Following the success of Carey's previous two albums and the growing critical commentary on her lack of concert tours and unsubstantial televised performances, Sony BMG organised a performance show at the Kaufman Astoria Studios, New York on March 16, 1992. The show, titled MTV Unplugged, originally aired on MTV to help promote Carey's then album Emotions, as well as help shun critics who deemed Carey a possible studio artist. With that said, the lead single from Carey's MTV Unplugged album was her riveting cover of the Jackson 5 classic "I'll Be There" with the assistance of Trey Lorenz. As we celebrate Mariah Carey's birthday aka anniversary I thought it would be nice to revisit her iconic performance!
