Here's the song Weakness of the Body by Mariah Carey, which she sang for Brenda K Starr, in its original key. You can clearly hear that the ENTIRE song is Mariah.

I would also like to note that this song was recorded in 1987 when Mariah was 17. =]

Brenda k starr is singing the primary lyrics and Mariah is singing the back vocals if you listen closely you can hear when Mariah joins in but Brenda does a amazing job singing this song.

It's shocking that she could sing like this at only 17 years old! She really is a prodigy.

So this is really her. I remember hearing this song a few years ago on Youtube but I wasn't sure. I really feel like this was her natural voice. More true to what she could do day to day. The first album was just too much for her. And they compared her to Whitney Houston. Boy was that a *stretch!* Anyway, this is cute. I like it.

With the higher key, it is less obvious than it is Mariah, but here this is clear.

This id definitely Mariah Carey. Just listen carefully to the demo.She would have made a great Freestyle singer in the 80's.

This is a semi-tone lower than the original (the original is in the site of Ken Cedar, the writer of the song). I think that it was Brenda in the first verses followed by Mariah in the subsequent lines.

Well the backing vocals are definitely mariah, that was never disputed. BUT I'm not too sure the chorus is MC… the chest voice sounds too pitchy to be MC "gotta have you here with me toni-y-ite"

A Mariah fan recently stumbled upon a demo track titled "Weakness Of The Body" - written by Ken Cedar and performed by Mariah herself. Ken says, "I was working with a producer at the time who was producing Brenda K. Starr. He knew of Mariah through Brenda and always used Mariah to record his presentation demos for the label because she could do such a good impression of Brenda. When he heard [the song] he thought it would be great for Brenda's project so he got Mariah to sing the demo for me."The song never made it onto Brenda's album, but it did find a place on Judy Torres' 1989 debut album "Love Story". To hear a full-length audio clip of a young Mariah singing "Weakness Of The Body", log on to www.kencedar.com. To hear a clip of the final version, as performed by Judy Torres, check out her official website at www.judytorres.com. Below are the lyrics:
