I love her voice in this performance. Everyone makes a big deal for her upper chest but her low to mid range is the best. That rasp is the reason I like Mariah; it's raw, soulful and powerful. I hope that on the next album we get to hear more like this because she uses it on Right To Dream and it is getting rave reviews across the board.
The vocal run at 1:50 is a perfect example of why I love Mariah Carey; raw and passionate yet controlled and fluid. If she could sound like this in her upcoming performances, I would be more than happy.
One of her most emotional performances. This still effects me after nearly a decade has passed. From an purely soulful point of view, truly one of her best.
This is just wonderful.Mariah sings with all her heart and soul.She performed "If Only You Knew" by Patti LaBelle truly great.Two beautiful and remarkable women under one roof.Awesome.
This is truely an emotional performance !!! She doesnt need to hit a high note, thats enough to show her unique voice !!! so powerful ! she never outdo other singers but actually she can with her high note!! MC u rock!!!
I didn't recognize first the song, but it's the first time I hear it... and in France I never saw it so thank you for this video!! Mariah is a real diva
Mariah will always be my No.1 favourite. Even if she can't "sing like that anymore" (which can be debated), her decades of success command respect and of course a loyal following.
i get goose bumps wen i hear her singing live,who could ever hate her voice,and haters dont hate yeh,get a life,if u dont like her(mariah)then why search her name 4,rest my case,love u mariah c,xx
True. I'm glad she takes care not to sing live ALL the time, especially with all of her appearances. I want to be hearing that voice many years to come :)
it was one of her latest performances in which she tried to pull a song when her voice was really gone by those days. It was right after she finished her 98 tour I guess it was in that little period after the Australia leg and before the Hawaii one... At least she tried but even Patti sang that song way much better. And the one who's sing that song closer to the original with a beautiful and clear powerful voice is Leona Lewis
OMG amazing! Just fell in love with Mariah all over again! I've never seen or even heard of this performance before! Was it at VH1 Divas Live? Does anyone know?
how are you serious? Mariah has an amazing voice period ; she is ridiculous live - every other singer shys away from high notes in concerts but Mariah belts those things out on key.
i think it would be hard in this day in age to find a female singer who can really sing with her, some singers just dominate songs no matter who they sing them with
@songofpraise88 LOL! Are you kidding me right now? Do you know how many people in the industry would love to come even CLOSE to what you just heard? Her runs sound raw and beautiful, which explains the 270k views and 697 likes. Your opinion doesnt seem up to par LOL, and this is coming from a "true fan" as well
ive seen the behind the scenes coverage of this show and it was told there that mariah was informed on that very same day that she was going to perform so she immediately got out of bed and went to the show. no practice at all, just a couple of sound checks..
the hair...well yeah, it was a style thing she was going through at the time. remember the hair in the first divas live concert in 1999? that was some crazy hair.
yeah but the thing is that she was doing a tribute to Patti, and when she does these tributes to her idols she usually tries not to oversing or do a lot of vocal acrobatics. She's not trying to outsing Patti - just paying respect. Did u see the version of "You and I" on the Stevie Wonder tribute?
neither one of us wanted to be criticized by the others...just keep in mind this...can you do what she can do?if yes, fine, if not, just let her do her thing..peace!
I dont see where her voice is damaged. It's still beutiful as ever. Mariah you're the best. I think she just changes her voice so some of these morons know when she is lip singing and when she isnt.
don'see why evrybody's throwing all this bad at mariah. SHE'S GREEEEEAAAT!!!! there are no one and will never be anyone like her. although i prefer the earlier stuff she did. today it's just so fixed on sex. come on, she's 36. she don't need to be doin that.
Wow... not feeling the dress that much... the hair's a tad to big, and she's too controlled with her singing! As a Mariah fan, she needed to hit a high note somewhere... like at the end. What tribute to Patti LaBelle was this from?
First of all you dont know anything about Vocals. Mariah and Madonna are not on the same level vocally, at fucking all.. Do some research, tell me what you think. Yeah Madonna used to be able to put on a better show, but as far as Mariah Being known for her vocals alone, only Aretha, Gladys and her forerunners have done that
you may be neutral but your like so many other people. your judgemental....either appreciate her talent or judge someone else...you dont even know her...lol
I love her voice in this performance. Everyone makes a big deal for her upper chest but her low to mid range is the best. That rasp is the reason I like Mariah; it's raw, soulful and powerful.

She´s tottaly perfect !!! just amazing...
She always makes me feel so emotional with her voice!
Luv Mariah 4evah!
The vocal run at 1:50 is a perfect example of why I love Mariah Carey; raw and passionate yet controlled and fluid. If she could sound like this in her upcoming performances, I would be more than happy.
She'S just perfect !!!! No matter what others said SHE'S THE DIVA,THE VOICE,THE
THE ONE AND ONLY MARIAH CAREY!
One of her most emotional performances. This still effects me after nearly a decade has passed. From an purely soulful point of view, truly one of her best.
downright amazing. in my eyes this was mariah at her peak. she's just so incredibly beautiful, assured & soulful here.
This is just wonderful.Mariah sings with all her heart and soul.She performed "If Only You Knew" by Patti LaBelle truly great.Two beautiful and remarkable women under one roof.Awesome.
I agree,mariah carey is still the best till the end of time...and foreverrrrr.....her voice makes me fly like a bird to the sky...
This is truely an emotional performance !!!
She doesnt need to hit a high note, thats enough to show her unique voice !!!
so powerful ! she never outdo other singers but actually she can with her high note!!
MC u rock!!!
Mariah,como me gustaria q grabaras esas canciones, hacen palpitar mi corazon en estos dias que estoy tan deprimido y me hacen tener fe y esperanza.
Mariah is one of the most amazing gifts from God.
I always loved how emotional she got in this performance. I love the wild hair too. Great version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
I didn't recognize first the song, but it's the first time I hear it... and in France I never saw it so thank you for this video!! Mariah is a real diva
Miss Carey If only you knew q eres la unica DIVA que brilla mas por todo lo alto del arcoiris.
WOw....There's so much emotions in this 2:33 mins song... Amazing...Just amazing...
P E R F E C T.

Mariah will always be my No.1 favourite. Even if she can't "sing like that anymore" (which can be debated), her decades of success command respect and of course a loyal following.

This was at a tribute television special in honor of Patti Labelle in 1997. It aired on Fox.
wow..i almost cried.
I Loved It!!!!
amazing !! she hit sucha low note at 00:07 like really low.. wow !
I love this video,.., that was the Patti Labelle special, rite? If only you knew/somwhere over the rainbow medley... this is HOT>.. LOVE YOU MARIAH!
omg. i love it
If it's one thing Mariah knows how to do is a cover song. Makes me excited to hear I Wanna Know What Love is!
mariah is the best female vocalist in the world...classical, contemporary, or otherwise.
i don't now what's the matter with her hair.. but she was awesomeee! i still love heeeer!!!!♥
certified diVa~ she's shinning despite of the few flaws that she went through not so long ago!
you are so right. She use to kill it back on things like Lady Marmalade. She doesn't sound like that anymore.
Nice scaling...low high low high...great rendition!
One of my favorites of Mariah, GET IT BITCH!
True. I'm glad she takes care not to sing live ALL the time, especially with all of her appearances. I want to be hearing that voice many years to come :)
That was 98. This performance was around the same time as Divas.
it was one of her latest performances in which she tried to pull a song when her voice was really gone by those days. It was right after she finished her 98 tour I guess it was in that little period after the Australia leg and before the Hawaii one... At least she tried but even Patti sang that song way much better.

how are you serious? Mariah has an amazing voice period ; she is ridiculous live - every other singer shys away from high notes in concerts but Mariah belts those things out on key.
if only you knew and somewhere over the rainbow both sung by patti labelle this was part of a tribute patti
i think it would be hard in this day in age to find a female singer who can really sing with her, some singers just dominate songs no matter who they sing them with
Cuando le haran un tributo a Mariah? seria magnifico ver a patti labelle, aretha franklin, whitney houston participar en un tributo para Miss Carey
whoever wrote/composed this song is brilliant...i like mariahs old music more....i guess its more inspiring...but her rnb style is still great
@songofpraise88 LOL! Are you kidding me right now? Do you know how many people in the industry would love to come even CLOSE to what you just heard? Her runs sound raw and beautiful, which explains the 270k views and 697 likes. Your opinion doesnt seem up to par LOL, and this is coming from a "true fan" as well
@songofpraise88 LOL! The record sales speak for themselves
patti labell is mariahs farry-godmother, or how ever thats called
ive seen the behind the scenes coverage of this show and it was told there that mariah was informed on that very same day that she was going to perform so she immediately got out of bed and went to the show. no practice at all, just a couple of sound checks..

brilliant... patti could be prowd to have mariah to performed this song
neither one of us wanted to be criticized by the others...just keep in mind this...can you do what she can do?if yes, fine, if not, just let her do her thing..peace!
This is shocking proof of the fact that by 1998 Mariah had already seriously damaged her vocal cords by overworking it.
@Star4u1201 Anyone can sell records. Look @ Rihanna. And I love Mariah Carey...im just a true fan and know when shes not up to par
all i know this song is a tribute of mariah to patti label (did i type the right spelling?) hehehehe :)
what's the name of the song
It was 1997-1998 ^^
wasnt this a patti labelle special????
wrong this was after butterfly...but this was wonderful
Incredible thts my baby lol
Catch a sneak preview of Laura Warwick's live session here: youtube. com/watch?v=YawII61I_k4
I dont see where her voice is damaged. It's still beutiful as ever. Mariah you're the best.
I think she just changes her voice so some of these morons know when she is lip singing and when she isnt.
don'see why evrybody's throwing all this bad at mariah. SHE'S GREEEEEAAAT!!!! there are no one and will never be anyone like her. although i prefer the earlier stuff she did. today it's just so fixed on sex. come on, she's 36. she don't need to be doin that.
? well listen again and reanswer, is that what you typed? if so, you need to listen again

A new video of MC
If Only You Knew
...Somewhere Over the rainbow
whitney is the beat
If only you knew, it's Patti Labelle's song.
this is when she was starting to lose it!
@songofpraise88 Um no...that's a lie. lol
How? Does she not have more power than this? Not that this wasn't powerful. Let's see if Jessica Simpson can do this.
Wow... not feeling the dress that much... the hair's a tad to big, and she's too controlled with her singing! As a Mariah fan, she needed to hit a high note somewhere... like at the end. What tribute to Patti LaBelle was this from?
I think Jennifer Hudson would have done Pattie LaBelle much better
@baretreemty ll is a mariah copycat who cannot compare to the melismatic genius of the original.
um..she was all over the place and her runs were uncohesive.
wow that was amazing..too bad she can't sing like that anymore
I love Mariah, but I wasn't too big a fan of this performance. Oh well...
ur experiment went haywired, dats how u ended up with dat screwed conclusion of urs... trying manipulating MORE variables
First of all you dont know anything about Vocals. Mariah and Madonna are not on the same level vocally, at fucking all.. Do some research, tell me what you think. Yeah Madonna used to be able to put on a better show, but as far as Mariah Being known for her vocals alone, only Aretha, Gladys and her forerunners have done that
you may be neutral but your like so many other people. your judgemental....either appreciate her talent or judge someone else...you dont even know her...lol
unique voice but isn't the best. yeah she's screaming when hitting a sharp note
mmmm she isn't singing good any more, celine dion still sings great!!
where is whitney today ....she cant sing...
hater
