  • so sua fa

  • She is the best, amazing and just great...!!!!

  • Lol even Nana at 2.49 is busting out the groove!

    Randy Jackson on bass! "Dats my Dawg!"

  • Her voice was not fully warmed to sing a lung crushing song like VOL. Cut her her some slack!

  • what a stink crowd lol

  • 3:15

    "tooo0o0o0o" fucking magical

  • @Fuuckthisshiiit damn!

  • such control! and she knows how to place her voice from god the right way.

  • the growl she did at 3:01 was just beautiful!

  • i love this

  • i think this was the era of her vocal decline. but still i think it makes it more emotional

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think she's ever been able to sing this song as good as the original since she released it. The only time she's come close was in 2005 at BET Blueprint in my opinion.

  • @imafan123456 Charmbracelet 2003 Los Angeles tour. She sustains the F5.

  • @rekupp I think she did even better in Paris - CB Tour '03 

  • @rekupp when did she sustain the F5?

  • wow

    

  • WOW...never disappoints no matter how diff she sings it.!

  • ahahha! press 0 - for the emcee press 1 - the staring contest press 2 - the microphone finally has the freedom press 3 - the back-up sweeps the AIR!!! press 4 - wave to the people with your eyes closed press 5 - the hand over there sounds like "Come closer dahhlin', i'm smilin'!" press 6 - the back-up again, ANSWER. press 7 - air slice! press 8 - the back-up sweeps the AIR, again!!! press 9 - she sings "Ohhh" and thinking that the song finally ends! PS.: my comment never gets liked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • i can compare this one to the BET 2005, her voice in the BET Version is awesome though

  • 2:51 so young people....

  • OMG the vocal runs in the end are amazing!

  • Mariah Carey, on her worst voice, still sounds much better than other singers in their good days.

  • she might not go as high as in earlier performances, but i actually love her voice so raspy! specially in the end at 3:24

    and i also loved the melisma in 'to' (3:15)

  • It's pretty much impossible to lip Vision of Love. The last run is insane and would be hilarious if she attempted to lip it. Also, she's changed it up so much throughout the years it would be ridiculously obvious.

  • 3:02 i love her raspy growl. oh shes so sexy!

  • simply amazing, i have not seen any singer who can make different versions of their songs.

  • you can definitely see how she overstrained her voice, but listen to how she sings "to" from 3:15 to 3:17 Her voice didn't let up on the soft sultry stuff. Still rocked it then.

  • So Sad:(.....

  • 2:50 lol

  • If this is a bad day for Mariah Carey, I wish I could have bad days.

  • lol her face [where she kinda blinks?] at 0:39 - 0:40 is kinda cute..xD

  • this performance was funny. 3:03 and 3:08

  • WOW THAT SOLO SHE DID WAS SOOOOOOO FREAKIN AMAZING SHE LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON BUT IN GIRL FORM

  • Damn, It's hard watching her live. She struggles when she's live. From day one, It's always been that way.

  • @ScienceProjek she actually sounds way better than this by todays standards

  • @ScienceProjek This is almost like 10 years after day 1 of her career actually... and in her early career she knocked it out effortlessly

  • @ScienceProjek No, from day one she was HOT! No one could compete with her back then. Now, well, it's a different story.

  • @VMARIE20 Well, Everytime I've seen her perform "Can't Let Go" and "Vanishing" in 1991, She always was very pitchy and overthetop. Check out some of those old hysterical performances of hers. I'm sure they're uploaded here on youtube. She's had her good performances too, but more pitchy/nervous ones back in the 90/91 era.

  • @ScienceProjek Pitchy? Are u serious? She was technically perfect.

  • @mcdamian17 Well, Let me rephrase that... "To me" she was pitchy, However, you should thoroughly read my comment. I also mentioned she's had her share of good aswell....

  • This song is my saving grace. I listen to it and get through though times. And listening to Mariah's voice is almost close to a religious experience for me, she's that good.

  • she's so pretty here :)

  • OMFG SO FUCKING AMAZING.

  • wish she still belted like this :(

  • So much soul in this performance. I liked her voice during this period....it had alot of depth to it....

  • Maria Carey gone through ruff times.. she had problems because of her nodules, because hitting G5, F5 over and over again.... and this shows how talented this woman, her runs & riffs are so good and that raspyness like Michael Jackson is of singing really hard soul songs! She writes/composes and arrange her own Songs.

  • i super love her voice at the butterfly era!!! SO HOT AND RASPY!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT MAKES THE SONGAS MORE BEAUTIFUL :))

  • she sounds like a third rate cruise ship singer here

  • Siempre estare enamorado de semejante mujer !!!

  • she hardly sing it!! its very hard to sing!!

  • sooo glad she sang live!! like live - live! lol sing Mariah!!!

  • Wow...It's good too!

  • she sounded lyk christina aguilera here

  • 20° anniversary of VISION OF LOVE!!!!

  • im joining a contest and this would be my piece! wish me luck! mariah is my inspiration!

  • Back then she looked beautiful and sounded magnificent while remaining dignified. Now, well........

  • I love when she says so strong 1:22 - 1:30

  • she's hot!!!

  • AWESOME!

  • muito bom

  • AMAZING AND RAW just beautiful !!! mariah is so fantastic

  • she was SO beautiful

  • She still IS!

  • 1998,1999,2008 are mariah's worst years (voice).

    and i think this should be around 1998, as everyone could have seen that she was very struggling with some notes. and i m sure she can do this song better now.

  • @davidchubo

    there are no worst of her voice,. all are beautiful . how can you say that 1998 and 1999 are worst?? SHE'S so amazing in that year. speciallty 1998. i love her raspy voice. sorry for my grammar.

  • She sung the song better in 2005 LOL.. It's as if through all the belting her voice became stronger! just saying love her lamb4life!~!

  • @TheMickj23q  yeah i know right

  • Not as good as the original. I still love Mariah though.

  • @MARZOSIRUS This was a bit lower but it still sounded great.

  • @MarkWarrenMusic I noticed her vocal decline from 1997-2002. This performance was still beautiful.

  • wat year was this

  • @malakiah01 1998

  • Is that Randy Jackson in the back playing the guitar?

  • @SteelAVic18 ,,,That IS Randy ,,,,hes played with Mariah thru most of her career.

  • That background singer should not be a "background" singer any longer!! She CAN blow!!!!!! =)

  • 2:24 - 2:32 damn that backup singer can blow too!

  • we can realize when it's live looking the way she moves her arms!!!

  • chilly was born when this was no1!!!!

  • i love this version, it is very soulful, high notes doesn't make the song beautiful, it's about the voice and the soul. :D

  • Her smile is so beautiful at the ends LOL

  • Ohhh how can people say she should have lip synced this O_o .... OK her voice is a bit raspy but I think she sounds hot that way...PS she looks amazing here

  • @joebell1988 she never lip vision of love and she can't cause it will be too obvious but she didn't sing this since 2006 on the adventures of mimi tour. D:

    i wanna see her performing this once again.

  • @iiAmitx3 Me too, I wish she sing VOL in Brasil tomorrow!

  • @mcdamian17 i do too! so much ):

    will you be there?

  • @iiAmitx3 Well she didn´t perform VOL, but she sang her ass off and performed I Still Believe! I´m still so impressive with her concert, she regained her midd chest register!

  • @mcdamian17 i saw it and i wish i could be there or in the one that comes in 3 days i don't really know what it is though.

  • she's really amazing...i love her no matter what she does.

  • i totally agree wit u. i hated how her voice started to change. it was too different- in a very bad way.

    i really dont like the style of music that she does now. wat happened to the classic pop ballads???

    ALL WE GET NOW IS THAT STUPID SONG "OBSESSED" WHICH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO MEANING TO IT WATSOEVER.

  • but its hot!! haha and it sells.

    i miss the time of the soul stirring ballads too. like forever(my favorite of her songs)

    oh mimi.

  • this is actually one of my favorites...... very soulful..... second only to her Madison Square Garden performance in 95.... IN MY OPINION!!

  • Obviously, Mariah's voice was not at its best here. BET 2005 was better; but only by a slight margin. Her best VOL's were performed back in the early 90s; see her performance of it in GMA back in 1991. That being said, it's admirable that she did not lipsynch in this performance.

  • Does every one notice Randy Jackson from American Idol in the back?

  • yea....in her Butterfly album u notice his name in the credits as well...he has been a doing a lot of behind the scenes work before he was known for AI...a lot of ppl don't know that :]

  • :) agree

  • who cares?

  • whos talking to u. are u that bored.... go get into someone elses conversation.

  • @ 1:10, in the "Prayed through the nights" part, she tried to hit E5 but maybe something on her throat caused her to have difficulty in releasing the air she needed to reach the note. Same @ 2:18. But she succeeded to hit the note at 2:42, and for me that was amazing, because even though she had vocal crisis at that time she still tries to give her best.

  • She didnt try to hit E5, its not as if she was thinking just before "right, i need to hit an E5 now". it doesnt work like that.

  • she ended it so amazingly

  • funny. now when she REALLY needs to lip-sync, she doesnt? this shouldve been lip-synced. i dont get her sometimes.

  • i love her when she looks like this.. she looks best like this

  • freaking breath taking

  • We apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately, the release of the Mariah Carey concert live from the Palms Casino has been delayed for 24 hours.

    The concert will debut on Sunday, Oct 11. We're sure that all of you are as excited to watch the show as we are to release it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • i hope she sings this song this yr. just curious how it wud sound

  • mariah dominates the world !!!!!

    I LOVE YOU

  • her voice still can give us so much happiness. I love her even tough if she makes bad albuns.

  • she was so pretty and simple at this time.More classy and performed better than now.

    Defending great songs such as this one. Her vocal work was so pure.

    Shame she became like a marketing singer these time. I liked her.

  • shes so pretty!

  • i want this mariah back. a decade makes such a difference to someones voice. shes still better than whitney but her voice isnt as strong as it was here. she cud control it so well. she shuda rested after e=mc2 insted of coming bk so soon voice isnt strong enuf

  • Yeah hate to say i agree, people ask why she doesnt do power ballads anymore, answer the voice isnt there, Whiteny ive always thought as number 1, but sadly she's gone as well, Leona Lewis now has to be the power voice, dont honestly think that can be disputed, I really love Mariah, she's great but just not what she was :-(

  • first of all don't say she has no voice because that simply isn't true . have you heard her soon to be new single? her vocals are amazing in that. so she still has the vocals. It's the same with Whitney, if you visist her website you will hear her new single which is soon to be released called i look to you. She isn't the same but they are still both better than leona by a mile. nothing lasts forever so why do people expect Mariah and Whitney to? it's bullshit get a grip.

  • I was there to see Mariah sing at X factor, she was terrible, im not saying she has no voice, if u READ the comment. Im saying she isnt as good as she used to be, the new song is ok, but im sorry i think Leona has a much more powerful and controlled voice. Whitney, no way is she in the same league anymore, u heard of drugs??? They damage vocal cords

  • I just think it's an extremely silly and naive thing to do. I mean Comparing Leona to Mariah???? Mariah is THE diva now and no one can touch her especially not some big nosed talent show winner. Leona needs to perform another 20,000 live performances at least before she's worthy of comparison.

  • Are people dull on here or what!!!! I like Mariah!!!! I am just saying the voice in the music box album for example, is in a different league to the recent songs. I think Leona will prove to people just how talented she is. The DIVA, gimme a break

  • We're clearly not going to agree so i'm going to walk away from this argument so i can get back to my life and you can get back to your leeks and sheep

  • I think your last comment has just shown the total tosser that you are. And as for that whitney song, you can see what drugs have done to her voice.  Im off for some lamb and leek soup :-)

  • ooohh so you're eating the meat today and not fucking it?

  • Your good you are you know that, you gotta be one of those bitchy gay guys that likes Mariah and Kylie??? Am i near????

  • Nope i'm completely straight. i Just appreciate Mariah's talent and think she deserves a bit more respect than she gets. I love music and she has done so much for music in the past .

  • I really really agree with every word you say I promise i too love her music, but as you say there in the past, the last few albums ive bought of hers have been mega disappointing, do you not think that the r n b style music of late is a poor comparison to the early work, or is that me getting old??

  • No you're right there she has been really disapointing lately. I really liked Obsessed but went off it really quickly. I like her newest one 'i wanna know what love is' Her old stuff was great and vocally i don't think anyone could touch her. She seemed to be a real grafter back then but now she seems to want more time off, which i think is only right coz she's dedicated alot of her life to her fans.

  • I've just listened to the new one, and gotta be honest its great, sounds like it wouldnt be out of place on Music Box, song like Open Arms, Forever etc are what she is amazing at, She's had a much bigger career then Whitney and Celine i think it's fair to say, the talent is undoubtably there, maybe sometimes the material is the downfall

  • well at least we've found some common ground coz i also think the material is the not so great side. Don't get me wrong it's always good but not always.................WOW!!!

  • haha, well its great that we reached it!!!! Lol

  • Do you realise what's happened? that was probably the first time anyone has had a 'youtube argument' and reached a conclusion and decided to be nice for a change and accept each others opinion!!! WELL PROUD OF ME AND U I AM!!

  • So am I buddy!!! Makes a nice change, damm good thing for Anglo Welsh relations lol

    Good to meet you btw!!!!

  • i'm just like you. Don't listen to anyone else who tries to bring you down.

  • Her voice is actually a lot better now than the Butterfly era, in my opinion. Back then, it was not rested and it was starting to "change" so I guess she didn't know how to use it in her own advantage and kept pushing it (just like this performance).

  • I agree. Now her performances are geared towards her voice and even her new music still adapts to her voice and can still be successful

  • I'm loving her melismas. :)

    she's the BEST!!! :)

  • At the same age (as this video) Whitney was superior. Loved Mariah earlier, looks like she is coming back. . Early "Visions Of Love" are spectacular and  unduplicated in my opionion,,,,

  • Whitney sucks. FUCK HER

  • I'm just proud of her for not lip syncing.

  • at least her hair is great!

  • she was so much prettier before she went so blonde n felt the need to expose herself like crazy. n do the high pitch shyt too much.

  • she dosen't expose herself like that.u make it sound so bad like she's a hoe,yeah she showed her bra in TMB but...come if she's really "exposing" herself then she did that in honey when she had on that 2 piece swimsuit!

    jesus leave the lady alone!

  • where's da high note??? (thats the only reason i listen to that song) lol

  • her voice is very very strained here (during 1997-1999) she should have rested..poor mc...although at her worst she is still the best vocalist ever...haha!

  • Yea, her voice was worse than it is now at that point.

    She was not herself because she knew she didn't sound that great.

  • she must feel very frustrated when she knows that the nodules cant be removed from her voice box

  • they can be removed..but theres a chance if they are removed that someone can loose theyre singing voice all together

  • i love the raspy version. she do give us alot of versions which are all incredible great.

    watch her intro to patti labelle on the apollo theaters.

    she hit an a4 or b4 on the labelllleee part there.

  • She sure did!!!

  • ... A4 is not an impressive note for a woman. Most high voiced males can sing an A4 in their chest voice...

    Maaaaaybe you're thinking like... A7? That's Mariah's register of choice.

  • I'm lovin Mariah's hair in this video.

  • is that  Randy Jackson on bass?????

  • YES :P

  • She could not hit the signature notes within this song. Her voice was very raspy.

  • is mariah half cast

  • i miss this kind of mariah.. d nice angelic look.. hehehe unlike the mariah we see today.. d flirty-hot-showing-boobies type of mariah.. hehehe...

    i guess y'all miss her

  • i love both mariah's but i prefer the mariah now...very "diva" for a lack of a better word

  • haha i aint jealous XD

    im just stating a fact man,,,

    but still she is a great singer compare to others,, what im trying to say here is that she isnt as good as she first came out.. and you know that if ur a real fan ^^

  • I don't know man, in my opinion, she belted out this song, easily one of the best voices ever in recorded history, so whats the beef? jealousy probably!

  • i bliv that mariah can no longer hold such note nowadays thats why her current version of vision of love sounds that way...

    if someone thinks that mariah nvr changed well sad to tell you evrytng change even mariah...

    im also sad to tel u d truth i wished dat singers could maintain their voice but thats just not the way things go does it = (

    im sad for mariah i think shes struggling now like other singers that used to sing very well

  • well, actually, i think singers can maintain their voices. its just about taking time out to rest the vocal cords, and not overwork them, you know? but its kinda hard not to especially if you're trying to make an album every year, plus go on tours, plus travel here and there and everywhere around the world to the perform and do interviews. its alot to deal with, i guess.

  • lol yeah get a life or something. just enjoy the video -_-

  • OK GUYS STOP ARGUING

  • shes very pretty in butterfly whewe...

  • shes beautiful. her beauty was at its best in the butterfly, #1s and rainbow era. but she was kinda fat in rainbow, but still pretty!

  • Mariah is vision of life...

  • no one can t beat her,she is the best for all of times

  • well yeah its true that georgia brown hits a higher octave with her whistle register and its true that it is in the book of world records ...she can also do an entire song in her whistle register...trust me ive seen the video..but its also tru that her whistle still is in no comparison to mariah careys mariahs whistle is more sensual and angelic and it is also true that mariah is the number one selling female artist of all time with the number one spot for artist with most number one hits

  • i dont blive that she can hit 10 octve note..the highest she hit is G#8..thats it..no video or recording to proof that

  • oulaaaa!! le best c a partir de 2:55, un truc de dingue!! inimitable biensur...

  • OMFG, I get so damn frustrated because the backup singer assigned for the duo NEVER backs her properly... she always leaves mariah singing by herself, and it sounds stupid. She's supposed to be going back and forth with mariah, and fulfilling the DUO part.... instead, she does 2 riffs and thats it.... grrrrrr

  • your voice so husk here, i prefer 2005 in BET

  • yeah I prefer that performance too; but here she looks so beautiful :)

  • not 2000!!! it's 2005!!!

  • she have only a 5 octave

  • For all who don't know. This was 1998 right after she had come off of her 2007 world tour of "Butterfly" and her voice was shot from tour. Your voice would be a little tired to after belting it out around the world.

  • You mean 97 bot 07.

  • I can´t imagine she smoking....

  • guys she was smoking at her breakdown in 2001. so now she's lost 2 octaves leaving her with 6 and now she's also got nodules in her vocal chords and the doctors say if they take them out she could lose her voice foreva! IM SOOO SAD FOR MIMI! U GO MC! UR STILL THE QUEEN OF POP!

  • WOW u actually thought she had an 8 octave range. well sorry to disappoint you... :/

  • she duz, its certified by RIAA and music critics

  • sry! she really doesn't. if she actually DID have an 8 octave range she would have been in the book of records instead of georgia brown. georgia brown actually does have an 8 octave range.

    plus, mariah was never able to hit all notes between her whistle register and lowest notes. so i'd say there's about half an octave missing there if that makes any difference.

    mariah might at one point have had a 5-6 range. now she has...well, not very much left.

  • mariah might have 8 octaves she never intentionally tried to break her own record
