in the studio recording, she uses a softer tone and seems detached (at least in the main vocal). here, she used chest voice for the whole thing and belted out the bridge with all the passion she had. not only does this song mean a lot to her, here she tells us how intense the story behind it is. she won’t avoid the pain she’s articulating, she’s feeling it full force and facing it with courage. this performance is my favorite if the song and maybe of her whole career; i don’t know what exactly each and every lyric means, but i can feel how meaningful it is. thank you for sharing this.

that endurance & perseverance she has even as a young child, that's why she always jokes abt being eternally 12 as she experienced all these since childhood. As in the lyrics: ""And I learned many things Little ones shouldn't know" "And though time's rolled by Still feel like that child" "Funny how one can learn To grow numb to the madness And block it away I left the worst unsaid Let it all dissipate And I try to forget''

I've always think about her hand movements. Particulary in her early days it looks like she naturally did those to flown through the songs. Bumpin up the stamina and make It easy to push through the melodies. Like in waves. Then she heard everybody notice the fact, and she almost shut It down. She cages that body outlet the moment the world notice about It. And It transitions to her overall performance wise and confidence. Mariah...work those hands Mariah. 🙌
@mijalakis34 жыл бұрын
I take the hand movements as proof of singing live. Whenever she sings live her hands can't stop holding the compass for her. It's a Mariah movement and I love to see her do it. Her figers are also a butterfly when she riffs and I live that
