Rent Free in my mind (98,737) by Terna from Nigeria This was one "The Voice" got right, and the show seemed to get a lot of credibility as she was seemingly taking off and then not. I only heard of her when she had passed, it's so sad. This girl could've been a massive big star by now. I come back to her audition ever so often. (Thursday 14 October 2021; 21:27)

Re: Allure (98,735) (98,736) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, I still have videos from the VH1 specials too. They were all great, you're right there must have worked a lamb at that time. It was really a cool time and you could only love Mariah and her music. So fresh, so sweet, so adoreable, I will never forget that time. I esteem those memories. (Thursday 14 October 2021; 14:24)

Re: Allure (98,732) (98,735) by Terna from Nigeria That [era] is when I became a die hard lamb. Haha. I had a "When You Believe" cassette tape and used to record music videos on VHS and anytime Mariah came on even if the song was almost through I'd hit record without fail. Oh and how VH1 loved Mariah Carey, I bet there was a lamb working there at the time. Where did time go? (Wednesday 13 October 2021; 20:34)

Re: Allure (98,732) (98,734) by Bobby A from United States And it's crazy how every producer she collaborates with manages to capture that signature sound. I hope she recorded some more songs with Trackmasters. They had that hard hip hop sound that was pleasing to the ears. I guess that's why MC liked them so much. The Rarities 2 should be interesting and put a smile on our faces. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 21:41)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,730) (98,733) by Bill from the UK Love this idea. That white dress needs to come back into rotation. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 21:25)

Re: Allure (98,731) (98,732) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Crazy how Mariah's sound is instantly recognizable even when she isn't singing." Yes Terna, it's so true. That's her unique MC style that I love so much from day one. Songs from the vault 97-98 are really needed. There must be hidden gems from that era. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 13:34)

Re: Allure (98,726) (98,731) by Terna from Nigeria This is so random, for you to mention them out of the blue as I have been playing and singing "Last Chance" the greater part of this month randomly, that song is written and sung beautifully. I once played it for a die hard Céline Dion fan friend of mine and he went "It sounds so Mariah, It's near perfect." Lol. Crazy how Mariah's sound is instantly recognizable even when she isn't singing, her sense of melodies and what works musically is 2nd to none. If there's a version of hers in the vault I hope she releases it together with other songs recorded during that time period - '97/98 that era wasn't represented on the first rarities. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 12:37)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,704) (98,730) by Jamie from UK Late to the debate but Emotions album is one my favourites, always has been. I personally feel it sounds more soulful and deep. The ballads are more meaningful and powerful. Love love love "Till the end of time" and "So blessed". Even the cover I find more classic and oozes quality. I would love to have seen an album showcase in a small venue like "the Tatoo Club" of just songs from Emotions and her wearing that white dress. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 10:01)

Re: Allure (98,726) (98,729) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I really hope Mariah's demo of the songs she wrote for others are still available in the vault. The following are the songs she wrote for others that I would love to hear: 1. Allure - Last Chance 2. Blaque - Don't Go Looking For Love 3. Faith - Where Are You Christmas (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 04:50)

Re: Allure (98,727) (98,728) by Bobby A from United States I bet she recorded a demo for Blaque's Don't Go Looking For Love. I would love to hear that demo as well. (Monday 11 October 2021; 23:48)

Re: Allure (98,726) (98,727) by Bill from the UK I bet MC recorded a demo for Head Over Heels. The background vocals/layering that goes on in that song is so Mariah. Also the ad-libs as well. Would love to see that on Rarities 2 as I always imagined her singing it. That and, of course, Where Are You Christmas. (Monday 11 October 2021; 21:12)

Allure (98,726) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really like this group. I have bought an "ear book" about New York, it has CD's with typical music from the city like Jazz, Swing, RnB, Hip-Hop with three songs from Allure. Very cool. I always hear Mariah when I listen to Allure. I wonder if MC has a song from Allure completely sung by herself. We just need a Rarities part two. (Monday 11 October 2021; 18:17)

Re: Speaking to the choir (98,724) (98,725) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was thinking the same. Her songwriting is one reason I became a fan beside her outstanding voice, aura. I love her early lyrics so much and of course the "Butterfly lyrics". I miss those kind of lyrics, that were really poetic. We all know her voice changed, but why those beautiful lyrics? What she created with Walter was magic. I wish she would find another "Walter" a great musician who would inspire her. Than she could do a jazz album or soul-pop album with great lyrics. One can dream. (Monday 11 October 2021; 12:35)

Speaking to the choir (98,724) by Bobby A from United States Mimi's songwriting has not been the same since she stopped writing with Walter A. We probably will never get another Daydream or Butterfly album. Her songwriting was impeccable back then. She probably will never admit that Walter A. inspired her when he sat at that piano. Just my thoughts after listening to Infinity. Maybe I am wrong. MC16 might take us back. (Monday 11 October 2021; 09:13)

Re: Adele (98,721) (98,723) by Bobby A from United States You are so right. Adele might just end up with the biggest selling album of 2021 with just six weeks of sales. (Monday 11 October 2021; 08:16)

Re: Mimi is also immature (98,712) (98,722) by Stacey from USA Exactly. Navigating the junior high to high school years is hard enough without adding the craziness with social media. My daughter just turned 13. My hubby and I got her a phone, her first one. No social media. She can try Instagram once she hits high school then Facebook once she's an adult and decide for herself. (Monday 11 October 2021; 03:07)

Re: Adele (98,720) (98,721) by SM from Citizen of the World Adele will own the whole month or so after that date lol. "Hello" also spent 10 weeks at #1. Should be interesting. (Sunday 10 October 2021; 16:48)

Re: Adele (98,718) (98,720) by Bobby A from United States Adele is going to own November 19. It is the Friday before Black Friday. I am thinking MC's announcement is going to be the week before Halloween. I suspect we have not received an announcement before now because she was waiting on Adele's announcement. (Sunday 10 October 2021; 11:59)

Nick a no no (98,719) by Nikki from usa You don't buy things for the kids behind the parent's back. That's not cool. Especially, since Nick only sees his kids 6 times a year. Nick didn't have 5 kids when Roc and Roe were 8. Nick seems to be confusing time frames. That seems like a more recent conversation. He's up to 7 now. All of that is neither here nor there because kids tend to spend too much time on their phones instead of interreacting with other humans. I can understand MC not wanting her kids dependent on electronics when they already have some. That can add another danger she may not be able to monitor. These are celebrity children. Mariah's the one caring for them most of the time. It also makes me wonder how hands on Nick is when he's with them or if he distracts them with gadgets, so they don't bother him. (Sunday 10 October 2021; 04:48)

Adele (98,718) by SM from Citizen of the World Well, Taylor Swift moved her album release to a week earlier because of Adele's new album which is rumored to come out on November 19. Not sure what surprises Mariah has planned, but hopefully they are on hold until a week or 2 before Christmas so the general public doesn't over look them. (Sunday 10 October 2021; 02:52)

Re: Mimi is also immature (98,711) (98,717) by RibbonB from USA So sorry for the typos, typing on tablet in bed. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 20:32)

Re: Marriage (98,714) (98,716) by RibbonB from USA Exactly, it's not the phone itself, that's inevitable in this age. Regular parents will have the talk with their kids about sex, race, etc. Mimi may not want to deal with the celebrity issue, but that is inevitable. Get ahead of it anyway, phone or no phone. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 20:31)

Re: Mimi is also immature (98,712) (98,715) by RibbonB from USA They've been on the web for years, have iPad's and Roc has even schooled fans in the past about their comments. The issue is parenting and having parameters on those devices. Kids even use tablets for school. After watching the segment, both she and Nick were probably joking. But the kids accessing the web is inevitable. What they discover about her is mostly up to her going forward. Her past is out of her control. Both parents seem to have established a foundation of love and trust with their parents. They will both have to give talks with them about celebrity culture, gossip, etc. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 20:28)

Re: Marriage (98,709) (98,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was 15 or 16 when I got my first cell phone. Back at the late 90ies. Lol that big, black Nokia one. And luckily there was no Google on it. I understand that Mariah doesn't want cell phones for her kids. But I think all the other kids will show them Google and so on. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 14:21)

Re: Tanaka and MC (98,708) (98,713) by Bobby A from United States Please elaborate about the filming of a Christmas special for this holiday season. I am just so excited about this news. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 13:46)
