Y’all have to remember she is over 50 now. People expect her to sound like her vocally prime yrs in her 20’s smh. She is a living legend and tho vocally has declined as all singers will. She still has solidified herself in music as one of the best singer/songwriters ever. I’d still go to her shows because ,I understand aging(keep living) and appreciate what she’s done for POP/R&B culture.
I agree wholeheartedly, but I think for this particular concert, expectations were especially high because the rehearsal clips were amazing and it's basically the best she sounded in years
idec about that i feel like everyone else’s time got sucked out this year. like charlie puth only did three songs and rosalía four.. everyone had minimum like 15 minutes last year and they barely had 10 this year.
Her vocal circuses may fade with age as any other singers do BUT her unique Mariah tone will live forever and that is what I always look for a singer, the unique tone. Mariah, you will always be a global treasure!
She had nothing left to prove. Her legacy is impeccable and her talent is undeniable. Every new show and appearance is a favor she gives us. pure talent
She charges hundreds of dollars for pre-recorded vocals from 20 years ago and y'all still blabbering about having nothing left to prove LMAO - Y'all need to wrap this up and call a kettle black. You lover her? AS YOU SHOULD! She was one of the best if not THE best vocalist in the 90s? ABSOLUTELY YES. But y'all pulling out the "nothing left to prove" card to justify this clownery is just delusional. If I'm paying 200 £ for a dinner and the chef comes out with the microwaved version of whatever the hell he cooked the night before I'm not going to tell people "oh the chef has nothing left to prove, his legacy is impeccable and his talent is undeniable." I'm gonna ask for my money back.
She looks and sounds incredible. Her voice still gives me goose bumps. She's an icon. The Queen came to slay. The mic was ON. She also performed Always be My Baby but I think they cut it for time. She sounds amazing. Anyone who says she can't sing anymore hasn't followed her career and isn't paying attn. Thank you for posting this
@@P0Lak2012 I'm one of the honest fans here and I wholeheartedly agree. Seing what Mariah is doing with her voice now is simply tragic to say the least. Such a talent was simply wasted, devastating picture...full of lip-syncing and bad acting skills, not even talking about very very very mediocre singing. She used to be one of the best, and I kinda know what happened to her - she simply doesn't care anymore, you can clearly see and feel that. If all those stupid comments about "OMG, MARIAH SLAYED" were actually honest here, they would agree with this. Mariah is shitting on her voice since like 2000, do they really think she's gonna change at this state? What a naive crowd of zealots...anyways, I'm done here, and she used to be my main inspiration. What a shame...
@@P0Lak2012 Why do y’all feel the need to keep saying “ she lost her voice? ” girl she’s 51 and had 2 kids her voice has matured and changed and she still sounds beautiful in my opinion… oh and I love how she changed it up to be able to sing it with her current tone btw don’t expect a grown woman who is 51 to sound like a little 24 year still it’s unrealistic 🤦🏽♀️
I went to her Christmas show 2019 front row and I saw her earlier tours 20+years ago. She’s a living legend. One of the best songwriters and vocalists of all time.
She's like a Rolls Royce. An eternal classic. 50 + years with a pioneering catalog that spans 30 years. A trend setter. Always imitated, never duplicateted.
To be 52 and being able to still sing like this is incredible. This is pure talent and artistry. Mariah is one of the greatest vocalist of our time. She’s a living legend but damn to be 52 and be looking this good and sounding like this at 52 still being able to sing like she’s 30 or 40 at 52 dear God she’s extraordinary.
She’s singing her heart and soul for over 30 years, of course she’s not gonna sound like she was 20/30 years old at her prime. Mariah is 50 and she’s a living legend, and has nothing more to prove to anyone. She sounds good, and looks so stunning!! ❤
@@edwardfortune4412 she did. It’s crazy the most accomplished black women are the only ones who are demoted in humanity for not being superhuman. A slight vocal decline is equal to the worst singer ever. Sad shit.
you can't say she can't sing, she just can't sing like she did before, but she can nail lower notes (although she nailed we belong together for ex.). Her songs are the most difficult to sing, of course a person at their 50's can't pull it all off. anyways she's shining, she's beautiful, she is happy on stage again and she's the moment ❤️
Exactly my point they act like any of these new singers out singing her which is funny 😂😂they be saying Taylor, summer walker and all these girls can SANG but say MARIAH CAREY can’t sing 😂😂😂😂like make it make sense
Honestly its not her age that’s exactly the problem. Age does change your voice, but because shes done so many tours and was releasing back to back albums every 2 years in the 90s. And sang vocally demanding songs from 1990-1996 with no lip syncing or proper rest honestly has had its lasting effect on her voice. Plus her nodules in the past 15 years have really started taking they’re toll on her voice. She has lost so much support, fluidity and agility. She hardly ever used vibrato. She can’t have her nodules removed. She needs vocal surgery and a vocal coach to properly help her to fix her voice. Because its not going to get better if she doesn’t. She has her good days, but shes going to have less good days if she doesn’t seek proper help.
Yall can’t keep blaming age.. Celine & Toni still sound amazing, Patti Labelle just started declining vocally in her 70’s, Dolly Parton still sounds fantastic, Aretha still sounded fantastic in her last years especially when she sung for Barack Obama so I don’t wanna hear the age excuse
This woman has nothing to prove. She is living her best life singing the songs that have so much meaning behind them. I’ll subscribe to your channel if y’all can sing better than her!
Her voice might have been shotty at times, but this is BY FAR the best live set she’s done in a while. I also love the energy and how comfortable she is on stage. I think the stage fright with large crowds is leaving!
This is right! She is a national and worldwide treasure! The voice is not as powerful as in the 90s, but there's been plenty of stress through the years. And we can all take better care of ourselves with exercise and breathing exercises. She still has a beautiful voice. She's a walking, talking work of art, like Whitney and Phyllis Hyman and Diane Reeves. I was so inspired by these women. We need these voices in our lives to put beauty out there. We love you Mariah!
@@Eddo128 If you listen closely you can hear that she switched back and forth between live singing and lip syncing during the climax "the wayyyyyy and then a hero comes along" was lipped and then she switches back to live singing on "with the strength to carry on" for example.
Mariah Carey is over 50. You know, it’s priceless to be nice. She is appreciated in the music world. Why is she the only one that has to make a comeback ? She has 19 numbers 1s !!!! She has the most honest performances ever ! ❤️❤️
Mariah Carey is so cool her music is timeless I cry sometimes she sings from a dept her songs will never be forgotten there is something special about her
LAMB FOREVER. People are so mean to her, always talking about her vocals but they don't say anything when i watch their favorite "artists" doing playback all the time and their fans pretend that it was live lol. Don't care what anyone says...MARIAH is a LEGEND.❤️
Sorry to break it to you singing on top of the cd (musical term is playing catch-up)is part playback part live the problem was the voice wasn’t warmed enough why didn’t she stuck to Honey/Heartbreaker/We Belong Together she tried to take Hero that everyone wants to sound like 1993 she should realize she can’t hit it anymore same with Butterfly same with songs from that spectrum
@@Daydream30583 i'm talking about playback, some artists do this all the time, they almost don't sing and people pretend that it was live and amazing lol. But with Mariah is ALWAYS the same boring thing. Leave her alone. Respect her before she dies, she can do whatever she wants. Don't like it? Don't listen then.
@@dinasilva9263 Firstly people liked it most of this otherwise they probably would have walked out same as it happened to Whitney in her2009 tour she shots herself in the foot that’s the thing touching songs that she can no longer touch because people want it in a certain way!!There was absolutely nooo need could have done A No No from Caution Migrate from E=MC2 done
I love her sooo much! I’m dying for new songs from her!… apart for that. She’s so funny, she so comfortable on stage talking to the crowd, she’s just entertaining all around, I’d go to see her even if she only talks.
For those who are hating on her vocals I would love to see you sing her songs live and see how you fair, plus I'm glad to see her perform and hear her sing if she wants to get rid of the nodules or get vocal coach then she'll get either when she's good god damn ready to, not when ya'll throw shade and be disrespecting her but pass it off as I love her but, there is no but's coz your giving back handed compliments to MC this woman like many who started with her or before have set a legacy and inspiration to female singers we listen to, today Mariah did an amazing performance and I loved every min of it, and no I ain't deaf I jus know that I will forever love hearing Mariah Carey and that if you ain't got the guts or the balls to get on that stage and sing her songs to a live audience full of people then shut up talking shit about her voice and her stage presence.
She can still slay the finale of We Belong Together. Lots of haters in here saying it's synced, but she was improvising the notes and you can't improvise when it's synced. If you're looking at the big screen at the side of the stage, it's not accurate because it's about a 1 second delay. When it cuts back to her on stage you can see it's not synced. Stop being haters.
That end part was pre-recorded... auto tuned and trills digitally... ahem... enhanced. But I love that she keeps going! Hero was live though. Actually she is my inspiration so I don't wanna be mean. Cos M keeps trying and so do I. Plus she was forced to sing too high too long in the early days ,,
She may sing in different keys 🎹 but her ability to sing with emotion in any genre of songs is what’s so engaging to me. She sang her songs different and kept me wanting more. Also, When she speaks you can tell she’s intelligent Even though she down plays it, just like her beauty.
Her voice may have not been as crystal -like as in her prime time back 20 years ago , it has passed the test of time and grown even more soulful and mature, though.
MC The Butterfly Queen of Pop/R&B It's been since 1990 she signed to Columbia that this diva is still performing on stage with her known classics Fill my emotions with the vision of love so we can be heroes
Eu estava lá, e...Mariah esta acima até da própria voz, que não é mais a mesma, mas a mágica esta lá. Fiquei muito emocionado quando ela cantou Hero. Lendas são lendas, Mariah é única.
Eu de todo meu coração desde 2017 quando me tornei fã oficialmente, amei a honestidade que ela cantou, amei ver ela tentando, ela me mostra que não precisa ser perfeito pra ser incrível, eu ainda tô viva, pq ela me ensinou que ninguém pode tirar algo de mim a não ser que eu deixe, eu amo ela ❤️
Mariah Carey is simply amazing!!!! I don’t have much else to say, except she is one of the powerhouses, and pop/rNb queens of the 90’s/00’s. She has so many hits, I can’t even name them all.
Man there ain't nothing like Mariah and nobody will compare her voice is real and authentic and there's not to many that is that what makes her Mariah a
She is Amazing bright talented!! Her voice goes to so many levels! So smart in everything she does I love watching her and listening too all her wonderful music Especially her Christmas Music ❤ you Mariah!!
This discussion is so exhausting! She shaped the music industry and upcoming singer in so many ways, isn't that prove enough? Why does she has prove it everytime? Everyone's getting older that's why we retire one day and before that happend our Leader is exhausted because of our notification of illness because it's human!
In We Belong Together she was really strongggggggggg The Resonance is still there especially when she went on the higher octave and the melismas and switches to different registers I still hear the Young Mariah Carey and the vibratttttttttoooooooooo . Especially to do that LIVE
LEGENDARY IN 👏🏻 EVERY 👏🏻 SENSE 👏🏻 OF 👏🏻 ITS 👏🏻 DEFINITION 👏🏻 So many incredible moments during this! And have respect for the ICON that is MARIAH F$@KING CAREY 🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰😩😩🦋🦋🦋
I wonder if they ever thought about the magical vocal acrobatics that she did/does for longevity of her career. I cannot imagine the pressure. Her songs and her voice. Pain and wonderment for a middle schooler/ high schooler and adult!
the greatest singer in the world, inimitable career and has a unique voice, her tone changed is normal and even so she is still the best in this performance she was nervous and saving her normal voice people
Mariah es una artista tan perfeccionista que tiene lo que llaman "oído absoluto" y por momentos se nota incomoda porque el sonido del festival no es el mejor . pero ella aun así continua , es asombrosa el nivel tan grande de artista !
A lot of you are commentjng on her voice without knowing the way voice works. You're identifying thete is something off, but don't diagnose what it is. I'm her literal biggest fab. I can however twell she's not at her best here. Her voice HAS come back, but the issue is....her BREATHING TECHNIQUE. When she recorded these songs she was younger and slimmer. Her age and bigger, beautiful self means she needs to do breath work. She does not take in enough air anymore, which makes trying to sing these sustained difficulty notes difficult. She should so pilates, yoga and deep breathing exercises so she's more healthy and less out of breath. With deep intakes of breath, her voice will soar again. Because it is there versatility and tonally-wise. She just needs to BREATHE. She is also incredibly nervous she hates huge concerts with loads of people. Thia makes her not prepare for each song properly breathwise. I think perhaps she cant intake breath as deeply as she used to, in part because her clothing works restrict her chest and lungs. Just loosen up Mariah-your clothes and your mentality. You are the absolute queen. Noone like you, and historically in the top 3 voices of all time in popular music, along with Aretha and Whitney. I wish you knew this yourself and were badass about it. If Aretha is your idol, take some of her attitude. There is no need for you to either be humble, or to not believe in your innate ability. There will never be another Mariah and we are all blessed to have lived contemporarily with you. You are mothfkin badass, and you should not forget that.if you can take the energy you felt when you did the surprise impromptu thing at Jimmy Fallon (he had a conceeept. And heeeeee😆) and feel that at your bigger events, you've won. Just imagine a much smallet intimate crowd and stop trying ti play for thousands of people in your head. Reduce them to 20 people in a room, and you're not even trying to impress. That is when you shine. Im so jealous of the people in your life who get to hear you sing little ditties and without having to project or try....your PERFECT pitch ability is insane. Anyway, this was a lovely performance. It showed your vocals have returned to something substantial, but that you merely need to alter your breathing technique to properly provide the bodily infrastructure capable of transmitting dem vocals
