Research Mariah Carey's Performances With Me!

[@NIPPYxMIMI]

Some great more recent performances without lipsyncing, both improvised: "SURPRISE! Mariah Carey Gives Private Performance For Fans" "Mariah Carey gets her diva on, and does some improvised singing in Australia" You also HAVE to hear "Forever" from Tokyo Dome! Transistions and agility out of this world

[@oneilgerald]

Ooo! Thank you for this!

[@NIPPYxMIMI]

@@oneilgerald thank you for doing such a deep dive into Mariah! Your insight is great

[@MDak28]

I’m someone who became a huge Mariah fan at the end of 2016 and truthfully when I first became a fan I definitely preferred her earlier career. However, the more I got to know Mariah and hear her talk about music and herself in interviews and such, and the more I listened to her more recent catalog, I began to fall in love with her later projects as well. And now I prefer her r&b! Her most recent release with muni long is incredible! Anyways, I enjoyed the video and I can’t wait to hear more from you ❤😊

[@oneilgerald]

I love this! There is such a beauty to her later music that I absolutely love too! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🥰

[@Cledyston]

6:40 I think that the answer to that question is more related to the time when people "discovered her" and their emotional bias as in nostalgia and amazement created by that discovery at the time. I remember being completely obssessed with her and listening to Music box all day long for months, learning every single riff, every harmony and instrumentation. Then came Daydream and the same cycle restarted. LOL I miss those days.

[@oneilgerald]

BOOM!!!! I love this point! Nostalgia plays a VERY big part in this! And with a 35-year career, there are so many generations of fans that want their own nostalgic experience! Seeing that at work in your own experience of Mariah is super cool! Thanks for sharing 😁🥰

[@gohandaimao8091]

I was born around Music Box, but I discovered Mariah during Daydream when I was 2-3. I love all iterations of Mariah for different reasons, but Daydreamriah has a special place for me for being the one I imprinted on

[@Scott-yy]

Mariah's voice is what makes her story so intriguing!!! Its just so unique and different from everybody. Mariah has had hiphop influences since her debut honestly but it got very prominent in the song DreamLover and then Fantasy remix and many songs from Daydream to when it become prominent in the Butterfly album. I prefer her vocals post 2010! Tbh

[@mayalicious203]

I really enjoyed that you included the racial component because she has spoken about how in the beginning of her career when she wasn’t allowed to make many decisions on the style and genre of her music and was pushed into being as Pop (and white washed)as possible. The label /ex husband really did not want her making anything remotely black sounding. The moment she started calling the shots is when her music flipped to that more RnB sound and personally I think that’s when her vocals really start to shine

[@swacman04]

Many true lambs aren’t stuff in the 90s. But those are def some of her best vocals. I’d look into My All Live 2016-2019. Many Beacon Theater performances from 2014-2017. The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour 2016. Many Australian 2013 performances. 2009 I Want To Know What Love Is Live from X Factor. 2018 I’ll Be There Live.

[@oneilgerald]

Oooo! That’s really good to know! It’s so interesting getting to know this fanbase! 🥰

[@iammesmerized]

I knew a singer in the 90s who had curly hair and a beautiful voice from watching MTV videos. I eventually learned her name, Mariah Carey. First songs of hers that I heard is Hero. Then I got a cassette tape of Daydream. I would listen to it over and over again on side A and B, haha. I also had to fix the tape with a pencil repeatedly.😁

[@joshuarodriguez9477]

Listen to her vocals in Xmas MSG IN 2019, and all oher vocals from 2016 are AMAZING, pls listen to the jazz improvisation 2012, Australia Improvisation 2013, Beacon Theather 2014

[@jonadol]

ntm on Jamaica 2015 that is a moment all lambs cherish lmaoooo

[@oneilgerald]

I found it HILARIOUS. I loved it.

[@husamashour5327]

If you really want the "Live Mariah Carey Experience", please go with the undubbed version of her concerts, especially Madison Square Garden (MSG) 1995 - the undubbed version of MSG is truly her vocal peak!

[@onepleiadian]

Raw or released it sounds mostly identical tbh.

[@Inspiration_Series]

Hero, Boston, December 11, 2023 is a more recent performance.

[@CruiseControlM3]

6:46 I've been a fan since 1993, seen the highs of highs and the lowest of lows. I truly believe her current vocal state is due to stuff happening behind the scenes via management. She has expressed several times over the past few years that she is unhappy with management. It's clear they got her strung out on meds that is affecting her voice and mental state. She always sounds her best when she is happy, and it's clear she isn't these days. From her looking like a zombia on stage, to her not really caring to lip properly is just so sad to see. The truth will come to light and we will see her emancipate once again from the strings that are currently ruling over her life. #FreeMariah

[@swacman04]

“Scatting Over Hip Hop Beats” is crazy because they say that about Beyonce now. LOL

[@oneilgerald]

CRAZY.

[@JCole-fg3rr]

Beyoncé has been doing that since Destiny’s Child’s first album lol

[@swacman04]

@@JCole-fg3rr exactly. But she’s started doing the rap-singing thing even more since 2013

[@oneilgerald]

@@JCole-fg3rr I think they’re saying that diminishing Mariah’s music to “scatting over hip-hop beats” dumbs it down in a racially biased way. And it’s the same for people that say that about Beyonce’s music.

[@TheArtofBeingReacts]

I grew up with Mariah, but I became a Lamb in 2009 (Memories of an Imperfect Angel), but didn't realize I was a Lamb until 2019 (Caution). I love her early work, as well as current work. "I disregard time"

[@o6279]

Some of my favorite performances from mariah are god rest ye merry gentlemen (2015), one child (2010), you and i (2002 ), and love story acoustic (2008)

[@instasingingvids3529]

2018 My all in the Phillipines was really good and fully live

[@neworleans504fresh]

Hmm. Great list. Idk if it’s been mentioned but Yours ‘03 Today Show and Nevertheless 2024

[@1990stronger]

[@ArtbyKurtisEdwards]

Saturday Night Live, Can't Let Go, and If it's Over two performances that are the best, not just Mariah, but some of the best ever

[@johnathancruz4190]

Check out Blueprint 2005, 93 tour music box live showcases similar vocal texture as recent Mariah... Check out 2009 Christmas Special on AbC when Pregnant... She has great times but people forget vocal cords are tiny muscles, some songs well all of them are vocally demanding, and some things are muscle memory for her and some aren't...

[@tredavid5412]

American idol 2013 performance

[@ProlificStudio]

Mariah #Moments are even better than a lot of her prime vocals. But that's not news to real fans. We've getting almost 20 years of them. And I'm more than satisfied about that. 🦋

[@strangerthings88]

It’s really not racial bias it’s personal preference in music and when you grow up blown away by the power in her voice to her mostly whispering it’s not as enjoyable. It is still amazing music 100 percent.

[@BeenMean]

Her performance from the Live 8 in 2005

[@Divahdivah25]

You are spot on mate 😊

[@oneilgerald]

Really!? Thanks. I’m glad I’m making some sense to some people! 😇

[@divboo45]

Should definitely add love takes time live. Also we belong together/fly like a bird from the grammys.

[@whisperriah]

for me personally, why we lambs like her 90s performances more is bc thats when she was performing live, her performances after the 90s or early 2000s were pretty much lip synced, not that we think she can no longer sing, but her confidence in herself started deteriorating, we can see that in 2003 she was in her vocal "prime" again, the same in 2005 she was delivering iconic vocal moments, but during MOIA era she was also performing less and even if she did it was lipped

[@sstevee1988]

She already had 8 albums of not so much classic Mariah (belting , clear whistles and colarotures and legato moments). We want a melodic album with not so much production, and background layers....and also no autotune like "Me I am Mariah". An album with Clear sound and Pure authenic vocals.

[@oneilgerald]

Oo! Thanks for sharing. I will say. Mariah has always evolved her style with the times; not to mention that she’s also evolved as a woman. I think asking for an album that asks for “classic Mariah” dismisses both what it took to get her to the artistry she presents now and her desire to make music that she wants to make. No problem with wanting something from her, but I think it’s worth pondering. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@o6279]

Me I am isn't autotunned

[@JCole-fg3rr]

No other fanbase is tied to the past more than the Lambs because most artists haven’t suffered from severe vocal declines. Their recent vocal performances are just as good as their primes or early performances. Post 2005, especially post 2013, you’ll just find lambs are cherry-picking very specific vocal moments because the overall vocal performance is inconsistent. Very hit or miss.

[@jaylenstevens887]

Not true! We lambs very much enjoy recent vocals! We just go to past vocals because people like to play in Mariah face like she wasn’t/isn’t one of the greatest vocalists ever!

[@TheArtofBeingReacts]

Now that's a lie. MC is a very present artist, always dropping the New New. Just released a remix with Ariana and Muni Long. Mariah can still sing today, and it's never, ever, a debate from this Lamb. MC16.

[@JCole-fg3rr]

@@jaylenstevens887 very true and a lot of y’all are lying to yourselves. Forcing yourself to like certain performances even though it barely had any vocals worth highlighting.

[@JCole-fg3rr]

@@TheArtofBeingReacts none of what you said has anything to do with what I said. You should actually read next time.

[@jaylenstevens887]

@@JCole-fg3rr ok what performances are you referencing? Because if we’re talking about recent, she’s just coming off a SOLD OUT residency, and there were PLENTY of vocals worth highlighting! This is exactly what lambs take issue with, Mariah constantly having to prove herself! So what if we never get “Tokyo Dome” vocals again, doesn’t change the fact she did it and showed she could do it consistently.

[@stephenodriscolllynch2653]

People forget that Mariah is black as well as white she’s able combine genres of music and put them together

[@killlamas57]

Please be mindful that she does lipsynch a lot, especially as time went on. No hate to Mariah

[@oneilgerald]

Thanks! That’s definitely something I’m watching out for!

[@levigrayyy]

@@oneilgeraldin her recent tour of 15 songs, she sings for about 30 seconds live in vision of love and a tad bit in I’ll be there. Other than that she hasn’t sung. She’s became very inconsistent above F4 😭
