[olamsia]

my most favourite despites all odds.....mariah you rule!

[faizkay1]

I'm so lucky to watch this music video here in Malaysia. Because this music video has been blocked in most of the countries. Even in the United States too.

[Coptersa007]

a very old song that never gets old *-* what i'm sayin'

[dogleider82]

i am lonley en this song help my very much it give's me hope and thats exectly what i need

[buffalobillsno1]

when i watched this video the last thing on my mind was skin color, my GOSH people lets make this world go round without those thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be a wonderful place to live:)

[jessescapone]

god how i miss you baby

[randysh1000]

ds is..

[tasha9976]

SHE IS PART OF BLACK AND SHE SING BLACK MUSIC THAT WHY YOU SEE BLACK ON HER MUSIC VIDEO.

[buffalobillsno1]

@tasha9976 sounds like you need a true friend, JESUS

[Neno8403]

@tasha9976 Mariah is Irish and Venezuelan.

[RealSistah]

@Neno8403 Her father is believed to be mostly black. Her grandfather, on her father's side, is Venezuelan. It is unknown though whether her grandfather was full Venezuelan or a mix of white or black. Her father's mother Addie, was African-American. This makes Ms. Carey probably one of the most racially/ethnically diverse celebrities out there. Irish, Venezuelan, & Black.

[kharitaskevin]

@Neno8403 shes irish, venezuelan n African origin.., get yo facts well

[logiqueillogique]

3:12 to the end is pure magic... Transcending what words can express... Her voice really reaches every soul... No one can be indifferent to this !

[AntonioElfHumback]

angel ,queen ,princess or goddess who is she thats a question

[huwatttt]

She looks like an angel at 00:50. The video is very simple but it is full of meaning. The song too is very simple but it comes from the heart.

[huwatttt]

Mariah was very beautiful in this video. She remains beautiful today but she's always trying to look sexy. :( I really love the mysterious, innocent Mariah back in the day. I hope someday she'll go back to doing music like this.

[krismeg06]

i loved her in 90'..a lot of memoris...but now i do not like her syle...

[47antony]

i loved mariah when she made this kind of music.her musics ok now but that voice was made for these songs.......................

[shomy1990m]

I've noticed in many Mariah's videos that she likes to work with black people! That is so nice and black people have very powerful voice! That's another reason why I like her songs so much! I'm not black but I LOVE their voice! And this song is simply amazing!

[amolapoesia]

@shomy1990m You do know that Mariah Carey is part black? No wonder she has such a powerful voice. lol

[shomy1990m]

@amolapoesia I didn't knew she's part black. Thanks for the info! :) I love black people and I love Mariah! :)

[KrzyLizzy]

Loved her before... Now she had a raspy voice from getting deepthroated.

[mdoemon]

yeah ryt i miss the old mariah, simple naive beautiful higher voice, but she is versatile so thats why she can shift her style completely, an old fashion style is dead bcoz she need to fight the present and future battle of pro long career of music love u mariah

[witch26071]

People there is only ONE Mariah Carey now and she sings HIPHOP!!!! Get over it!!!!! Mariah will always be the best!

[Neno8403]

I feel slow. I only found out about this amazing song because they were playing it during a Mariah interview when she was talking about Whitney Houston. This is now just about my fav tune by Mariah besides "Can't Let Go". I wish this Mariah would come back to us instead of this wannabe R&B/Hip-Hop artist.

[kandyce365000]

Love this song its so true

[mandyscott20081234]

She looks lonely at 0.29 when she closes her eyes, I paused it at that second 

[mandyscott20081234]

She was pretty back in them days, not saying that she isnt but honesly I think she is still the best singer like look at the song she sang on The X factor, I want to know what love is, that was really good

[zbyszek1525]

Coż za głos jedyny w swoim rodzaju. Dla mnie rewelacja. Violetta Villas = Mariah Carey

[feeklv]

Beautitful! I wish she wasn't so against pop right now. Well, that's the impression she gives. I ADORE her rnb side but I also love pop Mariah. But nowadays, everything HAS to be rnb or rnbed. Every ballad she does is a We belong together copy it seems. Piano with a beat.. I'm getting pretty tired of it. I'll always love her though and seeing her old vids, reminds me again why I love her so much.

[samedynamite]

Mariah carey Witeney Houston Jenifr Lopez etc ... Son dépasser par lady gaga Beyancé Riana Shakira etc ....

[kuzyax]

@samedynamite  tu connais pas la musique Mariah carey Witeney Houston sont des divas tout comme céline dion et leurs chansons ont les écoutent encore 20 ans aprés

[LilKibbles]

How can someone like Mariah Carey move on from ballads and gospel to pop when she has such a magnificent voice??? Not everyone is blessed with a voice like this... Sadly, her career kinda went down the drain after her little mood swing in music =/ I reeeeaaaally miss her old songs... She was the best singer ever imo :3

[DocAlejandroMR]

LOVED DE BALLAD AND GOSPEL MARIAH....THE BEST FOREVER AND EVER...THE GODDESS OF MUSIC

[donutstreet]

MAN SHE'S GORGEOUS.

Her voice is divine and exquisite. This song is beautiful. It's been 17 years since the production of this song. I am proud of Mariah for making it this far. She's untouchable, and a rarity amongst vocal talents. I'm so in love with Mariah and her music I don't know what to do with myself (:

[Eternityist]

I need a friend....I am so alone.

[buffalobillsno1]

@Eternityist awwwwwe want to talk I LOVE JESUS

[babooshky]

i love this song and the remix too. Reminds me of Bridge over troubled water by Aretha Franklin!

[falloon01]

GREAT

[partychicaaa]

my favorite

[joeldavid90]

Oh My God! She was greater than great!! This is Mariah's biggest song I heard, I love it! And I love the artist she was back then!! How old was she??

[whattodowithuname]

@joeldavid90

24, i guess. or at least 23, if she han't had her birthday before the single

[alilratsass]

for my virtual friends!! :)

[TheLanard]

Back then she was respected more as a good lyricist and great singer. A true artist. I loved her back then. Extremely talented and gifted. Now.....

[sheekshampoo]

@TheLanard I can absolutely relate. There is a BIG difference from what we are hearing these days compared to who she was back then. She is still a great artist. All I'm saying is, I miss the old Mariah.

[TheLanard]

@sheekshampoo Me too. I know the voice loses elasticity as it ages, but she's still so young. A lot of older artists still have most of their voice. In the case of Mariah, Whitney, and a lot of today's artists, it's definitely the substance abuse. Mariah smokes weed and drinks.

[tatianadt82]

Her musicbox album was like a feel good album(: all the songs have a meaning, that's why it was so popular, she should do music like this instead ofthe up out my face, obsessed crap :P lol but she's still great!

[somedaywewillflyaway]

I think this is Mariah's very best song. The lyrics are great. The music is breathtaking. I hope she will sing this song live on stage again someday.

[goldenralph78]

God bless your voice Mariah....

You are just amazing....

this song is just perfect....

background singers....you are flawless!!!

God bless you all and keep on singing for us....

[tati30atlascares]

This Song makes me think about about my realationship with my best friend we are always there 4 each other no matter what ?! I love Mariah she is a very talented singer ! I grow up with her ! since the earlly 90's !

[MICHAELa1979MJ]

This has always been one of my favourite songs from Mariah, back in the time when she was producing really amazing songs. And I love it even more now, since I can really appreciate the meaning of the lyrics now..........

[dani98msm]

I LOVE THIS SONG <3

[xXQueenElizabethXx1]

Just completely awesome as she is xDDDD

[6Horcruxes]

Mariah Carey is SO gorgeous. I love her.

[lovemyselfforever86]

one of her best songs. 1994

[animalprint2008]

now she is an old drunk bitch..Bow before CELINE DION

[rspict]

Absolutely right, it's a pity, but only these older songs are the proves of her magic voice not saying about her cute look....

[Jamaicanwolfboy]

i love her scream.. Mariah i known for her scream, Whitney for her Strong Vocals, Celine Dion For her Passion when she sings. and oh Toni, She makes singing on a low Note sounds so Beautiful. And thats what makes these Woman outstanding from all other female singers. Anyone else better come Good..

[JCNRBA]

@Jamaicanwolfboy The cream ur referring to is called The "Whistle note" , the highest register ever.... and it is very very rare to have it!

[VanillaNicey]

This song makes me cry :(

[rodryeminogue]

Tras musci box ,este es su mejor trabajo.

[NICKYSYMONEE]

this is when mariah was  fucking mariah

[lreid62]

At her best back in the day....

[CaLLMehDOC]

this is her in her prime

[Anonacity]

good song

[MarilynFinland]

This is such a beautiful, beautiful song. It makes me cry.

[mcatbs9]

she looks amazing and beautiful

[venduti]

..singin along xD

[vulcanju]

...linda musica...

..AMO ESSA MULHER....

[rikkki76]

Look people. I like Mariah. But you should see a video from TV show " Bulgaria Got Talent". Search in " YouTube" for 17 years old blind girl from Bulgaria and you will see that Mariah is not unique. That blind girl from " Bulgaria Got Talent " just smashed Mariah in her own wall of fame !!! You must see that !!!

[immersion111111]

@rikkki76 the girl in Bulgaria got talent sounded like Leona Lewis not Mariah carey..Mariah still have the highest notes...

[dreamdate]

damn, that girl could sing, the G5's and all, hope to hear more of her soon, could you translate what the judges were telling

[rikkki76]

@dreamdate

Of couse I can translate what the judges said. My pleasure! First judge (the bald guy) said " You are singing incredibly. I will tell you YES ". The second judge(the woman) said " You are amazing. You have YES from me too ". The third judge said " Let me tell you what. I always believe that when God has took something from you ( he means her sight ) He will give you a lot more after. YES from me too". If you need any more translation just reply. You will be welcome. Is that OK?

[rikkki76]

@dreamdate

By the way,maybe you need to know how this girl bacame blind. She was born premature and they puted her in oxygen chamber to save her life. But the nurse in the hospital has pumped in larger quantity of oxygen inside the chamber. That is why she is blind now. Because of the wrong level of oxygen. Well, they save her life, but they have took her sight away from her. God knows better.

[tallulah4life]

This is back when Mariah was my favorite artist. She didn't sing, she sang! and she wore clothes. It was about the voice and not the body. Ever since she took her clothes underwater in the 'Honey' video, it's been downhill ever since.... I miss you Mariah...

[Ciclopea2]

My thoughts exactly, well put :-)

[joelx2x]

i agree with u..but shes still good nowadays..

[ikwoma82]

I bought the album music box then when I was11 years old!It was her best I think!So many memories...

[dlnl1478]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ramarama199]

bich ,she got vocals

[venduti]

luv it!^^

[silvena86]

so beautiful,so natural,so inspiring, so unbelieveable then...

now...just the opposite: trash music, trash looks,trash fakeness all the way...trashy trash.

[TheXMx19]

she's beautiful. :)

[JWatyourdoor]

I got goosebumps, but I don't get them when I hear the new stuff.

[silviabrankova]

Too bad she's not the same anymore,graet song ,great voice!!!

[carmenhuerta]

that comment was to this freak 'sghdpa: This is Leona's Lewis lovely song! :)'

[FebruarMoonShine]

I love this song.

[Silviu006]

awesome song!! this one should've reached #1 on Billboard Hot 100 too!! Mariah i love u, you're the best!!

[tAmAwItZa]

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

Love will make it alright

Dea,volim te! :) ♥

[armst012]

Old school Mariah over new school Mariah..

[latrixiemae]

I miss this Mariah, too. No fluff-just a good voice. powerful voice! Great stuff!

[kharitaskevin]

i miss this kind of Mariah....!! just dont like the present ,,..wenever i listen to her old music i get goose bumps...!! she was simply the best ..

[sayka167]

@kharitaskevin you are sooo right...

[tonijr5551]

@kharitaskevin Yes, i agree, she can no longer sing this high, the choice of music is also diffrent

[yani2485]

@kharitaskevin Think the same, she was unique! love her in that moment

[SEHEFERN]

@kharitaskevin yeah i understand .. but in e of mimi, she sing so much good songs..

like fly kie a bird , and in mc2 you have i wish you well, and the last album is amazing.. every songs are very good.. if she kept this way for singing , she would be boring with time .. it's good to try different kind but i agree that she always does her thing ..

i like this song song , but , heatbreaker or obssesd are really good to..

[kharitaskevin]

@SEHEFERN she was a goddess, now shes shadowed by the better in that field, this was best , coz its inspiring .., i 4 one likes this music, oldies of celine, whitney, mariah, faith Evans, vanesa williams.., cant change me !! i dont like her current songs.., listen to "Anytime u need a friend " and Obsessed", compare n contrast the validity of the voice .., she was princess of soul !

[SEHEFERN]

@kharitaskevin yeah she was queen of soul , and she still got the soul ...! obssesd it's a funny song , and it's good for an artist to be funny sometimes , .. in her new album you have other songs like it's a wrap or inseperable ,it's great very emotionel ,..

and it what i expect of her ...

to give emotions whit a beautiful and unique voice ..

but i understand you to be desapointed of her new style .. but i keep saying that she still got the soul

[deonoxivar]

@kharitaskevin listen to her I Want To Know What Love Is

[kharitaskevin]

@deonoxivar ohh ive listened it as well.., its just as good as Anytime u need a friend but that was back in the day !!! these days shes on the run with Eminem something she cant manage .., feud aint 4 Divas xxx !! she was a godess ..I wanna know wat love it a great video on OVI for Nokia phone users

[deonoxivar]

@kharitaskevin back in the day? She covered IWKWLI on 2009..

[mimimariajudith]

she is an angel...almost perfect)

[casablancahero]

Happy valentine Samantha & John! Special for you:)

Sincerly Samir

[Cherbaby66]

this is when mariah was at her best...

[MarcAC]

Timeless...

[mt4ds]

Damn it dis is better than sex... lol i kill myself

[MissyJayG]

One of my favourite songs ever! Hope this doesn't get taken off by Sony but I think it will. Suddenly, they are taking off all Mariah's videos. :(

[sahara603]

thanks. this song cleans my soul. "I can see clearly now" - my energy is back. thanks :-)

[50BLINGBADMADTING]

she changed her stiyle, completely, from her gosple voice to her pop, she was way better back then tho,. if she kept it up she could of been a legend, not saying she is now tho of course she is, but she could of did bigger things

[shennae]

i love this song

[boysunog61]

@50BLINGBADMADTING

mariah is better way back and become average to pathetic when she starts doing pop than ballads and worst of it is that she collaborate with stupid rap

mariah is still a legend but also had downfalls later part of his career and become a sugar mommy of nick cannon

[jessica135791]

@50BLINGBADMADTING i agree but MC was is & will alwyas remain THE BEST AL TIME SINGER...ther was never anyone is anyone or will be anyone lke her on earth......she's totally awesome & to all haters who dislke her, u must hv interest if u watch to comment...so we love yall 2...lol...

x0x0 Felicia

[Sall80]

@50BLINGBADMADTING I prefer the old Mariah too but do you think that if she kept making this kind of music she would still be relevant? Her change in style has actually saved her career from falling like what happened to 99% of the 90s artists...But I gotta admit, if she made more songs like these again, I wouldn't care if they would become hits or not. I'd still be thrilled!

[ninomeshi89]

@50BLINGBADMADTING u got a point.. but if she had not change her style, she would not be in full circle plus she may not be able to talk if she has remained like this. her voice changed a lot.

[Sj2690]

shes really a great singer...i dont know how can i thank her because everytime i heard her songs it really touch me...i mean she put feelings on her songs...thats all

[vchaka]

love this song, it has so much substance..music box is probably her greatest CD....My most sincere condolences to Aileen in the UK who lost her dad...am here always, love you much...

[kharitaskevin]

One of the Best songs Mariah has sang....!!! i really love it...cant stop listening to it...!!

[fonz0211]

i really like the meaning of this song...

[ImSoAwsomexoxo]

ha, my names mariah!

[Ciclopea2]

One of my favorites,with all the diva/celebrity bullshit we forget how amazingly talented this woman actually is,not to mention how beautiful she looks on this vid,great song.

[alexavv37]

I love you mariah .. you are amazing

[20junnie]

i really love this song, it's so touching...

[bstump06]

That is her voice. She's known for being able to hit those high notes. She doesn't do it live very often because it's difficult to do.

[ghettoking766]

iLuv it but how did she go frm makin such powerful music to y u so obssed with mi i like that song though and this one

[blkcoverboy]

AMAZING!

[dobromirmanev]

Guys,these are small details :) I'm just enjoyng the song.the lyrics,Mariah's voice and the very strong choir.Take care :-)

[dobromirmanev]

The powerful voice and the emotions of Mariah Carey she's put into this song with these great lyrics that make an enormous sense.Great Job,Mariah :-)

[Raynbow11]

i still dont know how she is not called THE VOICE! BOTH WHITNEY AND MARIAH ARE EXCELLENT BUT MARIAH HAS THE EDGE!!

[steamyboy69]

Let's face it, Whitney got caught up in drugs, i know she's tryin to pick up the pieces, but it is too late, it's too late now becuase her voice is all messed up, Whitney sounded better in her My love is YouR LOVE aLbuM. Mariah is my good LuCK ChARM :)

[selujlyrad04]

Well, why don't y'all create a new title for Mariah, then? Whitney is known as The Voice, regardless of whether her voice is but a shadow of what it once was. Love them both, though.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite Mariah songs. The power she inserts into her vocal here is just spine-tingling. YES! YOU KNOW IT"S ALRIGHT!

[dreamdate]

The Range:d

[Raynbow11]

thats not a whistle note..its an instrument duh

[dbossmx]

@Raynbow11

are you sure about that? she makes the mouth movements like she is singing the whistle note. To me I thought it was obvious but I could be wrong.

[Litalici0us]

@dbossmx Lol I think it's an instrument too cause in live she's not hitting this note

[MCFanForLife1]

@Litalici0us its her real voice, nobody wants to or can do it all the time live cos it will just mess up her voice silly..

[danelian24]

Nope its a whistle... and wat kind of instrument is dat??..

And you can hear that she said '' YESSSSSS''

[SKtaurus1982]

the best singer ever

[ableblue]

Beautiful song! what happened to Mariah? she used to actually sing!

[dbossmx]

love the background whistle note at 1:39. The whole song is beautiful....god I love early Mariah.

[catzmeow14822]

Yes, EARLY Mariah!

[ddsgds3]

is that really a whistle note?

[dbossmx]

I think so. sounds like it to me.

[Ineddiblehulk]

no way that's not her voice, it's instmental

[MCFanForLife1]

@Ineddiblehulk are u dumb! thats her voice!, its clear this must be the first time you've heard of her lool

[sghdpa]

This is Leona's Lewis lovely song! :)

[carmenhuerta]

what the hell are you on about

[JulieP8]

Beautiful woman!

[DaintyDeema]

Great song, back when she was wholesome.

[11lambmariahcarey]

it's her best song!!

[mziklvr]

AMAZING SONG!!

[SoulfullySweet]

Anytime I need a friend Mariah you are always here. For the past 16 years of my life you have been there. I love you.

[fessiesume]

[ThePlaylist13]

this song makes me cry when i feel lonely!!! lol that was corny but hey!!!

[kharitaskevin]

Think of a gud friend ....and bring on Mariah`s lovely song..!!! Anytime u need a friend..i will be there...<3 <3

[Calidude80]

This was the real Mariah. Not the empty shell she is now.

[Angelfully]

No this was the Mariah you wanted her to be. Mariah was forced to be toned down around that time by Tommy. She was always a free spirit and she's still herself today. If you don't like it...boo whoo

[Angelfully]

She's trash? What about songs like Fly Like A Bird, Outside, Angels Cry, Saving Grace, Mine Again, Never Too Far, Reflections, Through The Rain, I Stay In Love, H.A.T.E U, Can't Take That Away, etc.

I don't care if you are "older." You are obviously a person who doesn't listen to her music. You hear the singles, but not the albums. Step your music game up

[nightcat94]

Even the younger person can outsmart the older peron My child.

[SoulfullySweet]

Calidude80 you are the only trash

[Calidude80]

@SoulfullySweet I have no time for children. Be off with you child.

[patryks81]

she's just amazing , luv u Mariah

[TheFanEntertainment]

i luv her

[sarahn2k7]

this is one of my most favourite songs ever, i think Mariah is amazing and so is her voice.

[Kango]

This song, like the whole album Music Box was the greatest one.:) Cheers from Poland
