You were absolutely correct. She was forced to do this MTV Unplugged to shut the rumors about her being a studio artist. Look at now, she's a legend and an icon that most of the pop girls look up to.
Yes Mariah was being heavily criticized during this time. This is due in large part over the Milli Vanilli scandal. Since Mariah had done only a few live performances up until this time, many thought she may be another fake singer the music industry put out. Her voice was so unique and had such a range it was hard for people to believe a voice like that really existed and they were still really jaded by the Milli Vanilli debacle. Mariah took the opportunity with the MTV unplugged. People knew MTV unplugged reputation for microphone and live instruments and were shocked with this performance and became highly requested to play on mtv that they released it as an album and VHS of here performance. This was a pivotal moment in her career. This EP stayed on the billboard 200 charts for 57 weeks.... Wow
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are in a class of their own. Those two ladies, not only had/have God-given talent but they worked hard and have mad hits. Many other singers may have good voices but they are not on the level of these two ladies. They were able to become friends because talent recognizes talent.
Yes her vocals are insane with this show. She has another single called " Bliss " that she wrote for 1999 album Rainbow that she basically whistles throughout most of the song & she is singing words into her whistles as well. Mentioning her covers she also did on her albums were " The beautiful ones " by Prince, " against all odds " by Phil Collins, " bringing on the heartbreak " by Def Leppard, " i want to know what love is " by Foreigner & " one more try " by George Michael. Oh & Badfinger was the original for Without You
And that pianist too was GETTIN’ it! I mean I have no words for Mariah’s voice here. INSANE. But that pianist man was slaying. Mariah also silenced the critics that said she was only a studio songbird with this performance.
I’ve watched this 100s times through the years, and it’s still amazing. She’s amazing, so underrated as a songwriter. She, Whitney & Michael Jackson are forever the greatest of all time. Thank you for appreciating Mariah, God bless her and you.
When this came out it was INSANE!!! And also this started the Mariah thing about doing covers, here her most succesfull one: I'll be there, which went to number 1.
I had the unplugged CD and i wore it out !! Still have the CD ! Love Mariah till this day ! Ans yes, this was when the critics were accusing her of not being able to sing live, but she said she had stage fright .. also Chante Moore can also do the whistle register. Check her out live singinf its alright her voice is magical, and she hits that whistle effortlessly as well !
Ah feels like yesterday when we first listened to this performance. Still getting goosebumps! I grew up in that goldern era of Mariah and have loved her ever since. So refreshing to see you appreciate the Queen! ❤
@@jokina9289 A singer is never made up of their voice alone. We need to see how that singer uses his voice. And how they have contributed to music in general. There are many other voices like Whitney's, but no one has used their voice as extraordinarily as Mariah.
Also please react to Mariah Carey tokyo dome concert back in 1996!! And her undubbed madison square garden performances. From that day. No other vocalist female or male can top it. It's magical and you guys WILL FALL IN LOVE!! From her tokyo dome concert. Try and react to Hero, Without you, Anytime you need a friend, Always be my baby, Forever, and Fantasy! For her undubbed Madison Square Garden tour. Listen to "Make it happen" and "Open Arms" Her VOICE WAS RINGING WITH RESONANCE!!
CAN U GUYS PLEASE REACT TO FOREVER!!! THAT IS HER MOST DIFFICULT SONG IN THE WORLDDD!! IN MY OPINON! I think it's even HARDER THAN EMOTIONS! Yes, that is hard to believe!! But I really do believe you guys would lose your minds over that one! That would be an amazing reaction. Also, LOVE TAKES TIME IS MY FAVORITE MARIAH SONG EVER!! It got me through so much of my depression. I love you guys so much and I just discovered the both of you, and I DO NOT REGRET IT! Thank you for taking out the time to react my favorite Mariah song. You both work hard, and I forever will appreciate that! Thank you again! BUT! If you can, that would be cool to react to her song "forever" From her Daydream Album, thank you for all that you both do again!
I can think of two other singers who are just as good and precede Mariah Carey check Mimi Riperton''s live performance of "Loving you". The other one is Lisa Fisher her live version if "Ease the pain". Both ladies talent is beyond insane.
I recommand you Morissette Amon a filipina singer performed live BEST OF MY LOVE AND EMOTIONS by Mariah Carey at Asia Song Festival 2017. She's amazing too.
Please react to young Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique. Il admire He admires Mariah Carey and sings Emotions, My All, Lead Away... with a great command of Whistel tone.It's truly amazing. #gabrielhenrique
If you think this is amazing what you need to do is listen to Rachelle Ferrelle Open Arms live at the Apollo you can find it on TH-cam. You will not look at Mariah Carey the same. And i love Mariah Carey, but Rachelle is in a planet all to herself.
Chantee didn’t have the vocal demand Mariah did when Sony exploited her. Chatee’s whistle is NOT as potent, NOT as agile, NOT as musical and NOT as creative a Mariah’s.
Great reaction you guys! Thanks for reacting MC and Whitney Houston as well. I want to recommend watching I Want to Know What Love Is by a Filipino Singer named Morissette Amon - th-cam.com/video/eo0NBzEDVsU/w-d-xo.html . Hope you guys will also love her vocal talent. She whistles on this song as well. She covers MC from this song.
Great reaction!! If you like this, please react to Ariana Grande's live performances. She also covered emotions by mariah so you should check that out too.
so refreshing to see two straight dudes stanning Mariah this hard. lol
😂😂
@@TheTwerkEthicShow
Morissette amon.
Asia Song festival 2017
Mushup best my love/emotion
No@@brunodemarchis4533
Hardest song by a female artist. Singing this requires wide vocal range. Stamina and Agility
hardest song is some other Mariah Carey song, maybe fly like bird, lead the way, forever, etc...
@@nnajiugochukwu3810 But why Forever always on “ the hardest songs “ list though.
It’s not that hard of a song.
I like it anyways.
Welp… 🤷♂️

That was pretty dumb considering she already did like 50 live performances before this.
@@strangerthings88 exactly!
And thankfully so, unplugged is one of my favorite albums 😍
It really was. But she had not done a tour so a lot of music journalists convinced themselves she couldn't perform as well live.

why whitney fans always have to bring whitney on mariah's video? lambs arent doint that...
Whitney had a great voice- is nowhere near in the league of Mariah’s artistry and musicianship
Mariah and Whitney 💕 very true. They are in a class of their own. Two extremely gifted women. May Whitney rest 💕
Celine too
@@deerlyloveThat's what I'm also thinking 🤔
3:45 Fun Fact: Randy Jackson from American Idol is the bass player in this video lol he worked with Mariah throughout her career
Mariah has all the elements of singing in her…what a gift!
For a non-lamb, JT knows pretty lots of stuff about Mariah. I am so impressed 👏
Also, I always love Cooley's puns lmao. So hilarious lol
he might be hidden lamb, hahaha.
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!! ❤

BRINGING ON THE HEARTBREAK IS SO UNDERRATEDDD
Harry Nielson was the original for Without You
And that pianist too was GETTIN’ it! I mean I have no words for Mariah’s voice here. INSANE. But that pianist man was slaying. Mariah also silenced the critics that said she was only a studio songbird with this performance.
Fun fact the Pianist here is David Cole from C+C Music Factory fame.
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston have God on their side! they are in a world of their own and deserve their titles! Absolutely impeccable! Insane!
I’ve watched this 100s times through the years, and it’s still amazing. She’s amazing, so underrated as a songwriter. She, Whitney & Michael Jackson are forever the greatest of all time.
Thank you for appreciating Mariah, God bless her and you.
She was unbeatable on that time , perfection ! Anybody close ❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate this reaction. I’ve been a lamb for 30 years and she still amazes me

Ah feels like yesterday when we first listened to this performance. Still getting goosebumps! I grew up in that goldern era of Mariah and have loved her ever since. So refreshing to see you appreciate the Queen! ❤
Mariah did a cover of Def Leppard’s Bringin’ on The Heartache that I’m sure you’d appreciate 😊
She also covered I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner
Def Leppard appreciated it themselves!
Keep the Mariah reactions coming!!!!!
the tokyo dome concert in 1996 is probably the best display of vocals ever. highly recommend
Mariah has surpassed Whitney Houston, but most people aren't ready to talk about it.
Mariah could play around with her voice, yes, but Whitney had THE VOICE, and everybody knows 😘👍
💯
Shhh… don’t say the obvious quiet part out loud!!!
You gonna stir something in the fandom.
Haha 😂 😂

There is a studio version of this MTV unplugged concert it’s on Apple Music. It has the entire live show
Chante Moore, wolf James, even David ruffin did whistle tones live.
Ari and Tori Kelly sing with this kind of flexibility and range.
Nobody else could whistle like that but Minnie Ripperton 😢
Songbird supreme
Someday MTV unplugged is otherworldly

I could definitely suggest taking a look at the 2006 Grammys performance of the songs We Belong Together/Fly Like a Bird .
It was a cultural reset.
If needed you can take a look in this video which is on 4k and 60fps
I recommand you Morissette Amon a filipina singer performed live BEST OF MY LOVE AND EMOTIONS by Mariah Carey at Asia Song Festival 2017. She's amazing too.
Um this is the studio version you guys said they should do. She performed live yes but the cd release was this dubbed version.
You should react to the whole MTV Unplugged. Was a unic moment in time.
If im abducted by a time travelling alien and they ask me to bring one person to sing for my freedom I am bringing The Mariah Carey from 1993-1996.
Mariaaaahhhhh❤❤❤
welcome to the lambily 💋💓
A ghost has to startle me for me to hit as high as a quarter of her high notes.
Chante Moore has an amazing whistle note!! She is another fav!
Chantelle Moore is doing it now ,and whistling way more
I think you have to watch the beautiful performance of Morissette Amon _ EMOTIONS AND BEST OF MY LOVE (MASHUP) Asia Festival Song 2017.
Please react t9 Mariah's BET Blueprint rendition of We belong together live 2005 or 2006 Grammy performance of We belong together and Fly like a bird.
That bass player is Randy Jackson
You should definitely check out her 1991 live version from Arsenio Hall show, she went even HIGHER with the whistles in the end!
Please react to young Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique. Il admire He admires Mariah Carey and sings Emotions, My All, Lead Away... with a great command of Whistel tone.It's truly amazing. #gabrielhenrique
You guys for sure need to check out her performance with the SNL bad of If It’s Over 1990!

PLEASE REACT TO HER NEW REMIX OF PORTRAIT!!!!!
Yall should react to Ariana Grande's live version of this!
Do her(Mariah) Cover of Bringing on The heartbreak by Def Leopard
If you think this is amazing what you need to do is listen to Rachelle Ferrelle Open Arms live at the Apollo you can find it on TH-cam. You will not look at Mariah Carey the same. And i love Mariah Carey, but Rachelle is in a planet all to herself.
can you reacting to open arms by her too
Hi guys, just came across your channel. Can you post a reaction to Rachelle Ferrell's song "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This">
Chante Moore is still doing Whistle notes decades into her career. Live.
So is Mariah, what's your point.
@@whitneyhouston1122 They said who else is singing like this. That’s my point. It wasn’t an indictment of Mariah.
@@dreambrother82 respectfully, we're appreciating more than whistle notes here.
@@chrisanthemum7 as am I.
Chantee didn’t have the vocal demand Mariah did when Sony exploited her. Chatee’s whistle is NOT as potent, NOT as agile, NOT as musical and NOT as creative a Mariah’s.
May I suggest you sir listen to version of morrisette amon from Philippines much higher than that
Great reaction you guys! Thanks for reacting MC and Whitney Houston as well. I want to recommend watching I Want to Know What Love Is by a Filipino Singer named Morissette Amon - th-cam.com/video/eo0NBzEDVsU/w-d-xo.html . Hope you guys will also love her vocal talent. She whistles on this song as well. She covers MC from this song.
Stop this! Lol. Enough of these Filipino click baits. Lol
ARIANA GRANDE - EMOTIONS，the best Cover!
Great reaction!! If you like this, please react to Ariana Grande's live performances. She also covered emotions by mariah so you should check that out too.
Ariana's "cover" is studio work and pure autotune... And it's not worth listening either cause she didn't bring any twist to it.
I love Mariah's voice, but there are some dubbed parts in this performance and in the Unplugged at all.
Кого вы блюрите??
Unfortunately, it was dubbed. Undubbed version is very different.
The Queen of dubbed vocal recordings presented as authenthic by her sound engineers to unsuspecting fans like these reactors
I don't understand all the accolades over her squeaking.
Easy subscribe...I COMPLETELY FUX WITH Y'ALL
yall some cool white boys
