Young mj vs. Mariah Carey-I’ll be there

Which one had the better version of I’ll be there? My pick is Mariah cause the vocals are perfect and she made it her own

I prefer MJ's because it feels more earnest to me.

I like Mariah's version the best. It's a great update. Michael told her personally that she had done a better job with it.
I wish though Michael had released the adult version of that song which exists as a snippet for a Pepsi comercial with him sitting at a piano singing the chorus in unison with little mj. That would have been beautiful.

Yes, but Mariah put something on that song that the adult MJ could no longer bring

Give Trey Lorenz credit for why her version was so good. Trey, helps to have songs if you want to make an album bub. lol

Imo,Mariah has never been a good ‘remake’ singer.All of her remakes fall flat and lack the emotion/intensity of the original versions.

Frank Cascio tells the story in his book of how he and Mike ran into Mariah and then-boyfriend Luis Miguel and she and Michael had that exchange.
