July 13, 201312 yr eeeeerrrrmmmmm. in WHAT WORLD are Triumphant and Angels Cry better songs than Up Out My Face? I mean the Nicki single version is not as great as the original but let's be real here. Love Butterfly (the reprise moreso) and Can't Let Go is sublime.

We also have the amazing Anytime You Need A Friend which again should be MUCH higher than it is. Which cannot be said for the following three which are just Mariah on autopilot and vapid of any real emotion in them in my opinion - one of my most disliked Mariah songs is actually Bye Bye for the fact how disingenuous it sounds and the lyrics just make me cringe - "Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins, this is for my people who just lost their grandmothers". No.
July 13, 201312 yr The 'Bye Bye' video gives me some serious "moments". The most notable one being the part where she wipes away the "tear"! *.* 'Through the Rain' deserves far higher, imo. But it is about where I expected for some reason :(
July 13, 201312 yr Pretty blah bunch of songs. How anyone can like I Stay In Love I do not know. Hideous.
July 13, 201312 yr omg jonjo. god bless mariah + her 'moments' i think me and jake are gonna fall out on some of these scores!!!! "up out my face" a zero??? g0rl PLEASE
July 13, 201312 yr She performed 'I Stay In Love' on the X Factor in 2008 didn't really set the charts alight with a peak of #95.

We then have her big debut with Boyz II Men, One Sweet Day which sadly does nothing for me. Whilst I liked and enjoyed it at the time, I Want To Know What Love Is feels considerably high ... but each to their own. We also have her first of two Christmas songs on the countdown, the more recent Oh Santa! is at #22 and I do think it deserved more success and attention that it got, but was unfairly overlooked. We also have a bit of classic Mariah with the cute Emotions which is just so much fun!
July 13, 201312 yr I Want To Know What Love Is for all intents and purposes is a totally unnecessary cover, but I just cannot help but love it. It's as by the numbers as it gets, but it's a genre and style I have muchlove for.
July 14, 201312 yr I clearly didn't vote cause Through The Rain would have got an 11 from me. Adore the song, far too low!
July 14, 201312 yr "Emotions" is SO GOOD! I'm not that bothered about its low placing, more the average it received. It'd definitely be a 10 for me now/11 contender. I also liked "I Want to Know What Love is" at the time, but I rarely listen to it now. Edited July 14, 201312 yr by THEO.

One of my favourite Mariah songs :(. So cute, breezy and summery. We then have her cover of Ill Be There which I used to adore but I can either take or leave now. We then have two more Emancipation of MiMi singles in Don't Forget About Us and Shake It Off, both of which are among her best imo. Then we have a dreary, cheesy ballad with Whitney Houston in When You Believe .... at least it is better than Leon Jackson's version I guess ...
July 14, 201312 yr 'Shake It Off' is great, as is that whole era! 'I'll Be There' is such a beautiful cover of a classic. Getting to the proper classics now though! :D
July 14, 201312 yr what the f***? Dreamlover is my favourite Mariah song. Although I'm beginning to think my votes weren't counted seeing as I gave it a 10 and I'm not on the 10s list...
July 15, 201312 yr Author Yours were counted as were some others, but I forgot to mark whos votes were whos. Sorry!

We then have the most weird / shocking result (imo) so far as Ill Be Lovin U Long Time manages to make it all the way to #12. Dont get me wrong, I do love the song and think it is probably her best single released from that era but doesn't deserve to be QUITE so high. Painfully, we also have one of my personal faves Heartbreaker just miss out on a Top 10 placing, again with one of her best videos to date! :(
