January 7, 200916 yr She's still great and all, but when this doesn't hold a candle to the original recording. This really magnifies the deterioration of her voice. I don't get why she re-recorded it. I know it's for the US release of Ballads, but are they releasing this as a single? Seems pointless to me. They should've left the original on the album.
January 8, 200916 yr It's not great is it. It's like she's doing karaoke of her former self, it sounds like she's trying so hard to sound like the original. Is this supposed to be like a 'live' version because it doesn't sound like a studio song. She says "coz you know you can survive" at one time and "because you know you can survive" later on, I feel it needs to be more consistent. While I'm moaning about the whole "because" thing, I think she should have just left the lyric at "and", it flows so much better. I guess she didn't like that three of the four lines of that part began with "and". I think that's about it apart from I hate the "you-and-you-n-you" bit she does at the end. I thought that'd be a one off thing she did on X Factor. -_-
January 10, 200916 yr Author I don't understand why she's re-recorded it for her old record label's album release?
January 15, 200916 yr I actually really like this version and prefer it to the original... :mellow: Hero, admittedly, is not one of my favourite Mariah tracks and I think it's very overrated but hey ho. She hits some big notes in this which I didn't think it was possible for her to hit anymore so i'm slightly pleased. BRING ON THE NEXT ALBUM. :arrr:
January 16, 200916 yr I don't understand why she's re-recorded it for her old record label's album release? It's to help promote The Ballads, she'll be doing some appearances to promote it too... She's helping to promote the album because despite Mariah not being signed to that label anymore, because she wrote pretty much all of the tracks on the album she will get A LOT of money from the album doing well, through writing credits and whatnot. She did a new photoshoot for the album sleeve, she personally handpicked the songs to go on the album, re-recorded Hero and is going to promote it as well. Way to cash in Mariah! ^_^
January 17, 200916 yr If she puts as much effort into singing as she does with looking and standing pretty, then her singing might actually improve a bit. :kink:

Her ex hasn't been on Sony for a while has he? :unsure:

A resounding WHO please?

A resounding WHO please? Oh yeah, well Columbia/Sony same sorta thing. :lol: I was just wondering if her being cosy with them again - recording a new version of this for that album - was a sign that she could go back to them since Tomy must have been her main reason for leaving them. I didn't realise he was responsible for the music career of Lindsay Lohan though. :o I have heard of Thalia though but let's face it, she's no Shakira. :heehee:
February 3, 200916 yr ofcourse not!! the originals are always the best, even if you cover it yourself.. but still not THAT bad! her voice isn't what it used to be
