Mariah Carey - "Vision of Love"

Still the best. She needs to go back to this kind of [italic]sangin'[/italic].

• I always was partial to this one

• It makes my ears bleed. Like being attacked by a swarm of queen mosquitoes.

• Agree!!!!

• Yes, and Shaq O'Neill needs to go back to that kind of basketball playin'.

  Time%20The%20Avenger

• I agree, OP.

• Awesome pop confection. The haters have no taste.

• This song and another one off her first album - "Vanishing" - were the finest songs she ever wrote. Pop confection perfection. Vanishing:

• Vanishing was great. She's had several great songs from her first three or four LPs that were not released as singles that were superior to many of the ones that were.

• Gawd. I love 80s/90s music very much, but I never ever got why this song was such a big deal. There are songs on Charmbracelet (yes I went there gurl), that are more appealing.

• Several critics have interpreted the lyrics to be Mariah singing to God, and I can agree because listening to this extraordinarily astounding song is nothing short of a religious experience. This Mariah needs to come back!

• ^Mary!

• Never gonna happen OP, she can no longer sing like that

• Her voice is shot. She can't do this kind of thing anymore. I was a huge fan of Vision of Love back then.

• She had her chance and blew it. Her future entails game shows and Celebrity Apprentice.

• Biggest selling female artist of the soundscan era. More number ones than any female artist. Had the biggest billboard hit of the 2000's with WE BELONG TOGETHER. Suffice it to say R14 is completely clueless. She's etched her place in pop music history.

• OMG, we have mimibot, joining janbot, madbot, and britbot!!!

• You got that right, R16

  MadBot

• Ehh - I thought it was a Whitney ripoff and it was. Vocal gymnastics. Never understood the appeal with her so-so looks and always showing the right side of her face - as if that side is sooooo much better. She's average in every way.

• R15, the "soundscand era"? How thin are you gonna slice that piece of pie?

• r14, what in the hail? That makes no sense. She didn't blow shit.

• I'm the ONLY bot in this house.

• In addition to her earlier (mental? medication?) troubles, she delivered Moesha and Mongolia by caesarean section- which usually erases and octave or two from your diaphram. Luckily, this coincided with the advent of Autotune, so now she can sqeak and squeal (electronically) forever.

• Is it typical of a singer to blow out their voice when they are only in their early 40s? I thought Mariah always took good care of her voice.

• My favorite Mariah song, from her "Emotions" LP:

  Till%20The%20End%20of%20Time%2C%20Bitches%21

• Mariah and Janet were both on the same label, Island Def Jam for a little bit. I think it was around the time of that photo at r21. LA Reid really killed any possibility of these ladies topping the charts for one last time.

• She smoked too much and her voice is shot now.

• She can't.

• She can't, but she sure could. I am not a huge fan, but "Vision of Love." was a great song and some fine singing. I liked her best when she was only a Diva in training, when there was still something natural and raw in her performance. Here is Mariah, on Saturday Night Live. Vision of Love

  Whitney%20was%20the%20beginning%20and%20the%20end.

• Daydream was her best album. Case closed.

• "removes an octave or two from your diaphragm"?? There are not even words in the English language with which to fully express your mindblowing stupidity, r22. My god...can you even feed yourself?

• This version of "Someday" is much better than the video version.

• Another stellar track from her first album

• I love her natural and raw look and sound back then. "Prisoner" was another great track from her self-titled debut.

• R21, you know if you painted little swirly circles on the cheeks of that photo of Janet, she'd look just like that puppet in all of the SAW movies.

• Look at the nose on R33!

• Oh gawd, R34, get a life. What are you, following me around to every thread waiting to strike at any mention of Queen Janet? You are undeniably funny, but a nuisance at the same time.

• JANBOT, I'm outside your trailer, in the dark. Come out and play.

• You're at the wrong address then, because I live in a condo.
