[@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……

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.

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!💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶

[@devinglasco1850]

Right omg they did not want her to win

[@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

[@dyonmusiq]

[@billiswilling]

this performance is priceless, i dont get tired of listening to it. that final "US!" is mind-blowing!

[@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.

[@martinkreps9946]

Wow! She really *nailed* that ending! This just goes to show that Mariah is a *true,* *true* legend!

[@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

[@faithoffaith]

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

[@chray2706]

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...

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@90sKidsSchoolLibrary]

Her voice didn't sound strong here. But what were people expecting a 1990-1995 Mariah Carey? I hope not. Whose voice really stays the same? Aretha, Whitney, Mariah and Celine Dion all sound different from what they sounded like when they started. Maybe some of the damage done was self inflicted but age is a man factor I think. All the ladies I mentioned can still/could outsing many of the young talent in the industry today. This was a good performance because she showed what her voice was still amazing.

[@taeydream]

Mariah actually had some amazing performances from this era. Her voice sounded particularly strong during the Emancipation of Mimi era (2005-2006) and the E=MC2 era (2008). This was just an off-day, I guess (she was really pitchy and her voice was cracking and breaking a lot). Listen to her performance of Fly Like a Bird at the 2006 Grammy's (it was in a medley, but skip We Belong Together because it wasn't as good) and We Belong Together at the MTV Movie Awards.

[@90sKidsSchoolLibrary]

I agree with you 100% just irks me when people compare amazing talent to what they used to sound like.

[@taeydream]

Whitney Fan Yeah, like I love Mariah, but I can accept when she sounds bad or when she lip syncs. I just like to be realistic.
