Phil Collen praised Carey's cover as a "genuine version of our song"[14] and defended it from Def Leppard's more critical fans: "The fans really get it wrong sometimes. She's on our side and it's an honour she's done it. Really, that's the only way we're getting played.
When asked about Carey's cover version, Joe Elliott told the Las Vegas Sun, "I think she's done a very good job. It's faithful to the arrangement, but not done like a rock song." Referring to Carey's whistle register vocals at the end, Elliot commented that her "astonishing vocal gymnastics toward the end...make Minnie Riperton sound like Tom Waits."[1]
I think my ears are bleeding. What garbage is this? I couldn't even finish watching. If these so called "artists" are so damned good, why do they have to destroy such a great song like that. It's even worse than Britney Spears singing 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' to the sounds of some crappy hip hop background... who the hell is going to believe them??
she does do a mean, out of key whisper though, i have to admit. nice body too. put 20lbs on her and she does not even get THE CHANCE to do cover songs like this. if it wasnt for her body, she is nothing but a pop singer past her prime. in that genre, they come and go. unlike leppards, the crue, metallica, etc....they keep on going and going and going and going.........
TERRIBLE. There are some songs, when covered by another, that you can change and put your own style in it. This my friends, is not one of them. Not only does she sound off key, but she rips out the driving beat, the very backbone of this song. This song is a classic and can only be played ONE WAY, and it aint hers. PURE GARBAGE. I cant believe she would risk her reputation by releasing this version. It disgusts me to say the least folks. Its just a shame people had to actually hear it.
@naft69 i've been a Def Leppard fan since i was a kid, (and i now have teenage kids of my own) and i gotta say, she does this song well. she did not destroy it at all! i think it's kinda nice to hear a woman singing this song! not downing your opinion, i just think your being a tad harsh...
@naft69 i saw Def Leppard in concert and would rather listen on my mac to her and watch Dave. Your flippin nuts. This is her best song and video with Dave in the back playing guitar. wow why listen to it. Your crazy or a man who won't admit he loves looking at Dave Nevaro please
@michlee310 u know what, ive played guitar for over 20 yrs. and i do not like dave nevaro. so what ur saying is it looks good to u, but im sure it would still sound like crap if u put the crackpipe down. u saw def leppard in concert? OMG u must be an official spokesperson for them since u got that kinda street credit. BAAAhaaaa haaa listen crackhead, when u got something to say thats worth my time, then reply ur little fingers off. until then, dont make yourself look stupid.
@michlee310 oh i forgot t tell you to give phil and joe my best since you become the groups offical PnR rep after you "saw them in concert". I guess since i seen them 4 times im not qualified. dammit all to hell. just my luck. BAAHaaaaaabaahhhhh lmfao.........
@kevintotoleppard um, if you didn't know, she got permission to sing this song. Would I want you to die just because you sing a song? Heck no. People do that all the time.. And why do you hope she burns in hell? She's like the greatest singer ever! And she's a very nice person. You may be a D.L fan, and I respect him, but stop insulting singers just because they cover another's song. And think about what you type twice because you're insulting half the world when you insult her.
@elcuteman16 she sing awful!! she is not the greatest singer ever!!! the best singer in the world is fredy mercury even if he's dead!! please dont dare to compare the rock music with this thing!!! have a nice day!
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Shut up haters and naysayers! Mariah Carey killed this song and her voice sounds amazing!!!!!!!!! She looks beautiful in this video and she is the best singer in the world fyi! Thanks you, you may proceed with your everyday lives now :)
I think it sucks. She puts out a half as*es effort singing all whispery for most of the song. She has a beautiful, awesome, voice. And this really sucks bad.
@kelvinpyaeko Sorry but why would I be jealous of a woman who has fake boobs and so much plastic surgery she looks unrecognizable? Plus she is so insecure of herself she needs to dance almost naked while washing a car just to make people watch her music video. I loved Mariah in the early 90's, but after her divorce from Tommy Matola she became hideous. And she blamed him for ruining her life. Stupid ho marries a man more than twice her age and then complains about him being controlling.
@WisteriaLane3454 umm you are this song is awesome she looks flippin hot dave nevaro looks flippin hotter and def leppard didn't compare live to my mac. sorry bitches. That is her song. She is so inscure wtf who are you. You fat crazy nut. She could have you your man and anyone you knew so get yourself together and stop fronting because your pretending to be better looking better singer just better then a multi million dollar recording artists. Are you a queen?
@kelvinpyaeko if, IF they praised it, common sense SHOULD tell you that it was totally just for p.r. u know, the politically correct way to respond to the effort. Some songs she sings sound great, this is about as far from great as one can be. I will even go so far as to say this " TO EVERYONE THAT 'LIKED' THIS VERSION, YOU ARE HEREBY CERTIFIED LEGALLY TONE DEAF". guaranteed. for real though, she could have done it ALOT better than what she did, this is just a bad version period.
@Katie19711 Yes her voice is 5 octaves so why doesn't she use it rather than that pathetic raspy whisper? She sounds like she's suffocating. It's unbearable to listen to.
@WisteriaLane3454 maybe you give stars singing lessons? i am trying to figure out how people can be so strange no what do you do clean up after an old lady. who are you
Respond to this video...@BRELYLE Where did you learn how to talk and spell? Whats that? Oh, did you say the same place that Mariah Carey went to learn how to sing? Okay, that explains things, I guess, like how neither one of you have any business talking OR singing out loud where other people can hear your voices.
WTF ??? WTF???? WWTTFF ????? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND GAVE THIS SKANK HO PERMISSION TO SING THIS SONG ??? WHO TOLD HER SHE COULD SING PERIOD?? THIS SOND IS BAD NEWS,I BETTER GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL UP JOE ELLIOTT,MAYBE HE DRANK THE BONG WATER....BIG MISTAKE,NOBODY SINGS DEF LEPPARD,EXCEPT FOR DEF LEPPARD.PERIOD.
Both sides are Good,but Mariah really has exceeded on this one,she rocks!When asked about Carey's cover version, Joe Elliott told the Las Vegas Sun, "I think she's done a very good job. It's faithful to the arrangement, but not done like a rock song." Referring to Carey's whistle register vocals at the end, Elliot commented that her "astonishing vocal gymnastics toward the end...make Minnie Riperton sound like Tom Waits..
It works, she kept some of the rock vibe in there, it's just a good song as long as you don't play it too different from the original it's still gonna sound good.
Should have Named this song bringing on the Headache :( If you watch the CMT show def Leppard did with Taylor Swift she pulled there songs off better then MC
GOD DAMMIT MARIAH...JUST WHEN I WAS LOSING FAITH IN YOU U BUST OUT WITH THIS AND ROCK IT OUT....FUCKING AMAZING JOB AND PROPS FOR PULLIN DEF LEPPARD COVER............LOVE YOU BIOTCH...
I'm usually not as anti-cover songs. But in this case, the original is so much better. There's so much more power and connection to the true rock era with the original. But then again, I have tons of memories with the original. I respect your preferences, but for me, the original kicks ass in this case.
Are you guys crazy? MC's version blows hard... Def Leppard should shoot her for fucking up a great song. She is nothing but eye candy, and damn DIVA! Def Leppard can sing circles around her pop cheesy ass.
this is her best cover of a song, she got no credit at all, but she should bring more pop back into her music, and a pop rock song like this. this was soooo underrated..
zeonthedevilking i need to go somewhere with dat cuz u are just hating on Mariah Carey Cannon she has more money then u would ever have in ur life pal nd if u r a real mimi fan rate this if u feel da same way thank u nd good da
@krisaf778 you're a fucking moron to say someone with over a 5 octave range can't sing this boring azz song.. she writes, produces, directs all her own music... she is still the number selling female artist in the world.. where is def leppard long gone... she has surpassed them and everyone else in number one singles including elvis douce bag.. counting 18..17 she wrote herself.. she is a legend no one even knows who boring def leppard is...
@Katie19711 def leppard and the era of hair band rock is over, but Leppard had something different about them as a rock band, this song proves it, if you listen to the original you'll see that. Not to mention, Def Leppard is still performing and writting the same type of music, which I give them credit for as their music isn't in the mainstream right now, yet they still keeep playing it. The total amount of sales non-mainstream is greater than the mainstream itself, just more diverse.
this is a def leppard song and they do it so much better with so much more passion i mean really i am not gonna respond to anyone who replys negatively to this.
I agree! Any one who says this verion is bette should be shot1 If you didnt know it ws first done by Def Leppard you need to know your facts and listen to some REAL music! The ONLY thing shes got over them is that shes HOT! And yes she has a great singing voice, but this version will NEVER live up to the original version Def Leppard did years ago.
it's better because mariah carey is singing it.. no man or women comes close to her vocals period.. 5.15 octaves.. she nailed the whistle.. def leppard can't whistle.. watch this live 2003 mall of america on the Today Show.. amazing.. def leppard gave her the rights to sing this song because they knew if she did it would be a hit plus they made money off it by mariah singing it.. she's imcomparible
Def Leppard even gave this cover some credit. "Finally someone has made a good cover of this song over the 20 years that the song has been released". gave the girl some credit at least the ending is okay) haha but obviously def leppards is 100 times better
@paintballer9329 Mariah is beautiful with her over 5 octaves.. she owns this song;.. deff leppard is a has been she is still putting out number ones.. def leppard sucks balls..thiswomenhas a whistle register...lol..u def leppard fools get a grip..they are hahas been and she is the best female vocalist in the world... stilll winning awarfs...lol
@Katie19711 Def Leppard IS NOT a has been you troll. At least they were able to handle their success without having a nervous breakdown. The bitch went cookoo she needed a good song to lift her back up. Only she didn't achieve that either. If you think you are so smart, why don't you go to the DL video and post on that thread, if you have the guts to.
@WisteriaLane3454 Who is def leppard. Whoever they are I seriously doubt they've amassed a fraction of the success Mariah has. When they sell more records than elvis that's when you can compare them to mariah. You seriously think mariah needed this song to lift her back up. Lies, she made this song if anything to stretch her muscles and show how talented she is. I guess if my favorite artist only had one good song and somebody else covered it and outdid them my panties would be in a wad to.
I typically ignore the negative comments that are always building on this cover, and instead I enjoy the music, and the video. Why would someone take the time to watch something they didn't like? I wouldn't. :)
She makes dogs ears bleed at the end.. geez... someone shut her up.. Def Leppard wins this hands down without even trying. Gloomy.. you talk out of your ass, Pop music is written for singers who are talentless, its all manufactured crap. How can you call leppard crap? over 30 years in the buisness with over 65 mill albums sold? i think not...
hey genius it's called a whistle register.. is the highest note of the human voice.. only a handful of people have it "very rare" quite sure def leppard doesn't... mariah carey has a 5.15 octave range she blows def leppard away.. just thought you should know the facts because you sound like a fool..
ok Mariah..... every person and dog on earth knows you can hit that octave....now fucking quit!!!! get over yourself and pull your head out of your botox ass
your so fucking dumb it's scary.. everyone can hit that note.. you buffoon can you? If everyone can hit a g#7 and sing in several different register like mc then where are they? no one is better than her and certainly not some stupid 80's glam rock band with long hair..please don't me laugh your embarrassing yourself. read up on whistle register and then come talk to me..your not worth my time you buffoon. def leppard is a joke grew up to them.. they never have and never will reach her fame
'Your so fucking dumb'...? I think you meant to say 'you're.' On topic, Mariah Carey may be the most talented and famous female singer in the past 15 years or so but to say she's more famous then Def Leppard is sort of unfair. The height of each person/groups fame was in different eras. Not only that, but unlike Mariah Carey, Def Leppard have not spent the last decade or so destroying the fame they created through stupidity and absolutely terrible music, much like the kind she makes now.
this sucks balls she should stick to pop and stay away from rock she fucked up a great song and i agree with yumyum533 she's so damn full of herself makes me want to puke
U took a great song ...stuck it up ur shite pipe and smotherd it in shit...
U shudnt remake a song thats too good to be remade its like remaking one of her songs like.......I think its emotions ...no one can sing it like her...and no one can beat this oringal niether.
Simply awful.
The vid,the clothes wtf? And her face expersions get on my tits shes so fucking full of her self
Oh your cool, thinkin you can be like "oh marah...leave it to the professionals." well, guess what? she is. even though im not a big fan of hers, i think she did a pretty good job of remixing the song. its ment to sound diffrent you idiot.
@sercadeti1 you are so right Mariah is better that all those other singers she is in a league of her own. this version is even better that the original, MC always cover song greatly.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Im not quite sure why Def Leppard would have given her the rights to record this song but im sure they regret it after they heard this crap.. this is probably the worst cover ever or at least in the top 5
They gave her the rights to this song because they understand that Mariah Carey, in all her awesome awesomeness, can whatever she wants whenever she wants and to get in the way of that is to defy the will of the gods and the flow of the universe, duh. Go choke on a big one.
Are you actually going to tell me Def Leppard is a legit band? Because an rnb singer covers a rock band, you people elevate a shit song and shit band to God status just to rip on the singer covering their shitty song.
This is ten times better than the Def Leppard original.
Yes, Def Leppard is a legitimate band. They play instruments, compose songs and perform them. That is a band. Mariah Carey is also quite talented. The reason people are hating on her is because they're not fans of her music, similar to how you appear to be hating on Def Leppard because you're not a fan of theirs. While your defence of Mariah Carey is understandable, your degradation of Def Leppard makes you sound incredibly stupid, and thus, people will probably doubt your opinions.
That seems reasonable, but that's not the sort of people I'm talking about. It's the kind who think all pop music is worthless, and all pop artists are untalented and a ruin on the music industry, and everyone who doesn't play pop, even if they're a complete shite band like Def Leppard, are a god send. I don't know if you understand or not, but if you don't, it's your problem.
I understand the kind of people you're talking about. They're called elitists, and while your point is valid, you're being an elitist of pop artists. I feel your point would have more credibility if you were able to view it ALL objectionally, not just artists or bands you prefer. Your hate of Def Leppard is just as blind as everyone else's of this Mariah Carey cover.
they are nothing compared to mariah carey.. she is a living legend and will go down in history they will be remembered for nothing.. do you know anything about vocal range, style, versatitlity, octaves.. she is a cross over artist she can sing any type of music.. def leppard is a joke..
She's not a living legend by anyones standards. She may have a phenomenal vocal range, but she's produced too much watered down music as of late to achieve a significant status beyond just another pop singer. I know quite a bit about vocals being that I've studied music for over 6 years. Def Leppard is remembered for many things, your comment is absolutely biased in every possible way.
@Katie19711 i agree with you mariah is an awesome singer i wish that i could sing like how she does i can only get up to d 7 and her c7 in this video was awesome and if def leppard gave her blessing to sing the song and she sung it better who the hell are people to complain i like your spirit for standing up for mc

Both sides are Good,but Mariah really has exceeded on this one,she rocks!When asked about Carey's cover version, Joe Elliott told the Las Vegas Sun, "I think she's done a very good job. It's faithful to the arrangement, but not done like a rock song." Referring to Carey's whistle register vocals at the end, Elliot commented that her "astonishing vocal gymnastics toward the end...make Minnie Riperton sound like Tom Waits..

I'm usually not as anti-cover songs. But in this case, the original is so much better. There's so much more power and connection to the true rock era with the original. But then again, I have tons of memories with the original. I respect your preferences, but for me, the original kicks ass in this case.

krisaf778 1 year ago
@Katie19711 def leppard and the era of hair band rock is over, but Leppard had something different about them as a rock band, this song proves it, if you listen to the original you'll see that. Not to mention, Def Leppard is still performing and writting the same type of music, which I give them credit for as their music isn't in the mainstream right now, yet they still keeep playing it. The total amount of sales non-mainstream is greater than the mainstream itself, just more diverse.

@Katie19711 Def Leppard IS NOT a has been you troll. At least they were able to handle their success without having a nervous breakdown.

@WisteriaLane3454 Who is def leppard. Whoever they are I seriously doubt they've amassed a fraction of the success Mariah has. When they sell more records than elvis that's when you can compare them to mariah. You seriously think mariah needed this song to lift her back up. Lies, she made this song if anything to stretch her muscles and show how talented she is. I guess if my favorite artist only had one good song and somebody else covered it and outdid them my panties would be in a wad to.

hey genius it's called a whistle register.. is the highest note of the human voice.. only a handful of people have it "very rare" quite sure def leppard doesn't... mariah carey has a 5.15 octave range she blows def leppard away.. just thought you should know the facts because you sound like a fool..

Katie19711 2 years ago
'Your so fucking dumb'...? I think you meant to say 'you're.' On topic, Mariah Carey may be the most talented and famous female singer in the past 15 years or so but to say she's more famous then Def Leppard is sort of unfair. The height of each person/groups fame was in different eras. Not only that, but unlike Mariah Carey, Def Leppard have not spent the last decade or so destroying the fame they created through stupidity and absolutely terrible music, much like the kind she makes now.

Are you actually going to tell me Def Leppard is a legit band? Because an rnb singer covers a rock band, you people elevate a shit song and shit band to God status just to rip on the singer covering their shitty song.
This is ten times better than the Def Leppard original.
gloomyoutlook 2 years ago
Yes, Def Leppard is a legitimate band. They play instruments, compose songs and perform them. That is a band. Mariah Carey is also quite talented. The reason people are hating on her is because they're not fans of her music, similar to how you appear to be hating on Def Leppard because you're not a fan of theirs. While your defence of Mariah Carey is understandable, your degradation of Def Leppard makes you sound incredibly stupid, and thus, people will probably doubt your opinions.
gunsandroses69 2 years ago 2
That seems reasonable, but that's not the sort of people I'm talking about. It's the kind who think all pop music is worthless, and all pop artists are untalented and a ruin on the music industry, and everyone who doesn't play pop, even if they're a complete shite band like Def Leppard, are a god send. I don't know if you understand or not, but if you don't, it's your problem.
gloomyoutlook 2 years ago
I understand the kind of people you're talking about. They're called elitists, and while your point is valid, you're being an elitist of pop artists. I feel your point would have more credibility if you were able to view it ALL objectionally, not just artists or bands you prefer. Your hate of Def Leppard is just as blind as everyone else's of this Mariah Carey cover.

they are nothing compared to mariah carey.. she is a living legend and will go down in history they will be remembered for nothing.. do you know anything about vocal range, style, versatitlity, octaves.. she is a cross over artist she can sing any type of music.. def leppard is a joke..
Katie19711 2 years ago
She's not a living legend by anyones standards. She may have a phenomenal vocal range, but she's produced too much watered down music as of late to achieve a significant status beyond just another pop singer. I know quite a bit about vocals being that I've studied music for over 6 years. Def Leppard is remembered for many things, your comment is absolutely biased in every possible way.

@Katie19711 i agree with you mariah is an awesome singer i wish that i could sing like how she does i can only get up to d 7 and her c7 in this video was awesome and if def leppard gave her blessing to sing the song and she sung it better who the hell are people to complain i like your spirit for standing up for mc
