美國拉丁流行歌手［布蘭達．史塔爾］＆歌壇天后［瑪麗亞凱莉］的交集──［I Still Believe／我仍相信］

You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know its crazy
But you still can touch my heart

And after all this time
Youd think that I, I wouldnt feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothings changed

I still believe someday
You and me will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream someday
You and me will find ourselves in love again

Each day of my life Im filled
With all the joy I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type
If theres one spark of hope left

In my grasp I hold it with both hands
Its worth the risk of learning
To have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, no, I need you baby

I still believe that we can be together
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again

１９６６年出生於紐約的布蘭達．史塔爾（Brenda K.Starr）是美國歌手

以Latin freestyle流行樂成名  不過近年以騷沙（Salsa）音樂為主

布蘭達父親是美國猶太人　母親則是波多黎各天主教徒

１９８４年　她演出首部電影

１９８５年與Mirage唱片公司簽下合約　秋天出道　以Latin freestyle舞曲在舞廳嶄露頭角

１９８７年　布蘭達推出第二張同名專輯

１９８８年２月　發行第二首單曲［I Still Believe／我仍相信］

史塔爾以她醇厚的R&B中音詮釋這首流行抒情曲

［I Still Believe］登上流行榜＃１３　成人抒情榜＃１４ 

其西班牙語版則拿到拉丁榜＃１０

１９９８年　布蘭達灌錄一個騷沙版　登上告示熱帶歌曲榜＃２０

當時還是少女的未來美國歌壇天后瑪麗亞凱莉（Mariah Carey）是［I Still Believe］原版的合音

後來她跟史塔爾成為好友

１９８８年底　布蘭達跟１9歲的瑪麗亞前往參加一項盛會

讓後者得以將自己的試唱帶交給新力／哥倫比亞唱片公司總裁Tommy Mottola

後者聽了兩首歌曲後　決定簽下凱莉　開啟其音樂之路

１９９８年　瑪麗亞發行首張精選輯［#1’s］

便翻唱［I Still Believe］　做為感謝布蘭達提攜她的致意

這是布蘭達．史塔爾事業最成功的歌曲
