Mariah Carey Live Hero Beacon Theater

Mariah Carey singing "Hero" live at the Beacon Theater on December 22, 2014, her last show for the 20th anniversary of "Merry Christmas."

[@SweetInterlude]

Those few nights at beacon in 2014 were magical. It's like her voice was reborn. All the trashing in the media must've really upset her and she brought every bit of her soul back on that stage.

[@butterflyera]

I know, and the news didnt even mention this concert one bit. They could’ve at least said, “her voice might have returned!” But they kept talking about her preformance at Rockfeller concert

[@austinjt4264]

@@butterflyera Don't blame the media, blame the other ones, 'em haters. Cause they love it when someone fell on the floor and media is only trying to make a living. However... I don't get one thing. Mariah is Star Rated, same as Whitney but what is Beyonce doing there? Surely, Mariah could hits every single note of Whitney & Beyonce. Whitney herself, would be able hit most if not all of Mariah's note and would be more than capable of hitting every single notes of Beyonce's. But I doubt Beyonce ability to hit every note of Mariah or Whitney, she probably wouldn't manage to get half of it right. I've seen her horrible national anthem. Don't get me wrong, she's a good singer, better than average... but star rated? I find Mary J.blige can sing live 10 times better than Beyonce. Patti Labelle too, would've easily own Beyonce but Patti isn't star rated. P.s. I think Mariah isn't happy with her life about something... it's bugging her enough that she stress eating, I supposed. If notice, it's not about Era or Years... Whenever she skinny, she can hits most if not all of her old notes. The only times she failed or having trouble is when she double in size. I do believe, if she constantly exercising like JLO who's constantly dance, Mariah would've easy own every singers out there. I am too, still confusing at this point... Mariah is filthy rich... and would be able to afford a trainer or maybe more than one to get her in shape. Why doesn't she? Speaking from experiences, I am always Stress Eating... It's a thing. LOLzzz. And because of chubby I am, people refuse to believe that 2020 hitting me hard just like everyone else.

[@robinjrgensen646]

@@austinjt4264 You’re way off😭😭 You don’t say that about other people!!! First of all. With net can’t hit more than half of Mariah’s notes. Second of all. Beyoncé is better than Mary j. Bilge live ahaha, and don’t even mention Mariah’s godmother the legend herself patti labella who can belt a D6 live ahah. Mariah is the best singer to ever have lived I my opinion. And this year (2020) she’s absolutely been killing the game. Her vocals are the best they’ve been since this performance in my opinion😌 Merry Christmas!

[@robinjrgensen646]

I ment Whitney Houston*😌

[@austinjt4264]

@@robinjrgensen646 I supposed you never listen to her actual Live or you've been listening to a dubbed version or that you have a horrible set of ears. When Beyoncé performs live, she shown all vocals traits that a professional singer supposed to eliminated. Her national anthem is a prime example. When she wasn’t backed up by a track or high end technology, she sound dried af, this is why she chose backtrack instead of doing live. She knows herself to be horrible. With an excuse like having a bad vocal day but her speaking was 100% fine at the time. Beyonce would shy from a 100% Full Acepella Song, Christina isn't, neither Mariah. Beyonce has been debuted since forever. There is a reason why she wasn't well known during her debut era because around then, Mariah & Whitney was still in their prime. Beyonce only become known nowadays, because everyone else during this era is worse than her or on par with her. If a new Mariah exist, Beyonce would've been shove to the corners. Yes... Ariana can’t hit half Mariah's note. A lot of people expect her to a homage to Mariah, including herself obvious but she has yet to covers one of Mariah song to its prime state, go figure. Ariana is not on conservation side, if she does have ability she would show off, she does shown that she takes a lot of pride in her singing. Mariah conserved her true ability on studio performance. But when she debuted live, she killed her own studio version. Has Ariana ever shown such a capability? Nope. And she didn't even need to out-sing Mariah, she only need to out-sing her own studio version, even at that she failed miserably. You are an Arianator, you wanna to up lift her, I get that. But don't even disregard Mariah's capability. Ariana isn't limited by anything... And Mariah's limited by her nodules. Always remember that. And even with nodules, she out-sing so many others... Ariana included.

OMG this is an AMAZING performance. I have never heard her do that at 3:20 and it was great. She even went for the "lord knows" part from the studio version and everything. I'm almost positive she could have done the bridge like she did during the Daydream Tour (except for the G5). Queen!!!!!!!

[@Tornado1994]

robyn There's only one Male counterpart with that high of a vocal range. A little Texas kid who studied Whitney Houston and was discovered in 1988 by Quincy Jones.

It's true... I think she needs to rest a while and stop beeing a workaholic

[@Tornado1994]

cirej25 She sounds fine at 45 singing a song she sang at extremely high notes. Especially since she spent 4 years being married to the Sony Music CEO Tommy Mattola who worked her to the bone everyday.(All she did was record and perform and tour during their marriage).

[@rawalton1]

Of course it does. She actually is famous and successful for and because of her vocal ability! Duh!

[@musicguy713]

This was amazing. These shows were healing for her in so many ways after she was shit on by the media that whole year. It's been a rough few years for her but she will come through.

[@fersalinas3503]

Today she sounds with very fear, her voice its gold but her confidence is gone :(

[@Solo-vh9fm]

Luis Salgado it’s not even her confidence her actual vocal condition has deteriorated especially since 2016/2017. At least before 2018 you could say that there’s songs she could easily have sang 100% live (Without You, My All minus the first chorus, Touch My Body, Make It Happen, Beautiful, Hero...) but now she looks uncomfortable above a G#4 and I’ve heard her crack too much at Bb4 at the highest. She literally drinks while singing Touch My Body now

[@jemmamariexxo]

SO HAPPY HEARING HER MOST RECENT PERFORMANCE OF HERO! (The Live taping from her home studio)😍 ..It's what made me come back & re-watch this. Just goes to show that you were right, you should never count our girl out! She truly sounds AMAZING in 2020, like BETTER THEN SHE HAS IN DECADES!! Seems as if maybe she's getting proper rest & just feeling more confident now..Idk..but whatever she's doing, it definitely shows in her voice & general demeanor bc she is legit glowing from the inside out! I Love Mariah regardless & believe her talent & impressive vocal ability have & will NEVER leave..I mean I wouldn't expect anyones voice to stay exactly the same forever (especially given her unique circumstances w/nodules & belting out such elaborate songs for X amount of yrs.) ..I just think she has set the bar SO HIGH for herself so early on that it's been almost like a blessing AND a curse for her. Anyway, I'm just glad to see her still doing what she does best & that's performing for her millions of fans & people who (especially in times like this) often look to her/her music for comfort & strength. ❤️🐑💋💋

[@alexyork8638]

I was there on the 21th and 22nd and she was amazing. Best nights I guess. She still has the voice. She is older now so I guess she makes a different degree of effort when she hits particular notes. She has bronchitis very often, more now than when she was at Sony with Mottola controlling her...He used to take care of her voice more than Mariah herself these days.She is aging, so I guess you body change but also your voice. Sha has a more mature voice now, but you have also to consider that she still has nodules, and none of these have been removed yet(nor i think they will ever be). If she lipsync some parts I don't reallt care. The voice who sang the notes was hers, the authentic one in a studio recording. Maybe today she needs to hit a note more than once even in the studio, or she needs several different takes before reaching the final result, but its all natural. If I was a singer and I had the chance to mime very difficult parts of a song I would do that without a doubt. Everytime. Even with my voice in the best conditions.

[@Tornado1994]

Alex Bradsahw It's like Tevin Campbell. When you you've be using extremely high octaves for over 20 years, your voice strains with age. She's 44 here and sounds fine. Just like Tevin is 37 at Essence and sounds fine.

[@ce3540]

[@StevenSenjaya]

She didn't have to lip that "the waay" , "comes along", "survive", "hope is gone" imo. She just hit so many Eb5's effortlessly here which is harder to do than the playback o.O

[@Estanceviri]

She lips bc its A sustained note and she has nodules theres A verrry high chance of her to choke or just dynamically go flat. Our Queen still can hit f5s so we should let her lip some sustained notes so she still can serve us thoso vocals

[@Estanceviri]

@@tunakazanci3075 It kinda is actually bc its again a sustained note not that she cant do it She ABSOULTLY can do it but she goes on tour a lot these years and it puts hella strain in her voice. I dont think she would choke but she would be raspy or hoarse after 5times doing it bc she doesnt taking brakes after concerts sometimes 2dayz but mostly just back to back performances

[@Estanceviri]

@@tunakazanci3075 it doesn't? The only sustained part is that and she dodges the other difficult parts "cuz I can't go on living in the memory of our song" she dodges most of the parts here

[@SweetInterlude]

Çeviri Adresiniz the stability it requires to sing the first half of My All is tiring because it requires more breath control to whisper melismas. So by the time she gets to the bridge, she’s not exhausted. Lipping certain areas of a show is so crucial for the health of her voice but also the quality of the show. Anyways I’m so glad we all enjoy this hero performance, so beautiful 😘
