OMG..this is totally live..There are still notes she dodged..But her immaculate tone more than compensates for them.I also love how she changed the lyrics from "before you gave me life" to "the day you gave me life" changing the meaning from abortion to adoption..This really hits hard..Such an emotional and powerful song nobody can sing as great as she can..Truly a masterpiece..
@@francescahuawei4194 She actually was on TV a lot more back during those years than you might think. From Divas to this performance to 9/11... I was happy to see her whenever she came on, and most times she was singing live (I know, shocker 😄)
It is! Maybe there are singers out there that can sing and belt as Mariah. Maybe some of them even louder. But nobody has that unique tone. The color of her voice is so special. Nobody has that.
@@ThorstenHeil True. It is now fashionable to say that the best singer ever is Dimash. But honestly I don't know if these people realize that Mariah has a totally unique and angelic tone, something that will never be in the history of music again. It is simply not possible for me to sing better and more harmoniously than this. As you say: you can do the same belts, you can go higher or lower (if you can) but you will never be so pleasant to listen. And this can be heard and made a difference in every single note, even the Whistle notes, in fact it is even more evident there. In addition, she has the ability to insert every single note in the right place at the right time and as if that were not enough her lyrics are the most beautiful I have ever heard. In short, for me Mariah is unique and it is not possible to compare her to any other artist of the past, present or future. The emotionality of her voice is uncomparable. Mariah is the Queen of the music. The best vocalist ever, her vocals are unmatched ❤️ Tell me your opinion...
This song always makes me feel some type of way. My mother is a very abusive and toxic person, and when she sang "you could've had the decency to give me up before you gave me life", it really hits me hard. (I know she changed the word "before" to "the day" in this performance, but still.) I'm still dealing with all the trauma, depression and insecurities that she's been causing me, and i still haven't had the courage to be open about this. First, because i'm a guy, and people will always belittle a man's feelings. Second, it's considered inappropriate, ungrateful and unnecessary to talk bad about your own parents in my country, and that's a huge problem because i'm not the only person who's been dealing with this type of situation. Hopefully, everything will be okay in the future.
Hi There, how are you? I hope you are still okay. I would like to send you a virtual hug. I just want you to know your feelings and emotions are the most precious thing ever exists on this earth. Please open up to yourself or anyone you can feel the trust - I know it is hard to do so. Please reply me if you can, I just wanna know if you are okay. All the best!
I've been dealing with the same issue since I was born. In my case, though, the mistreat is mulplied by three: from my father, my mother and my sister. A hostile approach has always been around. I just wish I were dead or all of them three. Being the cause of neglection can be unbearable.
Dont mind me... just here to be the one to say LOVE YOU FOR YOU❤No approval from anyone, should be of your importance!!! Stay Strong :])) P.S your comment made my day- ty for sharing💓
I'm so sorry. I live in Florida and the foster care system is pretty bad here.. You deserved better than that. 💔 *hugs* there had to be something seriously wrong with her for her to do that to you.
@@rebeccaspratling2865 wow it's still bad I'm 55 and I was released 3 months from my 18th birthday and it's still horrible wow I lived in central Florida Orlando area
@Debra Livsey ❤ I am so sorry to learn that. I hope you at some point found a forever-family...never? 🥺💔 The system is often very cruel. 💔 You are a very brave and a strong woman. Please don't ever give up. Love & blessings. 💕🦋🪶🌻✨
Oh I just got the *abortion* reference; in the official version it's "you could have had the decency to give me up, before you gave me life"... Woah this is so deep!
whitney houston's song "Miracle" is also about abortion. And theres a line in Terence Trent D'arby's "Sign your name" that alludes to abortion and the belief that their spirits remain in purgatory "i'd rather be in hell with the baby that we could have had"
This is one of her many songs that just goes through your chest and tears your heart apart to million pieces with the amount of emotion she could put into you through the song.. Her talent can really NEVER be compared..
i really agree, i am curious as to why people are not pointing out her resonance here. The resonance is so amazing it matches her tone so amazingly. Those resonance belts in "I..." letters is so amazing.
[Verse 1] Reflections of your love have come to wither I thought I'd done my best to memorize A picture fades of you and I together I haven't come to terms with how we said goodbye [Chorus] Did you really care, care at all for me? Did you really care, did you care at all for me? [Verse 2] A displaced little girl wept years in silence And whispered wishes you'd materialize She pressed on night and day to keep on living And tried so many ways to keep her soul alive [Chorus] Did you really care, care enough for me? Did you really care, did you care at all for me? [Bridge] If I'm not quite good enough Or somehow undeserving of a mother's love You could have had the decency to give me up Before you gave me life [Chorus] Don't you even care, just the slightest little bit, for me? 'Cause I really need to feel you cared Even once upon a time for me I need to believe, in my heart of heart of hearts, you care for me I need to understand why you left me there so helplessly Don't you even care, care at all for me? [Outro] Reflections of your love have come to wither I thought I'd done my best to memorize
Even though this song is not about relationships, I can definitely relate to it from that point of view. That feeling of loss, searching for answers and closure. Love you M 🦋
TITA IMPAKTITA Me too 😭 She's my inspiration and my strength when I feel so alone and useless. 💖 I love Mariah Carey, if she dies, she'll take a part of me with her 😔
this was after her mother actually tried to institutionalise her the way britney spears' dad did through the conservatorship. i hear the pain in her voice. thats why she changed that word
I’ve always loved this song and remember watching it on tv. I like that she switched the words bc the lambs know the original and we know what that feeling was as dark as it may be. One of my top MC songs 😀
Wao Wao Wao. It’s incredible what Mariah can do. I have my mom and she is amazing, the best mom, but this song made me cry, the way Mariah Carey sings is unbelievable, she tells you a story while she sings, I put on those kids’ shoes. could imagine how they feel without their moms . 😭😭

After reading her memoir everything makes sense!
Why? What happened
@@vicktorandrade9584 I thought it was like “you will never be half the singer I am”
It was sad, so sad
Her vocal breaks are divine!
Indeed
And so tastefully done :)
Giuliana CR everybody knows they are 🤷🏻♂️
Unreal 😭😭😭❤️
Yes!
The best tone in music history

one of her greatest songs written
Woah I had no idea, she performed this; undoubtedly one of her most underrated masterpieces...
2000-2002 got very little coverage. I was also too young then to follow music videos ecc
@@francescahuawei4194 She actually was on TV a lot more back during those years than you might think. From Divas to this performance to 9/11... I was happy to see her whenever she came on, and most times she was singing live (I know, shocker 😄)
I wish glitter was on spotify.
Volkhova it's on youtube
I wish in Apple Music too...
Volkhova why isn't it on spotify tho?
me too..
It's not on apple music but I recently bought some songs from the Glitter album on iTunes!! :)
her tone here is just so rich and beautiful

Glitters is now number 1 in iTunes in several country...
Mariah on her lowest point - still the standard of 'em all!
This song hits home to me very hard. My adopted mother gave me up to the foster system in Florida. It still hurts every time I play this song.
😢😢😢💐
Most blessings to you from the above 💕

Ikr
GarageStudio When that line came up It stabbed my heart, so deep 🤧❤️
she had to change it up for this holiday special prob because it was about adoption. she sang "the day you gave me life" instead
whitney houston's song "Miracle" is also about abortion. And theres a line in Terence Trent D'arby's "Sign your name" that alludes to abortion and the belief that their spirits remain in purgatory "i'd rather be in hell with the baby that we could have had"

Exactly!!!
the glitter soundtrack is a masterpiece when you actually listen to it. argue with the wall~
exactly !!
yall never understand how brilliant this song is
Greatest vocalist of all time
Tone, resonance and intentional vocal break on point
i really agree, i am curious as to why people are not pointing out her resonance here. The resonance is so amazing it matches her tone so amazingly. Those resonance belts in "I..." letters is so amazing.
that slide tho😭😍 (just the slightest little bit for me) im literally in heaven
Truth is she was singing in front of foster children ...it makes me cry
[Verse 1]
Reflections of your love have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms with how we said goodbye
[Chorus]
Did you really care, care at all for me?
Did you really care, did you care at all for me?
[Verse 2]
A displaced little girl wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day to keep on living
And tried so many ways to keep her soul alive
[Chorus]
Did you really care, care enough for me?
Did you really care, did you care at all for me?
[Bridge]
If I'm not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of a mother's love
You could have had the decency to give me up
Before you gave me life
[Chorus]
Don't you even care, just the slightest little bit, for me?
'Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe, in my heart of heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand why you left me there so helplessly
Don't you even care, care at all for me?

Love you M 🦋
im glad that critics have now re-evaluated the album and given its proper worth...to me its an amazing album
powerful, I'l surely cry if she passes away
TITA IMPAKTITA Me too 😭 She's my inspiration and my strength when I feel so alone and useless. 💖 I love Mariah Carey, if she dies, she'll take a part of me with her 😔
+Mariah CareyVEVO me too.
TITA IMPAKTITA omg DONT SAY THAT 😭
Dudes..geez..relax..
But if she does pass away, it would be like God passes away, I don't have a religion and she was the only one who restored my faith
i love this song. the emotions
the power. this song is underrated.
and i love the quality
of her voice here it's
better than the studio version.
the amount of glisando in this clip is mindblowing. what an instrument. her voice
I can soo relate to this song I'm crying right now
If she performs this on the Caution Tour, my wigless body would be 6 feet under
The most beautiful song of the greatest singer of all time
Such an underrated track. I remember balling my eyes out when I first heard this song 😭
better live.the piano and the back up vocals give it flavour
Mariah needs to do a gospel album my god this girl can sang
mariah's vocal always on point
I love this song. One of the first songs I listened to and reason I became a lamb. I guess this one and Can't take that Away are my favorites 💖😪🙏
Period 💖
This song and Marian's voice really touches your heart
Wonderful Mariah Carey, Superwoman!! this is the Glitter album era , 2001! Beauty and talent!!
amazing performance of the queen of music....
this was after her mother actually tried to institutionalise her the way britney spears' dad did through the conservatorship. i hear the pain in her voice. thats why she changed that word
Those vocals are so vulnerable. It gets into your soul
She snapped at 2:30, pure perfection
UNMATCHED
Pure talent
One and only vocal Queen
Your song save my soul
Everything about her is GORGEOUS. Her voice and her looks, WOW!!! Her talent is unmatched. Surely the best of all time.
2:34 love this moment of mariah singing while phrasing these words
Her second prime. Periodt!
Now it makes sense..this song is about her own mother....
Yes....
Are you sure? Dduuuuhhh!!!
It’s about MARILYN MONROE dumb bitches!
No it's not, it's about Billy Franks' mom in Glitter lol
we finally know glitter was (semi)autobiographical!!!
Don’t make me cry, Mariah. OK it’s not your fault, just go on!
Mariah just recently stated on her Instagram that she’s trying to get GLITTER on ALL streaming platforms. 😫💗
Wish is granted today.🎉🎉🎉
Glitter the Album is Charting this 2018!!!
El vibrato en las notas de paso son muy difíciles de hacer y a ella lo hace perfecto 2:39 , 2:47 , 2:55
omar gasca verdad
2:50 Daydreamriah 😁
That true TIRED raspy yet still STRONG husky voice during the Glitter era was her 2nd best vocal era and I miss it 😭
*The best voice❤2020,2021,2022...*
Those Eb5 gave me chills... like her lows notes... or her voice in general. Her voice is just a gift from heaven. #MariahForever♥
Wow this performance showcased how her Speaking Voice is very different to her Singing Voice.
Most sopranos’ speaking voices are deeper than their singing voices
Beautiful tone. Her voice was in great shape here.
🎶... to keep her soul alive ...🎶
that's me everyday 😢
There will never be another Mariah
Mariah's voice here is 😍
Omg it's live!! 😭😭😭😭😍
If I were a child in the audience I’d have been weeping
Irreplaceable..❤
touched by the song and the voice.
Yes u shall be forever the queen
Period.
2:50 IN MY HEART OF HEART OF HEARTS!😍❤️
I cant be happier that she performed this live. ❤
I’ve watched a lot of her live performances and where her voice was in certain eras. Her voice was really really strong here.
I’ve always loved this song and remember watching it on tv. I like that she switched the words bc the lambs know the original and we know what that feeling was as dark as it may be. One of my top MC songs 😀
Every time I see this movie I get emotional and cry, I feel very identified with the story. Because that is my story, I'm a survivor.
Did she change the lyrics from "before u give me life" to "the day u gave me life"? Coz that completely changed the meaning from abortion to adoption
+exoticloon yeah cus of TV or cus of ( i just notice it now) the public there are just kids o.o
why the f* she is singing this song for kids?
Its not like they can comprehend it easily
That line always bothered me
I believe its "before you gave me life"
preeza1 it’s ‘before you gave me love’
Brilliant MARIAH CAREY
Enchanted note, the start and the end. OMG. I love it.
She is an inspiration
Wao Wao Wao. It’s incredible what Mariah can do. I have my mom and she is amazing, the best mom, but this song made me cry, the way Mariah Carey sings is unbelievable, she tells you a story while she sings, I put on those kids’ shoes. could imagine how they feel without their moms . 😭😭
I owe my life to this woman right here! What a blessing and what an anointed individual!
Love this Glitter Era ,this hair and this beauty !! Love this woman.♥️
Paulo Siwsan hair was terrible in the era.
I agree except the hair lol. I didn’t like bangs on
Mariah haha
Mariah THANK YOU to exist!
So beautiful Mariah , thank you so much for this song . The lyrics are so true for me🦋♥️🦋
We need to start a petition for her to add this album on Spotify!!
Sebastian Contin it is now!
i love you Mariah
I love this song! My mother's love it was so sad in my memories.
Listening now 8:40 PM August 2, 2019. I really love this songggggg😊😊
Essa música dá vontade de Chorar kkkkk !!!!! ❤❤❤
Filipe Duarte verdade.. linda demaaaais! emociona..me arrepia! linda
Um brasileiro!!! Que raridade!! ❤
Acontece o mesmo comigo! Toda vez que ouço, não consigo controlar, choro mesmo. Tem algo de muito especial e tocante nesta canção ❤
2:50 brought me to a different timeline
I think this song and this performance of this song are amongst the underrated of her ENTIRE career. It is PERFECTION.
And if a person truly loves you there are no agendas or acting. Love is just love 💫

"Reflections (Care Enough)"
Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms
With how we said goodbye
Did you really care
Care at all for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me
A displaced little girl
Wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day
To keep on living
And tried to many ways
To keep her soul alive
Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me
If I'm not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of
A mother's love
You could have had the decency
To give me up
Before you gave me life
Don't you even care
Just the slightest bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe, in my heart of heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly
Don't you even care
Care at all for me
Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize

You could've had the decency to give me up the DAY you gave me life
