I Don’t Wanna Cry is just beautiful from start to finish. The live version at the Tokyo Dome breathed new life into it and made me love it all over again. One of her most underrated/unheard singles, particularly in the UK.

To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion. If I feel it is a fact, I will state that I feel it is a fact. Lol. -

It’s strange how the singles after VOL struggled to gain traction outside of the US (LTT did ok but should have done better) while they were all #1 hits stateside.Originally posted by NorthernMonkey View Post
I agree that IDWC is beautiful. The vocal is haunting and perfectly embodies the lyrics. We don’t have many examples of Mariah singing quite like that. It’s so mature for a 20 year old! It’s an R&B song and I consider it less A/C than what would come later. I know Mariah likes to sh*t on IDWC but I feel that has more to do with her not liking the level of input from others working on the song than anything else.
I also enjoy the live vocal for the changes she made to it. It’s a nice companion.Comment

Ha. I was just about to make that point. What Mariah began with IDWC she perfected in My All. There is a straight line between these two songs.Originally posted by Mckenry View PostComment

I always feel like the Tokyo live version of IDWC is the ultimate version...as I close my eyes, steady my feet on the ground.....Comment

It is. Tokyo Dome can claim that designation for a few other songs as well...Originally posted by monarcbutterfly View PostComment

It happens the same to me with Make it happen. I don't like the studio version, I prefer any live renditionComment

IDWC is amazing as are all the other singles from her first album (and 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc etc). Sometimes I think Mariah had too many hits in such a short period of time some of them were bound to get lost in the mix. For example, if Love Takes Time had been her only #1 ever and she had just pushed that song throughout her career it would be a huge classic, as opposed to a classic that’s somewhat forgotten amidst her other smashes.
Each one of her 90s singles deserves its own moment to refresh with the gp, they’re all so timeless.Comment

Yeah. I think you're right about that. IDWC definitely got lost in the shuffle.Comment

Mariah should sing IDWC more often. (and Someday). There were #1's and she barely ever acknowledges them.My ChartComment

The number 1s Vegas residency was really a great idea. So many number 1s being performed after years / decades of not being acknowledgedOriginally posted by stevyy View PostProceed with CautionComment

I hope she includes some bops for Vegas festival. I don’t want the same old setlist for the 1902nd time.

I know. It's frustrating. Back in the day, my awe, love for Mariah grew with each of those first 4 #1s. I wish she'd own that era, even if it carries some unhappy memories.Originally posted by stevyy View Post
VOL and LTT were impressive classic songs, on a few levels, but it was IDWC and Someday that hooked me hard. And it's my opinion that those two were the real foreshadows of the magic and brilliance to come with her now legendary catalog of ballads and uptempos.Comment

It's been on a constant rise over some time. Also, some popularity on tik tok and with some okay playlisting seems to be doing wonders.Originally posted by MissConspiracy View PostProceed with CautionComment
