Mariah Carey It's Like That Live@VH1

One of my most fav lives of it's like that. Fire,it was on fire.

Tommy made it his goal that Mariah’s careere died in the 90s. This is a massive FU to Tommy and his associates who tried to bury Mariah under a mountain of negative press in the news, tabloids and gossip columns.

[@ashm7922]

@@Tcottong "Making the most of life" sounds different here tho...(particularly "most" sounds a little pitchier).I know when she is using playback and when she isn't. This was the same night she song that rendition of With You I'm Born Again which she killed. Her vocals were on fire this night. You really don't believe she could replicate studio vocals?

[@justineraytizon4118]

@@Tcottong "just making the" is the part that's lipped to give Mariah time to prepare for "most of life". The same is true for the rest of the phrased high notes part. She probably was feeling confident in this performance but she still needed a bit of a boost so she'd lip the part prior to the big notes. So it's not 100% live but at least she did the high notes live, cause in this era, she could.

1,000% Live. 3 live F#5s, even after the "vocal decline". I love her confidence here and love her raspy belts

[@breakdown7683]

The belts were lipped :/ but still an amazing performance, she had some stage presence back then

[@ThiHills]

Breakdown They sounds ALL live for me. And very different from all other It's like that performances in 2005, including both @ BET. That's why I commented.

[@breakdown7683]

Different doesn't mean live. Her voice was very raspy in this performance, so if the belts were live they would have sounded way more strained. She also struggled with some live notes, so there's no way she could have hit those notes with so much ease. 3:35 to 4:00 sounded totally lipped, totally vocally disconnected from the rest of the performance. She never sang that part of It's Like That live.

[@ThiHills]

Breakdown And what are the parts that she belted a no raspy belt here? All they sound raspy for me.

[@breakdown7683]

Those belts were pre recorded. Her voice was tired here and she was moving like crazy between 3:35 and 4:00. You can also compare the tone quality difference between the live parts and the climax.
