People say that her voice was terrible in butterfly and rainbow era i think it is her eras that showed vulnerability through her voice. Absolutely beautiful
This song is absolutely impossible I don’t know how she did this even in the studio. She’s switching registers every other word and just when you’ve blown your voice out from high belts there’s a massive key change and like I said register switches every word. It’s insane.
Trust me it’s better to sing this in studio since on studio you can have different takes and find the best version. On live, it’s only 1 take. Don’t act like she sang this on studio in just 1 take lol
@@usedtobe1197 My All was actually the penultimate song recorded for the album. And it was recorded in July 1997. It was the last song Mariah and Walter did and they fell out before it was done and that's why there is no bridge for My All. They didn't write one because they never met to finish it
@@kijanayoung2000Where exactly would the bridge be in My all? like the song is already great without it and very difficult to sing, imagine with it.😮😮
@J_rob13 last song. With Butterfly the ballad. Mid 1997. Fly Away reprise was recorded before Butterfly the ballad. Even when you hear her voice on Butterfly the ballad and My All they sound similar (listen to the F5s on "For you'll NEVER be mine" in the bridge of Butterfly and cause I can't go on on My All Chorus) they sound like they were recorded within the same month. Mid 1997
Her songs and her voice are too beautiful. But when she struggles, it becomes more real and more gorgeous. Her musicality is overflowing. And her adlibs here were genius.
Idk why you said whenever you call was gonna be bad. I can hear her voice pretty well! Only hissing but I don't mind! Love this. This is one of the best ballads. Thank you!
This is my favourite Mariah song and I've only just discovered she performed it in Taipei, I just moved to Taiwan for uni and have been in Taipei, I didn't think big artists like Mariah came here
1 of Theee most difficult songs to sing LIVE in A FULL LIVE CONCERT OF 60 MINUTES AND MORE!!!!! NOT THAT IT WAS RECORDED MANY TIMES FOR A TELEVISION 📺SHOW......💪💪💪💪bravo MC🎤🎤🎤
This was a bit of a mess. She's only human - no one is perfect, but this video also makes me think that 1997 was the year she started having voice issues. 1990-1996 were the golden years vocally. And for this song in particular, Daydream Mariah would have had this song for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
She is a human being, just like anyone else. Every singer has good days and bad days. Keep in mind that the range in which this song is placed is extremely difficult to sing. If you don't believe me, try singing this song and see if you can even get past the first chorus. It takes a lot of energy, stamina, and pretty much being in perfect form - not to mention your intonation and agility has to be insanely good - so I applaud Mariah for doing this song live during a time when we know she was struggling in her life.
@@bohlalenchabeleng1370 She hasn't smoked since she was 18yo. About alcohol, I don't know for sure, I can't give an opinion. I think the nodules and her psychological state during that period were the biggest reason.
1998 was literally the worst her voice have ever been. And to have the audacity to try to sing this hard a$$ song is just crazy. I get tired just listening to the climax let alone try to sing it.
"the worst her voice has ever been" i'm gonna stop you then and there. sure, butterfly era wasn't belting the high notes with the effortlessness of daydream era; BUT in 1998 she still was very good vocally. you want the "worst" her voice has ever been? listen to the toronto 2000 concert.
What do you mean “to have the audacity to try to sing this hard song”, If they can why not? There are singers can sing this song with no struggle. Well, as a fan we should accept. :)
