''MTV Unplugged +3'' is the second live video release by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, The home video was originally released on VHS in June 2, 1992, Columbia Music Videos. while the DVD was released in the United States on September 12, 2006 by Legacy Recordings. Following the success of Carey's previous two albums and the growing critical commentary on her lack of concert tours and unsubstantial televised performances, Sony BMG organized a performance show at the Kaufman Astoria Studios, New York on March 16, 1992. The show, titled ''MTV Unplugged'', originally aired on MTV to help promote Carey's then album ''Emotions'' (1991). However, after its success, the show was released to the public as an EP, with an accompanying VHS titled ''MTV Unplugged +3''.
In an attempt to prove Carey's live vocals were not derived from studio synthesizers, the performance earned generally positive review from music critics. They praised Carey's live vocal ability, and felt the EP and video helped showcase her talent. ''MTV Unplugged +3'' topped the Music Video sales chart of ''Billboard'', and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over 100,000 copies throughout the country.
==Background==
After the release of Carey's second studio album, ''Emotions'' (1991), critics began wondering whether Carey would finally embark on a worldwide tour, having not toured to promote her self-titled debut album. Although Carey had done several sporadic award show appearances, as well as television program performances, critics began accusing Carey of being a studio artist, not capable of delivering or replicating the same quality vocals live, especially her whistle register.〔 During several televised interviews, Carey addressed the accusations, claiming that she did not tour out of fear of the long travel times and distances, as well as the strain on her voice performing her songs back-to-back. However, in hopes of putting any claims of her being a manufactured artist to rest, Carey and Walter Afanasieff decided to book an appearance on ''MTV Unplugged'', a television program aired by MTV.〔 The show's purpose was to present well-known artists, and feature them "unplugged" or stripped of studio equipment. While live, the show allowed several musicians and back up vocalists, while recorded in an acoustic setting. The issues Carey faced once the show was booked was the content; she didn't know what material to present at the intimate concert. While Carey felt strongly of her more soulful and powerful songs, it was decided that her most popular content to that point would be included.〔 Days prior to the show's taping, Carey and Afanasieff thought of adding a cover version of an older song, in order to provide something different and unexpected. They chose "I'll Be There", a song made popular by The Jackson 5 in 1970, rehearsing it few times before the night of the show.〔
