Mariah Carey - Vision of Love

Vision of Love by Mariah Carey Song Info

"Vision of Love" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey for her eponymous debut studio album (1990). It was written by Carey and Ben Margulies. After being featured on Carey's demo tape for Columbia Records, the song was re-recorded and produced by Rhett Lawrence and Narada Michael Walden. The song features a slow-dance theme tempo and backing vocals sung by Carey herself, and introduces her usage of the whistle register. The lyric of the song represents her past life filled with "alienation" and how she had dreamt of achieving her triumph over adversity up to the moment when it finally came to fruition as the "vision of love" that she had always believed in, despite everything that she has had to deal with in life. This was Carey's debut record and was released as the lead single from Mariah Carey on May 15, 1990 by Columbia Records. "Vision of Love" received universal acclaim from the music critics. While the song's production was typical of late 1980s pop, the vocals were not, being much more showy and expressing a wider range than artists popular at the time such as Paula Abdul and Debbie Gibson. It has been credited with popularizing the use of melisma in contemporary popular music and for inspiring several artists to pursue a music career. The New Yorker named "Vision of Love" the "Magna Carta of melisma" for its and Carey's influence on pop and R&B singers and American Idol contestants. Additionally, Rolling Stone said that "the fluttering strings of notes that decorate songs like "Vision of Love," inspired the entire American Idol vocal school, for better or worse, and virtually every other female R&B singer since the nineties." The song topped the singles charts in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, where it spent four weeks atop the chart. The accompanying music video for "Vision of Love" was filmed in April 1990. It features Carey in a large cathedral, where she meditates and sings by a large picture window. "Vision of Love" was performed on several television and award show ceremonies, such as The Arsenio Hall Show, Good Morning America, and the 33rd Annual Grammy Awards. It has been performed at almost every one of Carey's concerts and tours, and is featured on Carey's live album MTV Unplugged (1992) and on many of her compilation albums including #1's (1998), Greatest Hits (2001) and The Ballads (2008).

- A True Mucisian

The career of Mariah Carey is impeccable and legendary. She had so much music to release that she made an album every year in the 90s. She was Sony/Columbia's top selling act of the 90s. Adele is big right now and also was big when 21 was released. Mariah was the Adele of the 90s, though their music is completely different. Her music has only gotten better with each release. Why did they put that version of AIWFCIY on here? I guess I respect what Mariah wanted to do with the song. I hope she gets true promotion now that she is back with Sony Music again. This is a great collection of songs. Mariah has a good 20 songs that could have been singles that weren't.

- great but

why does it say the album was released in 1990 but there are songs on here that are from after 1990 mmm....................8(

- I love Mariah!

The times have been tough since my brother, dad, and I moved to NC to have a new family with my new mom, brother, and sister. I had really good friends in FLA and I missed them. We once played "Hero" on one of their CD players and we didn't know who sang it. I just recently found it on iTunes and was flooded with joy and good memories. All of the puzzle pieces fit together. Mariah Carey is my hero and "Hero" is my favorite song. She has a beutiful voice.

- Perfect. Mariah carey

This was her at her best I don't really like what she do now. Except for the Emancipation era or E=MC2 Era and Rainbow THOES are good.

- The Queen

I wish we had more music like this today. Mariah is and forever will be the Queen (perhaps after Whitney, may she rest in peace). Mariah's voice is just heaven. Love her!

- great album

I love Mariah Carey and I love her music specially her 90's and 2000's. I wish she went back to that, it was magical! šŸ’«

- Have <3

Ex Mother bought this CD for me a year or two ago...

- Wow!

Mariah's best collection ever! Now she's back to her birth label, we will hear wonders soon enough

- Hero

I love hero

- A must have!

I recommend getting each and everyone of Mariah's albums (yes even the newer ones such as Me. I am Mariah). They are simply masterpieces from beginning to end. This album has most of Mariah's hits which is great, just don't forget to check out her full albums. They have amazing songs that are passed up on! Love love LOVE MARIAH CAREY!!

- Arianaā€™s Better

But thatā€™s none of my businessā€¦ *sips tea*

- only here for Emotions

i like how she sings it and how Ariana Grande sings it.

- loving it!

great songs, some of her biggest hits! the only criticism i have would be that there are a lot of early 90's tracks that i love not on here only because they werent as popular as these ones. also, it doesnt have anything from her comeback years (Emancipation, E=MC2, Memoirs). overall, solid collection of one of the best singers of all time :)

- First album I bought

Love this album!!!!! It's worth it!!! Love you Mariah

- Awesome CD

Love listen to the songs even today what a great album keep it up Mariah you're the best!!! Just one thing, cover up your boobs

- Mariah is a diamond!

This album has all my favorite songs from Mariah! My #1 song is When you believe ft Whitney Houston I love that song!

- Mariah is a queen.

This is what call music and great vocals. Mariah is the best vocalist and song writer ever. Sad that she doesn't get the recognition that she deserves for her writing skills.

- Good collection

Enjoyable album!

- Great memorable music!

Loved her music since I was a kid, great album of all my favorites!

- A stirring collection of Mariah's hits!

This compilation is worth every penny! Mariah Carey is a versatile and unique artist! Often times I even feel that Mariah is too underrated! She doesn't get enough appreciation as is! For one, Mariah Carey isn't even included on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Artists which has always been a mystery to me. Also some people fail to realize that Mariah Carey writes ALL of her music (with the exception of covers). She has even sang other genres of music such as jazz and even rock songs! This woman is beyond amazing! I officially deem Mariah Carey the Empress of R&B/Soul! I have also came to a conlusion as well: Mariah Carey wasn't included on that God forsaken list because it's true, she's too good for that! She's also too good to be a judge on that rigged American Idol! I'll be honest and say that I was a little disappointed when Mariah agreed to be a judge on AI. Well I must respect the wishes of the Empress herself! Okay, I'm finished rambling!

- amazing!!!

i love this album from start to finish!!!!

- The best!!

She's the #queen for a reason!

- Love her

Love all her songs . One sweet day makes me wanna cry . Always be my baby is one of my favorites

- Love songs, but...

Without you has parts where her voice is a machine. Love the live version, dislike album version.

- I love Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is one of my favorite singers of all time I absolutely love her music I stared listening to Mariah Carey in April 2010 My mom bough me her 1s album instead of getting her greatest hits album on Easter Sunday She is way better than those singers for younger people like Miley Cyrus and she is a very talented person When she took a break from singing and recording all of her album she decided to take of her twins Morrocan and Monroe b/c she is really a good mom I can't for her to be a judge on American Idol with Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban :)

- Inspirational person

<3

- When You Believe

I have been going through the toughest time of my life for the past 3+ years. And trust me my life hasn't been a joy ride. But this song I came across the other day and forgotten all about the song until I heard it again, and it swept me off my feet and almost took me To a place of solitude that I haven't felt for the last 3+ years. What a gift that was to me at this time! I have always loved Mariah's voice and Whitney's voice so what a gift when you get both. I'm facing yet another huge back surgery and it's happening really fast to prevent some possible paralysis and it being right before the holidays and not being ready due to the pain I've been in, this song being able to calm my nerves and relax me when I'm just so overwhelmed, I just want to say Thank you for your wonderful gifted voice you share with everyone and make a difference in so many people's lives!

- Good

Reminds me of Soo Yung from Rush Hour

- Love old school

Mariah Carey! She was so lyrical

- The Queen

Whatever artist has this many amazing songs/hits/number 1s? She is the Queen, bow down haters!

- Bobby Bee

One of the rare ones I DONT own (mainly because I own so many of the ones the hits come off of). The Diva reigns! Now the reigning #1 selling artist- ALL-TIME!

- Mariah Carey <3

The best music ever

- Songbird

Mariah has a true and unique voice. So beautiful to listen, especially when she hits her high notes. I love all her songs some more than others, I am so happy I found the album. You are my Songbird, Mariah.

- The Top Diva!!!!!!!!!

MC IS THE QUEEN BEE!!!!!!!! This album is packed full of GREAT hits including Someday,Emotions,I'll Be There,Dream Lover,Fantsay and My All (In My Opinion is the best of Mariah's best songs) this album is worth the 17 bucks BUY IT. because it's double the songs from ones + a few remixes for only 6 more dollars like I said before BUYIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

- The Greatest Vocalist of Our Time

This album is a phenomenal culmination of all of Mariah's best songs. She truly is the greatest vocalist of our time and has defined how we as humans DEFINE music. Absolutely incredible.

- One of my favorite MC albums!

Love this MC album!

- Not good songs

I hate your songs and you are so lame.

- Best Album EVER!!!

Canā€™t go wrong with this album! Itā€™s the best of Mariah Carey EVER!!! No one will ever compare to Mariah Carey!

- Amazing Greatest Hits Collection

If you're on the border about Mariah Carey, defiantly start here, it has some of her #1's and fan favorites you'll love it!

- Love it!

Such a crazy amazing voice and crazy awesome songs!

- Ok

We would've had these songs on the previous #1s, I don't see the reasons to put this album out. But it's still good!

- Totes Faboo

I just feel so human when Mariah sings to me. She just captures my spirit animal as no performer ever has. Sometimes, when I am all alone I wear a wig and passionately sing Mariah's tunes into my bathroom mirror. If I had to describe Mariah Carey as a color, I would pick beige because it kind of sounds like "bae." If Mariah Carey was a brand of soda pop she would be Canada Dry Ginger Ale. I don't really have a reason for that, I just think it's an underrated soda pop. Mmmmmmmm. Mariah is love. Mariah is life.

- Love this!

I hope to see a essential collection from Mariah soon. Considering she has released multiple albums since this hit collection.

- R.I.P

Diva.

- Philip Jennelle

"Underneath The Stars" was the 6th and final single from the Daydream album it's a 3 track Remix CD Single and it's Extremely Rare and I wish it was here on iTunes Store but it's so hard to find I doubt it will ever be on the store.

- She is the Queen along with Whitney

They r both great and have magnifecent voices they r truely the Queens on the music world My fav song is Emotions This is coming from a kid tht enjoys this kind of music Ps: RIP whitney Rest In Peace:(

- She is so much better than Madonna

On vh1 it said Mariah Carey is the number 2 best singer of all time, and Madonna is number one. Madonna cannot nearly express as much soul as Mariah Carey not to mention Mariah's range

- Nowadays, I'm into old music.

Don't know why. There are so many great songs. But, I'm just so into old songs. It reminds me of old good memory in the past. And in my opinion, She's the best. She's much better than beyonce. Beyonce never beat her. The most favorite song to me is make it happen.

- MC

I <3 U MC!!!

- Love it!

This is a great collection! With the exception of the remix version of all I want for Christmas. The original version is far better and should have been included. All in all this is a must for all Mariah fans who followed her career from the beginning!
