Mariah Carey - Can´t Take That Away live

[kenneththecompunerd]

This was absolutely perfect and totally live. Just like the album version. You can tell it's live all the way, since the very begining (on the CD there's another "Mmmh"on 0:35) to the last runings on "brigthly" (coz she was out of breath). It's really hard but she made it just like on the CD

[MrTybo92]

Amazing, so amazing,...thank Mariah.

[sueyenwills]

best singer in the world

[rodneyp08]

this is breath taking !

[2baduel]

she's PERFECTTTTTTTT 

[LJARoon]

what year was this anyone? ? Perfect performance!

Why do performers become all Coy as they get older? I dont und? They have so much money they could rule the world yet eventuallythey then want the life of a nobody when they are so good?! Mariah you will ALWAYS be fab and we love you. PLEASSSSE tour in UK :-) Xx

[MarianRentaVEVO]

god DAMN she ate that......wow...that ending was superb.

[seneijashuu]

4:00 she is TOTALLY out of breath.. pushing the last out with her diaphragm

well done

[GCassa94]

The runs at the end are not live..Mariah I hate you when you do things like thus!

[99heartbreaker99]

@GCassa94 oh my gosh man ppl like u kill me so fcking UNGRATEFUL.

[Gabformariah1985]

PERFECT !!!

[newhotmailit]

effortless !!! simply stunning!!!

[DanielAvilaAGT]

sighs... this is how I feel right now. thank you Mariah for inspiring us all and giving us faith or for some, re-finding faith

[davidchubo]

OMG this must be the only performance she didn't alter the last chord and sung the original version!

this is awesome!!!

[ZbmwM5]

This is live. If anyone knows the song off the album.... you can hear subtle differences. And you can also see her neck muscles moving when she is belting.... the truth is, she's just amazing. She is THAT good.

[willcer234]

GOD I LOVETHISSONG:]

[alexvoleii]

O vídeo tá péssimo, Mariah ótima, como sempre!

[Ahgwenas]

i strongly believe she's gonna break the record!

[MCZASTRO]

[ACsingsBlues2010]

This is totally live. She's waving her hands like a lunatic here. It's very Live...

[jamm210]

[lsaturn01]

[XoVStar]

[valthaa]

Im a huge fan who but often notices that Mariah lips her songs...BUT this is Oh so 100% LIVE!!!! she is that good! she still is!!!

[astrompeta]

The Supreme Songbird

[kelseyandalexis]

DAmn she is amazing here!! what happendd? I love her but she is not as great as a singer now as she was then...Wow just amazing and i love this song!

[bryl17]

evrytime she sings this live, her phrasing is soo off! mimi shud try makin' less difficult songs, b coz even she cnt justify it well, especially in her current vocal condition

[BBQJester]

@bryl17 it only sounds off to you because you are deaf.

[apocalypsis7]

its live...you can see her berserk...she's not good at lipping...

[gordiam]

she was so slim!!!!!

[MySoulBelongsToMusic]

definetley live.. there are some parts which sound different and aren't perfect, which would never cut it for HER quality of album recordings

[eggbytes05]

THIS IS LIVE IDIOTS!

[Gigikiray2009]

i love you mariah

[socrates09876]

def the best performance of this song! she's amazing and this was shortly before the "breakdown" too.

[SingerWriterProducer]

Mariah is the best singer songwriter and producer in the world. There will never be another Mariah Carey. Everyone go get her new Album "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" it's her best yet!

[Kyuu17]

this is one of my favorite song....it's just unbelievable that i still remember the lyrics pretty well.

[imsofucingtired]

I love her

[locoliomelenudo]

i love song

[keryssaApril]

u know it doesnt matter to fans who love her dearly for all the inspirations she has given us the strength the motivation she tries to render to us through her songs it doesnt matter if she can perform as she used to we should appreciate her especially when shes still alive ...mariah thanks for all that positiveness u try to instill in us to fight thru the storms

[moranlevi]

gosh you are so right. Nice writing it was.

[iluvmylay]

btw its SOOO live in the ending of all the power notes , her veins are literally popping out of her neck ! lol god bless you mimi <33

[iluvmylay]

amazing performance , live indeed.

This song is SOO inspiring.

[ikasupreme]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[natalnagirl]

I really love this song, very inspiring!

[xxxoOoNinAoOoxxx]

woold is she? 26?

OMG every song i listen of hers its an amazing singer

[fontenayperi]

she must be 29 on this vid. it's from the rainbow album released in 1999

[jonaschung]

gosh, she looks like she did for the Open Arms video taped for MTV. So beautiful

[tokelakadu]

oh my golly!!! such an awesome vocal ability! very artistic! truly no one else comes close....

[thejugler27]

this song is for the haters

[1dreamlover1]

i love mariah and this song but i hated her hair during the rainbow era...it looks like she just woke up and got on stage all the time...nothing done to it and sometimes it even looks like it needs a wash...hahaha...my favorite hair time was during emancipation era

[Jordypoo4]

Really i love her hair in this video?

[abdellah1000]

coz she's showing simplicity and peace but you're right..

[ebsalmighty]

mariah carey, oh my, if she just been like this, simple, clean and not so commercial...she could have been my all time fave

[davidchubo]

the best performance of this song!

its NOT lip!!!!

its LIVE

[snw4bordr20]

this is by far the best live performance of this song. It's exactly like the recording

[DanielAvilaAGT]

very close! expet for some inflictions and such, but its better than the recording, in a way...

[tvARTUR]

isnt it the one on GMA?

[hollywoodcokewhore]

lol u can tell from the ending me its not all the way live..she never 100% sings a song live....even then

[1dreamlover1]

u have lip synching confused with having a backing track...lip synching means the mic is off and the singer mims...having a backing track in some parts is just to create an echo and a double layering of the verse as wat mariah does for her cds all the time...and all singers use back tracks

[hollywoodcokewhore]

mariah part lips and part sings live. her performances are pieced together through click tracks. shes done it since the late 90s. usually the climaxes to her songs are always lipped.

[1dreamlover1]

do u understand how complicated that would be and how easly there can be mistakes...u r sadly mistaken...she usually has a back track along with her singing but does lip sometimes tooo

[heyto]

Apparently it isn't that difficult these days because Mariah does it all the time. In Mariah's last era she only sang completely live once and that was on Touch My Body performed live on SNL.

[1dreamlover1]

i was refering to the person saying part lipped and part live...these days she sings along with a back track at parts and alone at others...not lip parts and sing others...

[iluvmylay]

not true .

[MCFan20000]

I hate when ppl generalize and state things as if they were facts......I admit she lip synched a lot last year, but you cant state things like that....I think her fly like a bird performance on idol was also completely live, the same applies to her bye bye performances on idol and oprah........you cant say things you dont know for sure as if they were facts

[heyto]

It doesn't matter if you hate it or not because it is the truth, I've been a fan of Mariah since the beginning and I won't bother to waste my time with ignorance. Watch all of her performances and compare them for yourself, if you still think all of what she is singing is live then fine, but don't go telling me what I should or should not say. I can say what I want whenever I choose to say it, and if you just happen to be offended then tough.

[hollywoodcokewhore]

she does both. part with the backing tracks AND the part lip part live. shes done it throught this entire decade

[joemyu]

what i like about Mariah's voice is that, it's almost identical to the studio recorded versions of her song.. the only difference i think is the breatheing.. hehehe..

[OKzs]

Looks good - love this song!

[pipmilmol]

She is amazing and i don't care if she lip synced cause i know she is still amazing

[angelotujuh]

i agree...

[DanielAvilaAGT]

even though she didn't lip

[betbetty]

Shut the fuck up you all haters!!!!!this is so live!!!!!

[mariahemc2]

i love this song the lyrics so tocuhing mariah is the best

[sesoti]

it is surely live., want kind of ears people have to say it was lip sinc?

[joeyvoh]

I have to say, she is really good at making it look real!!

[joeyvoh]

I love Mariah, but i know for sure some parts are lipped. But thats ok , she is amazing.

[fetheod]

I've grown in a musician's family... whomever may confuse a live version with a studio version, may not have attented to slight (and by the way, AWESOME) diferences in tone and her breath... just listen to both versions again and a more accurate ear may tell... she's is fucking great, yes she has best or not so great live presentations, voices are subject to many interfearences and to do her songs she needs an ammazing potency and full control, but she's certainly always impecable...

[raul7193]

just because she does the same things as in the recorded one doesn't mean is not live:S, she can do whatever she wants with her songs cuz she is mariah, and she is one of the best voices, don't be surprised she can sing this perfectly well

[snw4bordr20]

i think this is the best performance of this song

[Bacheegs]

my favorite song of all time. Makes me cry all the time!

[mcdamian17]

how can a person have so much voice??

[jhym09]

incomparable singer of all time..one of the worlds unique voice..

[DiGilex]

Damn!! This is definitely live! Can't you tell in the bridge with all the breathing and the "LOOOORD"? WELL DONE, MARIAH!

[turbomeanmachine]

OMG!!!!!!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY LIVE!!!!!! If there are pple who thot that some part are lipped, they are totally wrong!!!!!!! Lets talk sense here. I do not thik that the musician in mariah's band have all the time in the world to rehearse which part is live and when is not. Even her band mate had commented a MILLION TIMES evn they felt like ltning to a CD when mariah sings LIVE. :)

[Diplopy]

Totally live.

[glanniel06]

lip sync naman kau dyan!!,..

tanga ba kau?

obvious naman na live

hays

mga tungangoks

[defocusedphil]

beatifullll i love her so much ... saludos de chile ...

[ecirroh]

it is live

[IvyDiva]

of course this is live. This is different sung than the original, u can tell right away.

[artookhey]

this is live!

[sofarmc]

not really 100%

at least the high notes were lipped

the only difference is the length of some notes were cut shorter

so you may think it is live

[zesba]

Eu adoro Mariah Carey... Só ela dá um show quando o assunto é música!!!

[nikzcraze05]

100% LIVE!!! :D Amazing!

[xDARKESTxSOULx]

OMG her roots were showing!

[claudia0087]

ass holes shes singing totally live pff you ass

[pnaychic36]

and if ur a mariah fan u know when shes lip syncing durrrrrr!!! this is so live

[pnaychic36]

this is live losers..

[mimispice2007]

pls. loud you earphone to listen her breathing in this song!..coz' this is really LIVE..even the tv host was amazed to her!..

[mimispice2007]

this song is LIVE until the end...some people can't accept the truth..when MARIAH sing it live they try to say it's lipped.. they always try to say negative to MARIAH, because she sing it like her version...so they can't believe that MARIAH can sing it and it's sound like in her CD..

[mimispice2007]

i think she's getting tired here...you can see in her eyes..but she still try to sing in live for her guesting and promoting this song...btw i like this song...go MIMI

[douknow2]

well iv seen a bout 250 live shows in youtube of great mariah,she is defetnley one of the greatest fimale singer\artist of all times of usa-this time she is not singing...in the last 5 years-her voice is a little bit hoarse

sometimes she is combine at the same song! with lip singing and live singing-this time she is lip singing all the song-but it dosent matter...she showed the world what she can do lot of times-im crazy about her!!!!!!!!!!!!

[canedonic]

hey you!! you're the bitch not her, it doesn't mean that when you sound like you're record your lip singing my god look at her facial expression and gestures and some parts does not sound like the record it means it's live she just gave her best at the last part the climax.

[mimispice2007]

yeah! at 2:47 and 3:00 you can hear her voice in a little changes..she has a little slow singing in this part..so i'm sure it's 100% live..and at 3:27 "oh, Lord they do try".. i hear her breath in this part..pls. listen it again..tnx!.. don't care about their negative comment..hmp!

[sashanina123]

that bitch is lip singing

[gloomyoutlook]

look at the reaction from the back up singers :]

[charlamar]

Some people say she's lip synching and I can understand they would think that cause alot of pop artists these days do but really, why would she need to? She's freaking amazing either way. She's too naturally talented to be lip synching. She has a BEAUTIFUL voice

=]

[heatpio]

great! this is the only one live performance of mariah among the rest is great! the pitch the high of notes, the tune. this is live great performance

[gloomyoutlook]

lulz i win 8)

[gloomyoutlook]

you're clearly not such an expert as you claim to be, I can say with certainty I've seen more of her live performances and listened to them many more times than you, with full confidence.

this is live. end of story

[gloomyoutlook]

Listen to how she says "They CAN try", at 1:02. There are lots of those little things you'd notice if you knew her voice inside out as I do :P

this is liiiive.

[BaByXgIrL]

she looks very pretty there......oh and i gues only true fans who knows mariah's voice well can see when she lip synches or not..i'd say that I DO know personally lol and this is deffo live people..go play with ur dolls if ur that wack

[Raimundo91]

It doesn't matter. People don't really even know if it's lip synched, they just think they know. The voice tends to have to warm up before it can sound it's best. She doesn't sound as good until she sings 'that shines brightly'. Even if it IS pre-recorded, she's there live. It's not like there's a slide show of Mariah Carey pictures and her song playing. Stop being jerks.

[SingerWriterProducer]

OMG you people are sick with this Mariah liping this whole thing is 100% Live I swear on my life. Not one note is exactly the same as the record if you actually listened closly. The end is totally different & look at the vains poping out her neck when she's belting. I sorry but that never happens when she lipp's also look at the backround singer's smiling cause they know she's nailing the song.

[jamm210]

yeah its not live.. maybe the first few verses but not the end bit where she starts da hard bits... I'd prefer her singing live enev tho she sound like shit...

[gloomyoutlook]

god, what are you talking about, honestly... it's completely different from any version she's ever sang, this is absolutely live, beginning to end. it's imperfect -___-

and yet, it's mind blowing

[songbirdreg]

this is pre-recorded or she's singing into a recorded version of one of her live performances. it's obvious.

[bebefroz]

yupp!!! live! live! live! whatever!! it is live.. if other say it is lipped pls. clear your ears ok? or check your ears.. i know the diff. between live & lipped song... MARIAH you're still the best for me whatever happens! i will support you forevahhh!!..mwah! miss you IDOL!

[iMusician411]

That's my girl! even though she's lip syncing her ass off LOL, yes people she's definitely lip syncing to a live pre-recording.. but much love & respect always...

[h0nie24]

UNCOMPARABLE!!!

[initochanchan]

Amazing!!!! I've been a Mariah fan since day one, 17 years people and I can say THIS IS LIVE. Some people seem to forget this is Mariah Carey we're talking about here. LOVE her!!

[fhnfynfhyfh]

love this song wicked

[Kris23tom28]

its live great!!!!this is a good performance for me...wow!!!you can feel it I love it......

[JulianneYoela]

sorry but this is live

[SingerWriterProducer]

OMG I freakin' love this song & this is without a doubt the best performance of this song. Mariah's voice was in top shape here, I love how the backround singer's are amazed by her at the end where she belt's & they all start smileing & shaking there head's like dame I love her voice.

[mariahcus]

u stupid its live

[musiclover4life1991]

I LUV DIS SONG SOO MUCH

[nicevidbro]

dont even try. you know how stupids are fans now. if you say something and its not "oh shes perfect" you automatically become a hater.

[tomatokiddie]

very touching. love you mariah. best rendition of CTTA

[TakiszOuzounidis]

Beutifulll performance ,

[bigsteel]

AMAZING!

[lynnandsophie]

[Kris23tom28]

[meah2418]

I have always been moved by Mariah...and this particular song is my favorite of hers...it penitrates my heart and soul* And someday* I will be able to tell her how greatly I appreciate her and her amazing gifts* :) I LOVE YOU MIMI!!! <3

[mlambguy2513]

Yes, this is the best performance of this song.

[dmoraks]

hahaha... hey listen.. and the drums and backup singers sound exactly the same too... probably they are faking the whole show

[mariahcarey1625]

i dont think the last "shines brightly y y y y " is live its totally the same but the rest is awesome love you mariah!

[mjbrad305]

WOW she was on point i always thought she never performed this song live to the level of the recording but she certainly did here, the start is boring but the climax is great and ofcourse the message is awesomely tearjerking sometimes, my one time anthem lol.

[melchewvin]

she is than any other singer out there!!!!!!!

[rockdat]

i agree it is her best performance of this song shes done

[missbelie]

The best female singer of all the time!

[Esmeralda6891]

in your opinion

[akebrand]

This is the BEST real vocal of Mariah that i ever see.... You rock!!!

[h0nie24]

the worlds best selling female artist of all time

[paulinolondon]

I said before that another video I heard from Mariah singing this song live was the bes, I am wrong, this is the best, no doubts..Really, really good...tha is MC..the best female singer ever

[eL1a16]

very good

[ASAFYY]

she looks like mariah carey from the 90'S

[TrentJones]

This was 99

[Willessp]

stop insulting her talent. u may keep quiet also when you don't know what u're talking about.

[KimFlantastic]

Oh my godness...I never saw this...Thnk you for adding :).

[cherrey0326]

mariah ur the best..if i am going to have a baby..ill name her mariah too

[Diamond0In0Da0Ruff]

you better sing that shit mariah!

[bambm16]

Very very VERY NICE... she sang her heart our... Dats muh biiiitch!!

[vanessa78225]

wow. i'm so amazed. can't wait to see her on tour!

[HOLDUPVOLUP]

its heaps great...it almost like the album version but she chages some stuff and it sound ultimalte material....

[blueice02]

if there was a six star rating, i would give her that. i havent seen her do a song the same like her album version ( which i like). almost thought this was lipped but her voice was hoarse than the album version. w.t.g mariah!

[billybobtheduck]

Definately the best...
