Open up that Bacardi cuz it's Mariah's night. No stress, no fights!
I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Crying 'cause you're playing dirty all over town
You can't do that
I'm not a door mat
You're just a player
That's not my format

Yasss!!!! We need another rapping moment from Mariah! Prisoner is my favorite track from her debut no doubt.
This wasn't part of her demo, she didn't even write it, she recorded it as a favour for her friend Ken Cedar to give to other signed artists, and it ended up being recorded and released by Judy Torres
Let's see what iMpaCt Mariah Carey debut album has
Quote:
R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles said that she began doing vocal "runs" after listening to "Vision of Love" for the first time.[1] Similarly, pop singers Rihanna and Christina Aguilera cited the song and Carey as big influences in her career as a singer. In an interview during the early stages of her career, Aguilera said "I've totally looked up to Mariah since 'Vision of Love' came out."
Quote:
The New Yorker named "Vision of Love" the "Magna Carta of melisma" for it and Carey's influence on pop and R&B singers and American Idol contestants.
Quote:
Rolling Stone said that "the fluttering strings of notes that decorate songs like "Vision of Love," inspired the entire American Idol vocal school, for better or worse, and virtually every other female R&B singer since the nineties."
