3:35 Mariah voice is so powerful it makes Michael’s go into the background- insane 😮

[@PlayMouseTV]

mariah is giving full chesty resonant belt while michael is doing a chesty mix, hence thats why its easier to project louder for mariah since that the note A4 to C5 are mariah's most resonant area in that era (i guess)

[@Nicole-kc1vx]

She was so nervous yet she did AMAZING! Everytime she wasn't singing she was anxiously looking at the teleprompter for the lyrics, and the tapping to count the beats and self soothe, yet the moment she opened her mouth to sing you couldn't tell she had any nerves whatsoever, it's incredible. This woman will forever be my icon.
