Leaving the spotlight for a while (114,336)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Don't forget their first one together, Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme). The song's lack of an independent release was the last straw for MC and her disgust for the label. There are a lot of other things that they did back then like blocking a network Rainbow Tour special on network TV. I am sure Sony Legacy is going to release a barrage of vaulted live performances probably in the next 10 years.

Messy message, no real topic (114,335)
by TJ from Norway
| |
|
|
When I first read about the Christmas shows in the UK, I was excited like: "Manchester, here I come", but after a couple of minutes I got to think about her Christmas concert in Norway some years ago, and it is probably the same show this time as well. I had an all American joyful Christmas party experience back in 2018 and now it's time to let some other enjoy it. I've found my inner peace and realized that I just have to enjoy what have been, and be thankful for all that she did for me and the rest of the fans trough the 90's and so many years after her first album. The Beatles are still releasing old records with a lot of bonus materials, and that seems to be Mariah's plan as well, and I love it. She could have made the Daydream bonus disc more interesting (and added the concert), but it was nice to listen to the live songs.
The plan for tomorrow is to listen to Madonna's latest album. I used to love her music, and she has written so many good songs. Strong lyrics. I think I got to go back to work soon. This vacation have made my brain soft. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

It is a very sad song. It's not a classical Mariah ballad, but somehow it has such a dark undertone. I still wonder who's the song about. First part about the children, then about her mother and herself? Can a native speaker please explain what she means with the song? Then the last part with the gospel style the song changes again. The song seems the most personal from the album with NII.

Sorry, I didn't catch it. I am genuinely concerned about MC. I have been listening to her song Here For It All since I made it to Nashville. It hits differently now that I can really tell MC is at a crossroads with her career because she can't perform like she used to. Here For It All is definitely speaking to everything that I have been through in my life. I know MC wrote it because her life has not been easy since Caution was released. It is a very sad song.

Edward, I checked with Chap GPT. Of the last 5 movie songs Diane Warren has written, Gonna Be You, The Journey, and Free Woman involved co-writers or featured separate writers. These days her songs for an artist's album are written with the artist. MC has shown in the past that she likes to collaborate with 3-4 songwriters. A Diane Warren collaboration may happen.

Massive Christmas shows (114,331)
by Todd from Melbourne, Australia
| |
|
|
I'm torn here. On one hand, I would kill to see a MC Christmas show (she sang AIWFCIY in Melbourne last year and I lost my mind). But on the other hand, I really worry about a massive London show. The UK press treats her like Meghan Markle, and a 90 minute Christmas show whereby Mariah is cemented to the stage with little to no emotion and/or spirit in her eyes will likely destroy whatever legacy she has left in the UK.

Live debut raw footage (114,330)
by Lainsky from Philippines
| |
|
|
To those who have not seen this video, here it is. It is a little bit different from the edited version of The First Vision.
For some reason, I enjoy the music videos of Mariah's singles from her debut album more than listening to the audio only. I mean, I'm so into the 90s, the best decade for pop and R&B music.

It was all for fun according to Diane Warren in this video in 2019. Diane Warren did post on X in 2015 of a "That crazy song." So, there is an unreleased song in MC's vault.

The Celebration of Mimi (114,324)
by T from USA
| |
|
|
The 20th anniversary of Mimi came after her mom and sister died. I keep hearing that her problems with her movement right now are a result of the depression from this tragic loss. My only issue with that theory is then why did she call the Mimi anniversary a "celebration" why not just do what she's doing for Music Box and Daydream and just call it Mimi20? More low key. Instead she went full celebration which goes against this idea that she is in some kind of deep depression.

Mariah's team (114,326)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
As I have said many times on this messageboard, Mariah's team sucks so much. I would never have a team of leeches in my circle. They do absolutely nothing for her just collect a paycheck. At this point if Mariah can't see it, she never will and it's sad.

Madonna reached number 1 (114,325)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
I agree 100%. Madonna's album was nothing but AL slop even the talking is cringe to listen to. I don't wanna sound sexist but some people don't know when to retire and hang it up. Madonna doesn't even have the voice she had anymore and she should have stopped after Hard Candy, her last good album in my opinion. As for HFIA it would definitely be more enjoyable if Mariah's voice sounded better.

I don't think the album is as good as HFIA tbh, I've listened to it once and wasn't impressed at all, very much the same sound throughout. I'll give it another go though. The only problem with HFIA was the vocals, otherwise it would have been red hot.

by Edward from USA

Diane Warren's strategy of writing a complete song, including the demo, before pitching it is genius, and I don't blame her one bit for keeping most of the coins. She doesn't want to split writing credits with 20 different people or give someone a percentage just because they changed one chord or added a tiny tweak.
You could really see the difference back in the '90s. Most of Mariah's songs had no more than two or three writers, and as those writing credits kept getting longer over the years, you could definitely hear a decline in the songwriting quality.

Article: Mariah fans are convinced UK Christmas tour is on the way (114,321)
by Lee from UK
| |
|
|
After attending the show at Sandringham last year, I think I'm giving this a miss. Unfortuantely there is not enough live singing anymore to justify the cost of the tickets. I am refusing to pay in excess of £300 to listen to playback. Let's hope Mariah losens up by December otherwise they may as well just put a carboard cut out of her on the stage and hit play on the CD player.

I believe MC won't leave the spotlight until two or more of the following happens:
1. successful album singles that are radio hits and land in the Hot 100 top 10
2. one more multi-platinum selling album
3. several Grammy wins
4. inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
5. one more critically acclaim cover similar to Without You
6. one more successful duet collaboration similar to One Sweet Day
7. finally completes her biographical project with Lee Daniels
8. a duet with Kelly Clarkson written with Diane Warren that is long overdue

The "team" could find a job by another artist. But I know what you mean. MC should not stay and work for the staff. Just care for herself and children and take some time only for herself. A year is a good thing. Then she could come back with new ideas and energy. She's not twenty anymore, it's okay to "load up the batteries". She has worked enough like for 3-4 lives. She's not 70, but should have some free time and time to relax and live healthier. But she must want it for herself.

Dont worry. She won't leave the spotlight because if it happens then her team would lose their paycheck. All the "yes ma'am" people in her team would make sure she works until her last breath. They rely on her for a salary and every now and then they would say "that was so good" to her "lack of effort, no blinking eyes, looking to the monitor" performance. Reference: Underneath The Stars latest live video.
