歌曲鑒賞
凱莉的濃郁唱腔，使得這首歌從壹開始就牽動著聽者的心靈。即使不知道歌詞的人，也可能會因為歌曲淒婉的曲調而扼腕感傷。
凱莉如泣如訴的聲音，讓人從中聽到壹種心靈上的控訴、聽到壹個女子掩藏在堅強外表下的憂愁和委屈，《Because of You》樸實的字裏行間，寫著壹個女子從埋怨、掙紮、到清醒的過程。
因此，這首歌的最大優點，就是歌手所表達出的真實情感，從而使許多同年齡段的青少年們從這首歌中找到***鳴。《Because of You》不僅是情感的表達，更是壹種呼聲，具有積極的社會意義。
就像周傑倫的那首《爸，我回來了》，讓許多人都明白，家庭沖突最大的受害者，往往不是沖突的雙方，而是無辜的孩子。
