Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey Perform 'When You Believe' Live at the Oscars
In March 1999, Mariah Carey teamed up with Whitney Houston for a breathtaking performance of "When You Believe" at the Oscars, a moment that showcased both their incredible vocal talents and the deep connection between the two iconic singers. Just prior to this live recording, Carey had released her landmark album "Rainbow" in late 1999, which included hits like "Heartbreaker" and further cemented her place in pop culture. This duet at the Oscars was not only a defining moment for both artists but also represented a collaboration of two powerful forces in music history. Fun fact: the film "The Prince of Egypt," for which the song was created, won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, highlighting the song's immense impact beyond the live performance.
