Mariah Carey's "Vanishing", [LIVE SNL 1990 Rehearsal] - SINGER REACTS

[@somespecies]

I think we all can agree here that we became literally obsessed with "Forever" the first time we heard it 😆

[@erikatorresmusic_]

IT’S SO GOOD

[@causeyje5791]

This is the performance that made me appreciate and recognize Mariah’s greatness. Truly a masterpiece

[@user-pj5us2xz2p]

yesss

[@erikatorresmusic_]

This is a great one totally agree

[@FishFinga17]

Her "Unplugged" concert. That did for me. Way back when. That concert truly turned the doubters into believers. I came across this performance of "Vanishing" only about 8yrs back, and yes, it totally blew my mind

[@TheEarthRealm]

"Somebody's doing the wrong note" officially became part of the lyrics for me. 😄

[@calebbrwwn]

Mariah's Phrasing and breathy tone in this performance is just beautiful❤️ The dynamics are everything.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

So true!!!

[@somespecies]

The cat moment, the lighting, the sudden consciousness to your speaking voice... I'm loving all the *tangents* (as Mariah would word it) lol

[@erikatorresmusic_]

HAHA so happy you enjoyed the chaos. Thanks for this comment ❤️❤️❤️

[@Neonlike0]

I'm sorry your cat bit you! lol. Loving your whistle tone! I can't get enough of your Mariah breakdowns - You and I (live Stevie Wonder tribute) showcases her lower register ALOT if you are interested in checking it out.

Thank u!!!! And yes I’m scared of the cat. So happy you’re enjoyed the videos, I might need to take a look at that Stevie wonder tribute !! ❤️

[@arturodelcastillo9191]

Yes All people who study music have to analyze her ! Master vocalist 👩‍🎤

[@Ernie1978]

I love the outtakes of "Forever" at the beginning of this one. "Vanishing" was written and produced by Mariah on her first album. This SNL live performance is legendary. Cheers for your wicked reactions and teachings! - Having finished watching the video, the editing is phenomenal and the rants and bits are priceless!!!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

So happy you liked it!!! Mariah is an incredible vocalist and such a brilliant songwriter. Thanks for supporting me and all my craziness !!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ramonpadilha9987]

@@erikatorresmusic_ I loved your singing "Forever". That's such and beautiful song. The transitions are so seamless.

[@arturodelcastillo9191]

One in a billion !!!!! Fantastic vocalist technique., amazing songwriter and producer ❤

[@lilyrobert2224]

Hi Erika. I love this reaction to one of Mariah's older lesser known songs. As you said, I felt the initial pacing of the song showed her vocal richness and emotion, allowing the listener to really connect with her. Mariah will always be a vocal queen in the past and present. As again, your analysis was very detailed into this performance, noting the Mariah's extraordinary runs and riffs. I love that you were so intense in this video during the analysis. Your funny comments/bits definitely gave me a smile numerous times during this video.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Hey girl!!! So happy you enjoyed this one and all my craziness. You’re so right she will always be a vocal queen, and like I said I love the intimacy we got here, especially in the beginning. Thanks for another lovely comment ❤️

[@Rico-x2g]

The Queen of Music!

I fell in love with Mariah with Forever New York Performance

[@zusman84]

Omg you are so hilarious. Thank you for these Mariah reactions. Please react to "You and I" tribute to Stevie wonder. Her low notes are insane. ❤️❤️

[@joshuasanders2123]

Yes this one!!

[@joeymoricone9008]

That song is so good!!

It was her first wedding song to tommy M

It’s such a good one!

[@ramonpadilha9987]

@@erikatorresmusic_ Can you react to her solo version of Whenever You Call. It's as good as "Forever".

[@ao11861]

I watch a lot of channels reacting to vocal performances. This is hands down the best channel yet! I'm learning so much!! You're a gift young lady. Wondering if you would react to a Whitney Houston live performance please 🙏.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you so much :) I appreciate you ❤️ I love Whitney so I’ll have to at some point

[@princestory26]

sing with ur whistle register now!!! an iconic mariah rehearsal (or shall we say, performance?)

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Check out my cover of My Hair by Ariana… I got a whole whistle section!!! You’re right totally iconic rehearsal that might as well just be a performance !

[@angieh612]

I love how detailed your reactions are in regard to the dynamics of Mariah’s music! And even showing us what she didn’t do with a particular run or something. ❤

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you so much :) Glad you can enjoy it

You did it again! Amazing reaction. A real winning formula, you have. Your knowledge, your ability to explain, your voice, your charm (looks/jokes/passion), or your cat. Very much appreciated!

Thanks ❤️🥰🍾

[@JacquelineRocco]

Fantastic! Great song, I loved the lyrics!!!! Thank you wonderful commentary as always!

[@mijalakis3]

Not the first time she corrects h3r back up singers, at least this was a rehearsal in 2008 GMA summer concert singing Touch my body she was so angry the with the mic on she sang "Stop singing my part now baby" as if that was part of the song

[@hergar5780]

I discovered this song after I discovered Mariah’s “without you” song when it hit Europe. Bought the debut album and got obsessed with that song that deserves to be a classical like all of Aretha’s ones. This rehearsal is even better than the live she did. « Doing the wrong note » is like the memory of the birth of a Queen that will testify of how good she is and was one day when she died at 12 YO in 2122.

[@wesselpricken6342]

Loveee do Anytime You Need a Friend (From Mariah Carey (Live)) next time !!

[@user-pj5us2xz2p]

Love your Mariah Carey reactions

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@franss7554]

Once again, excellent break down! I’d recommend you to make a Short comparing the “somebody’s doing the wrong note” from this rehearsal video and the real live performance one from SNL (but be careful as it’s copyrighted) or the one from the Tatou Club where she wore a brown dress! ❤️

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you!!! Not a bad idea :) ❤️

[@jasminefranc5889]

Yes please! My non musical ears have always been wondering what note he did wrong. Someone once told me that it was just a higher harmony that wasn’t supposed to be in the original composition, but I still can’t hear it! Lol

[@joeymoricone9008]

Ok yes you need to do “you and I” live by Mariah Carey it’s amazing

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Maybe you’re right!!!

[@user-pj5us2xz2p]

You and I please next! Lets do 00s Mariah

[@creamrisesup]

Oh...Mariah, what can I say about her, is there anything better than those 90's inspired ETHERIC voice which I grew up listening and stayed with me unspoiled so far. May it remain that way forever. Please do a reaction on Everything Fades Away and Lead The Way. Thanks!

[@CiaraITB]

Thanks! I appreciate the content you’re putting out as always💕 Also, your vocals are always on point sis

Thanks honey ❤️ I appreciate you

Will do!! :))

[@joeymoricone9008]

She calls out people all the time “stop singing my part” hahaha

[@erikatorresmusic_]

We love that energy 😂

[@ulimehmood3743]

The only person she didn't say "you sing my part" was Whitney Houston on Prince of Egypt. Whitney sang a part of her but she was very gracious ❤️

Ooooo

YESSS PLEASE

[@arturodelcastillo9191]

Can somebody try and do it in this level ???

[@damianclark74]

I NEEED your reaction video to Gabriel Henrique’ cover of Mariah’s version of “I Want to Know What Love Is.” I need you to break it down like only you can. I would LOVE if Mariah would have him open for her. He could be in the running (literally) for Beat Male Vocalist in the world. Seriously, he is that good.

[@sodade21]

Hey there ! Loved you reaction as always! Notice how they have put a stuffy guy of SNL as the top left Backing vocalist because they did not had their real pianist for the Rehearsal! So her lefty Backing Vocalist that he was an excellent pianist himself saved the day. SNL Camera man/Director wanted to have the lefty though thats why they putted a stuff guy..he seems so lost and funny :D as for the wrong note.. (although never understood it , maybe she mixed up cause she missed one of the backing vocalists,the lefty i mentioned earlier ) she got really nice relationship with her backing vocalists they always are playful if you hear the whole rehearsal. snl stuff even yell to them cause they where singing and doing irrelevant songs and vocal gymnastics :P The transition on the whistle is one of the best of all time (not only by Mariah)

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Omg thank you so much I didn’t know any of this!!! I can tell she has a good relationship with them I love the way they cheer her on at the end. I didn’t know she didn’t like to sustain long notes bc of her nodes!!! Man she can really hold some out she has incredibleeeee lung capacity. I never would’ve known if hadn’t told me!!! But thanks again for watching and being here for me :) ❤️

[@ManifestationPowerhouse]

Could you react to We Belong Together? I know it’s not vintage Mariah. But I would like to hear your analysis on 2000’s Mariah too ♥️

I can’t believe your sweet baby (who is DEFINITELY not male, as I learned) bit you! You need to remind her to not bite the hand that feeds, literally, or she might not get her Temptations treats 🤣.

HAHA that’s right she is a lady 💃🏻!! I knew you would now never forget it! You’re right tho I should remind her not to bite bc sometimes I am scared of her

Pretty sure its the piano player out of harmony. I believe he was her musical director during her first set of live shows, but he didn't stay around too long.

[@somespecies]

Yayyy another Mariah video! You're the best saxophone here on KZbin 😅 Also I think it's time for you to react to her post-prime performances. Check out "Never Too Far/Hero Medley" live on A Home For Holidays. This was the time when her career dipped real hard and people tried to count her off and consider her a past act, but despite that, she delivered vocally in this Era

[@erikatorresmusic_]

HAHAHA 🎷🎷 Oooo good point, thanks for the backup information too. I am planning on going there at some point but I probably need to do some research. Her voice is complicated and I don’t want to say anything wrong, but I’ll start looking up some of those performances
