As even the loyalest of Mariah Carey‘s “Lambs” would confirm, the diva’s vocals have enjoyed jaw-dropping highs as well as unfortunate lows.
However, the 43-year-old was in incredible form this week during a “festive” moment with fans after a taping of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
On the taped segment of the show, Mimi surprised her supporters by walking in mid-way through their exclusive listening session of her new single ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ (click here to watch the video).
Yet, the real fun took place in this behind the scenes footage taped by camp Carey.
The songbird, along with a pianist and backing vocalists, thrilled the elated Lambs with an impromptu jam session – fusing together the instrumentation of one of our favorite cuts (ever) ‘Fly Like A Bird’, as well as new single ”Letting Go’.
Peep the must-see showing after the jump…
Yes, yes, and yes!
It’s so warming to see that beyond the backing tracks, clever pre-records, and so-so material, Mimi can still sang! She sounded phenomenal and, in the process, potently reminded that she has an alien, other-worldly gift versus a learned-talent.
Let’s just hope it’s used on better material in the run-up to the release of her new album next year.

Hey hey hey
SANG MARIAH
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Mariah Carey IS Mariah Carey! That was simply fantastic! Seeing her go off on her tangents all while demonstrating her control and range was the best. She is the damn truth!!!
Mariah just doing what she does best.
I wanna hear someone saying this was lipped also.
Yes!!! Yes!!!!!! Yes!!!!! THIS is the Mariah is loved! Straight sangin! No playback, no overdubs, no lipping just pure SANGIN!!!! She sounds AMAZING!
Are you deaf? That was totally lipping!
what does being deaf have to do with your “LIPs” . just because it was flawless doesnt mean it was fake… #BasicAssComment we’ll leave that to Rhianna
That’s why i love Mariah
Legendary!!!!!
She sounds so good !!
Haters is ghost. She still got that voice.
That voice….WOW.That’s why you can’t ever spell MusiC without MC
I know TGJ was going to post this. The other blog did a similar post today, only that including Celine Dion too and some singing she did before Le Banquier show. The title of the article was something like “Mariah and Celine outsing your favorite artists” LOL It was hilarious. And with a Whitney gif at the end.
I mean, I swear it´s hilarious how vocally above they are still now in 2013 after so much work, so many years, and obvious decline. I mean, they slay. Why is any mainstream artist from this generation even getting an award?????
And this is why Mariah is a legendary mother she went in her vocals are like no others she gives me chills. 10s across the board!
Ya’ll notice how the haters are not here? You cant hate on this. And it only shows that the hits come from constant hate.
she just shut everyone up about her vocals even Sam shady ass had nothing to say
Where Is everyone this morning?? Oops. that’s right.
NOWHERE TO BE F***** FOUND.
LAdies & Gents this is a real singer-songwriter.
None of yall faves could freestyle like this
Infact, she shouldve called out other singer in this and READ THEM DOWN lol
LOL at the @TROLLbird @TROLLsie and @Kmart_TROLL and @HOT_TROLL shade
They are nowhere to be found when it comes to talent and enjoying music.
Flawless, but it’s to expected from the Goddess of vocals.
basic vocals she was not all that. beyonce runs are so much more agile and precise. just retire already
No shade to Beyonce but she is a spring chicken compared to Mariah…, I wish Beyonce a successful career into her 40’s and beyond and she can sing very well but let’s not pretend her well rehearsed singing alone is what keeps her stock afloat.
B**** beyonce is a robot.. she will NEVER be able to improvise like this on the spot
What are you smoking?
Stop using beyonces name in an attempt to get her dragged.
this is why I will always be a mimi fan…decades after decades, the broad is still a bad bish, doing her own thing..no need to brag about how great she is..
boss bish right there..
we all know madonna is the queen of pop, and britney is the princess of pop…the queen herself always made it clear that britney is next in line to take her throne…
both bishes are legends when it comes to the pop world..
you cannot compare icons like rihanna to legends..rihanna has the potential to become the next pop princess once britney becomes queen…
Yasssssss Mariah!
Omg… She just f***** slayed!!
I heard someone say “Sang Girl”
LOL Omfg yaaaaaaaasssssss! She slayed. And Sam please can you please stop this? You change your mind about Mariah´s voice once every week. Just admit she can SANG, even in 2013 after so much vocal work for so many years, and move on.
Better material? The song she just released is just fantastic. Not being commercial shouldn´t matter since you are supposed to be a quality lover right?
Also, Celine Dion is another one who buries any girl out there right now below 35 years old. I mean Mariah and Celine´s talent is still bigger in their 40´s than the rest of young ladies. A shame that radio doesn´t support people over 35 years old. That´s why we have low standards nowadays. Although even without radio support, Celine just debuted with the highest first week sales in Canada since 2008 with this new album, also debuted #2 in the USA and the UK, and went #1 on itunes albums charts in 41 countries. I mean, slayage. Imagine if radio could leave the trash behind and support these ladies. They would still sell albums a la Adele, like they did so many times before.
True words John, true words.
Must you talk about how they slay the mainstream girls in every post of yours? We get it. But let’s not act like most of Mariah’s performances from this decade haven’t been horrible/lipped. 🙄
co-signed x
She can obviously still sing and hit the whistles…
I wish Mariah would do a jazz album. After seeing a small clip on youtube of her singing jazz i was taken.
Although i may never get another emacipation i am happy to be getting bits of good music. People on her say flop, fat and other names but at this point Mariah has nothing to prove as she is already a living legend, and although may now focus on sales and itunes charts and youtube i remember the days when you used to line up outside a record store for Mariah, M.J and whitney albums like people do now with iphones. I’ll be interested to know if all these artists that people are squarking about now will have long successful
I think she be saving her vocals or some s***. Sounds strange I know, but she does lip sync but was not lip syncing here and sounded good…I don’t know!
Well I must apologise for doubting this LEGEND would find her voice back..
But the signs where there while she was pregnant with dem babies that she was on the way back.
THAT IS MARIAH right here…
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
She was so damn funny as well. Her and this lighting business lol
Legend. She is flawless. TBH these are the best live vocals I’ve heard from her in YEARS. She sounds well-rested and all. I am so here for this. I was underwhelmed by “The Art of Letting Go” (still annoyed she didn’t release “Almost Home” one of her best ballads of the past 10 years…it would’ve SLAYED the charts if she gave it the official single treatment I’m sure). Regardless, even though her voice has changed a lot, this proves to any naysayers that she’s still got it!!!
HA!!! that voice is everything!
OKAY MIMI!!! *fingersnaps*
I’m throwing the GLITTER on you darrrrrrrrllllliing
F****** Yesssss Mimi! I loved it! She should sing in her lower register more often. Loving the smoky jazzy feel.
Where the haters at?
Lol loving that the Haters are GHOST right now.., you can’t come for her stats or her songwriting ability but up until now it has sure been easy for haters to stay circling around the topic of her ‘declining voice’ like rabid vultures. I have suspected that Mariah’s vocal issues are seasonal and that despite the phenomenal ability that her voice is very susceptible to allergies and hayfever and a lot of other factors. This clip right here is proof that Mariah’s voice is far from damaged and that likely when she sounds off there are contributing factors imparing the sound.
I’m comment #60.
Well, well, well.
The Mariah posts usually have far more comments than this. Oh, is it because she proved, again, that she is an undeniable force with her vocals? LOL!
You can’t come at her about charts. You can’t come at her about talent. Oops…nothing left I guess.
Sang Mariah!
Yes. The shady hating comments are nill, null, crickets. Even though Sam TGJ couldn’t complete a full SHADE free blog post he knew better than to try to come for her vocals on this EPIC STUNNING and LIVE vocal performance. she paid this site and every single troll DUST with this POST. SHe slayed and gave everyone in that room and outside LIFE
ooooooohhh that is so sweet of you Mimi! This is the girl that I know! The real singer!!! That’s what I love about you! go and slay all those basic b****** that’s dominating the airwaves!!
You lambs are worst than Britney fans. The b**** sings LIVE for the first time in years and all of the sudden everyone should bow down? She did sound great tho, but it wasn’t amazing. Stop, MC has a great voice, but she was never a great LIVE vocal performer. I would put Beyonce above MC when it comes to singing LIVE.
Clean your ears out then go have several seats in a corner.

Amazing
Hey assholes,
F*** you and the “backing tracks, clever pre-records, and so-so material” b*******.
And you’re wrong: Mimi can’t still “sang!” She can “sing.” Quit your ridiculous urban ebonics and stop representing your people as stereotypes with third-grade educations.
She has always sounded “phenomenal” and has always had an “alien, other-worldly gift.”
xoxo
So southern whites who also say “sang” have third grade educations? I could give a f*** less what people think of me. My bank account is just fine. SAAAAANG MIMI!
fake. predictable. stock. boring. attention w****.
It’s amazing how she proves the haters and naysayers wrong. Not only can she still sang, but she still has that amazing control that made her so special. I’m pretty sure your fave isn’t talented enough to make up a song on the spot and freestlyle like this.
Slayriah, Queenriah, Legendriah!!
how do you lipsync a “free style” foo?! with live piano and giggles/talking in between… your life is one big lipsync.. #AND Im not even a Mariah fan…but she did that!
