Mariah Carey - 09. Can't Let Go & Love Takes Time (LIVE in Sydney 03-01-2013) COMPLETE PERFORMANCE

[@jazstock421]

The laugh she does at 2:56 is everything because she just reminded everyone that she is Mariah Carey.

[@valedavila5336]

yes that made me almost cry, love her

[@VdiMusicGaming]

2:47*

[@TheMickj23q]

I will never forget this, was in the second row and was so freakishly amazed by her projection. Listening to her without music IS MUSIC. At points she had the mic three feet away from her mouth, yet her vocals soared through the arena and down your spine. To deliver this over two decades into a career is astounding. God bless her~!

[@andreyonthe1]

+Michael Jlailaty OMG .... I can feel it lol

[@andrewmurray1478]

Omg I've never been so jealous! 💖

[@paulabihayla7802]

Mick, i see you up there ! 7 years later !

[@kirsten2478]

i was in second row too!!! it was like a dream, still is 🥰

[@ainnatraballo9106]

My fave part 2:47 - 2:56 she suddenly jumped to the original key which amazed me soo much!!! Love you Mimi!!!

[@Entertainer145]

Marie Traballo She Sounded Greeeaaaat

[@Zackangels1]

2:47 it's an EB5 daaaahlings. The same key as the original in her debut album.

[@itstheadhdforme1449]

Victor Hugo EXACTLY

[@deadwalke9588]

This is not the original key... This is 2 semitones lower than the actual recording on the CD.

[@Solo-vh9fm]

She sang the climax in original key, she changed it after she started singing it 2 semitones lower.

[@deadwalke9588]

No, this is not the original key at all the original climax is set in F minor and the original key is F major which would just mean the climax is taking the minor Three (III) chord and making it stand out for the climax. Even sheet music states this. This is much lower than a F.

[@Solo-vh9fm]

deadwalke The sheet music website isn't always accurate. Plus if you layer the climax over the original song you will hear they are the same pitch.

[@originaldeftom]

WOW! That's what I call a responsive audience!

[@infinitylambofmariah7987]

I totally agree they are blessed because they saw Mariah confident and back again

[@joanflores8957]

😄

[@eastcoastthriller]

I think she is SO humble. She has no idea how famous she is. She always assumes people dont remember or know her earlier songs but this video shows how legendary and multi-generational she really is. Mariah is truly the most influential artist in the last 25-30 years and her music will always be a foundation for artists in the future.

[@federicoraggio8111]

She very simply rewrote music history.

[@MrEricrockinout]

Mariah loves her music, I bet she sleeps well at night knowing she as created one of the greatest discographies of all time!

[@roshlambily9709]

Healthy vocals+Amazingly responsive audience= Legendary performance!!!!

[@calvin9999999999]

Whatever she did for her voice here, she needs to do again. She hadn't sounded this good live for several years.

[@polobaluyut6816]

She did pull off Love Takes Time 3 days ago :)

[@Einstein-eq7tc]

I honestly think its a question of rest, hydration, confidence and lack of stress. Her sweet sweet fantasy tour has been amazing!!!

[@odgu7314]

We are lucky that we being fan of her and Mariah is lucky that she has lot of diehard fans

[@malayacristal]

Her 2013 is so much better tho'

[@joyfullordchild5911]

Einstein2002 I agree!!! She loves what she does... Plus God bless her with this gift

[@rofflekopter]

No doubt her voice is still there. It's just a case of consistency

[@troyando]

She’s been consistent for over 30 years lol

[@chimchim1516]

Her falsetto during post-prime is better than prime, and that part in 2:47 really shook me. My heart started feeling fuzzy and warm, knowing Mariah will always be Mariah.

[@lemusiciensolitaire8792]

I have been thinking the same!@! So buttery.. so smooth...

[@melissar.2594]

Not her falsetto...she was in full chest voice.

[@jaygarret2377]

Whats amazing is you have two twenty plus year old songs, sung and written by an American artist and they are sung word for word by thousands of Australians. She is the definition of a legendary global superstar. I believe this type of talent is dying off. She is one of the few still relevant ones left. Elivis, Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Madonna, Rolling Stones, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Mariah. I don't see anyone on the horizon to take their place. It's a shame

[@luigigabrielofficial]

Celine Dion.

[@originaldeftom]

+Luis Gabriel Celine Dion is not a songwriter (neither was Whitney btw). I guess what Steve Garris pointed towards is the fact that "SINGER/ SONGWRITERS" with exceptional global reach and popularity are dying out. The new ones are Adele, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and maybe a Kelly Clarkson, but how can they really compare to these previous superstars?!?

[@originaldeftom]

+Steve Garris You forgot Stevie Nicks (FLEETWOOD MAC) and CHER to a degree? However, I am on this one with you 100%

[@calvin9999999999]

+Thomas Farmer They don't.

[@RhiannaBarr]

+Thomas Farmer Adele too. Mama Cass (who says good singers need be thin)

[@beauariangs9706]

Everyone gets old..but she will always be the shining star forever.

[@petepete9300]

I swear, 2:47-2:50 sounds like 1993 era !!!!!! Amazing !!!!!!! whyyyyy

[@petepete9300]

Especially "can't" escape the pain.

[@haroldjohnson6326]

Abducens CN VI she jumped to the original key

[@wig5711]

She sounded better!!! Her voice more full and mature

[@mariahcareyera2364]

The run at *looove* actually the same as the studio tho

[@bnicolette14]

@@wig5711 true! I think she goes more nasal and girlie now to be able to sustain with the nodules. I miss her mature tone. All the lambs seem to LOVE the current girlie tone but I'm not a fan. I even think caution tone was better than this current one in 2021.

[@The_torero]

"Sing for me please" you gotta love this Diva.lol

[@RafaMedinadaydream]

That was so beautiful!

[@lambforever2455]

Rafa Medina ikr, she sounds better than 97-99 Mariah in "Love Takes Time".

[@CyprusHot]

Her voice is so smooth and dreamy at the beginning Wow

[@demiwo4443]

The wonders of falsetto

[@DanielCrotty]

2:47 is pure old skool Mariah.. Love coming back to watch this!! amazing!!

[@peachwalls]

One of the happiest moments of my life was when I was in this concert and she did this medley.

[@mMierful]

peachwalls how lucky u were

[@macvilyong]

Happy for you.. so lucky to be part of it🥰❤️

[@watchout81]

The best vocalist indeed!

[@johnjones574]

Nobody...NOBODY...can ever or will ever touch her. The power behind her voice when she sang "feeling down and cold" and how far the mic was away from her mouth during "down"...ugh I just dont think we will ever see this kind of talent ever again

[@Andrea-cp8ng]

At 1:35 she's trying her whistle. Such an amazing performance! Just love the a cappella part!

[@Sttephy30]

Wow! She sounded just like her 90's voice during the 2:47 - 2:55 mark. Exactly like her early 90's voice. That shocked me

[@USDACertified]

Mariah’s voice is not damaged. She doesn’t practice to keep her voice in shape!

[@Bossilicious76]

I was there for this. It was spectacular.

[@spongebob03]

Whoever was on the piano, he obviously saw a good concert moment coming by not joining Mariah when she said go ahead at the beginning of Love Takes Time. Smart move!

[@chrizmooo7255]

spongebob03 I think he gave her the key, but maybe it only went into her ear monitor

[@bobbykern6035]

People need to see videos like this and show respect Mariah sounds amazing and just as good as she did in her prime this year. Her voice is jaw dropping here love that all she has to do is sing to entertain people and it's more then enough.

[@epictemptation7350]

1:32 oh lord that was enchanting.

[@VictorHugo-bw1yl]

the reaction of the boy who was filming at 0:09 it's unbelievable. It was like: I can't believe she is singing this perfectly

[@fanyoho77]

2.47-2.57 heart attack!she killed it!

[@danieltedcastle]

Truly a magical moment that I will never forget. Was so glad I was there that night. Simply amazing.

[@Alebabe]

Im in odd!!! :O that was indeed a MAGICAL MOMENT!!! right there!! dude!! the crowd singing alone just lift every single little hair on my body!!! chiiiiilllssss!!! n her voice?? its like it went to being 90s again!!! uuughhh love her!

[@mariahcarey3670]

I love watching her singing her old songs. her line of music genre is really in ballads. you can feel every emotion she has in a song whenever she sings this kinds of song. #beautiful

[@timchen54]

Wow THOSE HIGH NOTES ARE AMAZING!

[@deonoxivar]

2013 tone and agility was severely underrated!

[@Em82Rose]

I was there to witness this! I almost DIED during this part of the concert... Absolutely out of this world, breathtaking and unforgettable!! Truly a dream come true!!!

[@mjcayanan2878]

I always love that last part of "Love takes time". Her voice is so amazing when it comes to harmonies. Love you MiMi! 😍

[@ruthnnegron8582]

Marian sings beautiful, one of my favorites

[@MrDLOC11]

a treasure from early 2013 The first TRUE GIFT of many highlights last year MUSICALLY given with love from MC....

[@sushilme2222]

I wish she'd do a full version of Love Takes Time in the same key and arrangement as in this video. Love it. Goosebumps.

[@karstenschmitz7270]

This woman is a living legend. There have been a lot of great voices in the music industry, but nobody compares to her. All she needs is a piano line and a spotlight...she is blessed with unique talent and put a lot of work in realizing her dream. God bless her...if you follow an artists career for like 28 years, the way I have done that, they are something like a close friend to you.

[@marina4407]

2:47 I shed a tear

[@asianguilttrip]

Love when she sings a capella or just with piano. You get back to hearing her true voice. Beautifully done even though she switched keys in the end to pull off belt

[@filotz]

Mariah the great.... last time she sang love takes time was 1993 during music box, and can't let go perhaps 1992 during her emotions..... LOVE TO HEAR it again..... the legend, the diva FOREVER...

[@honestperson3042]

Her voice will always be unique, so much colors and nuances. The Greatest Vocalist of All Time

[@soaribb32]

We want more consistency, the voice is there. Never went away.

[@90Outside]

Life doesn’t work like that unfortunately.

[@qwerty13_incognito]

It will be very difficult for her not because she's lazy but she's the type of artist who needs a lot of rest for one show due to her nodules. Which is very difficult to do, most of her dates are in straight period leaving her 1 or 1 1/2 rest day.

[@FermiBubbleGummyBear]

Favorite parts Head voice + piano 1:44 And 2:45 never ceases to blow me away.

[@sailorfan86]

Those moments will always be much better than the actual Concerts. I live for this.

[@taeydream]

i feel like at 1:33 she was doing a whistle note but put the mic away bc she wanted to hear how it would sound first, and maybe she didn't like it so just kept the mic away

[@terrakittycat486]

daydream Then she wouldn't have kept holding it. Her high notes can be piercing so she holds the mic away, but this one is airy - too airy to be picked up by the mic. I don't think she knew since she could hear it in her earpiece.

[@taeydream]

Terra KittyCat oh really? i thought we couldn't hear because it was too far from the mic. i mean, i can hear a really faint noise that kind of resembles a whistle note, but i feel like that's just from the crowd

[@didierrobert13004]

+daydream i feel like it was yeah too airy, like in the "i wish you well" song towards the end. but her voice was angelic that night

[@navyforeveryoungjean-phili5940]

You got it lol

[@irocemrockett1118]

Exactly right lol. Mariah always tests her whistle out first before bringing it directly to the mic unless she's absolutely sure it's there (usually when she has had proper sleep). She said this in an interview a while back

[@devinmccormick7614]

That 30 secs should be put in a museum.

[@aidanholm]

I hope she does a longer version of Love Takes Time but still similar to this version on her next tour!

[@polobaluyut6816]

You should watch her new one. She nailed it 3 days ago but a semitone lower unlike this one which was in original key.

[@mrdarnellabc]

When Mariah takes her time and gives herself room to actually sing, she puts on really great performances

[@saruhhstatic]

love her! she made history. such a big fan:)

[@pppp-bw6zx]

She did whistle at the end but the mic was too far way.

[@joeyfenty]

She was testing her whistle register :)

[@Mandy-cn8sq]

Joey Fenty she was testing it and maybe it wasn’t good so she didn’t use it on the mic

[@joeyfenty]

@@Mandy-cn8sq Well, that's what I said, I'm a lamb, I know lol

[@Sim882]

can't let go is prob her best songer ever (See soul train or SNL version). It has such feeling

[@mscarrie5728]

Agree

[@amillio4667]

I can't escape the pain so deep inside I love that part

[@CalvinTheDunce]

"SOOOO" at 2:49-2:50

[@santanagonzalez5944]

She sounds like an absolute Angel right here!!❤️🙏🏼

[@liltes16945]

this gave me chills on the night and still does ! just AMAZING !

[@LegionIvory]

I think the reason she doesn't sing this song much anymore is because it requires a great deal of fluctuation and projection, and her voice isn't as strong as it used to be. I'd still pay good money to see her sing this song live.

[@frinthazaryakuriakosngopo6004]

And now, she sing this song again ☺️🤗

[@moniquedaughtry]

five years later she still singing these songs live.

[@mcis4ever]

Im so excited to hear those song in LIVE!!! Can't wait to see you in October 2018 for the #1's tour 🙌🙌👑👑👑💖💖 much love dahhling

[@chenab427]

mariah will always be the voice !

[@robhambre]

Oh my still original key love takes time 2013!??? 😱😱😱 Amazing 👏👏👏

[@Em82Rose]

Seeing her a few weeks ago was a dream come true. I've loved her since I was 10 years old. It blew me away when she performed these songs.. I just couldn't believe it.. Especially when she performed a bit of Love takes time.. that's such a rare thing these days!! Truly unforgettable!!

[@Em82Rose]

I can die happy and content now after witnessing this live!!

[@TheJaihooker]

Love the end where she goes off-road and free styles!

[@ScottD_]

2:46 is just sublime

[@ScottD_]

i still can't get over this , she needs to do something like this to shut all the fucking haters up to PROVE she's still mariah fucking carey , she's the best singer alive and all she needs to do is rest her voice and not drink for a while

[@ruthlessxo99]

Scott D yes! Mariah still got it.She's just bored sometimes.Sucks because I need her to prove the haters wrong. This particular performance was enchanting. It was like watching the "Old" 90's Mariah 😍

[@bvbblgum_]

this special performance for the fans makes me cry. I Love You Mother MC ♡

[@johanrodriguezduque1811]

Mariah Care You Are The QUEEN!!!!!!

[@williamludenaignacio]

Perfect Vocals but specially, the SOUL, the emotion, I mean, the SOUL her voice has !! Not everyone has that !!

[@tandee7]

the love takes time is beautiful omg

[@MarchFerrer]

She was really a Diva among the divas... i love the way she let the audience sing and she tried to do the whistle to not ruin the momentum. 😍❤❤❤❤

[@mariahmimimc09]

Mariah has always sang with a whispery tone for example underneath the stars, do you think of me, music box to name a few she can very much still sing and this video is evidence of that ! I don't why people assume that her whispery vocals are something she's just only started doing when she's been doing it for years !

[@purplelove010]

These are my two most favorite songs from MC! Thanks for posting this! She sounds like an angel!

[@Andy-tj3cx]

When she did the head voice in Can't Let Go it reminded me of petals so much

[@Thesongbirdsupreme]

I would dedicate my life to develop inmortality just to keep her voice alive forever.

[@shiroe3178]

The Magic starts at 2:47

[@julianacuna843]

She sounds exactly like her prime, LOVE IT

[@purplelove010]

She sounds like an angel!

[@lithiumkwan848]

Mariah's voice is so special that vvhen people come to her concert, they don't sing along because they only vvant to hear her voice and her voice only.

[@mohdsyafaliizwan1278]

Amazing voice.her voice never left her.

[@mariahhouston1703]

All the time I was like 'Oh my Gosh! I can't believe ! Her voice is still here !' Love you mimi

[@angelarielrodriguez448]

Best Vocalist ever !

[@bualadyboy4959]

I love her play like this and perfect voice

[@devinmccormick7614]

This video changed my life.

[@stylestar07]

I have loved Mariah since the beginning of her career, way back when she was a back up singer, but I can say that while she still can sing the higher register, she is a unique creature in that she has lost her lower natural voice.. But can sing the higher notes perfectly.

[@Ter-el]

OMG I feel the same way! I adore her

[@Eddy6159]

stylestar07 her low notes are very much intact thank you

[@asekun022]

i really love this ! Australia is so lucky !

[@LeonardoBartho]

I was 15 when she did that show! I can't believe it was so long ago. How time goes fast!

[@anthonyjalaniz3]

Me too!!

[@damianjo910]

This was so wonderful...the legendary Mariah Carey delivering these vocals how many years after the original.

[@tonysingleton6169]

My favorite comment to read on this video talks about how these songs are 20+ years old and this non American audience knew not only every word but every note and inflection she did in the song. That’s a good songwriter writing timeless song that pierces the next generation. That is why I will ALWAYS love Mariah

[@EmzooH]

But Where are the Haters ? lol

[@lambily8924]

+EmzooH You talking about Bitchriah Seanpaul And guywill oh they are at their computers trying to claim she sucks as always with their no life asses, but we know the truth! She still got it!

[@christiand.a.6291]

Mariah carey is always the queen of music,even if there is disparity on her voice,its natural considering that she sang those songs over again.We love you mimi its just only the beginning.

[@Kongkingkeng]

fantastic Carey. for the nostalgia

[@ArancinoDiRiso]

2:47 *FAINTS* Mariah why so perfect?! ♥

[@lilith5865]

Omg I swear she is an angel sent from heaven 💖💖💖💖💖

[@TheBeaganda]

i had GOOSEBUMPS.. seriously, she still maintained her assets when it comes to singing

[@SalRN14]

I ♡ this!

[@AreYouSerious07]

I need to watch it again because I missed this "greatness" the rest of you heard. The audience did most of the work.

[@AleDJBivolt]

Wow... #amazing #bestdiva4ever Angel voice

[@Rik0490]

Oh my God..... BEAUTIFUL 😭😍
