The Distance (112,803)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
I have this song on repeat, definitely one of Mariah's best. I really wish it was longer because I never want the song to end. I normally hate featured artists in songs especially Mariah songs but I must say Ty Dolla did his thing. I saw an interview of Mariah where she said she was given some beats to listen to and she picked the one for The Distance and I just found it interesting lol. Caution has become of of my favorite Mariah albums and she couldn't have made a better album that year.

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,802)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
It's a very nice song and it gives me Rainbow vibes. You can literally hear Rainbow Mariah singing this song. I would really like to see at least one live performance of this song.

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,796)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
It's personal, yet some parts of it will resonate with a lot of athletes, especially "survived a gruesome fall". Many of them have had to endure major injuries before reaching the Olympic level. Then there are lines like "surely, I couldn't find a friend" which feels a bit of a mismatch for what is supposed to be a motivational moment.
That said, Mariah takes songwriting assignments seriously. I put her in a totally different category than regular singers. She really doesn't miss the mark when a specific occasion calls for a specific song. She wrote 100% for the Winter Olympics, and she repurposed Through the Rain with Make It Happen during COVID. So I don't doubt she'll come up with something clever.

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,800)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Tommy had nothing to do with My Heart Will Go On. The song was written by James Horner (with Will Jennings) specifically for Céline, no other singer was considered.
James Cameron actually wanted the movie to end with an instrumental. Horner wrote the song anyway and had Céline record a demo behind Cameron's back. Once Cameron heard it, he approved it, and that demo became the final version. Tommy was there when she recorded the demo and thought it was great but that's about it.
So there was no Tommy "offering" the song to Céline, and Mariah was never in the conversation. If Céline hadn't done it, the song probably wouldn't exist as a vocal at all.

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,797)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
In his book, Tommy says he had to strongly convince Celine and her manager husband to sing MHWGO for Titanic. Celine did not really like the song and only sang it once as a demo because Tommy insisted.
His push for Celine's success becomes even clearer in a quote from record producer Michele Anthony, also included in Tommy's book: "Selling tens of millions of Celine records was really important for Tommy because it proved he had developed and broken another female vocalist who was now outselling Mariah. Being able to replicate what he had done with Mariah mattered deeply to him."
Timing-wise, in 1997 Mariah was the biggest star in the world, undeniably the most talented, and should have been the most obvious choice to sing a guaranteed blockbuster soundtrack. The song was essentially guaranteed an Oscar and a Grammy, and with Walter producing, Mariah should have at least been offered the opportunity. But no, Tommy said Celine was the first and only singer he ever offered the song to.
Whitney had The Bodyguard. Celine now had MHWGO. Two of Mariah's biggest rivals had massive hit movie soundtracks, and she had none. As a lamb, I know Mariah wanted credibility in the movie world very badly.
Do you think this is why Mariah developed such an inevitable, and possibly misplaced, disdain toward Celine? The Divas Live incident only made it worse. I actually side with Celine here. Aretha clearly said "help me lift it", and Celine simply did. Mariah's voice was shot. It feels like Celine had already been chosen over her privately, and now it was being publicly confirmed as to why. I felt her ego was so deeply bruised she had to go on tangents years later about it. I thought it was also unnecessary to include it in her book.
Anyway, not really trying to bring in old drama into the New Year, I've just been reading people's memoirs and found these very interesting.

Monroe has a cute, smiley smirk. I think when you're around Mariah, who has that Hollywood-white, perfectly crafted veneer smile, and you're a teenager with braces, it's natural to feel a little self-conscious about smiling. But give Miss Monroe some time, she'll be flashing her beautiful straightened teeth pretty soon.

I think Monroe doesn't look so happy on the pic. Or is it the typical teen look? No smile. Rocky is trying to be cool. Lol. But I'm sure they are not forced to wear the sweaters.  But they now have a difficult age. The "easy" years are over. Mariah please keep them grounded. I'm always shocked how bizarre some kids from celebrities are. Mariah's kids always seemed very nice.

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,792)
by Terna from Nigeria
| |
|

I sure do hope this song is not the song for the Olympics, and not even her next single. Its lyrics are too personal and very specific to that dark time in her career (Glitter), there isn't anything uplifting about NII, sorry to state the obvious. It is a revisit to a very dark time in Mariah's career and life. Mariah is a songwriter who can easily come up with a song much more in vein, vibe, melody and lyrical content suitable for the Olympics - an uplifting, healing song and moment for this time. God knows the world needs healing right now. And said song is not (all caps) "Nothing is Impossible". Haven't we already been hinted at such a song in the past? I recall "Reach for the sky" being said, was for an Olympic type event. Well, now might just be the time.

Time flies and this picture is a proof of that. I might be very critical, but why on earth do the twins need to wear pullovers with her face on? I find that a bit, what should I say? Narcissistic?
Anyway, I also want to say happy Christmas to all of you guys. I hope the Archives will be up and running next year. We are not a big crowd anymore, but it's nice to visit this site. Thank you so much for all that you do for this community, Eric.

Mariah singing at the Oscar (112,789)

Don't you guys have a dream to see Mariah singing tribute at the Oscar? Just like Lady Gaga singing songs from The Sound Of Music. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Mariah all glam up and singing movie songs and all the audience giving her standing ovation at the end. I still have hope for it to happen. 2026 maybe.

Olympics (112,785)
by Bill from the UK

Nothing Is Impossible would be a great track to sing for the Olympics. I hope she gets on stage and gives a graceful and elegant rendition of that song. Please, no hits medley and don’t merge it with Hero. Just sing a new song that fits the theme perfectly. One of the best Olympic songs in my memory was Tina Arena singing The Flame at the 2000 Australian Summer Olympics. Then they closed them with Kylie Minogue. Two great Australian icons.

Belated Merry Christmas to the lovely board. I hope the new year brings us a deluxe version of HFIA whenever she's ready.
As for the twins wearing the Mariah jumpers - Mariah is swiftly becoming synonymous with Christmas, for some people close to if not more symbolic than Santa. I'm sure living in Mariah land that's more the case. Plus they're supporting and proud of their mommy. I'm happy she at least has allowed them to have their own musical tastes.
Looking forward to what song/mash up M has cooked up for the Winter Olympics. I hope she ties it in with something from HFIA or maybe a new song that'll be on the deluxe. Before that we have the NYE performance.

IYF vs NII (112,782)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
I'm usually always right. LMAO. Just kidding. And aw that kind of makes me emotional. Mariah always credited Patricia, "This is my mommy and my very good friend and she taught me how to sing, she taught me how to harmonize" and in the same interview, Mariah's face got cut off but you can tell she was so touched when Pat proclaimed, "I think that Mariah was a born singer, I think there are people who are gifted." MC almost got emotional for being praised by a very strict vocal coach and deep inside, you know Pat was very proud of what she birthed into the world.

IYF vs NII (112,776)
by Bobby A from United States

Lambi, you may be right. The main theme for the ceremony is "Harmony" (Armonia). MC might be writing a brand new song with DJ Snake. She probably wants her performance to appeal more on a global stage through a new song with DJ Snake. The melody and instrumentation of Let Me Love You comes to my mind.

My favorite Olympic songs is Reach by Gloria Estefan. I like that it's upbeat and it kind of makes me feel inspired and fired up. I know it's cheesy but I loved it when I was a kid and even sang it in a talent show. 100% had that vocally and lyrically but the music could've been better.
