Oh yeah that was a total remake.

She also revamped The Loose Ends' "Stay A Little While" for the My All Remix and "If You SHould Ever Be Lonely" by Val Young.



She sure did do alot now that I am thinking

The rhythm of the singing on "Beautiful Ones" is a little off and I don't really want to hear Dru Hill on it.

But otherwise I enjoy her remakes, and I'm finna make a Mariah covers playlist after everyone finishes remembering and listing them here.

studio recordings (by date):

the wind (she wrote her own lyrics for this piece)
i'll be there
without you
open arms
the beautiful ones
i still believe
do you know where you're going to
against all odds
didn't mean to turn you on
last night a dj saved my life
bringing on the heartbreak

from live performances:

don't play that song for me
just be good to me
if only you knew/somewhere over the rainbow

thanks P/H

sure

oh, and i forgot Love Hangover.

To be honest, it's a shitty song and putting Mariah's shitty vocals on it just makes the shit pile a little deeper & higher.

for the record though, MARIAH is on the top of the list of artists that need a total 100% overhaul. She needs to clean house big time, lose the "formula" that she has been using on every album since "butterfly" lose the guest spots on her albums, and the overproduction. This is why very little she has done is memorable, she is like Barry Bonds, she may set records, but looking back most wont remember her.

Her work on GLITTER was the only "right step" she has taken. The covers were excellent because she was singing the type of songs she could fit with. Doing #1 ballads is a joke, why cover Foreigner,Journey,Nilson,Lionel Richie, you cant improve it, and they always come out sounding as lame as Celine Dion singing Heart's "Alone".

No,the original is perfect In 1988,I went out and bought Brenda's cassette after hearing "I Still Believe".I was hooked on that song for months.It's not just the vocals....the production is better on Brenda's version,too.

Some artists are good at remakes,some aren't.Luther Vandross was a master at remakes.He could make you forget the original.Mariah's remakes are never as good as the original,imo.
