10. Mariah Carey, "Vision of Love" (Grammys, 1991)

Truly, a vision of Mariah; just 20 years old, and already carrying the confidence of an artist who knew she'd be dueting with Whitney Houston on even footing by decade's end. Carey's inaugural Grammys performance already saw the singer in full beast mode, tracing her unprecedented vocal runs with her hands and occasionally running out of room in the process; not excessively showy but unafraid of demonstrating, I can do these things that nobody else can do. America took heed: After her performance and best new artist win, Mariah's self-titled debut LP shot to the top of the Billboard 200 and stayed there for 11 weeks.

lol is being "pre-recorded" in the pop world really a legit criticism?

 

Except there are 100% live performances on this list that deserved a higher position & some of them were better than Beyoncé's imo.
