[mikejustin]

I was there !!! I cant believe shes truly coming out from the door !!! Her voice is so angelic I swear !!! She is pretty at close !!!!

[msJessyFrance]

2:31 the blond woman with closed eyes! Priceless facial expression! a few seconds later when she realizes MC is there!

[BeastBwood]

"Am I dying? Are we dead?" Best quote ever.

[CyprusHot]

Only the fans and lambs truly understand what Mariah has given to music.
. Amazing.

[MIKEKNT]

She ages like fine wine, only gets better

[bposedny]

don't understand why people hate on Mariah, i think is beyond jealousy.

[asekun]

I'm crying right now. I really can't take all the hate for mariah right now. they all forgot how good mariah is as a singer and as a person. I still love you mariah no matter what! #L4L

[ambrosialsongbird]

I love how she sounds better singing it live here than the studio version. <3 Not to mention that heavenly improv session.

[CalexanderJ]

Best parts
0:46 Jimmy trying not to crack up
1:36 "Am I dying?"  LMAO
2:33 Girl grooving with her eyes closed not realizing Mariah's in the room
2:34 thinks her bf is just feeling the song
2:37 finally realizes it.  

[minagergesable]

This made me cry, did this make anyone else cry? 

[whirlaway]

I wish I had've been there. I love her. She's the only celebrity I'd wanna meet. She seems like such a hoot to hangout with.

[broccoli]

Mariah doesn't need to proof anything more. Now what she's focusing is her connection with the Lambily. She makes music for them, on tour to meet them. I just hope I'm one of them in there. She's just far more than perfect. Way beyond descriptions. 

[shnitzellink]

unlike so many other singers, she sounds just as good live as she does in the recordings!

[niltashever]

Every line in this song is as deep as an entire paragraph. The more I listen the more other aspects of me connect to the song. Only Mariah Carey can be able narrate the entire art of letting go in one song. So good.

[reiAYANAMI]

I just want to say that i´ve been a huge fan of Mariah Carey since i was a baby! My older sister used to sing songs to me of Mariah. And everytime i used to feel sad, i listen to one of her songs and i became happy again. Now keep in mind that if this would have happened to me i probably would have either pee my pants, cry like a baby, faint, or scream so loud till my throat hurts. I love Mariah so

[RafaMedinadaydream]

Cried a river watching that haha  I mean, her songs really inspired me and helped get me through difficult times.If was there I'd probably faint.

[Kessie]

I never even considered myself a Mariah fan, but I was crying watching the pure joy on the faces of the superfans. What an awesome idea. Thanks Jimmy and Mariah.

[trybeeMUSIC]

aint it crazy how at the time this was to nick and NOBODY knew?!!?!?!? it gives me the chills. mimi was hurting & NOBODY knew. accept me. i swear i told me friend "omfg i think this is to nick imagine?!" & she was like fuck no yeah right.. & come to find out this is when they were going through their initial separation. mariah is a woman who SPEAKS, lives, grieves, & prays through her music. she's gifted from our heavenly father. she's untouchable,

[baileykurlov]

i was crying of jealousy... i love mariah.

[sentfromupabove]

So jealous of the fans. DAMN her She did THAT RIFF @ 2:20 and did that sustained C#5 at 2:53! Then belted Eb5s onwards 3:27 faaallin..sounds better than the studio falsetto note :)
