there are certain songs from certain singers you just dont cover, it just so happens that its most of steve perrys songs, especially this one. she can do oh sherry but not open arms.
Check out Ashley Tucker singer from Massachusetts 1 of her songs...yet to be signed in on youtube .... it is called Weekend also used in the now cancelled FOX Tv series Terminator the Sara Connor Chronicles....so check it out!! Scene from Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 Episode 9 Complications (Extended Version
forget about the journeys version,, this is mariah,, this is A Female version of the song,,, there's no originality at all if she will copy the original version.. so shut up,.. and we have a diffrent taste in music,, i love this version....
Good version, but nothing compared to Perry, and I have never really loved this song. He just has the emotion. She makes it more about her vocal capabilities (which are great) than about the lyrics.
I love Mariah Carey a lot, but Journey's has a little more feeling.. Maybe because it's their song.. Just like anyone who sings Mariah's songs will never do it as well as she does. And anyone who says Mariah can't sing is just irrational and doesn't know how to explain how amazing she truly is!
@krazyshorty89 ha ha. Journey didn't write nor ever cover "I want to Know what Love is". That is a Foreigner song. Ha ha ha ha. It's even funnier that 3 people gave your post a thumbs up! LOL!
Leave The Woman Alone,You Are Not Up There Singing,Singing Is Difficult That's the Beauty Of Mariah She can Vocalize Without Any Effort ,Listen To The Butterfly Album.
@forevermexican LMAO have heard Emotions live. I went to a concert when she singed it. Atlantic city on her tour. She can still blow. Go to her next concert.
I adore this. Yes she does a lot of vocal runs but unlike most of the time, I don't think she oversung the song. Mariah, who popularized melima, is one of the few singers who actually knows when to use melisma/ vocal runs and they fit the moments and melodically makes total sense. This is actually one of her songs I feel really emotional when I hear it. Sounds corny but I do. Some people abuse melisma and are aaaall over the place but not Mariah imo. She has an amazing ear for melody.
@youajew That's the point it gives shape to the song, if you know how a real soul song sounds you would know she kill this song vocally, meaning she made this song into a powerhouse emotional ballad
Ioved it, and I've never heard Journey's version so she actually helped me to even know that it exists! if you don't like it, then I suggest you listen to the other version,thanks
ha original is allways best buddy she is not bad, i was just saying compaired to journeys original version it was not that great i just am a huge journey fan thats all
i couldnt think of a worse tribute to journey or steve perry. she really does butcher it, i understand she has 8 octaves etc, but she totally messes this song up, in her own uniue way. every word she says lasts a few seconds longer than it should, like a trademark of hers :l
wow only shitty idiots in here...who the fuck is perry? n how much this shit sold?n what achievements does this idiot has? n how many camp mariah this idiot have? stfu u shitty haters! theres not gunna be born anutha 1 lk Mariah so go n keep on sucking dick as ya'll usualy do :)))shhhhhhhh suckerz!:))

I HATE singers like mariah carey. People who try to do too much with a song. If you listen to the original Journey version it's so much more, you can feel Perry's emotions in his voice. I'm afraid when someone like mariah carey gets hold of a truly beautiful song it becomes just another manufactured 'trying too hard' pointless cover.
you are such a hater! There is no one that can sing like that woman. No one! Dont get me wrong, I love Perry, but don't hate on Mariah just cause you cant sing her songs. ...hater! envidiosa!
Yeah ok i may have gone a bit over the top, but still i don't care how much you love this song no cover of open arms can match Steve Perrys version for raw emotion. And i'm afraid that Mariah Careys version doesn't contain emotion many people think it does but it's NOT EMOTION it's just warbling. Beautiful songs are often the simplest because raw emotion only comes through when humanity is at its weakest, so as long as Mariah Carey is trying too hard it just will never really have emotion.
All right I like Steve Perry/s version a lot better but I just hateit when people talk about Mariah when the bitch has 8 octaves which means she can sing anything...Perry's Open Arms just is interpreted with more feeling.
@mydiaz74 i wouldnt say with more feeling.....she's just tryin to out do perry. which cant happen cause it would probably be a different story if she was a dude.
im sorry but i dont like her version. i think she over did it. its supposed to be a simple, soft, song, not vocal changes on every note... she needs to stick to her own music... the only other people that can sing this song is Journy and one or two people i've heard sing in person... this is just to much for such a simple song. Sorry Mariah, but dont try to sing this classic!
