Ka tipu haere a Carey i te taha o tona papa, a, ka mutu te kite i a ia i muri mai. I te wha o ona tau, ka mahara a Carey kua tiimata tana tuku i te reo irirangi ki raro i ona kopare i te po, me te waiata noa me te tarai ki te kimi i te rangimarie i roto i te puoro. I a ia e kura tuatahi ana, he tino pai ia i roto i nga kaupapa i pai ai ia, penei i te puoro, te toi, me te tuhinga, engari kaore i kitea e ia te hiahia ki etahi atu. I muri i nga tau maha o te raru o te moni, ka nui te moni i whiwhi a Patricia kia neke ai tona whanau ki tetahi waahanga pumau, whai rawa atu hoki i New York. I tiimata a Carey ki te tuhi i nga waiata me te taapiri i nga puoro ki a raatau, na reira ka tiimata hei kaiwaiata-kaiwaiata i a ia e haere ana ki te Kura Tuarua o Harborfields i Greenlawn, New York, i puta ia i te 1987. I tino pai a Carey i tana puoro, a i whakaatuhia e ia te whakamahinga o te rēhita whiti, ahakoa i tiimata noa ia ki te whakahaere me te whakahaere i a ia na roto i tana whakangungu me tana whaea. Ahakoa i whakauruhia e Patricia tana tamahine ki te opera tawhito, kaore ia i akiaki i a ia kia whai mahi i roto i a ia, na te mea kaore ia i pai. I maumahara a Carey i huna e ia tana mahi kaiwaiata-kaiwaiata me te kii ko Patricia "kaore i te whaea tutu. Kāore a ia i mea, 'Homai he āhuatanga opera ake.' Ka whakahonoretia e au te opera, engari kaore i pa ki ahau. "I te kura tuarua, ka tiimata a Carey ki te tuhi waiata me Gavin Christopher. I hiahia rātau ki tētahi kaiawhina e taea ana te whakatangi i te papapātuhi: "I karanga mātou ki tētahi tangata, ā, kāore i taea e ia te haere mai, nō reira i tupono mai mātou ki a Ben [Margulies]. I tae mai a Ben ki te whare whakaari, ā, kāore i tino pai tana whakatangi i ngā papapātuhi - he kaitākaro tāpiripiri ia - engari i muri i taua rā, i noho whakapā tonu mātou, ā, i rite tahi mātou hei kaituhi". I tiimata a Carey me Christopher ki te tuhi me te tuhi waiata i te papa o te toa a tona papa i te tau whakamutunga o Carey. Whai muri i te whakatakoto i ta raua waiata tuatahi, "Here We Go 'Round Again", i whakaahuatia e Carey he momo Motown, ka haere tonu...  Pātai: Ko wai i whakamōhiotia ki a Carey i muri i te kore o te hokohoko i tana rīpene demo?
