I first heard Robert Palmer’s version. Didn’t realize it was a cover and checked out Cherelle’s. Definitely the best. But still love how smooth Robert Palmer’s is.

[@swacfan100]

I agree. Though I knew his was a cover because I remember he's 1st, his version is smoother. Crazy thing is, when his 1st came out, I didn't think much of it. Til one day I listened to it in detail, so smooth. But that was his style.

[@robynsegg]

The young man in the gorilla costume is hitting on her HARD as she let him know he ain't the one. At the end he "cutting up" with breakdance and poplock moves. ‐ *HILLARIOUS* Paul Newman is 2nd to her version God bless (read Bible fam)

I really forgot how well Robert Palmer did this song! Thanks for sharing! That said, this is Cherelle's song! And I have always absolutely loved her voice. Mariah was decent. I liked it, but you could tell that her voice was dropped on top of the music. She didn't get the timing quite right. Where as Robert Palmer flipped it to something new.

@@Soul_Education right that might be one of the best sounds ever along with the Philly and Stax sounds

[@mariomiguelito5579]

Jam/Lewis produced Mariah's version as well. They co-wrote and produced a lot of material on her "Glitter" album, since it's an 80's themed album as well as other projects Mariah has done throughout the years.

[@adamwhite6452]

The fact that there's a three-way battle for the same song. Shows that the true star it's not the vocalist it's Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis Robert's version which is the farthest from the original keeps that Melody which is undeniable leaves me thinking that anyone who can keep time and carry a tune can have a moderate hit with this song. That being said vocal performance undeniably Mariah Carey even though she added some amazing bells and whistles her lead vocal was a complete mimic of the original Cherrell. Honestly I think Cherrell version allows the track to be the star and she supported it very well. And Mariah case the combination standout voice standout track equal overproduction unnecessary vocal runs missing the mark for that cohesive sound
