Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,610) (90,611) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. By the first listen it didn't get me. But later, I recognized what a great masterpiece this song really is. Then I had it on repeat too. The end of the song is everything. If Tommy did cry, it's totally understandable.

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,607) (90,610) by Bill from the UK Same happened to me. In fact I used to skip it frequently, then one day I just "got it" and it all clicked into place. I have days when I play nothing but this song over and over again. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 11:58)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,586) (90,609) by Licia from USA Seriously that was my baby daddy from back in the day Devante doing the speaking part on the Beautiful Ones? I knew it wasn't Sisqo. I thought it was Nikio talking. I'm interested to know how she got Devante to do it as well. Now this is making me wonder how the song would have sounded with Jodeci and not Dru Hill. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 10:42)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,599) (90,608) by 123 from USA Originally I thought it might had been somebody from Dru Hill or even Prince. I would have never thought it was Devante from Jodeci. Sisqo said Devante produced the song but I believe Corey Rooney is shown as the producer. Interesting. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 09:16)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,586) (90,607) by Ronnie from California Tommy is a musical artist, so he probably did cry. I remember glancing over that song my first few listens of the Butterfly album. After obsessing over the other tracks, I distinctly had a discombobulated night with that song on repeat - I even fell asleep and woke up with it playing. Maybe it was a dreamer's mind, but I have never been the same since. As a more seasoned lamb, I believe "The Beautiful Ones" was a smart cover choice. The style emphasized her technique, had symbolic lyrics, and maybe somewhat associated her with her legendary peers. By then, everyone knew Mariah is a singer, but she totally trademarked her use of whisper and resonant belts on that album (even if she had been doing it her entire career). Daydream solidified her mastery of it, and Butterfly made it associated with her identity. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 09:01)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,604) (90,606) by Susana from USA Thank you for posting. I don't know how I previously missed this. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 00:50)

Re: People / new music (90,603) (90,605) by B from USA She also has an idea for a new album to follow 2018’s Caution. I think she's going to release the follow up to Caution in spring of 2020 and it will be a summery feel-good album, the perfect album for spring/summer like Caution was the perfect fall/winter album. I hope she continues to work with new co-writers and co-producers like Dev Hynes and No I.D. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 23:09)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,601) (90,604) by The Real Deal from USA Here you go. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 20:46)

People / new music (90,603) by RibbonB from USA Based on this new People article, new music is just an idea. She keeps mentioning her therapeutic memoir though. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 20:23)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,600) (90,602) by Dennis from Miami, FL Someone is simply jealous of her chastity (said in the inflection of "ReRe's got a new boyfriend"/Loverboy). (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 20:00)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,564) (90,601) by Susana from USA Could someone post the link to the video please? (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 16:28)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,582) (90,600) by B from USA Edward, get it together, girl. Mariah is a born again virgin. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 15:00)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,586) (90,599) by B from USA I knew it wasn't Sisqo doing the spoken parts on The Beautiful Ones. I remember getting into a heated debate with my friend about it, lol. Glad to know I was right, lol. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 14:57)

Re: Dev Hynes on working with Mariah in the studio (90,593) (90,598) by B from USA I hope so. Giving Me Life is still on repeat. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 14:51)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,596) (90,597) by Bill from the UK It's interesting because it seems like the Butterfly record really impacted Tommy, though he never said as much in his biography. Mariah said he left her a note saying "butterflies are free to fly - fly away", a line from Somebody Saved My Life Tonight by Elton John, which was then sampled in the Butterfly remix. I guess hearing Butterfly and knowing it was directed at you and how much you're stifling somebody would make you feel dreadful. They had a very complex relationship, I hope the memoirs really delve into their time together properly. But as with everything, there are so many NDAs flying around she probably can't. In other news, please Lord bring the St John the Divine concert with MC25. Amen. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 12:46)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,586) (90,596) by Musti from UK No doubt this song was a dig at Tommy. But Tommy the beautiful one? Really? (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 09:23)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,582) (90,595) by Musti from UK Someone stitch me up please. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 09:20)

(90,594) by Bobby A from United States I would love for MC to film a television special with Dru Hill, Jodeci, Trey Songz, Fabulous, Nas, Joe, Jay Z, Twista, Dev Hynes, Timbaland, Busta Rhymes and Usher. This would be one hot televised concert. Sneak in Toni Braxton and Ariana Grande at the end. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 03:09)

Dev Hynes on working with Mariah in the studio (90,593) by 123 from USA I love it when other producers/songwriters talk about her songwriting/producing talent/genius. He really has a lot to respect for her. They seem pretty close now and I feel like he might be at the helm of a lot of songs on her next album. It makes sense since he was in her insta stuff. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 02:04)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,584) (90,592) by 123 from USA I think she is talking about her younger nephew Michael that barely gets mentioned. The one that Patricia never returned after a weekend visit. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 01:54)

Re: Merry Christmas repacking (90,577) (90,591) by jaker20 from US I want her to also release the acapella performances of AIWFCIY, like the original studio performances, some of the live performances, and the Fallon acapella with The Roots. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 01:02)

Re: Andrew's farewell (90,589) (90,590) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Andrew got banned, because in every message he posted he insulted Mariah. Here is his last message he tried to post: "The work she had done is simply awful. Her face looks totally different. Bulbous even. Her tits are ridiculous. But then I honestly suppose that the fatter she gets the bigger implants she gets to look proportionate." (Monday 12 August 2019; 23:39)

Re: Andrew's farewell (90,585) (90,589) by Edward from USA What happened now? (Monday 12 August 2019; 23:34)

Back to yesterday with pot (90,588) by Lafa from Sweden Mariah, I smoke some pot and I'm back to yesterday as a teen when it was just you and me and all those climaxes. I'm currently digging mega-processed E=MC2. Last Kiss. (Monday 12 August 2019; 22:59)

Re: MC video in Aspen (90,584) (90,587) by RibbonB from USA I doubt it, but she does call Shawn her brother. (Monday 12 August 2019; 21:29)
