Here Is Mariah Carey is a 1993 video album by American recording artist
Mariah Carey. It presents her singing at Proctor's Theatre (pictured) in
Schenectady, New York, and also includes non-concert footage. Carey
performs ten songs; four are from her third studio album Music Box
(1993), which her record label, Columbia, commissioned the hour-long
video to promote. She is sporadically accompanied by a band, a choir,
dancers, and string players. In creating the stage for the performance,
production designers sought inspiration from works by Boris Aronson and
Josep Maria Jujol. Television network NBC broadcast it on November 25,
1993, to an audience of 19 million. Columbia Music Video released it on
VHS five days later to generally positive reviews from critics. It
received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry
Association of America and was one of the best-selling video albums of
1994 and 1995 in the United States.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never erase a
people’s love for liberty. Brutality will never grind down their will
to be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia — for free
people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. We will
have a different future — a brighter future rooted in democracy and
principle, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and
possibilities. For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power. God
bless you all. And may God defend our freedom. And may God protect our
troops.
