MC, EVERYONE IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE COMPARING YOU AND REGINE VELASQUEZ. THEY SAID THAT MS REGINE IS WAY BETTER. YOU SHOULD HAVE A CONCERT WITH HER SO THAT WE WILL KNOW WHO'S THE BEST AMONG THE REST
@initochanchan And what is your story based on. On Mariah's own words?... Women tend to say things to rationale. Tommy is now married to a beautiful Spanish singer. She's obviously jealous. Its obvious she regrets her decision divorcing him. What else could she be singing about?This is my opinion, and its probably true.
this song is great because its real. Its about Tommy Mottola, now she regrets letting him go. And maybe she is jelous unhappy that he found another woman, Thelia with whom he has two children
@TheMehakarp Hahaa Are you serious? Mariah NEVER really loved Tommy. He used her and abused her emotionally. She just saw a father figure in him and was so happy to leave him. Mariah is happily married to Nick Cannon , has twins and has declared she has NEVER been happier in her life. Sometimes Mariah just writes songs so anybody can relate to and might not be personal.
@TheMehakarp If you watch the music video for 'we belong together' you can see its NOT about Tommy, the person she gets married to in the video is "tommy" and she runs like the wind. "the dress was the best thing out of that marriage...so it was nice to be able to wear it again" Mariah joked.
Mariah is absolutely not lip syncing this song so please crack heads stop saying that she is. You get your ass on that stage and do what she does. Oh wait you cant because she has a gift from God and you dont, so please stfu with that crap thanks.
Its obvious how she struggles to sing this sooo how this lip synced? Refusal to believe that there is in fact a good definition of talent is on your choice. This is flawless!
This song is A BITCH to sing live... trust me she's singing it live... you can see it, in her performance and in her eyes when shes try to pitch the note... Chorus's are often played over to left to let the artist rest... remember; these guys sing this (live for the GOOD singers) 1000's of times when the song is released all over the world.. it takes its vocal toll... respect to MC... I'd <3 to sound to her on a BAD day... xxxFAxxx
this is live, you can't just say she lipsynched...stop looking at how her lips open and close coz that won't justify your observation... friendly TIPs: get some kleenex, turn the volume up, and listen attentively
really I mean just watch her interviews. She sings everywhere she goes so i doubt she carries around some voice machine to sound good. She is one of the only original voices left in the world and is truly amazing!!!!
I love Mariah - in my opinion she has the best voice of our generation - but yes she is lipsynching this performance. There is absolutely no variation b/w this and her studio track and when she sings live she ad libs. Can she slay this song live? Absolutely she can. But clearly that wasnt MTVs goal for this performance.
@mwashinc I can tell when she's lip synching, this is definitely live. You can tell, c'mon. shortness of breath in some areas, changed notes in some areas, prolonged notes in some.
@nerdyrice1 Is it so hard to believe that she can sing a song that she wrote and co-produced live? There is nothing that suggests she was lip syncing beyond the mere fact that it was amazing. In other words, the band was live, her back up vocalists were live, and Mariah was live.
Why Argue? the point was PROVEN that Mariah Carey is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Haterz! hate on ur boring ass life, wait muh badd... u aint got 1.. ur 2 stuck tryin 2 be like mariahs! ahaha! _bye =]
She's a freakin legend!!!!! Love her!!!!! My favourite singer! And I love how she express the song with every inch of her body :) I LOVE U MARIAH CAREY!!!!! -3 haha I'm such a fangirl xD
She starts singing live until the 1:41 mark. At that point there is another track of her voice in the background that fades away at 1:56. She continues to sing live until the 3:17 mark where the backtrack fades in for the rest of the high notes. She really should put down the pipe. When she first started singing, we didn't have to put up with this crap.
@initochanchan Are we unable to express our opinions without insults? I don't smoke, I'm a sound engineer. There is no excuse for lip synching. If someone is ill, they could just cancel or sing something they can comfortably sing.
She starts singing live until the 1:41 mark. At that point there is another track of her voice in the background that fades away at 1:56. She continues to sing live until the 3:17 mark where the backtrack fades in for the rest of the high notes.
yeah, it was cool and it was live...buut, i think that the last togetheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer was playbecked xDD...well, i think so, if i'm wrong, tell me xD
@BajcoTheSinger y do u think it was playback? u dont think mariah was capable to pull that note off? She even does so perfectly in her bet blueprint performance...this is live ;)
@sexsyy87 This song is INCREDIBLY tough to sing. It requires a pro to be able to sound decent, specially the breathing technique. U don't pause until it finishes. It's miraculous she has breath left for the final high belted notes. Only Mariah baby Only Mariah.
In my opinion this show is actually live. Mariah was in great condition their vocals, the CD version was only put in a better tone to his voice as the music had not been performed live many times and Mariah likes to analyze their performance. She actually sang live and did not need retouching. It is remarkable that his tone vareia much, and it makes sure that we went live.
@keko1239 I agree completely. I'm a big MC fan and I remember that she was up for many awards for this song at this awards show. She actually went on vocal rest for the prior 4 days to ensure that her voice was properly rested to give an awesome performance, which she did. :)
@DJQTUBE Yeah, right! If we evaluate this and other performances we noticed she did not use more lip From there he saw that his performance was perfect to make the song awesome. That's why I still think she should not throw hard this year. His voice needs to rest for about triumphing.
another 1 of my favorite performances of hers. That red Valentino gown was banging on her too. She gave old hollywood glamour girl and sang phenomenally while looking great.
@xennexdude It's not lipped! Notice how when puts the mic away the volume fades as well and it's different from the recorded version. Some people forget she has perfect pitch and can sound flawless when she wants to. She can have days off but when she's on she's on.
@initochanchan I'm sorry mate, but its lipped, from 3:28 till the end, seriously...i love mariah, she's my favourite singer ever but if u listen to the recorded version at the same time as this, then ending is exactly the same, I've just done it...
@xennexdude Then u don't have a good ear cause i've done the same and there are differences: the raspiness in "it's so hard to believe", the added inflection in "toGEEther" at 3:41, longer and different "whose" at 3:49," OH baby, "at 3:53 her voice cracks and it doesn't in the recorded version, the vibrato is shorter than the cd vibrato. REALLY listen.
@livicus Why do u have to be such a hater FYI It's NOT clear it's a pre-recorded version. She has live prerecorded parts (the one she sang live at BET for the E=MC2 release) which she later used a couple of times but THIS here sounds live to me except for the fact the final long note was editted but there was a fan recorded video of this where it was clear even the last long note was live.
@initochanchan Have you ever heard about pre-record? Mariah is a master of making them. When it's lipped, it doesn't mean her voice can't crack! Learn music and its tricks )
@Forever1Charmed Pff Obviously I know about pre-recorded. In the last 10 years whenever Mariah lips she lips to a pre-recorded version, yet this one is not prereorded. I can tell from a mile when Mariah lips because I've been a fan since 1990. I know her voice better than mine. This is not prerecorded, if anything this is dubbed in the end but not lipped. I wouldn't be a fan still if i didn't belive in her.
@initochanchan actually darling the rumor I heard is that it's not the version of the cd that is used but a different pre recorded version. Most WBT performances use one of those...
@dreamdate Yes I know and i can tell when those pre-recorded versions are used because it's obvious. There is a volume change and a change in the sound quality, but here her voice sounds smooth throughout the whole performance.
@initochanchan actually I think recently it's even less obvious for the lambs... you can't always hear the volume change etc... anymore. Maybe she redubbed some parts afterwards like the You and I on BET, you'd say it's her totally live but it was also edited post performance and it's known mariah is hard to obtain on a show if you refuse her the editing rights afterwards...
@initochanchan She's lipping, just not to the studio version. Where is the written rule that says artists can only lip to the studio version of their track? If you compare the final belt in this performance (minus the C5) with the performance at the Grammy's, they're one in the same. She's lipping to a pre-recording, which is common.
@Judgeyy I am fully aware that Mariah never lips from the CD version but pre-recorded and it's obvious. But in this performance her vocals where flawless from beginning. You know pre-recorded clips will appaear when her voice sounds scratchy but here it was not necessary. Maybe she used this vocals to her Grammy performance to save her voice for Fly like a bird??
@initochanchan Her vocals were flawless here from beginning because it was dubbed! I don't want you to think I'm hating on Mariah - I love her to bits, I have a HQ audio version of this performance (and Grammy's) on my iPod and listen to it all the time, but I just notice things.
She lips because she wants to put on a great show for her fans and audience - if Mariah missed a note, it would be in the papers, so she has to make sure she doesn't! She's a clever business woman. And FLAB was live ;).
@initochanchan However, you're completely correct with this and many other performances - a lot of the time she doesn't need to lip, she just likes to play it safe. When she's live, SHE'S ON IT. Look at I Stay In Love at the AMA's. She hit those F#5's like "it's nothing!", and then Don't Forget About Us at the AMA's - technical issues plagued the performance, but she did every single bit live. Whistle and the long belt - she doesn't need to lip at all, she just chooses to for security.
@initochanchan And this often translates into "SHE LOST HER VOICE!" when she's occasionally caught out. Assuming your a Lamb, we know Mariah still has it. She can hit all the same notes she used to be able to, maybe not with the same ease but she can. Just because she's in a studio doesn't make them fake - a studio can only do so much to help your voice, you have to have something to work with and Mimi got plenty! L4L
@Judgeyy Of course I am a lamb for life since 1990 on. I know her voice better than mine. I don't think this is dubbed though because this was televised hours after being recorded and there was no time for dubbing. Plus the beginning is a bit off-key to be dubbed. Ther are a lot of vocal layers, that's all. I mean all producers who work with Mariah have said she has that buttery tone, which, when in top shape, makes it sound dubbed. I have sung my whole life, I know what I'm talking about.
@initochanchan If there's time to alter the performance visually (she's in colour and everything else is grey-scaled) then they have time to alter its audio. I don't think the beginning is off-key at all, those are the best "Ooooh"'s she's ever performed live. And if you notice, the "so, go, love, self" are sung in the original notes of the studio version (she rapidly shifts into a whisper), and she seemed to struggle doing that live.
@initochanchan I'm sorry, i know its not lipped....its been dubbed, most of mariahs live tv performances are, she sings them live on the night, and in the tv studio they edit her voice to make it sound better (which is quite hard)

I wouldn't be a fan still if i didn't belive in her.

@initochanchan actually darling the rumor I heard is that it's not the version of the cd that is used but a different pre recorded version. Most WBT performances use one of those...

@dreamdate Yes I know and i can tell when those pre-recorded versions are used because it's obvious. There is a volume change and a change in the sound quality, but here her voice sounds smooth throughout the whole performance.

@initochanchan actually I think recently it's even less obvious for the lambs... you can't always hear the volume change etc... anymore. Maybe she redubbed some parts afterwards like the You and I on BET, you'd say it's her totally live but it was also edited post performance and it's known mariah is hard to obtain on a show if you refuse her the editing rights afterwards...

@initochanchan She's lipping, just not to the studio version. Where is the written rule that says artists can only lip to the studio version of their track? If you compare the final belt in this performance (minus the C5) with the performance at the Grammy's, they're one in the same. She's lipping to a pre-recording, which is common.

@Judgeyy I am fully aware that Mariah never lips from the CD version but pre-recorded and it's obvious. But in this performance her vocals where flawless from beginning. You know pre-recorded clips will appaear when her voice sounds scratchy but here it was not necessary. Maybe she used this vocals to her Grammy performance to save her voice for Fly like a bird??

@initochanchan Her vocals were flawless here from beginning because it was dubbed! I don't want you to think I'm hating on Mariah - I love her to bits, I have a HQ audio version of this performance (and Grammy's) on my iPod and listen to it all the time, but I just notice things.
She lips because she wants to put on a great show for her fans and audience - if Mariah missed a note, it would be in the papers, so she has to make sure she doesn't! She's a clever business woman. And FLAB was live ;).

@initochanchan However, you're completely correct with this and many other performances - a lot of the time she doesn't need to lip, she just likes to play it safe. When she's live, SHE'S ON IT. Look at I Stay In Love at the AMA's. She hit those F#5's like "it's nothing!", and then Don't Forget About Us at the AMA's - technical issues plagued the performance, but she did every single bit live. Whistle and the long belt - she doesn't need to lip at all, she just chooses to for security.

@initochanchan And this often translates into "SHE LOST HER VOICE!" when she's occasionally caught out. Assuming your a Lamb, we know Mariah still has it. She can hit all the same notes she used to be able to, maybe not with the same ease but she can. Just because she's in a studio doesn't make them fake - a studio can only do so much to help your voice, you have to have something to work with and Mimi got plenty! L4L

@Judgeyy Of course I am a lamb for life since 1990 on. I know her voice better than mine. I don't think this is dubbed though because this was televised hours after being recorded and there was no time for dubbing. Plus the beginning is a bit off-key to be dubbed. Ther are a lot of vocal layers, that's all. I mean all producers who work with Mariah have said she has that buttery tone, which, when in top shape, makes it sound dubbed. I have sung my whole life, I know what I'm talking about.

@initochanchan If there's time to alter the performance visually (she's in colour and everything else is grey-scaled) then they have time to alter its audio. I don't think the beginning is off-key at all, those are the best "Ooooh"'s she's ever performed live. And if you notice, the "so, go, love, self" are sung in the original notes of the studio version (she rapidly shifts into a whisper), and she seemed to struggle doing that live.

@initochanchan I'm sorry, i know its not lipped....its been dubbed, most of mariahs live tv performances are, she sings them live on the night, and in the tv studio they edit her voice to make it sound better (which is quite hard)
