Trey Lorenz

artists the ability to do was to reimagine uh these songs in front of this smaller audience it was a much more intimate crowd um but it also gave them an opportunity quite frankly to your point to show off their chops like can you can you rock this kind of crowd and to that point There are so many unplugged performances that I absolutely love, but when I think of Black MTV unplugged performances that really made an impact on me, and I was like, oh, snap.

Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz doing I'll Be There was such a moment in time.

Now, we should also contextualize this moment for Mariah Carey.

This is really key.

And not only could she reproduce it, She showed us who her influences were, like through these performances, like you clearly got to see like Mariah in this way.

So even just her and Trey doing I'll Be There, which was a super interesting choice, was unique.

But Mariah bodied and Trey Lorenz bodied.

And it was like not even a thing.
