The greatest vocalist of all time

In her book she explained that up until this concert she had no idea she was famous because of how sheltered she was by Tommy she didn’t realise the crowd outside the theatre was all for her so that’s prob why she seems nervous

she has a soft and rich voice-easy to listen to then launches into high notes that take you by surprise-stunning video- good reaction-would like to hear your version of this maggie-stay safe-continued success-with you always

You’re right about the nerves. But just for context, prior to this performance, the world hasn’t heard this song yet as it still wasn’t released during that time. This is the very first time she performed this and i can imagine that she really wanted to make it perfect and was focusing on hitting the notes rather than just being in the moment. You should watch Hero live in Tokyo Dome. She is much more relaxed there and was just having fun with the song. Greatest live performance of this song too in my opinion :)

Mariah had it even when young, even live. Very nice reaction and analysis. 🦸🏻‍♀

She was 23 here. Mariah shouldn't be classified as a soprano, she says she is more of an alto and is perceptible in her speaking voice. She can't be put in the Fach system for several reason: She is not being characterized for a choir in order to know where to place her. 2. Like I said before her speaking voice is really low. 3. Her vocal agility is present and proficient enough in every register she uses starting from her low chest voice all the into her whistle. 4. Her stamina and breath control is homogeneous through her range. 5. She can out do the range both low and high of a soprano, Mezzo and even alto her live range is F2 al the way to Bb7. 6 she has a mic and uses it accordingly for texture changes, capture different harmonics and inflections. So casing her in the Fach system undermines her insane ability to use her voice. "All hail and bow to Mariah Carey, The Queen of Divas, Protector of the vocal skills from the realm, Archiduchess of Vocal range/registers, Empress of agility, The unmatched, The Mellisma mother, The Goddess of Songwriting and producing, The one often imitated, but never duplicated, The embodiment of pure success",. My simpleton ears are not worthy of your talent but a simple sung phrase will be enough to heal me for all eternity.

Mariahs mother is Juilliard trained like you.

This is the first time Mariah performed for her actual fans! 3 years into her career, I can imagine there would be a TON of nerves here lol.

Yes this song was written specifically for Mariah’s voice. BY MARIAH. As were 18/19 of her number one hits. Excluding "I’ll Be There," written for the Jackson 5 by a team of writers.

Mariah in her audiobook said up until this concert at 1993 proctors theaters show didn’t know how famous she was. Explains the wondering eyes🤣❤️

Her voice is on another level 💯❤️ Great reaction 😊 Can you please react to Mariah’s “Without You” live @ Tokyo Dome

This song wasn't written for Mariah, she actually wrote it with Walter Afanasieff but she wasn't fond of the song and was going to give it to Gloria Estefan to sing it for the soundtrack of a film called "Hero" but Tommy told her to keep it. And after Tommy convinced her to keep it, she changed some of the lyrics to fit her personality. Don't forget Mariah is a highly prolific songwriter and has written 18 out of her 19 #1 Hot 100 singles. The most of any female artist. And I believe Mariah was connected to the song but that's just my opinion. But great reaction, please react to Mariah reflections live at home for the holidays. ❤

Funny. I have watched this performance over 100 times. It's my favorite version of this song by her. Flawless and effortless from start to finish. She looked perfect and this is the prettiest she ever was. And zero nerves. I see no nervousness at all. Zippo

Always like your reactions. Great to hear from a performeres point of view. It is very possible that she was nervous, because she does get much more nervous at things that are televised like award shows. If I'm not mistaken, this was a televised special. She is a lot more comfortable in her concerts with her fans. The live of this at Tokyo dome, I think, is one that you should look at.

Had a major crush on Mariah at this age

Thanks for reacting to the Queen❤

No way in hell somebody would not heard this most famous song...

That is just her body language when she performs. Is now, and always has been.

Can you check out her singing Vision of love live in Tokyo dome in 1996 next please...thanks..🎉

She is the composer of her song haha

Maggie you should watch Angelina Jordan's rendition of this from her concert in Vegas last month.she puts the SOUL in it unfortunately it was recorded on a cellphone but its still very impressive. !!!

Very true. You're observation about her singing....

This was first time she sing this live. Look later performances for more " in the song" type of performances of this song. 😏

mariah writes her own music hero was written by her and Walter

Her eyes moving up was because there were audience members up there too.

I just wanted to comment that indeed she was nervous at the beginning. But slowly she started connecting with the emotions of the song. Beautiful one by the way. It reminds me of my hero GOD !😊

Mariah wrote this song for Gloria Estefan but then she decided to keep it.

When she wrote this song, it was meant for someone else to sing. But she was advised to keep it for herself.

Beautiful song...and reaction. And reactor...

Yes, she is as young here as I was young at the same time. And for me, apart from the fact that she was the sex symbol of those years, she will also always remain a symbol of a "great voice". Beautiful vocal!! ❤ I will add that, in my opinion, Mariah put the brake on her own vocal abilities here. 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting as she grows into a comfort zone as the song progresses

Suprema premum sublime magica

Pretty sure she songwrote this one too

I disagree, I feel like she was quite connected to the song. Either way, I think if you just listen to it, you can feel the emotion in the voice so that's the main thing.

Nice reaction! Whintey Houston reaction please.❤

Mariah I love you 😍 ❤

I prefer her Madison Square Garden version with that amazing choir (in 1995, if my memory serves well). The Tokyo Dome one in 1997 follows. Her voice is always agile as being nothing to her! Those upward & downward melismata are so artistry.

Her mother was a trained opera singer and she trained her daughter. Mariah is amazing

Plz react to Almira Lat singing He Knows on there wedding original song by Almira plz don't miss it thank you

👍❤️❤️

No disrespect of you at all but Mariah wrote this song so clearly feels it even if she doesn’t pretend to visually. This concert launched a career to where she’s now worth $350 million. There aren’t many singers that can even come close to her, I can on,y think of a few, so your standards might be a little unrealistic.

And Subscriaaaaaaassssbe,i love this❤❤❤

stu

Fans trashed her early on (and thereafter), whereas Whitney's fans destroyed her more toward the middle of her career. Fan's feel they OWN singers, but fans are their most insidious evil for a career. You can never please them, so just be an artist and follow your own muse!

Written for Derek Jeter

Mariah wrote that song its not written for her

Not a fan of Mariah Carey at all, this is one of the few songs with her that I like, but I have to just say that the hand gestures is her thing. She always does them even now.

Isn't she supposed to have a 3-octave range.

Mariah is a great singer but in my humble opinion she never really had any stage presence

The greatest vocalist of all time
