Re: MC's next album (88,918) (88,920) by B from USA Are you referring to the Aretha biopic starring Jennifer Hudson? Who do you think should play Mariah in a biopic? What happened to the Starz series based on Mariah's life? Is it officially over? (Saturday 30 March 2019; 23:49)

Re: Randy Jackson (88,916) (88,919) by RibbonB from USA I think Mimi and Randy are eternally friends, but she only showcases those who can be with her 24/7 and those come and go. I do think Idol was a sore spot with her and maybe that is part of it, but her professional friends have lives and other jobs to attend to, so they can't just hang out 24/7 like her paid staff. JD is her bud, but his appearances also ebb and flow. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 19:45)

Re: MC's next album (88,915) (88,918) by RibbonB from USA Keep dreaming Robert. That might be nice, but is highly unlikely. And unless she's really ready to throw down, she should never even consider it. 2019 is the year of the Clark Sisters' biopic on Lifetime as well as the long awaited release of Aretha in the making of Amazing Grace live footage. I'm totally giddy about seeing this forty year old footage in April. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 19:40)

Re: MC's next album (88,915) (88,917) by SM from Citizen of the World I love love love this idea. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 19:13)

Randy Jackson (88,916) by Bobby A from United States Why doesn't MC speak about or hangout with Randy Jackson anymore? I know they had some disagreements during his brief stint as her manager. But I would have never thought that would destroy their friendship. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 18:25)

MC's next album (88,915) by Bobby A from United States I have this strong feeling that MC's next album will be a gospel album. It makes logical sense now to record a live gospel album in a church with the help of Daniel Moore, Kirk Franklin, Donald Lawrence, Loris Holland and James Poyser. The album could be her amazing grace. She has the perfect voice now to demonstrate her vocal techniques in a live church recording. The only thing that worries me is her need for total perfection. Anybody who has experienced singing in a black church, knows that nobody cares about imperfections when the spirit hits you. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 18:22)

Re: Daydream (88,904) (88,914) by B from USA Daydream was the first album I ever bought and it is perfection but Butterfly is my favorite. In my opinion, When I Saw You is the vocal standout of Daydream. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 15:50)

Re: MOAIA (88,907) (88,913) by Tijl from Belgium Bill, I do agree that "Obsessed" messes with the flow of the album but I liked how feisty MC was by directly shading M&Ms. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 15:39)

Re: Daydream (88,908) (88,912) by Bill from the UK Well I was at the Daydream London concert and that was amazing. I was so glad I got to see her during her prime. I do agree her live performances during 1995 and 1996 were fantastic, which makes it even more intriguing that the album's vocals aren't as impressive. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 14:26)

The last karaoke (88,911) by Andrew from London, UK Whenever You Call. It's as if Mariah recorded it in 1994. And it's the last powerhouse ballad with pace and momentum she ever recorded, unfortunately. The last karaoke ballad. When someone posted here that they want Mariah to make "real music" again, I believe this is what they meant. Songs not overproduced, not layered with cut and paste vocals, not templated as a slow beat with an octave higher scream at the end - just classic songs with moving and universal lyrics. Not "Cos when you love someone you just don't treat them bad." Although it is nice for Mariah to let her kids write her lyrics. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 13:25)

Re: Daydream (88,900) (88,910) by Randy from USA Tyler, the reason we love Daydream as a vocal album is because during that time, she was able to replicate album vocals live without assistance from a wall of background singers (at that time she had them on stage to back her up not to swallow her imperfections) and without a background track. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 09:02)

Re: MOAIA (88,897) (88,909) by Denny from United States The thing about "Obsessed" is that even people who were not Mariah fans recognized it was brilliant - the lyrics, everything about it. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 08:28)

Re: Daydream (88,900) (88,908) by Denny from United States Not the most vocally impressive album, but the most vocally impressive era. Listen to any live performances, from live tv appearances, AMA to MSG to Tokyo Dome and you'll get it. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 08:24)

Re: MOAIA (88,902) (88,907) by Bill from the UK Agree, Ribbon is a master stroke and the best thing on the album. Obsessed the absolute worst. I have a playlist with Obsessed and those tacked on remixes removed and the album flows wonderfully. Obsessed is so jarring and upsets that laid back dreamy vibe of the album. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 06:58)

Re: MOAIA (88,903) (88,906) by Hector from Mexico Downside #2: One more try (Rebecca Black has better processed vocals) Downside #3: Supernatural Sorry. My mistake. I was talking about Me, I am Mariah. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 02:42)

Re: MOAIA (88,902) (88,905) by RibbonB from USA Yes Ribbon, Candy Bling, Up Out My Face. All classics. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 02:03)

Re: Daydream (88,889) (88,904) by Hector from Mexico Daydream will always be my favorite Mariah album. I remember the first time I listened to that album in full. Fascinating. The only track I skip is Long Ago. My favorite is Melt Away. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 00:04)

MOAIA (88,903) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) In my opinion this particular album played homage to 90’s R&B with a 2009 twist. The only downside to the album is the production becomes very stale quickly because Tricky and Dream stick to a certain sound and after awhile it falls flat. (Friday 29 March 2019; 23:30)

Re: MOAIA (88,897) (88,902) by Hector from Mexico I love Candy Bling, H.A.T.E.U., Up Out my face, Angels cry and Languishing. My favorite is Ribbon. I hate Obsessed. (Friday 29 March 2019; 22:41)

Re: MOAIA (88,899) (88,901) by B from USA My favorite songs from MOAIA are Obsessed, Candy Bling, H.A.T.E.U., Standing O, Angel (The Prelude), Angels Cry, and Languishing. (Friday 29 March 2019; 21:47)

Re: Daydream (88,889) (88,900) by Tyler from USA While Daydream is a great album (not best) I never understood why people categorize it as her most vocally impressive album. The stand out vocal track on that album is Forever, in which shes' mostly holding long notes. In my opinion, Music Box, Emotions and Butterfly had more stand out vocal tracks. Heck even Glitter. (Friday 29 March 2019; 21:20)

Re: MOAIA (88,897) (88,899) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Obsessed", "Hate U", "Candy bling", "Out of my face" and of course "Standing O" and "Languishing". The lyrics are clever and fun. Some say it's boring, I don't think so. The mood and sound is just completely different to E=MC2. More dreamy and relaxed. A perfect album for autumn or late summer. (Friday 29 March 2019; 18:20)

Re: R&B (88,896) (88,898) by Musti from UK Don't forget the hair flip. (Friday 29 March 2019; 17:37)

MOAIA (88,897) by Tijl from Belgium I just rediscovered the "Memoirs" album today after a long time of not giving it any attention. "Obsessed" remains fun and I will always love the video, it's just so tongue-in-cheeck. Furthermore Standing O, H.A.T.E.U. (especially the Jump Smokers remix) and Up Out My Face contain great lyric mastery from MC. (Friday 29 March 2019; 16:01)

Re: R&B (88,892) (88,896) by Licia from USA Add a bunch of cackles. Lmao. (Friday 29 March 2019; 15:34)
