Reaction to Mariah Carey - The Art of Letting Go (Jimmy Fallon Surprise Performances for the Fans)

Hey y'all! Mariah's microphone may have been on, but mine definitely wasn't and I didn't realize until I started editing, so sorry this video sounds like it was recorded in a cave. We'll work on that. This was my reaction to Mariah's surprise performance of "The Art of Letting Go" for the Lambs on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon back in 2013.

React to her improvising in Australia, when she had sound issues. It's one of the best things I've ever seen in life! Love and peace from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[@Cheng_97]

I think she's talking about all the long plain black dresses and turtle necks and giant leather coats Tommy's team made her wear. Like you only saw Mariah's head, arms and ankles from '91-96 when all she wanted was to just show a little bit of some skin and feel sexy. 🫢

[@kylewippel6492]

you are exactly right!! ^

[@cameronmccarter9951]

i always thought she was talking about american idol, because of the “people that i didn’t like and they were there everyday” but honestly that makes so much more sense 😭😭😭

[@rhettmitchell]

Yeah it was about this and how she wasn’t allowed to leave Tomey Motorola’s mansion

[@benjamineleazar]

I wish we can get 2 times Mariah Mania per week! 1 a week is not enough. It is enjoying you enjoying and adoring Mariah!!!!

[@kingsofrb3078]

Honestly I want a Mariah week lol

[@viniarchanjo]

The surprise video had the 2 Mariah’s fastest runs ever. Rewatch later it you want to see them.

[@capitalhillproductions9790]

Tre...i already know you did we belong together video but I'm telling you.... You are REALLY missing out on We belong together Mimi's Late Night Valentine's Mix extended.... It has to be the EXTENDED version. I promise you that your jaw is going to drop and you are just going to melt. There is no video it's just audio...i hope other commenters agree.

[@rhettmitchell]

Yessssss omg

[@jijohnson02]

I live for Mariah Mondays!!

[@pedrolopes8105]

I liiive for all of your Mariah reactions. Keep doing it please!

[@daydream10.18]

I adore this performance. She's so funny!

[@CurtisJamesHill]

Btw, I highly recommend listening to raw studio acapella stems of butterfly, Fourth of July, fly like a bird, circles and many more.

[@CurtisJamesHill]

Last thing. lol. U would enjoy watching when she surprised fans on Ellen dressed in a maid costume! 😂

[@MrDLOC11]

Trey u are exactly right about MC in concert - yes the looks, the songs, the voice, all grade A - por supuesto - But it is in the BANTER that you get the COMEDY ❤ cuz its in that sense of the ridiculous that you find Mimi - half aretha franklin, half betty boop ... Im ready 4 a Mariah summer 🌞🌈 Wed August 7 - las vegas 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@buddylove9922]

Mariah always talks about having to wear certain dresses that Tommy picked out and in the beginning of her career she was always in that Vision of Love little black dress so she’s mostly referencing that and the fact that Tommy controlled her career down to what she wore

[@robertquindiniso4120]

I love your videos❤️ Mariah seems so relaxed and happy here❤️😍👑

[@84jdubb]

The dresses are referring to when she was on American idol as a judge

[@MrMan-vn7rg]

8:26 it’s not necessarily a specific dress she just didn’t like when they made her wear those trench coats and church dresses in mostly music box to the end of daydream lol, in this era in like 2013 she usually wore No shade but stripper dresses 😭 well to be fair that was only in like music videos

[@pookybear2155]

American idol she's talking about

[@renardojones6717]

She was not talking about American Idol… this was about her first marriage. The dresses she is referring to are the same dresses Tommy had her wearing over and over. They chose their on wardrobe on AI with their own stylists

[@teej143]

Probably one of my favorite live performances of MC

[@mijalakis3]

She is referring to every piece of clothing worn prior to Butterfly era. Mottola picked every piece of clothing she wore

[@CurtisJamesHill]

So glad someone told u to watch this! Probably one her best live vocal moments of the 2010s and one of my favorites!

[@Tawwiee19]

Yaaasss. ✨THE Queen of Adlibing the Adlibs✨ indeed!

[@strangerthings88]

Are you going to react to any of her interviews from earlier until now?? That would be amazing. You especially need to see the one with her and her mother on Oprah in 98 which was all about being biracial. It’s shocking and tear jerking

[@ArmyOfMe1981Ry]

It's true. We do need hugs!

[@marlonlx]

This was right after American Idol, she had been very vocal about how unhappy she was during her time with the show and had a few people pressed 😂 she wore many different gowns during that season

[@xejelah]

She liked those, that's not what she's talking about.

[@debutriah2854]

this is false. she’s talking about when she was under tommy and her wardrobe was extremely limited. they had her wearing wedding dresses on tour at some points

[@marlonlx]

@@debutriah2854 it is though 🤷🏻‍♂️ she was shading Idol left and right around this time.

[@debutriah2854]

@@marlonlx the evidence swings more towards Daydream, especially if you read her book. the hatred is definitely for Tommy and his team

[@victordavid6494]

@@xejelah She's saying she hated the job with those people she didn't like and were there every day, not the dresses

[@visionofjay]

7:53 So when her career first started, the record label and her soon-to-be husband (and later, ex-husband) the CEO of Sony Music, used to make her wear dresses that were to the ankles and up to her neck and flannel shirts and trench coats basically anything to keep her covered up as well as controlling a lot of aspects of her creativity and the type of music she did, not letting her collaborate with certain artists, etc. It wasn’t until Butterfly that she started being much more herself with her music and her image.

[@user-rk6fi2cp1o]

She was talking about American Idol and Nicki Minaj. She indeed had amazing dresses, but Nicki was always there lol

[@strangerthings88]

❤

[@hectorbello161]

I think She’s referring to her Tommy years. She says: and I stayed and I stayed and I wore them dresses and I did that shit that I hated. She was covered up to the neck, she was forced to sing bland ballads, etc.

[@markfraaancis]

Speaking of Master Class, you should react to her episode for Masterclass!!! ❤

[@Bruddahlekii]

I cry everytime I watch this video because I would react the same way or maybe just sit there and cry 😂😂 LalaLOVE this 🫶🏾🤍

[@ricardoaugusto9694]

Amazing reaction of an amazing time. MC is also very very funny You should also react to a non musical video: Mariah MTV cribs episode. It IS Iconic

[@tlctiago]

I think she’s talking about the wedding dress, perhaps all the dresses Motolla chose for her to wear. That’s isn’t anything about the AI era or neither stuffs about Minaj.

[@Smark71920]

She’s talking about Tommy making her cover up and wear dresses that were long and high. Lol

[@brandonleans]

Hey Tre! I hope you're doing well! I've got 3 concerts for you to react whenever you have time for a Mariah Monday. It's fan footage but they ain't too bad. First one is her full concert in Melbourne in 2013 I think it was for the triumphant tour. I'd love to see your reaction to Mariahs full concert in 2018 in Manila. She had some amazing vocal moments. 3rd concert is in 2019 at Curaçao north sea jazz festival. There's a surprise Mashup for you that I know you'll enjoy 😏 Thanks❤️

[@owenroberts2069]

she was referring to the black modest dresses she was forced to wear early on in her career :}

[@xejelah]

She's referring to the dresses she had to wear while married to Tommy. Her say was limited and her wardrobe was a board room meeting. She didn't want to be conservatively dressed and be "old" before her time.

[@sergiorodriguez5945]

She’s wrote this song during the time she was on American Idol and she wore dresses and despite taking the job she hated it!

[@marlonlx]

I don’t know how people can believe this was about anything else 😂

[@strangerthings88]

Umm no it was about wearing things she didn’t like when she was married. How dumb are you people? She picked her own wardrobe on idol 🙄

[@renardojones6717]

This had nothing to do with AI! Where do ya’ll create this shit 🤣🤣🤣

[@RachunJaikaew-gu6bx]

i felt like it was her ex manager that push she thru many tv programs, did tv performances. when she's on american idol, beautiful released. the track reached top20 in hot100 plus she was in good shape. then she fell off the stage or something so everything delayed like a year. she wore long sleeve glove in that arm and gained weight a bit. people teased her like photoshop diva for album cover. beautiful could not push up the album coz it's too late. you're mine is only another music video as i remember. this album should be more famous if there's no such thing happened.

[@TreMcLeod_]

Ohhhhh yeah that makes a lot of sense. I remember the American Idol era but I definitely need to do a lot more research on what was happening behind the scenes

[@RachunJaikaew-gu6bx]

@@TreMcLeod_ American Idol Medley, she's so beautiful.
