different colors now, but from 1990-96, she just wore black and white.

[gonnagetgunned]

from 1990 when her career started all the way till now shes always worn all diffrent colours she never only wore black and white. shes worn all diffrent colours from 1990 onwards, go and look at old vids.

[crazy2hazy]

well, all the ones i can think of feature her wearing either black, white, or both. There are very few exceptions, such as on Arsenio hall in the Emotions performance, but other than that, she always wore black and white.

[TheMrMarilyn]

That was Tommy's mandate/dictate...the 'look' and the 'image' and the TRACKS and even into her interpreTATION of and withIN each track as well!!It's NOT that his 'concept' was (or IS) 'wrong'...but i could/CAN really empathize with her...wanting to 'soul' it up...because when someone is as phenomenally gifted as Mariah IS it gets BORING to just replicate the recorded sound all the time...but whatever...everything has worked out great now,he got HIS 'vision' an SHE is getting HERS too,'win-win'!!

[tneves03]

yeah, its true her voice isn't as precise as it was before.....she cant really sing live as well now...it sounds pretty bad...but she was the shizzle back when she first came out!!

[Sall80]

Notice how the left background singer claps at 3.16. What is she doing?! lol. The rhythm is all wrong even though she's a singer. lol. Performance is amazing!

[assaultislove]

That's called a "soul clap," where you clap on the eighth notes of the beat

[neobenny]

I don't expect anything.

She used to have an amazing voice. That's all.

[neobenny]

what a so great voice she had !!!

[buddylover11]

she had WTF SHE DOES!

WHAT DO U EXPECT WHEN SHE HAS BEEN SINGING ALL HER LIFE?

[MDalton85]

yeah but obviously you know what he/she means if you say ' what do you expect when she has been singing all her life'. I agree with both of you. She is still an amazing singer!! But not like she used to was..

[feeklv]

I would LOVE to see Emotions and Can't let go. Can anyone post it?!

[cassandratype4]

can't let go is in the RELATED VIDEOS to the right of your screen

[feeklv]

I only see the video with only the audio and the one from user Leolovesmimi but it only has a small part from the Unplugged performance..

[kcrysten]

She's soo good. And people just need to deal with her changes...I mean people change in time and for her this has been a long time!!

[iluvmylay]

this is so good!

she always gives me the chills. i love her growlin!

lol

mimi forever

[Wahter]

The two pianists are Walter Afanasieff and the late David Cole (formerly of C&C Music Factory).

[feeklv]

wow, I know them both but I didn't really know what they looked like. Thanks.

[ninawilliams023]

I also learned that the song One Sweet Day is dedicated to David Cole when he passed away in 1995.

[gretch165]

one sweet day is a song or someone who passed away. my stupid friends thought that one sweet day is a romantic love song. LOL

[feeklv]

What an amazing bunch of musicians! I wonder who those 2 guys on the piano are too. Amazing artists with one of the best vocalist of our time. Everyone is so talented! The result is obvious..

[Sall80]

who are the guys who play the piano? One of my favourite Mariah songs!

[carlydaboss07]

This was a very fine performance. Mariah looks so beautiful, vocals on point, instruments were amazing... I love it!!!

[sweetboy31380]

see thats whats up!! this was when she was all about the music!! y does she think she always has 2 b half naked? u guys c the young kelly price? and david cole? luvs it!! robert clivelles RIP> 8 backup singers?! 2 aweome. loves this whole cd!! mariah at her best and most talented and fully dressed!!

[briobrandon911]

loves this whole cd!! mariah at her best and most talented and fully dressed!!

woah! that was a rhyme dude! i agree wit ya. but still i love MC and i will be a lamb 4ever! haha

[carlydaboss07]

What does what she wears have to do with her talent??????

I'm so sick of hearing that! She is still about her music!

[Moshid88]

I Love the live instrumentals with the strings...OMG I am a violist and I am loving this with her vocals on top. I luv MARIAH!!!!

[mimy36lovesu]

this is on her MTV UNPLUGGED EP

it's awsome xD

[siegestor]

absolutely. I have that DVD. Haha.

[mimy36lovesu]

cool, i didn't konw that there's a dvd of it xD

[siegestor]

well, i think if you are in the US you can buy the DVD in cd shops. But I'm not sure. I'm not in US. I asked some friend there to bring me one. You can also check on ebay.

[mimy36lovesu]

i'm not in the US either. i live in Germany

but ebay is a good idea - thanxxx

[Muzicx44]

Look at everybody....all were having so much fun...Mariah did a superhuman performance...Like hitting those every consecutive damn difficult notes

[ninawilliams023]

She had a better vocal quality in the 1993 version of this song but I think this version is better.

[orangecarrotcake]

She was getting hoarse during this performance.

Still sounded amazing!

[Alcazar1024]

She's soo cute and shy, I love her.

[cosmo466]

So sad, this girl cant sing now and I do agree is she does for sure its technology-wise

[islezeus]

Nice House rhythm

[firstfan1993]

Awesome for the Unplugged special back in 1993. Go Mairah Carey, she is so awesome! Go Mariah!

[MOENUU640]

OMG IS DAT KELLY PRICE AS ONE OF HER BAKKROUND SINGERS??? lol

[islezeus]

yes!

[Muzicx44]

Mariah sing with higher keys unlike Filipino singers sang Mariah's song in lower key and slower tempo....thats why sometimes they did it good....and then the fans conclude that their filipino idols are greater than Mariah...how pathetic

[kiheitek100]

Ya, I'm filipino & those deluded filipinos "prefer" to believe they have filipino singers who are better than Mariah!! How stupid! So far, there isn't a singer out there who can reach those high notes like her.

[Muzicx44]

Oh my god..she is a born legend..thank god i was born in this mariah music era

[MariahCarey1028]

this song was sooo fast!!! damn her voice was the shit back then it still is but goddamn she didnt ever struggle for a moment!!! MC is the best!!!

[kirkramzee]

i love this song

[BaybeeChezy67]

her material here was alot more raw she had talent that no one could touch songs such as vanishings and visions of love all in your mind emotions songs artists couldnt even write or sing where as anyone could write and sing touch my body

[BaybeeChezy67]

and to be honest she doesnt showcase her vocal talent much anymore with the root of music she decided to go down and back then she was doing it for the love of music now shes doing it to get radio play and money but oh well I love the mariah back in the day right here shame all the money went to her head aswell and no im not a sheep I can actually think for myself its obvious shes not the same as back then ASTHMA OR NO ASTHMA

[islezeus]

After a while thats what it ALL comes down to. This business is tough and brutal and if you wanna stay in the game you gotta play by the rules:

Until the public starts wanting to buy REAL music instead of rap/hip hop beats and computerized voices, don't expect Mariah to make good music again.

[aquamarine11500]

whats wrong with rap and hip-hop Huh?!?...

and Mariah still makes touching music..and her fucking voice is not computerized!

[islezeus]

Hip hop is fine, but when it starts taking front and center while REAL music(knowledge of music theory and ability to play and instrument and sing on-key) takes a back-step, something i wrong.

Any illiterate fool can rap, but music is an art and craft that i studied and deserves more than it is getting, IMHO.

Mariah can sing, don't get me wrong, but her music today is rap compared to her stuffin the early 90s

[crazy2hazy]

I disagree that "any illiterate fool can rap" mainly because it isn't as easy as most people think. Good rappers are actually smart and complex people, not thugs and gangsters like most people think. I do think that Mariah has capitalized on its popularity, but it certainly isn't inferior to her 90s stuff. You just prefer her 90s music.

[1037pm]

umm, can you rap?

Can you make up rhymes off the top of your head?

You have to have talent to be a rapper.

They don't get as much credit as they deserve.

[islezeus]

Um who gives a fuck. Can you really SING? Do you know the difference between a C and a C#? Can you sing an arpeggio? Can you transition from chest to middle to head to falsetto/whistle smoothly?

Sorry boo, but I am NOT impressed with C-rap

[1037pm]

Umm first off please dont use "C-rap". You sounded like the most stupid and lamest person on Earth.

Now, I personally know all of those and can do all of them.

However, in order to be a talented singer, you dont have to know how to read music.

In fact, MC doesn't even read music. So leave the rappers alone because they have talent. Don't change the subject please asshole.

[islezeus]

OK I won't use C-rap... how bout Hippity Hop Hop?

I'm glad for you that you can do all of these things but you're an idiot if you don't see the difference in being an able musician and being someone from da hood who can rhyme "ball" and "fall" on a beat.

I don't care what you say, Lil Wayne, Jay-Zee, Nas Tupac and B.I.G. are NOT comparable with Miles, Ella, Billie, Frank, Stevie, Donny, Aretha, Patti, Michael and others who know music

You're dismissed, asshole

[1037pm]

Wow, youre one dumb bitch.

I hope youre not blonde.

Really, you can't compare the two, rappers and singers. They have two different professions and they obviously make different music.

Get over it. You don't have to meet your botched perception of "talent".

So why don't you make a rap song and tell me how it fares because its not easy and rappers need more respect than you are giving and you will probably ever give.

Yo

[islezeus]

you're the jackass. You annot ackowledge howmuch more it takes to be a REAL musician and how common it is to get a rapper on the street. I mean drug dealers? Persons who probably don't have their GEDs and can't string a complete sentence together? Platinum teeth? Vide-hos and bling bling? Those are usually the rapper you so revere?

I DO agree - you cannot compare the two: rappers and singers... rappers are not on the same level. You don't like it, too fucking bad asshole.

[1037pm]

Damn you're a cunt.

Now, I don't listen to non-mainstream rap music much but I am not gonna sit up here being a jackass saying that they have no talent and they aren't musicians.

They are and do.

You obviously don't recognize it because of some...personal vendetta.

I have respect for people and you obviously don't. You need to work on yourself.

Point is, they have talent regardless if you say so or not. You're a jealous bitch. Great job. Now get the fuck out of here.

[islezeus]

"I have respect for people and you obviously don't"

Yet you call me a "cunt" "jackass" and a "jealous bitch"

Guess you're just a hypocritical cunt who can can kiss my ass, huh?

[1037pm]

Yep, and calling me an "asshole" and "jackass" is so much better.

I only attack people that way unless they do it first, so my statement still stands.

I thought I told you to get the fuck out of here.

Come on, this is becoming a waste of time with you brining up senseless arguments.

[islezeus]

I never claimed to be the virture of respect, who did.

"I only attack people that way unless they do it first"

Um if you backtrack you find YOU called me names first, an asshole.

I never brought up a senseless argument. I made my comment and YOU responded, taking my beef with rap so personally.

And you didn't upload this video so you can't tell me to get outta here. However, I can tell you to kiss my ass you bitch

[1037pm]

Well it seems like along with respect, you need to learn how to formulate actual sentences that make sense.

"Virture" ? That's not a word.

The senseless argument was the "respect" and swearing crap that you brought up. Instead of staying on the subject of rappers having talent.

You changed the subject and brought up senseless arguments that didn't pertain to the actual subject.

Can't follow logic I guess :/

[islezeus]

It is obviously a typo, dumb cunt. You know, these things do happen on informal online chat forums.

If you were to check-out my past comments you would see I did stay on subject... it was only up until YOU changed it to a senseless argument by attacking me and claiming yourself to be the VIRTUE of morals and respect that I retorted.

You're a fucked-up cunt, that's for sure. Do you have one testicle? Got herpes? What's the source of your cuntiness, dear?

[1037pm]

Im gonna go out on a limb here and ask how herpes has anything to do with cunts?

[islezeus]

LMAO you're such a tool. Dumb cunt! :D

[1037pm]

Yep, you're a dumb cunt.

Anyways, I'm done with you.

Have a nice day. :)

[islezeus]

*kisses*

[1037pm]

*hugs*

[iluvmylay]

EXATCLY!

dont u fuckin hate how people bitch about her "nowadays"

like stfu people get over it, MARIAH CAREY IS AMAZING PERIOD!

[BaybeeChezy67]

Asthma does not effect your vocals I have asthma myself and im also a singer/song writer and it does not effect your vocals AT ALL basicly all the over powering and whistle notes destroyed her vocals after the years and tired her vocals out and all the tours and promotion she was doing and never mind her two failed marriges which gave her a breakdown nothing to do with asthma ridiculous

[qmerjos]

i miss this mariah miss her to much

[PrincessCandy2682]

Alot of people don't realize that Mariah has asthma and it is now getting to her after singing the way she has for so many years. I think she sounds great considering that. Other artist have been happy through out the years because they think her voice is deteriorating. If it wasn't for her breathing problems she'd still be the best. but she's still my favorite and I'm still one of her biggest fans.

[emoGmusic90s]

she has asthma? i didnt know that?! but really how u know

[mimispice2007]

me also, i don't know that she has an asthma.?! for me she had an insomnia and she said it before, that's why she gonna sleep late at night always, and that's why also her voice got change since 1998..but atleast she can still sing although not like this..btw i still love her!...pretty Mariah Goodluck and take care always!

[dipshitandfatass]

this was cute. Shows her BEFORE she conformed to the digital world.  -_-

[orangeeu]

best

[darrin1701]

I say it's different almost a different artist; she can't match what she did 15 years ago that's for sure

[dmaurice1964]

She was better then than now....and the band ....WOW

[CuTeRoSi]

i love all of her mtv unplugged live shows they are great and she a really good singer

luv u MC

[darrin1701]

the voice was like a flow natural and with a lot of vibratos, but is was less powerful than now, it's funny how much her voice changed, and see it's very common you wanna prove you can sing and blow and you force your voice over limits then there's always a price to pay.I like her voice naow thou louder, good in the graves not perfect in the middles and the highs man she can blow!!

[Mariahcarey20000]

I didnt realy understand....are you saying mariah is louder, more powerful and generally better now than she was then??? haha, NEVER

[Yesstia]

I really LOVE Mariah's MTV Unplugged from 1992!She was happy to sing her songs, she really loved what she was singing!She wasn't forced by Mottola!She was really happy!

Ans she was so natural, so great, so talented!

I really like this Mariah!

She was just WONDERFUL!That's all!

[vanjovimose08]

[laffy]

[mientememami]

[mr9majestic]

[potroast21]

[PIANOMAN720]

I'm glad someone knows talent, thanks for bringing me back to this video, i just gave her another STAR !! *****

[blured]

this unplugged was amazing !!!!!!!!!!! i got a cd and i put it in my ipod and this sound amazing........

[AprilONeil1984]

She has been my idol sence her very first album Mariah Carey!

[jamesbarber4]

...SO SOULFUL!

[jeroenalders]

i miss the power in her voice in all recent (after 1996) performances she should take a lot of vocal rest and vocal retraining and then she will be the the best singer in the world like she was in the early 90's (though she is still great)

[wing0305]

this is really a great song!!! i love MC anyway!!! she is talented, she is gifted!!!

[HISGIFTED1]

Check Kelly Price out in the background holdin down the soprano section. SaNg Kelly!........and Mariah, of course.

*BE BLESSED*

[8122556]

She looked so nice those days. She's a wonderful singer,but now she looks like a street walker!

[yenyd14344]

i miss those curly hairs..!, and th power of her voice..!

[FoReVeRDiVaS]

I love it!!!

[Jonas914]

MARIAH CAREY will always be the BEST singer/artist of all time.. WE LOVE YOU MARIAH!!!
