And at 3:12, when she sings "who's going to talk to me till the sun comes up", there's a slight transition from chest voice to falsetto when she trails off "up"; it's sounds so natural and yet it is actually so controlled (I've seen her sing it the same way in other live performances), what an amazing juxtaposition.
14 weeks at #1… the longest running song by a SOLO ARTIST IN HISTORY! No collabs, no 30 remixes, no payola… PURE TALENT AND SALES AND AIRPLAY! QUEEN! 🐐
Tyler Mills Utter lies; the "please" is in falsetto as well but it sounds different plus on Ellen she also transitions to falsetto with "When you left I lost a part of *me"* unlike here. No one forced you here; so leave with your fallacious lip-syncing claims!
Still sends chills up my spine every time I watch this video. I think every man would have been on cloud nine to have been her hubby or boyfriend back then.just imagine her uttering those words " baby please" at you.
She's the only one who can deliver a studio version live on stage EVERYTIME. I can't count how many times I got disapointed listening to artist sing a song that I loved live, and not hiting the spot. Mariah's so not the case. Legend.
lmaoooo at you thinking this was live. She moves her mic around during the song and the volume never changes while she does it. Its ok to admit she is lip syncing. Its not that serious....
So was it playback or not, I saw people arguing both?! First I was like no way its without playbay, but I thought its not quite like in studio but not 80% so I was like damn if this is raw: incredible Looking forward to quality answers
So, on a cold and sunny afternoon, I was home early from my classes. I turned on the tv and Oprah is on. For a few seconds, I contemplated flipping through channels until Oprah introduced Mariah Carey. Now, I never really was a fan of Mariah Carey until she did this....an absolutely stunning and orgasmic display of vocals here. My initial reaction was: Holy Sh-t! I was literally blown away and jumped off my chair during the last 40-45 seconds of her performance...the palpable forcefulness, vigor, emotion, and energy exuded by her totally mesmerized me. Today, I am still taking a trip down this memory lane and wondering with envy who is the incredibly luck man whom she sings to at home.
She wrote this song to be so tailor made for her voice that I’ve never heard anyone sound right doing it. And don’t get me wrong-i love good covers and have loved many random covers of other Mariah songs over the years, but this one is oddly untouchable. I’ve seen vids of people doing their thing and matching it note for note, but something about the lyrical phrasing always makes them sound more constricted and nasal than Mariah even in more recent years. But sweet Jesus in 2005-2006, even on a raspier night, those E5s felt like they were bursting from the depths of her despair. And it really makes the difference between the song sounding almost whiny vs Mariah sounding like a literal force of nature almost demanding that her lost love return to restore the void left after his loss. Tbh, even though the lyrics fit a lost love/breakup storyline better-I’ve always felt like Mariah’s delivery on both the artistic and technical side conjures raw widow grief. Like softly expressing the loss and regret for getting caught up on small things and lashing out by telling her man she didn’t love him anymore, but then having to live with the burden of those being her last words. Building up to such desperation to take it back and have just a little more time that it’s almost like she’s trying to resurrect him, the anguish is so intense.
So well said, and basically all of her songs are tailor made for her because usually covers of her songs are not so good, with we belong together especially the climax, her voice soars, its beautiful, high notes are pleasant and open, she projects in such a resonant way that it sounds majestic, people tend to sound reallllly really metallic and almost like screaming, because its a long climax and she can handle it beautifully, people usually get exhausted and is 99% not pleasant
I love to see Mariah go crazy whenever she sings the end of this song! It always cracks me up because you would act like a crazy woman if you’re in love and you’re trying to get your man back. She’s staying true to the lyrics and emotion of the song. It’s awesome. I’ve seen her sing it without going nuts and it’s not as good. I like the hand movements, hair flipping crazy girl vibes! 👏🌸
Anyone who thinks she's lip synching watch MTV Mariah Unplugged, her old stuff. Now there's no way those riffs and ad libs are all pre-recorded. This woman can sing unimaginably. No other pop star comes close.
THE BEST VOICE OF ALL TIME IN THE HISTORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... PHENOMENOM VOCAL MARIAH. QUEEN OF MUSIC MARIAH , YOU ARE INSPIRATIONS, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.. YOU ARE, EXQUISTE, DIVINE, ELEGAAAANT, CLASSIC, LEGENDARY, PERFECT EVERTHING U R EVERYTHING! #1
2:06 This is all I picture whenever I hear this part of the song. Lmao like what is Oprah girl doing with her hands and what song is she singing cuz it sure as hell ain't this one.
Yeah she did that and she knew it! She had smile her face even before the song wrapped. Well done Mariah! Wow. Her voice is astonishing! I don't care how many times you hear her sing it just seems almost unreal to hear someone with them kind of pipes.
I truly think this is live. There was absolutely NO change in sound or tone or volume when she went into the climax and she was a little throaty and backed up on some lines but overall amazing
The lip syncing starts at 2:53 at the Baaaay-bee part. Her voice magically sounds rejuvenated and even the audience takes notice which is why they erupt in applause because before that moment the vocals were a bit struggly.
@@dashhill443 I’ll reply to your same comment again here too. Have you not thought about the fact she can adjust the volume of her VOICE? Also In the climax you can here the grittiness In her voice. That’s not In the studio version. I think you need to educate your musical understanding & do some homework 🥴
@@GreenBananaz yes! Thanks for fighting back for our queen! I don't know about these people who consider themselves as lamb and still doubted Mariah's vocals!
2024 here. I saw her twice a couple years ago. She was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I've been crying all weekend. I've been confined to a wheelchair since February and I feel like my life is ending. Please Pray for y'all ❤
I don't have words strong enough to express my admiration so beautiful it is... Only Mariah can make such notes... It is sublime and thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this video. I am a singer and it is a pure joy to listen to her often...
I didn't mean it When I said I didn't love you, so I should have held on tight I never shoulda let you go I didn't know nothing I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I could not fathom that I would ever Be without your love Never imagined I'd be Sitting here beside myself 'Cause I didn't know you 'Cause I didn't know me But I thought I knew everything I never felt The feeling that I'm feeling Now that I don't hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'Cause I don't have a choice Oh, what I wouldn't give To have you lying by my side Right here, cause baby (We belong together) When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who else am I gon' lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh, baby baby, we belong together I can't sleep at night When you are on my mind Bobby Womack's on the radio Saying to me "If you think you're lonely now" Wait a minute This is too deep (too deep) I gotta change the station So I turn the dial Trying to catch a break And then I hear Babyface I only think of you And it's breaking my heart I'm trying to keep it together But I'm falling apart I'm feeling all out of my element I'm throwing things, crying Trying to figure out Where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected in this song It ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside I need you Need you back in my life, baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who else am I gon' lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who am I gonna lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby, baby We belong together
Its crazy to think that only 13 years before this she was performing Vision of Love and If Its Over on the show. How much she had changed in that time!
For all the naysayers, this is proof that this girl can really nail it! Although all the bullshit that has been said about her, come on!, this girl sang!
This song brought my partner and me together after a terrible break up I heard it and I ran back to her arms thank you for that Mariah. Unfortunately we did not grow old together we still had that time together ❤
I know she has more powerful performances and songs but I still think this is my favorite vocal performance live. That last note she sustains is so beautiful and she's has so much feeling and charisma throughout the performance. When shes whipping her blonde hair around singing at full force its pretty amazing haha.
I have no idea how Oprah didn’t know the lyrics to this song. We belong together was on the top of the radio charts for the entire summer of 2005. You literally couldn’t escape this song back then
This is the most PERFECT regret love song of ALL TIME in the entire UNIVERSE! Nineteen years later (2024) & I can still picture the video & it still breaks me up. 💔
Ultimate Singer of this Song.. MARIAH OWNS WE BELONG TOGETHER!!. BONDS FAMILIES for DECADES!! DEDICATED To LITTLE ADRIAN n US. Whst the WORLD Needs More is LOVE n FAITH n BELIEVING!!!
