Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way

Won't you talk to me
This is so out of hand
Something's gone wrong
With the life we than planned
Won't you look at me
You're avoiding my gaze
And it seems like you've changed
In so many ways

Lord only knows
Why I love you so
You're a heartless man
I don't understand
Why you gotta be
Why you need to be

專輯文案
90年初一顆閃耀的新星誕生，那就是以處女作 "Vision of love" 走紅於歌壇的 Mariah Carey，這位被喻為 Aretha Franklin 、Whitney Houston 接班人的後起之秀，挾2座葛萊美獎(最佳流行歌曲演唱、最佳新進藝人)和首張專輯6白金的餘威，於'91年推出第二張專輯 "Emotions" ，再度展現其渾厚的嗓音及餘音繞樑的演唱技巧。
Mariah 在專輯中包辦了所有的詞曲創作，並與首張專輯的製作人 Walter Afanasieff 及 C+C音樂工廠的 David Cole合作。首支單曲 "Emotions" 以戀愛中的女人對感情的執著為題材，成為 Mariah 第 5 首冠軍單曲；Top 2 抒情曲 "Can't Let Go" 充分流露 Mariah 豐富的情感；"If It's Over" 是她與老牌民謠女歌手 Carole King 合作的曲子，在歌曲的詮釋方面，Mariah 時而低吟委婉、時而嘶吼吶喊、是一首上乘之座；Top 5 的 "Make It Happen" 在輕快舞曲節奏下，亦有堅強的意志力與自我的期許！

Lying beside you
This joy is so deep
I reach out and touch you
Tenderly
Looking inside you
My world is complete
I struggled to find you
Now I'm free
Precious love
Burning so deeply
Shining completely
For you

Something that you do
Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me
I'm in heaven baby

Close to me
Oh I need you close to me
Loving me
Close to you
How can I get close to you
Help me to
Why can't you see
I would give the world away
To have you by my side
I'm so in need
Each and every night I pray
You'll come and save my life
I would love you till the end
Of time

The wind has taken you
You're free finally at peace
So still you lie
Leaving your cares behind
The pain is gone
Gone with the spirit in your eyes
Now you're wandering around
Above us
Looking downward
As we cry

專輯文案
如迅雷一般，新進女歌手 Mariah Carey 以一曲"Vision of Love"在美國流行歌壇引起一陣震撼，他那寬廣渾厚的嗓音，帶有濃厚 R&B 韻味的樂風，立即深深吸引電台媒體與樂迷，Mariah Carey 也同時準備好在歌壇上一展鴻圖。
許多樂評家針對 Mariah 的樂風及嗓音大作文章，並稱之為 Whitney Houston 第二，其實這是十分愚蠢與膚淺的!因這純粹是表面上所能看到及感覺到的，若從更深層面來探討之，當可發現兩者之間存有莫大的差距，這位現今20歲，出生成長於紐約的女歌星 Mariah 實有其特殊且吸引人的條件，她的首張專輯 "Mariah Carey" 便是最佳明證!
本專輯中 "Vision of Love"、"I Don't Wanna Cry"這類帶有 R&B 風味的佳作俯拾即是，"There's Got To Be A Way"這類具有高超演唱技巧的歌曲令人倍覺興奮與珍惜，很難想像以她這般年齡竟能有此高深的演唱功力。"Mariah Carey" 是您不能忽視的佳作，更是您必須全神投入欣賞的藝術之作。

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
