Mariah Carey - Hero - Live, Capitol Hill, Washington, May 1996
Музыка
Front-on footage, Peace Officer's Memorial Servce, May 15th, 1996
Apologies for the watermark and resolution, this all that is publicly available. I don't think any distraction will last for long because of quality of the performance ;-) As far as I understand this video is in the public domain.
This is Mariah at her peak singing at a time where Hero had taken on a whole new wonderful form. This was a passing period that I feel was a special part of her career. Despite being at her peak and giving a very emotional performance, I believe her vocal cords were suffering an allergic-type response to one or more factors, nervousness being surely one. You can hear the difference, for example two months later in the London concert of her tour - there is not a drop of vocal tension and her performance of there is, I believe, her very best of this song and perhaps of all her songs.
This, however is also a blinding and equally uniquely special performance.

Mariah is in a league of her own. I'm afraid there will never be a voice like this ever again. We certainly did not cherish the 90s like we should have.
Even though this is her daydream voice, you can start to hear her butterfly color troughout the entire performance... this version is completely different from the original one, like a butterfly-ish version of the song, with her daydream voice.

@@anggiansyahpohan5357 A bit too late for this but vocal nodules are bump/s in the vocal folds which are caused by singers using their voice improperly, acid reflux, overusing the voice etc. If you're a person who relies on their voice for income (eg a singer, a radio dj), nodules are hell. Most singers can't even sing with this vocal malfunction but Mariah found a way to work with her damaged chords (resulting to her 'natural' whistle register) but in time these nodules worsened because of aging and other factors.
