(HD) Mariah Carey - Anytime You Need A Friend Live (G5 note)

Great perfomance of Anytime you need a friend @ Hey Hey It's Saturday
This perfomance wasn't in Mexico or Argentina, it was in Australia.

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

i think Mariah has earned her right to lip-synch. she worked her *ass* off seemingly tirelessly for over a decade. actually, i wish she had lip-synched in the 90s. it may've preserved her voice.

[@gplus46]

+Blake Gildaphish Thats a really good point, and for the record she is paid exceedingly well. So deserving...?

[@ValentinoQ]

I sooo agree I mean Celine was doing it Mariah should have to and then it wouldn't matter because all shed have to do is do more acapella and unplugged specials and it would have definitely preserved her voice!

[@aa-hr2qk]

Agree,but we can't watch these video either.

[@ngoziesther7061]

Exactly ...like ion care if she lip sync...because this woman voice is from heaven ...how could she keep up with these notes ...

[@kamilaford5752]

I don’t think lip synching earlier in hr career would have better preserved her voice. Mariah started lip synching a lot during Butterfly and Rainbow, and her voice was still in relatively poor condition in those eras.

[@mariahisthe1]

omg!!! when she sings: ''Don't ever feel I .......'' @ 2:00 to 2:06.... is amazing especially how her voice comes down the scale at the very end of I am. wow! Only Mariah.

[@shannondavis7394]

And she only does that in this performance.

1993-1994 was an amazing time for mariah vocally. She retained a slightly more darker/fuller sound than daydream era

[@whitneyhouston1122]

1994 WAS NOT GOOD FOR HER. Girl was mostly sick, nasal,a lot raspy than usual. She has even said this herself.

[@faithoffaith]

Her voice is just so impressive and precious. She should have sang this at the BET awards and slay them all singers!

[@TyreeSing]

Am I the only one that loves her hoarse high notes here? shes so cute

[@jamesmurphy-walsh8966]

Tyree Sing me I love it she is fantastic

[@kylesummers7449]

She’s not hoarse in 1994 that’s her natural voice. She has a very raspy voice but the label always dubbed her voice in the studio to fill It out. So in her concert she always sounded “hoarse” but that’s her real voice.

[@brilo6958]

I don like it :/

[@maritza211]

It’s soooo good

[@GabirouTaejin-ku4ov]

@kylesummers7449 she doesn’t always sounds hoarse ,what are you saying? She has natural rasp some days her voice had no rasp when well rested .If we follow your logic do you know there wa son. Effect like autotune back then , more Mariah prime songs it’s only reverb lol. Y’all always say nonesense .Not all her prime performances are dubbed so think well before dissing stupid.

[@ValentinoQ]

She is an unbelievable vocalist!!! And to think in the video she apologized for the performance because it was cold there!!! 😂😂😂😂 a TRUE perfectionist!

[@ValentinoQ]

+Michael Whitney Mariah during the interview. But I think she does it in most interviews just so there can be an excuse for her two off beats lol

[@mariahisthe1]

regardless of what some say, in my opinion, she sounds amazing here.

[@jamesmurphy-walsh8966]

She is incredible

[@beavertown2006]

She used to perform her best in America, this was in Australia, probably the best live version of this song.

[@macabree5856]

Yeah probably the best live version of this song. I've seen dozens of her performances of this song. Seen hundreds of her live performances. She always performs her best America and seem to just lip sync and barely put any effort in her performances in other countries such as China.

[@D3v1ut]

I love this rendition sooooooooooooo much. It's so raw. I love her tone. It's incredible.

[@7MonarC]

i think i just witnessed a glimpse of heaven right there.

[@RestuSandikaKamaruddin]

She actually lowered the key for Anytime You Need A Friend live performances by a semitone. So 2:16 , 2:18 , and 2:21 are all F#5s. She actually intended to hit the same F#5 for 2:25 , but it came out flat, so that could be counted as an F5.

[@iLolz19]

Lmfbo damn did you have to read her after pointing out the facts? Lmfbo but you're right she never performed "Anytime You Need A Friend" in A minor. She wasn't in the best voice for this performance.

[@RestuSandikaKamaruddin]

Matthew Boyd I just tell things as what they are. I don't intend to imply that lowering keys or doing flat notes are unacceptable. Everybody gets flat now and then, it's OK. It is just what it is.

As a MASSIVE Mariah Carey fan, what do you mean by "underrated"? That word or terminology is so played out and misused. What do you mean by 2:10 is underrated? As if she hasn't won multiple Grammy and awards. As if she hasn't gotten extreme worldwide recognition and appreciation of her live performances. C'mon now. That's not "underrated".

Unfortuanely technology wasn't as superior as it is now but it's ranked in top tier of all live performances of hers. (Look it up). So it's not underrated.

[@GeovanneVasques]

Mariah always be the best

[@Slaychelle]

Raspy F#5 -> Perfect F#5 -> Flat/Raspy F#5 -> F5. There is no G5 here. Mariah would have had to have sang a semitone sharp to hit a G5 which would be discordant since it's not sang in the original key where she belts G5s on the studio recording. Amazing performance regardless, just tired of seeing these notes mislabelled

[@renanrpm]

This version was fixed to make it be with a better quality, but some frequencies were deleted. If you search “Anytime You Need A Friend Deleted Version” you will see she did a flat G5. This “deleted version” is the original one without the fixing.

[@Eddy6159]

@Tyisme10 In many ways it exceeds 1993. Many people don't like to talk about Mariah Carey's sickness and inability to hit many notes in her Music Box Tour. Her concerts that year though, were impeccable. 1994, she developed her Daydream Tone working on her Christmas album and was able to pump out amazing performances such as "Joy to the world", and plenty others.

Whitney was great singer, i will say that. She was a gospel influenced singer, who had always the same sound, while Mariah can sound soft, light, silky, smokey, use her whisper tone,belting with intentional vocal breaks with more emotion and go in that high registers. Whitney comes close, but she never had just half difficult songs. There hundred of singers, especially asian singers like Charice, who sound the same. Mariah is the Queen, thats the way it is.

[@zanoases]

I mean anyone has his opinion, but Mariah vocals especially the Christmas, Musicbox and Daydream Era are just flawless, Whitney was the great middle belter, but everything everything E5 was growling, while Mariah upper belts were crystal clear! but she could in this time everything with her voice and that is why, she is most influential female vocalist in the last decade nobody had such a impact. Whitney was also great, but like i said her songs arent that difficult to sing as Mariahs!

[@marianospears3626]

[@jmoneyvocals1650]

even though she had a hoarse throat ib this one I felt this performance more than any of her other AYNAF performances not to say that they weren't great because they were but this one was special

[@goldfish3858]

Interesting that they started with a lower key but once the climax of the song occurred, they seamlessly adapted to the original key at the end. The resonance in her belts is so impeccable, best resonance I’ve ever heard in a live from Mariah

[@parksantiago3511]

But they didn't adapt to the studio version. It's a semitone lower throughout the whole song. She sings all her G5's from studio as F#'s here.

[@uditsahu4537]

That studio one just so damn hard I get chills whenever I hear it

[@everythingisaprocess]

Okay, maybe it's just me. But all this talk about G5's and G4's and all this technical shit gets on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I understand that for people who study voice, vocal coaches or people who aspire to sing professionally -these terms have meaning. BUT there are people who sing for God or sing from the heart who have no idea what a G5 is but can naturally sing better than some people who have been trained. Mariah sounds great in this performance. She can obviously sing. I don't care if she is hitting a G5 or a Z104 - I don't care!!! She sounds good, period.

[@everythingisaprocess]

Thanks! I knew I was not the only one thinking that, lol

+PJ Greaves calm down its a F# but it wasn't strained diablo. Pitches are lowered in live performances to preserve their voices, not because they can't sing them anymore.

In the studio they just stop and redo the note or whatever, take breaths in between, etc.
