Mariah Carey - Emotions + Lyrics

[0Tala]

Best singer ever

[nakajimatsujimoto]

que buen tema

[Trixiescreamyname]

O nd by the way, hayley willams also has a whistle register. :)

[mimi817499]

@Trixiescreamyname who is that

[Trixiescreamyname]

The emotions sued her for this song bcuz apparently she stole the name and music from them. But I dont think they wouldve sued if she wasnt any good. I think its the fact that shes pretteir nd can sing better than they ever could. Dnt get me wrong, best of my love is a classic.

[motrojam]

She has an amazing vocal range! I was told i have a good range (as I can sing anywhere from soprano to bass almost).. but this..? Woah man.

[lovemyselfforever86]

i hit those notes when i was 9 years old though lol

[08Cdancer]

@lovemyselfforever86 Then puberty happens lol

[nic072789]

Wow idc who u are Whitney,patti, aretha, Minnie, who can touch these notes? Her voice is out of this world. She's the greatest give that voice the props it deserves...

[LittleVMKGirl2]

This is the hardest song to sing EVER!! but i still love it :)

[love70759]

[kia7586]

[dwmusic147]

[108selena]

[GeorgiaPeach87]

Not one, not ONE can singer in the industry can touch this song...that alone puts her in a league of her own

[rossgardiner]

Absolutely amazing!! Love this song! :D

[TheDudeabides247]

true talent. An amazing singer. queen. BUT a predecessor to the true queen, Minnie Riperton.

[MrClaydoy]

People try to do the whistle and fail every single time. :')

[kijon14]

i love this song :)

[homeofthejets2011]

i love this song it is amazing and no one can hit those notes like she can and sound that amazing! ive probably listened to this song 100 times since last ngiht lol i watched the live video and it was just as great if not better and a lot of singers dont sound near as good live as they do in studeo

[an6elifi]

In my childhood, I only knew Mariah for her romance with Luis Miguel. Now I know that she is a great singer!

[skyblue3219]

No one would dare

[MilesInferno]

i wouldn't dare attempting to sing this song .

hahaha omg..

[omhat]

man i love how she can enhance songs that are made.

[DaleyDouble]

Sonic 1 Music: Labyrinth Zone!

[NausAllien]

To be objective, Mariah has a better range than Whitney and also has whistles (Whistle Register), but her tone is way less appealing than Whitney's, so I think they're kinda even in vocals.

[bartronZ]

@LoveOfMyLife69 nor does it change the fact that Mariah is better!

[zblamm2121]

Without a doubt this is the most difficult song to sing of all time, and of course only mariah can hit the notes

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

How the fuck did Beyonce come up on a Mariah Carey video? Shut that shit up.

[nic072789]

@luhkelsgoinhard93 word its like compRig a queen to a peasant sorry bee but on ur best day u couldnt touch mRiah vically joined can her octave range is insane

[nic072789]

@nic072789 comparing* mariah* vocally* nobody*

[barbaraolfers]

@LoveOfMyLife69 Exactly :)

[bartronZ]

@LoveOfMyLife69 So whats your point?

[jazzimanGAKISAN]

Emotion is everything to human's life.

[FlareHazard]

Nicole Collins' audition of this song was breathtaking.

[NeoNxMizz]

i can hit that note....... in my dreams x3

[blobzt]

loveeeeee her!



[bossb510]

I cant even hum the high notes! LOL

[GFMarshallx1]

Who else just HAD to come here after listening to Nikki Collins from X Factor USA just butcher this song to the point of being accused of animal cruelty and almost being charged with aggravated assault against the ear drums, and crimes against humanity's music? Listening to Mariah's perfect singing was like PTSD rehab for the sense of music...hush... its ok... Mimi's here...Emotion will never be butchered again...(me dreaming about motorboarding Mariah)...Wait no, too much she's married. sigh.

[UniqualovesAustin]

@GFMarshallx1 I hear you and if you don't have a whistle register don't try to do it you will hurt your voice.I love the way Nici said I have been singing since I was a girl and no one told you suck.

[cataclysmicbiscuit]

Damn she hits notes so high that she could easily shatter a glass mansions!

[BostonianLady]

1989

[SerenaWoodsQB]

it's Amazing How She Can Go From Billie Holiday Low to Dolphin High .

[EvanescenceXKISS]

I can awkwardly hit the high notes for some reason......

[xxXsugarushXxx]

i would give ANYTHING to have her voice!

[mimi817499]

@xxXsugarushXxx me to everytime i try to sing this my voice cracks :(

[SirIsManly]

i listen to this like every morning in my room when i'm putting on makeup or something, it always makes it funner :D i kill the repeat button !

[deeteedub]

Mariah was sued by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire and the Emotions for stealing the beat/tempo and structure of this song from the Emotions "Best of My Love." She lost the suit and had to pay damages to both parties ...

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

@deeteedub :O Really? Dang that's fucked up.

[dl8a]

@deeteedub thats what i said when i first heard this song, it sounded too much like the Emotions song, "Best of My Love".

[AtomicKitty2006]

D:< WHO ARE THE NINE FCKERS WHO DISLIKED THIS!? 

[rachalmond]

@AtomicKitty2006 me. LOL JOKES. :D

[VulgarTeacake]

This is out of my range.

By that, I mean the low parts in the beginning.

You cannot possibly understand the disappointment of learning those high notes, only to still not be able to sing the song.

[iwannacomein]

I'm a dude and once I tried to do those high notes...

What happened to me?

Well, besides the fact that I failed miserably, I had to get through a vocal cord surgery.

Conclusion: Mariah's high note are beyond human reach.

[QJH4]

@iwannacomein wy did u do that?

[SirIsManly]

@iwannacomein :l thats scary stuff, are you okay??

[iwannacomein]

@SirIsManly Yea, I'm fine now. xD

[SirIsManly]

@iwannacomein did it hurt??

[tionluvs2dance2music]

@iwannacomein Well,your a guy and of course you would strain. Lmao. I love Mariah Carey and her vocal range was incredible but it wasn't beyond human reach. Any women that could sing and has a full Soprano voice can hit those notes, minus the whistle because everybody can't do that.

[vivita98]

@iwannacomein i can actually do them :D 

[22Coolboilanu]

@iwannacomein I KNOW RIGHT IT KINDA SOUNDS LIKE AN INSTRUMENT!!:P

[kinagurl11]

her voice gives me chills !! shes amazing :)

[RhakarkX]

im sorry to say but Mariah Carey is by far the greatest femal vocalist of our generation. she tops whitney hourton and beyonce

[CandyCaine89]

@RhakarkX Not trying to start an argument or anything but I disagree with you on her being above Whitney Houston. I think her and Whitney are on the same level when it comes to being the greatest of the divas but I STRONGLY agree with you on the Beyonce thing, lol. In my book Whitney and Mariah are THE VOICES!!!!!!

[lilshirochancookie]

yaaaay mariah had her baby twins!!....congrats for her and nick!

[andrelemi]

what's the genre of this song?

[jakey1126]

@andrelemi rnb/dance

[HybridDom]

@andrelemi amazing

[moonshinevessel]

I miss this Mariah Carey...

[heyfuzzycub]

this sounds like "best of my love" by... the emotions!

[bartronZ]

Sit down Beyonce, Mariah was & always will be better...

[menimEisevoLyrics]

@bartronZ Beyonce isn't trying to be like Mariah or anyone else so why do people keep comparing her to other female singers? She can sing, Mariah can sing. just leave it at that and focuse on Mariah since this is MARIAH'S song.

[bartronZ]

@menimEisevoLyrics I never said that Beyonce is trying to be like Mariah or anyone, I'm just saying I think Mariah is a better singer than Beyonce, Rihanna, Pink, Gaga or any of the other crap on the radio these days. Mariah is better & the fact that you& others are still listening to her songs over 20 years after they were released just proves Mariah is better!

[barbaraolfers]

@bartronZ This is not about being best, it's about being good. Their both good enough. That's it.

[bartronZ]

@barbaraolfers everyone is entitled to their own opinion, mine is that Mariah is much better



[barbaraolfers]

@bartronZ I know :) And I think their both awesome, lol.

[bartronZ]

@barbaraolfers :)

[TheMCLamb4ever]

@bartronZ Tell that to Whitney as well.

[bartronZ]

@TheMCLamb4ever you're right, Whitney was great until she got on the crack & started losing her false teeth

[Alohamuta88]

@bartronZ OPINION

[IdRatherBinADream92]

2:46-2:50 best part ever lol

[IdRatherBinADream92]

0:26 love the hairstyle,it looks makes her look sweet

[barrioslim]

man this was my favorite song back when i was 13... man this makes people of my age feel old, but at least we grew up on much better music than youngsters have nowadays. mariah carey may be pop, but pop was so much better in the 90's than the music now

[bartronZ]

@barrioslim you are so right

[JaReDHeRnAn]

great song

[deffensh]

9 people don't have emotion.

[PowerFranco]

@deffensh 10 stupid people don't have EMOTIONS

[krystleemindfreakk23]

@deffensh lmfao. for some reason that made me laugh

[Chantilly63]

@kcmet79 yeah, lol' then theyy have a seriious problem iif they dont at least have one.

[XxxLovelyMelodyxxX]

I can do it!!! :D

[fayfoofa]

@RandumDollTM ya, i can. well, not as perfect. but really sounds good! :D

[GeorgiaPeach87]

God was feeling good the day he gave out voices and Mariah was next...lol

[RandumDollTM]

i wonder if anyone else can sing that song?

[DanielAvilaAGT]

No wonder Mariah Carey always gets mentioned on those talent competition shows!

[BlackcakesFL]

i live next to a rail road track and when everytime i hear the whistle...I GO YEP OLD

MARIAH IS COMING ON TROUGH TOWN....lol

[KujaTranceFF9]

8 People are jealous they can't sing like Mariah :I

[estersitta]

Wow, she's just unbelievable!!!

[KareemAT89]

Does Mariah make a whistle note too when she's having sex? Just askin'...

[beyonaa47]

@KareemAT89 i said tha same thing like wile her and nick are havin sex

[MiaaniDaprincess]

THIS is why i LOVE mariah carey <3 my favorite artist <3

[intheestudio]

I can hit those notes, I already have. Thank God!

[laxaza]

those notes r only for her, if i tired them i dont think i would be able to talk for 2 weeks. lolz

[memymusicloveables]

I love singing all Mariah's songs and making myself believe I can hit those notes at 10 at night.. ! (: I love Mariah, but I don't think my neighbors do anymore..

[karyko92]

@memymusicloveables OMG... Same here... then my mom literally told me to shut up

but my neighbor is 10xxxx worse

[SpunkStalker101]

Mariah's music from the 90's is the best.

[kcmet79]

2:57 is Mariah a microtone flat on her "eh eh!" ? Maybe it's just the effect or the fact its sliding up.

Not sure I've ever noticed a pitchy moment whatsoever on any of her albums, til now anyway

[Maranedy]

One of, if not the hardest, song to sing....

gah!

[booger1818]

Homegirl could sing the whole scale back then. Only Mariah, neither Whitney nor Celine could pull that off even back in the late 80's and early 90's.

[mjm1020]

90s!

[LIgirl527]

damn that girl can belt one out like nobody's business!!

[NationalMan]

this was when Mariah was good... hahah. :)

[petfan1202]

@NationalMan what do you mean shes still good

[NationalMan]

@petfan1202 Her hayday was back in the 80s. She's just not the same anymore.

[petfan1202]

@NationalMan well what do you expect shes 41 years old, and when you do those kind of vocals over and over ..especially the really highnotes it can ruin your voice. ask anyone thats a singer. but she still got it. and at least we know shes not fake. non like singers now a days. all they make is autotune songs and cant sing live

[Nikelea]

@NationalMan 80s? Really?

[ladyuggboots]

I can sing this! :-)

[cookiedeeh]

Old school Mariah.. Nothing better than old school Mariah songs!! Love love love!!

[3DOTSS]

3:58 HOLY SHITTTT!!!!

[cooolness3]

I am so good at singing this.

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH*

Hellz yeah!!!

[sidracullenbieber]

ONLY Mariah carey can sing this. <3

[lailabunny123]

@sidracullenbieber yh but we still try lol

[AngeloDiCielo]

@sidracullenbieber I actually just sang it with the notes at the right pitch. Seriously, I either have a secret way of hitting them or my years of screaming paid off. :)

[sidracullenbieber]

@AngeloDiCielo well then you're talented gurrl. (:

you should post a cover ! (:

[AngeloDiCielo]

@sidracullenbieber Thank you, but it's not that easy as you can probably guess, but I can certainly try again. 

[sweetbaby103]

wow... that was amazing... i have a new favorite song...

[SholaMind21]

I used to be able to do those screams but I did em too much and now they're gone :'(

[TheScreamingDan]

i can get those notes if i inhale scream them  :P

[rekoonsghjkl]

@TheScreamingDan me too I can hit notes like this easy but mine don't count.

[thunder11able]

guys anybody can do what mariah does u just need to be traind like she was and practice day and night

[OlSkoolMusiQueen]

@thunder11able Don't agree with that assessment.  You can either sing or you can't.

[rekoonsghjkl]

@thunder11able Yes but she had natural talent too. Her mother was practicing for a part in an opera and while practicing she heard her 3 year old Mariah singing what her mother was singing word for word and note for note in Italian.

[MsShanice10]

@2010DA so

[themodel4u]

only if i cud sing lik mariah lol...

[loveaffair79]

@ 1:01 was a good pic

[19MenACE14]

I definitely hear the sample from "The Emotions" - Best of My Love...

[aquaking32]

is it sad that I can hit those high nights and I'm guy

[gameoverjoker]

I tried singing this and i sounded like MICKEY MOUSE

[mercedesshalay]

@gameoverjoker me too...except I sounded like Mickey Mouse being strangled

[sweet2jade]

listen to that voice... hit them notes gurl... i love mariah

[CottonSkelCandy]

Her VOICE is higher then the heavens above. c: ♥

[amaiznme222]

@CottonSkelCandy yeah!! she is an Earth Angel!! i could always tell! its in her eyes and in her voice, that She Really IS!

[QuorumOf1]

Up there with Michael and Freddy Mercury

[EliteBusJr]

mariahs whistle register is only found amongst 1 in every 10,000 singers, the ones that do have it, dont know they have it

[Punky3011]

@EliteBusJr im one of those 10,000 singers with that high pitch:)

[thatchickulike89]

@Punky3011 I have that high pitch too :)

[azureblues]

Incredible voice, Mariah is hot.

[Southernmetalhippie]

6 people were about to click the Like button, but Mariah's sustained C7 caused their windows to totally shatter, making them flinch and inch their cursor to the right.

[purpleluckystar]

Respond to this video...  love this...

[chuckr166]

absolutely incredible, i can't handle how her voice hits that note at 2:48 to 2:52, that's the best note ever sung by anyone.

[david19957]

send me a message if u wnat me to make a chimpmuck version

[kev7978]

I tried to do the whistle part, and no voice came out from my mouth.

[smiilee061388]

sing*

[smiilee061388]

thhis has got to be one of the hardest songs to sings.. EVER..and of course she makes it look easy wtf

[Aksaja37]

i swear shes an alien...no human should be able 2 hit those notes!!!

[PrincessZeldaRocks]

@Aksaja37 hahahaha actually she has a VERY VERY VERY RARE wistle regester and thats how she sings so high. i did a little research yesterday.

[GeorgiaPeach87]

Ok maybe she did have voice lessons and practices, big deal. All I'm saying if it was easy everyone would be doing it and sound like this. She's obviously gifted.

[henry14000]

Similar melody/rhythm to "She's a super lady" by Luther Vandross

[MjWifeyForLifey]

i think she had a nose surgery

[GeorgiaPeach87]

if you have to practice for years and years and years to get her voice, just stop! she was born with this, no lessons...you either got it or you dont. she was blessed

[runnersdialzero33]

@GeorgiaPeach87 Oh yeah, I doubt she ever practiced to get as good as she is. lawl. I'm sure she practiced pretty often on her own even if she had no professional voice lessons.

[Almostfamous897]

@GeorgiaPeach87 Mariah Carey started voice lessons when she was four, her mother was a voice teacher.

[LovableNails]

@GeorgiaPeach87 omg i didnt know it was a gift i can do but not like mariah lol but im practicing

[GeorgiaPeach87]

her voice is heaven sent wow those notes are serious

[Vampirewolfchick]

I love this song it makes me feel how i feel with my Boyfriend

[uberathlete]

Just a question to the smart people out there. Does constant whistling in any way "destroys" one's voice?

[zblamm2121]

@uberathlete it probably could if you do it ALOT

[jessmjfan989]

im inlove with this song, i first listened to it yesterday for the first time i LOVED it!!

[cab12000]

@jessmjfan989 for the first time???? pls tell me u were born in the 2000s, if not there i s no excuse

[jessmjfan989]

@cab12000: born in 1989, i know a few of her songs, but i never heard this one until recently... is that a problem for you?
