  • * Wow...so effortless for her..she was born to sing. It would have been a TRAVESTY if she had ended up doing something else for a living.. :) Yay Mariah! *

  • WOW!!!the legendary MARIAH!!!

  • This has to be her best performance of this song ever!

  • she always has the best back up singers, so soulful

  • Hey, I love this song, I'll be covering it soon! Check out some of my covers when you have some time. People say I sound similar to Mariah, Leona, Kelly Clarkson, and a few others. I guess it depends which songs I'm singing. I really love Mariah's songs though, so I'll be recording more of them soon. If you have any requests, let me know, I have most of them on karaoke/instrumental now! :)

  • I love her outfit here :) but obviously, what strikes you the most is her vocal abilities. Wow. I love it when singers show how good they are and make live performances as amazing as(if not better than) the studio versions! (Xtina, MC and Beyoncé are excellent at it). This is when Mariah was at her prime. Looooove her<3

  • WOW...

  • I agree with you all

  • Best eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • if you here the control, shifting of the voice even with the texture and the power!!!!!! wwhoooooo no one in the world has this kind of voice ONLY MARIAH!!!!

  • ask any singer to sing i dun think anyone can sing the same way as she did or even close to her standard...

  • no one will ever sing like this...better than studio version.OMG!!!

  • her voice, it's just so beautiful.... beyonce, xtina...no other artist can ever match this voice...

  • Yummy! God Bless Mariah! God bless us all!

  • Mariah carey i love you so much , she is so cute and she is a example of woman , and her music is so great amazing

  • I hate that she hates performing this song, because this is a JAM! I can just feel her emotion leaking through.

  • i dont have a fav. mariah song cause all of hers are my favs:)

  • I love you

  • GORGEOUS!!! A true genius!!! And this one's my favourite!!! Unfortunately she didn't manage to keep her unique voice on this fabulous level... so sad.. I soooo do wish something would take HER VOICE BACK TO WHERE IT USED TO BE !!!....

  • @pappo09 And so do I, now she has some good days, but most of the time her voice is weak or lipsync.....

  • Damn, I wish I had the chance to attend an MC concert in this stage of her career.

  • she's funny

  • Her voice is golden here

  • Oh wow! I haven't heard this song in a long long time...

  • love u 4 ever,mc.................ur the best

  • This is SO the best performance of this song I think I've ever heard or seen! I actually think it's better than any of the studio or video versions.

  • Comment removed

  • Truly amazing probably the best live version of any song ever sung...

  • wat kind of a human are u mc???

    ur a 1 in a billion....

    so sad how u sing nowadays....

    huhu...miss ur kind of music....

  • 4:52

    awesome.

  • this was my FIRST favorite song of hers. This was the reason why i still love her so much!

  • @xeth86 the same with mee!!! :)

  • SHE ONLY SUNG IT ONCE

  • True, but I can understand why. It's such a hard song to sing live, I can't imagine anyone else singing it like her. I blame the producer for making her dislike the song in the first place because he didn't let her help out, although to me the production wasn't bad at all.

  • god bless mariah

  • she's been on stage singing almost every day for over 10 years.. a freak in a circus..

    everyone wanted to listen to her.. unbelievable.. one in a billion!

  • I'm speechless.

  • her best performance of this song I think... great improv. and her voice is beautifull

  • thanks :)

  • This woman has so many good songs u can't even pick a favorite cause almost everything she does is amazing. I wish more people would see the beauty in her personality and her music.

  • @SingerWriterProducer

    i srsly am with yuh all the way on wat yuh just said ryt there soooooo true....

  • I agree completly. Her lyrics are so profound and her voice has no comparison with anyone else... I wish people would see that artist that she is...her collaborations, her improvisations with sounds... Shes unique...

  • I do believe. I do honestly. And I know Mariah suffers a lot for being able to please us (the fans) like she used to.

    And she hasn't remained that cute. at least she doesn't show. I, personally, think its a undercover so people can't hurt her.. but hey, that's just me.

  • Mariah at the beginning is so cute =) I wanted her to be still like this, yet, however, unfortunately, that wasn't possible :(

    Here is another example on how her voice is much better live, back in this period, that it is now :)

    I do love her voice here, and the music was perfect back here <3

  • Her voice sounds absolutely amazing here. Yes this was def. her at her prime!

  • i adore her husky laugh, it's so sexy. and i love how she was laughing then out of the blue started humming as the music begin. amazing

  • this one performance made me love this song.

  • This is my baby in her prime.... I miss you here honey

  • tarantadong mariah na to....ayaw magpagaya style ng pagkanta! ang galing! kainis!

  • hahaha! u gotta love mimi for that :)

  • Agree hirap ng mga kanta nya...Dami tuloy mga Pilipinong manggagaya ang napapahiya

  • Ppl ALWAYS look better NATURAL. Its rare that you see that plastic surgery has actually enhanced someone's appearance

  • excellent version!

  • matagal na ito, now di na nya kaya yan.. matanda na kasi eh..

  • lol @ "I don't know. I'm american man." choo kawaii jian. omoshirokatta ne.

  • This is a true singer!!! MAGIC

  • she really looks good then and I'm just wondering what the hell happened to her. Getting implants made her look so trashy now.

  • I am agree. Come on Mariah we love u because of your cute voice and u are beautiful too. But just no need to be naked to be sexy. Your voice is sexy. Thats it. U are a diva.Agree folks?

  • totally agree, i'm a huge fan of hers alwayz been. but we luv her cuz her VOICE not her looks, she'z beautiful just da way she is. i wish she would just see dat

  • Ah she didn get implants

    she jus put more weight on!!!!

  • WOW, She is great!!!!!!

  • I don't think it was a coincidence that she sang this particular song during that particular era..You can see it in her eyes..She's truly one of a kind, the best!

  • i love the low notes

  • SHE WAS SO CUTE AT O:22 ,WAT LOL !!!

  • i love this performance...very good vocals....

  • this was THE mariah era i just find it such a shame she was so unhappy during this time

  • One in a life time voice.. enjoy her while shes still around. Won't ever be another.

  • her voice is a once in a lifetime thing. enjoy her while shes still around.

  • uuuch,his version is like country hillbilly version!

  • like the singing here is as true for Tevez on the album

  • I Love this song man i cried before i had even saw the video the songs very emotional you can hear the crying in her voice on the album version so much emotion it...

    it made me ball out in tears when i saw her crying in the video clip shes such an inspiration my favourite mariah song in all time....

  • what a voice like no other, just amazing.

  • love the way she sings ths live in my opinion better thn the album version

  • when you heard the original version of this song and compare to this, you will think that there are two different singers singing this song.

  • she was so restrained on emotion on the debut. here she actually puts her emotion into it. which is why she goes lower in her register, it sounds better. Belting it would be like another Celine song. You want to feel the emotion from her.

  • But you know what, I could feel the emotion better in the studio version than this one.

  • Put it in also that she actually dislikes this song quite a bit. If she ever sings it, its for the fans. i think she put as much emotion into it as she could, as she just doesn't have that much passion for it compared to songs like "Vision of Love" and "Butterfly".

  • you really know her

  • miss the moments ken's and i watching and sang this song..

  • Perfect Mariah!

  • too bad she only sang this song during the daydream era and that was it because she never sang this song live even when it was released as a single because she felt this song didnt have a message and man i really love this song im just happy she at least performed it once live because it really is a beautiful song! the arrangement on this was magnificent

  • yeah I think it was mainly a treat for the audience because it did go to #1 hinting that a lot of people/her fans liked it. I think even though she didn't like it much she would do it considering the amount of success she had achieved from daydream, somewhat a thank you.

  • she actually sang this song on her music box tour, but it wasn't as vocally pleasing as this.

  • @BruDDahLeKii206 She sang this during the Music Box tour too.

  • sounds so ggooooodddddd

  • it was so great!!

    i just simply love her!

    go go go mariah!

  • That was funny. After she was like "I don't know, I'm American man!" She was like "Hehehehe!..oh" then she starts humming. XP"

  • I know I was surprised she could get back to her lower register :L

  • I found that suprising as well. But if you listen closely she is already laughing at that same note and register. Even her speaking voice has a rare quality.

  • Check out Mariah on Friday night project!!!!

    She is soooo funny!!!!!!!!!1

  • oh shut it up boi wtf she was trynna say something in a different language that she doesnt speak lmao you dumb

  • your stupid come on she is saying she is american not every american can speak japanese.

  • what is so wrong with saying "I Don't know. I'm an American man"???

    I'm Asian and I'm usually VERY sensitive when it comes to racist comments, but I just can't see what's so wrong with THAT. All she's saying is that she's American, so she doesn't know how to say that phrase correctly.

  • exactly fucking numpties don't know what's what

  • She had such a good voice!

  • thia was her when she was really good live

  • This song is amazing. Love it!!!

  • damn

  • this is her prime....

  • perfect love the high notes best selling artist ever

  • amazing i love her

  • WOW, just WOW!

  • WOW, just WOW!

  • WOW, just WOW!

  • WOW, just WOW!

  • better than the regine velazques!!

  • ur so stupid...mariah is queen and this is live...

  • u are more stupid LIL it seems you can't observe things which are reality.....moron look at her in the later part of this song particularly in 4:53 and you will see moron be observant!!!

  • its so sad that a retarted woman thing watever u are is so upset at me because an idiot like u can't tell that this is live...maybe the video has probably slipped up...but im not as ungrateful of talent like u...marih doesnt even sing like this on a record im mean like im pathetic enough to sit there and just stare googled eyed like the wierd person u are to find a mishap to resort to this queen lipsynching...seriously get a life and leave it alone its live..IDIOT! HAHAAHAHA!

  • the original had a more powerhouse vocal. no way in hell mariah would re-record this. she does not care for it much along with quite a few stuff she did on the debut album. it was mainly a treat for the audience.

  • @banjoebangti stupid stupid....it's a kind of mic that gets the sound of voice even when a little far from the lips....what you want her to do to prove it's not lypync? sing a line, narrate the other line, sing again the next line?

  • OMG..i love this performance..love the song..

  • E=MC2 THE SECOND COMING....

  • She was so pretty back in the day

  • I love this performance its better then the cd-version.But what happend to her voice she can't sing like this anymore but I still love her even when she's lost her voice.

  • She doesn`t lost her voice. Her voice is totally strained, she needs some vocal rest. But her voice still here.

  • I love this song and she sounds amazing live!!!!

  • I love this song cause she sings with her chest voice most of the time

  • Love this. This is my best performance of the song. I like this live version a lot better than the recorded version.

  • Her vocal ability is simply incomparable, but the most important: her voice is so soulful and beautiful.

  • amazing!

  • she is soooo fuckin funny in the beginning. i love her so much. her personality is great. :) she makes me smile.

  • she really does write and sing the best r&b ballads. that was a really terrific performance.

  • she has the perfect voice...wen i was a lil kid i used 2 listen 2 her songs and think it wasnt humanly possible 2 hit all those different notes, i used 2 think they used a robot as a stand in 2 sing them 4 her.lol

  • diva of divas !

  • Just amazing. One of the best voices in the known universe.

  • And that performance was terrific!!!I love U,Mimi!!!U r my best!!!

  • She didn't say "I'm an American men",she said "I'm an American,man"

  • PERFECT! i love when she actually doesn't lip sync!

  • LOL IM american..that was wrong but cute

  • Mariah will always be my favorite artist of ALL TIME.

  • what a quality of voice Mariah got,absolutely enchanting!What a gift from God she has..Fantastic!

  • this is her at her best she is very beautiful here before the big boobs and blonde hair she looks down to earth here

  • i love mariah she is the only best

  • "I don't know MAN, I'M AMERICAN!!" aahahaha love it!

  • "I don't know, I'M AMERICAN MAN!!" is what i meant to write!

  • LOL!! this performance is so great!! all her tokyo dome performances are almost perfect

  • mariah carey got her best voice, performance, looks and attire during 1995 and 96.... on her DAYDREAM times....

    though she does not sing as best as the way she used to, it's still a fact that no one in this planet ever sounds as good as her. she's simply the best.... absoulutely and undeniably....

  • LMAO that's it? Good one!

  • but whitney herself would never say shes better either. they both are great, and if you prefer whitney then thats your choice.

  • thats a very good way to put it, i agree

  • oh please mariah is way better than whitney and has outsold her too

  • that was the best performance I've ever heard by mariah but I think mariah can still sing like that it just depends on how much sleep she has had that day. mariah4ever

  • She can! I've heard her sing like this recently. And it DOES depend on how much vocal rest she gets...I really love this performance. In my opinion, this is her best performance of this song. I like it even better than the album version.

  • Oh my God! What a fabulous performance! That voice are simply unbelievable...truly, that woman owns the greatest voice in music history. Unconditionally.

  • Totally AGREED. :D

  • This was beautiful..I loved that little thing she did at the end of the song...With starting high then going lower and lower...Thanks for this.

  • same here love the ending dont know any other singer with such an amazing vocal range

  • I wish she could still sing like this LIVE!! I miss this MC and I never got to see her perform like this! Her last best vocal tour was CB Tour. Wonder if shes gonna sing away in the new album.

  • Neva seen her on tour or amything. ;:'(

  • Absolutly the best

  • i miss this mariah

  • i looooove this performenc for her

    it is so great, my favorite song from her to me

  • My favorite version. Better than all the others, including the recorded version.

  • The Best Performance...

  • "I dont know, Im American man!"

    lmao. Hilarious

  • i love u mariah

  • DANG! her low notes are so rich and beautiful and her high notes are just powerful! shes amazing

  • She is the best female singer of the ninetys, and also is the most powerfull voice thay i have ever heard . I love You Mariah. I am Venezuelan and one of your fans. Your talent is unique in the world. I love your whistle register. Only Minnie Ripertone and You god got this talent and gift.

  • Mariah can anytime in Live vocal be Impromptu so its very interesting Mariah sings LIVE.

    Mariah 1 n Only.

  • i prefer the original of course. but i like the way she altered it in the performace. she can alter it and make it sound good at the same time. unlike whitney. lord, she just kills the song live. its like shes singing a completely different song

  • i always liked Mariahs Live becos she can change or alter notes arrangements or even add new notes or vocal techniques of RnB to them all.

    Love it.

    CD not for me.

  • 1 of my fav songs. and she sounds sexy in japanese.lol

  • It's a fantastic performance. I was looking for this one but I have to say she changed it up to reach notes she can't anymore. But it's still fantastic nonetheless.

  • That's not true.. She might have changed the melody of the song a little. But she still hit the high notes that are staple to the song. If you notice the for the higher parts, she stuck with the original melody.. it was only in some of the lower parts that she changed it. This was back in 1996 before her voice got damaged.

  • how comes its lower?

  • i miss her old look i like her with dark hair and not any tanner i hate that tanner stuff and i like her with light skin shes beautiful the way she was

  • you seem to forget something she is not WHITE! she is mixed sometimes she is tanned and sometimes she isn't. in my opinion it's better if you can see her mix 'cause i hate when people think she is white and she hates to that's why she keeps tanning her skin!

  • I don't think Mariah needs to use tanner. I think she naturally gets much darker when she's beenin the sun due to heritage.

  • Her Japanese is so sexy. Well Mariah IS SEXY

  • OMG!!!  GREAT GREAT really 100%...she is givin her all...love MARIAH!!
