    04/27/21 UPDATE:
    Mariah Carey referenced this performance by saying, "I didn't do so great on that - I need to watch it again, you guys." It appears, Mariah *did* watch this video again, later admitting on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) “Okaaaay.. I guess it’s not so bad!”
    That would be an understatement!
    Thank you to the "Lambily" for all the views and comments on this video throughout the years!

      She realized she can’t sing like this again so she appreciates it more now. You know she ain’t lip syncing when her nostrils are wide open like here. Now she just poses and smiles like an overweight playboy bunny past her prime.

      Yeah i read it somewhere to she was sick because of which her voice sounded different it was raspy. But that just added more to the performance. True living legend. I have only been listening to her recently. I wish the present generation instead of complaint that today's music sucks will search out for older artist like Mariah and appreciate her now rather than when it's too late.

  • @uchihaitachi5905

    The thing that separates MC from the countless list of other singers who use melisma is the insane musicianship. Her melismas always seem to fit perfectly with the melody and tempo of the song, to the point where you don't even realise just how much riffing she's actually doing. It virtually never comes across as excessive, to me at least. It always seems to add meaning and expression without being done for the sake of it or to show off. Too many singers often get carried away with showing off fancy runs that display great skill and technique but little to no musicality. That for me is why MC is one of the GOATs.

    Her voice has this cloudy tone that takes you to a dreamy place of melancholic beauty mixed with nostalgia and sorrow.

Naw! But in a sense it seems like some of her own songs irritate the hell out of her to sing buttttt they are fan favorites and she cares about the songs and fans. I remember reading something in an article about famous artists who dislike to perform certain songs of theirs that are fan favorites. Madonna: Like A Virgin and Vogue, MJ: Beat It, Mariah:Hero, Celine: My Heart Will Go On, Brittany: Hit Me Baby, Gloria Estefan and a few of her songs and the list goes on. I think she is a true artist by trade though. She is very involved with her projects from the artistic standpoint and i'm not mad
