Mariah is the greatest singer live as well. Especially in her prime.

In her prime nobody was better

@@ThatSingerReactions Why didn't you react to some songs of MSG 93? Especially VANISHING and ALL IN YOUR MIND 😭😭😭

[@HOLLYWOOD-dd4nd]

PLEASEEEE

[@Fan-vv8wb]

Her agility in 2013 was unmatched

[@Fan-vv8wb]

This was 100% live. She did 3 takes and added it all together.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Everything before that last performance was 100% live I found the actual song and it was literally note by note the track. And Mariah carey is the type of singer when she is singing it live she will never do it exactly like the track she had Riffs. And growls and all of that. As a lamb you should know that lol

[@LuisMiguelchart]

@@ThatSingerReactions you are right! The song Beautiful was pre recorded with her singing on top of the studio version in parts and the whistles. You did get everything correctly.

[@AchillesandArtemis]

@@ThatSingerReactions check other performances of the song like on Macy’s thanksgiving thing. She actually slayed the song there and she performed it with Miguel like in the studio version.

[@Fan-vv8wb]

The greatest vocalist of all time. Outsinging the entire music industry at 43.

[@LuisMiguelchart]

This performance is truly iconic! Thank you so much ❤️

[@xXxmissemmaxXx]

You really got this critique right. Mariah’s weakness is her perfectionism and fear of letting people down.

[@jolennon8629]

She also sang a snippet of "Underneath The Stars" while taping this performance and damn... the TONE, dahling, the toooone check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2Wko5-qiNZojJY

[@aaronmitchell2873]

I love her big hits, but I also love some of those deep cuts like Slipping Away, Yours, You Got Me, Babydoll, Now That I Know. Her catalogue BANGS!!!!

[@AchillesandArtemis]

That’s a great insight that you had about the last song. She was debuting her song #Beautiful and after this performance she started actually singing the song.

[@lmnop9106]

I love it when you said that she does not need to keep up or do as she did years back, but do styles that will suit her now with her age and help support her vocal's health. YAS!

[@Divahdivah25]

Love your honesty. We lambs totally understand along with Mariah as well. Loved the reaction.

[@causeyje5791]

Mariah the greatest studio artist because she wrote her and produced songs around her vocals which was great obviously but she didn’t understand till recently that them songs not for the vocal condition she was in after her prime. She’s an all time great live singer as well but was very inconsistent at times vs a Whitney who got songs and had 3 4 version of the same ones, singing how she felt it that day…BOTH GREAT SINGERS THOUGH

[@sanchezmcfollins]

Mariah had 3 to 4 different versions of the same song too!

[@jared3970]

You’re right, that was the first time she performed #Beautiful at the end

[@Scott-yy]

Queue the haters in the comments in 3...2...1 I lovee this performance. THIS as a 13-year-old back then INTRODUCED me to Mariah!!! Fun fact: This performance had 3 takes!! And some of the other takes have amazing vocals too!!! See now I do not mind the lipsyncing or anything because the minute she shifts vocals to sound suit her voice "she cant sing anymore" The amount of mental pressure that puts on an individual that has a GREAT legacy to uphold is immense. I do not blame her for lipsyncing and on top of that mental pressure make her nodules act up the "TRiLL me" in #Beautiful was lipsynced with an illusion. When there are multiple layers.. she sings one of them so its technically still sung with a backtrack cuz she cant hit all 7 notes being hit in the layers. The whistles were the only part lip-synced to in #Beautiful but I think it was done once live. They just chose the best of each of the 3 performances.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Nah if anybody comes in here hating I'm blocking it and deleting the comments

This was around the time I became a lamb 😌💅 Me I am Mariah, the elusive chanteuse era.

[@krissy9128]

Mariah is a great live singer overall (considering the instrument she has been working with her whole life) and people just don't want to credit her for it. I was like you at one point...mad af at Mariah because we know she can sing but she kept lip syncing certain parts of various songs in an effort to keep up with 90s Mariah. And that messed up her reputation for lives. When in fact, all she had to do was use her musical wit/intelligence to rearrange the songs to fit her vocal conditions. I'm glad she kind of understands that now and she's doing much better.

[@DanielleA2023]

Greatest Voice ever

[@axelito6342]

7:03 NICK YOU BETTER KNOW ABOUT MY SAVING GRACE !!!!!!! For me that’s her most vocal suicide song especially the climax. Phrased g#5s and F#5s 🤧❤️❤️! You better know about her catalogue, she really is the best vocalist ever, especially in the studio , her tracks are just impossible to cover

[@ThatSingerReactions]

I know it all lol

[@ismaelm.mbaangue9147]

OMG i love this performance she was in really great condition in 2013 as she said and every single performance was on point, she decided to pre-recored the song "Beautifull" because it was new and they wanted to promote it exactly like on the track. Please react to "Vision of love live in tour costa mesa 2003" is one of the best performances of this song ever!! Mariah still on the game after 31 years of career giving everything as a singer, songwriter and producer, we can't ask more from her at this point, as you said she was trying to Keep doing what the younger Mariah did, which is literally impossible at that age to have the same quality with nodules, thanks for react to this!👍

[@wbillswbills9276]

Yasss❤❤❤ Mariah

[@xejelah]

yes, Beautiful was her debut from her new album Me I Am Mariah - she's always had her debuts sound exactly as she made them in the studio because that's how she wanted it heard. I knew the whistle part was mimed since it was exactly the track version, but I can hear her chime in throughout it here and there. sometimes 2 mc's. Beautiful was a top 20 hit, sold 1.1M in usa, and hit #1 on itunes in 27 countries, boy band BTS covered her song in 2015.

[@maryamtara2934]

I actually agree with you Mariah gets on my nerves because her voice is still solid and amazing plus she’s soooo freaking creative! I think she should tweaking her songs to fit her vocals now which is not difficult for her, however!!! HOWEVER she’s dealing with so much hate because “sHe cAn’T sInG aNyMoRe” and her voice changed Basically people aren’t forgiving when it comes to Mariah and I completely understand why she does that

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Whoever thinks she can't sing don't have a musical ear. The thing was mariah tried to be old mariah and old mariah couldn't be touched by a single vocalist in her prime. I listened to her debut album and her emotions album and the vocals just can't be reached. So it was best for her to use her vocal arranging mind like she did during all the songs she did during this performance to make em work.

Is not like Mariah has to prove her vocal talent Acording to the Billboard chart of the greatest artists of all time she is ranked 4th and the #1 greatest female artist of all time. Mariah Carey has the vocal quality, range, tone and resonance. However her most impressive gift besides range is that her mellisma is present in her entire range, some of her most intricate runs are in head voice where she flips from a round more connected sound into an airy tone and then back to head in uninterrupted arpeggios so her seamless connected range makes her shine. I'd recommend for you to watch the surprise performance in Jimmy Fallon late Show. She does arperggios flowing through her entire range as if it was a tiny belt. I bet you will be surprised. She has been ridiculed by American media that she is frightened to mess up. She doesn't move much on the stage anymore, she looks scared, but in other countries she doesn't, she opens up herself to the public, looks comfy on stage specially in Asia. Fun fact: Mariah Carey is the first occidental artist, none Asian to perform in China. Her entire body of work is recognized as one of the most intricate and complex repertoires in the last 50 years . She is according to Billboard the most enduring female artist nowadays. She is the best changing songs to make a different appeal, remember she writes the lyrics and produces the song so she knows how to do that perfectly without messing the essence of the song just like she did this past February with one of her most well known hit "We belong together" she sort of reimagined her entire vocal performance of one of her hardest songs to perform live and made it even more difficult.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Haha I know all this brother I got all her albums on CD that's how long I been a fan lol I bought her emancipation of mini exactly when it came out in April I still remember lol

[@badatchoosingnames3556]

You're so real for that lip syncing problem Mariah had. Expectations for Mariah to be 90s Mariah is insane, from the public, from her fans, and ESPECIALLY from herself, so she feels the need to lip to show those notes still come easy to her. I like the spot she's in rn, where she kinda acknowledged her voice has changed and the way she sung in her 20s won't make sense for her voice NOW, so she's switching it up. Prerecorded tracks are something I can respect. It's normal for singers to protect their voice, and her voice is very fragile. But lipping to original track is hard to defend, cause we know she dont sound like that. Also doesn't help Mariah is a born and made to be a singer so she's cursed to be forever sucking at lip sync (no Mariah, turning your heads and putting the mic 5 miles away from you is NOT a good sync)😭

[@brett8706]

This wasn't 100% live. In Hero, you can clearly hear the prerecorded parts in the undubbed version.
