if you are a Mariah collector or long time fan. I did and I am really MAD. The listing makes it look like this is the actual SINGLE that Mariah released. It is not. It is a re-release of some of her best songs under the title: Platinum Hits with just a picture of the album cover. Not the original single at all! Just a re-release by Sony of songs they still own the rights to in an effort to sqeeze more money out of Mariah's fans without offering anything new, or anything collectible.

And Amazon's this listing does not show a picture, nor does it indicate that this is NOT the single, nor that it is a re-release. What a waste of my shipping cost!

Although a cover, this song was made worldwide famous by Mariah's version as well. While most covers don't live up to par of the original, it's not the case with Mariah. She can only make the song better, thanks to her unique vocal skills.
And that's just what happened with I'll Be There. Mariah decided to cover the song for her Unplugged performance back in 1992 2 days before the show aired. When Mariah's album, Unplugged, was released Her cover for Ill Be There popped up from nowhere to the airwaves until it finally hit the top spot on the airplay chart where it remained for an astonishing 8 weeks(!)
This only explains how Mariah's excellent version of the song is.

I have no love for Sony and Columbia records but i have to say i do love thier choise to re-release 3 Classic Singles from Mariah's past (i'll be there,one sweet day and Emotions)! I'll be there is one of Mariah's best known and classic singles. This single is a Must Buy for Fans and non-fans as well!
*Also added to this single another classic song from Mariah... 'So Blessed ' one of Mariah's sweetest Love songs;)
Like i said this single is a MUST BUY!!!
