  • I LOVE U MARIAH SO MUCH, THEN AND NOW, I MAKE NO DISTINCTION UR THE BEST

  • Mariahs range @ 2:12 is simply amazing. Her range is still unmatched. My queen until the end of time.

  • MARIAH IS PATTI S GOD DAUGHTER FOREVER!!!!!

  • mariah is fine. i love to hear her sing live. she has not done that in years. and when you say she "writes". well, you need to know what that means. does she play an instrument? a piano or guitar? NO. patti broke some ground back in the day and she is a wonderful vocalist. mariah. well. she married the head of her label after one album and then divorced. anyone remember that? what is she doing now? raising dem babies.

  • SHE HAS HER OWN STYLE SHE IS COLD BLOODED WHEN SHE WANT TO BE ..I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SING MORE SONGS FROM BACK IN THE DAY ..

  • Damn !!! Mariah did that !!!

  • Her musical genius remains unmatched-atleast in her generation.

  • Her runs and riffs are just astounding !

  • I miss you Martha!!

  • The video effects suck ass. Boo.

  • Mariah Carey can't sing like Mariah Carey anymore!! Sad!

  • beautiful woman beautiful voice- everything 100% beautiful!

  • are you kidding mariah is the BEST point blank!!!...no one has soul like her!

    BEAUTY and cmon shes a beautiful freak of nature with that killer 8 octave voice..and she has tha best gamms n the biss!!!.just sayin still tha best and always will be!

  • What version of Over the rainbow is this?

    Is it an original Mariah composition or a cover, particularly near the end?

  • @308734029

    Her ending was a tribute to Patti's version of the song! Sliding up the scale like that at the end is one of Patti's vocal trademarks especially on Over The Rainbow.

  • GURL!!!! That hair is a mess! Fire your stylist at once! Good Lord!

  • Her voice is incomparable, so good to hear it. And it was not in her best days, remember she had some trouble with her voice in 1998.

  • 'loved the vintage effect,,,  :)

  • One of my favourite Mariah performances! The voice, the emotion. Brilliant performance!

  • don't know what's the big deal about mariah's high notes. they may be impressive in the studio but they are nothing special live. patti's high chest register would kill mariah any day. nice performance though

  • @MrSoulshock4444 have u seen her live? they are freakin amazing!!!

  • go girl..bring that classic to life

  • That run at 1:50 is sickening!!!

  • is this the 1st comment ? WOWZA

  • She puts so much emotion into this performance. Beautiful! And who the fuck said Mariah can't hold notes but Whitney can? WTF is that about? Do you even know who Mariah Carey is?!

  • It's so hard to listen. She struggled so much.

  • Mariah sounds nothing like this now..

  • @raheimk actually she does..IF SHE WANTS TO..

  • I hate when she goes low it makes me cringe

  • why when she goes low ??? how bout when she goes high ??

  • @jake27990 She's the best down there, what are you talking about?

  • I looove this performance.

    Luk at her runs/riffs...amazing!

    I love the part 'caaa...n't I' lol - I think it is wayyy better than judy garland.

    I'm so proud I listen to her and Whitney and that I acknowledge Great music.

    Kudos to Whitney, Mariah and me....lol

  • i Love Queen Mariah Carey!

  • what to frack is  Regine ???? !!!

  • I've never been a huge fan of how Mariah presents herself as a sort of Penthouse Centerfold, but I've come to appreciate her musical genius. I mean c'mon girl writes her own music & lyrics, she has perfect pitch, she finds notes that nobody else hears, and she puts on a decent show. I think she's earned her spot. Props Mariah.

  • i liked it

  • 0:51 - 1:10 gave me chills. TEAM MARIAH!

  • fuckk all the haters

    Mariah is the best

  • das right! kiss my ass ALL u Haters, MiMi IS THE ONE AND ONLY!

  • @MiMiFanx3  yes she is. love you mariah f-u haters

  • Haha! U aint lying!

  • Comment removed

  • just remember.. your watching a MARIAH CAREY video tryina speak about Regine. lol sad. Clearly MARIAH CAREY is the forced to be f*cked with dahling!

  • I feel bad for you that you have to go on mariah's videos talking about this person that i don't even know about...............

  • TRULY THE BEST!!!! And stop putting Whitney on the way, she's great too, but MC IS THE ONE AND ONLY.

  • juste sublime et magnifiquement bien interprété le morço , une "real Diva" , The Voice

  • :D mariah still on the game :) and that's it :) only true :)

  • LEGEND

    i love you mariah

    she is the queen of music <3

  • I miss this Mariah!!! I think she is having a mid life crisis thing! Foreal! But I loves me some Mariah Carey!

  • Comment removed

  • sing mariah

  • This is one of my favourite performances of hers. She absolutely kills both of the songs. That's wat u call talent.

  • mariah I love her deep however she sings hip hop songs now because in 2009 her voice is damaged due to what I don't know but listen to

    the vision of love album through the butterfly albums. when you get to the charm bracelet album you then begin to hear slowly the vocal decline. thank god that on hip hop you don;t need much voice or she would be finished.

    love you mariah - but whitney is back - long live the queeen!

  • Mariah sang back in 2005 on BET Blueprint "Vision of Love" live. She changed it up and everything. I think it sounds better than the original. It is a lot more soulful than the stuff she usually does. Check it out here on Youtube. i think you will like it.

    Whitney does have a lot of good songs on her album. There are several that could be singles that I think would do better than the ones she has released. I understand why she released the ones she has, though.

  • uhm whitney may be back but mariah never left..dont make such a big deal out of the whitney vs mariah thing..theyre both GREAT. end of story

  • MARIAH TORE Over the Rainbow up!

    I wish she would just sing all these rnb classics. I love it. She and Patti. It dont get much better than this!

  • Mariah's voice is not soulful enough nor does it have the "pulp" to sing this kind of music.

  • I agree. I think her voice is too soft. Patty is one of a kind and has a voice that is stronger than an earthquake. Mariah has a beautiful sound, just not as powerful as Patty.

  • No, I put Mariah before Patti because Patti is a screamer.

  • yes but this was a phenomenal performance

  • Hater.

  • beautiful, i wanna c her live!

  • 0:52 wow..just wow...go MC!

  • Somewhere over ....from Missan and Majsan....

  • Some ppl like different vocal styles. I peersonally can't listen to Patti more than a minute it gets annoying...

  • I know she didn't lip.... Someone always says she does no matter what performance

  • great vocals... just waiting for someone to say she lipped... f-ing haters

  • no, not here. you can always tell when she lips. Here its all live. She lipped more after 2002

  • at 0:53 she REALLY sounds like Labelle

  • i wish her boobs was still original like this one, because it's enough size i think!!!...and her body still thin but when she implant her boobs her body was growing up also...but id still love her..(",

  • Its very obvious she had that hairdo to honor Patty.. Patty, during her days, always had the outrageous hairdo.. hehehehe.. Love u BOTH>>

  • love mariah but don't like the poofie hair style lol

  • still #1 Mariah.....i love this

  • no it's whitney!

  • I like Mariah more when she was humble looking and not wearing all the skimpy clothes. But she has a great voice!!

  • i miss this mariah when her songs were songs and not just whispering on the track

  • i miss this mariah when her sexiness was sexy and not just a trashy look to sale records lol

  • AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN

    can I get an AMEN???

  • ROTFL.... true

  • why? this performance is amazing!!

  • i agree naxxo0! it is AMAZING!!!

  • I remember seeing this live and I tell you it gave me chills and still it did the same today when I saw it! Mariah is truly a great vocalist and I had the chance to see her up close and hear her sing live. She was in awesome voice and she has a strong loving and sweet spirit about herself that I rarely see with celebrities. I wish her the greatest personal happiness one can see daily on this planet! Love you my great lamb Mimi!

  • I miss this Mariah!

  • love mariah!!!! fucken awsome thank you god

  • MARY SINGING SINGING THE VERSION THAT ALWAYS DOES IT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, THAT VERY FEW if nobody did, MARIAH THE BEST.

    JAY2BFRANK ( thanks for your honest and perfect criticism i did not have the breath to wast on these haters

  • haters all just a bunch of haters she did her thing so get over it haters lmao

  • i really love mariah here.

  • bbbee26

    Do you know that Kyla's version of "somewhere over the rainbow" was a complete copycat from Pattie Labelle's? all of it including the "tiny little bird" part. What does that tell you? Yup NO originality unlike Mariah's which is her own.

  • I just looked up who this Kyla is.... and are u kidding me? LOL

  • kyla is a mariah copycat

  • I have all mariah cds. I love her voice,but certain but,every song isn't for every body.This is one of them.Pattie has a clear smooth sharp ,yet strong voice mariah broken up vocals didn't compliment her songs.I love Mariah but songs like this are for true soulful singers.

  • How do you compare this version, then, to Judy Garland's version? :-)

  • I have the same feeling aswell , i fnd myself defending mariahs honer onhere alot but her talent does speak louder than words even i you did not like mariahs ability and the agility she has in her voice th control,emotion godess that is all i have to say peacex james liverpool,england

  • some people on here are just unqualified critics - ppl on youtube who think they know music..anyone from any country of any language would agree that this women is a great singer

  • Perfectly said.

    It's hilarious when people try and demean MC's singing ability, when her talent speaks for itself...

    She's not one of the most successful artists of alltime for nothing. She's amazed not just fans, but critics aswell, which ofcourse is the reason she was given names such as "The voice" and "Songbird". The people she's influenced to become singers are countless aswell.

    Sure, her voice is on the decline now, but even then, she can still outsing most singers with ease.

  • indeed!

  • WHY THE FUCK ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WATCHING THIS AND TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS IS WHEN SHE WAS LOSING JER VOICE OR HOW SHE CANT SIN LIKE BEFORE?

    Mariah carey can lose more than half her voice and will still be better then any singers out there today.

    this performance was vocally amazing and no other artist could or can compare !

  • exactly!!!

  • Thats right!!!... this is so beautiful and extraordinary it put Patti in tears!!!!

  • the three greatest was in patti's tribute..

    whitney who present the award to patti , mariah performed her song , and celine one of the audience..

  • Had Mariah sung this song in her early days, she would have been way better, her style of singing changed, she used to have skill and ability and of course a more soulful sound, liste to If it's Over the live performances and you'll see what I mean.

  • true

    her voice start beign really scratchy in the honey era.

    but this was still good

  • Don't know what anyone sees this woman, she's spectacularly average. I find her vocal acrobatics tedious. Sure she's got a great range but it leaves me cold. I could name a hundred black american female vocalists from the last 30 years who are much much better singers, and not just obvious names like Patti Labelle. There's so much better out there. She can SAANG but she can't sing.

  • this was when she was in vocal decline as well as commercial decline...it wasnt bad Patti was the first to stand...and Mariah in the early 90's lol no one could compare with the exception of Whitney Houston so idk what your talking about

  • these other women dont have her level of success because they dont have her level of talent. remember she is not just the most influential vocalist of the last couple decades but she is a great writer and producer. no disrespect to other great singers but talent wise Mariah is the whole package, there really is nothing average about her.

  • Fair and constructive response to my somewhat heated comment. Sorry, like most people I have strong opinions about the music I like. BUT, have you heard any of the singers I'm talking about? I'll happily post some links. And i really disagree about judging music purely by sales rather than judgement/informed opinion. Quite often the most successful appeals to the lowest common denominator and is the most well promoted etc. Anyway, running out of words. Happy Christmas!

  • I am familiar with most of the singers you mentioned and agree that they are great singers also. I agree with you that sales have no bearings on talent whatsoever (i mean Britney has sold more records than Aguilera and from a vocal standpoint they shouldnt even be in the same sentence). Many amazing artists fall by the wayside unfairly and it makes me mad when i think about it...

  • ...I guess lets just be thankful that we have discovered those not as successful but still phenomenal artists and singers so we are able to enjoy their music even though most of the world doesnt know about them. You know, how sad would it be if we didnt even know about them but we do and we are able to enjoy their gifts if you will. Anyways, Happy Holidays to you also!

  • @nialldcrowley It's just so hilarious to have read that Patti Labelle is a better singer than Carey.When Patti can even display an iota of Carey's musicianship then can we even consider talking about this.Otherwise,it will be a blind stan war.

  • @nialldcrowley lol..mariah carey, like her or not is an international icon, she is known globally as a voice that pretty much sums up the last 2 decade...really I love patti but come on..Mariah Carey is seriously famous, its pretty fantastic...from russia to beirut to brazil to japan to india to london to nyc...

  • @Retrodaydream So what, she's famous? So was Adolf Hitler.

  • That's soul! See Patti being moved!!!

  • Dang speachless she sang that with some soul.

  • What if Patti,Aretha,Whitney,Celine and all the other legendary divas..will sing Mariah's song for a tribute..will they can make it note by note or even much better note like what Mariah did in thier songs?

  • Aretha did sing hero. Look for it on youtube; one big problem is that she doesn't even compare. sorry to say that about aretha but she sounded kareoke.

  • Yeah i did watch it...and i even prefer to mariah's worst version of hero than Aretha...Aretha is the queen of soul but for me no soul at all in her version of hero...Mariah is just too humble to sing for others tribute...shes not even think that she is a legend as well...successful than them...gifted than them...superb than them...and prettier than them

  • I know... that is what you would call... deserving (of everything she has and will recieve in the future)

  • Princesscandy won't you be my sweetheart ohh yeahh babe babe babe yeahhhhh we can a moment for romance, sweeeeeiiiieeeeetttheaaaaarttt­tt yeah yeah yeah I put it the Mariah way and VOTE OBAMA!!!

  • I voted a week ago. I'm still a big Mariah fan. and thanks for the comment.

  • she sounded really good to me

  • Mariah can't sing this song!!!!!! she sounded anemic!

  • Actually, she's asthmatic.

  • BUDDYJA r u deaf! Obviously u r if u cant hear how great she sounded. Please keep ur useless comments to urself! An u obviously dont no wat bein anemic is otherwise u wouldnt have used that word so instead of bein on youtube enrol back into school or if ur already in school...attend all ur lessons!

  • I'll say what I want to say! To me, she sounded thin and her voice was not good on this song. She can't handle the sheer energy of the song. She should stick to singing things that are pseudo-hip hop!

  • As I said Buddyja...ur deaf! Sheer energy??? Gimme a break! This lets me no further u have no idea wat ur talkin bout! hahahahaha An as for pseudo-hip hop (i see u been scannin the thesaurus) her music is classed as pop! So please keep my advice, its free, keep it schtum!

  • I agree with u.. Mariah was doing this bf she embraced the pop scene and she does this so much better.. She can SAANG no matter what she is singing.

  • I don't don't think you know one thing about singing!

  • True, but this was at the time of her vocal fall.

  • The Queen,The Soul,The Heart,The One,The Voice,The Suffering,The pain n struggle.....THE LOVE>>>Mariah Carey!!!

    ya'll haters stfu! u dunno shit about Mariah!!!so fuck off dick suckerz!!!

  • mariah mariah mariah...just when i thought the last one was your best performance, you go and do something like this...luv ya

  • best voice 4ever

  • the best performance, u americans shud enjoy her because when she goes, who will u have>? britney? pussy cat dolls? fucking fools shes the best a legend ovrtaken elvis ad soon the beatles, fucking bitches

  • Look at that..Mariah even made Patti cry, that's what I'm talking about. I love this performance.

  • She's one of Patti's favorites. Patti requested Mariah for this.

  • Well sweetie, the sad thing is this business has maybe become to much bling bling, superficial and empty, but it is for certain Mariah has a great charisma and a unique voice, and true she's been in the business 20 years and still she performs great.We're rough sometimes, sorry about that since I must tell you I really love her songs, but listening to her is a pain in the ass as qhe does not have that much to say take care

  • Mariah is the Greatest!! period.

  • I agree that this was a great performance from Mariah. She was relaxed and feeling the song. Pity nowadays she's too worried about touching her body and show off her figure instead of her voice. Oh wait...she has no voice left!

  • that's because Mariah is actually insecure. It's like she needs to do what she does otherwise people will not find her sexy enough or something. And always showing only on particular side of her face etc.

    Beautiful performance though!! sung with so much emotion!

  • That is true...however, it's also true that her voice is shot to death.

  • well thats what usually happens when u are one of the great singers with worldwide phenom and performing your ass off...u know she paid her dues...shes one of the greatest voices of all time.

  • You fanatics should quit giving her pathetic excuses.Patti LaBelle,for instance,has a career of almost 50 years, performing MUCH more than Mariah and her voice is still going strong.So no,that's no excuse.She sung above her real capabilities,thus,why she lost her voice.However,she doesn't try to make it better either.Oh and no,she's not one of the greatest voices of all time.Quit the magalomania.She was good indeed but to say she's like one of the top greatests of all time is plain ignorance.

  • Your correct she wasnt the greates She ISS THE GREATEAST SINGER ALIVE ignnorant assss no one in music business has the range of this woman and she still has her voice just look at her fly like a bird performance on idol gives back or her other performances

  • Please, just like all of her FLAB performances...they were partially lipped.

    Besides, when you learn to correctly spell get back at me. ;)

  • hater fall back it was a error everone makes them however u are a gramatical error and Flab ya daadi n e way can u do the things she could do with her voice um fuck no ok so stop bringing her down ignorant bytch and oh im allergic to haterz ( YOU)

  • Wow! No need to stop being a lady! LOL! At least you're entertaining. Anyways, I don't need to bring her down...she's doing a fine job at doing that herself.

  • im not a ladi u ediot and oh u doing a fyne job bringing ya self down to lol wait oh u was never anything to be brought down ha .....is that the best that u can do lol tss

  • Sorry, you sounded like a lady (again, spell correctly next time) on PMS. Oh well, then you're just another lil' queer worshipper of Mariah. Good luck on getting out of her ass, I heard it's hard to get out once you're in so deep...

  • cant u see i talk like that and i aint no fuckin queer i just like mariah carey so is it a crime to like people
