Seriously, I've been on some Mariah boards and they don't really care about the production, instruments and such. They just want to hear her sing. I think it's an average song. Music doesn't have to be so serious and pretentious all the time I was not wondering why the fans like Mariah herself or her music in general. I admit I like a lot of stuff by her myself (especially the earlier stuff) and even though I own just one cd of hers I do follow her career. I was wondering how some fans are so excited about some of her cover versions which in my ears (which of course may be tone-deaf or something) are horrible:) It's a matter of taste I hate The Beatles's music but a lot of people like them. |

and back when she did, she wouldn't have bothered with this kind of thing. oh wait, i take that back. i forgot about Open Arms. and Against All Odds. | |

I'll Be There, Without You, Hero, I Still Believe.... the 80's power ballad was cute and funny and cool the first time, but it's like... the joke has turned on her. especially since she can't pull them off any more. | |

What Would Whitney Do? She'll tell Mariah, "babygirl, you can't sing no damn Foreigner, stop letting Nick Cannon tell you what you sing...  "

Timmy84 said: It's ok but the original version still kicks ass. Plus I don't like that she changed the tempo. I always hate that tempo unless it was used for a dance song.
That was just an excuse for her to do her Minnie runs. Speaking of her "Minnie runs" I always wondered since Mariah is so hot for doing covers, why has she never covered Minnie's "Lovin' You"? I mean, that certainly would have been another #1 for her. Everybody loves that song and since she obviously patterned her high octave got the dogs yelping cuz it hurts their ears pitched runs from Minnie, then to me, I always found it odd that she never made a remake of Lovin' You?

 This whisper shit has gotten completely out of control.
That being said, it's actually one of her better covers. I still don't like it, but it's not violently bad like her take on "Against All Odds." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Nah, things like that "1-2-3-4" song and "Coming Out of the Dark", I think those two songs came out when I was only one but I do remember seeing those videos for the songs at two or three, lol. My dad didn't even record them tho. And he was usually recording videos of songs he dug. | |

Not no damn Foreigner. yeah she did do "Just Be Good To Me" and "Do You Know Where You're Going To" and she touched " If You Should Every Be Lonely" and a bit of "Stay A Little While Child" and "Ill Be There" All of wich I didnt think were bad at all. This one is ok to me but Tricky's half a--ed production makes me cringe. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |
