Mariah Carey - Vision Of Love

[GetBack]

Everything about this was epic. I love the raw vocals here, the whole era represented her roots, she even looked like she was picked off the streets looking like a malnourished teen with those untrimmed bushy eyebrows and uncombed hairstyle. It really added to her appeal to the masses.

Re: Mariah Carey - Vision Of Love

Yeah she had the “girl next door” persona... but in 1990 those eyebrows and hair were in style. Ijs...

Wasn't there a rumour that the original concept for VOL was sexier before Tommy axed it? I wonder what that looked like and what they were going for before they decided to keep the "girl next door" image.

How is it possible for someone to start off so legendary The Queen

Nah but I only stared appreciating this recently... it’s always been a good song but the message and delivery is insane bitch

That final whistle note ended all the disposable dance-pop bimbos.

Killed 50 careers.

This song has everything: hypnotic opening, then the beat drops and you can only be mesmerized by her voice. Next you'll hear the inspirational lyrics and the song builds and builds. It hasn't got the everyday structure of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus-endlessly-going-on-till-fade. It doesn't really have a chorus, but just keeps on building till it gets to the grand finale, where her voice goes all the way. It's her most iconic song ever IMO.

I love Vision of Love but if we were to count Butterfly (the song) and The Roof as singles, then those two would actually be her two best singles.

This, imo, is the best debut single ever by any artist.

Probably the first time she's performed VOL. She didn't let much of her nerves get to her.
Slaying the whole country with a song she wrote and composed herself.

One of the very few songs of hers I can say I truly like.

beautiful masterpiece.

[chilled]

Amazing to think she wrote that so young. Such a maturity!

[bm08]

11 days until the 29th Anniversary of this song. Would be cool if MC/we celebrate it in some defining way.

[GetBack]

Maybe Sony has something for the 30th anniversary of her debut album.
