Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Discovered by a major label and quickly accorded fast-track priority, Mariah Carey was already a platinum pop Cinderella by the time of this 1992 music video project. Her career's exclusive reliance on meticulously groomed studio recordings and equally polished video clips invited critical skepticism, if not scorn, however, making this concert debut on camera a risky career move. As it happened, it was also a triumphant one: coming on the heels of her manicured albums, the girlish charm and heart-stopping vocal pyrotechnics displayed on Unplugged confirmed Carey's talents, while also delivering the freshest music she'd made up to that point. Modifying the series's original acoustic format, Carey's special reinforces her octave-leaping vocal prowess with a crack (and frequently very plugged-in) band, a string section, and a muscular vocal chorus. But the star herself is clearly live, not Memorex, as she vaults from her husky lower register to those signature, stratospheric head tones that would normally be possible only through judicious application of helium. Earlier hits, including "Emotions," "Vision of Love," and "Make It Happen," come across more like heartfelt (if somewhat routine) personal testaments than the technical showcases they seem on record, where every on-a-dime vocal swoop, leap, or pirouette can suggest a deliberate obstacle placed there to demonstrate Carey's chops. When she tucks into Michael Jackson's "I'll Be There," however, there's little room left for quibbling. Carey's lush, melismatic delivery blossoms in this richer emotional soil, and her duet partner, Trey Lorenz (who would go on to a successful solo career, catapulted by this performance), matches her in fervor. Even Carey's detractors can be humbled by this track, while her fans will relish the whole program, augmented on home video with three contemporaneous video clips. --Sam Sutherland

Mariah carey is a very powerfull singer she sings from her heart. This video shows her with emotions and how beatifull she looks. No one can ever sing like her so beatifaly. To me she is the best singer in the wolrd. She deserves to be loved. (...). From deep down my heart you should buy this video you will defenetly love this video and you will see she is a lovley person. God bless ****** Love IT! Carey at her Best!
Mariah, in recent years, has become somewhat of a R'n'B backup singer rather than a predominant diva, but here there is none of that. In this video Carey seems cool and at home with the audience; her vocals are great and the music is just as enjoyable - she is truly in her element. Soulful performances of greats such as "Vision of Love" and "Emotions," which in my opinion is better than the record version, along with her charming, innocent stage presence, make this a must have. this is the best mariah video ever
This video really shows what mariah carey can do the best part is the first song emotions the way she squilles at the end of it is AMAZING!!!!!!. also later on she did make it happen and ill be there they were both great as well. But i loved someday that was the best. mariah carey is the best singer in the world and there r many people that would disagree with me but no one not celine whitney shania anaastica tina turner can beat here your my dreamlover mariahxxxxxx buy this video you have to see how good she is its well worth the money Great live performance
This video proves that Mariah can perform live. She sounds amazing in every song. The order in which she performs them isEmotions (Awsome version with intro)If It's Over (With Saturday Night Live horn section)Someday (Really Cool version a little different)Vision of Love (Great song)Make It Happen (Awsome piano playing by Walter Afanasief and David Cole)I'll Be There (Awsome song)Can't let Go (Great ending to a great performanceAt the end there is also a little interview with Mariah playing with her dog and 4-wheeling. Plus it contains Emotions (12" extended), Make It Happen, and Can't Let Go. Mariah a some of her back-ups are also singing an acapella of "To Be Around You" and mariah is swimming. Great Video must buy. Fabulous
This is a tape of a fabulous live concert Mariah gave way back in 1992 or 93. The great thing about this tape is -- she was LIVE. She sings the songs a little differently. She freestyles a little differently. The arrangements really pop.The best part of the concert is the impromptu and unrehearsed performance of "Can't Let Go". Nowhere else have I been able to find a live version of this song. Mariah is still in great voice on this tape, and I highly recommend both the VHS AND the CD versions of this concert.  |
