[@chrisedison2645]

It IS a professional recording. It’s always been a professional recording. She is a brilliant lip syncer, probably the best in the world as long as the tape doesn’t mess up. Even her “improvised” stuff is pre-corded and well rehearsed. Try to find a raw live recording of Mariah Carey that sounds as real as Whitney, Kelly Clarkson, ANYONE. You won’t. She has someone else’s voice dubbed in. That’s why in this video she turns her back to the camera when she starts singing the difficult part. There are no recordings of Mariah Carey since day one that is actually her singing the whole song. She’s a very successful Milli Vanilli. Now go watch Whitney live. Listen to her tone. Watch her mouth and throat. Then go watch Mariah. The tone always sounds recorded because it is.

[@chrisanthemum7]

that run at 1:23 is utterly unbelievable. that is like human autotune. unbelievable.

[@chrisanthemum7]

***** nah, that ain't autotune. There's none of that electric feedbacky sound that lets you know it's autotune. Even if it was, who just has that combination of melody just come out of their mouth while they shake their head softly and not even a furrowed brow?? It's just beastly, so don't hate.

[@mrbelieve123]

***** Hey, I was wondering if something was tweaked here. If you see her performance of "The Art of Letting Go" she did prior her voice didn't sound as full on this. Also I realized at the end that it was edited when she's saying "I'm exhausted its just for laughs" "imma leave here before i go to far". Anyone have an opinion? BTW I love me some MIMI, so no disrespect.

[@svichky]

it's not autotune, it's just that she has so much flexibility that her voice can with great speed transit from one note to the other, causing that autotune effect. i speak from personal experience, being a singer myself. doing scales is the best thing for practicing agility, and when you start being really good at it and reach certain advanced level, your voice just floats and overall gains immense stretchy quality to it, that for the effect has an amazing ease while executing runs, thrills, melismas. and mariah's voice has always been known for being very agile.

[@sammypuro9392]

svichky Not trying to hate, but the truth is light performance auto-tune is being used here. There is a difference between being able to do amazing melisma's and using a slight touch of auto-tune to make it sound even slicker. It's okay though because auto-tune is good when it's used by already good singers like Mariah.

[@sammypuro9392]

***** Lol, okay clam down. I don't really mind her using it nowadays since she's had a career spanning 15 years. It's hard to always sound great and I think at this point she just wants to take it easy and have fun with it.

In 2018 she's rested for six months, so hopefully her voice will be back in great shape in July.

i come back to this video a few times a year and every single time it gets me. mariah is not just an incredible vocalist, as she continues to prove time and time again. she is a true MUSICIAN. perhaps the greatest of our generation. it takes a true musical gift to be able to ad lib these notes and these key shifts and these runs. for example, what she does at 2:40 is beyond words. it's subtle and if you're not musically trained or really paying attention, you'd miss it. but within about 2 seconds, she is able to find both the key and the starting note of a completely different song and modulate it to the key that big jim is playing on the piano. her ear and her vocal control is absolutely awesome. she has truly been blessed, and the fact that we get to witness her raw gift in this video is something i'll cherish forever. thank you so much, mimi. you bring me to tears.

Her best live performances are CLEARLY when she is relaxed. This was stunning.

Someone finally said it. Her instrument has always been fragile due to nodules, but when she's in a comfortable space, she still sings well.

[@pennydimedime]

She invented that register, it aint no register if she can't hit it anymore!! LET IT GOOOOOOoOOO

[@FFSnotagain]

pennydimedime that's why I said her old register, she did have it, you guys sometimes don't have a clue of how difficult must be for a singer like Mariah or someone with that kind of rare talent to feel that due to their efforts they've spent most of what they had. It's really unfair how the world has become so cruel with their talents. Nothing lasts forever and unique talent only shines for a short period of time but her register was there, no matter what you say, doesn't mean she has to deny her actual situation but these kind of people deserve some respect for setting up the standard so high they cannot even reach it anymore. The same happen to artists like Maria Callas, and she died in depression feeling she would always be a shadow of herself. There's nothing tougher for an artist than being defeated by their own past, that's the real dark side of pure artistry.

[@dazz_in_the_now]

what are you on about, she clearly wanted to segue into a whistle note so i'm not sure what your on about, if you think she was thinking I could have belted that note then you are just being silly the timing of the song doesn't allow for that, if she could have she would have,but she didn't and she executed the performance incredibly being impromptu.....do you really think she has time to sit around and ponder whether she can hit a note or not even though she put all her effort into doing crossover from pop everyday classic Mariah ballad-like to contemporary R & B extraordinaire of course her voice changed as did her style as did her music and obviously as did her old ass fans like you.

Hey Mariah. I've been your follower since early 90's and I will always be. To me, you are the most unique singer on the planet. Your voice chills me to the bone. I'm never gonna stop listening to your music. My dream is to meet you one day and hug you. God bless ya. Tom

I think the people that believe that she is bad and don't care about her lambily are just delusional, and stupid. It's clear that she making music after 24 years of career for all of us. She stay here because all of us. I think she is the most funniest person/artist I've meet in my life. She is fun and sweet with her fans. Seriously people, she is one of the most beautiful person in this business, and has the most beautiful voice too. God bless Mariah!

[@ethana.8653]

That was...ridiculous...I love it. Mariah during her impromptu moments is simply ridiculously perfect.

[@rahtorres4305]

I swear she makes me cry idk why!! This pregnancy has time too damn emotional… man I love Mariah!! One day I hope to see her live!! I don’t think I would be able to handle it!!

[@AndreRodrigues-qd6cu]

This live vocals are the best, in my opinion, taking into consideration her timbre. Her tone is gorgeous and she's very relaxed❤

[@AznFlex1]

Omg Her Voice is FLAWLESS STILL!

[@TENDOKIYOTAKA]

This is exactly the reason why she's still number 1 to me… Love Mariah!

My personal description of The Song Bird Supreme's voice today is first a roaring lower register with GREAT resonance, resonance she lacked in the 90's, even in her prime (94-96). Her mid range voice is weaker yes, but i cant quite explain it some days it's weak yet strong enough to compliment the song or some days it can be strong, thick and raspy which creates great emotion. Her mid-range is most likely where her nodules lie. Her upper register is shrill, more of an effort but if you're a real mimi fan you applaud her for her risk she takes in this range, right when you think shes gonna crack.. she doesn't its amazing. THE MONEY of her voice is not whistle anymore its her falsetto which she has developed so well over the years. Her falsetto has a unique airy tone that can create complex melisma, its absolutely mind blowing those runs she can do. And Finally her whistle, she has better control over it now, but i dont think its anything special as it was in the 90's. Yet i do find it more precise than ever, and does have the signature "ring" it's always has. SO that's my opinion, I LOVE YOU MIMI!

95-96 is her decline

[@marina4407]

and she’s just playing around! whoooo chileee THE TALENT

[@cecillediamante8417]

What an insane freestyle!! That's made her a songwriter

[@mkygod]

The audience reaction is almost as priceless as this performance :) That blond sitting down is like in some kind of permanent awe. I bet her face stayed like that the whole night.

[@thecraftyvirgoat]

kind of reminds you of the girls on the front on the video hero in 93 where they were staring up at her in awe

[@mkygod]

@@thecraftyvirgoat omg I know exactly what you're talking about. I watched that video on vhs soo many times!

[@craig2469]

Can we talk about her transition into the whistle register effortlessly. I wasn't expecting that. 🔥🔥

[@FrancescoLau96]

This deserves a Grammy

[@vanessapap861]

Not me still listening to this ! I still know it by heart !

[@ahcaroles]

What I love most about this is that she's not only improvising the melody, but also being actually funny and cute with the lyrics, it's so entertaining. Vocals on point also!

[@xzxnndghsjjjj]

"she lost her voice" exfuckingcuse me while I laugh my ass off for 12 days. she sounds extraordinary

[@MrRewiboi]

Your comment made me laugh x 12 days .

[@josiejuarez1671]

And this is why she's always and forever be a legend. God, how amazing and effortless she just goes through different registers. Her voice is truly a gift. So thankful I grew up to real music.

[@MusicMakesHappiness]

I always come back and watch this every so often, literally my favourite thing ever!! Queen👑

[@euniceip536]

a true singer/ vocalist can sing in any circumstance

[@xh.b5909]

1:23 That was too amazing!

[@irinaermolaeva5520]

She is extremely witty . smartest people has the best sense of humour. I always loved her comebacks.

[@taeydream]

when she started doing fly like a bird, i lost my shit. she really needs to do her older songs asap. but anyways, this whole performance was just filled with her amazing personality and amazing vocals, and i'm in love.

[@Suebee29]

God, I love this woman. There are many good singers out there, but there's no one quite like Mariah!

[@joelgarcia3907]

Her musicality. If only she wasn’t so shy and humble. Can you imagine if she ad libbed when she was with Whitney. Whitney was always trying to get Mariah to ad lib on When You Believe. Also imagine divas live when celine kept up with aretha and then some. Mariah didn’t want to jump in out of respect

[@epiyawne]

Blonde lady @ 3:42 is me everytime MC comes on the stage and slayssss
