This is one Mariah Carey's best songs. I just love it. I think she captured the essence of "bubblegum" pop of 1999 and coupled it with actual musicality and lyricism haha. It's beautiful. Now, in terms of her singing live or not, I do think it's just the track playing; however, their mics are on. The background vocalists are adding extra harmony/vocals, and some of the harmonies are just louder. And starting at 2:02-2:09 Mariah added some harmony/vocal. Also, Trey Lorenz is particularly audible.
Someone said she always uses playbacks during TV performances. I'd believe that because she there's were lots of lipped TV performances even when she didn't need it. They used to lip on soul train too and there's actually a video of Bill Withers on ST looking like his mom was recording him and telling him to sing that lil song he was just singing for Facebook cause he didn't like lipping. I guess it's just a thing.
@wrestlingfan1616 LOL I love Mariah, and I love her voice... WHY do you think I covered so many of her songs?? I'm just telling you, they're singing to a playback track. SO is Joe. He's not singing live either. When artists sing in different countries... they usually sing to a backing track OR complete playback.
@chawlaybua But do you have any actual facts? Did Mariah tell you she was singing to a playback? Not all artists sing playback when they're in different countries. Mariah has said in interviews before that she doesn't lip sync or use a backing track in very supportive countries that she doesn't go to very often. For instance Italy, Japan, and France. Just letting you know. :-) Glad to know you're a fan.
@chawlaybua Hater... it's so sad that your envy of her has blinded you and you cant even see that she IS singing live and also having fun as well. Hopefully in the future you'll be more open minded. God Bless! :-D
Love how she has the butterfly era look in rainbow era (:

Great performance, Wishing Mariah love and strength in her coping with Bipolar Disorder. I love you Mariah Carey
This is such a peaceful song...
She so beautiful
The effects in the back are soo cool :) Mariah's beautiful!
This is such a good performance despite the lip synching. It was so believable and she gave me looks and it seemed like she had fun!
Live my ass.
I love you MImi though

i love her.but i think this live is lip-sync...
It's rainbow era and this song is very easy for her to sing.
This is
When artists on promotional tours they use the album version sometimes not all the time but sometimes
I think AMA is the only live version of this
It's only that fun singing when you're singing to a PLAYBACK track. lol.
There isn't enough room for that much smiling when it's the real thing.
steel? lol
