Best Mariah Carey song??

What do you think is mariah's best song??

I think the song "forever" from the "daydream" is a beautifully written song.

I don't listen to Mariah a lot anymore, but "Vision of Love" will always be my fav. Mariah song. And I like her unplugged version of "I'll Be There"

I love Mariah Carey but its just to hard to pick one song. I love the song Vision of love, and I still sing her version of I'll Be There around the house. I also like Dreamlover, My All, Emotions, Loverboy, and Fantasy. So many more but those are my faves right now.

I would have to say "Slippin' Away" which was a b-side to "Always be My Baby" Always be...was a great song as well as Vanishing and Breakdown

When that Treacherous Three "Body Rock" synthbass drops in, I lose it and jam like Mariah just put the song out.

I guess, for me, that's when I don't like Mariah's songs -- when they sound like other people's songs. She's always said Genius of Love is one of her favorite songs, so why didn't she just out and out remake it? I don't think Fantasy is a great song, because it just makes me want to listen to the original, especially when she kept some of the lyrics from GoL. Same goes with Honey. I hear the Treacherous 3 sample and it makes me wanna turn off her song and listen to theirs instead. I dunno. I guess that's my problem with heavy sampling like that. It doesn't necessarily make for a bad song, it just distracts me.

nod that's where love for Mariah's music started fading....when she kept doin' all of those damn remixes and adding popular rappers to sell. Mariah's voice is good enough to the point that she doesn't need P.Diddy and others. I hate when good singers do that...lower their talent for money.

Really didn't feel Mariah after the Daydream album but I still listen to her debut fairly often as well as Emotions...

Some faves:

"Vanishing"
"All In Your Mind"
"Sent From Up Above"
"And You Don't Remember"
"Can't Let Go"
"Til The End Of Time"
"Underneath The Stars" (probably my fave of hers)

IMO, of course!

lol So, you're not feelin' "Honey"? I always thought "Fantasy" and "Honey" were like old school homages, more than a pop-rap collabo. Those songs certainly don't give me the same nausea as her collaborations with Ja Rule or Cam'ron or whoever later on. Maybe that's because I have more respect for the likes of a 1995 Ol' Dirty Bastard compared to those pop crumbs posing as "hiphop".

"One Sweet Day" is still my favorite Mariah song. I love the A Capella versions on the CD single. Plus, I like "Someday", "Heartbreaker"(Remixed) and "Baby Doll".

My favorite ballad is "Lead The Way", and my favorite uptempo track is the So So Def remix of "Honey". When she re-records a vocal it usually makes it even hotter... biggrin
