Re: Producers (94,271) (94,276) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I actually would prefer if she kept on looking for just about any other producer she hasn't worked with, especially those whose sound or style would not necessarily be expected to be associated with her. If Caution's any proof, she'll know how to not make all of them tracks sound scattershot as an album despite having an army of cooks in the kitchen. If Caution wasn't fresh enough, then all the more reason to work with new people to update her sound. Mariah never gets buried under varying production styles. She's a chameleon yet puts her own stamp on things, and she'll know when to tell them producers to rein in their enthusiasm. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 11:48)

Re: Ultimate disrespect (94,273) (94,275) by RibbonB from USA You're delusional. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 10:47)

What More Can I Give? (94,274) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Now would be an excellent time for the Jackson estate to put up 'What More Can I Give' on all platforms. Somehow I ended up with the MP3, it's a good bop, and doesn't sound as early 2000's as it should. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 07:57)

Re: Ultimate disrespect (94,206) (94,273) by Nikki from usa No, Ribbon - I just stay with the facts. Packer is wanted in several countries for his crimes and I took the time to read the prenup when it leaked. Yes, he did want to pay her to be his wife and that marriage was to end after she turned 50. Mariah left the boat she and Packer were vacationing on after Packer blew up at one of her assistants in September. The story is still on this site. They didn't talk since, but Packer began leaking stories of their breakup in October. Licia - if you can't muster the time to read 2 paragraphs than why are you responding to them in the first place? I'm not sure where the rest are going off on a tangent about James being near her kids since that had nothing to do with my post. After Tanaka broke his leg he made himself useful by helping out Mariah with the kids. He became a nanny. Which is why Stella couldn't get Mariah to get rid of him. The kids liked him. Yet, he wasn't invited to family events for the first year. It's just Nick and Mariah. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 05:31)

Re: Must see Glitter promo video (94,272) by Nikki from usa Have you not seen Glitter? All that happens. She didn't go with corporate, she dated Dice. That interview was shown and several others. She was on the set when they shot that interview, her hair was still being done. Mariah made over 40 songs for Glitter, but the label decides what's going to make it to the album. It's a shame the Prince song didn't work out, but I imagine it didn't fit with the end result of the movie. I still hope she releases it one day. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 04:56)

Producers (94,271) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) To me I think that MC should work with some up and coming producers on her next album. As well as 2-3 producers that she chemistry with. I would not mind Mike Will made it, Timbaland, Skillex, or Dev Haynes. As for co-writers Crystal Johnson, Missy Elliott, and Poo Bear. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 02:38)

Re: Check out Masterpiece by the Clark Sisters (94,268) (94,270) by T from USA So so good. JD and Darkchild are two of my favorite producers and I know the reason MIAMTEC is so so good was because of those two great producers. (Monday 1 June 2020; 16:57)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,260) (94,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I prefer the 80ies and 90ies. If there was a time maschine I would definitily go back. Lol. And even late 70ies we're great too. Nowadays just makes me sad a lot. The statistics can say what they want, when I was going out in late 90ies it was much more safe and "fun", I never had to worry about things that are today "normal". Of course I'm just talking about my country and how I have experienced it. But I have a little hope that things will get better in the future. The system is down, and although there are "winners" there are too many sick people because of the system and it's pressure. (The work-life.) I know so many people with burn-out and so on, something which was not in common 20 years ago. People shouldn't be treated as "human ressource" which is cheap to be exploited.

Check out Masterpiece by the Clark Sisters (94,268) by Bobby A from United States Jermaine and Crystal Johnson wrote a song for the Clark Sisters called Masterpiece. It is really a great song. Their new album The Return is really a brilliant gospel album that showcases their musical diversity. Crystal Johnson is such gifted songwriter. I hope she collaborates with MC again soon. And Rodney Jerkins provided some fresh beats for More and Nobody Like Him by the Clark Sisters. So much better than You're Mine (Eternal). Lol. (Monday 1 June 2020; 02:43)

Re: MC / Timbaland Robert Anthony (94,265) (94,267) by Bobby A from United States Gee, thank you for the clarification. I understand better now at what you were trying to say. (Monday 1 June 2020; 00:41)

Re: They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,263) (94,266) by RibbonB from USA Ouch a few typos. (Monday 1 June 2020; 00:36)

MC / Timbaland Robert Anthony (94,265) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am sure that MC would have loved to work with them both during the Butterfly era as they were fresh to the mainstream and Butterfly was MC’s artistic statement. My point was she did not work with Timbaland until [Skydiving] and then again on Caution with 8th [Grade]. Hopefully they will work together again at some point because I really enjoy 8th [Grade], also [Skydiving] sounds great as well, I hope that we get to hear the finished song one day.

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,248) (94,264) by MC1989 from Spain What a beautiful voice she has. So proud of her using her popularity to support the black community and speaking against the racism and police brutality that this case is bringing on to the table. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 22:24)

Re: They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,256) (94,263) by RibbonB from USA I remember it . It was just ok. I preferred his other demo for her called "I need Things". Mimi could have rocked out to the obe. The lyrics needed to be tweaked to not be so materialistic though. I think all those reject demos hadn't been touched by Mimi as in no contribution from her just rejected off yop. She outright rejected so need things on Twitter. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:36)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,253) (94,262) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love her litttle snippet she's posted. The lyrics are today even more important than in 90. I'm so sick of superficial lyrics in general, Mariah should do another song like TGTBAW, she's so good at it. The world needs a new song with meaning and hope. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:34)

Re: Skydiving (94,257) (94,261) by RibbonB from USA Skydiving is really not that good IMO. Mimi has a ton of rejects out there like Future's many babies. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:30)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,253) (94,260) by Andrew from the United Kingdom If you had to choose one moment in history in which to be born, and you didn't know in advance whether you were going to be male or female, which country you were going to be from, what your status was, you'd choose right now. The world has never been healthier, or wealthier, or better educated, or in many ways more tolerant, or less violent, than it is today. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 16:24)

Next album (94,259) by Bobby A from United States I really feel MC is working on a new album that is going to take Lambs back to Butterfly, TEOM, and E=MC2 mixed into one cohesive powerhouse album. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:49)

Re: MC / Timbaland (94,254) (94,258) by Bobby A from United States She wanted to work with Timbaland and Missy together for Babydoll, but his schedule wouldn't allow it. MC said that during an interview. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:44)

Re: Skydiving (94,255) (94,257) by T from USA She put some songs that were already on Memoirs onto MIAMTEC. I wish instead she put Skydiving on it as I believe it would've even bolstered an already excellent album. Timbaland was at the top of his game in 2014. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:19)

They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,256) by John from USA Does anyone remember this demo song from the Memoirs era? All we have is The Dream's demo and the lyrics still definitely need reworking (for instance: the opening line says: It's 8AM in the morning, lols). It has a lot of potential though, and Mariah's breathy vocals would fit right in for the verses. I just wish Mariah had recorded this. For those who don't remember, here is the link. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 07:13)

Re: Skydiving (94,251) (94,255) by John from USA Thanks for the link. That's the longest version I've heard so far. I think sonically, Skydiving may even fit Caution as well. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 06:59)

MC / Timbaland (94,254) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mariah has only worked with Timbaland twice. On both [Skydiving] and 8th [Grade]. Babydoll was actually produced by Stevie J. with additional production by Cory Rooney. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 03:10)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,248) (94,253) by Bill from the UK I know TGTBAW often gets overlooked, and at times mocked for its production etc., but it's incredible and shocking, how 30 years/a generation after it was written, we still find ourselves in the same world. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:38)

Re: Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) (94,252) by Bill from the UK I loved the part where she couldn't keep a straight face when listing the differences between Dice and Tommy haha. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:35)
