Great song. Long story short, I always loved her voice. Then, my son grew up and liked her as a teen and who can blame him. Now, how ironic, He is a hero serving in our United States Airforce.
well to me it sounded better than the original. idk her voice has more range than it did especially from when she first came out. i loved her then and now. like she didnt always used to have a high voice either. it was high but idk it all just sounds good to me
Ok. She obviously doesnt sing the way she used to. That said, I really liked the way she adapted the song to the way she sings now. At the end of the day, we still have the album version of this song if we want to listen to the powerful Mariah.
The fact is, Mariah sings live. If you look at the X-Factor in November 2009, both versions of "I Want To Know What Love Is" were live, and both were brilliant. She not only sang it live, but the belting and whistle were impressive - no, it's even more than that. And I guess it doesn't matter who is better between Mariah and Whitney. Mariah is a legend to remember, and Whitney is equally successful in her career in the 90's as is Mariah.
Hero - this is such a beautiful, inspirational song.

Mariah doesn't even sing live anymore. What kind of artist is that.... I use to love her music but i told think an artist is an artist if they can no longer sing live.
I dont understand how people can still compare whitney and mariah they are both amazing int heir own right you can not compare the two they are vastly different I dont understand why everyone wants to put them up against each other its not htat deep just enjoy the music!
This version is sang with a lower vocal range so she can sing it live more progressivly rather than belt too much because as we all know her voice isnt has strong as it was in the 1990's but she is still impressive and can sing better than some of the crap on the scenes these days
Ao meu ver a MC está com uma voz mas madura,o problema dos seus lives é que ela ultimamente fica muito nervosa e isso atrapalha mas a MC tem muito o que explorar da sua voz ela é linda e maravilhosa...
its normal shes losing vocal range at that age singers start to experiment a vocal mature, even madonna that doesnt sing, she sings more like a mature woman now!!.....
I don't like this version. I think she had some vocal problems, cause during the time this was recorded, she didn't sound her best live. (See x-factor UK)
She sounded way better on the inauguration ball! Eventho she made some mistakes then, her voice sounded more clear. If she would record this again it would sound so much better than this version, i'm sure.
She lowered the range to fit her singing now. She can not sing like she used to. Hasn't anyone around her tell her that?? I mean she probably knows herself, but why doesn't she do something about it. Like taking time off. I just want to see the mariah with the best voice
Mariah is HISTORY. She only relies on whistles that she mastered for MANY YEARS! LOL! Whistles are fun to listen to but not powerful. Belting power is MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE. Mariah IS NOT even hitting the highest whistle not not even the strongest one. Georgian brown and Betty Wright own her ass! she is boring when she performs, stiff and afraid to get off-keyed. She is the only DIVA who turned into a TRYING HARD SEX ICON WANNA BE OUT OF DESPERATION. PATHETIC! YUCK! MAKES ME PUKE!
Esta canción representa el esfuerzo diario de encontrarnos internamente y aflorar el heroe que llevamos para superar los momentos de debilidad. Thanks Mariah, you are amazing. I love you.
This Is Still A great verison, I love it 2, The original is the best, let MC Get rest, Shes coming back, leave her, she is The Best, I love Mariah Carey, ALWAYS AND Forever, love charles
its not that mariah actually LOST her voice, imagine?!!! how can she still talk then? hahah! i mean, mariah only had a change in her voice, still sounds good!
OMFG this song isn't even bad at all... she just doesn't hit like one note was strong as she use to... it no big fuckiing deal ppl who are hating, so shut the hell up, unless YOU can do a better job, seal your fucking lips!
Well I m a fan of her.. some people say .. she can't sing.. well ignorant.. she is singing.. that she can't sing live five songs in a row .. that could be true.. if she can record awesome songs.. hell yes.. she has her own time to sing warm up and get a hot song.. if any girl can do what Mariah has done.. hell not.. not even leonila that is the nicest voice sing live.. so.. shut up.

Mariah might be better than Whitney when she can learn to sing live and be able to sing jazz, opera, country, pop, r&b, and broadway musicals. Don't forget Whitney has such standard classics like I am changing, I am telling you, there is music in you, and more better than the original artist. Mariah should not even mention in the same sentence of the great Whitney Houston.
Message to MIMI: I know that you came to Argentina in 1999, but i was too young at that time. And now i wanna kill myself! PLEASE come back!!!!!!!!! You have new fans in here waiting and waiting and waiting just for you. I know that come to Argentina could be a bad trade, but you are a grateful person...greatful to your fans. You can't imagine the way I love you...the way WE love you!!! PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT US
the old version was much better for me plus she sings this one in a lower key then the original...whewre she wore that black gown and sang at the proctor theater LIVE back in 1993...But i still love MIMI...and will for a long time
obviously her voice has changed since 1996, well guess what, its 2009 - people get older and so does the voice. plus she been one of the best singers out there for almost 20 years and she has always sang'incredibly'. therefore appreciate, not depreciate
I agree, but it's very irritating that many fans have gone too hardcore and refuse to admit that something has happened to her voice. Even if I've noticed a detorioration in her voice, I think she really has evolved as a song writer.
i agree...i'm a true fan of mariah carey and some fans would not accept the fact that mariah changed in terms of her vocal abilities and she does vocal dubbings on her live acts...and its a normal thing...there's nothing wrong about that...everyone's vocal quality changes...it's a normal thing...i would still love mariah's performance even if she would sing in low keys and no lip synchs..as long as its live...
and i believe that she really matured as an artist and a song writer and producer
