It's whatever. It's totally soulless, diva schmaltz. I love the end with the choir though.

Oh yeah, and the original is by Harry Nilsson, not Mariah. It was a #1 hit, in 1974 I believe.

Hate hate hate it. Completely soulless, it's not even a good song to begin with, but she sings it horribly (in my opinion).
Even if I didn't hate it for it's badness, I'd hate it for the fact that it follows Mariah around like a bad smell as her biggest UK hit.

Kelly's version is killer. I don't think I've ever heard Mariah's or Harry's.

I love Mariah's version. I really don't mind it being one of her signature songs, aside from the fact she didn't write it

I remember being little and hearing this song on the radio. I didn't know who was singing it but I kept flipping through the stations trying to find it again. This was one of a few other of her early singles that I ended up loving without knowing who it was by. I guess my becoming a fan was inevitable  I love how controlled her voice is on this song. |

I remember being little and hearing this song on the radio. Yes. I used to LOVE this song when I was a child. I actually remember being a child and going somewhere with my mother and my aunt and this song came on and I was screaming it to the top of my lungs with Mimi and my aunt turned the radio off and I sung like half the song without realizing it was off. And then once I did they laughed at me.  I was a fierce divo in training. |

great vocal performance from mariah. Never cared much for kelly's version. Then again, i've always hated everything she has done (hate her! ). |

Um, I never said I hated Miss Piggy. I just think she's a conceited bastard who thinks WAY too highly of herself as her fans does. She's rather normal now a days. Nothing wow besdies her fake boobs, her tacky cheap style, and her arrogant self. Besides all that, I can like her a bit. I even liked most of the songs from Emancipation but I refuse to buy anything from her so her fans, as some said on the other board, get all like "WE CONVERTED A J.HO FAN" please.

I read a review of MC's version that says she oversang on this song, but I don't think that was the case at all. I thought she was controlled. I think the song itself isn't that great, but she did a good job with it.
