Diva Mariah Carey performed at the Etisalat’s 3rd Anniversary celebration in Egypt on Monday. During her set, the songbird, 40, took a stab at her classic ‘Without You’. Check out how she fared below…
Though clearly singing the verses, and lipping the choruses, ol’ Mimi didn’t do as bad a job as expected.
Randomness: Important to stress; no one is throwing shade, rather acknowledging that Mariah’s attempts at some of her more vocally demanding hits of yesteryear often don’t yield great results. In Ms. Carey-Cannon’s defence, though, she’s wisely tailored her newer offerings (‘Emancipation’ era onwards) to fitting her ‘new’, more limited voice. Whatever works, ay?
No thanks.

Hmmm she sounds bad
hmm next, she does not sound good and she needs to stop with the lipping- cant stand artists who fakes it. Her voice is damaged, the cats out the bag, just lower the key and sing live! ugghh!
and she’s coming with a new album this year- bad move
it wasn’t bad at all!
why don’t you post whitney’s or any other female artists live performances back to back with MC and let’s see who will eat dust!!!
WOW…The dude running this site has a hearing problem or just plain JEALOUS … Mariah was obviously singing LIVE (even in the chorus) and sounded great!!! And this is a hard song (vocally) and she still sings it beautifully!!
sound like s***, hope she get her voice back, poor thing
I see your spewing hate as usual… True her voice isn’t what it used to be but she sounded well.. I guess it’s easy to sit behind your blog and talk s***.. whatever!
Mariah sounds like a squealing p**.
She totally lipsynched this like no one can recognize this???? LMAO where’s the live voice she used to have. well for the parts that she sang live, she sounds a hot mess.
@FIERCEMC
Well here’s Whitney’s performance – 100% live, she’s way past her prime but she still sounds better than Mariah. Both Whitney and Mariah are way past their prime, but Whitney sings live, while Mariah lipsynchs. Mariah didn’t sound too bad in this video, but she’s lipsynching and that’s what I’m having issues with. I would forgive a singer for lipsynching if she’s dancing or doing an uptempo song, but Without You is a ballad. Mariah should be ashamed of lipsynching!

I agree with whoever mentioned Whitney. She has apparently been sounding like horrible pure s*** live and I noticed that you guys haven’t posted not one of her performances as of late.
Mariah has her good days and her bad days but at the end of the day and unlike Whitney, she can STILL SING.
Her voice received marvelous reviews on her last tour. Whitney’s cracked out voice has been receiving the most awful reviews with a number of fans complaining and storming out.
You chose that ONE song with Mariah apparently not singing so well lol. You won’t find too many bad vocal performances from Mariah. She looks stunning by the way.
Still Spittin’ Dat Poison Sam…?!
I Dnt Get Tha Whole Hatin’ Thing U Got Goin 4 Mariah….Need 2 Grow Up.
She Is Best-Sellin’ Female Artist Of All Time 4 A Reason Ya Kno….Bin In Tha Game For Over 20yrs Now….Once You Got Dem Billboard Figures & Over $300 Million Stacked In Tha Bank….Let Me Kno…!
Like Me….Hate Aint Gnna Keep Tha B**** Down….Gyal A Critically Acclaimed Superstar….Haha…!

I’m a big Whitney fan and I’m not so much Mariah’s. I do appreciate her music. I think their both legends and deserve respect! Their accomplishments speak for itself and there is absolutely nothing left to prove. Yes, they’re voices aren’t what it use to be, but both have good and bad days! I’ve seen them both pull some trick from under their sleeves that people probably didn’t know they could! Give them a break and stop with the negativity. I want them both to win! … and I have nothing but love for them both!
ROTFL At Whale trapped in a bathing suit. Mariah fared well here. I too wasconcerned when I came actoss this headline in my feeds lol.
SHE WAS DEF .. Singing Live, and YES She Doesn’t have the Vocal Control that She used To Have , but She Better Do it .. I Have Seen her Live in Hollywood, FL @ The Hard Rock , and I Gagged on how Her Voice was .. She will Always Be an ICON, (LEGEND), DIVA … Love you Mimi !! (#1 Lamb)
She got $1,500,000 for it so u can’t say anything
Great job MARIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU will always be the best!
Not bad, this was actually the song that got me interested in Mariah in the first place. I remember buying the cassette single that Without You and Never forget you on the other side. it was the first mariah purchase I ever made.
I still love this song and love her. wish i could have been there to see it live.
Good job MC!
People can say what they want about Mariah’s voice, but at the end of the day, she’s still sounding better than Whiney: hence the reason TGJ have not posted any recent offerings from Whitney. More to the point, why do people always have to say she lips certain parts, when its clear there was no lipping? Its pathetic, I dont get why some people just cant give credit where its due. Granted, Mariah does not sound as good as she used to and its true, she has changed some of her earlier songs to suit her voice in its current state. But whats wrong with that? Aretha, Barbara, Patti, Chaka, have all done that. Whitney just gets background singers to do the hard work. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that your voice has changed. The difference between Mariah and Whitney is that Mariah’s voice has changed, but she can still sang. Whereas Whitney’s voice has just gone.
mariahs voice, is in fine form. her voice isnt the same as it was 20 yrs ago, but who cant mariah still sing circles around ? Mariah is one of the most technical singers of our generation, who has ever done a mariah song justice ? even touch my body isnt a easy song to sing, its just not. With out you is a song that is nothing but vocal prowess. Her recent tour reviews have been very well, her voice being praised by most critics. I dont know what she has to prove, mariah still does what she needs to do, when she wants too. her voice has so many different colors, its amazing what this women has and can do. she didnt lose her voice all of a sudden after TEOM era, really sam. Obviously you don’t know her work. Memoirs was an amazing record, which most critcs agreed, it didnt sell well, so you as many people do, assume it sucked, which it did not.
Mariah carey – help me make it.
im done.
im the last person to say Whitney is doing a great job on her tour, but that has nothing to do with the way Mariah sounds on this and she is clearly lip-synching when she turns her head and do the dramatic hand thing she is not singing at all, her real voice can be heard over top of the track sounds out of breath and breaking
I’m going to be honest, Mariah Carey can sing her behind off. The problem is that she doesn’t take breaks and she is always trying to stay relevant by continuing to put album after album out. If she rests her voice, she wouldn’t sound hoarse all of the time like it does now.
And why do people always bring money and sales into everything. We’re talking about her singing.
All people saying she’s lipping on this performance obviously don’t know s*** about music!
FYI yes there is something ,called backing track to enchance the result, but this doesn’t mean that the singer who uses the backing track is lipping!
Mariah sang live the whole song. She just sings along with the backing track on the chorus!
As for the comments about Whitney-Mariah comparisons, they are ridiculous! Whitney had once a beautiful voice. Nowadays she has no voice while Mariah can still sing her ass off!
So stop hating and start giving credit to real artists!
MC always imitated never duplicated!
STAY MAD
Mariah did it good. Better than whitney!!! New music of mariah is coming to end of year kiss!!!!!!
I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE SAY SHE SOUNDED SO BAD SHE DIDNT SOUND BAD TO ME!!! SHE STILL SOUNDED BETTER THAN RIHANNA, KELLY ROWLAND, ETC! THE ONLY THING SHE NEEDS TO DO IS LOSE SOME WEIGHT. I NOTICE WHEN SHE GAINS WEIGHT HER VOICE IS MORE LIMITED THEN WHEN THINNER, ANDS WHOEVER SAID WHITNEY SOUNDED BETTER THAN MC U MUST BE CRACK WHITNEY HAS NO UPPER REGISTER TO SPEAK OF ITS SAD REALLY HOW SHE EVEN TRIES TO SING ANY MORE SHE NEED TO JUST FIND NEW ARTIST AND BE A LABEL HEAD OR SOMETHING LOL
Girl bye she sounded a mess & she was singing with the track too. “The Constipation of Moo Moo!”
I hate the fat b**** but what the fck are u talkin about? Im adrssing the person tha posted this article.
F****** sounds FANTASTIC! Absolutely fantastic. I was expceting to listen to some shtty ass vocals but this wasnt the case
In fact she belted out the song amazingly good.
It appears Fat cow F****** still has it, Weedney is the one thats DEAD!
********FUNNY THING: 95% of the comments agree wit me and disagree wit da person who posted the article. LMFAO!*******
this is not lipped.
love it!
U haters can F9*&^ urselves..
Mariah rules no matter wat u wag ur tougues about!
What is with your (disturbingly) compulsive need to make Mariah look bad every chance you get.? Is it because she is still able to sing well while the diva you worship cannot? I can’t help but notice that you haven’t posted any of Whitneys atrocious performances of late. Biased much? FYI, just because you choose not to post them, doesn’t mean that most people don’t know they exist. ; )
Hero was the last song of a thirteen song set, so cut Mariah a little slack. After twelve songs her voice isn’t going to be as fresh as it was during the beginning of the show. All of the reviews I’ve read said that Mariah sounded wonderful. After watching the video, I concur.
^ That should be Without You, not Hero. Forgive the error, I’ve been up since three in the morning.
I think her performance was good. I think people’s expectations of Mariah are unrealistic. She sounds the same she did when she recorded the song. Yes, there is a difference in her singing technique, but she sounds the same. This is the kind of performance people like to see. Know one likes when she tries to act 13 years old, wears k-mart mini dresses, and lip sings. People like Mariah to sing so there is no need to be mean to her for sounding good singing live.
great performance! Though some parts were lipped. The live ones were very good. Curious the vocals on her new album.
Mariah is still the best singer and vocalist in the world… I just don’t see anybody coming to take her crown…
SOUNDS GOOD 2 ME.
At least whitney has an excuse, not using her voice for over ten years and her addictions. what is mariah’s excuse, obesity?, compared to where whitney was 3 years ago to now her voice has been improving leaps and bounds, mariah still can’t sing live to save her fat ass. Prediction! by december whitney will be back to her old self.
@SOWHIITNEYWHIPPED
Yeah, back to crack…???
@Bobby from Bulgaria, shouldn’t you be hunting deer or something, and the crack joke must be about your mother.
