Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,421) (97,454) by Lainsky from Philippines
I tried and I failed lol! I could not resist sharing my own list as if anyone cares. Like Bill, I love rankings that's why I was obsessed with Billboard Charts, radio countdowns, and Mariah's single. Well, let me be happy just seeing it here. As mentioned in my previous post, Butterfly will always be on top. Hey! It's her magnum opus and kind of like her signature/identity album.
1. Butterfly
2. Daydream
3. Music Box
4. The Emancipation of Mimi
5. Glitter
6. Mariah Carey
7. Caution
8. E=MC2
9. Rainbow
10. Emotions
11. Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel
12. Charmbracelet
13. Me I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse
Similar to others, I am leaving out the two holiday collections and the compilation albums. A lot of lambs like MIAMTEC, especially the younger and later fans of her. As a 90's baby, I honestly cannot relate much to this album. It's the reason why it is at bottom. Caution and MOAIA are her most cohesive works. The former suffer from her fading popularity and the latter suffer from wrong singles released like E=MC2.

1. Butterfly
2. The Emancipation of Mimi
3. Daydream
4. Caution
5. E=MC2
6. MIAM
7. Mariah Carey
8. Glitter
9. Emotions
10. Rainbow
11. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
12. Music Box
13. Charmbracelet

Butterfly will always be my number one - if nothing else, for the songwriting and narration alone. Mariah really developed her craft here. Daydream follows for vocals and as a subtle lead into a more urban, adult sound.

I love Caution era. A total mood album. Thematically, so cohesive. Give me The Distance, and you can keep all of Memoirs.

And I love the E era party vibes. Love upbeat Mariah. I prefer her having fun versus waning over a lover on top of a slow arrangement.

Rainbow would be higher if asked years ago, but in my opinion, songs like X Girlfriend and How Much really haven't aged well. Also feels choppy. She clearly recorded it quickly and wanted out from the label.

Never really liked Charmbracelet - sorry. Love performances of Through the Rain but her diction is poor on the album and I feel like she kept reaching but never achieved a smash hook.

Now just realizing I'm partial to the newer part of her catalogue, though Music Box was one of my first cassettes ever.

Languishing Interlude (97,451) by Joe from United Kingdom
This is one of my faves on MOAIA and I have always wondered who MC is singing it to. Obviously it's one of those personal songs she does hat that we all love. I'm thinking maybe it's Tommy?

Re: Mariah: The Diva, The Drama (97,435) (97,448) by Tijl from Belgium
It was available on YouTube for a short while. It holds many inaccuracies and it is highly dramatised. That famous impersonator, Jessica something, plays MC. She does resemble Mariah, especially from certain angles but all in all it is a silly piece of tabloid journalism.

It surprises me that only one person listed Caution in their top 10 (at number 9), while everyone was lyrical when the album was released.

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,429) (97,440) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia
Alright lady, that'll do. Music Box and Daydream have always been a bit "meh" for me. On Music Box I like AYNAF, Dreamlover and Without You, and obviously our favourite Everything Fades Away. But the rest of the album all blends into one for me. Same with Daydream. Fantasy and Looking In are the only songs I'm crazy about. The "Open Arms / When I Saw You / I Am Free / Forever" ballad train all sounds the same. I say this like I dislike them, I don't. Even the MC songs that I don't love, I'm still very fond of. Except "I Don't". James Packer and Almira Gulch can keep that one. Now, are we cool?

Re: Get a grip (97,436) (97,439) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Lol it's a piece of "rip-off". That prize for a book is hilarious. But yes, of course it's "art". Rihanna could spend the the earning for a a social thing. That would make sense.

Honey live at Top of The Pops 1997 (97,438) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
I wonder why until now Mariah's team has not uploaded the official live performance of Honey at the Top Of The Pops in 1997. Almost all of Mariah's performances at that show in the 90's have been uploaded at Mariah's YouTube channel. To me, it was such a great performance and the only performance where Mase made an appearance. Mariah's voice and tone was almost identical to the album version.

Re: WBT Valentine's mix (97,430) (97,437) by HoneyLamb from Germany
What bothers me most: it's not rocket science to soften the transitions between the different parts. Yes, I am not Mariah the elusive chanteuse, but even I was able to soften most of these "bumps" just by using the stems from the internet and Audacity. So I would expect a studio perfectionist like Mimi (or her team) to do better and not have it sound that obvious.

Get a grip (97,436) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
"The Rihanna Book: Queen Size is limited to only 500 copies and retails for $1,495. 'It's a piece of art that I am really proud of,' RiRi said."

Squeeze me? Baking power? 1.5k for a photo book. Are you kidding? It's like US$500 for a brief-no-redo photograph with the artist.

How much money do they need? This is incredibly selfish. It goes to show what I have said all along. The Mariah's and the Rihanna's of the world do not care about you and though you may have spent a thousand hours in your room dreaming of the day, to them you are a dollar sign.

$750,000 for crappy bound photos? Oh, tweet her and tell her to foxtrot oscar. The cheek of it. Save your money.
