Re: Everything Fades Away (93,319) (93,320) by Bill from the UK The irony was it wasn't even a cohesive body of work. Caution's themes and sound differed track to track. It went from "kiss off" to "kiss me" every other song, and at break neck speed. Good album though, but not great. I mean it's not Daydream's second coming, let's face it.

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,318) (93,319) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Yup. And we all know how on this board Mariah could do just about anything she wants, such as make another Infinity and Why You Mad, dress like Stella, etc. but God forbid she makes something as terrible as a cohesive body of work. We would never hear the end of it. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 14:32)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,316) (93,318) by Bill from the UK Indeed. And they would also help create a cohesive body of work. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 14:01)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,317) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I am on board with your post except the part that says: "Anyone who is focusing on any new projects or touring is not concerned about her wellbeing, they are only concerned about their own selfish interests and to me that is not cool." Funny how that generalization alone somehow comes off even worse than the perceived selfishness and insensitivity it purports to criticize. Discussing other aspects of Mariah's career doesn't automatically make one a) unconcerned of her and her family's health and safety b) selfish and only concerned about their interests c) insensitive and unaware of the impact of the pandemic. No one is downplaying or disregarding the seriousness of the situation we are currently in. We are all subjected to hourly updates on it, and with each one we become more aware, but with each one our anxiety is heightened. The WHO recommends, other than stocking up on basic necessities, also stocking up on laughter or anything that can take our mind off of things. Shows, meetings, appointments have been and will be canceled as long as the coronavirus is around in full force. The world may have been rocked by this, but music, creativity, expression, life - these aren't canceled, for all of us, and especially not for an artist like Mariah. The discussion of her future plans is no different from us contemplating how we're gonna bounce back from this. This is a legitimate concern that is just as harmless as any regular discourse on her music on this board. We trying our best to get by doesn't keep us from planning ahead. Pray, follow the precautions, help others whenever we can, but we must not forget to lighten up. It will better for our immune system. Be well. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 12:18)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,312) (93,316) by Edward from USA Are you implying they would help Mariah update her signature sound? (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 05:45)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,312) (93,314) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Or have Walter produce it instead. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 18:48)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,311) (93,313) by Bill from the UK What don't you get about it? It's one of the more poignant, sad and desperate lyric she has written. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 17:08)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,310) (93,312) by Bill from the UK I agree. Same for Migrate. Have it re-released with a hot feature from Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 16:40)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,310) (93,311) by Randy from USA I hate to be negative. But the production, melody and vocal is amazing and it's one of my favorite songs by MC. But the lyric doesn't make sense if [you] study it. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 16:22)

Everything Fades Away (93,310) by Edward from USA I know it hasn't occurred to anyone here, but Everything Fades Away should've been a single. We should get justice for it. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 15:11)

Re: "Everything Fades Away" (93,307) (93,309) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Everything Fades Away is such a good song that I spent an afternoon in January figuring out how to get it into my Spotify app. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 12:55)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,308) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Agreed. Nice one. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:40)

Re: "Everything Fades Away" (93,292) (93,307) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Yes, Greek William, yes. Everything Fades Away is to pop/RnB what the Moonlight and Pathetique sonatas are to classical. It sounds like it always existed. It sounds like it should always exist. It is definitive and constant, for want of less dramatic terms. Mariah has perhaps a few masterpieces (in that they are songs that are not reasonabky possible to criticise - I'm looking at you Eddie). Mariah's masterpieces are possibly... well, everyone may have an opinion. But a masterpiece must surely be the definition of perfection. EFA is absolutely one. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:36)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,297) (93,306) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You know I hate disagreeing with people lol but the rehashed Petals that you talk of. I love getting a new Mariah album and hearing what soft introspective, pensive song she's knocked out. I skipped every song on Memoirs until I got to Languishing because it's what I wanted to hear. Portrait was obviously it for Caution and I didn't take to it. But Languishing, Petals, Close My Eyes, Looking In, they're Mariah staples and nobody does it like her. It's insane how much she can make you feel on the songs where it seems like she's not even trying. Maybe Bye Bye was it for E=MC2 although it's more of a single. I loved the song some but it has not stood the test of time well. It sounds dated - not timeless like the aforementioned. Twister was the biggest disappointment on Glitter. The song actually makes me feel anxious. Can't listen to it. But Mariah's strength lies in those melancholy ballads where she sings softly about some kind of pain. Nobody does that like her. Genuinely. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:26)

Re: Pandemic (93,303) (93,305) by RibbonB from USA Ain't that the truth? Although I hope she doesn't catch it like Idris, or Tom Hanks. We could all do without a new pandemic disease, so more importantly let's hope we all survive. On another note, when things clear, or settle down, I bet some comedian is going to have a fire routine about this dystopian year. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:58)

Charlie Puth (93,304) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia If any of you follow Charlie Puth on Instagram, you would have seen him singing "I Still Believe". He's probably one of my favourite male artists - so I love that he's showing love to my favourite female artist. Unless it's in fact a tribute to Brenda - in which case he can move along. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:43)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,303) by T from USA MC will be fine maybe your prayers should be directed to the more poor and vulnerable senior population. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:03)

Re: Hilton (93,299) (93,302) by T from USA If you bothered to read what I was replying to it was a comment that wished she stayed away from the WBT rehashes and did songs more like: Lead The Way, Without You, Never Forget You and I Don't Wanna Cry. My reply was then you need Walter for that. Pure and simple. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:02)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,301) by MusicfanJ from Germany The 2020 with the pandemic is like a nightmare yet. It seems we'll get a shutdown tomorrow. I hope everybody is well, please take care. (Monday 16 March 2020; 17:09)

Pandemic (93,300) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This Coronavirus outbreak is very serious as the entire world is at a standstill. Personally our main goal should be staying safe at all costs. If we care about MC we should hope that she along with her loved ones are safe during this time. Anyone who is focusing on any new projects or touring is not concerned about her wellbeing, they are only concerned about their own selfish interests and to me that is not cool. Hopefully we can get back to our daily living soon, however until then everyone stay safe. (Monday 16 March 2020; 15:21)

Hilton (93,299) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Face it Walter and MC are no longer, and will never be again. Even if they were to reconnect who is to say that their chemistry would be the same? Also he was one of the people who did not want her sound to evolve from the AC pop balladeer princess. Thank God she followed her instincts because if she had not we would not have Butterfly, TEOM, or Caution all albums that took our MC in a new direction or updated her sound. I respect their work together but I am sure if they were working together today some fans would still find something to complain about. (Monday 16 March 2020; 15:04)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,297) (93,298) by T from USA If you want that MC needs to reconnect with Walter. (Monday 16 March 2020; 13:01)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,296) (93,297) by Bill from the UK Unfortunately ballads of the last 15 years have either been a WBT template paint by numbers affair, or a whispery, subdued rehash of Petals. If you want another Lead the Way or I Don't Wanna Cry or Till the End of Time or Never Forget You, MC needs to switch it up. (Monday 16 March 2020; 10:52)

Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,296) by Lainsky from Philippines "Lead The Way" is simply beautiful, classic and a masterpiece. Too bad many people did not hear it for they just have written off Mariah that time. Still, I must say this is one of her best ballad. It is in my top three of all time. I just wish she will write and release something quite similar to this in her upcoming album that we all hope to be this year. (Monday 16 March 2020; 05:26)
