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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.

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.
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. 😢
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.
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'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.
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
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? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.❤️
Everything is perfect in this video: The song The melody The lyrics The visuals The flowers!! The hair! French do?! That face!!! The jewelry! The emoting and acting! That dress!!! Listening March 10, 2020!!! Lamb For Life!
This video make me think of heavenly natural world pratically adam and eve times just nothing but plants and trees and flowers with fresh oceans and rivers and tropical jungle setting
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.
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.
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.
Your music was more than just music Mariah, you know that? Maybe this will get lost amid all of the other comments but your work was more than just music to many of us. It was immortal memories from what was an amazing period of time for many of us.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
I am with you darling I gave you a thumbs-up on Mariah Carey she was born May 12th 1970 Mariah Carey I knew Mariah Carey songs back in the 80s and 90s and today she's one beautiful hot and sexy woman singer of all 😍😍💯😍💯😘💋💋💋💋💋😍 and she reminds me of an Angel when she sings when she sings from the heart and soul 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️💋❣️❤️ more 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💋 timdowns1970@hotmail.com deer Hunter deer Hunter with a capital d darling and God bless you darling 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙌 with with a moon and a 🌟🎂🎉🎈💓💓 behind me tonight darling 😘❤️💋💋💋😍😍💯💋❣️❤️ and God bless you darling 💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙌

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?

I guess it depends on her actual birthday. Evidently there's a question if she was born in 1969 or 1970? The video was filmed in 1990 and released in 1991.
She was born in 1970 (Marcy 27). Her mother said so on the Oprah show in 1997. I don't know how wikipedia and others have confusion about her birth year. It's not exactly difficult to find. She wrote and recorded songs for the Emotions album in late 1990 and 1991.
This one and 'Anytime you need a friend' are my top two favorite Mariah songs. I was six when this song came out. I wore this cassette tape out...who remembers cassette tapes?
I remember those I used to record music with those I was about the same age as you when this came out man how time flies. This has to be if not my favorite song of hers
I agree with Kelley. Tommy got very possessive of her n did not want her in any video with any man. It’s very rare to see her interacting with a male co-star in early videos. Listen to the song “Side Effects”. It speaks of the hell he put her through
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!!
Emotions wasn’t doing well commercially so they had to remove this song from stores completely so that people would have to buy the album to listen to it. I’m pretty sure it’s her least successful album of the 1990s
When you're down and lonely, Feeling like pariah, Listen to her music, The name is Mariah. With the voice so soothing, Your spirit is moving Towards goddess Gaia, As wind whispers Mariah. When you listen to her, It just gets you higher, But intoxication never does expire. Pray to goddess Gaia, Thank her for Mariah.
I always love this song but I don't care what some people say about Mariah Carey i always think she is the most beautiful woman in the world n plus her singing is beautiful too with her songs n videos also too along with Whitney Houston Janet Jackson Mary J. Blige n others beautiful women singers ❤❤❤❤

She was the true Embodiment Of The 90s Era. The Epitome Of SOUL.❤️🔥✌️😌
3:11
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. 😢
Mariah used to love a black and white music video.
Ronnie Arellano You Forgot I Stay In Love
Ronnie Arellano lol
Black-and-white music videos were quite popular in the 1990s.
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 ;)
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
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.

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
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
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 !
Best singer 🙌🏽🙌🏽💯❤
Period
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
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?
Dec 2021
Yup!
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 😢
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....
😢💔
❤❤
What a voice,what a woman,what a jam.I can't get enough of this jam,ohhhhhhhh.Guys come on this jam deserves the most likes.
The raw emotion and the escalation of the song is captivating
YES. She sings with emotional URGENCY. You can hear the stakes in her voice. Storytelling with her instrument.

A some comment!
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.
one of my favorite songs from her. it's so underrated. This was pure R&B for her.
Love this song...
patrina baptiste
eric gray It's not underrated. All of Lambs (Mariah Carey fans) love this and praise this song to heaven.
+Alixandra Celline I know right this song was at number 2 blocked by color me badd
Agreed. This is one song I kept on repeat in the 90s and, in my opinion, is also one of Mariah's hardest songs to sing live.
I can't let go 2019 who is here .
Me thanks
Right here with you and I can't let go. Something in your eyes capture my soul.
I can't let go either...lol

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.
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.
Your music was more than just music Mariah, you know that? Maybe this will get lost amid all of the other comments but your work was more than just music to many of us. It was immortal memories from what was an amazing period of time for many of us.
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.
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.

It’s up there but she has so many damn amazing tracks. She is too good
Tell em!
Imagine being a teen in the 90s in love and heart broken & this is your favourite song
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.
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🇯🇲
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.
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.
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.
*****
Omg Mariah still gives me chills! Love her voice from heaven!
She's from heaven! =)
Yes
I know right!!
Now go listen to How Can I Ease The Pain....different artist....same feeling

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.
Can't let go
Uh baby
There you are
Holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I
Cherish your right?

Captured my soul

Captured my soul
(Say goodbye)
And every night I see
You in my dreams

Mariah Carey was my first celebrity crush as a kid. ❤
She was smokin hot.
The key change will gut punch you in the feels.
One of ma favourite all time from Mariah. What a excellent singer, gifted vocal ability.
Also, can we just acknowledge that Mariah was freaking 20 here??
she was 21
that is crazy -- WOW!!!
Nola Chick kardashians
I guess it depends on her actual birthday. Evidently there's a question if she was born in 1969 or 1970? The video was filmed in 1990 and released in 1991.
She was born in 1970 (Marcy 27). Her mother said so on the Oprah show in 1997. I don't know how wikipedia and others have confusion about her birth year. It's not exactly difficult to find. She wrote and recorded songs for the Emotions album in late 1990 and 1991.
never knew someone could say the word "hand" so beautifully.
This one and 'Anytime you need a friend' are my top two favorite Mariah songs. I was six when this song came out. I wore this cassette tape out...who remembers cassette tapes?
those are my two favourite as well.
Omg me too!!! I LOVE love Anytime You Need A Friend. These two are my all time favourite from her. KnotsofVessels oceanblue
those are my two favs also knots! i was 8 when this came out. it reminds me of being at the boys and girls club. confusing times back then.
When this came out I was 17! I was a teenager back then. :-) I got her album on a cassette and I recorded this edited version off the radio. :-)
I remember those I used to record music with those I was about the same age as you when this came out man how time flies. This has to be if not my favorite song of hers
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.

Yea untill Tommy Mottatoala made her change and controlled her
I agree with Kelley. Tommy got very possessive of her n did not want her in any video with any man. It’s very rare to see her interacting with a male co-star in early videos. Listen to the song “Side Effects”. It speaks of the hell he put her through

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.
The craziest thing about this song is it only made it to number 2 on the charts.
I've always found that unbelievable.
Emotions wasn’t doing well commercially so they had to remove this song from stores completely so that people would have to buy the album to listen to it. I’m pretty sure it’s her least successful album of the 1990s
