5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best songs ever written. PERIOD., February 28, 2003

By	Eric Smith (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I find it amusing that most people state they don't like Mariah Carey, but like her song 'Hero." What is it people don't like, her image? Her singing style? I believe it was this hit single "Hero" which captured people's attention and held the lyrics a place in their hearts. These lyrics which Mariah wrote herself (yes, she does write her own songs) are incredible. There just isn't enough talent out nowadays to surpass this incredible single. It also became more popular last year because of 9/11/2001 (eat ur heart out enrique!)... I reccomend this single to anyone who is a fan of TRUE music, because "Hero" is meaningful enough to please even the most casual of Mariah Carey listeners. Believe me, 'Hero" is one of the 10 best songs ever written and will go down in history. Her vocal quality is at her best and she doesn't overuse her voice in this one like on some other songs (IE: Emotions). This single recieves an A+ for me and is for all Mariah and non Mariah fans alike!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great single!, May 1, 1999

By A Customer

Not only does this have the great single, "Hero," but a live version of the song, and one of Mariah's best songs ever, "Everything Fades Away" and it's only available on this single. I promise you, the song is amazing! If this wasn't enough, there's also the best remix of "Dreamlover" on here too. All of the ones on the maxi single are boring, but the Club Joint Mix rules. BUY THIS WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE!

4.0 out of 5 stars Its great., August 10, 2002

By	"jlbruzer" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

1. The LP version of hero, its a very good and inspirational song.
2. A live version of hero, I like it better than the original, she sings it just enough to make it sound different, still great.
3. Everything Fades Away, GREAT track. I suggest you buy it for this song, its the only place you can get it.
4. Dreamlover (club joint Mix) Its the best remix of this song that she has. She re-recorded it to a faster beat. Great track, this CD is highly recommended.
