The song/sound that Anthony was trying to bring to memory was "Make It Last Forever" by Kieth Sweat produced by famous R&B/New Jack Swing producer Teddy Riley 🙌🏾"Can't Let Go" samples this song. Mariah killed it and made it her own for sure! LEGEND! check out "Make It Last Forever" to see if you hear the similarities. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKgCLVl-bGY.html
Anthony, great ear! If you listen to the album version of "Can't Let Go" you definitely hear very similar chord progressions to "Make It Last Forever". FYI - Mariah released a song with Joe & 98 Degrees called "Thank God I Found You". It is not my favorite particularly; however, she released a remix to it called the "Make It Last Remix" and she did it with Joe & Nas. I prefer the remix to the original on this song and it is definitely an ode to the original "Make It Last Forever" with Keith Sweat & Jacci McGhee. She and Joe even sing some of the original lyrics of Sweat's "Make It Last Forever". Definitely check it out!
They didn’t sample “Make It lAst Forever.” If they did, they would have to credit Teddy and pay royalties. Those chords played in the beginning are common cords in pop and r&b music at the time. Taylor Dayne’s “Love Will Lead You Back” uses the same cords and one of Lionel Richies songs in the 80s. Mariah and Walter where sued by a group because of the same cord usage on a song called “right before your eyes.” They settled out of court, but technically, Lionel could have sued all of them since his song came out in the 80s.
yup, she wrote it. also it was stuck at #2…behind her version of “I’ll be There,” from this Unplugged. Bittersweet because this song should’ve been a straight up #1!!!
@@sksksksksk7570 that whole time was a disaster for her with the label stuff. stop selling CLG to focus on the album release. release the Unplugged to boost sales of the Emotions album. Unplugged takes off, IBT is all over the place (6th #1!!) and then stop promoting Emotions. No wonder why she was seeking Emancipation! lol
The way she easily slid into the most beautiful whistle at the end ❗️and people still tries to say Mariah was never a good singer live 💯this woman literally have one competition and that was the late Whitney ‼️
Mariah was an anomaly, the best to ever do it. People will always be envious of her unmatched vocal abilities and artistical talent that's why they've always belittled her talent, just to create a competition that doesn't really exist
Fun Fact, one of the two main backup singers you always see when Mariah is at the mic stand is R&b singer Kelly Price along with her sister. They get a solo moment when Mariah performs ‘Someday’ during this unplugged.
Mariah was actually almost 2 years into her career at the time and was not encouraged to tour. So all she did was perform 1 song at each late night or award show all around the world.. This was the first time she had to do a set list of 7 songs.
With the exception of the remake of the Jackson 5 “I’ll be there “ she wrote and arranged the layering of the vocals and helped produce all the other songs she performed on unplugged
Patti Labelle tribute, Mariah sang a medley of "If Only You Knew" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." "If It's Over" 1992 Grammy, or MTV Unplugged version.
Tevin Campbell performs 'can we talk for a minute'. Thank you for encouraging us to share our gifts with the world. Great reaction as usual and thanks again for your reminder. I actually needed that! Big up unuh self enuh.
Yess thank u for acknowledging Mariah's talent and voice. Love love this reaction. Mariah wrote the lyrics with Walter Afanasieff. Please react to Mariah You and I tribute to Stevie Wonder.
WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR REACTIONS! Thanks for sharing your bright light with the world. So happy you two are in love and are on RU-vid. Keep reacting to Mariah and please react to If It’s Over at the Grammys 1992 next! Her entire Madison Square Garden in 1993 is also IMPECCABLE
Mariah wrote the song Can’t Let Go. I feel it was arranged and produced with Walter Afanasieff. He also worked with many other artists in that time like Celin, Kenny G etc. long live Mariah! Our beautiful butterfly!!!!🦋
He also was the one playing the piano in the background. And also The Price Sisters, Trey Lorenz, and the awesome Melanie Daniels!! You all need to check out Melanie Daniels singing He Lives!!! It will take you to church!!!
Loved your reaction. Mariah is a legend. aka “The Songbird Supreme” Who inspired a whole generation of singers. From Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Ariana Grande, Kelly Rowland, Bruno Mars, Pink, Mary J Blige, Brandy, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado, Lady Gaga, Kate Perry, Rihanna, Jessica Simpson, Leona Lewis, Sam Smith, Jojo, Jordin Sparks, Justin Bieber and the list goes on. I mean even the Legendary Stevie Wonder. Who said “When people talk about the great influential singers, they talk about Aretha, Whitney and Mariah”. Not to mention having 19 #1 hits on the Billboard hot 100 (Most by any solo artist in history) and being one of the best selling artist of all-time. She is more than just whistle notes. She creates her music. Writes her songs. She has actually WRITTEN/CO-WRITTEN ALMOST EVERT SONG THAT HAS EVER APPEARED ON HER ALBUMS. And is acknowledged by the World Music Awards, as the biggest-selling recording artist of the Millennium (1990-1999). She was the first ever artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, first ever female artist to collab with an rapper. With her iconic hit “Fantasy” remix ft the legendary ODB (RIP), Thee Queen of Christmas as we all know, Five-time Grammy Award Winner. She’s just broken way too many records. And has always been on a whole another level musically speaking. Could you please react to 10 times Mariah Carey forgot she human? 👑🎙✨❤️
This early live unplugged/accapela Can't Let Go is the very best. Feels more spontaneous & passionate vocals galore including the gorgeous whitsle & classic adlibs
Im fortunate to have this Unplugged Concert on DVD. If i can suggest that Yall watch each song from the Setlist - Emotions ✅ - If It's Over - Someday - Vision of Love - Make It Happen - I'll Be There - Can't Let Go ✅
Yes, she wrote this song with Walter Assanieff who was her collaborator at that time. It was her first single not to reach #1 (peak #2). Jon B was who you were thinking of!
@@jas7117 no worries, i figured. my comment was really for everyone else. i wish the cottons would check the credits before the songs they review. this was great tho. he was really getting into it.
Not only did she write this song, she produced it as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you gonna mention Walter, mention Mariah, her and Walter co-produced so many things Also, she wrote 15 of her number one hits, that a record among female artist.
Looks like you're liking the song. Have you tried reacting to more recent Mariah singing this song? She still got it!! Mariah Carey singing this in 2018 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1tRWMvapdB0.html 2019: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vBJcP03e2wI.html You can choose🥰
Hi beautiful Pamola and handsome Anthony I really love Mariah carey. Can you please do a recation to Mariah Carey's butterfly. Pamola you have a beautiful smile. 💓💓💓💓
Can I make a request for a song? Have you heard of the Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø? She is the national treasure of Norway and has a unbelievable voice. Her voice can also be heard in the 1997 Titanic movie. Could you react to her performing "Carrier of a Secret"?
Can you please react to Loverboy Remix by Mariah Carey, My All Re-mix if you haven't, Are You That Somebody and How Could The One I Gave My Heart To by Aaliyah because I don't see many reaction channels sharing babygirl that much love ❤
