[mainstreamtalent7]

This is live, not auto shit.

[asekun022]

i cant get over on mc's voice ! so amazing !

[ProvocativeWoman]

I got chills when she did the run at 2:55. Holy shit!!!!

[mcdamian17]

This is the woman who blew Whitney away. LOL JK I love Whitney, but Mariah´s debut was the best in history

[sentfromupabove]

[darrenriccs]

wow 0 dislikes?awesome..

[stormieknight07]

i hope this is in better quality but i love mariah carey

[initochanchan]

Mariah Carey. Say what you want. She is still the voice to be beaten. 20 years after and i see no one even close in pop. LEARN btches!!

[etanielyehuda]

This is why Tommy Mottola turned around IMMEDIATELY after he heard her demo!!!!!!!

[sanyrub]

Holly shit that was AMAZING!!! Learn a little bit nowadays minidivas....

[stormieknight07]

[showgirl225]

[a32tl]

@showgirl225 Arsenio Hall show......in the Fall of 1990. 

[fralando]

raw... And beautifull

[skratchvocals]

this is what I miss. She had something to prove and she sang with authority!!!! She blazed the mic every time she opened her mouth

[bumblebeeexwife]

dahmn i love her

[initochanchan]

The part from the whistle to the escalating long "aaaaaaaaaaaall" finishing in with that low note is just UNFFFFKINGBELIEVABLE!! No one will ever beat that woman at its finest.

[mcdamian17]

I know, she´s the best... ans sometimes so underrated.

[10smirya]

luv u MC! Can't get enough of this!

[for2pica]

ain't no words.... my mouth is open ... ouchhh ... so amazing !

[linardp3]

wooohooo who could match those now... MiMi >>>Raw!

[a32tl]

In the early '90s Mariah's voice was the best of the best. Absolutely incredible! Still love her but her early career will always be special to me.  She was untouchable!

[haroldking]

@a32tl SHE REALLY IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC.. AND ALSO THINK ABOUT HER WRITING THIS SONG. THAT WOULD ONLY SAY THAT SHE IS THE PERFECT SINGER/ARTIST OF THEM ALL OF ALL TIME. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY AND PERFECTLY TRUE.. MARIAH CAREY WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME. AFTER SHE CAME ALL THE NEW SINGERS ARE JUST COPYING HER STYLE ESPECIALLY HER WHISTLE REGISTER.. EVEN THIS BEYONCE IS TRYING HARD TO WHISTLE OH MY. MARIAH CAREY IS INCOMPARABLE, INCREDIBLE AND UNBEATABLE, ETC..

[K3nny905]

wow...mariah back in the day...no one can touch that

[fralando]

At this time in her career, she absolutely SCOLDS this tune....

[fralando]

This song, in her prime is scalding....

[TheTittoboy]

BEST VOICE

[TrillLibra93]

Mariah Carey is awesome! I know that Beyonce can dance, but vocally, she can't compare to Mariah.

[ellestikal]

QUEEN!

[furacarles1]

Amazing!

[Marvinglz]

DAMN!!! I got chills up and down my spine!! Awesome!

[canuhandleit06]

Boy am I glad she got her teeth fixed on the left side!! sing Mariah!

[princeblondie]

She needs to FIRE those backup singers

[laceleatherxxx]

she rocked this peformance shes so good

[laceleatherxxx]

shes awesome

[Mariahis1]

2:55 to 3:03 is simply brilliant! When I heard Mariah sing live back in the day I fell in love with her voice .Mariah gave her all and not just studio sound but she proved to be one of the best live vocalists that I have ever heard.

[Mariahis1]

simply amazing!!

[Oonthada]

At 2:55, she KILLS that run.

[patrick4u]

Love her a lot. Always an inspiration. FEEL FREE to take a look and comment to my cover of her lastest single I Stay In Love. Check it out ;) MIMI RULES

[raul7193]

i loved it, but i still parfer the version of SNL, many poeple don't, but is the best, without any nosy sounds, and plenty control of voice, but i always wonder why she never hits that high chest note after the whistle, well anyway she is the best

[princeblondie]

I think she did at the grammy performance.

[VioletKrystal]

when u switch from head to chest and do that note, it's easily go out of tune or worse it will damage ur voice

[a32tl]

Best live version of "Vision of Love" I've ever heard!! Flawless! Mariah nailed this one!

[princeblondie]

The one at the grammy's was PRETTY FANTASTIC

[ssaturn]

this was a little better than the one at the apollo.

[Quran1sDa5hiz]

she's so amazing she makes it seem like its nothing to sing that great in front of all those people. it like second nature!

luv u MC!

[ssaturn]

sblxi, that was perfectly said. wow, stopped me in my tracks. i still think, if mariah could sing like she used to, SHE WOULD. people use the 'mariah doesnt have to prove herself' exuse to cover up for their "diva" not being able to sing anymore. so many mixed feelings about it

[sblxi]

I think Mariah can still sing, but I think her new style isn't very singer-friendly, if that makes any sense. I think she tries to be more radio friendly, that's why she doesn't belt out as much. Diva singing is kind of played-out, even though people like Beyonce and Leona Lewis are trying to keep it alive.

[potroast21]

that is exactly how I feel!!! That does make sense!!!! I've always tried to find a way to put it and you nailed it! thank you. =]]yay mariah!

[DominicoDR]

EFFORTLESS!

[ppiizzzzaa]

this actually real not make up stories yesterday(4th of july) I was fishing with my friend and this old lady come up to me (60+) or something and there's this car that played I'll be there(covered by trey loreinz and mariah carey) and since I was bored I want to talk with somebody so I said "I know that song" and she said "yeah thats what you call "music" today's sounds/rap are not music its only "noise" and then I was like okay? after yesterday I didn't listen that much on rap music

[vjrom]

why everyone is comparing her 90's work to leona lewis, she aint got closer with mariah. she always gets flat.

[warara22]

leona is absolutely nothing to mariah. Mariah is a hustler!!!

[heartcontusion]

This was on the Arsenio Hall show. It's the second time she performed VOL there. The first time was June, this was a few months later.

[welshangel13]

where is this performance from??

Its Amazing

[YUPnNOPE]

best performance of the song i've ever seen her do!!

[CamillaSexyGirl]

Great! Wow what a voice. She has 5 scala voice.

[CamillaSexyGirl]

great! WOW what a voice. She has 5 scala vocal.

[mariahcareynum1fan]

i love the ending!!!! the whistle note and the long note! love love love it!!! FOREVER MC!!!!

[caudilloazul]

this is even better tha the recorded version!:D

[initochanchan]

This what I'm talking about. You can't just come here and compare her with someone. She was AMAZING! She still is when she wants. But that voice back then was unbeatable, perfect pitch, absolutely wondeful!!

[raul7193]

NOW compare her with leona!haha, ovbiously mariah is better

[brazyTALLyungen]

even right now, Mariah is better! hahah. i mean, yeah..her voice has changed over the years, but she still possesses that strong voice that we've all grown to love!

[4skorand7]

Holy crap! Could you get anymore amazing and pitch perfect than that? That was so SICK! Those high notes are off the chart!! Her very best song. She looked her best ever, back then.

[4skorand7]

Freakin' great!

[4skorand7]

Let's see Leona Lewis pull that off!

[Coones56]

This is my favourite mariah song...fantastic performance 5 stars

[fralando]

Love singers early in thier careers when NOTHING is left behind in a performancs... Fantastic.

[MAGIC07]

Whitney set ser vocal STANDARD and they thought there wasnt going to be noone better then Mariah came and tied with whitneys STANDARD but at the same time set her own STANDARD.......her voice has endured some wear and tear over the years but clearly she could still sing circles around any artist that steps to her...so can whitney

[a32tl]

I've seen many many of Mariah's live TV performances but had somehow missed seeing this one. Sooooooooo glad I finally saw it. Love this one. Her SNL Vision of Love performance is the bomb also.

[chrisanthemum7]

DAYUM!!!! she...killed it.

[ssaturn]

this was the best performance of this song from arsenio. arsenio summer jam, to be exact. she tore it up. the best version of vision of love was the one from the apollo. apollo, this and then oprah

[tatodami]

I'd add to your list the excellent a capella she did in Wogan,isn't it AMAZING?!!!!

[hazeleste]

this was her 2nd go with arsenio right? i think the first performance was the one where she wore black and didn't do whistle.

[haywoodjabobi]

i believe your right except she did do a whistle, not sure...hmmmm.

[heartcontusion]

yes, this is the second performance at Arsenio, from September 1990. The first time (June 1990) she didn't do the whistle.

[BrooklynBorn99]

I wasnt born yet...lol

[Aaliyah9876]

i wasn't born too !!

she was already a star end she is still a star.

love her

[dmlforte]

great performance.
