Why the secrecy (99,506) by Bobby A from United States Why do you think MC is being so secret this time about what she is releasing this year? I think that there is a new potential recording deal that she is strategizing and she does not want to lose her contract leveraging power before the deal is sealed. I know on Twitter Spaces she has said several times that, "They get upset with me when I say too much." Could she be referring to Melissa and the executives at Range Media? Whatever she is releasing, will be her most anticipated release of her career. I envision a MC16 double album with The Butterfly Lounge or the Rarities 2 as disc 2. I am hoping for new vinyl in her store including Somebody's Ugly Daughter and Glitter. Yeah, what is up with buying a house in Sandy Springs, GA? Which is not Buckhead but close to it. Just my thoughts. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 20:45)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,499) (99,505) by T from USA Ummm. She "rehashes" it every time she performs the song. She could leave it behind altogether but she doesn't. She also recently did a Tik Tok using the song dressed as Eminem. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 15:14)

Mariah Carey 1990 debut in Spotify (99,504) by Horacio from United States Does anyone have access to the streaming numbers for each individual song from the debut album? I wanna see how close we are to getting that 10x Platinum (Diamond) RIAA certification. If Mariah Carey (1990) and Merry Christmas both become Diamond, Mariah would be the only female artist with 4 Diamond RIAA-certified albums. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 13:34)

Re: I Am Free (99,498) (99,503) by Bill from the UK Well, I'm speculating. MC always said she felt I Am Free had the potential to be a great gospel song, and said she wanted someone from that arena to cover it. The news of her working with the Clarke Sisters, and that this "Butterfly lounge" may be her reworking her old catalogue, is me putting 2 and 2 together. And probably getting 5.

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,499) (99,502) by Bobby A from United States Maybe it is not good idea. You have a valid point. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 12:02)

Re: I Am Free (99,498) (99,501) by Bobby A from United States But Matty, pay close attention the bridge and outro. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 11:58)

Re: Article: Is Mariah Carey moving to Buckhead? (99,497) (99,500) by Bobby A from United States MC chose Sandy Springs with all the rolling hills and quick access Buckhead. She must be planning to work with London Da Track, Missy Elliot, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo, Zaytoven, and Drumma Boy. It makes sense to move to where they are since flying them in is not the optimal choice right now. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 11:56)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,494) (99,499) by RibbonB from USA That's absurd. Old trash that doesn't need to be rehashed. It's beyond boring. Are some of you really Mimi fans, or do you just like to remember her trauma and her dealing with her oppressors? Free Brittney and Mimi. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 09:27)

Re: I Am Free (99,492) (99,498) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Wow, really! Re listened with that in mind, and it sounds like a Celine cover still. VOL is its own beast. I Am Free is beautiful, but basic. No VOL. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 05:47)

Article: Is Mariah Carey moving to Buckhead? (99,497) by Korey2 from United Stated Looks like a beautiful place! Congrats Mariah. Let me know when the house warming is and I'll try to swing by. Need a new waffle maker or some yankee candles? (Saturday 22 January 2022; 04:34)

Re: I Am Free (99,492) (99,496) by Stacey from USA It's awesome because it's off Daydream. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 02:54)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,494) (99,495) by Bobby A from United States I love your idea. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 01:56)

Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,494) by T from USA I just saw the trailer for the 2022 Halftime show. It was pretty cool. I imagined how great it would've been if it was Mariah as the female artist in that group. Her scene in the trailer could've been her taking down the Christmas tree and decorations when she gets "the call". A remixed version of Obsessed with Eminem would be the show stopper. If only they would put their egos aside for the good of our entertainment. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 00:55)

Re: I Am Free (99,492) (99,493) by Bill from the UK I did like it, but my dad once heard me playing it and said it sounded like she was drunk, so now every time I play it I think of that comment and laugh lol. If she's re-imagined this song with the Clarke Sisters though I will die. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 00:15)

I Am Free (99,492) by Bobby A from United States I love this song. It always reminded me of VOL part 2. (Friday 21 January 2022; 21:25)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,489) (99,491) by Bill from the UK Hah, you pretty much removed all my favourite songs lol. (Friday 21 January 2022; 21:16)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,462) (99,490) by Randy from USA I really gutted some of these albums. Mariah Carey - All In Your Mind Emotions (should be 9 tracks) - The Wind Music Box (should be 8 tracks) - Now That I Know, I've Been Thinking About You Merry Christmas - (should be 9 tracks) Christmas Baby Please Come Home DayDream - When I Saw You, Long Ago Butterfly (I can't tinker with perfection) Rainbow - (12 is fine) How Much, Crybaby Glitter - (should be 8 tracks) If We, All My Life, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, Want You Charmbracelet - Boy, You Got Me, You Had Your Chance, Irresistable, Through The Rain Remix TEOM - (should be 9 tracks) Stay The Night, Get Your Number, Your Girl, I Wish You Knew, To The Floor E=MC2 - (11 is fine) I'll Be Lovin You Long Time, OOC, I Wish You Well Memoirs- (13 is fine) Ribbon, Inseperable, Standing O, The Impossible MCIIYou - (should be 9 tracks) Christmas Time Is In The Air Again, When Christmas Comes, Here Comes Santa Claus, One Child MIAMTEC - (should be 6 tracks) Dedicated, Make It Look Good, You're Mine, Supernatural, Money, One More Try Caution - (should be 5 tracks) The Distance, Giving Me Life, One More Gen, 8th Grade, Stay Long Love You (Friday 21 January 2022; 09:30)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,487) (99,489) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Debut: Prisoner Emotions: N/A (already 10) Music Box: N/A Daydream: I am Free and When I Saw You (slows the album down way to much, very ah la Music Box) Butterfly: (this one is way to hard): Whenever you call (because we get a better version on #1s), and argh. Breakdown dare I say (I've always seen Breakdown and Babydoll as sister songs for some reason, and I like Babydoll better.) Yikes this one was hard. Rainbow: How Much, X-Girlfriend, Did I do that, Rainbow Interlude Glitter: If We, Want You Charmbracelet: The One, My Saving Grace, Lullaby, Through the Rain (remix), Sunflowers for Alfred Roy (I'm so sorry Mariah, this is only based on song not on personal meaning.) TEOM: Stay The Night, Get Your Number, Your Girl, To The Floor E=MC2: LS, LK, T4N, Bye Bye (Heat should have made the final version as the opening track to the album, that leads into Migrate, then TMB into I'm That Chick). The "It's Mariahhhh" opening to Heat was perfect given she was the biggest star in the world at the time and it sums up the summer loving hard hitting vibe of the album perfectly. MOAIA: Inseparable, Standing O, More than Just Friends, Languishing (which was a hard choice). The remix of UOMF should have been the album version (would have helped with album sales, given this was Nicki's first Billboard entry). MIAM: Thirsty, Supernatural (again so sorry Mariah, I know it's sentimental), Camouflage, One More Try (even though I love this cover and don't understand the hate, I just like everything else better). Caution: N/A (but the singles should have gone in this order: GTFO, A No No, Caution, The Distance) (Friday 21 January 2022; 05:04)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,487) (99,488) by Bobby A from United States I added it back to my workout playlist. I was kind of digging him and hearing Circles always reminded me of what could have been. I wonder if MC feels the same about Boy (I Need You) and what could have been with Camron. Oops, did I say that? (Friday 21 January 2022; 04:13)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,472) (99,487) by Terna from Nigeria Oh my. Haha. I never, ever (all caps) listen to new Mariah Carey music (or new music in general period) with other folk around for this exact same reason. Distractions and opinions that could marr your own thought process and opinions as they form while you're listening, it can be very annoying. For "The Emancipation of Mimi" I took my time and played that album on my discman first using sound blocking earphones for this reason and boy was I blown away. Then the next day sure enough while playing the record, friends in droves came around and everyone kept chiming in opinions, but I had already formed mine over 24 hours before and was even singing along already. Sorry about your "Circles" bad experience. That's one of the most powerful vocals on that record, give it another chance. (Thursday 20 January 2022; 19:44)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,485) (99,486) by T from USA You try to make 10 track albums with no missteps lol. In one way there would be some good songs missing sure but on the other hand if her albums were all made to be the best ten tracks with no filler then her discography would be unparalleled. (Thursday 20 January 2022; 19:18)

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,462) (99,485) by Dennis from The Netherlands Open Arms? UOMF? Camouflage? Seriously? (Thursday 20 January 2022; 14:50)

You Had Your Chance (99,484) by Bobby A from United States Another forgotten gem that added nothing to Charmbracelet. However, what it did showcase was that JD and MC could write a club song. The duo perfected the club song in 2007 with It's Like That. And it was a stone cold winner. I have enjoyed looking back at my Mariah papers this week. Tomorrow I am going to talk about another forgotten gem from Daydream. Who can guess what it is? No one ever talks about this gospel influenced ballad. She wrote this song with all of her heart and soul. Walter A's piano on playing is crazy. (Thursday 20 January 2022; 13:26)

Re: Memoirs (99,482) (99,483) by T from USA Memoirs is just such s great listen. I secretly wish it was 12 tracks of just the best songs so it could compete with Butterfly as her all time best R&B album. 1. Betcha 2. Obsessed 3. HATEU 4. Candy Bling 5. Ribbon 6. Inseparable 7. Standing O 8. It's a Wrap 9. More Than Just Friends 10. The Impossible 11. Angels Cry 12. Languishing (Thursday 20 January 2022; 02:30)

Memoirs (99,482) by Bobby A from United States I must say that I love this album. I listen to it all the time. I know that The Dream and Tricky Stewart were bashed for its poor sales, but it was really a well crafted brilliantly produced album. I would love for MC to try it again with another one production team like Mike Will Made It and P-Nasty with Timbaland and Nova Wav sprinkled in. If she only listened to me all the time. Lol.
