acually walter asanasieff blamed himself for this one stating he rushed making it for mariah because he was busy working on stuff for michael bolton so he took the blsme for it not being #1 but it is #1 to me
Georgia Andrea Wow not compare the two because we all know Mariah is legendary, but isn’t it so ironic that Ariana did the same exact thing this year. She blocked her own song from reaching #1 too. Maybe It’s just me, but I’ve always found their similarities scary.

I never really knew how much I liked this particular song until I caught myself humming the melody....it takes me back and puts me in a happy/sad nostalgic mood..💔🥰😢
lies you tell you don't even know what you're talking about mariah is still doing good vegas shows and beacon shows . no one sounds like they do when they are 20.mariah rested she is fine do your research .20 is not the peak years it's 20s through your 30s *****
Hands down this song is Mariah Carey's best song of all time. This song has everything, great lyrics, great sound, great voice, great instrumentals, everything about this song is perfection. Utter perfection. Timeless classic!! Should have been #1 on the charts.
She was so versatile, she could hit the low tones, the high notes, the scream, the whisper vocal, kill you with the runs, or sing smooth like velvet. There will never be another like her.
@@tjroelsmashe's still quite above average with just shows how insane she is that despite having a very bad vocal condition from her nodules she can still outsing current vocalists
@@lourencovieira313 That's a matter of opinion. In my opinion she's little more than a crooner now and not a good one at that. Which is a shame, because I really liked her voice when she started out.
@@AnnSueScholtz Well, there are factors that lead to their voice deteriorating at different rates (e.g., improper technique, overuse, vocal demands for songs, intensity of drug/alcohol usage, and most importantly, condition/strength of voice components which factors into how much the voice can endure when singing). Also, Whitney started her career earlier and performed many more concerts than Mariah, and Mariah's voice may be lighter and not strong as Whitney's. I am not going to speak on substance abuse.

@@DECEPTIONINDICATED - Ariana is good for her generation but she doesnt have as strong or full bodied of a voice as Mariah. Mariah has or had the full spectrum from bottom to middle to the very top. Arianas voice is mostly at the top and cant go as low. Mariah had the most options w her voice more than any other singer. Plus Ariana sounds like a little girl at times. Just never understood that comparison.
I’m heartbroken that she didn’t sing this song live in the Music Box or Daydream era. It’s like after Emotions era was over she stopped singing this song live for a decade. 😢
When you’re gifted your music transcends through every generation. Mariah Carey has been one of my favorite artists of all time. Forever a fan ❤❤…. Remember these days in the 90’s R&B was amazing.
Yesss "Vision of Love" I also a great showcase of her range, from her incredibly full lower register, to her powerful and resonant upper register, to her whistle register, everything!!
I'll never get over this song not going #1 on the Billboard charts. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Forever will be one of my favorites.
Can't let go Uh baby There you are Holding her hand I am lost Dying to understand Didn't I Cherish your right? Don't you know You were my life? Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see You in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Just cast aside You don't even know I'm alive You just walk on by Don't care to see me cry And here I am Still holding on I can't accept My world is gone no no Even though I try I can't let go 'Cause something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see You in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Do you even realize The sorrow I have inside Everyday of my life? Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies? I try and try To deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind Even though I try (No no I just can't get you out of my mind) I can't let go Something in your eyes (I never can) Captured my soul (Say goodbye) And every night I see You in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes (Something about you) Captured my soul (That I need so badly) And every night I see You in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Uh baby Composição: Mariah Carey / Walter Afanasieff
I was 16 and the older guy I was seeing married another woman. I played this song all day every day.We are married now,so it worked out,but,I still know every word of this song.
yeah, there is always a song that takes you back to the one you loved.the situation you were in at the time or the weather that was eventful enough to make you remember this song. this one takes me back to someone for sure.funny how a song can do that. i can even smell the air from that particular time hahaha..
Props to Mariah Carey for her immaculate talent in providing background vocals herself, her layering affect, that one notices on the many relistenings of masterpieces like this. Her producer credits are not talked enough about. Songwriter, lead singer, background singer, layering, producer! The real deal baby. She's an absolute talent that is not recognised enough, it blows my mind.
Excellent post. This also is largely responsible for why she has amassed the fortune she has. She has something in common with Madonna as far as being an astute businesswoman making the most out of her material.
One of the best R&B songs of '91 for sure. Mariah's voice range was unmatched back then. For a song about unrequited love, and letting go, great to hear this again. It was in my head before waking up this am. Some things, and people, we just have to let go of. I think that is the message.
How do you sing the living hell out of a song like this when you’re barely old enough to drink? (She was twenty-one.) How much life could she have possibly lived to have this much soul? Mariah is miraculous.
I'm convinced Emotions is Mariah's most soulful albums. These tracks really give you that deep and haunting vibe. These tracks and the album really deserve more recognition. It's one of the most underrated in Mariah's discography :((
I remember vividly when this tune was a big hit. I was in the hospital facing and recovering from brain surgery. This tune and a few others helped me through it all.
This song would have been her sixth #1 had Columbia/Sony not halted it in an attempt to boost sales of Emotions it peaked at #2 she has countless songs that received similar treatment like Butterfly Breakdown and The Roof and she has an amazing catalogue she has songs that are better than her #1's

This song is beyond words. I don't know how else to express how amazing this song is, she truly is a gifted talent which everyone fails to acknowledge. Respect her platform !
Deanna Duncan LIke the one who sang this type of songs. However, there will be hundreds of good singers that will follow the trend in order to produce commercial music. We sadly live in a world where the only real God that rules is Mr. Money.
I didn’t realize this song was over 30 years old. It’s a real classy song performed by a stellar artist- Mariah Carey. Beautiful with an incredible voice.
Soo happy I lived during this era; what a great privledge to have played these songs on the radio. I just took this for granted- today's music is nowhere close to having as much ❤.
This song lives. It captures the timeless emotion of unrequited love with a 70’s-80’s nostalgic beat sung by a beautiful woman in anguish. It grabs me every time I hear it.
I want to throw my 2 cents in. First let me break down the question and answer in sections, then as a whole. "Timeless emotion of unrequited love" check. I get that. "70s-80s nostalgic beat," If I am correct, the synthesizer used was first on the scene in the late 70s by other artists. You can hear some of Keith Sweat in the beginning-and he used it in 87. This jazz arrangement was popular on many quiet storm jazz radio stations. Also, musicians primarily use what is popular at the time. Most studios don't have the money to keep up with so many different instruments or changing soundboard as often. Now, I know she had access to things because of her label-but most musicians will use a current sound-the same way car companies have similar looking cars like their competitors. "Beautiful woman in anguish" I've seen it a lot. It's called student loans lol and to also mention yes-those instruments were used in the 90s. So you both were right. Right on.
The greatest challenge is LETTING GO. Describing me in every word from beginning to end. Finally begging my Lord GOD and Savior to lift me from this, the greatest sorrow I have ever felt, and it literally took everything inside me to move on. Falling to my knees is what it took and I am so grateful.
The fact that rolling stone magazine gave this album 2 stars is absolutely disgusting. An absolute masterpiece. One of the forgotten Magnum Opus works of the 90's
Rolling Stone was always a Rock-&-Roll boy's club. Gospel and Jazz influenced music detracted from Rolling Stone obsessed idylization of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. In the era before Mariah Carey, they would only give minimal credit to Madonna because she was synthesizers and was a out-spoken chick.
Wow, Mariah wearing a beehive, she looks adorable. This song was so pretty, her voice is like angels singing. One of the most amazing voices in history.
Every time another Christina Aguilera or Ariana Grande pops up, reminds me of how they can NEVER hold a candle to Mariah in her prime. There will never be another like her.
Anthony Natas I really liked Mariah until she became a R&B - hip hop singer or when her songs became a whisper from beginning to end with just a couple of high notes along the way :( . What a lost !
***** that album was actually one of her bests, tbqh. Personally, it helped me get through a lot of problems I thought were inescapable. Song like Petals and Can't Take That Away are close to many because it's easy to connect to. Not to mention the flawless Crybaby. But to each his own, I guess.
Vocalist. Singer is subjective. Unfortunately people cannot be objective, she clearly is especially in her prime but cover singer stans they will never accept it and will always try to find excuses or subjective opinions to say the opposite because objectively 91-96 nobody was at the same level of vocal abilities. She raised the bar and she will always be the GOAT
She is a great singer as they were many other great singers too and that is not opinion but FACT... Music is something that has the ability to heal, let us rejoice in the true beauty it possesses...
This song is definitely right there at the top as Mariah's best for yours truly!! It is a pure vocal masterpiece! I have forever loved this classic ballad since its 1991 release. Plus, Mariah looked absolutely fabulous in this video. This was Mariah at her absolute finest, just as her career was taking off in its early stages!!
its that feeling of not being able to let go of that one relationship that you know its time to let go . this song captures the raw emotion behind finally letting go. the moments where you feel so empty, cause its no longer that certain someone and you. being caught in the thought and feeling that you'll never love like that again. but when it hurts more to stay than letting go! it just takes time to walk through it. see, the truth is, I was the problem. i was told by a trusted friend that maybe I was standing in the way of her happiness, that if I really loved her let her go cause I honestly wasn't giving her what she deserved.that if I wasn't willing to give her what she needed i should stop being selfish! Hard truth medicine to swallow.
@@stevenrichardson4899 out of all the songs she has had, this is my number #1 favorite song of hers. It does not need to be a billboard number 1 to be my number 1.
I don't have a #1 Mariah Carey song, she has so many great song/albums. I don't think it be fair to Mariah to just pick one. This is a beautiful, timeless, classic.
Lyrics: There you are holding her hand I am lost Dying to understand Didn't I cherish you right Don't you know you were my life Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Just cast aside You don't even know I'm alive You just walk on by Don't care to see me cry And here I am Still holding on I can't accept My world is gone, no no Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside Everyday of my life Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies I try and try to deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind No I just can't get you out of my mind I never can say goodbye 'Cause every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let you go Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go
Mariah Carey inspired me to go all in with my music. She was just like me, an artist without many listeners. Now she’s on top. I believe it will happen for me one day 🧡🧡🧡
Visualize, perfect your craft and surround yourself with good people and you’ll get there! I’ll probably see you on tv and not even know it was you but I’ll pray for you to live your life’s dream!
I remember hearing this for this time. It was one of the few times I felt a song captured a feeling I REALLY HAD AT THE TIME. I still remember my ex when I hear this.......even now. Thanks Mariah!!
We went our separate ways after living together a year! He's still very much a part of who I evolved into.He called to congratulate me after I got married.
This song is when I fell in love with Mariah, I was 12 years old when she hit the scene . She came out with her self titled debut album in 1990 , then came out with Emotions in 1991 and this is the song that made me a Fan . I use to be like” Wow that Lady can really sing”. Anyway I ended up naming my First daughter after her , she passed away in 2006 at 7 years old. I love Mariah BOTH of them.❤️
45 years old and this song still gives me butterflies lol 😂 love love love this song, how many of us can relate to this song in our teenage years? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*"Can't Let Go" peak #2 in 1992.*
This deserved the #1.
its cause emotions was number 1 when cant let go was on the charts
Both her songs were top 2 haha who can even outdo Mariah???
Exactly, she got robbed.

Arianas voice is mostly at the top and cant go as low. Mariah had the most options w her voice more than any other singer. Plus Ariana sounds like a little girl at times. Just never understood that comparison.
@@skanksinatra514 agreed and if she is guided right, she can be around for a while.
She is not just great. She's incontestably the greatest.
I’m heartbroken that she didn’t sing this song live in the Music Box or Daydream era. It’s like after Emotions era was over she stopped singing this song live for a decade. 😢
When you’re gifted your music transcends through every generation. Mariah Carey has been one of my favorite artists of all time. Forever a fan ❤❤…. Remember these days in the 90’s R&B was amazing.
first 2 minutes of this track are her best work ever, in my opinion
Back to the wonderful 90’s
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. 🥹❤️ Still listening in 2024. 🥰
This is the Mariah I grew up listening to, and I still do to this day!
tamila Rankin love it girl!
Really I loved this song when I was little.
tamila Rankin yep Mariah taught me how to sing
@@desireehodge32 Really tell me everything she taught you.
😎
The greatest vocal range during the course of one song that you will ever hear. Low Range to glass shattering highs. Absolutely amazing.

Reminds me of my childhood
What "quarantine"?
I am
Flawless vocals 😍 Mariah Carey 😍
I'll never get over this song not going #1 on the Billboard charts. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Forever will be one of my favorites.
lish2014 Yes, it's a disappointement, to me, it's Mariah's most beautiful ballad.
lish2014 Agreed. It is very nicely performed/produced record. It did peak at #2 on Billboard Hot 100 Singles.
lish2014 One of my favorite songs of her
+lish2014 yeah it went to number two if I recall- I forget what kept it out...... pity coz its a great song...... :)
Marc Spector Yep it went #2 :) I actually think her song Emotions knocked it from going #1 hahaha
Can't let go
Uh baby
There you are
Holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I
Cherish your right?
Don't you know
You were my life?
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see
You in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone no no
Even though I try
I can't let go
'Cause something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see
You in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Do you even realize
The sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life?
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies?
I try and try
To deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind
Even though I try
(No no I just can't get you out of my mind)
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
(I never can)
Captured my soul
(Say goodbye)
And every night I see
You in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
(Something about you)
Captured my soul
(That I need so badly)
And every night I see
You in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Uh baby

GRACIAS por la traducción.
This song literally brought tears to my eyes back in the day. I was going through a painful divorce and this was exactly how I felt.
+69The lone wolfess69 Exactly
Raquel WHITE what
Raquel WHITE lol
I was 16 and the older guy I was seeing married another woman. I played this song all day every day.We are married now,so it worked out,but,I still know every word of this song.
I’m sorry, I hope you’re doing well now.
Her greatest track...So beautiful, elegant, and powerful...right down to the lbd and French roll...90s RnB was in a league of its own...❤️
It’s up there but she has so many damn amazing tracks. She is too good
Tell em!
this womans music has taken me through some of the darkest moments in my life. im so thankful to her she has no idea
✨✨💫
Same here 😭💜🙏🏻
I JUST GET THAT FEELING EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG! Unexplainable
Sophia Chung yessssss
Me three
it's piercing to the soul. very therapeutic
yeah, there is always a song that takes you back to the one you loved.the situation you were in at the time or the weather that was eventful enough to make you remember this song. this one takes me back to someone for sure.funny how a song can do that. i can even smell the air from that particular time hahaha..
You nailed it. I get that feeling too. It's euphoric.
Props to Mariah Carey for her immaculate talent in providing background vocals herself, her layering affect, that one notices on the many relistenings of masterpieces like this. Her producer credits are not talked enough about. Songwriter, lead singer, background singer, layering, producer! The real deal baby. She's an absolute talent that is not recognised enough, it blows my mind.
Excellent post. This also is largely responsible for why she has amassed the fortune she has. She has something in common with Madonna as far as being an astute businesswoman making the most out of her material.
One of the best R&B songs of '91 for sure. Mariah's voice range was unmatched back then. For a song about unrequited love, and letting go, great to hear this again. It was in my head before waking up this am. Some things, and people, we just have to let go of. I think that is the message.
How do you sing the living hell out of a song like this when you’re barely old enough to drink? (She was twenty-one.) How much life could she have possibly lived to have this much soul? Mariah is miraculous.
She had quite the childhood. You should read her book (or listen to the audiobook)
Whitney gone too soon but we still have power house mariah❤ u girl🇯🇲
This should have been number #1. This woman deserves even MORE number ones. Eternal queen of music💖🦋
Blocked from hitting #1 by “All 4 Love” by Color Me Badd
Actually did hit #1 for a week on the Radio and Records chart. Also known as Casey Casum Top 40
Agree 💯
Mariah has the most number 1 hits of any solo artist and 2nd overall just behind The Beatles.
Tommy pulled the single for album sales 😢
I'm convinced Emotions is Mariah's most soulful albums. These tracks really give you that deep and haunting vibe. These tracks and the album really deserve more recognition. It's one of the most underrated in Mariah's discography :((
I think her least favored Album would probably be Glitter, and to me anyway, her most underrated Album could be Charm bracelet.
My favorite Mariah Carey Album now is The Emancipation Of Mimi.
I remember vividly when this tune was a big hit.
I was in the hospital facing and recovering from brain surgery.
This tune and a few others helped me through it all.
Mariah Carey should have more than 18 #1 songs! This song should have been #1.
+Jen Fontejon tbh all her songs should be #1s bc shes that fab. plus shes written over 350+ songs in her life and more to come #L4L
+XXXMCButterflyLambXXX Oh i totally agree you are right all her songs should be #1...
This song would have been her sixth #1 had Columbia/Sony not halted it in an attempt to boost sales of Emotions it peaked at #2 she has countless songs that received similar treatment like Butterfly Breakdown and The Roof and she has an amazing catalogue she has songs that are better than her #1's
kis

The greatest vocalist of all time and most beautiful women ever
Aht aht! I'm the most beautiful woman in the world.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought Dimash kudaibergen
Was best
Nah bro. Fran Drescher
I just get goosebumps listening to classic Mariah! Flawless!
I still get chills at 3:21. My favorite singer. The greatest!
This song is beyond words. I don't know how else to express how amazing this song is, she truly is a gifted talent which everyone fails to acknowledge. Respect her platform !
Mariah was REVOLUTIONARY in the 90s. BEST Ever
100% agree with this. When a song moves your soul this much, it’s a beautiful thing 🙏🏽
Most beautiful song I've ever heard...there will never be another Mariah Carey
Deanna Duncan unless they clone her
I'm so happy people love this song like I do! (and Mariah! :) )
Deanna Duncan So TRUE
Deanna Duncan LIke the one who sang this type of songs. However, there will be hundreds of good singers that will follow the trend in order to produce commercial music. We sadly live in a world where the only real God that rules is Mr. Money.
It's not about talent anymore...I'm not sure what the entertainment business is doing now...but they are putting me to sleep! lol ;)
If UA-cam was created in the 90s, this song would have hundred millions of views or more.
I appreciate this era ..id never know what love and hurt mean if i didnt
I didn’t realize this song was over 30 years old. It’s a real classy song performed by a stellar artist- Mariah Carey. Beautiful with an incredible voice.
This remains one of my personal favorite Mariah songs. That chorus just sticks with me so strongly. :-)
Soo happy I lived during this era; what a great privledge to have played these songs on the radio. I just took this for granted- today's music is nowhere close to having as much ❤.
the best! Mariah, Whitney, Michael, George Michael, Prince, Celine, Madonna! and more....
Could’ve have been a number one hit. But end up number 2; still one of her best.
Holy shit this video is sheer opulence, with that soft fade adding to the entire ethereal atmosphere of the song. Damn this is classic Mariah.
It's criminal that this amazing classic only has 17M views. 😢
Yuh Indeed, criminally underrated 😭🤧💔
It's really a hidden gem that I've always liked.
She is the only woman on earth that goes so deep in my soul and makes my cry ❤️
Totally agree with u
I agree
Tell me about it !!!
Lies again? Like Geylang
Almost 30 years later this song is still amazing. Raw talent at its best. This was just the beginning of a legendary career.
I swear UA-cam is the closest thing to a time machine..
This song is a time machine it takes me back to ancient egyptian civilization or adam and eve times
Nostalgic music you can find on UA-cam wonderful isn’t it?
yea it sho is u don't need a car a phone booth a hot tub or a infinity stone all u need is a phone lol 😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎
The virtual jukebox.😂 Agree.
ah yes, I agree.
This song lives. It captures the timeless emotion of unrequited love with a 70’s-80’s nostalgic beat sung by a beautiful woman in anguish. It grabs me every time I hear it.
This song has nothing 70s in it its pure late 80s early 90s.
I want to throw my 2 cents in. First let me break down the question and answer in sections, then as a whole. "Timeless emotion of unrequited love" check. I get that. "70s-80s nostalgic beat," If I am correct, the synthesizer used was first on the scene in the late 70s by other artists. You can hear some of Keith Sweat in the beginning-and he used it in 87. This jazz arrangement was popular on many quiet storm jazz radio stations. Also, musicians primarily use what is popular at the time. Most studios don't have the money to keep up with so many different instruments or changing soundboard as often. Now, I know she had access to things because of her label-but most musicians will use a current sound-the same way car companies have similar looking cars like their competitors. "Beautiful woman in anguish" I've seen it a lot. It's called student loans lol and to also mention yes-those instruments were used in the 90s. So you both were right. Right on.
The greatest challenge is LETTING GO. Describing me in every word from beginning to end. Finally begging my Lord GOD and Savior to lift me from this, the greatest sorrow I have ever felt, and it literally took everything inside me to move on. Falling to my knees is what it took and I am so grateful.
Young Mariah was just something different. The fact she wrote her own stuff...and that VOICE.
The fact that rolling stone magazine gave this album 2 stars is absolutely disgusting. An absolute masterpiece. One of the forgotten Magnum Opus works of the 90's
Rolling Stone was always a Rock-&-Roll boy's club. Gospel and Jazz influenced music detracted from Rolling Stone obsessed idylization of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. In the era before Mariah Carey, they would only give minimal credit to Madonna because she was synthesizers and was a out-spoken chick.
Absolutely
F**k Rolling Stone.🙄
what do Those white boys know about soul
It's probably because she was just copying Whitney.
Wow, Mariah wearing a beehive, she looks adorable. This song was so pretty, her voice is like angels singing. One of the most amazing voices in history.
what is that you're wearing on yo head? 😂😂😂😂😂
You're absolute right.
That hairstyle was the ish back in 1991.
ONE?
Only Mariah could of pull off this song the way it was supposed to done.This is what I call true gifted talent....
“And every night i see you in my dreams you’re all i love ..i can’t let go “
Every time another Christina Aguilera or Ariana Grande pops up, reminds me of how they can NEVER hold a candle to Mariah in her prime. There will never be another like her.
AMEN. 👏👏👏
Anthony Natas I really liked Mariah until she became a R&B - hip hop singer or when her songs became a whisper from beginning to end with just a couple of high notes along the way :( . What a lost !
Agree. She's definitely not what she was in first three albums. Started going downhill from there.
***** that album was actually one of her bests, tbqh. Personally, it helped me get through a lot of problems I thought were inescapable. Song like Petals and Can't Take That Away are close to many because it's easy to connect to. Not to mention the flawless Crybaby. But to each his own, I guess.
*****
The 90s was just a different vibe.....
Máš pravdu, krásna doba čas ktorý sa žiaľ už nezopakuje!!! Žijeme vo veľmi zlej dobe.Chybaju mi časy 89,90 roky.
She’s without a doubt the greatest female singer of all time…
One of them
Vocalist. Singer is subjective. Unfortunately people cannot be objective, she clearly is especially in her prime but cover singer stans they will never accept it and will always try to find excuses or subjective opinions to say the opposite because objectively 91-96 nobody was at the same level of vocal abilities. She raised the bar and she will always be the GOAT
And song writer !
Period
She is a great singer as they were many other great singers too and that is not opinion but FACT...
Music is something that has the ability to heal, let us rejoice in the true beauty it possesses...
Gorgeous song, gorgeous singing, that switch in the verse tone after the first chorus, Awesome. What a great catalogue, just this song alone shines
Greatest female voice of all time. It's not close.
Absolutely, I was lucky enough to hear her voice live in 2016, I'm still shocked thinking about that time 😭🤧❤️
Gotta be close when someone named Whitney Houston lived
Year 2020 anyone?? Super Obsessed with this Song!!!
Yep. I will give you a comment.
I was so obsessed that I had to co write a song with this producer and I did.
@@STMARTIN009 qqqq
This song is timeless never get tired of hearing it. Very deep and profound.
This is MC in her RnB bag.... this song is TREMENDOUSSSSSS....Like this is a Whitney level song...
Mariah Carey is better than Whitney Houston.
This is one of Mariah's best songs, and probably the best track from Emotion (1991).
French Rolls....ohh the 90s hairstyles!!! I will always love this song...
That nice hairstyles
Yes and black & white are the perfect match for 1991, same as the beauty hairstyle.
French twist not French rolls
It's an 60s retro hairstyle actually.
@@nathanbeanreversedmusic123 I still use black and white only for my pictures idk something about it draws me in
This song is definitely right there at the top as Mariah's best for yours truly!! It is a pure vocal masterpiece! I have forever loved this classic ballad since its 1991 release. Plus, Mariah looked absolutely fabulous in this video. This was Mariah at her absolute finest, just as her career was taking off in its early stages!!
Yea before Tommy got a hold of her..... I miss this voice I miss her music
Yeah I am with you as well! Mariah early in her career was incredible!!!
.
Kelley Germroth he already had a hold of her during this time.. even tho they weren’t married yet
its that feeling of not being able to let go of that one relationship that you know its time to let go . this song captures the raw emotion behind finally letting go. the moments where you feel so empty, cause its no longer that certain someone and you. being caught in the thought and feeling that you'll never love like that again. but when it hurts more to stay than letting go! it just takes time to walk through it. see, the truth is, I was the problem. i was told by a trusted friend that maybe I was standing in the way of her happiness, that if I really loved her let her go cause I honestly wasn't giving her what she deserved.that if I wasn't willing to give her what she needed i should stop being selfish! Hard truth medicine to swallow.
One of her best songs, well written , arranged and produced to perfection
My #1 favourite Mariah Carey song!
It's not a number 1
@@stevenrichardson4899 out of all the songs she has had, this is my number #1 favorite song of hers. It does not need to be a billboard number 1 to be my number 1.
I don't have a #1 Mariah Carey song, she has so many great song/albums. I don't think it be fair to Mariah to just pick one. This is a beautiful, timeless, classic.
Lyrics:
There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right
Don't you know you were my life
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone, no no
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind
No I just can't get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
'Cause every night
I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let you go
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
i havent gotten chills like this in a loooooooong time
And to think that she wrote this song at 21 ...
Can't let go is sooooo true. Mariah has the voice an Angel the words are true true it's always chills up and down my spine
Thanks
Thank you
Will always be my fav from mariah, my high school days ❤
Mariah Carey inspired me to go all in with my music. She was just like me, an artist without many listeners. Now she’s on top. I believe it will happen for me one day 🧡🧡🧡
Keep moving
And believe in yourself.
Best wishes
You got a supporter right here I'm working on paving my way through music as well Goodluck in your journey.

Visualize, perfect your craft and surround yourself with good people and you’ll get there! I’ll probably see you on tv and not even know it was you but I’ll pray for you to live your life’s dream!
I remember hearing this for this time. It was one of the few times I felt a song captured a feeling I REALLY HAD AT THE TIME. I still remember my ex when I hear this.......even now. Thanks Mariah!!
+Estella Cohen What happened to your ex?
We went our separate ways after living together a year! He's still very much a part of who I evolved into.He called to congratulate me after I got married.
Estella Cohen Interesting. I hope you are happier now.
Candace Dawn Thanks. Talking about it often seems like I'm talking about someone else......and I am!
this song comes from "make it last forever"
This song is when I fell in love with Mariah, I was 12 years old when she hit the scene . She came out with her self titled debut album in 1990 , then came out with Emotions in 1991 and this is the song that made me a Fan . I use to be like” Wow that Lady can really sing”. Anyway I ended up naming my First daughter after her , she passed away in 2006 at 7 years old. I love Mariah BOTH of them.❤️
❤️
🥺😞
AWWW so terribly sorry for your loss....
😢💔
❤❤
2:02 when she says captured my soul it hits me hard
45 years old and this song still gives me butterflies lol 😂 love love love this song, how many of us can relate to this song in our teenage years? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am 43 and feel the same❤😁
This song came out when I was 10. My first truly favorite song and the first album I ever bought (on cassette 😂)!!
Whos sings original?

One of ma favourite all time from Mariah. What a excellent singer, gifted vocal ability.

THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST EVER!
She’s so damn gorgeous and classy in this video!
"I try and try to deny that I need you, but still you remain on my mind." Yesssss, Mariah !!! One of my favorite ballads from her.
Who can sing this flawlessly like Mariah did.
The key change will gut punch you in the feels.
