In Your Feelings and "stuff" (112,925)
by Haiji from United States
| |
|
|
I get what you're saying but tbh that wouldn't make any sense. The line is "Sweet tender love, you said you promise, now I feel stupid and stuff", that other 4 letter word wouldn't rhyme nor really fit. Not unless she's saying "stupid and stuck", which still wouldn't be explicit. I'm really curious to know why the radio version has it bleeped out. I did also notice some wrong lyrics on some of the new songs on the album.

It is really difficult to tell what MC is saying during that particular verse especially with the word "stuff" at the end. I guess radio programmers don't want any FCC complaints from listeners complaining that MC is saying the other four letter word.

Great news (112,924)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Last October, I stopped by Gamma Headquarters in LA in search of work and was fortunate enough to make a somewhat direct link towards Mariah's team. Long story short, I've recently been brought on in a new capacity. Of course, for contractual reasons, I'm not able to share in-depth behind the scenes. What I can say is that I'll now be part of a new, real-life Mariah community, which likely means stepping away from this board, not for good but at least for a very long while.
It's truly been a wonderful experience here. Dove, Giovanni, Mimi L, MusicFanJ, Terna, Lainsky, Randy, Joachim, Lara, Rashidi, and TJ, I've loved reading your stories, ideas, and reviews. I'm hopeful I'll continue to work my way closer to MC, and I'll absolutely try to relay your ideas and perspectives.
Thank you to MCArchives for all the festivity and warmth during my short time here. God bless, and I'm so grateful to have shared my love for Mariah with all of you. I wish you all nothing but the very best, darlings.

Make sure you check out the anniversary edition of Music Box if you haven't. It has a longer, better version of "All I Live For" from The Rarities and another vaulted up track called "Workin' Hard" that she did with C&C Music Factory (who did the dance tracks on Emotions and Music Box).

Don't worry at all, her cover of "My Prayer" wasn't actually out for 30 years, it stayed in the vault and was only released in 2024 for the 30th anniversary of Music Box. You're almost two years late to the party though. We talked about it a lot on the board back then.

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,921)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
It's deep-rooted for MC. Aretha clearly favored her, but it was Celine who truly showed out, and that probably felt like a hard slap in the face. And J-Lo is just fundamentally annoying. The comparisons to Beyoncé were probably so insulting too. She simply does not belong in the same lane as any of these extraordinarily talented women. It honestly felt like she was a prank the industry tried to pull on everyone. A terrible singer, a mediocre dancer, and an equally mediocre actress. Just look at her acting on her Kamala speech, definitively nobody bought those crocodile tears.

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,913)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|

Haha call me a hater but JLo deserves the shade. She's incredibly fake, has no moral compass when it came to using other artists' material to get fame (so many of her songs have vocals from other singers she passed off as her own, she also stole from Usher) and basically is full of herself. Is she the only one at fault? No because Tommy facilitated it and JLo took what she could to advance in her career. But yes Céline is an angel and super sweet so I definitely disagree with Mariah's treatment of her. I don't think she should have made statements about Celine's Divas performance.

My Prayer (112,904)
by Lainsky from Philippines
| |
|
|
Happy New Year, everyone.
I can hardly believe that I just discovered this song tonight. I accidentally typed "My Prayer" instead of "I Pray" in the search bar while looking for music to add to my Instagram post. That's when I found "My Prayer" by Mariah Carey, featuring the Music Box 30th Anniversary cover. I clicked on it, listened, and was blown away. What a beautiful gospel song from that era.
Now, I'm feeling conflicted. Should I be upset that this song has been around for over 30 years and I'm only hearing it now? Or should I feel thrilled about discovering it? It's a mix of both emotions, but I've decided to focus on the positive feeling of excitement.

by Haiji from United States
| |
|

Hello everyone. Happy holidays. So I've been hearing IYF on the radio on multiple occasions since a little before Christmas, but my question is about the radio version, if anyone has heard it yet. Why is the word "stuff" bleeped out, from the line "Now I feel stupid and stuff"? Am I missing something? Does that word have an alternate explicit meaning nowadays?

Last fully live television performance (112,918)

Sadly the whistles were lipped in HATEU. But what comes to mind are Jimmy Fallon AIWFCIY 2013 and Play This Song 2025. True fully live rarities.

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,915)
by Stacey from USA
| |
|
|
Through all the posts I've read on this thread, you are the only one who gets it. There was no controversy. Aretha was asking for volunteers to join in the fun and Celine raised her hand and joined in. Simple. Dare I say MC was a bit jealous of Celine? In that her voice wasn't as sharp as Celine's voice? Could you see MC pulling off Celine's rift that night? Look, I love both artists, for different reasons. Stop playing one against the other. Both are amazing singers with amazing careers. Peace.

I find it sad that she thinks it's ok to diss anyone at all in the public. It's kind of trashy and unnecessary. I think J.Lo is being the bigger person.
And Celine? As you say. Never heard her saying anything bad about anyone.

Honestly, yeah Celine is the one person I'll disagree with Mariah on. She could diss Christina, Nicki Minaj, or J.Lo, those were warranted. But Celine? She only outshone Mariah in Sony sales and refocused Aretha's invitation. And it's all because she simply did a great job at singing.

Divas Live 1996 (112,905)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
96 would have been the sweet spot for the vocal trinity, the perfect medium. If I had one wish, it would be for the three of them to share one stage. Arguably the greatest vocalists of a generation, they were neck and neck in vocal skills and impact. We will never see a tighter competition of phenomenal singers. 90's kids were truly blessed.

Divas Live 1996 (112,898)
by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
| |
|
|
What if VH1 conceived their idea of doing a fund raising concert gathering top female singers/divas two years ealier than the 1998, maybe around November/December 1996. The line up and set list are based on the divas latest project or hit song at that time.
Solo performance:
1. Toni Braxton - Breathe Again, Unbreak My Heart
2. Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me, It's All Coming Back To Me
3. Mariah Carey - Always Be My Baby, Anytime You Need A Friend (perfect song for fund raising event)
4. Whitney Houston - Exhale, I Believe In You And Me
5. Madonna - Take A Bow, You Must Love Me
Group performance:
1. One Sweet Day (Mariah & Boyz II Men) this song was huge at this time so VH1 needed this to pull ratings
2. Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Madonna & Celine) Madonna was busy promoting this movie/soundtrack this time
3. You Were Loved (Whitney & Toni) they can bring Babyface too because he produced it and Whitney was busy promoting The Preacher's Wife movie and soundtrack
Finale:
Them 5 divas can end the show with whatever gospel song Whitney had from the soundtrack or end it with I'm Every Woman. Mariah must hit couple of whistle notes, as that a requirement by VH1. Just for laughs. Just imagine the vocal galore and vocal climax from Whitney, Mariah, Celine and Toni. Madonna needs to be included for ratings because she had major project at that time and very popular too at that time. Janet should be there too but she was not in any due for album or any project in 1996.

I'd say it was more because Céline stuck to her trade. Mariah post 96 lost a lot of support with the direction she took. I'm not personally saying it was a bad thing, as I like both directions she had. But she lost a lot of fans who didn't like the change.
