Brenda K. Starr/Mariah Carey-Ultra Rare Unseen- I Still Believe-Apollo ,NY( 1988)4K HD 

Thank you for pointing these out - I'm dead...LOL. So we can credit Brenda with teaching Mariah spastic arm and hand movements. :)

@@DJQTUBE Oh goodness... the hand movements MC did on the medley of "If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over the Rainbow" 😧

Where??? What part of that video does Mariah do that, 'cause I've just watched that video and can't find that part you mention??? What minute and second of that video to make the comparison???

The guy is a moron

Hey, thanks for this comment! I immediately stopped the video and thumbed down. I hate videos with misleading titles like this one.

Yeeeeessssssss! She K I L L E D that shyt!

She might’ve been way in the back with the band or on side of stage so only Brenda was seen as the star. Mariah was in her band at the time period.

@@kennyking4050 She's just singing with a backing track, no band there. But thanks for the video!!

@@kennyking4050 misleading video

prolly just meant to drop Mariah's name for recognition. Most peepz prolly don't know she's the original one, but only know this song through Mariah Carey.

MC was her back up singer at one time

It wouldn't be good cause mariahs voice is not fluid how it use to be so it wouldn't keep up with brenda especially live

@@MMA-rc3mv Lol don't act like Brenda didn't age as well. Her voice was already deteriorated already during the early 00s.

@joshuavidad6025 well I just seen a recent performance from brenda and after watching that I can assure you you sing mariah under the rushed still has her voice fluid,power, sustaining long notes ...I didn't see her struggling at all

old school here love Brenda . cant really compare them . Mariah has a soul edge . Brenda has a latina edge... beyonce has a Aftican edge . Shalira has a latina edge

I like Brenda’s version much better.

Brenda was first, otherwise MC wouldn't have re-made the song.

best version ever ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rY5B9hIHR6o.html

*whose

@Repentforthekindomogiahbrenda made this song.. mariah sang backup on brendas song..

*TOOK IT TO HELL* Where's Debo when you need him to use that line from "I Got The Hook Up" ???????????????

HAD potential??? This was one of the biggest songs in America at the time. It’s not like she didn’t make it. THIS is how television shows looked in the 80’s.

She went worldwide with this… and didn’t shit on anyone. That’s true success

@@isaiahmarquez9717 yes im 55 .. she was almost as big as evelyn chanpagne . almost as big as mariah. almost as big as cathy dennis.. ailly willy

@@isaiahmarquez9717 silly willy

Yes it is 😃

I totally agree!👍

Not even on your dreams

Hold up now. Mariah did her damn thing too.

They don’t even sound the same loll

@@cressapellom4205 = You mean *MARY J 2.0* FFFFFFFFFFF Mariah !!!!!!! She needs a HERO

@@cobrakainevereverdies6940Mary J Blige said Mariah inspired her and saved her life with her music

I'm a Mariah's fan, but Brenda's belting technique is great. Her whole body is engaged in the belting effort. Her breath support is very good. There is no tension in the throat while singing loud and high, without mixing. In a certain way, she makes me think of Irene Cara. There are some off-key moments, due to the fact that she refuses to transitionize in head voice, but it's very courageous.

lol you're funny but i understand. Mariah's voice is on another level than Brenda.

Mariah sang backup for Brenda. It was before she got famous. 👍

@kennyking4050 I know perfectly their story. I'm following MC since 1990. I said why in this particular video is mentioned MC?

It’s a click bait. But has some truth as Mariah sang backup for her then. She should’ve been there tho. I have other footage of Mariah singing with Brenda thats up. 😃👍

@@kennyking4050 No honor in clickbait. Surprised you have any subscribers left. I'd never sub.

Yes it is. 👍

You have a Snickers

😭🤣😂

Yes it is. 👍

Thanks to clickbait. 😅

She wasn’t behind her success she actually just introduced her to the right people and Mariah took off from that point on and became bigger then she and her Brenda could’ve imaged and Brenda got bitter and upset and she wanted to use all of Mariah songs as her own which she wouldn’t allow her to do so but Brenda allowed her to remake her song and Mariah’s I still believe made a bigger impact and success then Brenda although Mariah gave her credit and shows tons of love to she she didn’t think Mariah did enough she wanted that house Mariah promised her but when your being controlled and married you the head of sony you can’t do much of anything

​@@IWeaselomg. Well I'm glad Mariah got bigger because, Brenda is an awful singer and Mariah is gorgeous. Such a difference!!!!

The reason behind Mariahs success is herself lmao many people can get a recording contract

Yes. Mariah was Brenda’s backup singer.

She sang backup for Brenda. She wasn’t famous yet so they kept the band on the side of the stage. ✌️

@@kennyking4050why did you put Mariah name in the title if she’s not in this video?

Antoinette Armato and Giuseppe Cantarelli… both incredible writers. Produced by Eumir Deodato.

Interesting. The writers on Brenda's album are credited as: Antonina Armata, Bepee Cantorilli

@@Cccoast 👍

@@MusiqluvCA 👏

Never

@@michelcampos6476 always baby, always

Matter of opinion 😂 Brenda's version is the absolute best

@@JosephcMorales mariah's version is number #1

Matter of opinion Brenda's was the original and for someone who is a huge fan of Brenda...i don't really care too much for Mariah's version it doesn't do anything for me all her music sounds the same and isn't for me

2:58 yeah sure..

You name yourself a lamb that says it all sheep 🐑

​@@RyanlovesThexactly

u copied brenda's walking. she walked before you.

Como te atreves ? Su voz es buena, pero mariah en su mejor momento tenia la voz mas perfecta de todos los tiempos. Con mottola o sin el, ella estaba destinada a triunfar. Tenia a sony y a warner peliandose por ella.

Apollonia from the Prince Purple Rain movie. Singer/actress.

@@kennyking4050 OH 😮 . . . I've heard of her, but never saw her. I saw "Purple 🟣 Rain 🌧️ " come on tv a few times but never had an interest in watching it.

This was the 80s before all this crazy social media with everyone mimicking others..lol u wanna go back in time and tell her that? 😂

Then you are mentally insane. 😂

Bad take🫤

No problem 👍😃👍

No she didn't

You smoke crack don't ya?

I got Brenda singing it live from last week in concert also. Check it out👍✌️
