So, I love to listen to remixes by Mariah, Toni, Whitney, Janet and others while I work out. But, I just noticed that there are many remixes by Mariah that I love much better than original songs. And sometimes I only like the remix not the original song.
So, do you have a remix by MC that U like better than original?

I will start with
1. Heartbreaker / If you should ever be lonely I just do not like the original version. Almost never listen to it, but this remix is fire!!!
2. Thank God I found you (Make it last remix) Almost never listen to original but this remix is sooooo good.
3. Touch my body (Seamus Haji) & Paul Emanuel remix Here, I learned to appreciate the original, but I love this remix 10 times more.
4. I still believe (Pure imagination) Again, not a bad original song, but this remix is more to my liking.
5. My all / Stay awhile (So so def remix) This remix is another lever great. I just do not like the original version. I liked it when I was younger, but I never play it or skip it when it comes.

The dance mix of “Anytime You Need A Friend” I prefer over the original. Also “Thank God I Found You and Hate U” remixes.

At this point I prefer the "Dreamlover" Def Club mix to the original.
I probably listen to "My All/Stay Awhile" and "Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely" more than the originals, but I still love the original versions.
The "AYNAF" C&C Club remix is truly incredible, but the original song is great too so again it's hard to say that I prefer the remix.

Yes, C+C remixes of Anytime you need a friend are really really great. But original is great too. So...

My favorite version of Fantasy is the one with both Mariah's chorus and the Genius of Love chorus (+ODB). I can have my cake and eat it too!
I echo a lot of the other sentiments in this thread, but I will add I enjoy the Original Firecracker Version and the Club of Love remix of "Loverboy" over the Candy versions.

I should listen to Loverboy remixes. As i do not like the original, never thought about looking 4 remixes. But will do it with my next work out

Portrait - hopeful child remix Yes! I'll throw in that these are at least as good as the original songs, if not better: - "Can't Take That Away (Morales mix)
- "Say Somethin' (Stereo Anthem Mix)"
- "Somewhat Loved (Eric Kupper Vocal Mix)"

Somewhat loved?! I don't even know the original. Is it on Caution? No, it's on the Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis album. Mariah initially wrote it with The-Dream (presumably for MIAM as she said Roc and Roe were babies when she first wrote it) and then gave it to Jam/Lewis to produce for their album. It went top 10 at Adult R&B. It's ok, but the Eric Kupper remix makes it into a roller rink jam. Original: Remix:

Yes, C+C remixes of Anytime you need a friend are really really great. But original is great too. So... Her best song and her best remix. It’s not up for debate 🤷🏻♂️

What songs did Mariah do remixes for that included new vocals? She basically had a whole separate career with those. Off the dome, so please add if I missed any: - "Emotions" (intro to remix - was that recorded for the remix?)
- "Dreamlover"
- "Anytime You Need A Friend"
- "Joy to the World"
- "Fantasy"
- "One Sweet Day"
- "Always Be My Baby"
- "Underneath the Stars"
- "Honey"
- "Butterfly"
- "My All"
- "I Still Believe"
- "Heartbreaker"
- "Thank God I Found You"
- "Can't Take That Away"
- "Loverboy"
- "Through the Rain"
- "The One"
- "It's Like That
- "We Belong Together"
- "Don't Forget About Us
- "Say Somethin'"
- "HATEU"
- "Portrait"
- "Rainbows End"
Of course many of them had new vocals for both dance remixes and R&B remixes.

Of course many of them had new vocals for both dance remixes and R&B remixes. Loverboy & ILT (Morales) + DFAU (Desert Storm) and I believe that's everything! Oh and UTS (Trackmasters)

I didn't remember that the "ILT" remix had new vocals as I remembered it just being her original vocal sped up lol. Was it just a few new parts, or did she redo the whole thing? I need to listen again. Thanks!
