Diana Ross simply demonstrates that no amount of vocal acrobatics can replace plain old simple talent. The song is beautiful enough in its simplicity and needed no further grandstanding
@warahoun If singers today wold understand. Ross's version is hauntingly beautiful, with a bittersweet tinge that pierces hard through its thorough simplicity.
And I just watched the listened to the JLo version here on youtube and the amount of people saying Jennifer's version is better makes me laugh. These people must be dreaming. Jennifer copied Mariah and tried to sabotage her career. Tommy was in on it as well. All happened from about 1999-2001. Same thing happened with Loverboy and Jennifer stole a sample from her.
@jamstrings100 no it was all Tommy...Jennifer did nothing. You should get your facts straight LMAO. And also Mariah's verses were better but parts of jennifer's were better.
I love this song but... Mariah tried too damn and it didn't have any emotion like the original Diana did... But I LOVE Jennifer Lopez's version better because I felt she kept it simple & real like Diana Ross' version & feel like she was paying a tribute to her. J. LO did this song PURE JUSTICE!!! Sorry Mariah...
i don't understand why would she be behaving like Celine Whitney etc when she's her own mariah stupid comment. Do u like it if i or anyone else like u to behave like me?? dumb comment
BEAUTIFUL!! MARIAH Can turn anything she sings into something very special...CRT FOREVER! She can turn anything that she writes into a hit and the best in her own way.
Who would ever think that Jennifer Lopez would do a better version of Diana Ross's song than Mariah Carey. Jennifer's was beautiful and flowing. Mariah tried to hard - tried to do to much to the song. It's a simple, beautiful, melancholy song. Understated but at the same time powerful.
That whispery, singing-style she started doing around this time was the official beginning of the end for voice, IMO. This performance is so FLAT, she's going thru the emotions. Yes, she can hit notes and 'blow', but there is no REAL emotion or feeling in her performance. She's a studio singer and nothing more, all flash and substance. I guess that's why her fat, crazy ass is selling JUNK on home shopping channels now. You'd never see Diana, Whitney, Celine or Barbra doing that....
@chasenip2 hahahah!! ur so f-ing stupid!!LOL any one reidn this can tell ur a hater and wish u where her,LOL!!!! i know u will say ur not but u and i and every one else knows its the truth and that all i will say ,LOL!!!!!!!!!!
@mamat0241 yeah, i like her, but her vocal gymnastics here in this song were a bit too much! and she sacrificed touching emotion by embellishing the vocals.
This Is The Best Version... The Only Problem I Have With Mariah's Voice Is That Whisper Sound If She Could Dut That Out Alot And Keep A Little Of The Whisper Sound Her Voice Would Be Perfect.. And The Whisle Note Was Just Absolutly Perfect And With Ease And The End Diana's Version Is A Classic Love Hers Tooo
I grew up loving MC's music all my life, and she's still over singing/over trilling all her songs. lol Love it, but I prefer J.Lo's version - haha I'm probably the only one that does too.
I think only 2 singers can sing a remake and give it justice or make it even better and those two are Mariah and Celine... I love them both and every cover that I have heard both do are so amazingly done
i loved it when diana ross sung it and it make me happy that mariah wants to bring the song back in her own creative version so everyone who says it sucks is just to attached to the diana ross version
you should appreciate this one because its not exactly the same as hers
@PreciousJ05 she doesn't like belting all the time. she think it boring, and she likes doin this. i love it and it's really hard. plus it's he own style hahahaha:)
Proof! Nobody can duplicate Diana Ross, so called, tinny, nasly, thin, voice. I've heard Mariah sing Michael Jackson, and Steve Perry(Journey) songs and nail 'em! But Mariah don't know where she going on this song, as much as I like her. She did it no justice.
@Rockin2222 it was written exclusively for diana by the great Micheal Masser who's worked with them all and says that diana is the best when she wants to be. Mariah does a nice job but you're right Ross' voice cannot be duplicated and is instantly recognizable the world over.
@jsfr71 yes and no one was doing music like that at the time, it was original to her.. black people weren't doing the high european thing on american radio, yet alone films about black women becoming beautiful models & more in Europe it was ground breaking at the time...these singers today just come along and mimic they don't create in the same way that greats like Ross did.
I think this one was recorded at her worst vocal era,but I love the "real" in her record,all the breathe and hoarse,...it's kinda emotional to me. I'm so obsessed with her voice. LOL

@MyTalkShow1992 1998 exactly. it was released as a bonus on european versions of #1's and rainbow and on the french version of the heartbreaker single
I have said this before on many of Mariah and Celine Covers of classic songs.. the reason their level of song reaches the ranks of the original is because they somehow make the song sound like it was written for them as an original,..and That is what a true musical artist is... someone who can take any song and make it their own... I love this version and Diana's EQUALLY
@diego2ever It wasn't a whistle at the end, it was her singing in a VERY HIGH picthced voice!!! I thought it was a whistle aswell. Look at her live video on the results beside>>>>>>
I used to listen to this song and sing it all the TIME. it's soo peaceful. I think the whistle note at the end was a nice finishing touch. She made this version her own style with the whistle note. Beautiful. =)
I love this song. I also love this pic. People are always saying this pic is photoshopped and that they streched her legs. Makes me always lol about these stupid jealous people.
Pff, either the world is stupid, or you're blind. Obviously it's Photoshopped, like every single album cover out there (not just Mariah's). Take a look at the cover for her latest album Memoirs... they Photoshopped her body (or bodies), but apparently forgot to "slim down" the shadows! Haha!
No. Here's the thing. J.Lo's version is produced better. The instruments are complimenting J.Lo's voice. With Mariah's version the emphasis is on vocal performance. Did anyone notice that she used all of her vocal range on this performance? In the first verse she goes down to her baritone level, and as the song is ending she is in her whistle register. That's hot! Like 1% of the singers out right now can do that. The production of the song is the weak point.
This version is just ok. But what makes Diana's version so special besides being the first. You can actually close your eyes and see the story she's telling. It even makes you think back about a moment or time in your life when this song may have been relavent to you. This one just doesn't do that for me. You don't do vocal styling with this song. You just let go and sing.
okay, i just listened to the jennifer lopez version and said to myself, diana ross probably sang this better. then i heard diana's version and said, ehhhh, mariah carey probably killed it. then i come on here. and i say its such a disappointment. she couldve recorded a better production.
Probably the weakest song she's ever recorded. Production-wise, I think it's on par with karaoke, and vocally far below her usual high standard. 1998 wasn't a great year for her vocally, but this just sounds like she cut it after one take and thought "fuck it, that'll do."
You'll also notice that, being a diehard fanboi, I still make the effort to listen to and comment on it, lol.
@gloomyoutlook i agree...and im a huge fan of mariahs...and this just seems...idk out of place for her a bit..like shes a musical genius, so like i dont expect any less from her, but i think its just the time she was in, like struggles and such, her voice was dare i say, bad lol
Many try to sing this song and most do a credible job, however, none does it like the BOSS. None can compare to Diana Ross. This is her song, and always will be. I applaud thos that try to emulate it, but most fall short....Long live the Boss...Miss Ross
no one's sings like mariah...her's in the best as usual...she is the queen of any song..her vocal range and style surpasses the rest. her whistle absolutely amazing....
j.lo's version is better?. hahahaha, first when you compare two singers versions, you need the two of them sing and the last time I checked only Mariah was the singer, now whoever picks a mic is called a singer, for god's sake. Of course Mariah's version is better, and the end with the whistle instead of the violins in the original sounded beautiful. Mariah all the freaking way. J.lo is not a singer, she tries but she fails though I like her as an actress
Way better than diana's version.. Not that it's hard to vocally outdo diana ross!

Jlo is more of the actor like Selena was a REALLY good movie so she do got some talent and she can dance well. i thinks its more a different type.
Mariah = Singer
Jlo = Actor

It is too much like Diana's version, so I have to give it a thumbs down
The best covers take the original and give it a new perspective that is refreshing and novel
I was expecting a group of background singers to add to the final verse, to add volume and depth.
I think it could've used a cresendo, or some more depth.
Good cover, but was missing that uumph.
A little more production and a fuller sound would go a long way here

No. Here's the thing. J.Lo's version is produced better. The instruments are complimenting J.Lo's voice. With Mariah's version the emphasis is on vocal performance. Did anyone notice that she used all of her vocal range on this performance? In the first verse she goes down to her baritone level, and as the song is ending she is in her whistle register. That's hot! Like 1% of the singers out right now can do that. The production of the song is the weak point.

JLo's version is better, but Mariah is obviously the better singer.

This version is just ok. But what makes Diana's version so special besides being the first. You can actually close your eyes and see the story she's telling. It even makes you think back about a moment or time in your life when this song may have been relavent to you. This one just doesn't do that for me. You don't do vocal styling with this song. You just let go and sing.

Diana Ross got an Academy Award nomination for her original version of this #1 song.

okay, i just listened to the jennifer lopez version and said to myself, diana ross probably sang this better. then i heard diana's version and said, ehhhh, mariah carey probably killed it. then i come on here. and i say its such a disappointment. she couldve recorded a better production.

I love me some Mariah, but this rates a zero . . . very poor vocal performance by Mariah. Diana's original simply leaves this version in the dust.

Probably the weakest song she's ever recorded. Production-wise, I think it's on par with karaoke, and vocally far below her usual high standard. 1998 wasn't a great year for her vocally, but this just sounds like she cut it after one take and thought "fuck it, that'll do."
You'll also notice that, being a diehard fanboi, I still make the effort to listen to and comment on it, lol.

@gloomyoutlook i agree...and im a huge fan of mariahs...and this just seems...idk out of place for her a bit..like shes a musical genius, so like i dont expect any less from her, but i think its just the time she was in, like struggles and such, her voice was dare i say, bad lol

Many try to sing this song and most do a credible job, however, none does it like the BOSS. None can compare to Diana Ross. This is her song, and always will be. I applaud thos that try to emulate it, but most fall short....Long live the Boss...Miss Ross

j.lo's version is better?. hahahaha, first when you compare two singers versions, you need the two of them sing and the last time I checked only Mariah was the singer, now whoever picks a mic is called a singer, for god's sake. Of course Mariah's version is better, and the end with the whistle instead of the violins in the original sounded beautiful. Mariah all the freaking way. J.lo is not a singer, she tries but she fails though I like her as an actress
