Re: Mariah "Care One Child" (97,674) (97,679) by Edward from USA "Care One Child", was that a bonus track I didn't know anything about? (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 20:18)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,660) (97,678) by TJ from Norway My first was her debut album in 1990 on CD. The next one was the EP in 1992. I bought Emotions after that and was convinced that I'll Be There was on that album. I remember that I ordered the album in a music club (Scandinavian Music Club). It's like a million years ago.

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,673) (97,677) by Dav from Ireland Mine was Butterfly! As a repressed young gay growing up in Ireland, I had to hide my musical tastes as well as everything else for fear of being seen. I first became aware of Mariah when I'll Be There was played everywhere in 1992 (aged 11). In 1993 I managed to get my hands on a friends Music Box cassette and copied it onto a blank tape, which I listened to every night on my Walkman and imagined my life when I would be older. Daydream came out and I burred it onto the other side of my blank tape. 90-minute tape worked perfectly. I listened to them back-to-back, night after night for years. I remember being in the car and hearing Butterfly on the radio, it was a metaphysical experience. That songs still chills me. I went into the CD store and bought the single. (I didn't get the single album system at that point.) Next My All was everywhere, and I went to buy the single and saw the album. Life changing. Mariah comforted me in those lonely times, she knew isolation and how it felt to be outside. Luckily Ireland is a very different place now, much kinder and accepting. I think Mariah has found a kinder life too and is more accepting of herself. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 20:07)

Mariah on DNice Instagram Live (97,676) by The Real Deal from USA Did anybody catch Mariah on DNice's Instagram live over the weekend? I caught a few minutes of it. She was talking about how they were going to make "Save The Day" t-shirts to support DNice in regard to his Club Quarantine, but then JD never ended up making the shirts lol. DNice said it looked like she was in the recording studio during the live and she said "We can't reveal such things." Haha. She had the same look as when she posted the photo of her in the Biggie Smalls t-shirt and it was in the same studio room as well. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 17:22)

Bonnie Tyler's disbelief at Mariah Carey's comment (97,675) by MusicfanJ from Germany Nice article. I love Bonnie Tyler. A humble star and really sweet. Her 80ies hits are still great to listen to. That she makes her hair and make-up by herself makes her even more sweet. Mariah and Bonnie together on a plane, really cool. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 11:54)

Re: Mariah "Care One Child" (97,666) (97,674) by Stacey from USA Upon first listen of MCIIY, this song stood out to me too. Such a beautiful message. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 04:11)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,660) (97,673) by Stacey from USA Mine was Music Box. I was vacuuming in my family room. I had my back to the TV as VH1 (you know when VH1 and MTV actually played videos) started to air Hero. Seriously this experience is something out of a TV show. I turn around slowly and thought what is that voice? Who is that? The rest is history. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 04:09)

Re: Someone make a list (97,667) (97,672) by Lady B from USA Has anyone ever seen Andrew and John in the same place? (Monday 22 March 2021; 21:52)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,660) (97,670) by Anonymous from Great topic, lovely story. (Monday 22 March 2021; 21:39)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,668) (97,669) by Anonymous from Bill, I love you. Please don't be scared lol. I love your love story of Mariah. (Monday 22 March 2021; 21:38)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,660) (97,668) by Bill from the UK Great story and idea. So here's my tale. Picture it: I was 10 and my brother used to religiously watch the MTV Chart Countdown every week. We had just got Sky TV and it was an absolute novelty to have more than 4 TV channels haha. I remember wandering into the living room in the summer of 1993. Sunlight was beaming through the patio windows, my brother was lying on the floor in front of the TV, head cupped in his hands, watching the TV. I had wandered in because I heard this voice. Y'all know where I'm going with this. Up until then, the only female singers I was aware of was Euro Dance acts, and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Dreamlover was playing, and it was love at first sight. Her voice, her look, the song. That was it. I remember seeing the Dreamlover cassette single in a local record shop but didn't have the 99p (lol) to buy it. Hero then started to get aired and I was just as in love with that song. I remember then seeing Music Box in the store and I would go in after school whenever I could and just gaze at the picture and try to memorise the tracklisting. The album seemed so classy when compared to 2 Unlimited and Ace of Base lol. Without You then appeared in early 1994 and it was the cassette single was the first Mariah item I ever got. I remember loving the sepia cover and how beautiful she looked, and also being floored by Never Forget You. I saved and saved my pocket money until I had the £7.99 to buy the cassette album. At the time, my room was being redecorated, so I was in a sleeping bag in my brother's room. I remember having a little kids torch under the cover at night as I listened to the album over and over on my Walkman. I thought it was her first and only album until I saw the page in the booklet advertising her other albums. I was in Woolworths and looked at the CDs and saw Emotions and Unplugged. For my Birthday I asked for those on cassette and was delighted when I got them. I could go on for hours about my early Mariah time. Everything was such a new discovery and such a joy. What a time to be alive. (Monday 22 March 2021; 20:22)

Re: Someone make a list (97,665) (97,667) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm not responsible for how you perceive my questions/curiosity. Grow up. Stop being offended by something that isn't even directed at you, and in general something that isn't even meant to be offensive. Also Andrew is capable of defending himself, give your keyboard warrior mentality a rest. (Monday 22 March 2021; 16:31)

Mariah "Care One Child" (97,666) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I know it's not Christmas for a long time, but I find myself listening to this song every season of the year. But I wanted to consult you fellow lambs, since we have talked about a lot Mariah's tendency to lip synch. I want to believe that this whole performance is live, because she was pregnant, and her voice was on point at that time. But how much of this performance was live, did she actually sing the high notes live? I like to think so. Either way, I think it's one of her best live performances and the song always gives be goose bumps. (Monday 22 March 2021; 16:01)

Re: Someone make a list (97,663) (97,665) by John from USA Geez. Those questions didn't seem like polite queries asked out of curiosity, but more like accusations to me. Way to go and turn things around and play "victim". Victimhood mentality is really in trend nowadays. How trendy. Lols. (Monday 22 March 2021; 12:41)

Mariah featured in a celeb rating (97,664) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For anyone interested, Laura Lee, a YouTube beauty guru recently made a video inspired by the viral tiktok trend of people rating celebs they've met based on their personality. Laura met Mariah back when Mariah had the collaboration with MAC and hosted this glamorous "girls night in/slumber party" with some beauty gurus. This is the video from 14:18-18:25 minutes she talks about Mariah and has only really nice things to say about her. She talks about how Mariah is like an open book and spilled tea on Nick and apparently answered anything she was asked. Which was surprising because in interviews she's always very good with just not answering questions she wants to avoid. Laura also talks about how Mariah just felt very genuine. There were a lot of celebs she mentioned with whom she had bad experiences but she went all out on praises for Mariah. (Monday 22 March 2021; 12:10)

Re: Someone make a list (97,654) (97,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter On the contrary, I have always been super critical of some of Mariah's choices, but I do still find her and her work exciting. I may not like it all but I do like it in general. Also please stop with the defence mode, Andrew and I and many others have danced this same dance for years now. My post isn't to tell Andrew to get off the board or stop writing, it's a genuine curiosity to know why he's still invested. I want to know what about her still pulls him to her and be a regular on this board because he has been here for a really long time. If it's not the music, the outfits, the body, the voice, the music or the personality that attracts him anymore then what is it? Jeez. Spare me the witch hunt. (Monday 22 March 2021; 12:00)

Positive Monday (97,662) by HoneyLamb from Germany I just wanted to send you all some positivity at the beginning of a new week. I have recently found this wonderful fan made Butterfly edit. Someone added "Ethereal Harmonies" to the song. I do not know how "known" this version is to you all. Maybe it's new to some of you. Enjoy. Since I have discovered this edit, it has replaced the original version on my Butterfly iTunes tracklist. (Monday 22 March 2021; 11:10)

Re: On another note (97,659) (97,661) by John from USA Not anymore, no. Left that title and that ingrate family, since they have no appreciation for my having to give up my burgeoning Hollywood career just to bless them with my presence. (Monday 22 March 2021; 10:22)

Recounting the first bought album experience (97,660) by Lainsky from Philippines Instead of the list and arguing over issues, how about reminiscing our first experience when we bought an album of Mariah for the first time? It was 1994 when I had my first ever album of her, which is Music Box on a cassette tape. I was barely 16 then. I could not stop playing it all day until the night. I mean it was like one round in the morning, another round in the afternoon, and then another in the evening before I go to sleep. No track skipping because it was hard to do that with a cassette tape. Although I have known her through "Love Takes Time" for the first time, it was Music Box I got to own first. It was followed by Daydream, #1s, and then I bought the rest of her albums, all in a cassette tape until Rainbow. The first CD I owned was Rainbow. I stopped buying the cassette tapes then and started collecting her CDs. What was your experience? (Monday 22 March 2021; 04:40)

Re: On another note (97,652) (97,659) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I see. So you’re not going by "The Duchess of Sussex" anymore? (Monday 22 March 2021; 02:44)

The mixes (97,658) by 123 from USA Nice mixes of deeper cuts on her albums along with new takes on some old hits. (Monday 22 March 2021; 01:46)

Re: Someone make a list (97,649) (97,657) by Bill from the UK Back in the studio with JD? Shoot me. (Monday 22 March 2021; 01:34)

Re: Someone make a list (97,655) (97,656) by John from USA Since when were you not on my team? (Don't answer that... hahahahahaha.) (Monday 22 March 2021; 01:23)

Re: Someone make a list (97,654) (97,655) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Nary a moment passed since I questioned a lamb's conviction that Mariah would do something new with her sound and looky here, it's posted that Mariah is in the studio with Y'all Know Who This Isn't. Lambs of the world, rejoice. Thy saviour has come. And this time he promises he has learned to pronounce some more consonants. I am now #teamJohn. But I would say that I tried many years ago to get people to speak the truth to Mariah, but the board is largely comprised of Hard Left ideologues that believe if they don't like what someone says, that person should be silenced. Half of what I post doesn't get past the Dutchman. Imagine if it did. There'd be carnage. When Mariah next comes to the UK I am happy to do a meet and greet for the Lambs. I won't even charge £500 for the privilege and you can have a photo for free. It won't be hard to spot me: I'm the blond guy who is singing and shouting the loudest and dancing like I think everyone is watching. (Sunday 21 March 2021; 23:39)
