2002-2003 what should have been Charmbracelet's singes? (106,128) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
You got Me feat. Freeway and Jay-Z - She gives the same vocal style in this song which went to #3, "I Know What You Want/Where I Belong".

I Only Wanted or Bringing on the Heartache

The One (original)

Through the Rain, show that vocal, excite people (*the finale single dhalings*), close it out with the emotional song - Portrait, Outside. etc.

I think as a lead single "Thought the Rain" wasn't what people wanted, we were still only coming off the dance beats of Rainbow and the Glitter soundtrack. I think an upbeat/dance song from Charmbracelet would have been celebrated at the time.

What are your thoughts?

Against All Odds (106,127) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Why did MC chose to cover this song? I have always thought this was MC still wanting Derek Jeter. I would love for her to find love again with another man who plays sports. I promise this is my last message until after the eclipse.

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,126) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
You know what's funny? I remember the exact highway on-ramp I was taking on March Rd. headed to Downtown Ottawa when suddenly "It's Like that" came on the radio for the very first time. I was stunned there was a new MC single and almost drove off the over pass bridge. The DJ radio introduced the new song for the very first time with these exact words: "I don't know why she keeps trying, but we have to play it, so here it is." And boom clap clap clap the new legendary era began. That DJ will go one to be playing new, beloved, Mariah songs for the next 4 years (from "It's Like That" to "Obsessed"). He must have felt like a fool after the fact. It's one of those Mariah memories of hearing new music for the first time glued to my heart and brain.

Article: Fans suspect Mariah is "teasing" a new era of music (106,125) by Robert-Anthony from United States
MC is getting ready to make us so very happy soon. The fact that she is playfully engaging with one insider account and posting beautiful pics every week says a new era announcement eminent.

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,122) by Robert-Anthony from United States
This week we will celebrate the best album rollout of MC's career 19 years ago. I have so many memories of TEOM leading up to the release day. It will always be MC's most celebrated album release that makes other album releases today seem small in comparison. How many streaming records would TEOM have broken that first week? Will MC ever release another album like TEOM again?

Mariah and Janet (106,121) by Jamie from UK
Yes I prefer The One to Boy but both are no where near as radio friendly as Janet's Jam. Charmbracelet is more of a fans album only, I'm grateful for it as I am with all her work. But I feel at that point when her career had taken a bit of a knock she should have been encouraged to do more radio friendly main stream music to reconnect with the public. Oh and don't get me started on Le register de whistle lol.

Mariah and Janet (106,120) by Robert-Anthony from United States
If we don't get a MC and Janet duet within the next five years, it will be a total shame. The time is right for one now. Both ladies are due new album releases.

Mariah and Janet (106,119) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
"The One" would have been a better choice. And it was the original choice. The video for Boy was for "The One" but I think the label made her change it because I remember a video where someone asks her about The One and she says something like you should ask the label I want it to be a single. I also love the remix of The One.

Mariah and Janet (106,118) by Jamie from UK
Janet's song is far superior than Boy, it's upbeat and catchy. Whilst I like Boy, it lacks something and wasn't radio friendly.

The elephant in the room (106,116) by Robert-Anthony from United States
I believe we were really close to getting a MC Tory Lanez collaboration because of who he had collaborated with from JoJo to Kehlani to Chris Brown. A MC and Tory Lanez collaboration would have been a stone cold hit. Sadly, he assaulted Megan Thee Stallion right at the height of his collaborations with everybody topping the Urban charts.

The elephant in the room (106,114) by Stacey from USA
MC's collabs with Diddy have stood the test of time. I don't think anyone can touch the Fantasy remix with ODB no matter what happens with Diddy. That song singlehandedly changed the music scene in the 1990s. Same goes for Honey, debuts at #1 just like Fantasy. Nothing can touch those songs.

Bryson Tiller's new album (106,111) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Bryson Tiller's 4th album was released today. I can only assume that the duet he wanted to do with Mariah was replaced with Persuasion with Victoria Monet. I guess MC couldn't make time in the studio to collaborate. His new album is fire though. There goes another missed high profile duet.

Both Diddy and R Kelly are creative [musical geniuses] at what they did and how they affected the music industry and changed its landscape forever, [fact]. That said it doesn't excuse the allegations if true. However, artists like Mariah and a bevy more of others they worked with shouldn't be dragged into the mess - that's business and I highly doubt they were aware of these [men's] "extracurricular activities" so to speak in their personal lives. Like the saying goes "[you] don't mix [business] with [pleasure]". History also has proven that [geniuses] tend to fight demons in private and have a dark version of themselves always hidden behind the scenes, a [ying-yang]', Jerkyl [sic] and Hyde scenario.

I don't think it will all. MC continues to make millions from the Fantasy remix, Honey and Breakdown each year. Sadly, Diddy has already spent his millions from royalties and producer payments from these three songs. He is in a lot of trouble and will be another music mogul who will lose everything.

Ok so everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I'm asking this question not for your opinion about if Diddy is guilty or innocent, but I'm curious if the allegations about illegal activity turns out to be true (particularly the traffic allegation), how do you think that would affect some of Mariah's music?

I know some people won't even listen to BGK from Memoirs because of RK, but songs like Honey and the remix has Diddy all over it, and those are big popular songs in her discography. I ask this question out of curiosity, no answer is wrong or incorrect, everyone is entitled to their views and opinions.

New single (106,106) by Libra Lamb from USA
I hope we get a fresh new single that radio will be dying to get their hands on, like the old days. One can dream, right? It's been too long since the last one. I thought GTFO and With You were gonna be big hits and sadly was disappointed. I guess we'll see.

Musicals (106,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I agree with you. Glitter is not a musical at all. Just a music movie with drama and autobiographical elements. Hmm the worst, it's really not that bad. I still have it on DVD. It was my first DVD together with "A river runs through it" back then in 2001. Memories.
