Mariah Carey - Someday (MTV Unplugged) | REACTION

[@lolrachie1]

She was essentially pressured into doing mtv unplugged. Critics thought she was purely a studio artist and did not believe she could perform her difficult songs live...especially the whistles. She was apprehensive to do this bc she was very shy and had terrible stage fright. She did so well😍

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

FOR SURE! This show shut everyone the F up and I wish and hope her parents were in the front fkn row😩😩😩

[@123reletive123]

The whole unplugged album was AMAZING

The critics said that her voice is a studio creation because she didn’t go on tour for the first 2 years of her career. So she did this episode and proved them all wrong

[@MrBates1]

Fun Fact: Producer David Cole, who produced helped produce a few tracks on her Emotions album, is the one responsible for getting her to growl like that during that era. When they were recording Make It Happen, Mariah got to a point where she was tired bc David kept having her do multiple takes of the song, and it was when she stopped trying to make it so pretty that she brought out the growl. And that's the take they used. Also, he's the inspiration for Mariah's contribution of One Sweet Day. David passed away from complications of AIDS, and Boys II Men's manager also died around the same time(separate cause), and that brought the two together for the Iconic collaboration. 🙏🏼

[@patzfab]

To add to your story, I believe Mariah said they were working on the song so late in the night that David Cole actually fell asleep on the mixing board. When she finally belted out the now famous raspy growl, David woke up and said, "THAT'S IT!! WE'VE GOT IT!"

[@MrBates1]

@@JackReacts904 ....this was such a win for her and MTV....they played the hell out of this on MTV....she made all the papers and news magazines...and she was scared to death doing this ....however in this number she seemed so relaxed and confident....smooth....with such attitude and sass.....i remember when this 1 st aired and i was so happy when she stated getting the crowd hyped....she was living in the moment...and it was so beautiful....this nubile young girl....just killing it.....

[@GSDasukirashi777]

This is the VERY first MTV unplugged ever made and released on CDs, and her astronomical sales started the trend of other artists doing their own MTV Unplugged. Just like how MC was the first guest for Carpool Karaoke and see how popular that series got. Always imitated, never duplicated!

[@sersastark]

Curly haired Mariah is an ERA all by itself.

[@tylerhackner9731]

The MTV Unplugged session proved the critics wrong, and that she wasn’t just some meticulously crafted studio creation. She could more than sing live!

[@benjaminfigueroa4947]

No dude!!!!! You don’t know!!! “I’ll Be There” was the breakout performance from this concert!!!! It’s a must watch!!!! The live track even hit #1 on billboard. The only #1 hit of her 19 that she did not wrote

[@tlobrown5381]

Mariah has the best background singers. In order to sing for Mariah you had to be the cream of the crop. React to Mariah - Emotions MTV Unplugged.

[@flyleelee5351]

Kelly Price was one of them....

[@thisisash6599]

She is "The Songbird Supreme" for a reason! :)

[@AdrianSLorio]

React to I'll Be There by Mariah Carey. And also react to the original version of that song by the Jackson 5

[@katylamb2714]

he haven't reacted to that been suggesting this for a while now 😊

[@tylerhackner9731]

Both amazing

[@mmoran3]

The background singers are Kelly and Shanice Price! Kelly Price is a wonderful solo artist on her own and sang on Whitney Houston's Heartbreak Hotel! Check that one out next lol!

One of those girls background is Kelly Price. Just fyi!

[@luisalmeida53]

@@JackReacts904 YAS. She was a background singer for Mariah for a long time. You reacted to Through The Rain a few days ago. There's a remix version with Kelly Price and Joe. You don't need to react to but you must definitely check this out! Stay safe! Love and peace from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[@Miguelperry411]

And the women next to Kelly is her sister.

[@luisalmeida53]

Oh, I forgot to mention. Mariah kinda hates this song. It's from her debut album, her 3rd #1, but somehow she dislikes it so bad, and doesn't hide at all. Lol. Nobody knows why though

[@luisalmeida53]

@@Miguelperry411 sorry! It's Shanrae!

[@alvyandana]

@@luisalmeida53 if I'm not mistaken, it's because the final version that put on the album was much different from what she wanted to be. the jack-swing tempo was something common back then, and she didn't want to be a mainstream artist

[@jacco1982line]

"And she grab the ear too" 😂 😂 😂

[@BubbasBathWater]

Mariah’s I’ll Be There performance from that same night is out of this world

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

The background singer on the left is Kelly Price. She later dropped her own albums and had a few hits.

[@jasoncedrick]

“Someday” her thanksgiving concert. That’s more fun to watch. Try it

[@Trendypants1814]

I'm so glad you had fun with this one. This was Mariah's "I TOLD y'all I can SANG" special where every song during Unplugged she sang was live. She silenced all critics with this. Wait til you do "I'll Be There" from Unplugged as well.

[@MrBates1]

Yasss!! We got to the Iconic MTV Unplugged Mariah! Don't forget about "I'll Be There" from this concert - a MJ (Jackson 5) cover

[@deokidokiza]

"Someday" and "If It's Over" are my favorite songs for the whole Unplugged album.

[@DRB112792]

The backgrounds are so full, love them

[@Sil_P]

MTV Unplugged was the sh*t back in the day! Nothing but real talent was showcased on that program because it was always "live."

[@lightsaver890]

That performance is so flawless, Jack you also needs to react to the official video of Mariah Carey - Someday. It’s such a fun and great video

[@lightsaver890]

Jack Reacts sure do it as soon as possible. Loved how you were shocked with her whistle notes at the end hehehe

[@iammeriah9594]

The fact she had to do this show to prove that she could really sing blows my mind ✊👏

[@Heroliesinyou]

It happens when you're THAT talented.❤️❤️

[@zanesutherland406]

You need to do You’re So Cold from her second album. It melodically similar to Someday, the cousin song I guess 😄

[@bellareid3488]

Unbelievably she cites this as her first real concert! Imagine MTV unplugged being your first gig! Amazing. Side note: Each track was recorded a number of times and the best was used for the TV broadcast.

[@markarnold811]

The first Mariah song I fell in love with and it is my favorite!

[@alishagrossman4080]

I was in high school when she was starting out. Everyone wanted their hair like hers. Unplugged was always amazing because we didn’t usually get to see live performances. Her Unplugged was incredible!

[@MsNirual]

This was a proving point for Mariah. She had to really show people she could genuinely sing. Check her version of "I'll Be There" from this same project. Another MTV Unplugged you've got to check is Babyface's. He killed it!

[@Damian-qv6wh]

I love how you said you don’t have any words, then she hit that whistle and was lost for words ahah

those backup singer are not ordinary backup singers. they are shanrae price and kelly price, the legends in gospel music.
