Mariah Carey, America the Beautiful

- From King Louie's Video Vault: Mariah Carey burst onto the national stage with this performance of "America the Beautiful" at the 1990 NBA Finals. This has been posted before @ RUclips, but with lower quality. (I'd programmed my SVHS machine to record the game, then kept the tape because of the great performance by this then-unknown singer.)
Testament to Mariah's instant impact: pro athletes usually tune out the national anthem, but this rendition left John Salley of the Detroit Pistons shaking his head. OK, Coach Daly was apparently less impressed. :-)

I love this because she didn't have anything at this point , no money , no glam squad , all she had was her voice and that's all she needed
Scott D
She had only been singing like a month
Exactly...This when Mariah was Mariah...My favorite
@@shgarrett624 She's still Mariah lol
Two different Mariah's...Some understand my comment and some don't
Sheila Garrett I understand the two Mariah’s. The old Mariah who was herself and nothing more. Now, she is a different Mariah who is less than to be admired.
The crowd: I don’t even know who you are
Mariah: You will.
Woow this CHILLS me
Mariah Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch🔥😂
Yaaasss queen!
I can imagine a bone chilling scenario with that!
THIS!! 😂👏🏼
She was simply “Columbia recording artist,” and now she’s “the best selling female artist of all time”
Various search results say Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time.
@@filangimn1746 i always thought madonna is “biggest” selling and mariah is “best” selling?
@@filangimn1746 all estimates. In my opinion, Mariah Carey has the most. She also has the most #1 hits out of any solo artist.
Now she’s Mariah Carey and people know who tf she is and knows what she can do

-The Meaning of Mariah Carey
That was such a respectful comment.
That’s how I came here
Man, I love you. This is the meaning of Mariah Carey.
😍😍😍😍
The best
Imagine being in that stadium and hearing Mariah's Carey's voice for the first time...in her vocal prime and it's live.
Technically this isnt her prime....her freshest state maybe...but not prime
@@jaypaidincash 1990 is her apart of her prime. Her voice was still healthy and fully functional here.
@@PatchesNjose but a "prime" is based off of someone's skill and maturity as well. Her real prime was definitely after this
I probably would have passed out.
Her first 3-4 years in the spotlight was her vocal prime. Her "Mariah whistle" may have put some strain on her vocals over the course of those few years. Her mother opposed to her singing like that, as it can physcially damage the vocals. Turned out she can still do it many years later but not as often and frequent as she did in her early years.
They didn't expect the whistle register... they're left in awe
People started packing up to go home. Totally forgot about the game.
That whistle was crystal clear and she sounded utterly effortlessly. God gifted singer.
This was Mariah's first live televised performance, and she slayed.
That she did!
Like Whitney she does things that fuddles your mind!
When she hit the high note, she was like, "it's Mariah Carey, bitches..." Lol. This was probably when she debuted her trademark whistle register, IMO. Like MJ debuting his signature moonwalk.
Right?! lol
The audience didn't know what was coming for them. A light skinned girl with a black woman's powerful voice. And the goosebump continues... indeed.
Calm down lol. When MJ debuted the moonwalk, Thriller was already becoming a cultural phenomenon, he had been in the business for more than 10 years by then even though he was under 25 yrs old, released Off The Wall a few years prior which was the biggest breakout album of the time and broke several records, gave leeway/steam for his album Thriller to break racial barriers in the music industry, and his performance alone became The Standard for many performers even to this very day. This performance for Mariah was more like when Michael/Jackson 5 was "introduced" to America on Ed Suvillan. I love Queen Mariah, but what you wrote wasn't a valid comparision at all.
Whiistling Winds I think he is talking about how they thing debuted or how they signiture/trademark debuted not how they career debuted lol.
Whiistling Winds
Oml stfu it ain’t that deep 🤦♀️
You could tell she was nervous at the beginning but then she killed it and once she hit the whistle note it was OVA.
Is that a young Whitney Houston I see on your profile photo?
zucchini2007 Maybe...................Whitney is one of my faves
CassieJazz96 now it’s Ariana Grande...😏
No it's Ariana grande😏
Dale Keel look they’ve changed their photo to talentless Grande
Her vibrato is to die for... she's got SOUL
Especially here, you can feel that soul too.
Howling is not singing
@@user-vz7rm7en9klmao it’s always the people who are deaf hating on great vocalists
@@user-vz7rm7en9kWym howling? She does all kinds of things with that register you call 'howling'. Gtfo of here with that hate. 💀
@@moodiiperson7474isn’t it disgusting that people are so full of hate? I say,if you don’t like Ms. Carey DO NOT WATCH HER! That’s ur choice! But to just post hatred is just so childish!
That stadium wasn't ready for the birth of one of the absolute best singers to ever exist.
At the end, you would think that's an applause but really it's the sound of ppl looking for their wigs that were snatched up by Mariah!!
Wig sales went up tht week.. Bcoz lot was snatched n lost
OMG! LMAO!!!
And their souls 😂😂
So true
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!😆
no words can explain how iconic this performance wow just wow
IKR👏👏👏
freddie Mercury slays her! And Sinnead O Conner and Tina Turner too!
Sara Sanchez
stfu.
Sara Sanchez She slay your faves OBJECTIVELY. 😂😂
iconic is when everyone remembers it. This is great but its only iconic to her fans. So no...
MARIAH: "I need to change the word 'sea' to "sea-AAAAAHHHH"
AUDIENCE: "Why?"
MARIAH: "Watch, listen and learn."
This is live, raw, pure emotions, resonant, vocal suicide and most of all no “let’s get loud!”
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
And it was done on the shittiest microphone quality ever. Iconic
The jlo shade lmao😂

She’s so unintentionally creative, it’s sickening
@Lifted Sailboat thanks
I don't think there is anything unintentional about her creativity... She is a perfectionist this wasn't an accident
@@zakariashartley Absolutely. To say it was accidental implies she didn’t work really hard and with determination to get to where she was and is. Which she did. Nothing was handed to her, and nothing was accidental
@LPjan it's not accidental cause it's really meant for her to happen
That's 3 octaves.. Ahckk Queen!!!
Even the announcer had to put some respect on it! “The palace now has a queen” said it all😂😂😂
"The palace now has a queen." I'm not sure if there is any better thing to say to follow up that performance than that lol
The palace now has a queen,, she blew everyone away in there damn
In case some aren't familiar with the NBA, "The Palace" refers to The Palace of Auburn Hills, which is the name of the stadium where the Detroit Pistons played, which led to the great quote.
*WARNING*
Mariah is going to blow you away
That little black dress she wore to everything in the early days 😂 It was all she had… and of course one of the greatest 5-octave voices ever heard in the world.
was it 5 octaves then? or just went down to 5 now...?
2:05 the Palace now has a Queen. Whoever that commentator was, He’s a Nostradamus! He knew Mariah is the Queen!
That was Pat O' Brien of CBS
THEY WERE SHOOK!
This makes me want to cry, just knowing it was the beginnings of the world seeing the magic that is Mariah Carey!
This is so true!! I kept on repeating the part where she whistles and the people applauses her and try to see myself standing there at that time and seeing mariah singing that and its to overwhelming to think that and also, it was just her beginnings where people is just getting to know her, :-(, I just love Mariah so much, my biggest inspiration in the world, long live the Greatest!!
howudoin135 Just amazing! Everytime I watch this performance I want to applaud! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
But now she lip syncs 😔
I WANT MY SLAW!! And understandably so. Gtfo.
I WANT MY SLAW!! LOL when she has to because of her nodules yeah. She doesn’t want to you know, she has to in order to keep her voice from deteriorating. She’s been singing live tho recently, so that’s magical. ☃️
I love how she added her own flair to this song but didn’t overdo it or make it sound unrecognizable. This is the greatest rendition of “America the Beautiful” ever, imo.
Samme! Whitney gets spangled banner, and Mariah gets america the beautiful 🇺🇸
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 yess!!!
Yes! And Celine gets God Bless America, the vocal trinity owns these songs.@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309
This is the 2nd greatest. Something about how Ray Charles sings it makes his version the best for me.
@@jasonito23 Ray Charles was amazing for sure.
Came here after watching J'Lo's inauguration performance to remind my ears of what perfection this. Truly the best version ever.
Omg I’m sorry your ears had to go through that
LMAO!!! TRUE!!!
one of her best live performances.
Christian M For me it was the best
+Marcos Vinícius It's easily in my top 10.
THE BEST IMO
Haters be like,, lyp sinc"
It was actually the standard (best) version of this song.
How can someone slay that much in her first TV appearance, and the first time performing to a large crowd?
I had fainted.
Yes, she said that this was her first time performing in front of a large crowd, not her first TV appearance. I confused.
top ne
Imagine having to go sing the anthem after this
This was her first TV appearance indeed. Arsenio Hall was taped, and it wouldn’t be aired until Mariah had already performed America the Beautiful on national TV.
She has waited everyday of her life to be standing there in that arena.. safe to say at that moment she is so ready to blow and tear the roof off of that stadium.. she has been preparing for that moment all her life..
"THE PALACE NOW HAS A QUEEN!
AND 30 YEARS LATER, THE GOOSEBUMPS CONTINUES..!"
😂😂😍😍
😂 hah so cute
back then:
"Columbia recording artist"
now:
one of the best-selling musical artists of all time
billboard's top female performer with 19 #1 hits
leading songwriter's hall of fame inductee
billboard's top female songwriter and record producer
one of the most streamed pre-2000's musical artists
named by the Guinness book of world records as the "Songbird Supreme"
and the queen of Christmas.
SHE. IS. A. LEGEND.
So True
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
My weave is in another octave.
my weave leaves on the piano
LMFAO! my soul was snatched..I'm just not the same person any more after this 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 omg!
omg I'm rolling 😂😂😂😂
chile!! 😂😂
This was a historic moment. The very moment Mariah Carey first introduced the “whistle note” to the general public. The rest is history. Having this documented is truly something special. Music has never been the same since.
Minnie Ripperton was the original whistle queen IMO, Mariah was obviously influenced by her not to say that is a bad thing, as Mariah is very good at it.
Mariah was just coming into her own.
Her gift was on point. The Palace realized a Queen was in the building after this performance!🎼🎶🎙
@@Dukkyjames200 Mariah introduced a new generation to whistle register though, and to be fair Minnie only had one hit so it's not like she was a household name.
@@EmilieSagae One hit? Shows what you know lol 🤣
@@Dukkyjames200 literally one US top 100 track other than her signature song. She may have lots of good material; she only had one commercial hit though.
“The Palace now has a Queen” forever gives me chills
Her vowel modification is out of this world. So good.
"The palace now has a queen" omg yass
This makes me wanna cry and I'm not even American
She was so lovely!
Rated R same here
No one that night could have possibly known they were witnessing the beginnings of a phenomenal super star! 30 years later and Mariah has had one of the most successful music careers of all time. 19 #1 hit singles and hundreds of millions of records sold worldwide. And to think, it pretty much started with this simple performance. She's an icon. What a voice!
I got teary eyed reading your comment. A star was born that night. Long live, Mariah.
That's very true
The guys looking at each other and shaking their heads like 'damn' is a MOOD AF
"The palace now has a queen, and the goosebumps will continue.."
Remember when singers used to give goosebumps? It's been awhile.
@@gemjewelle2687 And sadly I think it will be a while more.
The goosebumps will be a really good pump for the athletes to perform their best in the game. They didn't know they needed Mariah.
I have to listen to this once a week to calm my nerves
Chile!!
Me too. RIP replay button. ❤❤
I love u mariah foreverr..
@MAN UTD whut there be new sports by that time
Same.
The greatest vocalist of all time
Whitney Houston?
How about both? 🤷🏾♂️
@@jorgecampos31 Mariah Carey
Of course. The greatest of all time
@@jorgecampos31 Whitney who? 😂
I love how agile, full, proud, clear, and POWERFUL her voice sounds here, absolutely unprecedented and original.
Everyone was already wowed by her voice.. Then that whistle came along and sealed the deal. Yet not many people know of it which is sad.
@Adam Buentello This was her first performance ever tho, so, no, people weren't expecting anything at all, she wasn't any famous back then.
@Adam Buentello This was 1990.. she just debuted that year, so no, not everyone at that time knew she could whistle. And even if they knew, people were saying she can't do it live. But low and behold, she can!
@Adam Buentello Um it definitely was at the time? That was her first time singing a whistle on live recording.
We all know about her signature whistle and we do care 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@azizihoran2716 read the comments above yours. at that time, people said she couldn't hit them whistles live.
Whitney has the star spangled banner but mariah has america the beautiful
I’ll never understand why they didn’t have Mariah sing the NA🙄🙄This rendition was everything, but why this song❓❓
actually marvin gay has the star spangled banner.
vistaprime Marvin Gaye*
@@qxyzzz...autocorrect.
vistaprime 🤭💩
Had to come and cleanse my ears after that inauguration performance 🤣🤦🏽♀️
I love how at the end the players were so confused about what just happened 😂🙏🏻
I was at that game. All I remember when she walked right by me was: nice dress and how does she walk in those heels? Nice performance!
Cool reminisce, David. Thanks! I was home watching the game, which I was recording on my SVHS machine (that's where this clip came from). After hearing Mariah sing, I went out and bought her new CD, "Vision of Love."
David Anstett
I believe you too! Because every comment on the Internet is true.
Actually, David's comment has the ring of truth to me. But granted: there are probably 10 times as many people who say they were there that evening as were actually in attendance. That's par for the course.
David Anstett no you weren’t. Liar. and her heels were small,even you could walk in them. 😏
When did It happen?
I had to come here after that disgrace Fergie called a National Anthem.
TheNBAFreak i had to cleanse my ears too after that one..
frick same
TheNBAFreak seriously mariah needs to train her
I went here and to Whitney’s performance of the national anthem
Fergie would just carry the flag while Mariah sings and teach her a lesson.
Mariah’s debut single “Vision of Love” was still #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of this performance. This was right after her first televised performance on The Arsenio Hall Show, barely anyone knew who she was
Came here to cleanse my ears from Jennifer Lopez.
Agree! Same here Hahahaha
omg same HAHAHAHA
@@MeMe-td1ye You came here for that too. Stop pretending.
@@amy121209 just wanted to see Mariah when she was attractive
@@MeMe-td1ye So you do find her attractive? lamb 4 lyf 🥰
This can't be topped!
Terrel Boudreaux Whitney's is pretty close. I'm a die hard Mariah fan though.
Terrel Boudreaux it has been by fergie as memorable anthems sung
Whitney lipped a pre-recorded track and this was live... you can't compare the two.
Pete Flores It wasn't even the same song so the comparison is dumb. Both AMAZING performances.
M K L A TY 😁
In 1990, Mariah's debut song Vision of Love was not #1 yet, it was still at #73 at the Billboard chart in June 2. And this game was at June 5, so basically most people in that stadium didn't know who she was and didn't pay close attention to this precious historic event.
1:55 The players' reaction says it all
Mariah's rendition of America the Beautiful is the standard, just like Whitney Houston's rendition of the National Anthem. The best vocalist of all time.
So true I definitely get this 😁 and heard both as a child and loved both and seen how they were both so impactful in that time, in our days back then..
Whitney Houston wasn’t live and was prerecorded.
Yes, as cited by the actual recording engineer in a Whitney documentary @@jackeroo75
If Whitney owns Star Spangled Banner, Mariah owns America the Beautiful
She done blessed the entire stadium
Yessss!!!
The entire world.
she said that a lot of her classmates didn't know she can sing so I guess we know where she was when she was not going to school.
Sharnique Brown You can't let everyone know what you do (unfortunately) because Jealousy is a bitch (ask Christina)! When you have certain gifts, it's good to keep some things hidden. No telling what someone would've done/tried to do to her❗She didn't need that (on top of how she'd been treated since she was little). To be beautiful AND have a gift such as hers could've been dangerous❗
Ciarra Johnson You are right.
The story goes that her nickname at school was "Mirage" cause she was never there. LOL
I mean, we grew up with this queen as an artistic and musical standard, none of those (produced) billboard "number ones" of today will ever come close.
Stargate Messiah mariah is far successful if we will talk about billboards dahlin no offense though i love whitney too but mariah aint playing, billboards longetivity and sales records. Mariah is a topnotcher along with madonna
Stargate Messiah Mariah writes her own song, where’s Whitney talking about her ex? 🙊
Stargate Messiah What the hell?
Stargate Messiah stop being and uneducated. Mariah is ranked as the greatest female vocalist of all time you ignorant fool.. Even vocal coaches agree to this. There is no credible list in the world where Whitney's chopped up vocals full of overused head notes and mid belts will.surpass Mariah's vocal range, agility and talent. Watch and weep as Whitney is ranked at number 5 below Veronica Amorosso while Mariah is ranked on top in note by note comparisons. Educate yourself since even in your shit hole Covid infested country Mariah is the queen and copied by everyone. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
ruclips.net/video/LYEmM1UUbi0/видео.html
Stargate Messiah Whitney is just a cover and soundtrack singer their was nothing original or artistic about her common talent. She's so basic that she cannot even write her own songs.
She had an interview 2 weeks ago and she said that she's thankful of the announcer proclaiming her as the queen.
HAIR PLUCKED, STRIPPED, AND SCALPED FROM EVERY FOLLICLES OF MY MORTAL BODY
Vanity Chair lol
I like how the guys are "omg, yasss #slay queen" and then the camera focus them and are like "yeah, whatever" lol
kids this is what you called singing, no effects no auto tune. just pure talent
33 years later and still goosebumps 👑
Hello Amanda, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

Right❗️❓❓❓It would’ve really fkd you up if you didn’t know she sang✊🏿
@@Jmac4202 I just sung this lol
Ahahaha
.....and a star was born just like that....the rest is history
And the stadium realized they had just heard the best vocalist of all time sing
I remember seeing this on live TV, back in 1990, very, very vaguely. Nobody knew her yet but then she did her trademark Mariah whistle at the end and the rest is history...
There is NOTHING "vague" about Mariah. NOTHING.
@@KillahbootI’m sure they meant their memory was vague when watching this broadcast…
@@Killahbootnaw sweetie lol that’s not what @jdmikeg4 meant by that (vaguely) part

Mariah Carey herself just retweeted this video👏👏👏👏
😂😂😂 labyu
That C5 at the end was the most resonant note i ever heard my god she’s the GOAT
Had to clean my ears after listening to JLO version today
"The Palace now has a Queen!"- love it!
I wish she sang the national anthem at this time with this voice
America the Beautiful should be the national anthem.
Her voice was uncomparable here. She would have destroyed anyone
Her glitter voice actually had better technique and it’s not that far away from here actually.
This was her first public major introduction to the world. She said she always wore little black dresses and kept it simple at this point because she really was just starting off and going on nothing but a dream. Now that lady has a career and discography larger than any current popular artist. Well done mariah.
Who’s here after reading about this in her book?!
that whistle, it is so naturally done
mariah is legendary
I like the resonance at the ending. Like a waving echo
Mitch Roa yes, that sounded so nice. She's the queen of resonance in pop music.
Hollow voice
Patrick Larry if there is resonance a voice is full, therefore not hollow.
Ive Mc Fallen i meant to say her voice echoes like she is singing in a hallway.
ENDLESS RESONANCE🎤🎶
From “a Colombia recording artist” to “Best Selling Female Artist of All Time”
You just witnessed a birth of a legend, “The palace now has a QUEEN” 👸🏼
She talks about this in her book. So badass
You could hear the audience burst with applause after the first big belt. I heard an interview from 99 and she was talking about how she watched this performance and was basically blown away.
she can be singing the phone book to me and I'd probably still love it, queen
I always love how the dude at 1:35 looks confused how he ended up at a Mariah Carey concert.
Reading her book now. So much emotion. What was going on in her mind, she had nothing but her VOICE , her dream, her kind heart . Such an angel.
And a multimillion dollar record contract
@@strangerthings88She was a promise. Her career wasnt bought
@@af12034 what the hell are you even talking about a promise?? Lol Do you know what a RECORDING CONTRACT is?? 🙄
@@strangerthings88 She was no one here 💀
@@af12034 idk what drugs you’re on, but I think you need some help lol. She wasn’t ‘known’ yet, but she already had her first single out and she did Arsenio Hall a few days later. She signed a huge record contract years before this. You think she just walked off the street and did this? 😂😂🙄
HOW TF IS THIS VOICE EVEN REAL. Ugh this is why we need to show more respect for mariah. She's a living legend
Who does that in 90's??? She really opened the door for these new artists today..
She did this in my homestate!! Sadly they tore down the arena but I’m glad we have this footage
This should have been released as a single
Lol the stadium was so noisy but when mariah starts singing it became quiet and in the middle of the song you can really feel that the people weree not prepared to hear that majestic voice. Even the players and coaches!
A very nervous performance executed so well! That whistle sent them all into orbit
Lmao. She got Vinnie Johnson and John Salley so shook, they forgot they were about to play game one of the finals.
Anyone and everyone needs to understand there was no social media back than this was Mariah Carey one chance to shine and she hit it out of the park. I don't think we even had internet yet.
There has yet to be another singer in their prime that can out sing Mariah in her prime. She's simply iconic !
For me Whitney had the most feminine and powerful and natural voice! Maybe Mariah had better technique but still her voice is kinda girlish in compare Whitney's voice! For me they are equally good because one of them had the voice and the other had technique!
Catalina Saldivar i'm with you! I even don't know why some kids compare them!
@@catalinasaldivar2931 Make them laugh with your fake accounts, stay pressed by Mariah 's superiority
I agree
They're both legends and did things differently. Neither is 'better'.
If you hear Whitney singing Ain't No Way, she had to drop the key a few semitones to even attempt covering the song. Compare her version to Aretha's and Patti's and she comes off inferior. But does that mean they were 'better' than her? No way. All legends, just with different strengths and weaknesses.
No one can beat her version of this, mariah carey is the real queen.
she talked about this performance in her book wow. love everything about this performance.
can you write what he said in the book please
