Mariah Carey's "Make it Happen" [LIVE] -- Jazz Singer Reacts

[@angelxemotions9102]

This was live but this performance was dubbed, however whats crazy is the undubbed version was basically EXACTLY the same, in fact many consider the undubbed version of this performance her best performance in her career due to her stamina, breath control, agility, resonance, and power she displayed in the performance and making it ALL SEEM EFFORTLESS.

[@jasminefranc5889]

I always prefer her undubbed ones. I need to hear all the breaths and imperfections just a tiiiny bit!❤

[@imfreed152]

I prefer the undubbed better 😂

[@hughw2377]

They dubbed the volume because the crowd was crazy loud!🤣

[@angelxemotions9102]

@@hughw2377 yeah lol

[@Truthhurtz618]

Was in the choir..time of my life

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Wow, I can't even imagine what that would be like

[@hughw2377]

The dubbing was to amplify her volume because the crowd was so LOUD!

[@somespecies]

Speaking of MC's speaking voice, she recently appeared on Jimmy Fallon show and her speaking voice there sounds soooo good. She even did a short book-reading and her voice sounded very captivating I can't even explain

[@zusman84]

Omg that's so true. Even her speaking voice is unique. I love how she can imitate some people like when she imitated Aretha, it was so on point. What can't she do with her voice. Mariah is a vocal goddess even when she speaks.

[@franss7554]

Your demonstrations & comparisons when you’re trying to get your point across is just amazing!!! Can’t stop watching your videos!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Awe thank you sm!!!

[@shinichikudo2669]

@@erikatorresmusic_ You should react to the undubbed version of this song.The undubbed one is much better

[@JacquelineRocco]

This is such a fantastic performance by Mariah, I loved it!!! Your reaction was wonderful Erika, as always!!! Thank you!🤩🤩🤩

[@philipkudrna5643]

First of all: Mariah in her best shape in my personal opinion. incredible. Second: Great analysis! Some might hate, how you chop up the video, but I love how you not only dissect all the nitty gritty details, but are even able to reproduce and demonstrate them! (and I’m such a fresh way). I love when analysts can actually do what they are talking about. Looking forward to more!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you so much!!! Happy you appreciate it. Some don't like it but I find it's the best way to explain & give demonstrations! :)

[@azkbyzk]

Her voice is so unique

[@GeloMeme]

Her speaking voice is also DIVINE!, she read a book at Jimmy Fallon recently and she's so gooooood at it.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

Adam is a dedicated lamb 🐑💯 Your Mariah videos are so dope. I love your commentary throughout. Can you do Mariah's "My Saving Grace" live on Oprah

[@hergar5780]

This one is not fully live but the live parts are so good like in through the rain one from the same show, she goes into deep notes that are not in the recorded version that are so good! Love them

[@brandonleans]

Ah you did a reaction to one my all time faves🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️ loved it! Such a great reaction as always. Would be kinda interesting to see your take on her very mature voice doing this song so many years later. She did a home performance during covid of this song mixed with through the rain... I was so proud. I'd love to see that reaction 🤗

[@wahn10]

Love your Mariah reactions and analyses, Erika! I learn so much more about her subtleties, technical prowess and musicality. Lead the Way would be amazing. Here's my favorite video of her studio version, which also indicates high notes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jWdHd6gKlogqc&ab_channel=AndiantoMahdi

[@lilyrobert2224]

Hi Erika. I liked this reaction video. You seemed to emphasize more on the joy and brightness of Mariah's performance. I agree, I could imagine watching this performance live and having the time of my life! Thanks for reviewing another one of MC's vintage performances.

[@originaldeftom]

Loooooove your analysis! Yes that performance was A++!!

[@DumitruVitcauscas]

OMG,u made a such a good work !!!! Thank you , let's go with more MC reactions.

[@TomRussle]

This is dubbed but the undubbed version is on KZbin, I suggest you react to it as well!

[@sim19]

Love love love

[@angelxemotions9102]

Btw her belts at minute 14:00 are belts not head voice, shes just sooo resonant up there she makes it sound like that. She hit an F5 with those belts tho, if it were head voice it wouldnt be nowhere near as powerful, being as she has hit F5s in head voice and it doesnt sound like that, nobody can make their head voice sound that strong lol.

[@jasonvincent77]

She sang it live. It was the beginning of her career

[@krissy9128]

This live was dubbed for some parts but the crazy thing is....the undubbed is literally much better than this. I don't get why they did dubbing for certain parts. Look at the undubbed (it's available on here) it's incredible!! The agility, tone, stamina and resonance was A1. Mariah + choir = unbeatable 🔥

[@RedyyChuu]

I think sometimes it can be an audio issue, how much of the audience you wanna hear, mariah and choir audio levels. Dubbing let’s you control all of that.

[@krissy9128]

@@RedyyChuu Right, I think so too. Most of the time it's little sections that are dubbed for her (not the entire song) and it's for many different reasons. Haters are always using it as some joke or to say she can't sing live. That's not the case. She has many perfect live performances. 1. Her songs are harder than anybody else's. I'd like to see them and their fav nail her arrangements to the T time after time (&she's had those annoying nodules since the start) 🙄 2. Sometimes she would hit her notes but she was really raspy (nodules)..so she cleaned it up a bit. But she SANG. 3. Poor audio needs to be cleaned up before using sh*t commercially. She's not the only one who did it/ who's doing it.

[@zusman84]

Omg you always make me laugh. "You know who doesn't cry a lot" 😭 🤣. But great reaction and vocal analysis. Oh please react to Mariah's Joy to the world live at St John the divine church.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

HAHA thank you sm

[@joeymoricone9008]

And this performance!!!❤️

[@never152]

Another great reaction video. Like how you pointed out the "I see you up there" bit. Fan favourite. She actually does it in other make it happen performances as well.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thanks!!! I love that little spoken line so playful and fun

[@Truthhurtz618]

More amazing then being on that stage for 2 songs and front row was watching her rehearse..solidified me being a lamb

[@DS-zx6tl]

Thanks for this!!! I do wish you reacted to the 1993 proctor theatre performance lol

[@zusman84]

That performance was amazing too.

[@Vain-Voyager]

I actually prefer her earlier versions of this power ballad during the debut & _Emotions_ era when she was explosive with sheer power & energy. She's more refined throughout the mid-90s. There's one raw footage in black and white showing her singing the "unsingable" _Lead the Way_ melisma. There are also some breakdown videos showcasing the notes she pushed out with the complexity & speed.

[@johnpaulcruz6620]

Thank you for this. But I do hope you react to Mariah's Tokyo dome Performances

[@joeymoricone9008]

I love this song!!!

[@johnskarmeas]

9:42 i am obsessed w how these runs sound when they arent perfect idk why something about how she does them

[@labeti25]

Can you PLEEEEEEEEEEASE do a reaction to "if it's over"her live performance from mtv unplugged? It is a BEAUTIFUL performance!!!!

[@testynet]

Oh yes, it turns out that, as I've thought before, one day there will be someone who reviews this song. I am very moved and motivated to hear this song, and I often play it to accompany my joy as well as my sadness.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Happy it can lift you up through dark times :)

[@michaelreyes2630]

I’ve always thought the “never find the answer if you throw your life away” part kinda sounds like trumpet riff

[@jaredt8526]

The undubbed version is even better imo

[@zusman84]

Can you please react to Mariah Reflections live, at home for the holidays special. I would love your analysis on her vocals. One of her best vocal performances in my opinion. ❤

[@rafaelgonzalez4469]

Love your reaction ! Have you thought of doing videos on some male voices ? BTS did a live cover of coldplays fix you that got a lot of attention. I think you'll like the different colors of their voices :)

[@Gabriel-fk2tu]

There is a version of "Lead the way" covered by Gabriel Henrique, a Brazilian singer. He is phenomenal. You should give it a try. He has been covered a lot of songs by Mariah by the way. I think you'll like it.

There is a version of this concert that is not dubbed and she sounds exactly the same, but you can hear the audience and it’s distracting so they dubbed it

[@marcosalterio6306]

Erika please react to Mariah duet, with Johny Legend "with you I'm born again" 🥰

[@sodade21]

Yes its Dubbed like every dvd release anyway but they overdid it at 90s with the polish.. they didn't changed too many things but they polished the sound,the normalized the sounds,killed some crowd yelling etc.. I don't like dubbing and polishing cause everytime they do that they kill bits of the soul of the performance... those tiny imperfection that makes the live performance so magical. the raw footage exists and its or par if not even better than the dvd version ofc the quality of the sound is not that good... for example at vision of love she did it 2 times cause the messed the ending and afterwards at the editing they took the best parts of the 2 performances and made a perfect one.. this concert is one of her most perfect of her career cause she knew that she could re done everything if she wanted.. it was a concert for making a dvd.thats why she is relaxed and confident. and ofc she was at her peak of her voice and career. but I miss that her voice became very bright and whiter than her earlier years. i think she is more relaxed,confident and sure about her uper belts but her tone for my taste is not that good like at her first 2 years of her career.. not dark and soulful still beautiful in a different way though. Great analysis as always! Great stuff!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Ahhh I see. Yeah i agree imperfections can be so charming though the screaming crowd drives me nuts hahaha. I'll have to check out the undubbed version. She really is super relaxed and confident, her joy is contagious! Thanks for your comment and coming back to see me :)

[@RUSSWynne]

HI, check out "the hottest band in town" with Judith Durham. A few years ago now but the lady can sing.

[@jasonvincent77]

Lead the Way takes a lot more reasonable effort to hold the looooong notes and her background vocals are almost nonexistent. So it's all her.

[@faidranikolaou9565]

I am just as disappointed that there is no life version of lead the way. And it's the same with the rest soundtrack of "Glitter". I think it's the song with the highest note in all o Mriah's audios so maybe I just ask a lot. Ever when I hear it her voice is so clear and powerful that I immediately lower the sound.

[@crownguard8936]

This is live but it's dubbed. Her belts where waayyy more powerful and stronger and loud than this
