When Mariah Carey released a cover of Phil Collins’ hit song ‘Against All Odds’ in 2000, fans adored her powerful version of the moving ballad. Critics praised it for its loyalty to the original, as Mariah kept the simplicity and delicacy of Phil Collins’ version. While the versions remained similar, the two artists never joined forces in order to duet on the song. That was until a Mariah Carey fan on YouTube decided to make it happen in a creative project that Music Man fans will love.
The channel Songbird Supreme on YouTube decided to make their duet dreams come true through the power of technology by editing together two live performances of Mariah Carey and Phil Collins singing the song. This time showcasing her iconic vocal runs, Mariah’s performance blended with Phil’s to take the song to a whole new level. Fans adored the edit as the video received 8.1M views and prompted fans to leave comments like “I never thought those voices would blend so well. I’m crying!”
While their edited version of ‘Against All Odds’ is certainly the most popular video on their channel, Songbird Supreme has continued to show their love for Mariah Carey by posting videos celebrating her impressive vocals, as well as even more edited videos of Mariah performing cover songs with their original artists. One of the most popular is a video of Mariah performing her version of ‘Without You,’ edited into a duet with Air Supply.
