Love Takes Time is underrated, it’s a great melody and chorus.

[originaldeftom]

Unbelievable! She obviously had a cold and was even clearing her throat in the first minute by clearly steering away from the mic. She was already world class before she even conquered the world and became a household name. What a brilliant performer!!

[bubucina]

The audience didn't seem to understand what was happening in front of them. History was being written.

[bryceaaron]

I'm 46 years old and still so clearly remember hearing Vision of Love at age 12, it's no understatement to say that song, that album, and her music completely influenced my life. Her performances from those early years will always be my favorite!

[DJ-wiyk]

When singers could actually sing. No auto tune. No pitch correction. Just a band and raw fucking talent! I felt she didnt fully trust herself to hit some of those notes but she got a whistle in and some lovely vocal runs. What a stellar performance.

[damelalana]

Mariah’s vocal prowess in her prime was incendiary. Thank you Brenda K Starr for opening the door. Xx

[beignet]

Phenomenal! The audience was stunned when she hit her high notes. You can see they all stood still. Beyond flawless.

[tylermills]

I love her tonal quality in this performance, especially in her 'whisper' voice. Her switches and transitions between breathy voice and chest voice are unlike anything I've ever heard.

[billiswilling]

She said "fvck it, no matter the cold, no matter the crazy lady in the crowd screaming at me, im gonna blow them away", and she did!! shes the best!!

[mickrobbo]

Just incredible! Loved being around when she first hit the music scene! It was so exciting, I felt like I was cheating on Whitney those days loving Mariah so much!!

[sampagan]

The clarity in her voice on..."Trying to believe"....@:38 is beautiful.

[brechtduchau]

The whistle at the climax gives me chills everytime I hear this song

[markgoring]

Live vocal brilliance...and let's state that the Countdown YouTube account is the most brilliant ever-growing online archive of such brilliant performances many of us never saw at the time due to our locations!

[peachyclean]

So crisp and clear this is the Mariah Carey I love ❤️

[iamraneal]

That whistle note is crazyy fastttt.. The way she accurately hit tbe whistle is just insane

[alvinmedina]

brilliant. when she has a cold the whistle is even better . amazing how her voice works

[brydcsd]

no cold and flu could defy "the" Mariah Carey. ❤

[brett]

I just love the small rifts on ‘time’ that she did regularly during Music Box. Mariah is a genius.

[LaCheleWallace]

This is pretty, Auntie Riah. You did a nice job. The kids of today could never just sit and enjoy a ballad. Glad that I grew up when I did 'cause whew!

[mrsheatherteske]

I remember crying to this song when my elementary crush didn't like me back.❤ Such. A great song to stumble upon in the world of YouTube!
