Help Me Make It Through The Night - Mariah Carey

So her cover of this Kris Kristofferson song leaked. The song has been covered numerous times by everyone from Elvis, to Johnny Cash, to Gladys Knight. It was supposedly going to be in the movie Tennessee (maybe replaced by Right To Dream?). Anyway, I think it's pretty great. Mariah's rawer sounding voice as of late sits perfectly with the stripped down acoustic guitar arrangement. I think an album of material done in this vein would be incredible and could be huge for her.

I don't think I can post a link but I found it in a Google search.

I didn't realize it was for sale somewhere. God those pictures in that youtube vid! I think my head hurts from my own constant eye rolling. Style-wise, she just doesn't "get it."

No. Just no.

And WOW, did that guitar player have a bad day. Sounds like someone that's been playing for a month.

I love Mimi, but after associating the song with Gladys Knight for so many years, I don't think I can hear it sung again by somebody else.

Literally, it's her playing. She took lessons as the character in the movie is a guitar player.

Clearly, but it what it is. On the whole it's not a bad recording. Much better than Justin and Madonna singing and playing acoustic
