Mariah sings this like an opera aria. Its just so many trills and scales. That voice. And on a shitty sound system. It's pitch perfect!

This was not even a Mariah Carey concert and all eyes (young and old) are locked on her. They said to themselves "oh this is the woman who is selling all those records, this is the woman with all these #1 chart singles." These people knew they were watching one of the biggest stars and best singers of all time. Even President Bill Clinton knew, and young Mariah in her prime did not disappoint.

[@tremaine861]

Not to burst your bubble there, but it kind of is the right thing to do, look at a person who is singing, performing or speaking on a stage.

Standing ovation. Not everybody can do that in a house of elites and people who have no relation to pop culture. It is the TALENT that rang in everyone's HEART AND SOUL.

[@hirosoma]

whatever the case.....very few pop stars would accept this type of engagement where the audio system etc are this level. To fake it, you have to have control of the system. Mariah knew at this point in time that she had very good control of her pipes and that she could shine with the mediocre karaoke set they provided her. Love that lady in the back audience who is wiping her tears.

[@zhivargomuzic]

its not the space, is a Memorial service. She just caution, make sure do nothing wrong.

she was just tired in butterfly era :)

[@vg6761]

Yes, her voice detoriated in the beginning of 98. But she rested it and recovered completely. She transitioned to butterfly era towards the end of 98 with a fuller, raspier, buttery voice and she still retained the same range. Some even prefer her tone in butterfly era more because her tone was a bit too high and girlish during daydream era.
