I was there and my friends and I were amazed. This woman sang like it was still the 90s. She ain't perfect but she's as close to perfection as a live vocalist could get.
Amazing! Mariah's voice is so interesting. She can hit notes like the notes your talking about and sound like a younger Mariah. But then she'll sound strained the next round of high notes.
+mspinkytee you cannot compare the difficulty in music with Mariah Carey to any other artist. If Mariah suck to ballads and jazz and r&b, she would sound far better than all three combined. So sorry but definitely do not agree with having Mariah Carey in that same category.
I really need people to understand she obviously won't sound identical to 1990. That being said, she sounds absolutely amazing. This is still one of the most difficult songs to try and cover, for a reason. No one handles singing 5 octaves plus whistles quite like Miss Mariah ❤️ perfection as always.
+Cass 64086. Patti cant sing as high in chest anymore because she had a stroke a couple years back.Chaka sounds okay.You cant compare their voices to Mimis tho.Mariah has nodules on her chords.Its miracle she can still hit some of the notes that she hits.That is a serious medical condition for a singer.So please stop and cut the comparisons.
Can yall just fucking stop complaining, analyzing every performance and just enjoy and appreciate?! This is a fucking Legend of all Legends and she's doing her best with what she still got for us. So Shut up people
Talent like that is really hard to replicate. That's because even if some may hit the orignal high belts more easily they lack the tone the soul and the musical aura she gives off while singing
she slayed the shit outta me as always. I love that she gets up on stage and sings her ass off no matter what. Great confidence and her ad libs during the impromptu section were nice! Her tone sounds good here too.
*solid performance. if only she sang it as good as she was during her tour with lionel richie it wouldve been perfect. but still amazing. her energy is very captivating.*
wow she sounds AMAZING!!!!! love her tone & how she did certain parts different! & omg, you guys, LOOK AT THAT BODY & OUTFIT!!! she dead ass looks like a fucking PRINCESSSSS!!!! she is gorgeous!!!
Her Vegas performances are better. She did not prepare much for this I think. She loves her loyal fans so much she prepares better for her Vegas performances.
its not that she prepares more or less for either, its that she gets more vocal warmup in vegas due to how many shows she has so her vocal chords are warmed up.. this show she was actually very well prepared.. she did great.. why does everything have to always be some fucking comparison competition when it comes to this woman?!!?!? soooooo annoying
let's get just a few thing straight. Mariah has nothing to prove to you or your FLOP faves. Check the receipts and you will realize that every girl in the game is still trying to catch up where she left off in 1999. Second of all she writes ALL of her material, meanwhile these so called queens of today can't comprehend a compound sentence, yet alone lyrics or a melody. True her voice isn't what is was in 1995 but when you've been booked as much as she has, wear and tear is expected. Enjoy the video #26yearsofMariah and believe me when i say that you're fave will NEVER
Man as a true lamb it makes me so happy to see Mariah Carey slay her performances in such way. If she added the whistle back to her performances they would be 🔥🔥🔥. This is definitely on of her top five performances this year.
She has done better this year in Vegas and on SSFT, her voice was not at it best here and she seems nervous, anyway she took some risks and did pretty good. This was a decent concert.
So true , ur ennoying ! Enjoy she still sounds awesome do like her current vocals more than her 1990 vocals though. If u hav something to compain to , Do U sing it better.... no ? i thought so... ,zippitt then thank you!
*wouldve been so much better if the chorus "prayed through the 'night"" wasnt done this way.,. but the 'night' done the usual way with the double ascending belt at the end of "night" ...*
She sounded pretty decent, but you can tell time has taken its toll. But that's what happens when you don't sing as often as you used to and your voice matures and changes. It has happened to many of the greats, and only a few have maintained their voices over the decades.
This song is also 26 years old. Recorded when she was 19 (Now 46) She is killing it for a song from the past, but if we look at songs from more recent albums. She still slays those.
+Julian Donnell there are plenty artist who can still sing the songs they recorded decades ago, especially gospel artists and some girls from 90s R&B groups, some of the greats from the 70s, etc. Age changes your voice but it doesn't mean you're going to sing worse. Look at Celine. She slays her songs from decades ago because she still performs and trains. Kelly Price, Coco from SWV, Toni Braxton (you could throw in Tamar too), Karen Clark Sheard still slays til this day and she's been singing since birth and she's now middle aged. They had a tribute for her and her sisters at Essence too. You can look it up.
This is not a good performance. She sounded old and strained. She's legit lost all the seasoning in her voice. She did two *really* good ones earlier this year. She's just not consistently good live and on the spot. I've even dropped my standards for her due to her age and it being 2016, but DAMN! The effort's there so I'll take what I can get.
+Audrey The Lamb Yes, they that is exactly what the haters want. They deliberately watch her videos praying that she will destroy what is left of the greatness that she once delivered so consistently. Her voice is still unmistakable and capable of delivering a masterful performance. You can always tell a troll because they spout hateful nonsense and perpetrate as though they are just "telling the truth" or "being honest". I don't watch videos of people I don't like. Why waste the time?
Then you must not have seen any of her 90s performances, many of which are legendary. Even her 2005 BET performance of Vision of Love is unbelievable spectacular. You just gotta look up her best performances, there are many.
"she has neve delivered live" that tells everyone that you've only seen less than a few of her many many performances from beginning to now.... Don't make yourself look like a fool & go watch all her performances that you've missed, she has more than a lot
I was there and my friends and I were amazed. This woman sang like it was still the 90s. She ain't perfect but she's as close to perfection as a live vocalist could get.
Bernard Crandle speak gurl
No lies detected
She came for wigs
Shes always got that voice when she takes care of it. Never count her out lol
So luckyyyyyyyy!!!!
I was there in New Orleans. My best friend and I were stunned. She sounded absolutely amazing.
She's Mariah duh
3:55!!! OMGGG, WHAT WAS THAT???? It was soo resonant I thought it was head voice.
RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! the resonance & power in that was CRAZY!!!!!!
Amazing! Mariah's voice is so interesting. She can hit notes like the notes your talking about and sound like a younger Mariah. But then she'll sound strained the next round of high notes.
spongebob03 nodules !!!
That sounded like Daydreamriah
She was the highlight of the show !
2:25 I've never heard her do that part that way "sweet destiny" very churchy
Mariah has already sung almost 26 years . If she still sound like 90's, that would be too unreal.
Patti, Aretha, Stephanie, Chaka and many other soul singers still sounded great at her age and they still sound good even older now. No excuse.
^^ but they didnt work as hard as mimi lmao . mariah's been performing for 25 yrs now so ...
+mspinkytee you cannot compare the difficulty in music with Mariah Carey to any other artist. If Mariah suck to ballads and jazz and r&b, she would sound far better than all three combined. So sorry but definitely do not agree with having Mariah Carey in that same category.
+mspinkytee yes they maybe legends but talking about longevity I would still go for The legendary Mariah. still kicking butts after 26years!
+mspinkytee She has NODULES
That turn out "TOOOOO" sounds so jazzy OMGG!! 4:19 - 4:22
I really need people to understand she obviously won't sound identical to 1990. That being said, she sounds absolutely amazing. This is still one of the most difficult songs to try and cover, for a reason. No one handles singing 5 octaves plus whistles quite like Miss Mariah ❤️ perfection as always.
Patty Labelle is 70 still hitting her notes. Chaka Khan is 60 plus hitting her notes.
+Cass 64086 no you didn't say Chaka Khan. Have you heard Chaka lately. She sounds like shit
you right
+Cass 64086. Patti cant sing as high in chest anymore because she had a stroke a couple years back.Chaka sounds okay.You cant compare their voices to Mimis tho.Mariah has nodules on her chords.Its miracle she can still hit some of the notes that she hits.That is a serious medical condition for a singer.So please stop and cut the comparisons.
+Cass 64086 patti doesnt have the range like Mc and patti`s song arent difficult like Mc
Can yall just fucking stop complaining, analyzing every performance and just enjoy and appreciate?! This is a fucking Legend of all Legends and she's doing her best with what she still got for us. So Shut up people
amen to that dahling !!
THANK YOU
She gave her all in this. 26 years of belting and whistle
Talent like that is really hard to replicate. That's because even if some may hit the orignal high belts more easily they lack the tone the soul and the musical aura she gives off while singing
Yess!!!👏👏👏👏👏
at 3:55 though!!!!!! shit like that makes me go crazy!!! LOVE when she plays with her voice
she slayed the shit outta me as always. I love that she gets up on stage and sings her ass off no matter what. Great confidence and her ad libs during the impromptu section were nice! Her tone sounds good here too.
This is the type of stage and staging that Mariah Carey deserves at all times!
Idc what people say, to me. Her current vocals are the best so far. The most complex in tone and all. I just love her raw vocals like this
When she sung that "And it was all" adlibs near the end in falsetto, she sounded like her 1998 self! Haha
This is the most spectacular stage Mariah has ever performed on
0:40 SHE GOT IT
Always "Imitated never duplicated" !!!
Omg ,the lower note at the last part
The crowd were sleeping on her during this show even tho she slayed! Ugh
They were drunk 😁😁
Literally so much disrespect from this audience seems they live without ears or respect
Made it before the 3 haters showed up. Sure they'll be searching for this ASAP 😂😂😂
Omg i couldn't recognize u with ur new profile pic! Haha
Lmfao damn I'm too late the haters are here
lol
I absolutely LOVED her ensemble here!!! The colour, the fabric, the train!!!
She needs to replicate this for another performance!!!
4:00 I mean... OMFG ... there are no words
TALENT NEVER FADES AWAY! Bravoooooo MC!
*solid performance. if only she sang it as good as she was during her tour with lionel richie it wouldve been perfect. but still amazing. her energy is very captivating.*
be diphrent I was at that show and she sang it just as good... several TH-cam videos from that show say the same thing
wow she sounds AMAZING!!!!! love her tone & how she did certain parts different! & omg, you guys, LOOK AT THAT BODY & OUTFIT!!! she dead ass looks like a fucking PRINCESSSSS!!!! she is gorgeous!!!
Still can’t believe I was there! Most amazing singer on earth
THIS IS SO AMAZING 😭😭
Mariah SLAYED
She KILLED it!
This performance is AMAZING
Still watching in 2019 and still as obsessed. Mariah is the queen 😻
Her Vegas performances are better. She did not prepare much for this I think. She loves her loyal fans so much she prepares better for her Vegas performances.
Maybe, i'm agree with you, love her 😆
its not that she prepares more or less for either, its that she gets more vocal warmup in vegas due to how many shows she has so her vocal chords are warmed up.. this show she was actually very well prepared.. she did great.. why does everything have to always be some fucking comparison competition when it comes to this woman?!!?!? soooooo annoying
+hahahahahagaha babaha i just wanted to point out that this isnt her at her best this year
But i love this raw vocals
One word; PHENOMENAL
2:58 Eb5 ❤️
Sigh. She made me smile at the end.

Mark Sundstrom Too bad, thanks anyway for uploading

Man as a true lamb it makes me so happy to see Mariah Carey slay her performances in such way. If she added the whistle back to her performances they would be 🔥🔥🔥. This is definitely on of her top five performances this year.
Miss Carey Miss Carey she got it she got it

HATERS! where the fuck are you guys! We wanna see how stunned you look and speechless you are!
I'm a fan of Mariah but 2:58 is a bit rough... but she is still sound amazing 👍👍
+Love Nature cant expect everything to be flawless because it's live. she has done this amazing way totally out of anyone's expectation
+Mimi Carey Agree with you !! enjoy her performance so much !!
Not her best, but her voice is so beautiful 😍
As always, fabulous and oh so enjoyable to listen to. Thank you for sharing this.. :)
It's so good.. she needs more confident in this year
That last note sounded like God himself was humming.
Im a fan of her but honestly liked her more when she was covered.
She has done better this year in Vegas and on SSFT, her voice was not at it best here and she seems nervous, anyway she took some risks and did pretty good. This was a decent concert.
I can see why she is nervous so many people
oh my gosh!!!!
So true , ur ennoying ! Enjoy she still sounds awesome do like her current vocals more than her 1990 vocals though.
If u hav something to compain to , Do U sing it better.... no ? i thought so... ,zippitt then thank you!
I think she done better this song at her residency but was a powerful good performance here too..
2:15 and 3:03
Uau!
her voice sounds a bit tired when she belts, I wonder if she just needs some rest
*wouldve been so much better if the chorus "prayed through the 'night"" wasnt done this way.,. but the 'night' done the usual way with the double ascending belt at the end of "night" ...*
esta no fue una de sus mejores presentaciones
Pero después de 26 años lo hizo completamente envió y bien
cant fucken be touched! #hatersgonnahate
Women older than Mariah are able to sing their songs just fine 🤷🏾♀️
Tia Barber Mariah's songs are quite difficult and she has nodules
Damn heffa that was low 4:05
U stupid az hell!🤭😁😂🤣😂🤣🙌
The only song that she could sing totally live!
I wonder why she don't do the other ones fully live if they are not as complicated like this one…
It's really hard to listen to :(
Omg I love Mariah Carey so much but this isn't that great.. I know she can do better.
She sounded pretty decent, but you can tell time has taken its toll. But that's what happens when you don't sing as often as you used to and your voice matures and changes. It has happened to many of the greats, and only a few have maintained their voices over the decades.
actually she'd be pretty damn good if she stopped drinking so much
+CKFIERCE1 lol a perfect example of not taking care of your voice. Same thing with Whitney smoking her knee caps off.
Her Vegas performances of this are perfect.. She just didn't warm up enough like she does in Vegas
This song is also 26 years old. Recorded when she was 19 (Now 46) She is killing it for a song from the past, but if we look at songs from more recent albums. She still slays those.
+Julian Donnell there are plenty artist who can still sing the songs they recorded decades ago, especially gospel artists and some girls from 90s R&B groups, some of the greats from the 70s, etc. Age changes your voice but it doesn't mean you're going to sing worse.

They had a tribute for her and her sisters at Essence too. You can look it up.
😞😞😞😞
some ppls voice get better with age and some should retire and never sing again and Mariah Carey is the second category sorry but it needed to be said
lol a mess
aquamarine11500 its not hatin its a fact
Aaron Tart Gurl bye
aquamarine11500 bitch im not a girl the picture you see is a picture of my little cousins you moron
Omg, and who are you? What albums have you released?! Oh... what? You've done nothing and you're completely irrelevant. My bad.
she sang this songs before with whistle at the end of the song but she didn't do it with this one .....well, i guess she CAN'T do whistle now
She has been hitting the whistle notes in her emotions performance at the same event - you stupid idiot
She wanted to do a whistle in the beginning (0:26/0:27), when she touched her ear, but the music was started fast so she didn''t do it.
She did sing shit, all of her whistles are lipped in her Vegas residency even heartbreaker it's clear now .
This is not a good performance. She sounded old and strained. She's legit lost all the seasoning in her voice. She did two *really* good ones earlier this year. She's just not consistently good live and on the spot. I've even dropped my standards for her due to her age and it being 2016, but DAMN! The effort's there so I'll take what I can get.
I have to be [so] strong... - sorry, but I don't buy it.
What do you mean
When she can't take a note she oftentimes replace it with words like "so", or "you" etc.
+joletoronto She has nodules , do u want her to strain her voice and lose it even more ?
+Audrey The Lamb Yes, they that is exactly what the haters want. They deliberately watch her videos praying that she will destroy what is left of the greatness that she once delivered so consistently. Her voice is still unmistakable and capable of delivering a masterful performance. You can always tell a troll because they spout hateful nonsense and perpetrate as though they are just "telling the truth" or "being honest". I don't watch videos of people I don't like. Why waste the time?
Her performance was below average. She redeemed a little towards the end. She has never delivered live imo.
If you think she has never delivered in any performance ever u need to do ur research
Then you must not have seen any of her 90s performances, many of which are legendary. Even her 2005 BET performance of Vision of Love is unbelievable spectacular. You just gotta look up her best performances, there are many.
"she has neve delivered live" that tells everyone that you've only seen less than a few of her many many performances from beginning to now.... Don't make yourself look like a fool & go watch all her performances that you've missed, she has more than a lot
Never delivered live???? You're full of shit
