Mariah is a fantastic singer but I've never liked any of her remakes,including this one.

It could have been better if she hadn't sung in a whispering register in the first chorus, but I guess her voice is shot. sigh Even so, it pales compared to the original.

I like it, but I wish she hadn't whispered parts of the song.

It does sound like it could be another number one for her.

She's doing it on purpose?

Sounds like it to me when she sings the lines that were originally done by the choir.

I don't think this is horrible, but it's not the best remake I've heard. It's a good remake for a Mariah remake.


Here are some other remakes of the same song.

I'm gonna go against the general opinion and say that I really think this is a good cover of the song and I almost like it more than the original (well, time will tell). The song is a classic but it never really excited me.

i think it's quite ok. but when she sings the chorus and stretches
those notes so long, it sounds like someone is letting the air out
of my tires, lol.

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. lol That was just an excuse for her to do her Minnie runs. falloff

I did not liek the first half..they should have had live drumming through the whole thing. The fingersnaps and stuff in teh beginning made it sound weaker and it picked up in the middle with the chorus and the high nites with the real drums. It faded out way too fast though. Much better than Obsessed. I'd rather hear this than that.

That's another reason I wasn't so fond of it.

That being said, she should do a great ORIGINAL song.

agree. There is no need for the hip hop sounding beat. Just regular drums, and thank GOD she just sang the song. I loved it. She needs to drop all the rap hip hop crap and get back to making good pop music. She was on top with that.
