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

NO BITCH! IT IS LIVE!
Liz says – reply to this

22

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!

PjW says – reply to this

27

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!
Scientist82 says – reply to this

28

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

SK says – reply to this

32

I thought she WAS!! Sorta half and half - at the beginning it really seemed like it and then at the end not.
skippy says – reply to this

33

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.
sarahcuda says – reply to this

34

fer sure…..not a live performance
vsr says – reply to this

35

DianaW says – reply to this

36

I considered that she was…and then I told myself she wouldn't be so stupid…
Crazy Lady says – reply to this

37

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

SHE SANG LIVE, Perez… and I have to admit, the girl has pipes.
DC SAM says – reply to this

41

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.
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
Christine says – reply to this

43

You know she was!
CAIT*** says – reply to this

44

Cant stand her but she did sound live… couldnt even hold a convo with simon tho… terrible
seriously says – reply to this

45

Yea it sounds better than the other performnances
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.
butterflygirl says – reply to this

47

That was live!

ps. Im so glad she pulled herself together and got back on track, no one can really deny shes pretty awsome.
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…
LABW says – reply to this

52

I was totally thinking the same thing.

krista says – reply to this

72

she totally WAS NOT lipsynching.
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.
TASHA says – reply to this

74

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

91

I think it's live. There may have been a bit of prerecorded stuff, but she was singing.
Maralee says – reply to this

92

I could not have been more bored. Am I the only one who finds Mariah obnoxious and overrated? She sucked. She probably did lipsynch. God forbid she should sound anything less than robotic. Skank!
lisa says – reply to this

93

That WAS a live performance. I thought she actually did a great job

jmj says – reply to this

96

petes dream says – reply to this

97

I did not get far enough into the song to be able to tell. I would love to hang out with her as she seems very funny and cool, but her music? I hit fast Forward….
Enough! says – reply to this

98

Perez…I can't stand the woman, but it's getting pathetic now. I know you are pissed cause she called you out and how you can't talk about other artists, but this hate really needs to stop. Quit trying to "create" posts and shit and post some real gossip. Your damn site the last few weeks during the week has been like checking it out on the weekend….totally dead.
Mike says – reply to this

99

No, she wasn't. Get over it Perez.
jodi says – reply to this
