  • I'll always love Mariah Carey for her incredible talent. I know we all miss "this" Mariah, but come on; the woman gave us SEVEN incredible albums in the 90's with pretty much no mediocre songs on them, and 18 #1 singles (and counting). It's a testament to her talent that we all want her voice to remain a thing of wonder. I admire her astonishing career, and no other singer has given me that goose bump rush of euphoria as she belts it out. She's given us so much, we shouldn't complain.

  • wow her voice acts like a backing voice as well as lead.its her but it matched the background melody so ...just..wow, mariah ur the first singer i seen do that...

  • Mariah is the Best Singer in The World!!:PPP

  • 3:03 - 3:10 = awesome! :)

  • love how she says "let" at 3:18. so "rock-ified"

  • Comment removed

  • this is the reason why MARIAH STANS.. are BRAVE to say THAT LEONA FUCKING LEWIS HAS NOTHING ON MIMI.. LOL

  • best version

  • this is the mariah how i want to remember. so nice and amazing

  • listen to this performance alone, and your pretty much listening to every singers style today..

  • That hair! :)

  • I wonder if people knew what was going on in front of them. A star was being made and they witnessed it. 21 years later and she is STILL the biggest name in music. Mariah's talent is limitless and nobody can deny that. She is timeless and nobody will ever compare.simply amazing.

  • at 2:58 she belted "you don't need me" SO EFFORTLESS

  • Love the song, love the dress, love the hair... go Mimi!!! Mariah Forevah!!

  • S.M.H @ 3:20 U BETTA SANGGGGGG GIRL!!! UGH ITS SICKENING 2 HEAR HER VOICE...I WOULD DONATE A KIDNEY TO SEE HER LIVE!!!

  • imagine that this old mariah is the same as now...there would be no taylor swift nor miley cyrus nor lady gaga neither justin bieber!!! no offense!!!

  • imagine that this old mariah is the same as now...there would be no taylor swift nor miley cyrus nor lady gaga neither justin bieber!!! sorry but i think it's true...

  • She's a BEAST !! :)

  • i really like hearing when she say the "I" part of this song.. like "I.... can't escaped the pain" it sounds high and naturally smooth.. but when other sing that part it sounds flat and inconsistent..

  • Ah, the pre-plastic surgery and true talent days. She should have quit while she was ahead.

  • @coalminergroupie excuse me but mariahs face is natural her eyebrows are shaped different and make up changed as well as clothes and hair. maybe a lil injection. but never knifes.

  • Only Mariah can fix her hair and dry her nails while singing at the same time.

  • @IconVanity

    LMAO

  • at..1:51..what a voice..goosebumps...:D

  • Allah

  • she didn't even move in 2:56

  • Comment removed

  • try to watch Jonalyn Viray - LOVE TAKES TIME

  • notice she has male back ground singers... you be surprise at how high a males can go

  • did yall see Rick James in the back ground..

  • forgot how skinny she was

  • I love how even her backup singer is even captivated by her voice. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. I also love at the end how Mariah takes a sip. After a performance like that she can have a sip of anything that she wants :).

  • LOL???????????? Mariah always said that she had to dress down before her first emancipation in 1997 when she released butterfly, then she could get her clothes off, but that dress is as revealing as anything she wore after 1997... NOw how does that work?

  • mariah carey is undoubtedly the best female singer and the LEGEND female singer!!

  • i love her

  • The pureness of this performance, she's just so exquisite! You can really only compare her to Whitney and Celine, maybe Beyonce will get there, but seriously, are there any current artists who can actually "showcase" their talent at this level, I don't think so.

  • no one in in hour life time of anybody elses will there ever be such a talented singer and it the differnt highs and lows she can.freakin amazing no matter what any hatter says and she sooooo gorgeous back then.

  • no one in in hour life time of anybody elses will there ever be such a talented singer and it the differnt highs and lows she can.freakin amazing no matter what any hatter says

  • i like how she says "I"

    it sounds like shes singing the start of the note in the whistle register and then switching to normal voice realy quickly. and smoothly of course

    haha so strange.

    thats what it feels like anyway ,when i emulate it.

    i wonder what possesed her to do that. or maybe it just happened naturally.

    haha its pretty awesome.

  • @funnyfacerful meee tooooooo! i love it so much ahaha, it sounds so cool. i just play the song over and over again to hear that. and i think its just her natural voice does that its self. SOO AMAZING! hahah

  • this was great but you can tell her voice hadn't fully matured yet. Still a tiny bit shacky compared to the later years..

  • @Sall80 agree..if u listen to her back at1996 she sounds different...she was still working on her voice!!!!!incredible talent!!

  • Why doesn't everyone just record your own voice and then listen back to it 20yrs later and you're voice will have changed too, Xtina's, Beyonce's etc will sound different too. Aretha doesn't sound the same as when she was in her 20's she herself has stated that her weight effects her voice and there's a certain weight that she feels her voice was at her best, even a woman's monthly affects the vocals.

  • If Mariah's focus nowadays is her looks, Celine's focus has always been her chin :)

  • love mariah carey :)

  • ddeiana, you're right :)

    Anyway, Mariah had and has great voice and nobody can tell, that she can't sing now.

  • this has ALWAYS been my favorite song from her-----LOVE IT

  • well I think she makes America more and and more beautiful with her voice, a few like her in this world ,do what she does; and talk.

  • I don't know what happened to her.... I think now she still has talented, but her fame and moeny has gotten to her head that she's unreal now. She's obsessed with herself and can do so much more with her music and songwriting, but she doesn't. The woman can sing, no doubt....and even if her voice isn't like it was 20+ years ago, so be it....her music quality can be SO much better.

  • She looked so happy when she made that high note and in this performance overall.

  • Nick is lucky to have such a wife!

  • Man she is unbelievably gifted and so beautiful...Always love Mariah XXX

  • @tron19645 was unbelievably gifted and beautiful. was*

  • @goliaboi Maybe in your opinion but for me she still is :-)

  • Who Knew She'd Grow To Become The Queen Of Music! :)

  • i know i always think that

  • I feel so bad...call this music stupid, call it naive, but it really helps me to cry out all the tears i have got for the moment

  • queen of rnb i love you mariah best recording artist and song writer ever.

  • i love how that back up singer right next to her keeps looking at her and nodding his head and smiling lol

  • dat crowd seemed dead... i would have been on mah feet shouting and screaming!

  • LOL XD

  • lol. i'd be doing the same...but remember this was when she first came out, and it was like a "grown and sexy" kinda club setting, not a "concert" (like what she does now)...i think it'd be cool if she started doing performances like this again...all live band, no backing tracks, no lipping and give us a good show with the classics.

  • i agree

  • I miss this Mariah

  • People must have been wondering how could that shy and cute little girl have a voice like that.

  • shy.. :) she aint shy lol

  • She is still the best...

  • She looks so cute here! She sang the song perfect and she also gave great performances at the Tattoo Club

  • I love this song and love this performance. MC sounds so good here and the whistle note was just the icing on the cake. =)

  • In this performance u can see that no one can match her abilities. She can go low, does whispers, crazy runs, belt out notes in chest easily, and then the whistles, and the breath control, and her perfect pitch, and her powerful vibrato. And the amazing lyrics, written by herself. And that body, her face. She´s so unique, rare talent. Love her and I admire her as the best vocalist of all times.

  • Comment removed

  • @mcdamian17 That pretty much sums it up. Mariah is just the most gifted singer of all time.

  • @mcdamian17 Love Your Comment ;o)

  • I really missed the big hairdo's of Whitney and Mariah. There's just something about that hairstyle that is so compelling.

    This was a great performance. I've got nothing else to say. Haha

  • Holy hair that was just phenomenal

  • she's so beautiful and talented! love you Mariah!

  • She rocked it this night...my favortie song of the night was Dont play that song for me! She was great!!! Amzing!!

  • she was amazing then straight up flawless i love it!

  • She is so amazing!

    Her voice quality may have changed a bit now but she is still one the best ever.

  • CAN YOU FEEL EMOTIONS? Because I feel them!

    IMO The best performance of this song!

  • Eat that!!! Haha! Bravo! ddeiana couldnt have said it better!

    LOL! Randy Jackson and Trey Lorenz way back then! ;)

  • i love the voice

  • she is sooo amazing

  • people... this was 20 years ago! get over it, no one could ever, ever keep that kind of voice for 20 years. Whitney couldn't, Celine couldn't, even Cyndi Lauper (listen to her even a few years ago) cannot reach the same notes as clearly as she used to. Maria Callas, the list goes on. It's called Nature.

    My god, you should just enjoy her music the way she can sing now, because she will never, ever sing like this ever again. If you don't like her music now, or her voice now, find another hobby!!

  • Yeah as time goes on, economy changes, fashion changes, even music changes.

  • callas....

    OMG!!!

  • That's true. I'm just glad we have so much footage from when she had this voice. Because I can't enjoy her music now. For me it's not so much her losing her voice, it's that the quality of her songs is just not good.

  • Look ddeiana, your right, as time goes, the voice changes but there are many ways it can change. As you sad, celine cant reach the same notes, but look for song like 'i love you more' from this year or the last one, taken by amateur camera. That's not the original key, but still AMAZING.

    In the other hand, we have whitey. The saddest thing i've ever seen in music. In 'I look to you' she can't reach the keys on the STUDIO version, and the live one is pathetic

  • Thats 'cause whitney went drugs and destroyed her voce. Almost this we have in mariah, and I agree, if you don't like the songs she sing now, find other singers you enjoy, but see this video and the """""""""""""""live"""""""""""­"""" performances os "bye bye" and songs like that is just revolting.

    Someone with a gift like that should be punished when destroes it.

  • @ddeiana Have u ever listened to Celine Dion new stuff? man, she hits notes higher than before.... Recall: map to my heart (studio recording)and many other more!!!

  • @ddeiana Barbara Streisand can still do it! And Celine can still do it too! The difference is that while they may be Divas, they are focused on their music as opposed to their appearance.

  • @yb15

    Celine lips and Barbra's songs aren't as demanding as Mariah's, neither are Celine's for that matter. And Celine was much more careful not to ruin her voice, so she traveled with a throat doctor, which is a bit extreme. It's normal for a voice to decline, as Celine's has to an extent, but usually not as noticeably as Mariah's.

  • @ddeiana & Honestly speaking, her singing now is still damn good. sure she has bad performances sometimes, but There will never be a voice as great as Mariah Carey, 1990s Mariah or 2000s Mariah

  • @ddeiana this is so true. these wonderful artists are humans. not machines. don't expect them to sing like they used to whenever you wanted them to. anyway you can always enjoy their "peak" by watching their live performances here.

  • @ddeiana its true but maria callas lost her voice because she was singing OPERA from the age of 12 :) plus she died at 52 so her voice and body must have been aging rapidly.

  • @ddeiana agree

  • @ddeiana You Speak Loads Of Truth... Love Her Or Leave.. 20 years and some artist have like one top forty hit and disappear... she is MARIAH. Never Be Another..

  • @ddeiana

    tuh blood.. well said

  • @ddeiana lol actually I know of a singer who can =P her name is Shirley Bassey. but yeah you're right for the most part, it' just nature; there are some exceptions though.

  • @ddeiana

    I agree with that you are saying but I think that Celine has kept her voice strong and powerful. It doesn`t sound like how it sounded 20 years ago but it`s just different, it`s not worse in my opinion. At this moment Mariah and Whitney could not be compared to Celine. As much as I adore Mariah, she is my fave singer of all time, she has just lost it...and I think that it`s partially her fault...

  • @IvyDiva mariah is much better then nasal celine.

  • @ddeiana Celine could though.

  • so amazinggg

  • simply - I L-O-V-E HER!!!!!

    THANK YOU 4 Everything Mariah!!!!

  • she is a diva

  • WOW she is amazing..

  • Mariah was killing it!

  • wow!!!!! eres lo mejor de lo mejor

  • this one combined with Can't Let Go are definitely mariah's hardest tracks ever!!!and can only when back in the old days she dare to do it live.

  • if it's over is really difficult aswell and emotions infact i don't there has ever been an easy Mariah song

  • If It's Over is song written intendedly to show her ability though it sounds difficult.

  • And how do you know that that's why it was written?

  • just my imagination :)

  • Get a grip

  • true!

  • I believe this was in NYC but I doubt it's gonna still exist after like almost 20yrs. But who knows.

  • Amazing....Amazing.. The Best ever. Love you Mimi..

  • its so weird how she is sing for a little crowd and now look at her. She is a legend now

  • there was supposed to have little people if it's a "club", but yeah, Mariah deserves crowds and crowds of audiences.

  • Tell me how to stop the rain - tears are falling down endlessly...

  • thats my fav lyric from the song

  • omg! definitely goosebumps!

  • goosebumps

  • she can hit the lowest note and the highest. she's my only one. the true singer.

  • ONE AND ONLY MARIAH CAREY.

    she whistles effortlessly! AMAZING! :)

  • espectacular!!! the best Mariah

  • Amazing performance! Especially 3:03 is absolutely incredible! It´s quite hard going from low to that high without breathing. And she did it with ease! Believe me there are not many singers who can do that.

  • Oh my God! AMAZING

  • god shes bueatiful who new a young star would go on this long

  • diva only diva i luv u

  • She is amazing!

  • In this video,she's look like Hermione. XD

  • hahahaha thats true

  • I love her! Look at her voice! Her hair was fantastic!

  • Another Classic Mariah. This is what we miss. but thank God she is going back to her roots on the new album. She's back with Walter.

  • Really? Where did you heard this from?

  • follow Mariah on twitter. she discusses all that there. She's been in the studio for a few weeks now.

  • Thank you for Youtube. We all need to watch the old Mariah's performaces. What a voice and raw talent.

  • I love mariah Carey so much dat no mattr what she do i will be behind hur a 100%..but yea so what dat hur voice is not at its best now...she still the numbr female selling artist of all time..n kan still blow me away wit hur whistle register

  • I miss Mariah so much !! She seems like a totally different person now. She doesn't even sing anymore. What happened ??? She needs to remember what made her famous in the first place, AMAZING performances like this, showing her true, raw talent.

  • She couldn't sing live much better than before like this one.. Because she abused her health by having concert tour around the world sleeplessly and tirelessly.. she should have preserved her voice more than ever..

  • Perfeita.

  • yesss i love 3:28 too

  • She was so less "all-mannered" at that time. Though I defenitly love her voice, I can't stand anymore what she has become as a woman...

  • that hign note was fuc***g perfect

  • amazing vocals..i realyy love this song

  • A-mazing!!!!! love when she sings ti-i-i-ime! @ 3:28! the absolute Queen! Mariah Carey! we're so blessed 2 have her ! haters STFU!!! she shits on u !digg that!;)

  • but she wasn't married at the time of this performance (1990)

  • i think she just performed good period. tommy or not. she said before that he held her back musically. tommy is just a boss at this point anyway. that asshole (IMO)

  • Do you think Mariah can still sing live if she didn't marry her big boss, I believe into the power of Karma!!

  • i love this girl!! HER VOICE JUST INSPIRES MY LIFE!!

    YOU SHOULD WATCH THE MOVIE "WISE GIRLS" SHE'S GREAT ON THAT ROLE!

  • dis song is beautiful

  • so much hostility in these in comments can we plz just watch and enjoy a video by a fucking fantastic singer? geesh

    oh dnt bite my head off anybody if my spelling isn't up 2 ur standards. anyways, great vid

  • look how thin she is

  • on AMERICAN IDOL she was very close to this body(april 2008)

  • the face wasnt. i miss her old style looks...

  • Too amazing for words.

    Seeing her sing live, brings me joy.

    Hahaha.

    I sound corny, but it's true!

  • "unlike this one trying hard..very obvious " hahha you don't know nothing about singin... only an ignorant could say that... and regine doesn't even exist between mariah and whitney

  • bla bla bla...you want to correct my spelling?. Well, first correct yours, 'cause is "her" not "here" you fucking asswhole!!! lol!. And about the racist comment, well only an ignorant like you could say that, and compare Regine to Whitney and Mariah. Poor stupid thing.

  • You are correct when it comes to the silly comments here about the karaoke queen rigimine

    I have and never ever hear anything about her.. only when i came to youtube.

    with all her bacara fans.. youtube needs to add fliters so i dont have to watch MC and have to read idiocies...

    if riginime thought mariah was beneathe her she would not try to sing and butcher all her songs. get real people.

  • rigimo or whatever you are talking about is the most unoriginal karaoke late night tv show rediculous excuse for a singer.

    we know her stupid name because you people who think she is so good are here watching THE TRUE ORIGINAL. or else you would not be here.. lol

    get serious, rigomoem or whatever is NO one and never will be when it comes to song writing, making history in the music business and leaving a legacy when it comes to music.

  • face it, it's SAD kakroke with a bad accent. she sounds like a wanna be and always will. she should leave mariah's songs ALONE.

    PS. if the only argument you have is about typo's and grammatical errors you are as sad and rediculous as the comment fillipinos make here when they are HERE obviously watching for a reason. : )

    you love it and cant get enough...

    unless you actually have nothing better to do and are like 12 years old.

    which are you?

  • Esse especial Live at Tattoo Club

    e muito bom mesmo,a voz incrivel epoca boa essa pena eu so ter 1 ano nessa epoca rsrsrs

    Don't Play That Song For Me e a melhor da noite voz poderosa ate me arrepio!

  • I agree! She was amazing up there and She looks absolutely beautiful, She definitely deserved a standing ovation or at least a louder round of applause..

  • i dream to make 3 chilren with meri i love her i realy do.

  • 2:52

    You might say, you don't miss me, you don't need me but I know that you do and I feel that you do in-si-iiiiide!

    wow... much beauty and power...

  • Ohhh wow!!

    amazing voice..

    but she's not like this anymore..

  • is it me or is the audience dead that deserved a standing ovation "!

  • And another thing, does anyone know if there is a DVD version available here in North America? I know shes released a DVD version in Japan but unfortunately, its not compatible with the DVD players here in North America. If anyone knows could you let me know, thanks.

  • I was just wondering, I bought the VHS version of this and it contained everything it was suppose to contain except for her Vision of Love and Love Takes Time performances. Why is that? I mean did she release two versions of this video or something?
