And she was battling bipolar disorder her mind wasn't fully there but still she had more brain power and creativity than half the music industry put together
+Clyde Clyde Actually vocal changes caused by age are results of bad technique (there are a lot of singers whose voices didn't change at that age), her voice hasn't changed that much, but she probably finds it harder to reach some notes (because of age, but that's not vocal change), she should just take some time to rest and improve her technique and she would be as awesome as she used to be (in terms of technical singing), 'cause she still can slay. I think she should try to get rid of these awful nodules, her whistles have lost some of their quality, but she could relearn them, just take time and find the right vocal coach. PS. Forgive if I made any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker.
In my opinion, this was her best performance surpassing all of her performances in 1997-2000. Even though her belt wasn't that high here, her singing was very comfortable and her tone was really gorgeous here
Im personally a mariah fan but think mariah and whitney are apples and oranges. mariah is more sultry and melodic and whitney has more soul and rhythms. Both are timeless
Soul is objective in a sense but not completely. Mariah has proven to have soul with her ability to convey emotions regardless of whether she sings exactly like the record or hits every single note perfectly. In this version for instance she significantly lowered the key of hero but still managed to touch our spirits
Yeah, the only thing is that it’s harder for her to high notes since she’s aging and her voice is maturing in this era especially. Which explains why she’s dodging lots of notes
This is what I mean when I say a lot of people can hit whistles notes and maybe even higher but only SHE can SING in whistle tones and make it sound musical. Beautiful. Peerless.
This was just pure magic. Her whistles, the quality if the upper belts, the runs, just magic. How can somebody say that her maximum was till 1997? I mean, I just love her belts in this era! The intro of Never to Far, that a capella part is wow😍
_This is the Mariah I know, and fell in love with. Consider this: 911 had just happened, plus MC was still reeling from the Glitter debacle, and her emotional breakdown, yet she comes out singing deep from her heart, leaving it out there on the stage. Talk about legendary!_
+Marco Chessa - How right you are Marco, and I adore how it was meshed with Never Too Far. I have a newfound appreciation for that song thanks to this.
It's so interesting to think the years when her voice was in its prime were also the years when her personal life was turbulent (1993-1995, 2001-2002). It's like she could never have her cake and eat it too...
This is one of her most gorgeous performances. They've only done this arrangement of 'Hero' about three times (love the "you've got to, you've got to..." in 2:37).
3:28 "(chest voice) in you and you and you and you (transitions into head voice) you you you you you" it's such a small part of the song but i just LOVE how it sounds lol
It amazes me that people say that mariah has done nothing to contribute to society, she has done a ton of things that contribute to people! Her voice was really good in this era, i dont get why everyone said her voice had deteriorated, its there and is still here today!
mi hermano.. yo no se si habran voces mas poderosas pero la de esta mujer es sencillamente diferente.. hermosa... hay otras que ace lo del whistle.. pero me kedo cone lla.. no por ke sea la mega estrella que es.. sino pq sus altas notas no suenan como tal. osea no aturden.. sino que embellecen la cancion.... y ala ves impresionan.. es una voz muyyyyyyyyy diferente al resto. y eso la hace especial.. a su voz y ala portadora...
NEVER TOO FAR is one of the bests SONGS ever! She should sing this live again! Her voice during this time was magnifecent! It was like she was #cleanse from the toxic environment and gotten enough sleep.
I can't get over the way she sounds after the whistle at the start of HERO... "When you feel like hope is gone", her voice sounds warm and spectacular! Mesmerized!!
There may be artists who can whistle higher (e.g., Adam Lopez) and longer (e.g., Georgina Brown) than Mariah, but I guess the only one who can do "lyrical whistles" like 3:49 is Mariah.
What did u say...whistle higher. I think you should clear your head again. U ever heard all in your mind by mariah Carey. The only person who whistled higher than her is goergia brown and mini i think - not sure but don't ever say Adam lopez. Not even close
*LYRICS* You're with me Till the bitter end What we had transcends This experience Too painful to Talk about So I'll hold it in Till my heart can mend And be brave enough to love again A place in time Still belongs to us Stays preserved in my mind In the memories there is solace Oh Never too far away I won't let time erase One bit of yesterday 'Cause I have learned that Nobody can take your place Though we can never be I'll keep you close to me Always remember Love There's a hero, if you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid of what you are There's an answer, if you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know will melt away And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you Lord knows, dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone, tear them away Hold on, there will be tomorrow In time, you'll find the way And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you Nobody can take your place You’re never too far
o.m.g.! This has to be one of the BEST of the top ten vocal performances of all time!!! SO CRISP AND CLEAR AND SHE IS HITTING NOTES LEFT AND RIGHT!!! Even for those who aren't fans, you have to admit her voice is CLASSIC here...

That moment when Mariah's "lowest point in her career" is higher than everyone else's peak
17 years after, the album Glitter soar high in iTunes Chart!
And she was battling bipolar disorder her mind wasn't fully there but still she had more brain power and creativity than half the music industry put together
Zaldy San Pedro And now its on streaming platforms!
Deletedatafromphone
👏👏👏👏well said!
I cannot believe she said "never to far" in whistle register I could cry 😭😭❤️
Gary Manuel I know right
Gary Manuel well, believe it
Gary Manuel why not? The first song is never too far away.
@@hadiolav851 Because is very beautiful 😍❤ I'm crying😢😢😢
@@SomewhereOnTheOutside yeah it is 👌
Nudge me, guys, if this is really the time of Mariah's "career decline". This is a million-fold better than the career peak of any artists today!!
Yes and Its the time when she made the most beautiful Songs. Albums "Charm bracelet and Glitter"
Salvador Laurente Jr ikr she's really underrated😢
Salvador Laurente Jr this is late but Glitter/charm bracelet was her second prime..... some of the best live performances of her career
period!!!!
This album sold over 5 million copies most artists can never do that with 1 album.
This Performance should be in Guiness World Record.
she is the ONLY one who can sing like this , perfection, wow
Agree all the way. I wish she sang this again.
2001-2004 were great years for Mariah vocally.
Anastasia Romanov Extremely great. Only years that were better were 1993-1996
+JayBeeTV 1990-1997 Mariah is the best Live vocalist in the planet. 2001-2006 was a great years for her vocally.
@@thedivasofsupreme6190 Yess But 1993-1996 Was her prime
I love how airy the whistles were in that time
@@lennykohen From 1997-2004 her whistles was very airy
she sounded amazing, her voice was so clear and she sang with ease. I miss that Mariah 😢
You're absolutely right. I love her so much but it seems like she's afraid to hit some notes. Too many times,now,her throat closes.
every singer are changing because of aging, that's their voice was change
+Clyde Clyde Actually vocal changes caused by age are results of bad technique (there are a lot of singers whose voices didn't change at that age), her voice hasn't changed that much, but she probably finds it harder to reach some notes (because of age, but that's not vocal change), she should just take some time to rest and improve her technique and she would be as awesome as she used to be (in terms of technical singing), 'cause she still can slay. I think she should try to get rid of these awful nodules, her whistles have lost some of their quality, but she could relearn them, just take time and find the right vocal coach.
PS. Forgive if I made any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker.
Is that because drinking wine?
Mariah is the best singer in the world‼️ Her talent is incomparable
In my opinion, this was her best performance surpassing all of her performances in 1997-2000. Even though her belt wasn't that high here, her singing was very comfortable and her tone was really gorgeous here
She was almost 100% rested here after what the horrendous rainbow era did to her voice
That's why her whistle was really strong here, when her nodules are bigger she can whistle easier and harder to belt, vice versa
1:55 this part make my cry, she will always be perfect
Im personally a mariah fan but think mariah and whitney are apples and oranges. mariah is more sultry and melodic and whitney has more soul and rhythms. Both are timeless
Soul is completely subjective tho
Vulnerability it really isn’t tho... 🤷🏽♂️
Sorry. Mariah, with her vocal characteristics and capabilities, is like fruit cocktail while Whitney can only pick one fruit to be.
Soul is objective in a sense but not completely. Mariah has proven to have soul with her ability to convey emotions regardless of whether she sings exactly like the record or hits every single note perfectly. In this version for instance she significantly lowered the key of hero but still managed to touch our spirits
@@aenmyeoljong1768 Well said
I wish she would perform this again.
Same. There is a 0.001% chance now because she finally acknowledged Glitter with Loverboy.
Lambily Loft you got your wish
No hate but now I wish she would perform this again 100% live acapella
Is no one gonna talk about how beautiful and flawless that whistle was transitioning into Hero!!! 😍😍😍😵😵😵
She improvised that part on top of it!
That "never too far" in the whistle register is hauntingly beautiful. Amazing performance
At 3:13, the way she sings "hope" gives me chills.. I've probably watched that part 20+ times in one minute..
i love this era. sounds better than daydream to me, her tone, the raspiness, the angelic whistle, i love this era 😔💓
Rainbow + Charmbracelet = Glitter.
Rainbow - *Glitter* - Charmbracelet
Yeah, the only thing is that it’s harder for her to high notes since she’s aging and her voice is maturing in this era especially. Which explains why she’s dodging lots of notes
The tone is a preference but overall Daydream is superior vocally
Daydream's ability to hit high notes + Rainbow's agility + Butterfly's raspiness amd sultriness = Glitter
She's one of a very few performers who can vocalize in her whistle range. And she was PERFECT on this performance. Stellar!! She's #1!!!
Nobody is ever going to sing like her, her voice is gift...she's unique.
This is what I mean when I say a lot of people can hit whistles notes and maybe even higher but only SHE can SING in whistle tones and make it sound musical. Beautiful. Peerless.
Look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you (:
Rafa Medina OUOOO UOOO LOOOORD KNOOOIW
It’s a masterpiece, and she is a legend.
1:55 that whistle runs is too beautiful
This was just pure magic. Her whistles, the quality if the upper belts, the runs, just magic. How can somebody say that her maximum was till 1997? I mean, I just love her belts in this era! The intro of Never to Far, that a capella part is wow😍
The greatest vocalist of all time PERIOD 👑
3:43 No one can whistle with that beautiful face 😍😘
Vocal gymnastics at its finest! The transition from low to high to low to high notes is just insane!
You don't deserve mariah at her best ,if you doesn't love her at her worst.
_This is the Mariah I know, and fell in love with. Consider this: 911 had just happened, plus MC was still reeling from the Glitter debacle, and her emotional breakdown, yet she comes out singing deep from her heart, leaving it out there on the stage. Talk about legendary!_
Her 2001 voice is so underrated.
that whistle in Never too Far it's so Beautiful, pure magic.
This is my favourite Mariah performance ever
Best song to song transition in music history
i love her tone during this era.... so clear
i love the elegant way She place her finger on to her ear to hit a whistle note , so beautiful
So beautiful. Mariah is the greatest among them.
At 2:00 when she whistled "so" and transitioned into Hero, I melted. Love her. We are Lambily!
This is my favorite version of this song, along with Tokyo dome and tribute to heroes
I can't get over 2:19 amazing!
❤ one the best performances of hero
+Marco Chessa - How right you are Marco, and I adore how it was meshed with Never Too Far. I have a newfound appreciation for that song thanks to this.
yes they blend beutifully :) and those whistles make it more magical!
They do indeed! :)
"Never too far" is so underrated! I love it so much, it brings back so many memories ❤
the way she works that whistle register live is a true gift
Finally!! Live of Never Too Far mygoshhhhhh thank u!! I'm crying 😭❤️❤️❤️
'Or maybe it's just that beautiful things are so easily broken by the world'
2:04 her voice the music kicks in Amazing ♡♡
I love the smile on the audience faces as the cheer Mariah on. It really shows they're in awe, and not just faking.
Such a pure and angelic voice
She gives me faith and security of myself...of the things i need to achieve...
Bless her music and Bless the one and only Mariah carey
i love when Mariah sings, That girl has a great gift!
It's so interesting to think the years when her voice was in its prime were also the years when her personal life was turbulent (1993-1995, 2001-2002). It's like she could never have her cake and eat it too...
This is one of her most gorgeous performances. They've only done this arrangement of 'Hero' about three times (love the "you've got to, you've got to..." in 2:37).
her best tone...so beautiful.
that was insanely beautiful. the high notes were in that perfect register for her to be soft and flourish a bit. still shaking off the chills.
The transitional whistle
ngl this is my favorite performance of hero ever
her whister notes are superb....
incredible...great...beautiful... flawless
one of the best, if not the best live performance of this beautiful medley-...absolutely flawless!
3:28 "(chest voice) in you and you and you and you (transitions into head voice) you you you you you" it's such a small part of the song but i just LOVE how it sounds lol
right it's just so heavenly
She's so genius.
Living legend
It amazes me that people say that mariah has done nothing to contribute to society, she has done a ton of things that contribute to people! Her voice was really good in this era, i dont get why everyone said her voice had deteriorated, its there and is still here today!
she's so perfect... this presentation was the best of her... I just love her voice at all... She's the best... EVER...
I am here because today is 9/11/2019 and this song means alot to those who lost someone. #NEVERTOFAWAYHERO ❤ THANK YOU MARIAH FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE
this is so beautiful I love her old ballads!
Mariah's voice. So angelic soft and uplifting . It has a spiritual dimension to it. An angel among us 😇
OMG This is heaven ?
Mariah 'Angel'a Carey.
The best performance I’ve ever seen in my life💖
Nothing compares to her!!!!

Best performance all of time. After Hero Tokyo dome 1996
NEVER TOO FAR is one of the bests SONGS ever! She should sing this live again! Her voice during this time was magnifecent! It was like she was #cleanse from the toxic environment and gotten enough sleep.
I can't get over the way she sounds after the whistle at the start of HERO... "When you feel like hope is gone", her voice sounds warm and spectacular! Mesmerized!!
Greatest singer alive!!!
There may be artists who can whistle higher (e.g., Adam Lopez) and longer (e.g., Georgina Brown) than Mariah, but I guess the only one who can do "lyrical whistles" like 3:49 is Mariah.
Salvador Laurente Jr
Minnie Riperton
Salvador Laurente Jr
Piet Arion
Georgina can't sing. Adam Lopez is great but he plays it safe in the model register, obviously Mariah doesn't.
Salvador Laurente Jr lol Adam Lopez and Georgina Brown are NOWHERE near as successful as her
What did u say...whistle higher. I think you should clear your head again. U ever heard all in your mind by mariah Carey. The only person who whistled higher than her is goergia brown and mini i think - not sure but don't ever say Adam lopez. Not even close
She is so beautiful, Mimi I love you, Colombia loves you!
This is a voice you can't compare or imitate, amazing!
*LYRICS*
You're with me
Till the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Till my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again
A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace
Oh
Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
'Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
Always remember
Love
There's a hero, if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer, if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you
Lord knows, dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone, tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time, you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
Nobody can take your place
You’re never too far
The emotion is overflowing. I'm crying. Thank you my forever queen for always touching my inner soul and saving my depression. 😭❤🦋
