What's YOUR favorite Mariah performance? Let us know below, and be sure to also check out our video of the Songs You Didn't Know Were Written by Mariah Carey - ua-cam.com/video/PU9H6TeKx68/v-deo.html
The agility and technique in that performance was through the roof! She was unhappy with it but it was lovely and showed you don't have to have huge belts and a super powerful voice to sing a Patti song.
People really do be forgetting that she has paved the way for many and even help some of us in our personal lives. Now matter how many mishaps she has/had, this woman doesn’t need to prove or reinvent herself and name. We’re always holding her to another degree and quick to call her out. We just need to appreciate her before it’s way too late
We need to stop and ask ourselves why we tear legitimate singer's down when they're struggling and only after they're dead realize how truly great they were! Mariah Carey has broken every damn record in the industry before she was 30! And she writes her own dam stuff if not most! It's not her fault that the most powerful man in the industry on purpose sabotaged anything regarding her efforts because she wanted to spread her wings and fly away from him! Let me clear he showed her a door, but she's the one who had to walk through it, Mariah Carey made herself!
If It's Over in the Grammys was perhaps her most "perfect" performance on a technical perspective, but I feel that she has more overlooked performances where she has shown more emotional power. Her Butterfly and Rainbow era performances really showcased that. Her emotion, tone, and vocal modulations during that time was absolutely fantastic
I'll never understand how people give the grammy performance of If it's Over more credit than the MTV Unplugged one. The latter is definitely better, it was so perfect lol. When the incredible run matched up with the drums at the end, that was everything.
• If’s over live at the grammys (1992) • EMOTIONS live at snl (1991) • Anytime You need a friend tokyo dome (1996) • Joy to the world at St John The Divine (1994) To name a few. She’s untouchable
She literally is one of the icons we need and want to keep us smiling and happy coz like many icons she has songs that can relate to our lives and struggles that we go through so I'm giving mimi all her flowers 💐 that she deserves coz ppl like to slam her and say she don't sound the same I could care less if she's sounds like young mariah or the mariah today she can still sing a damn stadium down and I'd be cheering and loving her every moment
Wow...just wow...even with all the success she has had..somehow I feel that she is still so underrated. Her musicality is unreal. The way she can command a stage without any gimmicks, just talent and presence. She truly is in a league of her own.
The word underrated gets thrown around so often that is almost has no meaning. Underrated is a word that is not associated with Mariah, she never has been and never will be.
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Yeah, and with all of her works and contributions to today's generation of vocalists, producers, and songwriters, she's defintely underrated as she's usually degraded by ppl including u.
@@littlemissblackdress7587 thank u using that word on her is ridiculous when she sold soooo many albums has soooo many number ones ppl don't know wat that word really means!!
Mariah's competition is only herself, she can only be compared to her old self.. The Mariah Carey of the music industry.. After decades in business, she's still on top of the BILLBOARD HOT 100..such a legendary career from the songbird Supreme 🦋 🎤
She set the standard so high! Ppl must appreciate she cant always belt everyday of her life asp she’s in the game for 30+ yrs! ;) she sings the most intricate vocal arrangements more difficult that belting. And she writes, produces and sings background vocals of her songs. Well if you do that for 30 yrs who would not deserve some love and appreciation? love her. We need to give her a break and stop being hard on her.
@@nh2201 Not she didn't. Mariah rapped on her debut album and then started and continued to do Pop/Rap collabs from her 5th studio album Daydream to now. It really started getting popular Butterfly when she did Honey. Not to mention Jlo was working under Tommy and even Tommy didn't see the value in those collabs until Mariah.
@@montaija222 delusional. No one started doing pop rap collabs until jlo started doing them. Celine Whitney and Janet all did them way before Mariah lol.
My favs are as follows: 10. Underneath the Stars - Tokyo Dome 9. Through the Rain - Shining through the rain 8. The One - Shining Through The Rain 7. I Don’t wanna Cry - Tokyo Dome 6. You and I - Stevie Wonder Tribute 5. Thank God I Found You - June 2016 Vegas 🔥🔥 4. Mariah Surprises Fans(Jimmy Fallen Big Jim Wright) 3. With you I’m Born Again ❤ 2.

@@nh2201 not even joking, you literally have an illness like you should legit talk to somebody about it because being this obsessed with someone you don't like is really unhealthy. Seek help 🤡
I really wish her performance of If It’s Over from the Grammys made the list! That performance is literally vocal perfection! But still a lot of solid ones on this list! This lamb is happy 😊
Es muy dificil elegir una sola performance porque su voz es super especial, pero creo que mi favorita desde chica es MTV Unpplugged I´LL BE THERE... escucho a Mariah desde antes de entender algo de inglés!! gracias por sus TOP 10
Is not even about the vocal range or the whistle (which in on itself is amazing), it's her tone. So unique and familiar. And her technique ...This woman has nothing to prove. She has a catalogue that stands the test of time. Ever inspiring the new girls today. Always imitated, never duplicated.
I’m always down for Mariah Carey appreciation videos! Especially since some of her “fans” are her harshest critics. People seem to forget that she sees these comments and it does hurt her feelings. She’s human.
WAIT I realized they forgot Make it Happen live at MSG, that one is hands down my favorite performance (probably of all time). The way she outsings the whispery original, she engages the crowd (“i see you up there”) and she looks so happy and proud during the thing :’)
Evil people love to belittle you because they know that your talent, beauty and success is undeniable, you know that feeling of not liking to see someone else win in life? That's what they feel, y'all They need to give value while she is alive, Witney is already gone, we only have two divas left, Mariah and Celine, give value to these legends, especially Mariah, who did humanly impossible things for pleasure From our ears and the price she paid was the compromise of her voice, stop being ungrateful and be grateful for living in the same era as the most excellent voice in all aspects of all time.
My Top 10 List 1. Can't Take That Away From Me (Blockbuster Awards) 2. You and I (Bet honors) 3. Somewhere over the rainbow/If only you knew (Essence Awards) 4. If it's over (Grammys 1991) 5. Fly like a bird/We Belong Together (Grammys 2006) 6. Joy to the world (St. Divine Concert) 7. The One (Shining through the rain) 8. Forever (Madison Square Garden) 9. Anytime you need a friend remix (Tokyo Dome) 10. We Belong Together (Live 8)
I love Mariah's medley of We Belong Together - Fly Like A Bird but I know some parts aren't live. I wish the first spot was If It's Over or Somewhere Over The Rainbow though her medley is iconic and symbolic cuz of her comeback.
@@MsMojo Please do a Whitney Houston. Maybe Top 20 or 30 performances of all time. This woman is the best vocalist of all time with a lot of notable songs and stage presence.
Clearly nobody in Watch Mojo is a Lamb. If you are a true Lamb, you'd know that If It's Over at the Grammy 1992 is her best live performance of all time. Vision of Love at GMA 1990 also her best live rendition of her debut song. Emotions in 1992 Arsenio Hall is her best rendition of that song. The VMA one is just known for her having hit the highest live note in her career. But the runs and changes in register she did in Arsenio Hall were far smoother and cleaner. In the 2006 Grammy, she was pitchy and exhausted in her vocals throughout the first half, though she regained control by the climax of We Belong Together and Fly Like a Bird. But definitely not top 10 worth performance. When You Believe with Whitney never bested her studio version. Both Whitneh and Mariah were out of their vocal prime, and they sounded hoarse. Whitney clearly had holes in her head voice, and started riffing all her sustained notes, because she lacked the stamina, and Mariah tended to push her larynx when belting, sounding more raspy and strained than ever. Her vocal cords were not well lubricated. Some of her best live performances come from the Daydream tour she made. But not the televised ones, that had been dubbed. Also, the Christmas special in 2009, when she was pregnant with her twins, she reentered a new prime there. I would say her voice sounded more stable, fuller, and richer than the 1994 Christmas special, though definitely not as elastic.
We are not talking vocally, but the 2006 Grammys performance was amazing. It doesn't always have to be pitch perfect vocals to be an amazing performance.
@@mar-b5k2f But Mariah's performances are not known for her stage presence, visuals, or choreography. She is a vocalist first and foremost, and that's what makes Mariah's performances great. She is not a Beyonce, Michael Jackson type of performer.
I’m so shocked If It’s Over isn’t on this list! Whether it’s the Grammys performance, or the SNL, her delivery of that song live is simply phenomenal! Also, the tribute to Stevie Wonder where she sang “You & I” was so magical!
I was soo waiting for the “If it’s over” performance at the Grammys ! She had such a presence and untouchable speech, her voice was perfect and she brought so much emotion to the song❤
My most favorite performance of Mariah is when she and Whitney performed "When You Believe" (1998) (From "The Prince of Egypt") at the Oprah Winfrey Show because it gaves me goosebumps and the power of these two divas were everything. I remember when my mom used to tell last April how this song gets popular in the late 90's plus the movie "The Prince of Egypt" is a masterpiece. Love to see Mariah being the Billboards #1 again. Love you Mimi and Lambs ❤️🥰
People love to discredit her nowadays because they say she lost her voice, but Mariah is a whole icon and has proved herself countless times already, so we need to put respect on her name
Easily my favorite Ms Mojo countdown because im a HUGE Mariah fan. Thanks for this!!! I'm surprised that "If It's Over" from the Grammys is not here, though.
Mariah’s got a lot of her influence from Minnie Riperton, Aretha, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston. Especially when she was whispering her song make it happen.
"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.
This woman’s music was the soundtrack for me in the 90s. I only loved her. She truly helped me with coming out and accepting myself. Always the queen!.
My Top 10, in no particular orders, are: 1. Vision Of Love (Pepsi Smash: 2006) 2. If It’s Over (34th Grammy Awards: 1992) 3. Vanishing (SNL Rehearsal: 1991) 4. If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Patti Labelle Tribute: 1998) 5. Can’t Let Go (Arsenio Hall: 1991) 6. Emotions (Arsenio Hall: 1991) 7. Joy To The World (Live @ St. John the Divine: 1994) 8. The One (Shining Through The Rain: 2003) 9. Someday (Proctor’s Theatre: 1993) 10. You and I (BET Walk Of Fame Stevie Wonder Tribute: 2002)
Good ones, but I would add 'WBT' for BET 2005, 'Butterfly' SNL, which was fully live, 'VANISHIIIING' SNL, 'Make it happen' for GMA, Her iconic performance with Patti LaBelle of 'Got to be real'... Well, so many others...
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are the best vocalists in History, the runs, the ups and downs... The Low voices of Mariah.... The Whistles... Mariah is amazing. No one can never duplicate Mariah Carey. NEVER.
The Songbird Supreme is a living legend and icon for a reason, it's ridiculous that people forget she REDEFINED music, all stylistically, lyrically and vocally, just because she's human and has had a few bumps here and there, she's without a doubt one of the greatest vocalists of all time and a legendary songwriter, and her respect, flowers and admiration is sickeningly overdue

I love all of her songs
I'll Be There from MTV Unplugged
Make It Happen At Madison Square Gardens or Joy to the World at the big Church
One of her best live performances was the Patti LaBelle tribute where she sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow and made that song her own.
Yes! Definitely that one.
Yeeees!! One of her best performance ever! Unique and perfect!

Mariah is a great singer and a very attractive woman 😍
She's biracial she's obviously hot 😍❤️🔥🔝
Her version of without you. Was just every where. Loved it
"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.
To quote a wise saying by a wise artist,"Mariah is the 8th wonder of the world" 😜
❤☝🏾
This woman’s music was the soundtrack for me in the 90s. I only loved her. She truly helped me with coming out and accepting myself. Always the queen!.
The greatest of all time idc 💜😭
The Palace has now a Queen!
I loved that
LA MEJOR VOCALISTA DE LA HISTORIA ❤️❤️🦋👑
VERDAD
She was born to sing
Love the choices and well researched descriptions!
When she did America the beautiful i remember having goosebumps. Still to this day
If its over in her Grammys should be here
I truly consider the beautiful duet music "When You Believe" with Whitney Houston as the only live music I ever so loved by Mariah Carey.
“Without you and Anytime you need a friend” Thanksgiving Concert 1993
I love you Ms Mojo thanks for recognizing Mariah again!
My Top 10, in no particular orders, are:
1. Vision Of Love (Pepsi Smash: 2006)
2. If It’s Over (34th Grammy Awards: 1992)
3. Vanishing (SNL Rehearsal: 1991)
4. If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Patti Labelle Tribute: 1998)
5. Can’t Let Go (Arsenio Hall: 1991)
6. Emotions (Arsenio Hall: 1991)
7. Joy To The World (Live @ St. John the Divine: 1994)
8. The One (Shining Through The Rain: 2003)
9. Someday (Proctor’s Theatre: 1993)
10. You and I (BET Walk Of Fame Stevie Wonder Tribute: 2002)
That first one is dubbed unfortunately
@@sentfromupabove it's her voice, so I don't mind 🤷
Good ones, but I would add 'WBT' for BET 2005, 'Butterfly' SNL, which was fully live, 'VANISHIIIING' SNL, 'Make it happen' for GMA, Her iconic performance with Patti LaBelle of 'Got to be real'... Well, so many others...
I agree with you !
She's just always been my absolute amazing go to singer and always will be x
Why it took you so long to for this? My gosh, Mariah is a living legend.
A really accurate countdown! I love all those live performances
If i have to go back in history, it would definitely be in the MTV unplugged special by Mariah.
So many I can’t even pick a top 10!!! ❤❤❤
What a voice! 😍😍😍👏👏👏❤
The 1998 Essense performance in honor of Patti LaBelle where she sang a medley of Somewhere over the rainbow and If only you knew was amazing.
My go to! She ate those runs like it was one of Patti's Pies! 🥧🎶
Only Mariah ❤
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are the best vocalists in History, the runs, the ups and downs... The Low voices of Mariah.... The Whistles... Mariah is amazing. No one can never duplicate Mariah Carey. NEVER.
The Songbird Supreme is a living legend and icon for a reason, it's ridiculous that people forget she REDEFINED music, all stylistically, lyrically and vocally, just because she's human and has had a few bumps here and there, she's without a doubt one of the greatest vocalists of all time and a legendary songwriter, and her respect, flowers and admiration is sickeningly overdue
Incredible singer !!
Mariah could really sing live when she was younger. I still love Mariah but early Mariah was something really, really special.
