We belong together

[boston1925]

she is the flower that makes the power....

[jerraldglaser]

Dammmmmm.... The ending was so filled with soul.

[BonaDun]

thick

[theovanua]

To be fair, she had just sung Make it happen Amazingly just before this... Hence the breathlessness at the beggining...

[coolfukindude]

the finale was the best I have ever seen from any artist ever, she has the best voice of all time

[jasoncedrick]

THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE ON EARTH BY THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE ON THE PLANET,,,,THATS THE FACT!!!!!!!

[jasoncedrick]

ARE U CRAZY PPL...FOR U TO SAY THAT THE LAST PART WAS LIPPED?? U CAN BARELY HEAR HER BREATH WHILE SHES HITTING THAT SUPER HIGH NOTE AT THE LAST PART...ONLY STUPID AND HATERS CAN TELL THAT THE LAST PART WAS LIPPED..GET THE HELL OUTA HERE..LOL

[darrin1701]

@jasoncedrick She does that on a regular base that some part of a song can be lipped, so what's wrong with that?

[jasoncedrick]

@darrin1701 i know!!! but not this one and the performance at the Grammy aswell...

[theoneandonly2503]

The end is probably prerecorded, cause I've just seen her Hero performance just before that one, and she was totally unable to belt the notes in the Hero performance, so there's no way she can belt like that two minutes after....Even in the Make It Happen performance, who was very good, she had difficulties as soon as she was trying to belt higher and we can clearly here the limit of her real belting range. END IS NOT LIVE For me, sorry.

[inspireradavstatyer]

Will always love this song

[richmariahemancipate]

she looks tired and sleepTy with her make up but totally HOT TAMALE :)

song of the decade wooohooo i love this eternally

[kloskal]

I'm not a hater... But this performance is weird... I would say is live.. because make it happen is great and 100% live and hero was live too... but let's see. when she lipped this song (other performances) she lipsyncs her performance staring at 2:40 to the end... but here I think she sings it live...I think she lipped 2:40- 2:41(maybe to take a breath) and then 2:42 she starts singing live until the end so I think this was powerful and live.

[Judgeyy]

@kloskal The final chorus was 100% lipped. She uses the same pre recording here, at the MTV Movie Awards 2005, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards.

[kloskal]

@Judgeyy mmm idk... I think it's posible... it sounds almost like the one ON MTV AWARDS... exept for the last WE BELONG (BEFORE DE LONG NOTE TOGETHEEEEEEEEEEEEEER)

[Judgeyy]

@kloskal the final "we belong togetheeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr" was always lipped in that era (excluding the MTV Movie Awards - her voice cracks at the end, and the Blueprint BET performances - it's obvious), so how she starts off the note is irrelevent. It's just something she does to make people THINK it's live, but the note is way too refined and sounds 100% like the studio one.

[inspireradavstatyer]

@Judgeyy Check your ears. The last chorus is obviously not lipped.

[Judgeyy]

@inspireradavstatyer Check yours. The last chorus is obviously a pre recording. Same one fom the MTV Movie Awards and Grammys.

[Frozen7201]

@Judgeyy i'm no mooriah fan, but anyone could tell that was clearly live. she is an amazing singer and you have to give credit where it's due.

[theoneandonly2503]

@Judgeyy I agree with you. And I am a Mariah fan, but the last chorus obviously is not live, judging by the two others performances she did just before.

[Judgeyy]

@theoneandonly2503 THANK YOU! Finally xD. Fan to the rescue. You can even hear the transition from live to lip when she starts the "We Belong Together, baby!": there is a significant change in volume and the sound sounds more closed off, when you sing live the sound fills every where.

[BuFabulous]

How can I sing like her. Hahahahahaha

She's my legend

[ElectoneZac]

the legendary diva!

[argarzah]

damn i cant believe she pulled it off. thought she was out of juice just before the bridge!!!! Daaaaaaannngggg!!!!

[hmeadb]

who is dissing this legend? Doesn't matter. Not like the haters are any better.

[myspike010]

can i hug you mariah? lol!!!

[Antiproton2009]

even to the point of vocal deterioration, her saving grace are her high notes. Her lower vocal registers are heavily damaged... she is really breathless reaching low notes but belting seems to be alot easier for her.

[bogieroo03]

Sing it MARIAH!!!!

[danmillerscotland]

This actually is live, you can easily tell by her speaking voice.

You know when she is lipsyncing when her speaking voice sounds really raspy and dry, no one she would hit a big belting clear note!

Impressed with this performance, but it was for Live 8, Mariah is a huge supporter of charities, she gave her all.

[psyko55dj]

How the people can do "don't like"?!?!........they have a BIG problem....she's REALLY AMAZING......

[drunkdivamariahcarey]

HIT IT WHENEVER YOU CAN!

[2020eliz]

Mariah is the best of the world...

[playlife00]

I love you mariah!!! Very good performance and omg her legs are so pretty!!!

[mariah3510]

wat a funny face that man have at 0:05

[ZakrazakOfTheXMen]

@mariah3510 Is that randy jackson?

[mariah3510]

@ZakrazakOfTheXMen yes,, he is.

[aaron3063]

lol i didnt even notice Randy Back There!! But What more to Say Mariah Beautiful &AMAZING AS USUAL AND KILLED THIS SONG IN THE END LUV MC!

[singerinthemakin1]

wow in the verses she sounded a little out of breath but by the end everyhting was PERFECT! she's flawless!

[Russin07]

oooooohh she is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN

[arj0ie]

3:08 , what the??? amazing!!! love you mimi..

[txemaddmlfca]

arriba la Mariaah!!

[asekun022]

[sexygeeunitgurl]

Damn, girl can sing!!! Not like you don't know dis already. loL~.

[tertra114]

nice

[Awannano]

love this...

this is real live performance..

[MIMIFan001]

This is live stfu tlkn bout madonna & enjoy the song or leave

[SirPillah]

Amazing and TOTALLY live!!!

[slmala999]

The difficult section of the song from 'we belong together baby' till the end is mimed. It's recorded vocal, and identical to the grammy's except in that performance she came in live for the last note and shortened it.Don't get me wrong she's an AWESOME singer, and she can take the credit for singing that amazing vocal, just not here live on stage. It doesn't take away that both she and this song are great! :D

[goldendust77]

hi mariah carey whatsup...?

[888MakingItHappen888]

lol

[MiMiFanx3]

THE GREATEST

[ImperfectAngelsCry]

My favorite performance of this song, its better then the studio version!

[e77type]

Why did that idiot drummer come in over her long note at the end? Maybe they were worried she couldn't pull it off but she did just fine.

Love this song.

[repenttyourself]

The last note has ALWAYS been lipped except for the BET Blueprint performance, as well as the Grammy performance.

[calvy]

Not really, look to any live performance of this song from 2008, as well as Adventures of Mimi tour.

[petergriffin9901]

THIS note is not lipped!

[manuelcustodio22]

ya'll need to clean your ears !! you have to quit the shit on your ears !! LIVE 8 it's always live !! And Mariah is not fake like britney and madonna OKAY ??? so dont speak more about her voice because ya'll are ridiculous !!! and please get a life !!! ya'll are borring !!

[repenttyourself]

Just because the show is called Live 8 doesn't mean every performer sings live. *DEAD*

[manuelcustodio22]

but live 8 its a live performance for everybody in live 8 you cant be fake !!! so if u dont know that live 8 was only a live performance for each artits so i wont talk with u anymore because you dont know what u're talking about and I DO

like the awards mtv music award world music awards its always live performances if you dont know that so now you do !!!

[sokdudu]

LOL Madonna is not fake :D She's sin ging live in 90%. Mariah, too.

[manuelcustodio22]

madonna is fake !! elton john and the music industry said that when she's in concert or tv she does playback in 60 % of the show!! she only sings few songs in live !! but after that now she tries to sing in live right now!! because how's everybody know! in the music industry everything go to the light !! like britney it's playback there are videos with the sound of her microfone and enrique iglesias too

[Katie19711]

monkeydonna is a man who performs circus acts he can't sing or dance.. he the star of the monkey show..

[manuelcustodio22]

@¡¡Amitx3 Madonna right now doesnt do playback !! after the affair about Elton John saying that her performances and tour was in playback! she use a machine who make ur voice better but sound a little bit like a computer ! thats why she has song really electronics !! AND I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT SINGING AND DANCING "BEYONCE" IS A REALLY GOOD SINGER AND SING AND MOVE MORE THAN MADONNA ! AND SHE DOES EVERY PERFORMANCE IN LIVE !! BEYONCE IS GOOD PERFORMER AND DANCER ! ITS CALLED PERFORMANCE

[cassiehassan]

@manuelcustodio22 a performeer..... beyonce is a entertainer whereas mariah is a performer

[iiAmitx3]

@manuelcustodio22 i don't know what drugs i took when i wrote that comment (lol jk) but you're totally right, madonna is garbage. mariah is the best!

[999xander999]

She's the best !!! End of :)

[murtazamurad1994]

somehow i always think she barely ever sings this live...coz the last note always sounds like the studio version - getting quieter...im confused....

[takemyrevolution]

is maybe the ending note pis-sync??

[DanielAvilaAGT]

at the BET wasn't lipped, im talking about the edn, (togetheeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr) but anyhow, if she wants she can hit that same note, regardless

[alan305z]

its live..and at the end she is pulling the mic away and lowering her voice giving her a fading note...I sing and i can do that( fading note)the farther away the mic is from your mouth the less volume it picks up

[denidowi]

obviously its getting quieter coz she pulls the mic away and runs out of breath in some performances.

[Mimidncr96]

Amazing! as always!

[kisskissbangbang94]

you can't hear it here but she got massively booed at the end, her singing was great but this was a charity concert and she was making a tit of herself demanding water and mic stands and people to hold her water, like it was her own damn concert.

[MusicLoveJaack]

I dont remember that. I was @ live 8 london and i just remember my ears dieing everytime she belted cos i was standing really close the speakers lol

[ajones2009]

God forbid she asks for water and a mic stand. LMAO

[mariahsbuttafly]

Her body looks amazing here

[yoghurtraspz]

dont like randy j

[mco5ker1]

shes so cute with her hand @ 1:48 fcking love her!

[GabrielFerrari8]

A Música da minha vida!!

Perfeita de mais! :D

Amo Mariah!

[alotafagiana]

Sing it girl, sing it!!! Love you!!

[pepinho1000]

gostosa de+++ olha essas coxas .......delicia

[cuntylicious]

it was good..

[xgirlzrulex]

her new songs are crappy

i love the old times when she had the best voice around

she had better control, better range and better everything

[richied3454]

Her songs are just different but it's called moving on with the times. you can't be stuck in a 90's time warp for the rest of your life plus her range aint decreased in i stay in love she hit an F#5 in full chest voice and her whistles are still great. her vocals just don't have the stamina they used to but that's what happens with age

[MusicLoveJaack]

Its interesting because her vocal nodules have really been playing up recently which is why she hasnt been singing so great. She needs a BIG rest from the music business to get it properly sorted out.. Shes released a single every year since shes come out, done a live performance every year ever since shes come out... And next year she's embarking on a world tour. By the end of it her voice is going to be in shatters!

[CelineDionVidChannel]

I agree. Looking at the big three, I come to this conclusion... Whitney has done damage to her voice, that probably won't be reversed. Celine took 2 1/2 years off (2000-2002) and is currently on another break that will last over a year. Mariah has never stopped though, and has done no damage to her voice...just over used it. If she'd take a break, then do a world tour....she'd be better then she's been in many years. She is overworked now...

[alinetheoc]

MY LIFE´S MUSIC

[poetshine]

i figured it out Mariah is not a dancer God blessed her with a beautiful voice but i think wats happening now a days is that she tries to move and sing and it throws her off. but standing still she's beautiful

[trmimi1970]

ive noticed that sometimes too.

[fazzee360]

Yeah you're right but sometimes she doesnt get the right balance. I mean look at I'm that chick at the fashion rocks awards, she barely moved. BUT when she sang Make it happen at this event (live 8) she was perfect plus she moved around a lot

[poetshine]

lol and on that note i think its the shoes, she should break them before performing in them

[rafacutelove]

I don't listen to many songs of her, but I really love her voice.

[Abstractionant]

is that randy jackson <3?

I love mimi, #1 mimi fan here!

[chrissytee]

yeah hes part of her management and band

[starmick5]

Madonna totally stole the show as usual

[TurkiishBeauty]

Lovely voice

[MusicLoveJaack]

this is live which is why its called LIVE 8. think of the critism she would of got if this was mimed.

[jethro1mariahcarey]

beautiful!!!

she is gorgeous!

i love her so much!

hope we've meet soon!

if i would become a richer!!!

love yah! MIMI!

i will go to U.S.A!

i love her performence!~

[stijllissimo]

Please , all of You criticts !!! This is LIVE . Mariah is one of if not the best singer in the whole world . If You luv her , enjoy her and appreciate her .... If not , bless You . No need for negativity ...

[ptrcvrsls]

amei lindo chik amow..

[Fred4509]

[kayophillyp]

A melhor!

[freespiritjustsoul]

This is SOOOO LIVE...let me speak to the doubters in venacular they understand...DUH!

[darrin1701]

man what happened to her voice?

[sarahbenachour]

I Love her !

Amaziing The best !

[mariahs1]

She didnt lip sync, yuu can tell when she does. when she lip syncs she gives no effort. yuu can tell when shes singing her heart out. plus she moves her hands when she singing. so therefor she didnt lip sync. theres too many jealous ppl

[welshangel13]

It's completely live people! the BBC confirmed it was after they had so many enquiries from the viewers asking if it was live or not.

[ilikeazula]

best one ever greatest singer to ever live

[alotafagiana]

Love her! # 1

[jumpcc]

I LOVE DAT DRESS!!!!!!!!!

[iluvmylay]

omg thats so sad, so was the ama lip synced then where she was wearing the red dress becuase its the same exact ending?

[NightShadow54]

Mariah is a kind of singer you either hate or love her. I love her.

[RoyalSilence]

i hate her......

[DiscoRules2006]

i hate you

[RoyalSilence]

i dont really caree..

[chuptet]

its all live,,,

[butterfly1ob]

that was totally live. u dont appreciate her at all.

[sheena3000]

omg dressing like a call girl

[hollywoodcokewhore]

lol dressed like a call girl n front of children at tht! lol gotta love mimi

[NightShadow54]

The end sound like lip-sync...

[paeng0921]

the best performance.......

[dolce7188]

Oh my god mariah i love you but i did hear you lip sing the ending///but i guess its just one of those days that your voice needs more rest.//she is very obvious when she lip sings

[initochanchan]

There was a version hear on youtube that was altered you could hear only her voice and it was clearly live. I was impressed, well not really because i know what she can do.

[avcms]

i see randy jackson!

[kylelanteigne]

she can sing EXTREMELY well live.

the ending was amazing,

[Benny8692]

I think this and the MTV Movie Awards performance has to be her best performances of WBT

[hollywoodcokewhore]

yes because the movie awards was completely lipped. lol. here the ending was

[bellagurux3]

best live performance.

love her. <3

[scavery1980]

The DVD for live8 really pissed me off cause this performance was not on it... WHY cause this was one of the best performance of the night!!! Bob you wanker...

[lebb20]

big wanker huh lol

[LowErGoiLs]

this is best performance of her in the song of We Belong together that is really live

[chemox90]

excelente!!!!

me parece tan aplicado y polijo, ademas que tiene un sentimiento para cantar los temas!!!

es una de las mejores cantantes del mundo!!!

[vanxito]

Preciosura ... ♥

[paulamaiah]

Esta Mulher canta demais.. A melhor do mundo

[Greenterror]

she so fat, LOL I'm joking

[everton20078]

amo vc MARIAH CAREY

[freakazoidodo]

haha randy's playing keyboard

[1kenno1]

she really nailed the last part of the song!!

[robbyam]

too bad she cant sing like that now :( but anyways, the ending was AMAZING!

[initochanchan]

That was 3 years ago. Of course she can still sing like this. Don't generalize from some weak performances. In 2000 her voice was weak too and then in 2005 we had this.

[iluvmylay]

u must be crazy

[robbyam]

really? crazy? have you even been noticing the way she has been singing this year? look at some videos of her performances this year, actual live ones. obviously not the same, she cant even belt out the ending of we belong together anymore. her voice is much weaker now, still good, but alot weaker compared to 2005.

[iluvmylay]

yeah i guess your sort of right but honestly i think she CAN sing just as good or if not even better!

i believe she kinda slacks off and doesnt get full rest.

[robbyam]

in some ways she is better. but she can definetly not hold notes as long as she could. and ur right about her not getting enough rest. she hast had anytime lately. the reason she sounded so good in o5 is cuz of all the time she has off from making an album. she got lots of rest and sounded great!

[anotherOnefortheOne]

Goddess.

[willemc]

her best version of this song... love the music. Just enjoy the music and never mind the criticism... people read into things far too much these days and they probably no feck all about singing/music themselves!

[Alcazar1024]

She is a gift from God. My My.

[tmla]

I like the Mariah back in 2005.

[robbyam]

me too. i missher :(

[Pesanchez06]

I love her!

[pinochetista78]

she is amazing, why dont people stop saying that she has no more voice, thats not true, fuck you haters GO MARIAH!!!!

[orangeeu]

BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[P294G]

Her voice is actually better than it was in the late 90's and early 00's but it is different to what it was in the early 90's. I wouldn't say worse because I think that she would not have been able to sing her current material as well as she can now in the early 90's.

[cinqoctaves]

Her voice is badder and badder with years, but this one is especially very great. I've seen the whole london concert,more than 99%of the artist that were there has terrible voice in live,Annie lennox was just awful.Here mariah is obviously far far from her best,but still better than Most of the present artist at this concert.

[athol26]

thanks i think

[froggypimper]

I agree 100% she was REALLY good n the 90's and although she is still REALLY good...its just not the same b/c of the years...

[twilightmoonclipse]

wow, she ended perfectly! i thought she wouldnt of been able to do it she sounded exhausted when talking

[coolfukindude]

Mariah at her best especially the ending, theres simply NO ONE like her that has been discovered yet! but Leona is copying well

[Yummypancakez]

Haha Randy Jackson on bass :)!

[MissLKS]

i feel so uncomfortable watching her there! she sounds like she could just crack at any minute, wish she wasnt so in love with herself then maybe even if the vocals werent great she could still perform the way she used to!

[MusicLoveJaack]

this was when she could still sing good live

[t8i3m5]

this was in '04 / '05 - her "problem" happened back in '00 (when she had her breakdown or whatever) so how does that even make sense? she came back right away and has gone on to do amazing.

[pinochetista78]

exactly!!!!

[LilCuteDevil07]

OMG i love mariahhh!!!

to tell thhe truth she kida sounds like my mom when she singings but i think MARIAH is way better!!! ILY MARIAHHH!!!

[alotafagiana]

Only an insecure woman would call another woman a tramp for the way she dresses. Worried your man might like it? lol! BTW she looks and sounds amazing!

[darrin1701]

she loks like a tramp cna't she dress any other way ..like a real diva?greaty voice thou..:))

[OKzs]

I love this song so much, it never gets old.

[dsmfnjshjkbgiub]

nobody mimed at live 8 , no one

[amiguitouk]

I remember watching Live8 on tv and when Mariah was singing this, Posh and Becks were watching and Posh was looking on adoringly and singing along. They must have edited this out at someones request??????????????

[slmala999]

Haha I guess so!

[slmala999]

Haha I guess so!

[djviranga]

she was not lippin
