Talk:I'll Be There (Jackson 5 song)

message: I'm removing the merge tag because there was already consensus to keep the Mariah Carey song page separate from the Jackson 5 song. Mike H (Talking is hot) 00:12, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I wonder where the writer (one of the writers, i.e., one of the wikipedia contributers) of the I'll Be There Wikipedia entry got this interpretation: "The resulting song was a gentle ballad, in which the narrator asks his ex-lover to give their love another chance."
It seems to me to be a wrong interpretation. Also, deeply rich literary aspects of this song and lyrics are being left aside...

replies: text: I've heard both, extensively, and they are the exact same song (not the same record). The differneces between the records themselves are relatively minor, although no difference in the recordings would be enough to warrant seperate articles of the same song (especially when, as apears to be the case, such a thing is only done for a small group of singers, namely Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Chrisitna Agulera, and Britney Spears. It would hardly make sense to write articles for every major version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", since, if we are to exemplify a neutral point of view, we would have ot do in order to warrant Mariah Carey having her own seperate article. You and anyone else working on pop-star singles articles are the only ones wriitng seperate articles on covers; previously, one article per song was more than enough (and should still be). Notice that all of the examples you gave have been labeled for merger as well. --FuriousFreddy 06:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree they should be merged and that the singles are very similar. I'm interested in the history of the song more than I'm interested in an article about one particular version, but that's a matter of opinion, I guess.   I also find it annoying that this is titled "Mariah Carey song".  "Mariah Carey version" or "Mariah Carey single" would be better, but it's not her song.  Rossrs 13:34, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've performed a "test" merge of the two pages at Talk:I'll Be There (Mariah Carey song)/temp, to see what the resulting article would look like if they were to be merged. Extraordinary Machine 14:25, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I took the test merge and did some revising and formatting, hopefully so that they read better combined. At the very least, if they are not combined, I have cut down a lot of extraneous information in the Mariah Carey article (both here and in the combined version), and the article should be moved to I'll Be There (Mariah Carey cover) or I'll Be There (Mariah Carey version). This should not be a rule, however; it should only be done in the cases of major (read: number one) hits that are notable in their own right (as it stands right now, there are only two such songs that I know of that apply: "Lady Marmalade" and "I Will Always Love You"). --FuriousFreddy 17:35, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There's a piano version of "I'll Be There" by MJ and his kid self. I saw that it was a brief duet. Can we add this? Pokemon Buffy Titan (talk) 03:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
