ReImagined At Home: Watch George Perris Perform A Gossamer Version Of Mariah Carey’s 1997 Classic “Butterfly”

Part of the fun of ReImagined At Home is learning which songs still have legs all these years later. 

Within this GRAMMY.com performance series, artists perform GRAMMY-centric songs from yesteryear — from Train's "Drops of Jupiter" to Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." 

Now, we have Greek/French singer/songwriter George Perris up to bat. Does Mariah Carey's "Butterfly," released all the way back in 1997, still hold up? The answer is a resounding yes — which says a lot about both Perris' interpretive talent and the strength of the original.

In this episode of ReImagined At Home, watch Perris navigate the emotional terrain of Carey's classic with poise . Backed by a sympathetic band, Perris sings Carey's words tenderly.

"Spread your wings and prepare to fly/ For you have become a butterfly," he croons. "Fly abandonedly into the sun/ If you should return to me/ We truly were meant to be." Back in 1997, "Butterfly" earned Carey a nomination for a GRAMMY for Best Female Pop Performance.
