The ballad "I don't wanna cry" - reminiscent in both rhythm and arrangement of George Michael's "Careless Whispers" - opened with and attractive acoustic guitar line and then featured the powerful lower end of Mariah's range, one which had exactly the right dramatic power for such an emotional song, with its clever pause beat as emphasis before the last chorus. Equally soothing and draining, it served notice of the timeless quality of 's voice. "I don't wanna cry" was in the USA the fourth and final single off Mariah's debut album. It debuted at number 50 and, within two weeks, hit number one.
 
In the year 2005 a book will be published by mcarchives.com, with everything Mariah has ever released, as far as possible. But for this they need your help. If you have a release of I Don't Wanna Cry not listed below, or with a different cover, or from a different country, please let them know. Because they want to make the book a reliable work of reference, you need to send a scan of the front- and back-cover of your item (because the book will be printed, the scans need to be at least 400 x 400 pixels). In return you will be mentioned in the book. You can sent the info (format, country, catalogue number, tracklisting, front-cover, back-cover and, if possible, any additional information) to deridder@sitewise.nl.
