I can't believe Chante hasn't released this as her own. She's practically the reincarnation of Minnie! Come on Chante!! It was meant to be your modern day trademark!!
I remembered this episode when it originally aired. Chante Moore did an incredible rendition, but, I prefer Shanice's original cover to this. Shanice's version is the greatest next to Minnie's.
@Neno8403, I so agree with you. Shanice version from 1991 is truly the best next to Minnie. Every time I hear it, I have to stop and listen because it takes me to a better place.
I agree that this is a beautiful, romantic version of the classic "Loving You". Chante is definitely one of the most under rated femal singers of our time.
This, for me is the prettiest rendition of this song that I have ever heard, and I've heard it remade quite a few times. She took her time, she didn't need to belt and her voice was beautiful. Her whistle was controlled, and not rushed, and it was on point. She killed this song. I wish she would've recorded it.
i concur w/ kawaii and andrea... this is a very good cover of a classic.. we all know minnie ripperton's voice cant be duped, but i say chante's cover bested shanice's cover because unlike shanice, chante made it her own...
Thank you sooo much for putting this up! I've been wanting to hear chante's version for ages, because next to minnie this is the best cover of this song. Some people have tried to make it more r&b-ish but it sounds best like this. This is also one of my fave episodes of girlfriends. Thanks soo much
Sure wrong! Shanice versions outdo this. Yes Chante has a nice voice and it suits the setting, but Shanice is the closest to Minnie, especially when it comes to the whistle - Chante sounds like Mariah, too breathy, and not crisp and clear like Minnie/Shanice. Anyways, I respect your opinion.
Chante Brings class and perfection to this song, Shanice sounds like she's rushing thru the song to hit the whistle note, but this version CHANTE makes hers. Chante and Tamia are the most underated singers
You are definitely a JOKE! Firstly, Shanice's version on 'Inner Child' was produced and arranged by Narada M Walden, so Shanice sang it how he wanted her to and for the past 18 yrs Shanice is the only one who is recognized for it. Secondly, Shanice version on her 2006 album is untouchable by any of her contemporaries. idk what's your problem, when Chante's whistle here did not flow in the expected manner. In fact all I'm hearing is hot air, now I know why Mariah never ever tried it.
lol are you like serious???lol!!!! chante fukkin killed this song im not saying that shanice did not do a good job but it seems like every song chante covers she always makes it her own sorry to say she did better than shanice from beginning to end all respect to shanice though but this was chante's spotlight
there is no need to feel bad if you like shanice that's cool with me i have nothing against her at all i lvoe her voice it's just that some singers have certain voices hat just fit songs better take chante for instance "lovin you" is more of a romantic type of song where as chante is practically the Queen of romance vocals and shanice is more of a powerhouse type of singer
I have almost all of Minnie's recordings and at no time her whistle ever airy/breathy. That's why imho Shanice best compared to Minnie as hers can be strong yet flexible and sweet altogether. Chante like Mariah have that airy sound that may compliment their songs at times, but it's not the breathiness here, it's the fact that it didn't flow like Minnie and Shanice. But I still love Chante voice.
I didn't mean that Minnie's whistles were airy, of course they're not. Also, not all of Mariah's are airy. That's what so unique about her voice. There are so many textures to her voice. She's not always breathy.
I have been listening to Mariah since 1990 and I know Mariah's voice from a far distance. Yes she had a rich voice but as for textures apart from her whistles her voice has 2 tones her alto and her falsely produced soprano tone. Her voice is not like a Shanice who can make you stop and wonder who is that? As for her whistles, they are either breathy or piercing and you will agree that the only time they are not breathy is when she hits them at a fast speed, but they are okay for her songs.
Mariah has her lower register, her whisper register, her belting register, and her whistle register. In each of those registers she has a very rich tone.
Yes, and Shanice also has her Lower, Whisper, Belting and Whistle registers. The difference is that when Mariah belts; especially these days, she sounds strain,and when she whistles as pointed out before they are breathy and or thin and piercing, but still add color to her songs, so it's not in all those her tone remains 'rich'.
i don't think so. Lately, her voice has sounded strained, but way back when, when her voice was gold, she could display any part of her voice perfectly, especially in her whisper register. Her voice is also always changing, so her whistles at any one point never sound the same as they had before. Nowadays her whistles are super thin and airy.
Yeah, I too used to dig Mariah until she forgot what made her famous and started dressing and behaving like Britney and Xtina. I don't care if your true personality is like that, the fact that you came out with a sweet girl next door image and won the hearts of millions, I think you should stay that way. Because like many others I think that was uncalled for, no need to compete with new comers when like Barbra you have a solid fan base.
Even you and I evolve and I wouldn't want people to stop supporting Mariah, by all mean we all want to be loved, just that I appreciate listening an album in its entirety and not having to skip songs and on Mariah's latest albums I am forced to do that.
But the thing is being "sexy" was always in her character. Thats why when she was able to control her image and sound she made "butterfly" her previous albums where simply her record labels' ideas.
I love Shanice to death....but she is the farthest from minnie. Chante and Debelah are the closest to minnie....but Mariah's combo of the whistle and power are untouchable. Shanice at times sounds like she is screaming to hit the notes(i.e O' Holy Night)
Simply beautiful and
