Encore: “Hero” by Mariah Carey (Live at 2023 Los Angeles Pride)

Mariah performed “Hero” as an unplanned encore. It was my
favorite moment of the entire set!

[@t.p.0104]

Something about this particular performance makes it extra special, it makes me cry😢

[@JcFabuleux]

i felt that too!!!

Flat notes are not special

[@fernando_alfradique]

This is beyond beautiful! Not because she sounded better, but because she delivered an emotional, raw performance. Such a powerful moment 😢❤

[@facuuaf]

Her musicality and ability to stay on key is unparalleled

[@earth_pilgrim]

One of the best hero performances in ages ! Love the free flowing energy she is bringing to this

[@t.p.0104]

Love how the crowd ran back to stage coz there's more😆

[@EmAnthony661]

I was actually shocked so many people left as if an encore isn’t normal! The beginning of the video is from where I was originally standing! All that empty space in front of me was filled with people! I stayed waiting, and once she started again I made sure to walk closer!

[@anton6998]

She's sounding less hoarse than the previous performances. That's good.

[@edgarmacias5839]

I'd love to hear YOUR vocals. Not really.

"there's a hero if you look inside your heart you don't have to be afraid of what you are"... now that is an anthem for the gay pride!!! love you M

[@thethrowbackqueen]

we all left already i knew she was gonna sing Hero.

[@rogerbetka7564]

She sounded amazing. I knew i should have gone. Couldnt afford the tix.

[@kenixandra]

Aww man!

[@EmAnthony661]

I almost didn’t go because of the ticket prices constantly getting raised as the event drew nearer! I feel you!

[@rogerbetka7564]

​@@EmAnthony661 This last year was awful for me financially. I will see her in concert someday, I guess it just has to wait.

[@stefanothegr8138]

She literally sounds just like she did in 1993 😭❤️

[@Petlover10000]

Are you serious? She sounds not the same as in 1993, she couldn't hit the high notes anymore.

[@fate5150]

​@@Petlover10000I think they mean her tone, in later performances she had a deeper, drier tone than here

[@PDC1987]

So basically you were born in 2005?

[@Petlover10000]

@@PDC1987 No. she obviously and definitely doesn’t sound the same as she was younger. It is pretty normal and happens to every singing artist.

[@stefanothegr8138]

Y’all some haters

[@orielespinosa6208]

This song means so much today more than ever due to the political situation we are living. So much hate towards our community but we dont have to be afraid of who we are! A hero lies in all of us!

[@chrishernandez7963]

I was so sad I missed the encore 😭. I tried to go to the bathroom after her last song but they funneled us out of the park so I was like ok I guess we’re done and got a hotdog when I heard the cheering and she started singing again. I’m such a bad 🐑😭. Thanks for sharing the video tho!

[@EmAnthony661]

I can’t believe they did that! I’m so sad you missed out!

[@danmei-mariah-taylor-BL]

[@djm4854]

Imagine being a person who walks AWAY from a concert as Mariah sings. Yes, we are judging you, and we also gonna go ahead and pray for you. Bc you must be a very very lost lamb.

[@EmAnthony661]

Soooo many people walked away after the “last song” but I knew an encore was going to happen! I didn’t budge from my original vantage point waiting for it to happen!

[@blueblackyellow]

Fuck she sounded like young mariah.

[@iamlove9114]

Her mic is sooo lowwww?? Whaaat ?

[@EmAnthony661]

A lot of us thought so throughout the entire set.

[@slssonesnsd5239]

Hopefully she re-arr to the lower key than this..

[@smulemaster]

This is beautiful but the amount of trash is so sad 🥺🥺🥺

[@markvaseline266]

What happened to the beautiful voice

[@jayZjamesvi]

the chipmunk voice is gone now?

[@timgkjyjhggadhfijhx2654]

So when you feel like voice is gone...she's sadly no longuer able to sing correctly

[@audioworld8500]

The garbage though 😢

[@Guardian__Angel]

I'm so sorry for Mariah. She was and still is the greatest female pop vocalist of all time, but her voice is gone. It's cringe to hear her struggle with the majority of her old songs. 😢

[@arelisportuondo3482]

Y que cree la edad y abusos de su voz no perdonan pero esta bien. BENDICIONES

[@iamlove9114]

Her voice is just not there anymore I mean she’s had like 3 nose jobs which can make you sound different and then age and nodules plays a role in it . I love her presence !! But her voice is just not there anymore and Mariah Carey has reached her peak as it cannot go any further

[@JustMeJP]

Lmao at her hand gestures when she didn't even hit one note 😂 so sad

[@MikhaelDawid]
