About
“I’ll Be There” is a cover of the famous Jackson 5 hit of the same name. Mariah Carey had included “I’ll Be There” as a last-minute addition to her MTV Unplugged setlist, after she had been informed that most acts on the show commonly perform at least one cover. “I’ll Be There” was the sixth track on Carey’s MTV Unplugged special, taped on March 16, 1992. It was performed as a romantic duet, with Carey singing Michael Jackson’s lines and R&B singer Trey Lorenz singing Jermaine Jackson’s lines. Mariah spoke about this connection in a 1994 MTV interview: https://youtu.be/seHb7GSW70M?t=180
