Original VS Cover Smackdown! I'll Be There - Jackson 5 VS Mariah Carey

[@fazzyvlogs3650]

As much as MJ is a Legend, we cannot deny the fact that when it comes to vocals, Legendriah wins.

[@bamb6098]

Funnily enough this is one of a few songs where both the original and cover both hit #1 on the charts

I've always said Mariah has a similar tone to Michael Jackson when he was in Jackson 5. Great video

Can't take away from the original but Carey makes the song her own as always! Stamp of approval 💯 👌

I believe This live cover Mariah did was the first and only time a live performance has become a number 1 song.

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for the info, commenting and watching!

[@RedMushroom23]

mariah always makes the original 100x better and makes you think she's the original singer of the song

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@shemirjones7320]

I have to agree I like both. I’ll say you can tell Michael is a key inspiration to her considering she sang it literally exactly the same way

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for your comment and watching!

[@shemirjones7320]

@kiddish ssy just because it’s a cover does not mean the covering artist will sing the song the exact same way. Some artist even change lyrics. Don’t be an a$$

[@TaiNguyen-gp5ps]

Mariah Carey'voice is so magic and unreal. Michael Jackson has a good voice. 2 legends forever.

[@tashiellechambres6766]

Love them both

[@fazzyvlogs3650]

Fact: MARIAH CAREY VOICE AND ARTISTRY MAKES ANY SONG 100X BETTER

[@IRockReviews]

I didn’t realize I had one...lol. I’m from Michigan. Where are you from?

[@marishkagranada7985]

@@IRockReviews >>> lol. I don't think you have an accent... Maybe the guy was just mesmerized by your american accent. 😁

[@sonerballeis7851]

Fun fact: Mariah's Version of I'll be there is more Successfull as the Original one by The Jackson Five

[@ltsoul9751]

I can't pick either! I don't like this one im toorn!

[@IRockReviews]

All good. Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@Truthteller58-z3c]

Michael sings with softness a perfect tone no screaming and yelling

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for commenting and watching!

[@marishkagranada7985]

You mean no resonant belting and adlibs? Yes.. that's simply because michael couldn't do it... Let's face it. Michael is great but when it comes to great singing, Michael got nothing on Mariah. 😏

[@wilfredotomas6236]

Mariah Carey the legendary icon the queen the best version than the original ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑👑

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@GeraintJones-i1c]

Mariah was required to sing a cover song at the MTV unplugged session and the fact that this version went to number one

[@Jonathan-js3bx]

[@Truthteller58-z3c]

Mariah over the top as usual

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@Truthteller58-z3c]

Mariah mess up the song she needs to stick with her own music and leave perfection alone

[@IRockReviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@marishkagranada7985]

Hahaha... I'm one of MJ's biggest fan... But I'm not that delusional kind of a fan like you are... Michael is great but he's got nothing on Mariah when it comes to singing.. MJ could only wish he sings as great as her. 😏
