About Jamie from UK:

New album 2024 (103,528) by Jamie from UK There's lots of rumours circulating that Mariah's next album is due to be dropped in 2024. She's looking great at the moment so let's hope this momentum stays untl its release (Monday 18 September 2023; 13:05)

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,486) by Jamie from UK Hahaha [you're] too kind Andrew, I was literally shaking after though could barely sign the disclaimer lol. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 18:28) this is a reply to message 103,484

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,484) by Andrew from the UK Part 4. He's the handsome sweet bloke that genuinely - genuinely - looks like that moment meant the world to him. And to be fair he handles himself far better than I have in front of her - especially given that he had Justin and Alan to contend with. "Oh, smurf off, Jamie" and "Come on down, the water's lovely" was very quickfire comedy and it was probably the funniest part of the show. To have dealt with that and still hold your own in front of that crowd and Mariah herself was impressive. To, further, seize the day and try to get down onto the set is nothing short of gobsmacking. It's a great part of the show. Enough of me giving compliments - they hurt my head. I'm not used to it. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 16:54)

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,483) by Jamie from UK It's the ask me anything section, part 4 maybe, I can't remember. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 16:10) this is a reply to message 103,480

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,480) by Bobby A from United States Which part can I see Jamie in? There are like 5 parts on YouTube. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 12:50)

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,479) by Jamie from UK Hahaha. That was such a fun day and Mariah looked amazing. Literally shook when she said my name. I love E=MC2 more than Emancipation such a great album. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 10:48) this is a reply to message 103,473

Daydream is Mariah's magnum opus (103,473) by Andrew from the UK E=MC2 is a much better record than The Emancipation of Mimi. It's one of Mariah's best. You should also check out The Friday Night Project on YouTube. Mariah looks amazing. So does Jamie, actually. (Thursday 14 September 2023; 06:02)

MB30 (103,446) by Jamie from UK Well said Andrew I totally agree, she loved those times otherwise she wouldn't be paying them any attention. She was there present at the time and without any effort she looked comfortable and enjoying herself. Nothing is perfect and there were times she wasn't happy but on the whole I'm certain she misses those times. (Tuesday 12 September 2023; 01:48) this is a reply to message 103,444

MB30 (103,444) by Andrew from the UK Mariah was artistically "stifled" on Music Box? How interesting. She did, did she not, write the songs? She did, did she not, produce the songs? She did, did she not, create the vocal arrangements? She did, did she not, commission the remixes on which she...? Oh, you get me. The pretention of you. Mariah does, does she not, sing Hero in every concert? Mariah does, does she not, sing Dreamlover in every concert? Mariah's breakthrough hit, was it not, Without You? The audacity of you. Music Box is one of the best selling records of all time. Do you see Mariah denying or lessening her involvement in it? Do you hear her, for example, wishing it had been different to the extent she was forced into this in slave labour? The stupidity of you. The lambs do bleat foul under the impression that pre-97 Mariah was chained to a piano leg with Walter Afanasieff sucking the creative blood out of her. What absolute nonsense you have willingly been fed. Do not regurgitate it in my presence. (That's a posh way of saying STFU and GTFO.) (Tuesday 12 September 2023; 00:20)

Taking care of herself (103,443) by Jamie from UK Wow Mariah is looking in great shape, from her recent Instagram post. She really seems in a good place right now and taking care of herself. Let’s hope that with the added confidence of looking her best she starts to focus on giving us some new music and working on those vocals. Maybe reliving the [Music Box] era has given her the push she needed to remember how great she was. (Monday 11 September 2023; 23:05)

Pre-order (103,428) by Jamie from UK I've just preordered Music Box on Amazon, it's cheaper than on website and free delivery if you have prime (Monday 11 September 2023; 00:31)

MC30 (103,414) by Jamie from UK Mariah didn't write My Prayer, it's a cover song. (Sunday 10 September 2023; 10:54) this is a reply to message 103,411

MC30 (103,411) by TheWind from England The previously unrealised songs are fantastic. It always amazes me that Mariah can write songs like My Prayer in her early 20s. I really think Mariah should keep future new releases as simple as possible. Don't overthink the theme, lyrics, melody, production. Lately, too much time has been spent constructing a song that's current or relevant. Whereas, songs like My Prayer does the opposite, and in a good way. Beautiful song. (Sunday 10 September 2023; 09:45)

Music Box 30 CD (103,397) by Jamie from UK Has anyone preordered this yet? It's saying shipping is February. If you have are you charged now or February? (Saturday 9 September 2023; 21:13)

My Prayer (103,396) by Jamie from UK Loving the official lyric video for My Prayer. Some nice pics of young Mariah. (Saturday 9 September 2023; 21:08)

Proctor's Theatre (103,391) by Jamie from UK Haha I must have had a moment. And yes I remember him well. (Saturday 9 September 2023; 11:03) this is a reply to message 103,379

Proctor's Theatre (103,379) by Andrew from the UK I have just relistened to both about fifty times now side-by-suide, but I can't hear it. She seems to end the phrase on the same beat the guy in the audience ends his contribution. Can you imagine being that guy, now? On another note: when you listened to Hero at Proctor's Theatre did you picture the audience member in a black and white striped T clapping and shaking his head in disbelief? I bet you did. Now, can you imagine being *that* guy? (Friday 8 September 2023; 17:55)

Proctor's Theatre (103,375) by Jamie from UK I might be wrong but the Thank You For Coming bit seems a fraction earlier than the DVD version, like it's an alternative take? (Friday 8 September 2023; 15:47) this is a reply to message 103,371

Proctor's Theatre (103,371) by Andrew from the UK I am beside myself that this is now on Spotify. "This is another new song from my new album, called Anytime You Need A Friend. I just wanna dedicate to everybody here tonight. Thank you for coming." It is the very first thing I heard from Mariah whilst my brothers - who had 'borrowed' the VHS from their friend up the street - watched it in the living room. I walked in to see what it was I could hear and couldn't believe it. I know every single hand movement, head movement, foot movement from the performance. Mariah, you're incredible. (Friday 8 September 2023; 12:06)

It's here (103,360) by Jamie from UK Sounds different at times to the Rarities version. And is the original whistle at the end. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:30) this is a reply to message 103,359

It's here (103,359) by Edward from USA How so? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:19)

It's here (103,357) by Jamie from UK Hahaha yes thank God lol. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:15) this is a reply to message 103,355

It's here (103,355) by Edward from USA Does iTunes still exist? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:13)

It's here (103,356) by Jamie from UK Love My Prayer great vocals. The vocals on All I Live For are better than on the Rarities too. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:15) this is a reply to message 103,353

It's here (103,353) by Bill from the UK Workin' Hard is phenomenal, and I have no words for My Prayer. I am crying, her voice is sensational. How, how has this stayed locked up for 30 years? Oh Mariah I love you so much. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:05)

It's here (103,352) by Jamie from UK Seems it's on Spotify here too, I don't have it though so will wait for iTunes (Friday 8 September 2023; 00:43) this is a reply to message 103,351

It's here (103,351) by Edward from USA Tony is in Norway, he's already listening. (Friday 8 September 2023; 00:38)

It's here (103,349) by Jamie from UK Not here it's not (Friday 8 September 2023; 00:25) this is a reply to message 103,347

It's here (103,347) by TJ from Norway Finally. (Friday 8 September 2023; 00:18)

Release date (103,345) by Jamie from UK Good because I can't wait any longer I wonder if there's gonna be more as she said musicbox30 begins 8/9 to me that sounds like there is more surprises to come. I landed this morning from Florida but I'm determined to stay awake. (Thursday 7 September 2023; 23:17) this is a reply to message 103,343

Release date (103,343) by Bill from the UK Technically midnight tonight is tomorrow. She's posted a snippet of Workin' Hard on her insta. Wow. To think we'd have another Carey-Cole-Clivilles track in our collections all these years later. What a treat. (Thursday 7 September 2023; 22:21)

Release date (103,342) by Jamie from UK Seems it's coming out at midnight tonight? Thought it was tomorrow? (Thursday 7 September 2023; 21:57)

Disc two (103,320) by Jamie from UK I’m super excited. Will it be midnight Friday night everywhere? (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 23:55) this is a reply to message 103,319

Disc two (103,319) by Bill from the UK Full tracklisting for the bonus disc: 1. All I Live For (extended version) 2. Endless Love (duet with Luther Vandross) 3. Do You Think of Me 4. Workin' Hard 5. My Prayer 6. Hero (2009 version) 7. Anytime You Need a Friend (extended mix) 8. Music Box (a capella) 9. Dreamlover (live from Top of the Pops) 10. Without You (live from Top of the Pops) 11. Dreamlover (Def Club Mix) 12. Anytime You Need a Friend (C&C Club Version) 13. Anytime You Need a Friend (Soul Convention Remix) 14. I've Been Thinking About You (Terry Hunter Remix) 15. Workin' Hard (Terry Hunter Remix) This indicates that Everything Fades Away may be placed as track 11 on the regular album (its rightful place). I cannot wait for Friday. (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 23:31)

Clivillés and Cole (103,314) by Jamie from UK I'm getting really excited now for Saturday. I've been playing Music Box non stop, but that's nothing new for me. I was just thinking and wishing if there were any unreleased songs that collaborated with Clivillés and Cole. I always used to love this side of her in the early days. It was such a shame that David Cole passed so young into Mariah's career as I feel that both David and Robert had a good bond with her. I love how much Mariah holds Music Box close to her heart and the memories. If only all parties involved could forget the past and get together just one more time. Come on Mariah call Walter, Kelly, Shanrae (if you can find her) and Melonie and let's make some magic. (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 00:02)

My Prayer - The Platters (103,311) by Jamie from UK I just listened to it, I can just imagine MC singing that with the Price sisters and Melonie doing the background. (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 00:49) this is a reply to message 103,310

My Prayer - The Platters (103,310) by Pedro from Brazil Some fans are speculating that Mariah's "My Prayer" is actually a cover of a song of the same name by the group "The Platters", because in the promotional video, Mariah's track lasts 2:50, which is similar to this one. What do you think, guys? (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 00:18)

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,301) by Jamie from UK I agree. (Monday 4 September 2023; 12:02) this is a reply to message 103,297

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,297) by Bill from the UK Please no. Why paint the peacock? (Monday 4 September 2023; 00:17)

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,296) by Jamie from UK Just seen a post that there's a rumour Mariah is re-recording one or more tracks for musicbox30 or another project to be released this year. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 19:50)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,295) by Jamie from UK I find both Mariah Carey and Emotions albums to be a little lower in volume compared to Music Box onwards. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 18:35) this is a reply to message 103,291

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,291) by Bill from the UK I don't have that version my friend, but that's because it's a lot of snake oil. It won't sound any better than the CD. CD audio (16bit/44.1khz) is better than the top range of human hearing (but a substantial margin), so much like the gold "hi-res" stamp you see, it's marketing with no discernable difference. The fact the K2 CDs play on a regular CD player, which cannot encode any better than the Redbook standard, is testament to that. The only true difference can be heard on the SACD/HDCD format, which you need to play on special decoders/systems. You will hear nuances in the music and perhaps elements deeper in the mix brought to life a bit more. To my knowledge only #1's and Divas Live has been released on that format from Mariah's catalogue. Any difference you hear on the K2 version will likely be down to the mastering, and in most cases it's "louder" only. So, put in your regular Music Box CD and turn up the volume dial and you'll have the same outcome. We are fortunate Mariah recorded her albums in top quality Sony studios (up until Rainbow), the CDs all sound fantastic and are the absolute best they can be. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 10:58)
