    No, she wasn't. I guess it's tough to accept that Mariah beat your precious Madonna AGAIN.

    She was most definitely lip synching - only the back up singers were singing live. That was a really bad performance… some DIVA huh????? You'd think by now she'd atleast learn how lip sync and make it look real. She's OVER!

    The fact that you even have to ASK says enough about her talent…. that was live through and through.

    Though WTF were her backing singers doing??? Why they tryin to hit the notes? they sound SHIT!

  28. Scientist82 says – reply to this

    I thought she was for like 2 seconds but sometimes it seemed like she was singing too soft but then she brought it like she usually does and was like yup she is singing live and she was awesome :)

    I thought she WAS!! Sorta half and half - at the beginning it really seemed like it and then at the end not.

  33. skippy says – reply to this

    Perez, it was live. Mariah is a talented singer. I will say the choice of song wasn't the best. Much like Dolly Parton's song.
    Mimi should have done something to get the crowd on its feet.
    But it is live.

  34. sarahcuda says – reply to this

    Of course she was Lip Synching.
    Must admit, it's a nice song. Considering it's mariah…

  38. Steve says – reply to this

    SHE SANG LIVE, Perez… and I have to admit, the girl has pipes.

  41. DC SAM says – reply to this

    Live. Her belting is always on point. She may struggle on the lower notes. I dont understand though. We she sings her older material (POP) she really delivers. But its a hit or miss with the more current R&B material. But she sounds good on AI. I still think Love Story shouldve been her second single.

  42. KinCanada says – reply to this
    42

    Nope, she's def not she's just that good….p.s. re-listen to the album version of feedback - WAY better than the SNL performance

  43. Christine says – reply to this

    You know she was!

    Cant stand her but she did sound live… couldnt even hold a convo with simon tho… terrible

  45. seriously says – reply to this

    Yea it sounds better than the other performnances

  46. RobinMI says – reply to this
    46

    She is singing to the album version, so her vocal is already "in the mix". they mixed her live vocal in with it. The viewer is getting her live vocal mixed in (low) with her processed album voice.

  47. butterflygirl says – reply to this

    ps. Im so glad she pulled herself together and got back on track, no one can really deny shes pretty awsome.

  51. LJ says – reply to this
    51

    I don't think that was live. Pre-recorded with background vocals and what was up with that cracked high note? I'm sorry… Mariah is not the same anymore…

  52. LABW says – reply to this

    I was totally thinking the same thing.

  72. krista says – reply to this

    she totally WAS NOT lipsynching.

  73. Kelly says – reply to this
    73

    She was most definitely not singing the last whole section in her upper register. Why?!? Go to utube and see old school Mariah circa 91 could sing her face off. How does one lose her voice? Such a shame that she's aspiring to sound like other, less talented singers. Either that or she truly can't sing anymore which I don't understand.

    I THINK SHE LIP-SYNCHED ALL THE HIGH PITCHED POP..LOVE HER BUT HONEY CANT HIT HER HIGH NOTES ANYMORE..SHE NEEDS TO LOSE THE BLACK DRESS
