Mariah at the Apollo Theater - 1990
One of her early live performances, and certainly the one with the most pressure considering how coldly she was received by black audiences early on for "imitating" black divas. Anyone who knows anything about the Apollo Theater in the 80s-early 90s knows that you could be booed off stage in the blink of an eye, no mercy.
At 2:30 she shoved it in all the skeptics' faces by proving her "whistle" notes weren't studio trickery, and the final chorus proved she was the real deal.
That moment she opened her eyes after that run at 2:50 and realized how much they were going nuts for her is infectious. She pauses in shock for a moment, and absolutely cuts loose, soaking in the audience's love and belting even after the song is over.
Birth of a legend right here, folks.

Meh, expected panties or something flying on stage.
She was one of the hottest white women of the 90's.

Not exactly the same but this is the most touching reaction of a musician to fans singing I've seen.

I don't get it? He smiled because he realized the crowd was going to sing along in harmony.
I clicked expecting him to break down or freak out or something.
I leave greatly disappointed.

hrm, I would have thought it would have been the three years of nonstop hype for band, the sold out shows worldwide, and the massive album sales.
Not really sure why this video matters...

This is the better one. Considering the OP is just taking this from reddit, There's a few floating around in the original reddit post.
I should point out. In the french song, The crowd changes the lyrics from "I love you" to "We love you". It also doesn't just stop at the start, You need to keep on watching until the song kicks in and that's when the singer stands there in even more shock as the crowd continues to belt it out.
There is this korean one as well
What does a British band playing at Reading have to do with Australia?
JJJ Made them big.
This video reminds me of what happened before a Weezer concert. I wish I could find the video of Rivers Cuomo's reaction when he was backstage.

She seems genuinely thrilled.
EDIT: Same as Flatline's

This is also a little bit of backstory to the entire french one. It looks like it's happened to her a few times.

Pearl Jam's Better Man at Praça da Apoteose, Rio, 2005
This is probably my favorite YouTube video ever, despite the low quality. Remembering being there that day sends chills down my spine every single time.

No Doubt - Don't speak - Before Gwen was super famous I guess, Looks to be a little taken back by it all.

I'm always surprised more people don't browse through Reddit.
Kelly Clarkson winning American Idol.. c'mon, who couldn't find those 'squees' infectious? She had to be on top of the world
Shit dude. She is amazed.
I'm not that stupid...
No they made them big world wide.
They were ok in the UK but exploded with the popularity that started over here.
Likewise, Mumford is both proud and uneasy with their instant Australian success.
"It felt like we'd done a lot of work to get people to come to our gigs in the UK. In Australia we got off the plane and the first gig (Brisbane) was the biggest gig we'd ever played, 6000 people going crazy, they knew all the songs. I don't have a box to put that in in my head," he says.
