    I think the reason why Mariah doesn't like this song because it wasn't inherently a product of mariah's artistic mind. She was actually given this song, and she just added some new things to the songs. I think that's a testament to Mariah's authenticity as a musician, because she doesn't feel connected and genuine singing a song that she know she didnt write that's why she prefers to write her own songs. A true queen.

    • @shiftyclouds9591
      @shiftyclouds9591 4 роки тому +73

    Mariah in an interview "I love to collaborate with people, but in the rare instances when I’ve done other people’s songs, I haven’t liked it. There was a Disney song I did five, six years ago called “Almost Home,” and I never really liked it. No offense to whoever wrote it, and I did it because Disney wanted me to do it, but it didn’t feel like me at all."
    Even tho she really never liked the song yet she sang it beautifully and with justice.

    Hey, hey.....
    You're almost home
    You're almost home
    You're almost home
    I've seen the light in the sky
    In the skies are like fireflies
    Burning bright, just to vanish in the dark
    I've held hope in my two hands
    That there would be another chance
    To find the kingdom, I'm believing in my heart
    Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know
    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you run, run so far
    You've forgotten who you are
    Where you're from, it's like some other universe
    You count your steps, like they're regrets
    You catch one breath then lose the rest
    Wrong is right, right is left
    And there's nowhere left to turn
    So don't believe in everything
    You think, you think you know
    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you let your heart be the compass
    You won't get lost, not if you trust it
    When you hear the sound of the trumpet
    Louder than ever before
    Oh, when you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Cause you're almost there
    Almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Almost there
    You're almost home
    Know you're not alone

    Still to this day never understood why this wasn't a massive hit, especially in America and attached to a film too. Around the early 2010s Mariah released a few singles which sadly made no impact on the major charts but I feel are some of her best work starting with Triumphant then Infinity, the brilliant Art Of Letting Go and then Almost Home. Love this video too. The dramatic black and white, Mariah looking fabulous.

    The TONE of the note on "AL-most" at 3:21 when she glides up to the E5, is what makes her voice so beautiful to me.

      I think what makes mariah’s high notes in most of her songs sound so beautiful is the way she puts emotions into them. I really can’t explain it. She can exude a certain emotion in a note. She is not just hitting a note just for the sake of hitting a note. She wraps that note with pure emotions and you can feel it

      Radio mostly ignored it. It wasn't even a full-on ignore. It got light radio play meaning they tried it out with listeners and it didn't compete well. It ranked on adult contemporary and R&B radio but stuck to the lower end of the charts. Critically it was slammed for sounding dated, generic and that she didn't seem fully engaged. Not much of a chance for a nomination with those reactions.
      Its a good vibe on the track though. I like it.

    Hey, hey
    You're almost home
    You're almost home
    You're almost home
    I've seen the light in the sky
    In the skies are like fireflies
    Burning bright, just to vanish in the dark
    I've held hope in my two hands
    That there would be another chance
    To find the kingdom, I'm believing in my heart
    Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know
    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you run, run so far
    You've forgotten who you are
    Where you're from, it's like some other universe
    You count your steps, like they're regrets
    You catch one breath then lose the rest
    Wrong is right, right is left
    And there's nowhere left to turn
    So don't believe in everything
    You think, you think you know
    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you let your heart be the compass
    You won't get lost, not if you trust it
    When you hear the sound of the trumpet
    Louder than ever before
    Oh, when you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Cause you're almost there
    Almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home
    When you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Almost there
    You're almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home

    Vocally, sonically, and visually, this is her best work since Mimi. We don't even need live, just release tracks like this.

    Justice for Almost Home 😍 This song in my opinion is one of her best vocally! I’ll never stop loving this song. Such a shame she doesn’t like it. I bet demkids would love this for sure!

      Mariah Carey is the most beautiful multi-racial woman that has ever graced this earth: Vocally, visually, spiritually.

      ***** Was this a live performance? were we talking about a live performance at all. Also she performed Don't forget about us live at Caesars and held the long note.

    • @SlowlistInYaFace
      @SlowlistInYaFace 9 років тому

      How can she lip to a note that doesn't sound like the studio note and was at a lower key and arrangement?

    • @SlowlistInYaFace
      @SlowlistInYaFace 9 років тому

      ***** Funny how no one mentioned even the The New York Times reviewer that gave her a bad review but said she sang live, funny why would they leave that out? Her voice is way to raspy now to be lipping we would all tell in a heart beat, and why would she have so many bad performances nowadays if she was just lipping the hard parts? Its such a low belt its only the 4th octave.
