[@anjelocarey]

[@animoromeo2750]

[@rattakansrihaklung7452]

Her B4s belted notes are very GREAT!!

[@nurfitri9953]

[@al-xt1er]

LOL another fan of Nicki minaj

[@mimilamb4lifemariahthequee679]

Yes,you're right... He don't want to admit our queen Mimi is great also live. That angelic whistle notes took me into heaven!

[@ilovelove4833]

It would always sound good when it's not a live note

[@arslanferatovic135]

This is 100% live..sometimes she doesn't sing live, but here is clear, that its not lipped..when she lipps, you hear the difference in the loudness...and she sang those whistles a little bit different from the studio version... :))

[@perezjosh123]

the high whistle note at 1:34 everyone went crazy and she smiled , go mimi

[@kmaur21]

Yup lol, she hit that whistle like she still in her 20's LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think she could sound this good. Nice job

[@truedatdatdatdat]

*HOLY MOTHER FUCK. i never realized how amazing she did this performance! that fucking INTRO though! hands down one of the most powerful & SOULFUL intros shes done for emotions! i absolutely LOVED the grittiness of her voice as she played with the run waving it in & out at **0:35** !!!!!!!!! she had the audience going crazy when she does shit like that. its completely her in her essence! LOVE it*

[@truedatdatdatdat]

*am i the only one who rewound the intro like 400505050 times? **0:35** is fucking so amazingly soulful omg*

[@perezjosh123]

the whole intro slays, "hiiiggghheeerrr" yaaasss! she sounds so good yes!

[@JeremyJKing]

that hair flip at 2:50 is golden! love it! Give me drama!

[@ilyaihylmt88sy]

Her voice is in such good condition this performance, its like the best post-prime "emotions".

[@asekun022]

yass. slay them!!!

[@mesmerized4life405]

I feel bad for other ppls favs half her age lmao

[@damianjohn5167]

Norielle Serrano she slaaayed it and they were left gagging!

[@ajreyes1262]

I hope Essence will upload these videos particularly Mariah's Videos she looks and sounds amazing

[@daniellestar4375]

Still killing it!!! Her whistle note is flawless !!!!!!

[@リーヨ-x3k]

certainly the best intro

[@animoromeo2750]

Emotions by Mimi in during SSFT South Africa has a better intro

[@krist.t21]

@@animoromeo2750 he prefer this tho, and this is great tho

[@fervidamidthedandelions3405]

0:36 my new favorite B4 this year

[@EricJay98]

Her whistles sound so good. At one point in 2010 to 2015 her whistles sounded more forced rather than flawless and easy like they did in the early 1990s. Now they sound healthy and powerful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anornpath1587]

EricJJohnson the lambily need to really know that the whistles are always lipped in emotion

[@connorcoleman0379]

Epicminecraft Gamer101 true

[@federicoraggio252]

EricJJohnson They were lipped but she sounded incredible no matter what. THAT INTRO!!😍😍

[@Andy-tj3cx]

@@anornpath1587 the lambily knows BUT WE DON'T POINT THAT OUT

[@archerstv-kb3dl]

​@@Andy-tj3cxSo we just pretend it's live?

[@williamludenaignacio]

That intro always slays me, it's so Soul.

[@Marvinglz]

Sorry to say lambs but you were WRONG! Many of you were saying "Mariah just needs to rest her voice"! It turns out what she needed was to use it more! Ever since her residency having her sing 3 nights a week, has not only strengthen her voice but brought it back to form.

[@makkides1424]

she just need her confidence back that's all :))

[@Marvinglz]

Barackisha Obamaniqua That too! But vocal chords are like muscles. The more you practice/train/use them the stronger they get

[@mesmerized4life405]

+Marvinglz Exactly.. which is why her Voice is more flexible than it has been in transitioning through notes..Look at the ssf tour, her vocals were insane

[@lynocampo8920]

Admit that even she is too old now and can't sing very well, she can sing better than the other singer on this time. No one can sing like her now like her tone. She is the best for me....

[@johnfarrell6688]

Marvinglz we all know she lipsyncs 99% of the time as for her high notes we now know there pre recorded,,,,,,,,, with this new year live TV disaster

[@michaeljenardligan6173]

I have a great RESPECT for this LEGEND Mariah Carey! She's endured her talent throughout these years with her untouchable voice.

[@mariahqueen8269]

[@davidjelley5110]

Pure Slayage! Her transitions have improved so much. Love the falsetto "thank you thank you thank you" towards the end. Was like daydream!

[@curlyjawsh5309]

I'm in love with that tiny whistle at 0:26 😍😍😍

[@spongebob03]

Great sound system. And I loved the audible reaction from the audience after her first high note. What makes it even more awesome is that there wasn't any applause after the high note. But u can hear the reaction to the note.

[@alexchen8565]

That little riff from :18-:21, God she sounds just like the R&B women from the 80's! This woman better sang that intro, I love Mariah and I'll never write her off. Come through Mariah!

[@ambrosialsongbird9313]

I'd say this was the best emotions intro this year along with Cape Town! I think I prefer this to Cape Town because that run at 0:40. SCALPED! Slay, queen!! Why don't her awesome performances go viral? She's been sounding amazing all year.

[@bernardcrandle6084]

So proud to say I was there and it was completely live. Thank God for Essence fest!

No one stays the same. Just saying. I'm just great full that she still gives us great performances.

[@billyhandika6469]

+PapitoX Her nods are the cause! Are u lambily?

[@MDB2770]

+Billy Handika I wouldn't completely blame her nodes. Do you know anyone that has kept the exact same tone, strength for 20 years. TBH I still think she's just as good but in a different way, her strength may not be the same, but her ability to improvise with her new voice is unmatched.

[@billyhandika6469]

+PapitoX How about Celine,Patti,Aretha? They're still sound the same throughout the years! Mc was on her prime only during 90-96. Nonetheless Mc still my fav among em!

[@rioadik18]

+Billy Handika no darling. even celine does not sound the same anymore. but anyway if it's not for her nodules she might not have discovered her talent of whistle register. Now she may not sound the same but i think she just needs proper vocal rest like she used to have when she first started her career.. and then we can have Charmbracelet era part II :)

[@TrisTan-wo7tf]

"Omayghad this is 100% live" The comment I'm waiting from delusional lambs

[@rosemont2283]

Everything except the whistles are live.

[@dj1000cr]

Her voice isn't the best, the song was dropped down 1 1/2 key (vs original) and she has so many problems to sing it "normally". But, she has great songs to enjoy.

[@Suijiro99]

Cristian Reyes - Dj Millhouse I mean that's normal if you had nodules althrough your life.

[@heymikkao]

This was better than the one Drake chose for his sample tbh

[@ivo10070]

At least she didn't do playback with the whistle notes u know..

[@IsmaCarvantes]

Lol because of the shot the guy at 0:40 looks massive haha.

[@theclaudioneves]

pity we now know all those whistle notes are pre-recorded :(

[@lanadelrey3821]

theclaudioneves yeah but she can still sing. People act like she can't even open her mouth. Her lipping is very minimal compared to most artists.

[@strwbrybabyg245]

I don't think the second one was, her voice cracked a little toward the end of it.

[@noreexic]

Actually it was pre recoded just for that night cause it was cold outside and she was on vocal rest.
