Mariah Carey - Make It Happen (MTV Unplugged - HD Video) 

That PIANO is out of this world!

When live is better than studio

This is true music : real people, real instruments, real atmosphere, real mood,.. real everything....

This whole concert proves to the haters that Mariah can sing outside of the studio.

she actually made it happen

The instrumentation and arrangement are out of this world

It’s unfortunate that we don’t see this kind of performance anymore. There’s so much musicianship.

More people need to see this side of Mariah. Its so sad her great works are overshadowed by her christmas song and people sleep on her talent which is crazy.

..this song just literally slayed the songs on the billboard's hot 100 of today...

"I got my feet on solid GRRROUND!" sang Mimi! :)

Why are all Mariah's songs difficult to a certain degree? I wish I was still young so I could belt her high notes without struggling hahaha

Mariah Unplugged, this is 26 years ago... Damn! She blows me away in this performances! She's indeed one of the greatest vocalist of all time!

Two of them playing the piano...PLAY IT!! 😂

Three Legend on this video. Mariah,Walter and David

No matter how many times I hear this song, it always gives me chills. The emotion, the energy, and the message just get me every time!

The classic double piano playing and the church claps on the bridge! Mariah led that crazy arrangement like it was nothing. A genius!

At the acoustic piano Walter Affanasieff and David Cole ( rip ) at the same time! Is a treasure!

I've seen this performance HUNDRED of times, not kidding

3 decades later and this video remains to be relevant. Mariah truly is an unforgettable icon of the music industry.

To do a flawless performance unrehearsed and be so controlled, then to finish it with an angelic WHISTLE straight from heaven, are you kidding me ?!?!????!! And some have the nerve to doubt the Diva!!

And how many views this got? Underrated af

This is the song to push yourself towards,prosperity,money, and good living, I'm 35 and I've listened to every lyric of this song and it's helped me sooo much!!!..I've came from nothing and i made myself something 🥰my parents worked around the clock to make sure me and my brother had everything in life,toys,clothes, food,dressed to the best, but sometimes we had to make it happen ❤ ♥ my idol Mariah Carey ❤ ♥ best vocalist, producer, songwriter, director, female singer of all time 🥰🥰no denying that..

Cole and Afanasieff played the hell out of that piano!

Mariah is the best singer in the world😍😍

BRING BACK THIS KIND OF MUSIC :( poor ppl nowadays with good taste of music :(

The guys at the piano: the true masters of these songs 🙂

They are jammin on that piano!! The vocals of Mariah and the background singers are heavenly.

the band has the perfect balance between organization and flow, there's a lot of arrangement and rehearsal but at the same time they're really jamming!

That voice could Take You To CHURCH!

When Mariah sings, she will truly bring you to a heaven feels! She will uplift your spirit! She's the only singer that always made me feel like "I CAN SING" and "I WANT TO SING"

Songbird Supreme for a REASON🥳

You know it’s real when both Walter AND David were on the piano 🦋

David Cole and Walter Affanasieff at the piano what a performance Wow such energy . Mariah slaying. Amazing instrumental arrangement. This is pure music folks. Mariah Carey she's amazing

She had the best talent backing her on instruments and vocals. Damn where is the talent these days???

mariah's voice is so unique and so beautiful only few people would dare to sing her songs

She started this singing shit! Y’all should be thankful for such an inspiration!

Is that Kelly Price in the background???!!!!

Hey man im 17 and sometimes I wish i grew up during the 80s and 90s. Just much more better, groovy music that you can just jam to🤩

No one gonna mention that, beyond all the obvious talent, this woman rocks a pair of denims like few others?

Without autotune giving this performance! Mariah Carey was such a great singer.

Any song from that period Mariah is better than anything by anyone in the last 15-20 years.

I wish she sang "You're so cold" live. Killed it, Mimi!

Oh. Today I've noticed that there were 2 people playing the same piano at the same time

This is so 90’s

MTV unplugged proved Mariah was way better live then on her albums! Still listening 2023 ❤

Thank you to the beautifully wonderful sensationally amazing Mariah 💕🌟✨💫🌟✨💫🌟✨💫🌟🍃☘️🕊️🎶😍🤩 Striking work for me to do it for you and family 🎼🙏🏻🎧🎶💯✝️❤️🌹🌺💕🌈❣️

This is litterally the BEST live performance Ive seen in my life🙃 This is real music and rythm

The arrangement in this performance is superb 😍 I could listen to the piano part on its own all day, and of course Mariah’s magical voice

This entire concert is brilliant. It was all about the music.

Not more than three short years ago I was abandoned and alone Without a penny to my name So very young and so afraid No proper shoes upon my feet Sometimes I couldn't even eat I often cried myself to sleep But still I had to keep on going Never knowing if I could take it If I would make it through the night I held on to my faith I struggled and I prayed And now I've found my way If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen (Make it happen) And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen (Make it happen) You're gonna make it happen, oh yeah I know life can be so tough And you feel like giving up But you must be strong Baby just hold on You'll never find the answers if you throw your life away I used to feel the way you do Still I have to keep going Never knowing if I could take it If I would make it through the night I held on to my faith I struggled and I prayed And now I've finally found my way If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen (I know, you gonna make it happen) And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen (He's gonna make it happen) If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen (make it happen) And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen Make it happen Make it happen, oh yeah Make it, you're gonna make it, make it I held on to my faith I struggled and I prayed And finally found a way If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen Make it happen If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen Make it happen I once was lost But now I'm found I got my feet on solid ground Thank you Lord If you believe within your soul Just hold on tight And don't let go You can make it, make it happen Yeah, you can make it, make it happen You're gonna make it, you gonna make it, you gonna make it If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen Make it happen

This is when music was created and not manufactured.

Amazing no computer engineered beats but a whole band and everyone in sync playing instruments and creating great sound. I love how authentic this is and it sounds so much better than the engineered crap!

Rest In Peace David Cole, Mr Piano man, I remember as kid saying that he's like a cartoon coz he was impossible on the keyboard

I love how much fun every single person on that stage seems to be having. That’s good music for ya.

Ms. Carey, don't FORGET THESE ROOTS!!!!!! This is where it ALL BEGAN.

This arrangement sounds like a Stevie wonder song. Excellent!

Manager: How many pianist you need? Mariah:YES ✨

Still on my Mariah high after seeing her Christmas concert 2 days ago.. nice to see Kelly Price singing on backup in this video ❤

The Duo playing the piano is having more fun than MC!!

I will never get tired of watching this.

The piano man was really feeling it

She Sure made the unimaginable happen..... yearly #1 Holiday song... who would have ever thought her career now solidifies to decades now to come....

You're gonna make it!

Mariah Carey's music is the inspiration we need in the world today! Make It Happen is such a powerful song. No matter how many times I hear this song or see her performing it I'm blown away! ❤👑
