no wonder poor Mariah went through a mental breakdown, when she had to go from being an incredible artist like this, and she had to adapt her music to the filthy trash, that the music industry has become today.
love this song! many people say "butterfly" was mariah's first real R&B album but what about "emotions"? every track on that album is pure r&b/soul. i think it was more soulful than butterfly
@misses18yearold when people refer to RnB these days that mean urban rather than old school RnB. her first album (and every other album after) has contained old school RnB, but butterfly was the first real urban album, daydream having a couple of urban feels 'fantasy remix'.
@misses18yearold I think by real R&B, they meant more urban, and Butterfly was actually more R&B/Hip Hop, but yea Emotions is a lot more soulful than Butterfly
@seansocheap Emotions drew from both old school R&B and soul music. Butterfly drew from more from the '90s contemporary R&B and hip hop. They're both "urban" or "black." They just drew from different periods of urban music.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS OF FOREVER WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG, ITS PUTS ME IN THE SAME SPIRIT. FROM THE BEAT TO THE VOCALS, SHE SHOULD MAKE A FRAGRANCE AFTER THIS SONG
first time to listen to it.... thank God for letting me find it . . so rare and so pure. . Mariah is just awesome that i cant put myself away from liking her songs. . .Heaven-sent Voice . . . . .
I love this song! I'll be cover this song soon. But for now take a look at some of my recent covers: I don't wanna cry, Without you, Vision of Love, Emotions. People say I sound similar to Mariah, Leona, Kelly Clarkson, and a few others. I guess it depends which songs I'm singing. I really love Mariah's songs though, so I'll be recording more of them soon. If you have any requests, let me know, I have most of them on karaoke/instrumental now! :)
I've been looking for this song for such a long time I placed parts of what I remembered in google now here I am ,it is such a pleasure finding this song after all these years, my man birthday is coming up and I will be playing this song just for my man ,thank you so much uploader you are amazing, thanks love peace and blessings.
@sheenaghscholl Never!! this is untouchable! this is the kinda song ppl not even the owner n the creator should touch! this is pure Raw Diamond! to not say Gold
This is my all time favorite Mariah song! It's truly beautiful. It's a shame that it was never released as a single. I kind of wish someone with an amazing voice would remake it, so it could be a hit single. Maybe Mariah could re-release it.
i fell in love with this song when i was young and enlove. i thought love was real and that i could never be hurt. I was wrong. But for all the people who have found true love - this song is for u. God Bless.
This was when Mariah was Mariah!! This album and the Vision of Love Album was the true epitome of when I fell in love with her music and image. She's still my girl but that magic of when she first came out can't be reignighted.
@PecheMelba113 mariah carey is my idol my favorite song by her is we belong together it's mine and my husbands song. i also love this song it's a beautiful song.
@jakey1126 My information comes from 2 sources. One is her album jacket, and the second is a documentary I watched on the making of one of her recent albums which I saw on an Air Canada flight from Vancouver to San Diego. She is credited with producing and writing this track, yes. But she is credited alongside Walter Afanasieff, himself a well known writer & producer known for writing for artists. The show I saw featured a scene with Mariah and a pianist.
@jakey1126 In the show she says to him, (something to the effect of, I can't remember it verbatim)
"I'm glad you're here. I'm not a musician......haha.....I can't play instruments....haha....never learned how "
From my 24 years experience in writing music, its hard if not impossible to write instrumental music, or even pop songs unless you have some musical ability. I know of one folk singer who did that, but I don't think Mariah did in this case. More political marketing than creative talent
@VancouverComposer ik who walter is, but if you ever paid a little more attention you'll find out what kind of relationship walter and mariah had when they collaborated and it was very unique i'd say. mariah would sing a tune in her head to walter as they sat by a piano and walter would try his best to interpret mariah's melodies she was singing onto the piano. then lyrics were written toward that song. not to mention mariah does have some experience in playing the piano
@VancouverComposer you don't necessarily need to know how to play an instrument to write musics. her voice, said on many occasions, is her instrument, and as long as she can make her own melodies with that she can write lyrics. every single song she's done, aside from the few covers, she's written, or co-written, and when it's co-written it's all mariah's ideas with other's input not the other way around. check on her daydream or butterfly albums. it says she was one of the composers of themusic
so if you want to sit there and say she has no creative talent you are strictly deficient in your knowledge about mariah's musical composition and works alike. her song Breakdown from the Butterfly album. she said and i remember this correctly that she "wrote it in about 5 minutes" .
@jakey1126 I'm perfectly willing to accept that she is an accomplished lyricist, and has written many wonderful lyrics for a variety of composers' music. I'm just not convinced she "wrote" the music for the songs. Writing lyrics is not writing songs. Writing lyrics is basically writing poetry. This makes her a poet, not a song writer. I'm also not disputing her vocal talents especially back during the time this album was made. I base my opinions on what I've seen and experienced. That's all.
You know who can really sing nowadays is Pink, most people don't realize it but she has a terrific sense of harmony and power, Watch her Joyful Joyful video.
too hard to resist and too hard to ignore...she has definitely one of the amazing voices that made a remarkable track in music industry..love her so much..hope to hear her this days singing this soulfully...she is just simply amazing and excellent human being.
