I don't get why everyone is putting the SNL rehearsal on an pedestal these last few years. Is it because the actual SNL performance is not on YT anymore? Her voice is way more powerful and with much more emotions during the actual SNL live performance in the black bodysuit.

[@jdog6891]

She is the voice of our generation. No one can touch her. I repeat no one. She shouldn’t be compared to any other artist because it’s just plain disrespectful. She’s in a league of her own. Mariah’s team needs to upload professional footage of this date to enlighten people cause a lot of people forgot about her immense talent and vocal abilities that are out of this world. I wish Mariah was this carefree on stage now. But at the same time I understand way she is the way she is. Mariah receives so much hate and is constantly disrespected. People bash her voice, her dancing ability, and most importantly judge her as a person. But us fans know she is a sweetheart of a person and is so good to us. Her music let alone resonates with us, touches us, and gets us through tough times. She was having such a good time, interacting with the audience and experimenting with her voice. Her confidence was booming.

I remember I was about 12 when I heard her voice. My first thought was :"she must have some special lungs set" It was Without you. I was struck by the total honesty of her voice and the sheer beauty of her sincerity and the beauty of the voice itself. Only Whitney was able to move me that way. But besides a one in a century voices both ladies have this sth special, that makes a singer a real singer. Today I am 40 and I love Mariah's music, her golden voice with all its colours and versitality supported by incomparable agility. Her sense of music is paralleled only by Aretha, Ella and Sarah. Her sincerity equaled only by Whitney. Her crazy scales still not matched. I am happy that I live on her time, I am lucky to be her true fan. I Thank you Mariah from the bottom of my heart, musically You are my soulmate. I am not religious but may God give you anything you pray for. You have given US so much.

And some people say that MBT tour wasn't great... She was on fire this night, I've always believed that music box is her best era , people always say daydream is he best , bcz of the consistency and power , but for me it's MB , her tone is at her best rich and heavy , still got that dark side but lighter than debut an emotion. The upper belt are on great (even she's wasn't consistent as daydream), lows are great, head voice are great, agility are on fire, resonance... Jesus Christ 😭💥, whistle are high, Powerful and🔥🔥, and her midbelt 😭👑🔥🔥🔥... Daydream didn't handle perfect whistle, while MB did , and if MB has daydream 's consistency.... Every vocalist claiming to be the best will shut up .
