A very feel good soul moving church reaction 🙌🏾⛪🙌🏾! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Mariah Carey before: Dreamlover, I'll Be There- MTV Unplugged, Vision Of Love, One Sweet Day, Vision Of Love- Live (1991 Grammy's), Vision Of Love- Live (Apollo), I Don't Wanna Cry, I Don't Wanna Cry- Live, My All, Oh Santa, We Belong Together / Fly Like A Bird- Live, I Wanna Know What Love Is, Fantasy (Remix), Hero- Live, Love Takes Time, Emotions- Live, It's Over- Live, Honey (Remix), Breakdown, Endless Love, Heartbreaker (Remix), Heartbreaker (Remix)- Live, All I Want For Christmas Is You, It's Like That- Live, Always Be My Baby (Remix), We Belong Together and Loverboy (Rap Version). Make It Happen was the third single released from Mariah Carey's 1991 album: Emotions. It was written and produced by Mariah Carey, David Cole and Robert Clivillés. Background vocals are by Mariah Carey, Trey Lorenz and Patrique McMillan. The song reached #3 on the Cash Box 100, #5 on the Hot 100, #7 on the R&B chart, #11 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #16 on the Dance chart. The music video was directed by Marcus Nispel and featured actress Alisa Reyes (All That, The Proud Family) as one of the kids. "The music video tried to incorporate and further the song's image of religious belief and racial equality. The audience, as they filled into the dusty and deserted building, was made up of the widest cross section possible: old and young (with a strong emphasis on the children), abled and disabled, all races and color". Yes, this song has a very feel good soul moving church like vibe ⛪! Mariah Carey performed the on her 1992 MTV Unplugged special. "Make It Happen" was awarded a BMI Pop Award in 1992. In the song's first verse, Mariah Carey recalls not having proper shoes or enough to eat. During her struggle to make a name for herself in New York City, the aspiring star had so little money, she'd have to choose between buying breakfast or a subway token most mornings. Walking was difficult because she only owned one pair of shoes: hand-me-down boots from her mother that were too small for the singer's feet. She wore them until they fell apart. After she became a star, she and her fiancé, Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola, built a mansion in upstate New York and Mariah Carey designed a Coco Chanel-inspired closet for the master bedroom; it housed a spiral staircase that led to a massive shoe collection. In her memoir: The Meaning Of Mariah Carey, she said she nearly had her ragged old boots bronzed so she'd never forget where she came from. In a 1995 interview with the UK magazine Blues & Soul, Mariah Carey recalled the unforgettable recording session. "I'll always remember recording it", she said. "It was four in the morning at the studio and I was messing around at it and David was actually asleep at the board. We used to work non-stop. Then when I came up with the part that goes [singing] 'If you believe in your soul', David woke up and put his hand in the air and just said 'Yes!'". Songwriter Kevin McCord brought legal action against Mariah Carey, David Cole, and Robert Clivillés, claiming the song: "Make It Happen", copied the 1981 song he wrote for Alicia Myers: "I Want To Thank You." Kevin McCord eventually accepted a settlement offer of around $500,000. Critical Reception 🗣: Steve Morse of The Boston Globe wrote: "[Its] positive message also soars through a gospel rearrangement. After hearing it, we understand why [Carey named] gospel star Shirley Caesar ... such a strong influence". In a different review of the album, Steve Morse called "Make It Happen" "glorious" and described it as "a clear slice of spiritual autobiography". Larry Flick from Billboard stated that here, Mariah Carey "tones down the vocal acrobatics slightly and delivers her most appealing and affecting single to date". He added, "Infectious Pop/House musical context is slick enough to keep radio fires burning, but tough enough to further develop her club profile. Spiritually uplifting lyrics are a bonus". Cashbox commented, "The overall sound of the single is quite different from her previous fast-paced cuts and should pick up with little or no promotion". Pan-European magazine Music & Media noted, "Dryly thumping beats, trebly rhythm guitar and dabs of synthesized violins make for a song with Chic-like feel. With its '70s dance influenced production aiming for the feet instead of the emotions, Carey stands a fair chance of having an uptempo Dance/EHR hit on her hands". Rob Tannenbaum from Rolling Stone described the track as "a teary tale of how she kept her religious faith despite hard times", while complimenting its "overheated [vocal] growling".

She left Columbia Records in 2001 after eleven consecutive years of US number-one singles and signed a $100 million record deal with Virgin Records. Following Mariah Carey's highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown and the failure of the film Glitter (2001) and its soundtrack, Virgin bought out her contract and she signed with Island Records the following year.

Fun Fact 🕵🏽♀: On July 31, 2020, along with the celebration of the 30th-anniversary of Mariah Carey's debut studio album: Mariah Carey (1990), as well as Mariah Carey celebrating 30 years in the music industry, she released the song as a six-track extended play album titled: Make It Happen EP, which contains some remixes from the American CD maxi-single, as well as live renditions, including her concert performances at "Fantasy: Mariah Carey" at Madison Square Garden in 1995 and "VH1 Divas Live" in 1998.
Why on earth did you feel the need to copy and paste all that????😳🙄
Some reactions to consider🤔: The Undisputed Truth- Smiling Faces Sometimes (1hit1ders YT channel), The Sylvers- Hot Line (Warmer Music Videos YT channel), Journey- Don't Stop Believin' (Live 1981 Escape Tour).
💯👍
Not one of her popular songs played back then but a nice song
It actually was popular because it made it to #5 on the hot 100
