Re: Everything fades away (93,144) (93,145) by RibbonB from USA I've never heard of her. Lol. Did she do Anita justice? Have you been watching the Masked Singer? They've been doing the legendary divas bad on that show, first dropping Chaka and then Dionne within the first couple weeks on the show. I think they intentionally don't hide their voices, first because they are so distinctive and they may on want to appear briefly. I think it's great to see them on tv anyway since there are so few vehicles for them to be seen on tv and to those numbers of people. Anita's voice is ultra distinctive too, she'd be so easy to identify. (Monday 2 March 2020; 23:33)

Re: Everything fades away (93,133) (93,144) by Licia from USA That IG snippet kind of makes me what to go give Everything Fades Away another shot. Kind of. They sounded really good. Lol. I'm not a huge JoJo fan, but she's super talented and I enjoyed a couple of remakes she has done. She floored me when I heard her sing Anita Baker's Caught Up In The Rapture.

Sack the stylist (93,143) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) As far as the hair she has been using a wig. As far clothes I feel she should keep Michael for one of kind pieces such as big award shows, and functions, but she should also bring back the person or the people who styled her during Idol. She looked fresh, and fashion forward with doing too much and it worked. (Monday 2 March 2020; 21:20)

Re: Rainbow interlude (93,140) (93,142) by Bill from the UK Lol, no I just always call the song that now haha. Thanks for sharing the clip, I never knew she did that. Agree TGIFY was dreadful. (Monday 2 March 2020; 20:37)

Re: Sack the stylist (93,125) (93,141) by Stacey from USA Agree 100%. (Monday 2 March 2020; 19:35)

Re: Rainbow interlude (93,137) (93,140) by enwar00 from usa Coincidentally just yesterday I read that she in fact did perform the Rainbow interlude during some of the #1 to Infinity shows. Here's a clip. I think it sounds pretty. Wouldn't you know, it was in that same spot you mention, right before that atrocious version of TGIFY. Did you think the shows were crap, or are you just referencing Licia's appropriately coined term to that song? I went to a #1 to Infinity show and really enjoyed it. It was so nice to hear some of those songs she hadn't performed in decades. (Monday 2 March 2020; 19:19)

The retro-futuristic (disco) route (93,139) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga have shown with their newest releases that the way to move forward is by giving familiar genres such as disco a modern spin. They have proven to be successful in their approach so far, and since many of us have been clamoring for an upbeat Mariah lead single for a long time, could this route be the way to go? Or maybe if this approach is too brash and hard for her, then maybe still go modern disco but in a more twee, cheerful way like Meghan Trainor's Evil Twin? Mariah does the genre quite well after all (YDKWTD, ITC, Meteorite). (Monday 2 March 2020; 18:55)

Re: Sack the stylist (93,135) (93,138) by Dove from United States I like the pink dress a lot. (Monday 2 March 2020; 13:17)

Re: Rainbow interlude (93,134) (93,137) by Bill from the UK Agree. It would have been good had she done so during the #1 to Crapfinity residency, before she sung Thank God I Found You. As that song was just the chorus, it would have been good to flesh it out with the Rainbow interlude, which led onto TGIFY on the album. (Monday 2 March 2020; 13:09)

Re: Sack the stylist (93,135) (93,136) by Tijl from Belgium The dresses are quite alright but I don't care for the bodysuit. It looks silly and out of place. (Monday 2 March 2020; 13:03)

Re: Sack the stylist (93,125) (93,135) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Her" style in the short clips [is] also not my taste. The stylist could really do better. Mariah with volumenius hair, classy dress or jeans is just gorgours and beautiful. But I do concentrate of the song. Lol. (Monday 2 March 2020; 10:37)

Rainbow interlude (93,134) by Billy from Greece I would love to see this interlude incorporated into her live sets. (Monday 2 March 2020; 08:22)

Re: Everything fades away (93,132) (93,133) by Bobby A from United States Is MC preparing us for something special later this year with a greatest hits compilation? Maybe The Hits and For The Nostalgia is coming in September. Wal-Mart and Target are doing a lot of exclusive artist vinyl records lately. I can only hope Mariah Carey is going to be re-released on vinyl this year too. (Monday 2 March 2020; 02:59)

Everything fades away (93,132) by Dove from United States That backstage performance was so beautiful. (Monday 2 March 2020; 00:35)

Re: Evergreens (93,117) (93,131) by Norman from USA No one is scoffing at it. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 23:39)

TEOM vs E=MC2 (93,130) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I can appreciate both albums for what they represent. However for me I listen to E=MC2 when I am craving dessert or looking for fun vibes. I listen to TEOM when I need a full course meal or when I am craving a little bit everything all together. All in all it depends on my mood, or certain memories, that is how I determine which of the two albums will satisfy my appetite. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 23:26)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,118) (93,129) by Tijl from Belgium I am a press conference, you're a conversation. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 20:28)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,115) (93,128) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I still play TEOM love a good portion of the album - there are some songs I skip. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 19:48)

Obsessed (93,127) by Andrew from the United Kingdom On a lighter note, I have fallen in love with another Mariah song. I liked Obsessed when it came out but I didn't love it. I now love it and I can't stop listening to it. It's a genuinely brilliant song. And it does not sound dated in the slightest. It even sounds like it could be released now. In fact, I would offer that if it were to have been released now it would do much better than it did way back when. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 19:26)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,118) (93,126) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love EFA so much. One of her best songs ever. Agree the snippets are very enjoyable. Can't stop listening. That song is magical. Jojo was also great. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 19:18)

Sack the stylist (93,125) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Ever eternally hated for my opinions, I have stated I think the way Mariah is styled now (hair, make-up, wardrobe) is really off point. Am I truly the only one that thinks this? I, personally, would like to see hair with volume, wavy hair, less clown make-up with more natural tones and fashionable clothing - including pants. And definitely I don't want to see her tits anymore. Or ever again. That Everything Fades Away snippet video... if you don't admit all you are focussing on are the girls hanging out, well, I won't believe you. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 18:57)

Re: Evergreens (93,117) (93,124) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Finally, some sense. Mariah in the 90's in the UK was very successful. Number 1's in the UK are not like in the US. To achieve it in the United States is a feat, based on sales and radio play (right?). In the UK in the 90s, number one records were primarily for BritPop bands which were the in-thing (think Oasis and even Spice Girls) and one hit wonders and gimmick records. That Mariah was top 5/top 10 for most of the 90's is incredible. During Daydream Mariah was incredibly popular and well thought of (anyone here go to the London Daydream show?). Unfortunately (for her popularity), in 1997, two things happened. First, she took her clothes off and never really put them back on again. Nobody wanted it from her, nobody respected it. Secondly, the general view was that she was trying to be ghetto (for want of a better word). And in the 90's nobody here was going to get on board with that, musically. So she became a source of derision - which, actually, really upset me for ages, and I spent years defending her, even deluding myself like the delulons on here still, worryingly, do. Add the vanity project of Glitter into the mix and Mariah in the UK was pretty much over. Until TEOM... I was more surprised than anybody. The British actually started to like her again. She was a credible artist with style and a good attitude - not the vain, attention-seeking titty-popping, gangsta's moll wannabe everyone thought she was. Alas, she then met Nick Carter and everything fell apart, once more, and she's been treading water ever since. Still, she can still sell out arenas and I'm glad she has toured the various countries of the UK rather than just doing London. It's in the top 5 of music markets in the world so paying attention to it again is a good idea. I really hope Mariah does not fuck up Brighton. I really would like the UK to fall in love her, again. Putting the tits away and getting a new stylist would really help. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 18:52)

Re: What career achievement makes you most proud? (93,114) (93,123) by Andrew from the United Kingdom As per usual on this site, when someone asks people to name the *1* thing of x or y, the muppet brigade brings out lists. Lists are mostly meaningless and even more so in this case. Mariah's biggest accomplishments are well known and an *exhaustible* list. Almost nobody here needs them llisted. Chances are if someone is on this site they have followed Mariah's career well enough to be able to recite them in chronological and backwards alphabetical order. You completely miss the point of the survey to simply (and nauseatingly) virtue signal about how much the muppet brigade just-love-Mariah-so-much-ohhhhhhhh-they-simply-can't-chooooooose. If the person who had nominated this topic as a survey of interest had offered that he needs to be educated on simple basics of Mariah's career instead of trying to trying to see if there was a consensus on something purely subjective, you would have been right in there. Muppet. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 18:37)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,115) (93,122) by Aliya from Canada TEOM all the way. This is when she really began to incorporate R&B. Her voice on this album was breath-taking. In my opinion, her voice is much better here than on E=MC2. I can't imagine I would like her as much as I do without TEOM. From Stay the Night to One and Only. I have yet to here [sic] another album like this. It's a classic. And it's exactly my style of music. This album is really when I became a hardcore lamb. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 16:27)

Music 2020 (93,121) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am in agreement that Mariah should release a fun uptempo song with a summertime vibe. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 16:02)
