  • I LIKE HOW YOU ALL ARE DEBATING WHICH VERSION IS BEST, MARIAH OR BRITNEY, HOW ABOUT JOURNEY IS THE BEST...IT IS THEIR SONG!!!!!!

  • She had to do a few covers for her first tour you know, she's snot trying to beat Mariah you idiots.

  • WHY britney? WHY!!!!!

    why did u attempt to sing this song? You obviously don't have the vocal ability to sing this song.

    Just listen to Mariah.

  • Why are people such cunts?! This is NOT Mariah! This is BRITNEY mother fucking SPEARS! Who gives a fuck about Mariah? Go watch Mariah's video if you don't like Britney!

  • well this is not the better version. but britney did a good job.

  • Great Britney!! The best version is the original with STEVE PERRY. No one can sing like him.

  • Why is everyone so desperate to determine who is THE BEST singer and not just enjoying the talent that they both have?

  • This make me luv Brit even more!

  • her rendition is inspired Mariah's rendition!

  • mariah who? Britney rocks this song <3

  • @Adam14charmedlover your kidding right? You can barely hear her little voice over the music. Goto mariahs song. Idiots offend me

  • omg eewwwwwww..... i was listening to Mariah Carey and this came up and i had to see what happend.... way to be an abortion britney...

  • omg eewwwwwww..... i was listening to Mariah Carey and this came up and i had to see what happend.... way to be an abortion britney...

  • i dont like journeys version, but i love this one.

  • hahhaha LMAOOOO this is so baaadddddddddddddddd!!! MARIAH IS THE QUEEN BITCH

  • @DeBolsterFalko mariah... the queen? she is not even close to be a pop diva

  • @autotrifero hunny .. Mariah has sold 200 million records and she had 17 number one hits! She is the best female artist of our time.. so go fuck yourself miss spears. She has only sold 126 million records. Mariah is in this business for 23 years without using drugs or auto-tune show some respect for REAL artists.

  • @DeBolsterFalko not on drugs?? what about her breakdown aftr she released her MIMI album? n all the weird posts on her website n britney spears was not on drugs if u read anything about her back in 2007 her ex manager sam lutfi was puting unknown drugs into her food n tried 2 slip her into a sleep inused come to get her under mind controll n when was the last time mariah carey released a true album ummm lets see in 2008 and britneys circus stl did bttr w lil promotion n evrybody uses auto tune!

  • @britneygirl2008 Brittany spears is the main one using auto tuning lol

  • @DeBolsterFalko britneys label makes her sing like this believ me search up let go or baby boy n u can fucking see who a true artist is everybody in the inderstry uses auto tune thts how thy get th flaws out of there voice yes mariah is good but believ me britneys beat her out many times mariahs in R&B n pop so shes the queen of R&B n britney spears n madonna r th queen of pop madonna n britney have sold more albums n singles put 2gethr thn mariah britneys had all her all her albums go number 1

  • @DeBolsterFalko and her just released album femme fatale has already gone gold n last time iv checkd mariah didnt get a gold album n britneys got 2grammy awrads n 4 moon men frm th mtv VMA awards n her blackout was named th best album of th past 15years according 2 th rolling stones magazine n her single gimme more hit number 1 th day it was released mariah queen get ur facts straight she might of been here longer but britneys workd her ass off 2 get where she is th queen is back

  • @autotrifero you show some respect, madonna is the queen and britney the princess, everbody knows that, dont try to change the history because you dont like it.

  • @autotrifero They are nothing ;) The facts are here so don't try to deny it .. If you know ur "superstar" that well , you should know she sold much less than Mariah. Get over it :)

  • @autotrifero man, come on, i dont even know one track of her, i thoght she was leona lewis before reading you, she a nobody.

  • @KawaiiBlackPixie that is just ridiculous.I mean she's brunette with brown eyes.

  • @KawaiiBlackPixie ummm she got her deal because she was marketable and she can sing. and fyi, her eyes are brown. i hate when people like you throw the 'they got a deal because they're blonde hair, blue eyed blah blah blah' that's ridiculous. if that were the case, then anyone here in hollywood would have a deal. it takes more than just a look.

  • @KawaiiBlackPixie Britney Spears has brown eyes and as a child had natural brown hair so I doubt the record company was looking to promote her that way at the time.

  • I remember Britney's voice on Star search was great and can beat xtina's voice.And now,what heppened??

  • @KawaiiBlackPixie Dude, can you hear this? She is amazing.

  • she does have a ok voice but she murdered a great song

  • SERIOUSLY . i Just watched mariahs version in Madison Square Garden .....WTF is this??? Lmfao

  • Britney's version is amazing! Celine Dion's version is excellent as well as the opening song in her new Vegas show!

  • Jurney the best

  • awwwwwwww this is cute!! :) but i do think that Mariah Carey's version is the best! Love you britz!

  • I'm 14 but even I know this was originally Journey's. Brush up on your history, folks.

  • Perfect ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

  • god damn ppl will u shut up i mean it!!!!!!!!!

  • God ppl cant shut up. I cant hear her well

  • Dam. Why wud people even go to a concert if they're not gonna SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE PERFORMER who's on stage?? All that talking was SO annoying.

  • OMG better than Mariah!!!!

  • @FerrRemy better than Mariah? you are on crack. Have you even seen Mariah perform this live?

  • @esettle0 Owh shut up. Different taste bb! PUHLEAASEEEE

  • I can't believe some of you people actually thought that this was Mariah Carey's song originally. Good God.

  • @Arait64 yes this is not originaly by mariah carey, but probaly the best rendition of this song is from mariah carey...just my opinion

  • i´m not saying she can´t sing..

    i just don´t like her voice :\

  • not even the audience r listening lol when mariah sings everyone listens in concert ;)

  • @CyprusHot she was just the opening act

  • @Mannequin2009 i guess that makes it ok :)

  • @CyprusHot lol...right

  • Mariah Carey's version is THE BEST ! ;)

  • @luxxo77 Yes, Britney's version isn't better than Mariah! :)

  • Oh wow britney sucks! She cant sing! or dance in my oppinion... but her taste for journey is admirable!! Journey is awesome!!!

  • @krazyshorty89 im not a fan of her atall, but she doesnt suck when she sings like this.

  • I think when she tries to sing it sounds funny lol

  • @krazyshorty89 eh i guess soo

  • @krazyshorty89 Britney does not suck at singing, thank you very much.

  • Oh wow britney sucks! She cant sing! or dance in my oppinion... but her taste for journey is admirable!! Journey is fuckin* awesome!!!

  • Damn britney's version of this song sucks! Her voice is too high pitched, she doesn't have a strong singing voice in my opinion. Now Mariah Carey, that girl sings the hell out of this song hands down!!!

  • great voice britney love u so much atlest u try a high notical voice !!!!!

  • do you know if this or any of her earlier live performances are available for mp3 downloads????

  • she's not a great singer, but at least she was really singing, I mean LIVE!

    LOL

    and this song is beautiful, she should try to perform like this more often!

  • Marlboros, Cheetos, RedBull, Starbucks, Ambien/Prozac/Xanax, etc. are hard on the body and voice....bet she doesn't sound like this now....

  • this isnt a stride between britney or mariah you stupid cunts.

    its journeys song

  • at least brit trying to sing different kinds of songs.. god job Britney!!!

  • Wow she did great

  • She never lost it. She just never had it.

  • WTH I Love Me Some Britney but .............uuuuummmmmmmm....­............ She should leave it 2 the queen mariah 2 sing this

  • @MIMIFan001

    bcoz Britney has more fans than Mariah

  • I'm almost crying listening to this. Her voice is so beautiful here.

  • im sorry britney but no just no i cant isten to this

  • BRIT NEEDS 2 NOT EVER EVER EVER TRY N SING A CLASSIC SONG LIKE DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS NO VOCALS WUT SO EVER...N WHOEVER THINKS SHE CAN SING NEEDS THEY EARS CHECKED N DNT KNO MUSIC!!! LISTEN 2 MARIAH SING THIS SHIT!!! DATS SINGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MegaAreed mariahs version sucks, journeys version ( the original) is where its at, you need your ears checked if you think hers was that good

  • @WomanizingBritney NO MARIAH'S DNT SUCC! U NEED UR EARS CHECKED!!!! NO SHIT JOURNEY IS DA BEST DATS DA ORIGINAL! BUT MARIAH IS WAAAY BETTER THEN BRITNEY NONE SINGIN ASS.....DAT BITCH CANT EVEN SING & I KNO MUSIC 4 YA INFO....

  • @MegaAreed yes it does SUCK, YOU need to get your spelling checked, honey I know music too, I'm a music major. Britney can sing, shes not fantastic, but she can sing. Here its not very good, but if you watch a home video of her singing this exact same song when she was 15, she was great. Britney just fake sings now.

  • @MegaAreed and yes, mariahs version is too sappy, the original is far better. Mariah is one of my favorite artists, she can sing her ass off, but her cover of open arms wasnt her best. I really liked alot of her other covers, just not this one.

  • @WomanizingBritney Actually, it's quite obvious that Mariah isn't one of your favourite singers! And you're so not a "music major" if you think that Mariah's Open Arms cover was "too sappy." She shits all over you, and at least she can actually sing, unlike Britney.

  • @JemmaCarey you're a fucking retard, you can be a huge fan of someone and not like one of their covers, I don't like brits I love rock and roll or my prerogative, but she is my favorite artist. Yes, I'm a music major, and just because someone sings good on a song, doesn't make a cover good. Not all song are meant to be covered by "Mariah Carey" I'm sorry but thats the truth, some of her remakes are sappy, THAT SIMPLE, getting all offensive because I said something against your god, get a life

  • @JemmaCarey get off the internet, you're 14, go make FRIENDS

  • @WomanizingBritney LOL you're such a loser and a wanna-be stalker, all you do is stalk my profile. FYI I'm 15, weirdo. GET IT RIGHT.

    oh, and so much for being a "music major". It's more like a "loser major," and I've gotta hand it to you; you are pretty talented at being one! Keep up the good work, and keep on trying to cause trouble by trying to dominate with your lousy opinion that means nothing to anybody

  • @JemmaCarey oh wow, you're a whole 1 year old than your profile says, little girl go back to crying to your mommy and daddy, you're too young to know what music is, you better quit while your ignorant little ass is ahead

  • @mkhang26 I SOOOOO AGREE!!!

  • britney can sing but rememeber the type of music she puts out is dance music so you cant sing your best in dance music but in her slow songs she sings very well thanks haterz!!!!!!

  • ISSO SÓ PODE SER UMA PIADAAAA KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    BRITNEY, VÁ CANTAR COM SEUS PLAY BACKS, ASSIM VC GANHA MUITO MAIS, RIDICULO

    MARIAH É DIVA, TEM VOZ, COISA Q VC NUNK TEVE, É MELHOR DEIXAR MC CANTAR, P/ VC NÃO PAGAR MICO

    KKKKKKK

  • this one is not as good as the divas..... I like her songs but shes has no good vocals....

  • Remember!!!!! Just Amazing

  • Oh my goodness, what is this????!!!! She should not be singing this song!!!! She is way under-qualified to sing this.

  • Ok. Well this version sucks. Britney is an o artist but Mariah did waaaay better. Screw journey they suck!!! Mariah can do covers very well. I don't really understand ppl when they say the original is better, which they suck!!!!!

  • @Therealismael OMG your an idiot, Journey is one of the greatest bands of all time, mariahs version is awful, I LOVE mariah, but its true, she turned it into all of her other songs, which are great, just not better for this song

  • @WomanizingBritney I love journey but Mariah Carey's version was NOT awful... her vocals in that song are amazing!!

  • hahahaha people honestly think she got a record deal based on her voice thats funny.

  • oh god - no no no no no no no

  • Amazing *.*

  • she sings like shit

  • wow... Mariah really got the highest number of being inspired big singers like christina, beyonce and britney.. and more..

  • i think her voice is more suited for ballads like this one and someday i will understand

  • gosh so amazing!

    B i love u!

  • this is the voice i felt in love with.

  • Why she can't sing like that :(((((((

  • she should sing often song like this

  • britney version dont ever care ok

  • Mariah é maravilhosa,mas Britney ñ ficou devendo nada a ela....arrasou cantando essa musica.

  • I wish people would stop dissing Britney's singing ability. She DID get a record deal, and it was because of her voice. She blew Jive records away, just because you dont like, doesnt mean she sucks. She has a beautiful voice. We just dont hear it much.

  • And WHY don't we hear it much now? Because she screwed it up. Now she can't sing very well. She really DID have a beautiful voice, and you're right that's part of why she got signed. But it's sad now that she can't sing like that anymore. =(

  • I agree, but I dont think she cant, I think she wont. Plus her label made her sing all sexy and breathy, and maybe she lost it. You lose your voice if you dont train it, she hasnt sang like that in years, so it might be gone now. SHE didnt ruin it, I dont think. But I think if she tries, she can still do it. But we'll prolly never hear THIS voice again. :( :(

  • @MsRussianBeauty She can, she can (Everytime - Live at the Circus - 2nd NA leg and Aussie only)

  • @MsRussianBeauty I certainly hope we don't!

  • @MsRussianBeauty Maybe she isn't singing live in the most part of her show,but she is singind everytime,because she still a singer and sure,she train it.

  • @MsRussianBeauty and her dancing, she will never dance like she use too.

  • @MsRussianBeauty She might sing like that at home, to her boys and stuff. I think she still has it.

  • @MsRussianBeauty she didnt lose it its just not as powerfull as it is her but then again we have to remember she was 16-17 on her BOMT tour but if u search up her he about to lose me demo or raw vocals he about to lose me in the chours u can hear her true voice its not as powerful as it is here but its still her true voice but it was max marton and her producer and jive recorders that made her sing in a more fake babieish voice on her oops i did it again album but she sings live on th FF tour:D

  • @CuZiSaidSo28 SHE CAN, BUT SHE DOESN'T IS DIFFERENT, HER VOICE IS THE SAME IS JUST THAT SHE IS MORE COMERCIAL AND SHE TRY A "SEXY" VOICE

  • @MsRussianBeauty millie vanilli got a record deal!

  • @sostenuto99 Um yes because the voices they signed were amazing. They just didnt know it wasnt them. So your comment makes no sense.

  • @MsRussianBeauty LMAO. Thanks, that was a good laugh.

  • @MsRussianBeauty agreed. She was an amazing singer, but an even better dancer.

  • why are you retarded people arguing over who's version is better??? You can have respect for both Mariah's and Steve Perry's. Why dont you keep in mind that Mariah did not remake that song without Steve Perry's permission no matter how much money she paid him, so he must have been honored in some way to have Mariah Carey do a version of it. Why does everything have to be a damn competition on youtube? However, we all know that this song is way beyond Britney's vocal ability and it sucked.

  • Hi 2003myfavyear, You say that we are retarded for arguing over Mariah's version which I did not like at all,but yet you put down Britney in the same sentence and say that she sucks. In other words if we were just arguing over how bad Britney sang the song that would be ok to you since you did not like her version? I did not like either version and I do like Mariahs voice very much but not on a SP song!!!

  • I wish Britney can actually start singing. She really did have a voice, wtf happened?

  • She doesn't sound too bad

  • Whats the point in comparing Mariah and Britney they're completely different :S

  • OMG! The most beautiful song ever written by the master himself, Steve Perry. I thought Mariah Carey ruined it but Britney just destroyed it! You people want to hear the way this song should be sung? then type in steve perry with Journey and be blown away. You dont mess with perfection!!!

  • I'm sorry but the girl can't sing.

  • Come on give Brit a break! Do you really expect her to sound like Mariah? Lol that's like expecting Lady Gaga to sing like Aretha! Brit did a nice job here.

    And stop saying nobody than Steve Perry should be allowed to sing this. He owns the rights of this song and he authorized Mariah & Brit to perform it. So he must like their performances eh?

  • Funny how the youngings think this is a Mariah song. Steve Perry owns this song, and no one can do this song justice than him and Journey backing him up. Yes, there are more songs by Journey besides "Don't stop believing".

  • Boyz II men this song on there new album nov.17,2009

  • MARIAH CAREY SONG??????????????????  nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • no one shold sing this song except MARIAH !

  • Gross I think I just threw up!!!! Britney singing is like a rock trying to float

  • steve perry the best

    mariah is great also but britney???

    helooo

    well she likes to make mistakes thats what brit's is perfect:)

  • #fail...

    This song is by Journey... Mariah and Britney wouldn't ever even dream of composing a song as beautiful as this one...

  • I AGREE.. DAMN THOSE BITCHES..

  • ONLY STEVE PERRY IS ALLOWED !!

    its a sad day for journey :/

  • Love this song

    Love Britney

    Love Mariah

  • No. No, no no. NO ONE should sing this song except Steve Perry.

  • sucky.

  • I dont understand all the bad reactions... She sung this very good. Jealous much? Back then she could sing...

  • Mariah's song's are legendary, many celebs and people perform her song's. It's a big inspiration!

  • this is not mariah's song, but still.

  • Yea i just found out lol. But I like Mariah's Version. I love how she sings it.

  • I agree! Mariah gave Open Arms life. I love her cover of that song...Britney my dear...not you're type of song =/ must have been recorded a long time ago cause shes wearing a heck of a lot of clothes LOL

  • she sucks at this, but Mariah Carey butchered it

  • Mariah carey butchered open arms? are you out of your fucking mind? she made that song BEAUTIFUL

  • you know she sang this for jive and they said it was a little out of her range but nevertheless they still liked it

  • britney's voice was an amazing way back then.

  • A little overprotective over someone you don't even know?

    It doesn't kill anything if I voice my opinion, it just bothers me that people like yourself who care more about a famous person's life then your own.

  • brave of her to sing that.......

  • If you knew me you would know that I am a very happy person, just don't like her voice, I sing it just bothers me.

    But I do respect her for going out there and doing what she always wanted to. That's so awesome, I wish I had enough confidence to do that myself. LOL but not everyone does.

  • i won't say that it was bad......

    she isn't a very good singer that's forr sure...

    she did her best......n it was ok...

  • I really can't stand her voice.

  • She fucking literally killed the song and made it die.

  • No, it's people like you that are so angry and full of HATE. You kill it.

  • she did GREAT!!

  • nobody can sing this song like mariah carey

    this is her song

    she is the best love yaa MC !!! :)

  • Hmm i think Steve Perry from Journey which where this song was originally came from

  • exactly! Why is she singing it when she knows that Mariah Carey sang it before? She must have known that she can't do it like that..

    MC we love ya <3

  • Nope you're wrong. Not Mariah's song. it's owned by Journey.

  • i know but I mean that nobody can sing it soo wonderfull like mariah this song is like writen for her ..

  • its not mariahs song its journey's

  • Nobody can sing this song like Steve Perry of Journey. The original.

  • well... arnel pineda can.. just sayin..

  • @RandRdriver lol he sings not so good. Britney's vocals are more emotionnal and she has a better technique!

  • wow! did she even know that journey did this song and mariah carey??? ppl that can actually sing. she should have left it alone. shakes head*

  • she doesn't have a TERRIBLE voice she just doesn't use it and tends to lip-synch alot.

  • Ummm how the heck are we supposed to HEAR Britney sing this with all the obnoxious noise in the background? Don't yall think its alittle crappy to judge her when you can't even hear her sing it? Come on people. If you don't have something nice to say keep it to yourself/

  • Lmfao... leave this song to MC and Journey. Oh Dear...

  • A arte de cagar na musica dos outros! (The art of shit on the song of other people!)

  • lo q me importe a ti q, me cae q solo eres de esos tipos(as) q solo estan viendo como cagan a los demas para empezar la cancion no es de ella asi cmo la tipirijilla de maria carey q tambn la copio ponte a investigar de qn es
