6:01 is my favorit climax version of Hero that I've been using for years everytime I sing karaoke, using Eric Martin's music version. I'm addicted to this version
Even though Mariah disliked this song from the beginning since it's not her style to write and sing cheesy inspirational ballads, Hero remains her most performed song. It's been included in all of her concert tours and is regarded as her signature song.
The way she hit those notes with speed and accuracy, is out of this world.. No hesitation, like she just hit the trigger and bam, the beautiful notes comes out just like that..
I remember first hearing the audio for this all the years ago... for ages I thought Arsenio Hall was a grand Hall somewhere where she did a concert. I remember being captured by 'it's a looooNg road' which was like a river, switching streams and I was hooked!
It's kind of unfortunate that Daydreamriah was struggling with pitch especially with her F#5s & G5s but the fact that she was frequently reaching the upper end of her belting range is already crazy itself.
