Words cannot describe the technical genius of Mariah Carey. I can't help but replay this performance over and over because it is just that good! Today we're watching Mariah Carey sing Emotions LIVE on MTV Unplugged.

She is a Masterclass in singing and songwriting: universities that teaches about music - must include her in their curriculum to be studied. Tone, pitch, range etc just pure class

[ClassicTVManX]

Mariah's range was mind-blowing at the time, especially the rare high E (E7) on the original studio recording of this track.

Also the band is „fire“, the pianist, the bass, the BGB choir! And I love her „flying hands“ with which she paints her runs into the air!

[RelUnrelated]

I remember hearing *Vision of Love* for the first time back in 1990 and just being completely enthralled. Thanks for sharing your analysis of more wonderful voices!

[josephstude]

*laughs at the fangirling* Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for the reaction and have a great weekend.

[trentt]

Sometimes I have to remind myself she’s human and then I’m even more mind blown cause SHE IS JUST INCREDIBLE!

Thanks for the reaction and teaching about the voice and singing!

Mariah is one of those rare vocalists like Whitney Houston that come along rarely. So powerful and versatile .

[FermiBubbleGummyBear]

Completely agree with you and share the same thoughts about Mariah's intuitive use of her instrument. The fact that she veered from from traditional vocal training and learned how to sing with nodules always led me to believe that she has this incredible intuition with controlling her vocal cords, larynx, etc all to such a degree that she's entirely gotten 100% out of what she could possibly do.

It's evidenced by her ability to control the texture/color of her voice throughout her entire range, her unparalleled ability to phonate in whistle register, and just the crazy idea that she has vibrato in whistle register and can change the breathiness of the whistle tone.

It's come at a cost, obviously, but I don't hate on a woman who's stretched her talent to share her gifts and her music. She's already given so much and I'm just here to support her for being the soundtrack to my life.

My favorite thing about Mariah which to her was both a blessing and a curse is her perfectionism, one of the greatest vocalists EVER wasn't satisfied during her prime until her live performances were either as good as the recordings or better, and yes she definitely proved herself with this concert, this MTV unplugged album was one of the series best sellers and one of her classics. I agree with you she is a Diva in the best possible way, loved your reaction 💖

[alexandresousa]

Omg, this was a great reaction, I love your enthusiasm! Please please more mariah carey

"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.

One of my most favorite performances by anyone ever is the time Mariah sang "If It's Over" on Saturday Night Live in
It threatens to drag my soul from my body every time I see it!
When she finished, the look on her face was priceless. She killed it and she knew
She is an amazing woman without a doubt!

The greatest vocalist to ever pick up a mic 🎤🎶 Her voice is just magic. Can you react to Mariah’s “Without You” live @ Tokyo Dome! They’re legendary performances 💯🔥

[Lightning]

I'm a Metal guy, but I freaked out when I first heard "Vision of Love".

[philipkudrna]

Thanks for this. Undoubtedly one of the great moments in music history, similar to Pavarotti‘s nessun dorma at the three tenors, Whitney‘s „I have nothing“ at the 92 Billboard Awards or David Gilmore‘s second Solo in Comfortably Numb during the Pulse Tour!

[jamiewagner]

My parents bought me this concert on cassette back in the day! So fun to hear this track again!

[Scott-yy]

Omg I enjoyed your commentary!! You should react to her performance of Vision Of Love at BET in 2005. Its amazing!! And 15 years after its debut! The way she changes up that song everytime is CRAZY!

[speccwolf]

Never really like her songs, but mother of God the woman can sing.

[bryanjensen]

100% accurate. People thought she couldn't sing live like she did on her albums and the unplugged performance blew all the naysayers out of the water. Watched it live and ran out and bought the album.

[aspect]

Her range is fucking crazy... and on demand too. So talented, gifted whatever. She can fucking sang.
