From The Vault: Mariah Carey Gives Her ‘All’ At Divas 98

Before it was the name of a successful talent show, ‘The Voice’ has been and still is a certain diva’s moniker – of course we’re talking about the one and only Mariah Carey. Whether on top of the charts or not, Mariah’s status as one of the greatest power-vocalist to ever grace the face of earth has never been questioned.

Mimi’s live showing of her hit ballad ‘My All’ at 1998’s Divas Live will make the object of this week’s From The Vault.

A Lamb-favorite, this live showing showcases Mrs Carey-Canon’s then new voice: a raspier, huskier one, and although a tad less powerful than before, it boasted a compelling rawness.

By the end of the performance, the soulful songbird channels her inner Dance-diva, parading on stage to the David Morales remix of the track. A refreshing flirtation with Dance we wouldn’t mind seeing her revisit with future efforts.

Speaking of what’s to come, a degree of realism is imperative. The mother-of-two’s voice had been through a lot – from the mire and back higher. Indeed, her vocals have been the subject of many heated conversations. Yet, although we highly doubt she’ll recapture the youthful horsepower she possessed during her vocal hey-day (which is only fair), we at That Grape Juice are still rooting for ol’ Mimi and anticipate more greatness from her before the curtain call.

    There is too many ignorant people on this site. “flopriah” and other ignorant remarks only reflect the intelligence level of the people posting here. Mariah had and still has the voice of an angel. She has been a blessing to music as we know it.

    This was my era, man – just loved 90s Mariah (esp. Butterfly).

    Watch this, then go watch any perfomance of ‘Touch My Body’ and come back and tell me that this was in any way not completely LIVE. This is how she used to shut it down.

    She still my girl, but times is changed. Ho hum.

    HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO LIPSYNCHS EVERY PERFORMANCE, BE SLAYING WITH THEIR VOICE ? LMFAOOOOO

    IRRELEVANT FLOPriah 🙁

  15. Bumpy August 21, 2011

    Why steal Whitney Houston’s title and apply it to this lip syncing singer? :-/
    Granted, she’s good at what she does, but “THE VOICE” only goes to one singer and that is Whitney Houston.
    Anyways, back to this performance you decided to post, it wasn’t great. Her voice started to go down under during Butterfly era. That’s because she wasn’t using her voice the right way.
    Why is that all the singers who came out during the time Mariah came out, can all still sing and sing well, but it’s a struggle when she does it?

  16. kimbeenshittingonsickigarbarj August 21, 2011

    @AGN B**** I SEE You Indirect Shade & Everyone In The F****** Game HAS LIPSYCNED Before That Doesnt Mean They Cant Sing ! So You tryna Say BRITNEY SPEARS CANT SING ????? B**** YOUR DISMISSED !

    @Agn Go get your life together and come back someone cause right now you’re nothing! Mariah stays on top! 2009 obsessed was a top ten hit and I want to know what love is stayed at #1 for a record breaking 27 weeks! And it doesn’t matter if she never has another top 10 hit cause she’s Mariah Carey and she will forever get paid! She’s the 2nd highest selling female performer of all time behind madonna! With the way record sales are today, no one will ever surpass mariah or madonna!

  23. Nichole August 21, 2011

    If I recall, Frank Sinatra was dubbed as “The Voice” long before Whitney. Yup. That’s right. Oprah dubbed her as “The Voice,” but we all know who Oprah took that from.

    It’s fair to refer to Mariah as “The Voice” as well as Sinatra, and Houston because just like those two, she is in the history books as one of the greatest singers of all time and her vocal talent cannot be denied. I don’t give a flying fig how much her vocals declined, and how much people despise her.

    Whitney is one of the greatest singers EVER, and my opinion will not change just because she smoked crack and her voice is now shot.

    People need to learn how to give credit where credit is due, and if I can, then so can others.

    @Nichole well said and thank you these idiots these days only live in the here and now only focus on what’s current whereas artists have formidable back catalogues and many years of experience. How can someone immediately dismiss a person because they don’t have a recent number one, which today means less than a primary school certificate when that same person has, what, 18 number ones spanning a 20 year career. I got a seat here for you guys, and you need to sit down. One more thing, her name is Mariah Carey, disrespectful folk running their mouths.

  26. TIMMI August 21, 2011

    Mariah has slayed the music industry and has earned her place as a legend. However much her voice has changed does not change history, and with her current voice she can still sing circles around every other woman in the industry.

    You may argue about who the title of “The Voice” belongs to but Mariah has the voice, the songwriting ability, the creativity, the looks, the full package.

    THE VOCAL TRINITY:
    Mariah Carey: The Songbird Supreme
    Whitney Houston: The Voice
    Celine Dion: The Queen of Ballads

  46. NATE August 21, 2011

    Mariah is a legend, and this performance was truly great! Her body was bangin as well.. BUTTTTTTT, Mariah was NEVER known as THE VOICE. It’s always been Whitney. Whitney was THE vocalist of the 80s, when 1990 began Mariah made a big splash, and folks were calling her the next whitney. Then in 93, Whitney came with the nuclear bomb that is The Bodyguard era, and has been known as THE VOICE ever since.

    After I will always love you, every diva afterwards tried to arrange their ballads the same way with the instrumental break then the big belt. ex. Unbreak my heart, even My All.

  57. UrKidding August 22, 2011

    Mariah is truly The Voice. Her OVER 200MILLION albums and singles alone sh*t on EVERYBODY u gerls are mentioning. She gets so much hate because she is so great. Who else is gonna get 18#1 Hot 100 SINGLES in their lifetime. Oh and she WROTE them all except I’ll be There. I see why u gerls are mad.
    Fact #1 song of the 90’s= One Sweet Day(#1 for 16 weeks)when yo fave gone do it?
    Fact#1 song of 00’s= We Belong Together(#1 for 14 weeks)again, when yo fave gone do it?

    Like Mariah said, “They can try but they cant take that away from me”

  58. Anonymous August 22, 2011

    You folks really have nothing better to do than to hate. Someone is only a flop if they’ve never had success in their entire career…and NO LIVING singer is in as elite of a league as Mariah Carey is, based off their MUSIC alone. She’s the only living record breaker. Just because she hasn’t been out for a minute does NOT mean she’s a flop, it just means that she doesn’t feel the need to constantly be on the scene like some people (Beyonce), just to say relevant. Her music speaks for her….and that is one of a legend. What’s the difference between Mariah and all these so called “singers” that are out now…mariah is memorable, and all the rest, including Beyonce (although talented) are forgetable. No one is going to remember any of this music that’s out now 10 years from now. Yet, Mariah…20 years + is still being hailed and remembered for all her classics and hits. Get over it people. There is NO ONE like Mariah Carey, whether you want to admit it or not, she’s truly one of a kind, and this performance only indicates how real she is to her music. Lip syncing?…I swear, you people use ANYTHING to accuse someone. Stop making up faults that are UNTRUE AND FALSE, while you suck the next “big thing’s” d*** until they aren’t s*** and you move on to the next one…s***, isn’t that how h***** is spread? SMH!

    POST 1992 – WHITNEY HAS BEEN KNOWN AS THE VOCAL SAVIOUR!!!!!!!

    BETWWEN 1990 – 1992, MARIAH MAY HAVE HAD 6 NUMBER ONE SINGLES AND YES, HER VOICE WAS SIMPLY EXQUISITE BUT WHEN “I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU” WAS RELEASED – NORTH AMERICA AND INHABITANTS OF THE OTHER CONTINENTS SIMPLY LOST THEIR MINDS. THEN SHE WENT ON THE BODYGUARD TOUR (JUNE 1993 – NOVEMBER 1994) AND WELL, THE REST WAS HISTORY!!!

    MARIAH COULD “SANG”, BUT WHITNEY HAD SOMETHING “EXTRA SPECIAL”!!! AND AFTER 1996, HER VOCAL STRENGTH AND POWER SEEMED TO DIMINSIH!! BUT……

    “SHE’LL NEVER BE M.C” – (DONT FORGET ABOUT US)

    Mariah carey has all those hits okay,fine.However who besides the lames(lambs) remember them? Name one station that plays her music? That’s current format and oldies stations. Vocally 1990-1996 was her peak after that she was just ok

    The Voice title belongs to Whitney.
    We dont need these rehashed lectures on the history of the titles that ppl on read Wikipedia either. The Original Voice title was given to Bing Crosby.

    While while Whitney Houston gave us out of this world vocals during the 80’s
    Mariah was somewhere taking note.

    Im not trying to down Mariah. When she could sing she was second to whitney.
    But stans there is nothing deep or moving about her lyrics or music. She isn’t the best singer. Never has been. There where lessor known during her prime that could out sing her.
    She might have the most #1’s for an solo artist

    However Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time. Get over it.

  63. htjfzgz August 22, 2011

    Also @ Lexus your era’s are all wrong..smh

  64. UrKidding August 22, 2011

    Madonna is like 60 years old and came out looong before Mariah so I hope she has sold a couple more albums than Mariah(Trust Mimi will past her jus as she did Whitney) and Whitney Houston hasn’t been relevant or put out good music in over a decade **blank stare**

    Mariah is the ONLY one from that era who can still put out a hit 2day and add to her legendary status and give these young gerls a run for they money.

    Whitney and Madonna stans kill me. They never could take Mariah and always try and shade her but the numbers speak for themself. “Men & women lie, numbers dont”, Jay Z said it best

  65. UrKidding August 22, 2011

    Come to think of it quite a few stans try and come for Mariah The Queen Of Music

    Christina stans cant take
    JLo stans cant take
    Janet stans got made JD could make hits with Mariah but not Janet
    Even some Bey stans cant take
    Old a** Madonna and Whitney fans could never take, jus look at the posts above

    Thas when you know u a bad bytch in the game. Haters from young to old. She comin too with a new album soon so yall about to be even more mad lol

  66. Truthteller August 22, 2011

    WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON ALWAYS AND FOREVER MORE WILL BE KNOWN AS ‘THE VOICE’

    NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SUCCESS SHE HAD WITH ‘THE BODYGUARD’ VOCALS, TOUR, MOVIE GROSS, CD GROSS, OVER 44MIL CD SOLD WORLDWIDE.

    PHENOMENON NOT TO BE REPEATED.

    And she is coming back to slay in 2 movies next year, Sparkle and Waiting to Exhale 2

    Love Mariah but even Mimi acknowleges Whitney as one of her inspiration and respects her. Fans should do the same.

    Beyonce the same and none of beyonce cds touches whtiney’s first 2 cds or the bodygard or even mylove is yor love in worldwide sales

  67. Truthteller August 22, 2011

    whitney has sold over 175mil records with far less product out. Let’s not get it twisted. Mariah has sold well and good for her and allof the 80s/90s divas will struggle with sales in the us because they are over 40

  68. JohnVidal August 22, 2011

    What more can be said? DIVA MARIAH
    The first 1:40 minutes are enough to slay almost everybody else except for the likes of Whitney and Celine (and no Beyonce could never). And she was just playing with her oustanding whisper register. If you look at all her vocals through all of her career and her albums then it´s just the TOTAL murder of the lessers
    She is just the last big one emerged (Celine and Whitney emerged first). None emerged after 1990 has come close (I laugh so hard when people try hard to put Beyonce or Xtina on that level…). Not to mention the real music these real divas have. The rest can take a seat when they are in the building. That´s it

    Mariah is the one and only SuperDiva who out of the 3 top dogs, Celine Whitney Mariah, the public is still interested in hearing new music from Mariah. She will always be the voice. She layed the ground work for all of today’s singers, that’s why she the voice 🙂

  74. TIMMI August 22, 2011

    @HTJFZGZ

    Ok you need to take a seat in the back corner of the room because you OBVIOUSLY do not have a clue what you are talking about.

    1) People don’t remember Mariah’s hits? Ok, so tracks like “We Belong Together”, “All I Want for Christmas is You”, “One Sweet Day” and “Hero”?

    We Belong Together: won Song of the Decade

    All I Want for Christmas is You: resurfaces at the top of the charts every holiday

    One Sweet Day: Currently slaying a poll by “Rolling Stone” for the best collaboration of all time (see here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/weekend-rock-question-what-is-the-best-collaboration-of-all-time-20110805)

    Hero: Need I actually talk about it? How many TV programs/films/adverts etc. etc. is this song used for? Do you know how much money Mariah makes off the credits off this song? Didn’t the X Factor finalists re-release it and make it a number one?

    I could go on….

    What’s the ONE song by Whitney people remember? “I Will Always Love You”.

    2) Stations play Mariah’s music all the time, I’m always hearing “Always Be My Baby”, “We Belong Together”, etc. etc. why am I even having this discussion? If we’re comparing Mariah and Whitney, Mariah’s music gets more airplay anyway because she has more mid-tempo stuff than Whitney, whose most recent releases have been slower ballads (not to discredit them, but generally, radios play mid to fast tempo music). And what song are you guaranteed to hear if you dare to turn your radio on once in the holidays?

    Thank you very much.

    3) “There is nothing deep or moving about Mariah’s lyrics”? Ok, the tons of directors and music bosses who want Mariah’s music on their shows would disagree, along with all the people who tell Mariah her music saved their life.

    But again, we don’t need to have this argument. However unmoving Mariah’s lyrics are to you, she writes them – point blank. So she will always have one over on Whitney. You must be feeling really sour now.

    4) “However Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time. Get over it.”

    Ok sure, but weren’t we discussing Mariah and Whitney here? In which case, Whitney has yet to catch up with Mariah before she can contemplate reaching where Madonna is.

    At this point, you may go and find somewhere to calm down.

  75. thevoice August 22, 2011

    I see someone jealous of the real “VOICE” that is Ms Whitney Houston.

    Mariah is a great singer but everyone knows that the single most influential vocalist of the past 25 years is Whitney Houston. She has influenced everyone from Mariah to Rihanna, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Monica, Brandy, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Mary J Blige, Britney….basically every single female vocalist has been influenced by Whitney’s voice.

    And whoever said IWALY was the “only” WH song people know of is an idiot.

  76. jacc August 22, 2011

    Anyone who thinks that a lamb naming Mariah “The Voice” over & over again will make her the voice is just thinking too much. We all know WHITNEY is The Voice and no one will take that away from her.

    Sam is just trying to create feud that never existed in the first place. There will only be one person called “THE VOICE” and that is definitely not Mariah.

    @TIMMI

    ALSO, “I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU” MAY BE THE PRIMARY SONG PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH IN TERMS OF WHITNEY HOUSTON’S DISCOGRAPHY…

    BUT “I HAVE NOTHING, MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE I WANNA DANCE DANCE WITH SOMEBODY, THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL (HER VERSION ESPECIALLY), SAVING ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU, YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE, DIDN’T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL & ITS NOT RIGHT, BUT ITS OKAY” ARE SONGS THAT HAVE A LEGACY THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY WORLDWIDE CONTINUE TO SING!!!

    THEN AGAIN, PEOPLE DO NOT NECESSARILY REMEMBER WHITNEY’S MUSIC, BUT HER LEGENDARY LIVE PERFORMANCES!!! BUT I STILL AGREE WITH YOU!!!

    @THEVOICE

    Why are you responding directly to my post but indirecting? We don’t need to play childish games here this is merely a discussion about Mariah and Whitney, two artists I have great respect for.

    First things first, you OBVIOUSLY didn’t read my previous post and only read my big one, so you can scroll up a bit and catch up with the times then come correct. I have already gave Whitney the title of “The Voice” so I don’t know where you are getting your jealousy accusations from but you can throw them out the window.

    In terms of Whitney having much more influence than Mariah, I beg to differ. When I watch programs like “X Factor”, “American Idol” etc. I often find there are much more people influenced by Mariah Carey, which is just my honest observation. In fact, a majority of the artists you mentioned yourself have noted Mariah Carey as an influence, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKSTGbftL6I

    A lot of them are more so influenced by Mariah than they are by Whitney. There is a 2001 interview by Beyonce in which she states that when she heard “Vision of Love” she decided she had to be a singer. The footage is on YouTube. And Mariah wasn’t the first to do the whole rapper/singer collaboration thing but she plays a MASSIVE role in taking it to the level it has reached today. And look how popular that is…

    I didn’t say IWALY is the only song people know of. I said it’s the one song people remember, which might not be strictly true but I am almost certain that if you went around asking people to say a hit by Whitney, that’s the one they would instantly think of. In comparison to Mariah, you would get such a broad range of answers. Some people remember her for “Hero”, some remember her for “All I Want for Christmas is You” and some would think of “We Belong Together”, amongst others.

    @LEXUS!!!

    Yeah I read your era lists and agreed, take no notice of @HTJFZGZ he doesn’t have a CLUE! One quick search on Google would shut his ass down.

    Even though Mariah’s voice changed, she is still great with the raspy, lower voice. This wasn’t the best performance i’ve seen from her.

  85. J.K.R. August 23, 2011

    The legendary Mariah Carey aka THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD.

  86. Ranjit August 24, 2011

    fully supported on the lower and high registers. And, as always, uncannily on pitch. Best singer since Barbra Streisand.

  87. THEMAN August 26, 2011
