Disco de Mariah Carey: “Anytime You Need a Friend, Pt. 1”

The "Anytime you need a friend" CD single #1 is a great single to have. The title track is a gospel-influenced ballad with a very strong lead vocal and incredible background vocals provided by a gospel choir. Along with the album version of the title track are 2 remixes (also pretty good) and then a wonderfully serene ballad (no over powering vocals on this one) called "Music box".

Even better is the AYNAF Cd single #2-it is filled with 4 remixes of the title track that provide the ultimate soundtrack for work-outs, driving long distances, parties, or even just as background music. I highly recommend both CD singles!!!

I don't have the maxi single but I downloaded the Soul Convection Remix of Anytime You Need a Friend and it is very cool! Mariah has amazing vocals and this is one of her best remixes.

"Anytime you Need A Friend" is perhaps Mariah's most underrated single. Though similar in music/lyrics to the incredible #1 hit "Hero", "Anytime You Need A Friend" takes a little more of spiritual side to it. I always liked this single ever since I was a little 3rd gader when it first came out. This is pure soul right here. I like how it goes from depressing-like verses to a powerful refrain, not to mention her signature upper-octive notes towards the end. It's a shame "Anytime You Need A Friend" didn't go to #1 (but it came close), because it's one of her best singles. Why aren't there any good songwriters like this out on the charts anymore? all we hear now is filth like Nelly and Vanessa Carlton. Definately reccomended to all Mariah/non-Mariah fans. A+ Oh yeah, the title track from her "Music Box" album is incredibly beautiful as well. It's a favorite of one of my friend's and will make you put it on repeat as well. :)

Anytime You Need A Friend was one of my favorites from the Music Box album (the title track is great too, should of been released) and this cd features nice remixes of the song. Added gospel flavor and arrangements that are not on the original. Definately worth the effort to find and the money spent.

All I have to say is this woman is the best singer on the entire Planet... She has inspired me my entire life even as a baby.. I can remember listening to emotions for the first time in my entire life back in 1991 which was when i was born and she hit some notes no other singer can do or even compare to.. She is such a PHANOMAL SINGER! These are amazing songs but my favorite off the album is Anytime you need a friend String apella..Please buy this and see for yourself, Each album she does she gets better and better... I Love you 4ever and always.. Thanks for being my #1 singer and hero in my heart,even past the end of time.CRT FOREVER
