She's also a skilled producer. If you all do not know, Mariah picks the samples, does the vocal arrangement and layering, sets the chord progressions, works directly with the engineer in the mixing, etc. etc. This woman is the peak of artistry in popular music. You will be hard pressed to find another artist that can be so accomplished at so many aspects of music. The only thing she doesn't have to her credit is skill in a none vocal instrument. But if she did we would all struggle to relate cause she would be somewhere in the clouds, unreachable. I know many bring up Aretha, Barbara or Carole King but chil', Mariah slays with this pen, production and vocals. People don't even address the number of tones and colors to her voice, which she's mastered in all registers.
@@dandelionkim3883 you cabt watch Beyonce dance when playing her record. You can feel Mariah's emotion through an old cassette tape. Not even Beyonce dares to compare herself to Mariah Carey why her Fandom feel they can?
Okay, I honestly think the same thing. I thought maybe I was being insane or delusional for thinking that since no one else seems to agree but... hello, darkness.
Mariah never gets enough credit as a songwriter when Taylor Swift is ranked higher than on a list, compiled by RS magazine. I mean c'mon. Petals is a poem and one of the most haunting musical experiences anyone could have. The fact that she wrote the song and co-wrote the music on the song as well.. shows just how unearthly her talent really is. The GP probably doesn't know half the diamonds she has in her catalogue.
Stevyy Jay A-FCKING-MEN T.S HAS NOTHINGGGGG ON MIMI, THAT TWIG ONLY WRITES ABOUT BREAKUPS AND NO PAZAZ TO IT UNLIKE MIMI WHICH IS A FREAKING ARTIST/POETIC WRITER
I'm glad you put a spotlight on her writing ability! People really don't pay attention to how she crafts her songs. Lyrics, arrangements, harmonies...this is why she's called the songbird supreme!!!
She wrote this song, Petals, for her sister who is (or was) on drugs. I saw her in concert here in LA many moons ago and it was very emotional 😭 She cried the entire time she sang (was sitting second row). Beautiful song.
the lyrics are so profound when put into perspective with what was going on in her life at the time, her falling out with her sister, her breakup with Tommy, her relationship with his kids etc...
The difference between Mariah and Whitneys musicality is soooooo noticeable!!!! Whitney never had any songs this deep!!! Thats just Mariahs writing and lyrical genius
It's make me sad that my generation doesn't appreciate talent like her 😭and taylor is ranked higher than Mariah when it comes to writing ? 😕I'm done with this generation 😒
The last song you listened to was "Close my Eyes" from the album Butterfly in 1997. This song and the interlude are from the album called "Rainbow" released in 1999. It was the album after Butterfly.
These are haunting gems in her repertoire there are too many layers to this woman to understand her “musicality” .She is an appreciation not just your singer singer.She could outpen , outproduce and outsing many as a combination and that’s not something easy to match. 🧡🧡🧡
This & Close My Eyes are everything. Close My Eyes is on the Butterfly album, this was rainbow :) Can you react to Mariah's "Open Arms" live at Madison Square? I really want you to hear "Melt Away" btw, its incredible. Great video as always bro, & i couldn't agree more that Mariah's music is an Experience & Journey.
I like this performance. She did not sing a lot of high notes, but she also sings the low notes great and she always delivers great emotional vocals, when the song she sings deals with personal memories. :)
I wish Mariah was even credited more as a writer.. She’s amazing. I’d honestly read the lyrics while watching her perform it.. Her vocals are obviously so olympic, but her overall musicality is legendary but sadly underrated.
It seems she saved her more personal songs for Rosie (they're from the same 'hood). Source: "Mariah Carey - My All Performance + Interview (Rosie O'Donnell)"
Petals and Close my eyes are two of her most personal songs. With petals she has even make her cry during live performances. Rainbow is not really a song, it's an interlude in the album Rainbow and she exteriorises leaving Sony music and how she feels she will see the rainbow as pact for a new life
this is the thing with Mariah! Some of her most beautiful songs went unnoticed because she either rarely or never performs them live. Good thing is that for petals she did a few times back then and she really needs to do more during concert! Fans don't want to hear the hits all the time! we also need those gems brought forward as well!
React to Mariah Carey - Lead The Way please! You'll love it. She's never performed it live but you can just listen to the audio. Those sustained belts. 🙌
My favorite reaction video by you thus far. I am a lamb, so I have a personal connection to this song. Her songwriting has helped me in many dark times, 'my saving grace'.
JustTheVoice listen to Pisces (Alternative version)by Trey Lorenz, Mariah's male backup singer in this clip. She sings backup for him on the record. I thought it would be interesting for you to see them switch up roles. Loved this reaction. I had the same kind of feels when I first heard this song. I haven't studied music or anything like that, but I appreciate talent when I see/hear it.
The reason why this song is emotional is because she wrote it for her sister Allison. There are many performances of this song where she cries because the emotion is real. She's the best and will always be
I'm Belgian and I didn't understand the words she was singing yet I still could feel the emotions she put into this song like Looking In or Close My Eyes... Thanks to Mariah I learned english so fast! Her vocabulary is unbelievably well-developped... The best female singer-songwriter in the music industry (: Splendid song I was about to shed a tear... How beautiful this song is, I don't even have words to describe.
After reading her memoir, this is a really sad song, with everything she was going through during that time with her ex husband, her Family, her "friends" etc.
The surround sound is incredible it reveals all the background voices from Melonie, Trey and can´t tell if it is Mary Ann Tatum or Tabitha. This is my favorite and unique song from MC, I truly truly love this song man and it was years since I listened to this song this way with the surround sound. Thanks for sharing this one and in that surround sound not the original one, thanks again, buddy!!! It reflects a very sad part and age of my life as well. it brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to this masterpiece. THX!!!
thank you for granting my request.. petals/rainbow, heartbreaker, against all odds, can't take that away, bliss and thank God i found you, are on the same album "Rainbow" 1999
rainbow album includes her 2 number one song Honey and Thank God i Found you, also petals and rainbow, Can't take that away , plus her cover of the song Against all odds..
This song may be an underrated ballad (like Looking In, Outside, a lot more) but fans know that Mariah made a quality of song such as this/these. It doesnt need to be a well-known song for it to be great.
Please believe me anything you felt in this performance will be doubled with the studio version. Petals is just 🙌🏽🙌🏽, plus the studio version has a different finish with a lot of vocal layers. Ps- close my eyes was from Butterfly, petals is from Rainbows.
Mariah is a rare genius on multiple levels - lyrics, melodies and of course that divinely inspired voice.
🙏🙏🙏
Mariah should write more songs like this, she doesn't need to belt for her to be appreciated.
She's also a skilled producer. If you all do not know, Mariah picks the samples, does the vocal arrangement and layering, sets the chord progressions, works directly with the engineer in the mixing, etc. etc. This woman is the peak of artistry in popular music.

Christopher Davis i would DIE to hear an full live Mariah playing piano performance...
if mariah could dance like beyonce thennnn
dandelion Kim well dancing is so far from the whole context of creating and delivering music but you tried tho.
Na there will never be another Mariah
@@dandelionkim3883 you cabt watch Beyonce dance when playing her record. You can feel Mariah's emotion through an old cassette tape. Not even Beyonce dares to compare herself to Mariah Carey why her Fandom feel they can?
She doesn't need to belt to impress people. She's way more talented than any other artists present.
Am I the only one who feels like she is the equivalent of ShakeSpeare in music?
Okay, I honestly think the same thing. I thought maybe I was being insane or delusional for thinking that since no one else seems to agree but... hello, darkness.
Michael Chu 👌
Hello Darkness She really is equivalent, ppl just love to underestimate her but haven't heard her whole catalog
Hello Darkness i
Michael Chu what do you mean hello darkness?

Stevyy Jay So is Looking In, Close My Eyes, Twister, I Wish You Well, The Wind etc.. Mariah is such a genius
Stevyy Jay A-FCKING-MEN T.S HAS NOTHINGGGGG ON MIMI, THAT TWIG ONLY WRITES ABOUT BREAKUPS AND NO PAZAZ TO IT UNLIKE MIMI WHICH IS A FREAKING ARTIST/POETIC WRITER
preach
marykacyy I'm a lamb. But you should try listening to T.S.'s songs too. You'll see that not all of her songs are about love and break ups.
Taylor is amazing, but Mariah is better
She is amazing, she shows that no need to hit the very high note and whistle to sing beautifully, no one can sing a low notes like her
CLAP CLAP CLAP. She's amazinnnng!
I'm glad you put a spotlight on her writing ability! People really don't pay attention to how she crafts her songs. Lyrics, arrangements, harmonies...this is why she's called the songbird supreme!!!

close my eyes is on butterfly and petals is on rainbow!
and Twister on Glitter
She's never gotten enough credit for being a lyrical genius.
the lyrics are so profound when put into perspective with what was going on in her life at the time, her falling out with her sister, her breakup with Tommy, her relationship with his kids etc...
The difference between Mariah and Whitneys musicality is soooooo noticeable!!!! Whitney never had any songs this deep!!! Thats just Mariahs writing and lyrical genius
I love them both they’re so unique !
its incredible how mariah arranged these songs :) she is a master of background song layers :) #respect
That's why the songs are so organized and harmonious . MC and her best background singers 😍
The last Note OMG !!! Mmmmmmmmm
She's not just a skilled songwriter. Shes a poet. Her songs have so much symbolic meaning!
Reasons why I love Mariah
Her background in her songs
This song gets me so emotional when I hear it... always has...
There are no words
It's make me sad that my generation doesn't appreciate talent like her 😭and taylor is ranked higher than Mariah when it comes to writing ? 😕I'm done with this generation 😒
This is one of her most personal songs, in which she wrote about her estranged siblings. Extremely emotional yet hauntingly beautiful 💕
The lambs are waiting for more!!!
omgsss i can't get enough of it!! there's no high notes nor whistle... but i almost crying.. mariah u r really a supernatural diva!😢😢
The last song you listened to was "Close my Eyes" from the album Butterfly in 1997. This song and the interlude are from the album called "Rainbow" released in 1999. It was the album after Butterfly.
Infinite goosebumps!
"This music! Ooo that's good" yeah my baby Mariah Carey Wrote and Produced that ish!!
These are haunting gems in her repertoire there are too many layers to this woman to understand her “musicality” .She is an appreciation not just your singer singer.She could outpen , outproduce and outsing many as a combination and that’s not something easy to match. 🧡🧡🧡

YASSS MELT AWAY, my favorite song ever!!!! :D hahhaa
simply breathtaking.
Petals is deep
It was about her family and about tommy
@@houseniggas yes I know ;) but thanks for messaging
I like this performance. She did not sing a lot of high notes, but she also sings the low notes great and she always delivers great emotional vocals, when the song she sings deals with personal memories. :)
Thanks, never seen this song performed live. it's one of my favorites. Everything about is like WOW
She wrote , produce and did all in almost all her songs ! A true artist ! ❤️🤩🔥
This song is a journey. It’s a masterpiece. The one and only Mariah gives us this time and time again b
I wish Mariah was even credited more as a writer.. She’s amazing. I’d honestly read the lyrics while watching her perform it.. Her vocals are obviously so olympic, but her overall musicality is legendary but sadly underrated.
Kelly Price was one of her background singers. Not sure when she stopped but she was with Mariah for some time.
97
Kelly's a writer, so she left when it was time. Anyway, who you see here is Trey and Melanie
It seems she saved her more personal songs for Rosie (they're from the same 'hood). Source: "Mariah Carey - My All Performance + Interview (Rosie O'Donnell)"
Petals & Rainbow Interlude is on Rainbow & Close My Eyes is on Butterfly.
This live performance give me THE chills! It's impeccably produced and sang. Amazing!
Petals and Close my eyes are two of her most personal songs. With petals she has even make her cry during live performances. Rainbow is not really a song, it's an interlude in the album Rainbow and she exteriorises leaving Sony music and how she feels she will see the rainbow as pact for a new life

The best reactor on RUclips so far..
You should react to Bliss! It's literally like heaven in music form
The layer of voices. Just wow. Genius
That low note was her in the studio version. The album is Rainbow and it's my favourite album! 💝
Masterpiece which cannot be described by words
1st song was about forgiveness of her family, 2nd song “rainbow” is about hope and gratitude. The 2nd song I sing to myself in hopes of better days.
React to Mariah Carey - Lead The Way please! You'll love it. She's never performed it live but you can just listen to the audio. Those sustained belts. 🙌

petals is one of the most beautiful songs ever written!

I've always loved the performance of these two songs? Yes they are both on the rainbow album.
I remember buying the “Rainbow” CD in high school, I was seventeen. I miss the nineties, it was so much good music. ❤❤❤❤❤
React to slipping away please by Mariah carey its amazing!
We feel the same magic emotions my friend. Fabulous
The reason why this song is emotional is because she wrote it for her sister Allison. There are many performances of this song where she cries because the emotion is real. She's the best and will always be

That was beyond the word "beautiful"
I’ve never seen you almost speechless before. Only Mariah can do that to anyone…but, even you!
React to Mariah Carey- Anytime You Need A Friend (Stringapella)
After reading her memoir, this is a really sad song, with everything she was going through during that time with her ex husband, her Family, her "friends" etc.
