This is Mariah’s most underrated song
Someone tell the label that they are promoting Crybaby 20 years too late!!! To be fair, a really underrated song. Mariah and Snoop flow so well here.
What i love about this song: - The unmistakable 90s R&B feel - Snoop's feature - I CAN SO RELATE TO THE BREAK UP AND INSOMNIA!!! - The "whee" sound during the chorus - The sweet as cake and velvety harmonies - The ending tantrum - That I'm out of breath trying to follow along 😂 - The fact that the song ends with "Baby and I"
When she said “So it’s 5am and I still can’t sleep. Took some medicine but it’s not working”, I felt that.
When she said “I need to get me some sleeeeeep” I felt that
When Mariah's music slaps, she wrote and produced it. Ain't nobody winning against her in a Verzuz
Man after reading her book, you gotta go through her whole catalog AGAIN . THESE SONGS HIT DIFFERENT
people associate Mariah with her impeccable vocal abilities. but can we appreciate Mariah as the songwriter AND producer? I mean those vocal harmonies/background vocals were amazing and it gave this feeling that fit so well into the track. she's simply THAT artist! the Songbird Supreme
She’s crying out the lyrics. My soul is crying along with her relating to every word.
Again? Ok, I'll watch it again, no problem
This was actually her despair about the short lived relationship with Derek??? Damn that man inspired two full albums
Who feels like this was ahead of its time?
Mariah is vocally the most creative singer that ever lived.
It's amazing how her R&B songs feels so up to date, timeless. A true musical genius.
3:25 is another reason this woman is a GENIUS. Not only is she talking about crying throughout the song (that she wrote), she sings this part with so much attitude, exactly like a crybaby's tantrum. WHO ELSE?
My time with Derek was a sweet and short dream, yet its impact lingered. I thought about it from time to time for years after. Once, I was feeling intensely melancholy while recalling our short love affair to a friend. In my best Joan Crawford voice, I lamented, “The mother lovedme! The sister loved me! The father loved me! It could have been perfect!” There was so much energy surging through my body that the champagne glass I was holding completely shattered. I took that intensity and put it in “Crybaby.”
The way she sings this song and layers her vocals to the point that it sounds overwhelming presents the imagery of feeling hysteric. It matched the lyrics of the song sooo well. Amazing 👏
Her ability to add other artists from different genres is what makes her so unique & it quickly becomes a crossover song.
JESUS I can NOT sing this song, cause even when the register is pretty low...the fact that somehow is sounds like she is doing entire verses in ONE breath lol I cannot...she is not human lol
The classic 90s instrumental is really giving me life! I can't believe I'm only just accidentally discovering this Mariah classic now smh.
