One night in 1989, I was hanging out with the girl who was the love of my life (though she didn't know it), and she had just put this CD single in the stereo while we were sitting next to each other talking. She used to get bad headaches, and I rubbed her head, and she leaned on me and fell asleep. I couldn't believe she was that close to me, and I was jumping for joy on the inside, but on the outside I stayed put so as not to disturb the moment. The CD was on repeat, and I must have listened to this song like 20 times, as I sat there in the dark, slowly stroking her hair. I wouldn't have traded that moment for anything, because I still believed. We're still friends, and that's all we've ever been, but this song reminds me of how much I wished we had been more.

For those who don't know, Brenda Starr is the person who helped Mariah Carey get her big break. After unsuccessfully trying to get her demo tape to people who could notice her, Brenda who was already famous at the time, took Mariah along to a party attended by big wig music executives. Mariah was lucky enough to get her demo tape into the hands of Sony boss, Tommy Mottola. Tommy listened to the tape in his car and spent 2 weeks trying to find Mariah again. If it wasn't for Brenda Starr, Mariah's career might have taken a different turn and she wouldn't have brought out all those songs including this one to us fans to enjoy.

This song is pure bliss. There was a purity and simplicity to late 80's ballads that has not been duplicated since. Slow dancing to this song made me fall in love again and again...

"I Still Believe" is a song written and composed by Antonina Armato and Giuseppe Cantarelli, and originally recorded by pop singer Brenda K. Starr for her eponymous second studio album, Brenda K. Starr (1987). It is a ballad in which the singer is confident she and her former boyfriend will be together again one day. It was Starr's biggest hit released Feb 1988 in the United States, reaching the top-twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 and being considered her signature song. "I Still Believe" was covered by American singer Mariah Carey, a former backup singer for Starr before she achieved success, for her #1's album in 1999.

when I seen her on American Idol supporting her daughter, I was like omg blast from the past. I use to play the hell out this song back in the day. I hope her daughter makes it through Hollywood week. I think win or lose we will be seeing a lot of her daughter due to the fact Jennifer Lopez know the mother and probably help her daughter.

Mariah Carey was Brenda's back up vocalist. She used to background this song and loved it so much she sang it in her own album. Nothing wrong with that. who cares who sang it better.

Lyrics You look in my eyes And I get emotional inside I know it's crazy But you still can touch my heart And after all this time You'd think that I Wouldn't feel the same But time melts into nothing And nothing's changed I still believe Someday you and me Will find ourselves in love again I had a dream Someday you and me Will find ourselves in love again Each day of my life I'm filled with all the joy I could find You know that I I'm not the desperate type If there's one spark of hope Left in my grasp I'll hold it with both hands It's worth the risk of burning To have a second chance No, no, no, no, no, no I need you baby I still believe that we can be together, no no If we believe that true love never has to end Then we must know that we will love again. I still believe Someday you and me Will find ourselves in love again I had a dream You and me Will find ourselves in love again I still believe Someday you and me Will find ourselves in love again I had a dream Someday you and me Will find ourselves in love again

Mommy D both great but Mariah voice is better. Mariah is soprano singer, she has 5/6 octaves range (and she hit 7 in the 90's) she has 4 notes and her longest Note was 20 seconds. She also has amazing abilities and skills...great vibrato, and great control . she sings very low to very high...She has perfect whistle register and amazing vocal acrobatics...she has great melisma, her runs and riffs are complex and creative even then Whitney...she sings with a lot of emotions too. And she do this with nodules in her vocal cords 28 years of career ( and befor) without rest .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-cYZKbd9Shf9E Plus she's a brilliant songwriter etc...
