I don't know if they altered her so much as altered the video to fit in standard definition. It looks like it was originally shot in HD and compressed for regular TV because it appears that all of the people in the video look altered.

Having said that, this is a really nice song. Good job Mariah. woot! music clapping thumbs up! typing

My only problem is why does she sound so sped up in the vocal mix?? Sounds like 1980 when Bryan Adams had a song so fast in the mix it had to be released to dance clubs only

I haven´t heard that song yet. The last thing I felt by Mariah was Fly Like a Bird.

Me too! I ALMOST got that vibe off of "I Wish You Well" but not like Fly Like A Bird.

Listening to it again, it's because of the 2005 lyrical arrangment and JD's lame ass same ass production that just makes me not like it. Even the fake gospel ending does not do it for me.

Last thing i felt with "heart and emotion" probably was Petals, but before that "vanishing"
