Well if EVERYTHING ELSE gets its own thread, WHY NOT THIS?

to me this is more exciting than the Rarities.




the vocals :o :disco: 3:00 onwards in that Make It Happen perf :o I can hear God!!!
 
I seriously cannot fathom that the vocals are live on One Sweet Day. INSANE

Just Be Good To Me is the true gift from this live set though :disco:
 
I love the Hero vocals

I’ve been playing it all morning :shy:
 
She just absolutely SOARS on this
 
Not feeling the love for Hero on this. It sounds rather laboured and she’s even off key at a couple of moments. Yeah the belts sound good, but on the whole I’m not super impressed. The studio version sounds so effortless, but I’ve yet to hear a live version that lives up to it.
 
I have overused all my superlatives in the last six months, so how to describe what happens to me during THAT Hero middle-eight. The vocals. The power. The control. The resonance.

TAKE. MY. WIG.
 
The way her vocals snake around the melody in Without You. Your. Fave. Could. Never.

Unless your fave is Imperialeriah :disco:

I don't know why and I know it's WRONG but I'm not bothered about live performances of her really well-known material

You And I, If Only You Knew/Over The Rainbow, With You I'm Born Again of course, but another version of Hero, ABMB, Dreamlover... it doesn't really get me going
 
since it's OCTOBER I'm going to BREAK THE FESTIVE SEAL by listening to AIWFCIY (LIVE AT THE TOKYO DOME) :disco:

I wonder if this is what CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN feels like :o

PROBABLY NOT! (@Diddy to confirm pls)
 
did not realise we were getting VIDEO too :o



that's another evening's entertainment this week sorted

(the opening LEWK with the leather jacket is :disco:)
 
I was listening to Vision of Love on my headphones and it's the closest thing to the Holy Spirit there is.
 
I'm completely obsessed with Just Be Good to Me. I'd never heard her take on it before. what a fucking SONG.

in the MORNIN'
in the AAAAAF-TER-NOON-OR-EVE-NIN'


:disco:!
 
Watching this at the moment

the complete non-reaction to her sheepishly using some Japanese phrases SENT ME as they say on tiktok
 
How much of these vocals are truly live please?

I sense a lil' DUBBING moment here and there

I fancy 90s Wanya from Boyz II Men so much

I'm really enjoying some of the NONPLUSSED faces in the audience shots
 
The hair and outfits were choices

The backing singers are FAB

She has rhythm! I see you stepping from side to side on the beat MC
 
It's so weird to watch her not duck the high notes (mostly)
 
I Don't Wanna Cry... I ascended

This section really having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES (Pepsi ringtone out now)

I'm so used to the 'if it sounds great it's not live' latter day Mariah perf rule of thumb that I can't watch this fairly :D
 
Why would anyone be CROSSING THEIR ARMS acting all NONCHALANT at this Queen's concert? Ugh
 
I’m used to Japanese people losing their total shit in concerts too! It’s not like Sweden :D

I guess it was a different time
They still try to make those pubey beards happen now though

There are lots of happy people obviously

but poor Mariah having to perform with this energy in your face

sorry Chapel of Hope Choir, nobody put a microphone anywhere near any of you

but thanks for flying over and nice swaying
 
Sorry still talking about Hero because I just put it back on but I think this version is now the definitive version for me

Some of the notes she hits are just exceptional. And totally floored me

I don’t remember ever hearing her really go to town on it like that :shock:
 
Yes! And even though she absolutely goes to town, she really is in such command throughout, there’s not a minute where I thinks she overreaches or over eggs it. It’s literally perfect.
