[@edwinsurijah]

There's a huge drama behind this performance. Mariah opened the show that night and she got caught in traffic jam. Her dress wasn't ready, so behind that crystal ball, she get her dress sewn. While she performed, her earpiece did not work, so she removed it and struggled to deliver it without voice monitor. That's why after she performed, she took a deep breathe and said: "We made it!!"

[@michaeljackson178]

A pro

[@andrewgarfield9898]

Where is the source for this?

[@whitsfiryellnogobyye]

Niiice filling us in on the backstory! I really wanted to know the meaning behind "we made it" because it sounded like it wasn't for no reason.

[@relll394]

Yoo she also almost fell too. If you guys look closely at 3:28 she lose a balance during the climax. Thank god she survive lmao istg that night the devil is working hard to make sure she failed but well as she said before... "we made itt!!" 💀

[@kingmulahoo4925]

sounds like my mother lol

[@susettesantiago5509]

She was singing under pressure…….and she delivered one of her best performances ever……

[@peterkrahn2224]

I've seen videos where things have gone wrong and she is a good sport with laughing it off, improvising.

[@diegoaraga415]

She always nail the bridge part of her songs. !!!

[@breakdown7683]

Probably bc she always lips it

[@lambforever2455]

+Breakdown Did she lip the whistle though? Or pre-recorded it? Because her movements are SOOO exaggerated.

[@kevincruzin]

+Lamb Forever I don't think she lipped anything because her earpiece didn't work and she had to freestyle it, that's what she said when she received an award after the performance.

[@taeydream]

+Lamb Forever the whistle was live, the belts weren't

[@jaymarkramos4272]

That why she is MARIAH

I think she did the same in the recording of her original version! nothing but RESPECT!❤

[@babyface03me]

She got bigger lung support

[@mijalakis3]

The entire audience knew that one hell of an artist performed in front of them that. Congratulations Mariah Carey you deserve to be called a living legend and your 17th #1 single is one hell of a difficult song to perform. Mid tempo, fast phrasing, complex wording, sustained belting and not to mention that it went through 3 different octaves. Thats more vocal range than most artists nowadays. Stand ovation to The Queen Miss Mariah Carey

Running late, dress broken, singing without being able to hear herself thru the earpiece. Still smiling. I Stan.

[@OmarEdwards-y3m]

[@Xammie98]

Which makes me wonder why couldn’t she do this in the new year tragedy

[@allanpaologupit4942]

I LITERALLY CRIED AFTER WATCHING THIS AGAIN AFTER SO MANY YEARS. THE AUDIENCE LOVED HER SO MUCH AND WAS SO HAPPY SHE PERFORMED IN FRONT OF THEM LIVE!

[@soaribb32]

The ear piece wasn't working and she still slayed.

[@MrEricrockinout]

This is not lipped... Listen to her breathing for christ's sake. NOTHING and NO ONE is better than Mariah when she concentrates on hitting all the right notes.. She is fucking amazing.

[@ToxicWareProductions]

Not only that, you can hear her nodules in the ending climax

[@jacobkline8734]

Great performance! ❤❤❤❤❤Mariah Carey is my favorite singer of all time! I'm 38 and people only hate on her for the very far and few between bad performances of her! Never the amazing stuff like stellar performances and concert performances all over the world, plus Las Vegas shows! But people instead criticize her and she's not relevant anymore! In my eyes she's beautiful on the inside and out! Her songs have always been there for me my whole life! Soundtrack to my life! I love watching her live performances and studio of course!💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶

[@monicalamb4life461]

Stop using Christ name as a cuss word SMH use ur mothers name.

[@gknowles9172]

That ending saved her life lol - she nailed it

[@stragh8er214]

Dang, with Mariah's technique you could understand how hard it is to sing without ear monitors. The first and second part has whispers/falsetto in it but she didn't do it and belted those parts instead because it's freakin hard to sing in whisper/falsetto without hearing yourself. Mariah, you a beast!

[@TheMariahxoxo]

this song to this day is so underrated , i love it so much

[@philippejean2345]

Her 17th number 01.

[@ZiggySlay1999]

The true artistry popped out at around 2:10 and I felt so proud for her… 100% live, beautiful real artist at its finest ❤️‍🔥🙌🏽

[@Impervious_]

I believe most her live performances in 2005 were being sabotage, but she always come out the winner

[@devinglasco1850]

Right omg they did not want her to win

[@faithoffaith]

Who else is here after her performance at the 50th AMA's? I miss this confident Mariah.

[@y2kfacucoco]

This era was a fever dream

[@mijalakis3]

When she is in the climax and sings "I'm just SPeaking from experience" in the "SP" you can hear the air coming out of her mouth strongly and hitting the mic. Also at the end of the sustained she changes pitch and starts moving the mic further apart and adds vibratto then the sound is lower because she pulled the mic away from her mouth. I hate when people always say she lip synchs just because she nails a performance. We are talking about Mariah Carey here, considered one of the most accomplished vocalists in the music industry ever so it shouldn't shock she is that good on stage

[@susettesantiago5509]

A standing ovation…….from her peers…….she saaaaaaaang……….she didn’t have time to be too nervous she was on fire 🔥

[@CuriousChen]

WOW!!! She is incredible. She still shines so much despite the malfunction of her earpiece monitor.

[@JadedMirrors]

This solidifies why there will never be another Mariah Carey

[@chray2706]

It was not lipped . Every performances in a prestigious awards night should be performed live . Have you seen people's reaction ? :)

[@arianeartates2453]

Yes that’s true

[@ianbraille]

the first few parts were live...the bridge towards the end, TOTALLY LIPPED!

[@fernandaaleixomarliere5789]

The end was, specially the last note

[@m.ca45]

@@ianbraille the last note was not lipped. you can hear her get a bit shaky towards the last part of the note when she moves the mic away. u can also hear the vocals distance as she moves the mic away.

[@marissamayhem6504]

@@ianbraille the end was not lipped, go find me another performance with that exact vocal arrangement.

[@starrynights7679]

To that thing that said she was drunk. She had a wardrobe malfunction the slit had went up to high any wrong movement and it would have fell right off on top of that the sound issues. She couldn't hear herself with the feedback so she basically fress styled the entire performance.

[@kevincruzin]

I think she did really good for her earpiece not working at all and one wrong move and that dress would reveal it all

[@iammeriah9594]

It’s live ! You can hear at the end when she’s belting , u can hear how her nodules affect her belting, there’s slight whistles coming out from all the air she belting out.

[@rockerfeller2014]

I've been told those "whistles" are just malfunctioning equipment, you hear this "whistling" in a lot of her performances during playback in the mid-late 2000s

[@GarageStudio7]

​@@rockerfeller2014Tech was more advanced in the mid-late 90s than late 90s to early 2009s, yet when she would lip-sync in the late 90s, that wouldn't happen. She's singing completely live and her peers in the industry even know it hence the standing ovation despite all the mishaps.

[@udontknowmyname0623]

Girl she is pushing air.. she is lip syncing

[@dyonmusiq]

A lot of artist wouldn’t be able to still have a smile on their face with all that mess going on behind stage .. bravo Mimi we love you

[@luiman100]

Fuck all ! those who do not appreciate your talent Mariah.

[@tangled55]

Even given the drama that happened with her dress and almost being late for this performance, I must say, this is probably the most COMFORTABLE she's EVER been on stage. EVER. She's MOVING AROUND and while concentrating to sing, I can tell she's not caring about every note. Seriously. Think about it. Prior to 2005 and post. She is RELAXED.

[@sespringstead24]

I saw her sing this live in Vegas. She sounds so strong live I’m so thankful I saw her live.

[@JamieCleaton1]

Unfortunately, she’s kept the same vocal track lol

[@stevea3839]

Funny thing about the lipsyncing accusations is that Mariah took off her ear piece so when would she have known that the backtrack kicked in? Just enjoy that damn performance it was free it's not like you paid to watch her in a concert and she lipped...

_You have to understand just how difficult it is to sing without properly working ear monitors. That did not stop Mariah from simply singing to the track 'live' sans any audio assistance. And yes, she left it out there on the stage like she always does._

@@alwayspink07 i cant say that it is and i cant say it isnt hahaha. I guess every hits are rooted to one constructed identity.

[@mijalakis3]

Actually is not, the song has longer bridges, faster tempo it seems like it because of the radical key change, however she always produces her songs with strong climaxes in order to build up for the listener and since her voice allows her to do it she makes dramatic changes. Let's not forget that this album was the head of the entire RnB successful chart era, she is still up to this day one of the most prolific RnB singers out there and that type of music has a very specific cuntrucrion being that is based on specific rhythm and likeness of blues with hip hop infusion. She was the pioneer of incorporating rap and hip hop to vocal pop.

[@mijalakis3]
