Mariah Carey Memorial Michael Jackson singing I'll be there with Trey Lorenz

Mariah Carey's 'I'll Be There.' A No. 1 hit for Carey, who covered the Jackson 5 hit on her 1992 "MTV Unplugged" album. The ballad was an early sign of Jackson's strength as a vocalist, a childlike innocence conveyed with near expert phrasing. The Times' Ann Powers is inside Staples Center, and she offers that "Carey's version of the Jackson 5 song symbolizes innocence for her too -- it was one of her early hits, and a curly haired, cherubic Carey has been featured singing it in many televised Jackson tributes this last week. For Jackson's fans, the song recalls a period when the star made history as one of the first black teen idols to find acceptance across color lines."


At the memorial: In the very first verse Carey -- in a black, glittery dress -- made it clear that this would be a more restrained, elegant rendition of the song. Singing through the emotions, Carey was at a near-gasp in the song's opening moments. Her partner on the 1992 cover, Trey Lorenz, made an appearance here as well, heightening the performance's gospel undertones. Lorenz, in fact, showed off more vocal dynamics than Carey. But a more subtle Carey is a more graceful one.


Inside the venue, Powers noted that Carey's take began in a tiny voice, as if to honor the boy Michael. When Carey found that Lorenz almost bowled her over, that's when she turned her voice up a notch to match her singing partner. Lorenz sang Michael's name in falsetto, and Carey added "Never Can Say Goodbye..."
Very tasteful.

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me," she tweeted. "One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts."

''Cantare per me oggi era praticamente impossibile. Mi dispiace di non averlo fatto come avrei voluto, ma mi sono trattenuta a stento dal piangere. Ero letteralmente senza fiato quando ho visto la bara davanti a me'', ha scritto la cantante sul suo micro-blog.

''Qello che so e' che non riusciremo mai a dire davvero addio a Michael Jackson. Il suo ricordo vive attraverso la sua musica e i milioni di persone che ha ispirato. Sara' sempre nei nostri cuori''.

@nom46 crying? she was obsessed with flipping her hair and showing her breasts. Not appropriate behavior for a memorial.

[iiablaze]

for being a really sad day she pulled it off ok...however i remember on an interview she had a long time ago she said that singing is always an emotional experience for her...so its like in this case she should have went all out with her voice. But i'm not one to judge.

@CuteMocca oohh plzz fuck offffff

[alexstar15]

This was great, people just have very high expectations of her. If this were Miley, Taylor, Rihanna they would praise them!
