Mariah should be a big fan since she started out singing backup for Brenda and it's Brenda that took her to the party where Tommy Mottola was at. I hope she cut Brenda K. a big ass check. 
Oh, and I like Brenda's version better, Mimi was trying way too hard on this one.  [Edited 5/1/08 11:28am] | |

seriously mariah's version pisses all over brenda's soulless singing.
to me, I Still Believe is the most soulful i've heard Mariah sound. | |

Mariah. I like the original, too, but Brenda's voice has a slight nasal sound to it that I don't care for. | |

Maybe you should invest in some 'Vision of Love' or any early Mariah records no doubt about them. it's just with I Still Believe i'm hearing a woman with much more life experience. the emotion in her singing there is unbelievably magical. | |

I can't even listen to Brenda's after hearing Mariah's so many times...
The only thing bad about Mimi's is that it is THE song where her voice reached it's turning point. She sounds terrible. I honestly don't believe that the released version was the best take she recorded of that song. On the up side, like PricelessHo, I love her emotion in this song. | |

Brenda K. Starr is a latin freestyle legend. For this alone, I should vote for her original version. Mariah is the better vocalist, but she shows off a lot with her own cover version.
With that said, I think it's very sad that Brenda & Mariah aren't as close friends as they use to be. I would have love for them to do a song together. | |

Mariah sounds hoarse on this recording - not feeling it. Brenda is not doing it for me either. love is a fate resigned memories mar my mind love it is a fate resigned Over futile odds and laughed at by the Gods and now the final frame Love is a losing game | |
