Literally everything malfunctioned that night except her voice . QUEEN

There's a huge drama behind this performance. Mariah opened the show that night and she got caught in traffic jam. Her dress wasn't ready, so behind that crystal ball, she get her dress sewn. While she performed, her earpiece did not work, so she removed it and struggled to deliver it without voice monitor. That's why after she performed, she took a deep breathe and said: "We made it!!"

She always nail the bridge part of her songs. !!!

Mannnnn when Mariah start waving that hand up and down pointing and shit you know she about to hit that note 🏆🏆🏆

The ear piece wasn't working and she still slayed.

The true artistry popped out at around 2:10 and I felt so proud for her… 100% live, beautiful real artist at its finest ❤️‍🔥🙌🏽

I believe most her live performances in 2005 were being sabotage, but she always come out the winner

She was singing under pressure…….and she delivered one of her best performances ever……

That ending saved her life lol - she nailed it

The way she didn't even take a breath before that long note is crazyyyyy 🔥🦋

this song to this day is so underrated , i love it so much

Running late, dress broken, singing without being able to hear herself thru the earpiece. Still smiling. I Stan.

I LITERALLY CRIED AFTER WATCHING THIS AGAIN AFTER SO MANY YEARS. THE AUDIENCE LOVED HER SO MUCH AND WAS SO HAPPY SHE PERFORMED IN FRONT OF THEM LIVE!

WOW!!! She is incredible. She still shines so much despite the malfunction of her earpiece monitor.

This is not lipped... Listen to her breathing for christ's sake. NOTHING and NO ONE is better than Mariah when she concentrates on hitting all the right notes.. She is fucking amazing.

To that thing that said she was drunk. She had a wardrobe malfunction the slit had went up to high any wrong movement and it would have fell right off on top of that the sound issues. She couldn't hear herself with the feedback so she basically fress styled the entire performance.

This era was a fever dream

The entire audience knew that one hell of an artist performed in front of them that. Congratulations Mariah Carey you deserve to be called a living legend and your 17th #1 single is one hell of a difficult song to perform. Mid tempo, fast phrasing, complex wording, sustained belting and not to mention that it went through 3 different octaves. Thats more vocal range than most artists nowadays. Stand ovation to The Queen Miss Mariah Carey

That ending yasss!!!

Fuck all ! those who do not appreciate your talent Mariah.

A standing ovation…….from her peers…….she saaaaaaaang……….she didn’t have time to be too nervous she was on fire 🔥

*Actually her in ear monitor had a problem so she rely on the audio from the speakers live but still she did great omfg legend tingz*

Wow! She really *nailed* that ending! This just goes to show that Mariah is a *true,* *true* legend!

It’s live ! You can hear at the end when she’s belting , u can hear how her nodules affect her belting, there’s slight whistles coming out from all the air she belting out.

When she is in the climax and sings "I'm just SPeaking from experience" in the "SP" you can hear the air coming out of her mouth strongly and hitting the mic. Also at the end of the sustained she changes pitch and starts moving the mic further apart and adds vibratto then the sound is lower because she pulled the mic away from her mouth. I hate when people always say she lip synchs just because she nails a performance. We are talking about Mariah Carey here, considered one of the most accomplished vocalists in the music industry ever so it shouldn't shock she is that good on stage

Her voice is so incredible that ppl can’t tell the live from lip 😊 that’s my girl!!

It was not lipped . Every performances in a prestigious awards night should be performed live . Have you seen people's reaction ? :)

I think she did really good for her earpiece not working at all and one wrong move and that dress would reveal it all

Killed the Bridge, Killed the Whistle-tone.. 100% live. suck it haters.

Maravilhoso momento não me canso de assistir várias vezes 😍😍😍😍

This solidifies why there will never be another Mariah Carey

Even given the drama that happened with her dress and almost being late for this performance, I must say, this is probably the most COMFORTABLE she's EVER been on stage. EVER. She's MOVING AROUND and while concentrating to sing, I can tell she's not caring about every note. Seriously. Think about it. Prior to 2005 and post. She is RELAXED.

One of the best singers ever to exist from this planet...love you MIMI

Haters always says shes lipping because she have Angelic voice that gift from God,that kills all the haters lol😁.Sorry haters👹😜

Funny thing about the lipsyncing accusations is that Mariah took off her ear piece so when would she have known that the backtrack kicked in? Just enjoy that damn performance it was free it's not like you paid to watch her in a concert and she lipped...

A lot of artist wouldn’t be able to still have a smile on their face with all that mess going on behind stage .. bravo Mimi we love you

The mother ate and left no crumbs. A real legend

Everything she does is perfect

I love this song, she always gives great performances at the American Music Awards!!!

Esta mujer es simplemente un monstruo vocal! Bien merecida su ovación de pie. En solo esta canción recorrió 3 1/2 octavas

Booooom bloody hell this song!! Raw 🇬🇧🇬🇧 beautiful.. the dress alone!

her struggle in this performance and it went smoothly like how???? i love her so so so muchhhhh

Divine Queen 👸🏼

Great performance live Top credit to background vocals superb

MC is gping back to AMA this October 2018. Yeyyyy

not me sobbing to this song 10 years later 😢❤

She makes big comeback that year. The audience applaud her yasss

this performance is priceless, i dont get tired of listening to it. that final "US!" is mind-blowing!

Weekly Dose of this LEGENDARY Performance Vid and gets me ALL the time for “WE MADE IT”❤😂

Pure magic!That's what I see&hear!

This song sounds easy to sing but when Mariah Carey sings it, it becomes one of her hardest songs to sing. She's struggling coz it's hard.

She is very very beautiful

That belting quality tho JESUS SHES good ! And the 90s like vibrato at the end of the note😍

Most people LOVE her

ALL LIVE!! You can hear the flaws well.

I love this era so much

That note at the end was prob the best of all time for me.

This is probably my favorite Mariah performance.

that fall save and that last closing note with the hands makes this so nostalgic to me.

I hereby decret this is live.

Iconic moment!!!❤ just beautiful

You can tell the sustained bet is live because as soon as she moves the mic the sound changes immediately.

One word: Amazing! Watching in 2021 (01/01/21) this is a happy new year now lol

Don't forget about us Don't, baby, don't, baby, don't let it go No, baby, no, baby, no, baby, no (Don't forget about us) Don't, baby, don't, baby, don't let it go My baby boy (Y'all know what this is, haha) Just let it die with no goodbyes Details don't matter, we both paid the price Tears in my eyes You know sometimes it'd be like that, baby, yeah Now every time I see you I pretend I'm fine When I wanna reach out to you But I turn and I walk and I let it ride Baby, I must confess We were bigger than anything Remember us at our best And don't forget about Late nights, playin' in the dark And wakin' up inside my arms Boy, you'll always be in my heart and I can see it in your eyes, you still want it So don't forget about us I'm just speaking from experience Nothing can compare to your first true love So I hope this will remind you When it's for real, it's forever So don't forget about us Oh, they say that you're in a new relationship But we both know, nothing comes close to What we had, it perseveres That we both can't forget it How good we used to get it There's only one me and you And how we used to shine (We used to shine) No matter what you go through We are one, that's a fact That you can't deny So, baby, we just can't let The fire pass us by Forever we'd both regret So don't forget about Late nights, playin' in the dark And wakin' up inside my arms Boy, you'll always be in my heart and I can see it in your eyes, you still want it So don't forget about us I'm just speaking from experience Nothing can compare to your first true love So I hope this will remind you When it's for real, it's forever So don't forget about us And if she's got your head all messed up now That's the trickery So why you act like you don't know how this lovin' used to be? I bet she can't do like me, she'll never be MC Baby, don't you, don't you forget about us Late nights, playin' in the dark And wakin' up inside my arms Boy, you'll always be in my heart and I can see it in your eyes, you still want it So don't forget about us I'm just speaking from experience Nothing can compare to your first true love So I hope this will remind you When it's for real, it's forever So don't forget about us Late nights, playin' in the dark And wakin' up inside my arms Boy, you'll always be in my heart and I can see it in your eyes, you still want it So don't forget about us I'm just speaking from experience Nothing can compare to your first true love So I hope this will remind you When it's for real, it's forever So don't forget about us Don't, baby, don't, baby, don't let it go No, baby, no, baby, no, baby no (Don't forget about us) Don't, baby, don't, baby, don't let it go When it's for real, it's forever So don't forget about us

She has proven everything. She does not need ear monitors to sing but at NYE years laters it was cold and very loud. She heard nothing at NYE. She would have never known if she would be right!

Insane ❤😊❤ My Queen. She is the new Queen of Pop ❤

Love her!!

muitooo boa essa ...

Minhonaria do bom repetorio ea bela voz

"we made it"💔💔

H MY GOODNESS!

Live! That rawrrr at the end is connected to the mic. To anybody saying this is lipped, like, how come it all connected from the way she sing and move.

Her voice didn't sound strong here. But what were people expecting a 1990-1995 Mariah Carey? I hope not. Whose voice really stays the same? Aretha, Whitney, Mariah and Celine Dion all sound different from what they sounded like when they started. Maybe some of the damage done was self inflicted but age is a man factor I think. All the ladies I mentioned can still/could outsing many of the young talent in the industry today. This was a good performance because she showed what her voice was still amazing.

finally a song that admits she had them done

100% live

Someone who has listened to the studio version thousands of times, most of the performance was live. The pitch is different in some areas.
