At first I thought it was really weak, but then when it was released, it grew on my insanely and become one of my favorite tracks from her. I guess what made me like more the song was the video. It was very well done, the shots are beautiful. Oh, and the Pure Imagination remix is amazing too. I'd like to have that, can anyone send it to me please?

I hated the video 4 this song. sure it was all nice, mariah looked pretty and that...but how did it connect with the song??? Videos don't always connect with the songs. In fact, back when I used to watch MTV, it seemed that most videos had nothing to do with the subject matter of the songs. Whether or not that's changed by now I have no idea, since I don't watch videos (since the video channels only show two or three per hour)

The video was just a play on an old Marilyn Monroe performance.

it's the worst single ever of mariah's career, and the voice is so poor on this track! there are parts where she sings like she is overtired! this is not the mariah i like!!!

The Morales remix is a masterpiece. I prefer it to the original.

I actually like the Kings Mix to this song, I like all of the remixes to this song, but the Kings Mix really connected with me for some reason.

Yep - the Kings Mix is outstanding. It's almost like techno, and Mariah basically just ad-libs over what Morales was doing. I love when she ad-libs, and her vocals on that remix are great.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about the Mexico video... I have a nasty habit of calling that the Pure Imagination video... my bad!

This is alright. Yeah Brenda's version is better, but the remixes of this track are fire! I LOVE the Pure Imagination remix (aka Willy Wonka remix), the David Morales remix, and the Stevie J remix.

It's just decent. Not one of my favorites from her and it doesn't compare to the original.

The remixes proved she was the QUEEN of remixes.
This song is truly, haunting. I get goosebumps whenever it comes on.

I think it's good but not great. It did grow on me.
I don't see how Mariah's voice was damaged on the song though.

Wasn't really a fan of Mariah's take, but I like the Brenda K. Starr version.

It's good, but I easily prefer the Brenda K. Starr version of it more so.

I love Mariah's vocal better than Brenda's, but I prefer the production to the original. The Stevie J. production on Mariah's version sounds dry (same goes for her version of "Do You Know Where You Going To" IMO).
