Was This Really Necessary, Mariah????

Filed under: Mariah Carey

For the release of her new ballads CD, Mimi felt the need to re-record her classic song Hero, and she even did a new video for it.

They're both hideous. She can't sing anymore!

CLICK HERE to check out the video and new version.

Compared to the originals, this is just depressing!

    That was horrid! Everything about it was just tragic. && someone tell me why her face looks like it's melting.



  2. 102

    She could never sing.



  3. 103

    She's so annoying and so is the damn song. I wish this nearly 40-year-old skank who dresses like a tennaged hootchie mama would just go away!!!

    Being that I was a huge fan of Mariah when she was in her prime.. this really was disappointing and upsetting and TOTALLY unnecessary.
    Why would she re-do a song and not change anything about it?? I mean, I thought it would be somewhat remixed. Lame Mariah. Almost as lame as your marriage.

    the original is better. she tried to make some subtle changes, but i don't think it worked too well.



  6. 106

    She can't sing? This coming from a guy who thinks that Katy Perry is amazing. HA!



  7. 107

    i dont think its a matter if she can still sing or not, i think its to do if she still sings from the heart. i believe over the years she has become way to arrogant and self absorbed therefore her words no longer seem believable.



  8. 108

    Yeah… That was pretty bad. And it does pain me to say that



  9. 109

    The original was bad enough, but this…she's croaking her way through it, the video is about her dog, and it IS beyond depressing. I would have laughed if she hadn't once had a great voice at one time. My guess is that she's drinking too much and/or overmedicated on prescripition drugs. Whatever the case, it's destroyed her voice. I didn't like the original because the lyrics are so sappy–she originally wrote it for Gloria Estefan who refused to perform it, and I never questioned that–but at least Mariah sang the original on key. Very sad to see a once great talent come to this.

    i thought you were being a jerk as usual but you are right. why would she re-make this song and do such a lousy job? what is happening to her voice?



  11. 111

    are you serious? i think mariah is tacky, annoying, and a shitty musician, but you cannot deny the fact that she has one of the best voices in the business.



  12. 112

    what yes she can get ur ears checked honey
    i love this song



  13. 113

    Mariah has publicly stated that she has never been happy with the way Columbia records made her record it. She sounds great then and amazing now.. people really need to get over hating her, especially your ridiculous ass..



  14. 114

    The video was lame, but it's a live version of a song. Watching you on talk shows…you stutter and stumble over words. I rarely stop by this blog any more because you're so nasty towards people. You're on their side when others find them popular, and you're just deflecting hate when they're not.



  15. 115

    Sorry Perez, but I think it's rude to say that she CAN'T SING anymore. This might not meet the expectations because Hero (1993) sounded perfect, but admit it, Mariah's bad rendition is still good enough right? She has made her mark. Mariah will always be Mariah. She has dedicated her voice to us over the years. Let's just be considerate enough.

    y u such a hater perez?

    lol i loved it.

    she needs to leave that punk though. i saw him in veges las year at lax, and he had a string of some hussy white bitches.

    hes a fake person.

    he tried to get me to come back to his room, but i wasn't putting out so he left me behind.

    i think nick canon is a sick bastard.

    i dont know y shes with him…seems kinda desperate to me.



  17. 117

    I prefer this version. Sometimes the high loud notes she does border on screaming and gets fricken annoying. Love to see anyone rubbishing her on here try to sing it live as good as she does…



  18. 118

    OMG I LOVE MARIAH AND I WILL ADMIT THIS ISNT HER AT HER BEST BUT SHE HAS PROVEN HER SELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN SHE CAN STILL HIT THE NOTES AND MAKE THE MUSIC SHE MADE IN THE 90'S BUT SHE IS DOING HER NOW AND SHE IS HAVING FUN IN THE PROCESS WHY DOES PEREZ FAT NASTY GREASY ASS HAVE TO MAKE FUN OF HER ALL THE TIME HE CAN NEVER EVER SOUND OR EVEN HIT A NOTE LIKE HER, HE NEEDS TO STOP HATING AND GROW THE FUCK UP HE IS THE BEST..
