This is an infectious tune. It is too bad that it never got to #1 on the Bilboard Hot 100. She supposedly made a hot performance out of this song on MTV's Unplugged, but I've never seen it. Nevertheless, this is one of Mimi's best.

Not only did it miss #1, but she got held back by Color Me Badd.  It did give her a sixth consecutive #1 on CHR/Pop radio though. I love this song. It's one of my favorites on Emotions. It's definitely my favorite of the three singles. It's got this whole sexy vibe. |

Hey, I liked Color Me Badd! LOL.
I remember being upset that this stalled at #2.
I liked it, but it was my least favorite of the singles.

This is hands down one of the best songs she's ever recorded! I love it so much I can't even explain it! The pure emotion in her vocal performance is fantastic, she makes you feel every word!

I've often said that this is one of her best vocal performances ever... I still stand by that.

This is my favorite song by her! "Always Be My Baby" and "I Still Believe" are close behind.

I like it. The beginning sounds just like "Love Will Lead You Back."

I like it. The beginning sounds just like "Love Will Lead You Back." And the chord progressions of the song remind me of "Somethin' In My Heart" by Michel'le. That's sort of weird that the song sounds like several other songs, since "Emotions", the song that came before, sounded like "Best Of My Love" by the Emotions. |

Can't Let Go is clearly one of my favorites next to Vision Of Love. Still in true Mariah form.

I just heard the Unplugged version, and I still have chills down my spine. She starts out thanking the audience for being there to see her. The show was supposed to be over, but Mariah wanted to give the fans a little last minute, spur of the moment treat. All I have to say is I am speechless. The vocals are on point. There is a bananas crescendo towards the end where she belts higher and higher and dives right into the chorus. She eventually does a " cause every night I seeeeeeeeee (falsetto)" that is completely breath-taking. This performance puts all her recent performances to shame; that's how good it is.

In those early days, her voice was unbelievably great. The performance you're talking about is phenomenal

The whole Unplugged session was awesome! Arguably one of the best shows of the entire series.

OMG!! Yes!! I still listen to this song to this day. One of my all time favorite R&B songs from Ms. Mimi. In fact, I have this song on an "old school" R&B mix CD that I made! LOVE IT!!  |

This song is awesome! The intro and vocals are my favorite parts about it.
Doesn't this still get a decent amount of airplay?

^^ i know this song's intro samples another r&b song... i just can't recall which.... r. kelly? tony rich?... aaarggh! brain freeze. all i can remember is that kenny lattimore and chanté more did a cover of it in their album "things that lovers do"... maybe someone else can remember.
anyway... easily one of my favorites from the emotions album.
