I literally skipped over this song. Today at work, God told me to listen to this song and when I heard it, I bust out into tears. He was talking to me through this song. Thank you, Jesus, for being my friend and being there for me when I doubted myself.
Correction: Aretha, the anointed one, is still untouchable. The greatest voice of all time. There will never be another queen but lots of princesses have followed. And yes, Mariah and her beautiful octaves, is one of the greatest princesses of all time.
@@mariawarren8575 I don't know who that lady is and I'm not interested, we don't know her in my country, Mariah is THE GOAT. The standard. So get out of the Mariah videos.

One of her songs"Hero"all my friends thought i could commit suicide at anytime, because a lot was happening to me, One of them confessed "that i have a heart of stone, because it seems to him i don't feel pain"I do feel but Mariah Carey saved me.
@@DeLucaSou It's a compliment. I think they meant that Mariah has a unique and creative way of thinking/outlook in life that she used in writing her music.
Except for Whitney, Celine and Lara Fabian. Mariah is a great vocalist but she's not the only one who can sing on this spectacular level though she has an unique style for sure
The best song in Mariah Carey's career. She puts forth her whole soul into the song. Great choir! Mariah and Whitney we're the best singers in the 90s. True talent from God.
I wasn't a choir. It was Mariah, Melony Daniels, and the price sisters. Mariah duplicated and stacked their vocals to make it sound like a choir... sheer talent
If you're lonely and need a friend, and trouble seems like it'll never end. Just remember to keep the faith, and God will be there to light the way, yer. Anytime you need a friend, God will be here.

The climax of this song is insane! Your fave could never. Projected, powerful mid belts, supported, resonant, and powerful upper belts (9 supported, resonant, powerful G5's) and then that piercing and powerful whistle note in the middle of belting, her whistle note was soo powerful that it almost sounded like a belt! And she did all this in 1 climax!!!!!!!!! And she WROTE this song herself too! WOW!
Trina Dee mariah said on the recording of this song for the background vocals it was only her with melonie daniels and the price sisters but walter afanasief make it sounded like a full on choir
Trina Dee kelly price did a lot of her vocals she has the platinum recording in her house and grammy to prove it too awesone!!you should watch her video of MTV CRIBS she shows it

And no neither Whitney nor Celine can replicate this climax and song in general, where do you live on the moon? when have they ever phrased 10 G5s with this support and resonance? On Mars? Not to mention the airy powerful whistle
I'm so glad I was a teen in the 90's. We had real singers with powerful vocal ranges and atmospheric music videos. The early 90's was a fun time to be alive in. God ,what happened to music!?? How did we come from this to Cardi B and Lil Nas? Imo the 90's was the last great decade.
I've been saying this for the longest. Yes last great decade. The sitcom's were 🔥 too. The best . Now we have Rhianna, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Cardio B ughh

@Pedro We have our own beliefs. If you don't believe in God, It's your belief. But let me say, you'll regret you that in the Day of Judgement. Just saying.
@Pedro, if I'm an idiot because of my belief in Christ, so I think it's a good thing to be an IDIOT IN CHRIST... You dont believe until you experiment His power... Oh yes, He is almighty!
My God, those belts! that's actual resonance, support, real talent ! And that whistle just sounded like a guitar, her vocal talent and control is just out of this world !!!
am I the only person who thinks this is one of her best songs ever and should have been huge? The vocals, the piano riff running through the verses, bridge and chorus pulling the song together and making it super catchy, the lyrics.. This should have been #1. I think it was better than Touch My Body tbh.
3:34 "Don't you eever be lonelyyy!" wheww, you can't touch Mariah in her vocal prime, you just can't, she just reaches into your soul and keeps a piece of it forever.
She wrote this beautiful, empowering song, AND sung it executing impeccable vocal technique and color... This woman IS everything and deserves so much more respect than she gets.
My favorite song from her. She has so many great songs, but this one touches my heart. The strength of selfless love is the most powerful emotion..........
Many years ago I remember sitting at my desk writing a letter to God asking Him to send a friend into my life. About 10 minutes later I got up and went to the Office Tuck Shop which was up in the Lobby of our office building and this song came on as soon as I walked in the door. Immediately I knew it was God answering my letter❤, He is sweet & so loving❤ & so comforting❤
Turning 50 this year, am so scared and grateful at the same time. Bought myself this CD back in the days but it feels like it was the other day. So many people have passed on but the one that hits home still is my mom's passing. 3 yrs this April. She had me when she was just 17....
+Guss Aguilar Believe it or not, her song she redone "I'll be there" helped me survive some hard times in a far away land doing things nobody should ever experience. I just thank God for her songs and most beautiful voice. This song also made things easier for me to make it home alive. Thank you Mariah, thank you from the very depths of a heart heavy with memories and thoughts, without you it would be forever down in a dark place never to see the light of day again.
It's such a shame that so many people in this generation sleep on Mariah she is definitely in my top 5 favorite vocalist of all time but oh well I suppose that's their lost.
Tornado1994 I agree, I love Tevin but I think they don't know him bc he kind of disappeared for awhile and isn't really their time whereas Mariah is and they think bc she lost her voice a little that she isn't easily one of the greatest artist of our generation.
+CorineNation *Sigh*. NO. Tevin NEVER came out the Closet. Don't make things up.(He came out as Bi in Sister2Sister Magazine back in 2003.) What happened to his career is that during 1996-1999 Qwest released 2 more new LPs that underpeformed and sold dismally due to lack of promotion and poor imagining by Qwest. Qwest itself sucked and promoted ALL Artists like Tamia poorly. Tevin wasn't the only one. And so, after "Back To The World" only managed to go gold and his Self Titled 1999 CD flopped(adding insult to injury was his July 1999 Arrest in Van Nuys in a Undercover Sting at a Elementary School Parking Lot for trying to buy Drugs and solicit a Transvestite Prostitute who was actually an Undercover Officer) , Tevin left the label, and decided to take a long break from Recording. Qwest Records filed for bankruptcy in June of 2000, and in February 2001, closed their doors after fling Chapter 7.
I just heard this for the first time - 2022. Oh. My. God. I'm actually listening to any of her music for the first time. (55 year old guy) What a discovery. This album (her talent) is unreal.
You should listen to the dance remix. It's one of my favorite songs by any artist, and not only does Mariah take you to church, she can skat with the best jazz singers on that track as well.
Best voice to ever grace music. It also seems like she sings the best when she's singing gospel! (ex. "Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child", "I Am Free", "Joy To The World", and even her gospel-ized version of "Happy Birthday" to Muhammad Ali) This woman can sang the hell outta some gospel music!!!
Me too. We all have our struggles, and everyone's struggle is different . This is a song of hope and knowing, there is ( even when it seems NO one is here for us) someone always is. Even if it's a stranger that made a comment of hope, love.,,, AND I know God is on our side! I love you all, with all of my heart., live your best lives! 👌👍💜
Imagine having such an incredible voice, writing, composition and production skills, and such timeless beauty... Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Mariah Carey.
I used to sing and cry my eyes out to this song when my sister was in the hospital. Even after my sis passed and till this day I still cry when I hear it. I miss her 💔
Condolences to u n family... stay strong n motivated girl...life goes on...hope u will be able to find the courage to accept what is fated in this life...
So sorry for your lost...I understand completely, I lost my sister also and I spent many nights in the hospital with her. This song gets me every time.
She has produced almost 20 #1 hits, sold over 200 MILLION records worldwide, was named a Billboard Icon. I don’t understand how she’s only won 5 Grammy awards? This lady is a LEGEND.
She Has Had 3 Singles Peak At No 2 Can't Let Go: The Label Hated How It Was So R&B Oriented, So They Took The Song Out Of Stores, Loverboy: When It Was Released It Stalled At The Charts Then They Dropped The Price To 59 Cents And It Skyrocketed To No 2 But Because Of Weak Radio Plays It Peaked At No 2, Shake It Off: It Could Have Gone No 1 If The Label Had Waited For 14 Weeks After We Belong Together Fell Of The No 1 Spot, But No, They Instead Released It Early And It Peaked At No 2 And She Doesn't Need The Grammys The Billboard Icon Award Is Way Better Than The Grammys.
Vocally If you think this is incredible , and it really is, it's a masterpiece, then you have to listen to "Jesus what a wonderful child" and "Anytime you Need a friend Club remix" these are the best vocal performances ever recorded in the studio, they can puts everyone to shame. If you've never heard them, you will be SHOCKED
THIS THIS THIS!!! The agility, control, support and DIVA CONFIDENCE of this son is extraordinary! IT's a song slept on by so many, but it really is one of the greatest vocals ever done by a female in contemporary music history
Pop Land this song convinced me she’s arguably the greatest vocalist of all time. Freddy Mercury, Whitney Houston, George Michael.... hard to put them in any kind of order but these are my favorites.
She has had criticism for warbling too much and I can understand that in some of her later tracks. But this sung to perfection, I love her earlier stuff.
my dear Mariah Carey you sing exceptionally well in this song in my humble opinion! the song is very beautiful, the music, melodious, sensitive etc........
Exactly. I'd easily call this woman the best female singer/songwriter of all time. She is comparable to the Beatles( not in music genre of course) but In talent and popularity.
These people talking just to talk. Useless haters. We all know Mariah MF'in Carey and her unparalleled catalog, influence, voice, stats/numbers and overall artistry. Haters are MAD that their favs could literally NEVER...like EVER. A league of their own. And this easy ass streaming era and payola era. You get many forgettable hits and inauthentic numbers.
@@santiadame6781 yes, did you watch the divas live? Celine dion outsing mariah carey, mariah good if she is alone but to compete she is not the best, imagine she sing live with christina aguilera now, 🤣🤣 you wouldnt hear her voice
This song has touched my soul way before i could understand English. Growing up in a village (Africa) listening to the song playing in a national radio station. Indeed, music is a universal language.
I always like to recognize Whitney Houston, Mariah Carrey, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, Christina Aquilera, Beyonce Knowles, and Jennifer Hudson. I Love all of them! The magnificent 7.
@@easye5653 Toni Braxton, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé and Jennifer do not reach the level of Mariah or Whitney. I would remove those names and put that of the great Céline.
One of my favorite Mariah Carey's songs. I'm crying while listening to this the lyrics and everything about this song brings out all the emotions inside of me as I am going through a very tough time right now in my life. I know I'm not truly alone and to keep having faith. Thank you Mariah for this beautiful song ❤
You're right there I bet there s people listening to this who are on the verge of giving up and are lonely with no one to turn to the lyrics really hit home in this song life sucks at times I really do feel for them

I believe Mariah wrote this song from the perspective of God. 💜
That wasn't God. That was mariah
Wenn ich ins Jenseits gehe möchte ich dieses Lied hören ❤❤❤
I'm happy to hear that my love ❤️❤️
One of the most powerful and underestimated songs of Mariah Carey.
so powerful Alaska had an dogequake
totally agree!
No, it wasn't underestimated. It was a huge hit. After "without you" this was the next huge hit from "music box" somewhere in May or June of 1994.
This song was larger than life and still great
@@arsenjaho8854 it actually was her first single to not be in top 10. So it wasn't a huge hit
She should've won a grammy for this song. One of the greatest pure vocal tracks of the 90s.
i think why Grammy shouldnt win a Mariah's award. Grammy who.
@@theaerialdreamcatcher5739 *now thats major TEA*
I think in the 90s there were so many talents that it was impossible to even have nominees.

Im a music producer but no one in the music industry has ever even got close to mariah's 8 octane music vocals. It's out of this world
Mariah is more like 5 octaves which was comparable to Minnie Ripperton. Rachelle Ferrell had a 6 octave range.
Mike patton from faith no more has a higher range
Except for Whitney, Celine and Lara Fabian. Mariah is a great vocalist but she's not the only one who can sing on this spectacular level though she has an unique style for sure
I wish she hadn’t drastically changed her sound. Most of the rnb hip hop stuff she has done sucks.

Cus nobody real anymore to be a friend

Well you’ll never know 🤷🏻♂️, but true tho mainstream ballads are not really made anymore
This song isn't mentioned enough in the Mariah discography convo. She ATE this
Yep, this and other songs on the music box albun
She wrote it as well.
I dont feel her soul in this, her Thanksgiving performance was outstanding soul burst version that i really like
And then shat it out on us!
Vocally Maria's performance is inhuman. One of the most vocally challenging songs. She performs in such an absolute unparalleled way. Even after 30 years, we have not heard a cover that scratches Mariah's performance. The words have nothing to say, tear the soul.

I've been saying this for the longest. Yes last great decade. The sitcom's were 🔥 too. The best . Now we have Rhianna, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Cardio B ughh
so true!!!!!!
Still took us to 2025 ❤
❤❤
I'm silenced and shook. Mariah's vocals are ABOVE AND BEYOND on this song.
If you think this is incredible , and it really is, it's a masterpiece, then you have to listen to "Jesus what a wonderful child" and "Anytime you Need a friend Club remix" these are the best vocal performances ever recorded in the studio, they can puts everyone to shame. If you've never heard them, you will be SHOCKED
The C&C remix of this song is even crazier vocally! It's just insanity.
Totally agree 👍
Jesus is talking to us in this song... He'll be always there when we'll need Him...
Just call His Holly Name, He'll be there!!
God bless y'all!
Amen
@Pedro We have our own beliefs. If you don't believe in God, It's your belief. But let me say, you'll regret you that in the Day of Judgement. Just saying.
I love the Gospel choir!!
@Pedro call me Idiot. Loving IS crazy in itself so with the most high even more!!
@Pedro, if I'm an idiot because of my belief in Christ, so I think it's a good thing to be an IDIOT IN CHRIST... You dont believe until you experiment His power... Oh yes, He is almighty!
Mariah Carey is just timeless, i will never get over her
fr
If I was a teen in the 90’s Mariah would of been my celebrity crush but sadly I was born in 1999
@@maxpalmer3212 ur lucky you was even born in the 90s, I was born in 2006.
I agree, I'll never get over her either, I love how she always stays consistent with her music.
Never ever
Rocker/Metalhead here and I can appreciate this, her voice, the choir, very moving and powerful. The Queen 👸🙌
My God, those belts! that's actual resonance, support, real talent ! And that whistle just sounded like a guitar, her vocal talent and control is just out of this world !!!
Love this
ur pfpf ios a heart ur
GOAT
am I the only person who thinks this is one of her best songs ever and should have been huge? The vocals, the piano riff running through the verses, bridge and chorus pulling the song together and making it super catchy, the lyrics.. This should have been #1. I think it was better than Touch My Body tbh.
Clearly better than Touch my Body.
i like touch my body better
Exactly! You’re 100% right!
Justice for Touch My Body!! hehehehe
Cause this is like a spiritual song.
Girl can SING!!! Her voice is unreal. Beautiful. 💓
This is one of her most underrated songs. It's one of her best ballads. The lyrics, the message, THE VOCALS, the belts, the choir, the Synergy
So many of her earlier songs are underrated.
The most underrated of all Mariah Carey songs.
I love it
This song goes in on many levels ... its a total package
I love to hear. M Carey sing
Dude this is amazing. Her vocals are on point and the choir too!
Brandon Andre absolutely
I FEEL I CRY😥😥
Lord, when she hits that note at 3:39...Chills down the spine!!
THIS is how I like Miss Mariah...Takin' it to the CHURCH!!
luv this one too Bernie.
I get emotional on this one!
Haha! She always takes me to church!! Old school Mariah is so soulful it gives me chills every time.
Love it
cuantas vidas salvas mariah!!!!! thanks! gracias. the queen forever!!!!!
Can we give it up for the gospel choir which is backing Mariah??? A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E!
They are fantastic
only the best for the best
It must be a church Choir but from where
Simplemanplan the choir consists of the best singers from different choirs from New York
Price Sisters, Melonie Daniels & Mariah Carey stacked their voices to make it sound like a massive choir.
3:34 "Don't you eever be lonelyyy!" wheww, you can't touch Mariah in her vocal prime, you just can't, she just reaches into your soul and keeps a piece of it forever.
Ciclopea2 yes thats so true her songs are so emotional and touch your heart one of the best feelings that almost no artists can do
Ciclopea2 : that's my favorite part .. so powerfull
MaddyB / yes and only her and Tamar can give that feeling they have the voices of angels
She wrote this beautiful, empowering song, AND sung it executing impeccable vocal technique and color... This woman IS everything and deserves so much more respect than she gets.
+Antwon Powell Amen to that!!!
I always come to this song on those dark days when I need perspective.....❤
"Just remember to keep the faith and love will be there to light the way". This song turns 25 yrs. today! ❤❤❤ One of the best🤙🏼
Stephanie Derecho amen queen mariah
Amen.
Best vocalist ever to walk this earth.
I agree this woman can sing!!!
Debatable. Definitely the top female one.
Carlosss x that was whitney
Lianne Kraaijenbrink Whitney was inferior to Mariah vocally
Carlosss x Karen Carpenter -Mariah Carey -Whitney Houston --100
Im feeling so sad right know wish i had a friend to help me over come my insecurities.
sending you a big hug!
She looks so beautiful in this video
My complete crush through high school❤️
My favorite song from her. She has so many great songs, but this one touches my heart. The strength of selfless love is the most powerful emotion..........
Divo 1966 same here
Me too...👍
Same for me. 😊
Many years ago I remember sitting at my desk writing a letter to God asking Him to send a friend into my life. About 10 minutes later I got up and went to the Office Tuck Shop which was up in the Lobby of our office building and this song came on as soon as I walked in the door. Immediately I knew it was God answering my letter❤, He is sweet & so loving❤ & so comforting❤
Oh my goodness yes he is. I love him dearly 💛 💗
Amen 🙏🏼
Amen...HIS goodness is incomprehensible
Turning 50 this year, am so scared and grateful at the same time. Bought myself this CD back in the days but it feels like it was the other day. So many people have passed on but the one that hits home still is my mom's passing. 3 yrs this April. She had me when she was just 17....
My mummy passed away 3 years ago in july sorry for loss your mummy ❤❤
@Lisa-hy5ck thank you Lisa. So sorry for your loss too. 💞
Mariah at her best during her 90s! How time flies....always wish I can turn back the time...to a much simplier world in the past
True but wish she does some songs even presently.
Totally agreed with you!
You the best
I like to think Mariah is taking about Jesus in this song.
She really singing about Him.She wrote and recorded great gospel songs.
+Abilio Campos yeah and also Can't Take that Away from Me, Fly like a Bird, and Make it Happen
+Mark anthony :)
+Mark anthony this proves that shes not in the illuminati
+The Conrad that was my first thought- it sounds like what He is saying to those of us who believe-
I'm sure mariahs music has helped people get through hell and back. Listening to her gives hope and prosperity.
For that, thank you Mariah.
Guss Aguilar It's been the case for me, she gets me through life, love her so much.
What a smart comment!
+Guss Aguilar Believe it or not, her song she redone "I'll be there" helped me survive some hard times in a far away land doing things nobody should ever experience. I just thank God for her songs and most beautiful voice. This song also made things easier for me to make it home alive. Thank you Mariah, thank you from the very depths of a heart heavy with memories and thoughts, without you it would be forever down in a dark place never to see the light of day again.
She's defiantly helped me and I hope one day I'll be able to thank her
Agreed
Her best song. Hands down.
One of my all time favorites from Mariah. The Gospel soul feel takes this to the top.
the organ was beautiful
AUGUSTALLEN28 The actual writer got that chorus part from The Hawkins' "When All Else Fails" - ruclips.net/video/HeVg2WUm3aY/видео.html
It's such a shame that so many people in this generation sleep on Mariah she is definitely in my top 5 favorite vocalist of all time but oh well I suppose that's their lost.
Its even more of a travesty how much Tevin Campbell is overlooked. The man is a vocal powerhouse.
Tornado1994 I agree, I love Tevin but I think they don't know him bc he kind of disappeared for awhile and isn't really their time whereas Mariah is and they think bc she lost her voice a little that she isn't easily one of the greatest artist of our generation.
No, from what I understand, Tevin came out the closet and they stopped promoting his music. It had something to do with his label management.
+CorineNation *Sigh*. NO. Tevin NEVER came out the Closet. Don't make things up.(He came out as Bi in Sister2Sister Magazine back in 2003.)
What happened to his career is that during 1996-1999 Qwest released 2 more new LPs that underpeformed and sold dismally due to lack of promotion and poor imagining by Qwest.
Qwest itself sucked and promoted ALL Artists like Tamia poorly. Tevin wasn't the only one.
And so, after "Back To The World" only managed to go gold and his Self Titled 1999 CD flopped(adding insult to injury was his July 1999 Arrest in Van Nuys in a Undercover Sting at a Elementary School Parking Lot for trying to buy Drugs and solicit a Transvestite Prostitute who was actually an Undercover Officer) , Tevin left the label, and decided to take a long break from Recording.
Qwest Records filed for bankruptcy in June of 2000, and in February 2001, closed their doors after fling Chapter 7.
Please be nice. I only went by what I read in an article. Thank you for the information. God Bless
I will never stop loving this song...feels new everyday
I just heard this for the first time - 2022. Oh. My. God.
I'm actually listening to any of her music for the first time. (55 year old guy) What a discovery. This album (her talent) is unreal.
I think 🤔 this is the best song Mariah ever sang
It really does tho😍😍😍
@@adipsous how old are you?
I still listen to this one each day ❤
This song has to be a gospel song🔥❤️🙌. The sounds are amazing. Mariah Carey and the whole crew were ahead of their time
Mariah done take us all to church with this song
YASSSS!! I cry everytime I hear her ballads.
Vocally one of the most amazing songs ever recorded, absolute perfection, lyrically, spiritually, emotionally.Mariah at her best.
You should listen to the dance remix. It's one of my favorite songs by any artist, and not only does Mariah take you to church, she can skat with the best jazz singers on that track as well.
@@728huey yes!! I love the remix video too. I miss when artists had fun in their videos.
初めまして♥️👸🐯⚽️真由美ちゃんです🍀よろしくね🗾
Best voice to ever grace music. It also seems like she sings the best when she's singing gospel! (ex. "Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child", "I Am Free", "Joy To The World", and even her gospel-ized version of "Happy Birthday" to Muhammad Ali)
This woman can sang the hell outta some gospel music!!!
+The90sAreTheBest she has a gospel tone
+DarkwaveDuck She really does!
+DarkwaveDuck She really does!
+The90sAreTheBest and also "Fly Like A Bird"!! Beautiful song and voice!
+Jordan Booth fly like a bird just takes me there!!! yes!
This song saved my life, reminded me that God is always there even through the darkest times. Thank you, Mariah...forever grateful 💕
Yesss my favorite Mariah Carey song of all time.
😘
Me too. We all have our struggles, and everyone's struggle is different . This is a song of hope and knowing, there is ( even when it seems NO one is here for us) someone always is. Even if it's a stranger that made a comment of hope, love.,,, AND I know God is on our side! I love you all, with all of my heart., live your best lives! 👌👍💜
jade that is beautiful thing you said about that God is always there 😀🙏🏽
Amen
Imagine having such an incredible voice, writing, composition and production skills, and such timeless beauty... Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Mariah Carey.
A message to the future generations..Don't let this masterpiece song die.🙏🙏❤️
De sentimentos, ela entende
This song is timeless.
Yep
We cant afford..
Please read Deuteronomy 28 you are the Hebrew Israelites.
I used to sing and cry my eyes out to this song when my sister was in the hospital. Even after my sis passed and till this day I still cry when I hear it. I miss her 💔
Sorry 💔
Condolences to u n family... stay strong n motivated girl...life goes on...hope u will be able to find the courage to accept what is fated in this life...
Covid taken so many
So sorry for your lost...I understand completely, I lost my sister also and I spent many nights in the hospital with her. This song gets me every time.
Stay strong girl.....your sis would want you to
The choir really gives this song the uplift that it needs
@Ugh Yes they do. The choir is everything!!
Just mariah carey kelly price shanrae price and melonie daniels singing backup no choir.
Indeed
@@bronwynnkyledonson1266 Yeah, they stacked their voices so it sounds like more people.
@Oh It's a church choir. Probably them. Musically you can hear the difference between 3 voices and a mass choir.
So sorry for the loss of your mother and sister Mariah. My condolences, may they find peace on the other side.
She has produced almost 20 #1 hits, sold over 200 MILLION records worldwide, was named a Billboard Icon. I don’t understand how she’s only won 5 Grammy awards? This lady is a LEGEND.
Screw the Grammy’s. They stopped representing the heartbeat of America a long time ago. I haven’t watched them for a long time.
Sales have not been updated in a long time, she is at least at 250 millions without streams
She’s 294 million.
Not the scammys- they always had something against her istg. She doesnt need that illuminati anyways 🤭
She Has Had 3 Singles Peak At No 2 Can't Let Go: The Label Hated How It Was So R&B Oriented, So They Took The Song Out Of Stores, Loverboy: When It Was Released It Stalled At The Charts Then They Dropped The Price To 59 Cents And It Skyrocketed To No 2 But Because Of Weak Radio Plays It Peaked At No 2, Shake It Off: It Could Have Gone No 1 If The Label Had Waited For 14 Weeks After We Belong Together Fell Of The No 1 Spot, But No, They Instead Released It Early And It Peaked At No 2 And She Doesn't Need The Grammys The Billboard Icon Award Is Way Better Than The Grammys.
This song is so fucking majestic
I know she makes you feel like she’s singing directly to you
Majestic is the right word
Just breathtaking. In my opinion one of the best vocal performances of all time.
The BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Vocally If you think this is incredible , and it really is, it's a masterpiece, then you have to listen to "Jesus what a wonderful child" and "Anytime you Need a friend Club remix" these are the best vocal performances ever recorded in the studio, they can puts everyone to shame. If you've never heard them, you will be SHOCKED
And That's The Truth
She was so good - beautiful voice, beautiful face, a true music power of the nineties.
One of the best vocalists ever lived. thank you Mariah
+irma irmi One of the best vocalist with inspiration songs too!
One of . Don't Forget whitney Houston she is the best one. The top
Prince Igor Essodina Solim dude no. Whitney is one of the best singers in history, but Mariah was always the SUPERIOR vocalist.
King Crowley no the best
+Prince Igor Essodina Solim can you read? He clearly said "one of"
Who is still crying to this in 2022? Thank you Mariah & you Gospal singers! 🙏🏼 A clear message from above.
2024❤
THIS THIS THIS!!! The agility, control, support and DIVA CONFIDENCE of this son is extraordinary!
IT's a song slept on by so many, but it really is one of the greatest vocals ever done by a female in contemporary music history
makes u wanna JUST EAT IT
A M E N
Pop Land big deal she cant fly like superman
Pop Land this song convinced me she’s arguably the greatest vocalist of all time. Freddy Mercury, Whitney Houston, George Michael.... hard to put them in any kind of order but these are my favorites.
She has had criticism for warbling too much and I can understand that in some of her later tracks.
But this sung to perfection, I love her earlier stuff.
A swear its like this song was written by God himself.❤
Those G5's give me the chills every time. Really the last minute and half does , honestly.
No grammy? how could this classic not be represented by the academy ... what a racket!
it's Taylor Swift's fault! blame it on her.
The Grammys didn’t even know what to do with her... they can’t handle MIMI
I know what you mean!!!!
Wait who has the most GRAMMY’s? I know its not T-Swizzle who has the most grammys.
bhoxz justine
Beyonce has the most
Mariah Carey is such a legend she is the GOAT.
my dear Mariah Carey you sing exceptionally well in this song in my humble opinion! the song is very beautiful, the music, melodious, sensitive etc........
What a song, what a vocal. Truly one of humanity's greatest. Takes you someplace else.
She wrote the song herself. I don't like people who think that she is only important on Christmas. She wrote 19 No1 hits.
Well said.
What?!? She’s a legend! Not just at Christmas.
18**
Exactly. I'd easily call this woman the best female singer/songwriter of all time. She is comparable to the Beatles( not in music genre of course) but In talent and popularity.
These people talking just to talk. Useless haters.
We all know Mariah MF'in Carey and her unparalleled catalog, influence, voice, stats/numbers and overall artistry. Haters are MAD that their favs could literally NEVER...like EVER. A league of their own.
And this easy ass streaming era and payola era. You get many forgettable hits and inauthentic numbers.
There's no singer in the whole world better than Mariah Carey. She will always be a legend.
Whitney and christina
Nash Mangigin key word “better”
@@santiadame6781 yes, did you watch the divas live? Celine dion outsing mariah carey, mariah good if she is alone but to compete she is not the best, imagine she sing live with christina aguilera now, 🤣🤣 you wouldnt hear her voice
@@nashmangigin2039 LoL I hope for your sake that was just a poor attempt at comedy otherwise well, best of luck to you
@@nashmangigin2039 she sounds nasally
I think this song is her hardest song ever. Harder than emotions.
Just when you thought she already hit the high notes, she whistled. That beautiful airy whistle. 😍😍😍
the whistle sounds better in one of its remix versions. more powerful
Can't spell MUSIC without (M)ariah (C)arey
FACTS!
She is literally what holds the word together
Amethyst Maries can’t spell Christmas without her either
This song so powerful!! Had me crying!
Got to me too
Yep
AMEN
Me too. Every time I listen to this song.
Beautiful!!
This has me sobbing like a child every time.
Viscerally breathtaking.
❤
The whistle note omg, the good old days 3:39 The Best!
Mariah Carey is the greatest female singer of all time
This song has touched my soul way before i could understand English. Growing up in a village (Africa) listening to the song playing in a national radio station. Indeed, music is a universal language.
Which country from Africa do you came from??
😊😊😊
Wow! This is just what my soul needed right now. Love one another. ❤️🙏
This woman is a manifestation of vocal slayage
#Queen
Love her and Celine Dion to death.
My Queens.
I grew up hiding in her music from depression... her music kept me alive ❤️❤️ Thank God for being so many way of escape
Same here, I eventually took up a therapy and it helps a lot :) But Mariah's music will always be my close friend :))
Me too! :)
God given talent, straight from God
Me three!
me too ❤️
The best female vocalist ever imo
I always like to recognize Whitney Houston, Mariah Carrey, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, Christina Aquilera, Beyonce Knowles, and Jennifer Hudson. I Love all of them! The magnificent 7.
@@easye5653 same❤😊
@@easye5653 Toni Braxton, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé and Jennifer do not reach the level of Mariah or Whitney. I would remove those names and put that of the great Céline.
♥️
Streaming this because of the sad news. Mariah's been here for us, now let's be there for her.
Mariah + Gospel choir = LIFE !
it reminded me of the Like A Prayer video.
Mariah Carey had the midas touch. Everything she touched turned to gold.
yessss
Just like Chris Brown
+DeAndre' Flyboi what??? No
***** thank you...I was wondering the same thing
Damian Jo You cute
One of my favorite Mariah Carey's songs. I'm crying while listening to this the lyrics and everything about this song brings out all the emotions inside of me as I am going through a very tough time right now in my life. I know I'm not truly alone and to keep having faith. Thank you Mariah for this beautiful song ❤
Am with you on this.
❤
You're right there I bet there s people listening to this who are on the verge of giving up and are lonely with no one to turn to the lyrics really hit home in this song life sucks at times I really do feel for them
Same 😢
Same here
