| Me too. Looking In is my life's theme song. Such a sad song that really displays how miserable MC was at that time. |

Re: Chapters (95,700) (95,709)

| I really enjoyed the book. It was a bit overly political at times, but her stories of working the bar scene for years was great, and the meanings behind her songs was great. And the audio book was brilliant as she was a great narrator. As for my favourites, her first three albums are pretty much untouchable. I'd have to probably go with Under the Pink, as Pretty Good Year is my favourite song of hers. When it bursts into raging grunge for ten seconds, then dampers down again - it's extraordinarily moving. |

Looking In / TMOMC (95,708)

It looks like MC will be talking about "Looking in". On her Insta there's a short clip. I can't wait to read the book, I'm more than excited. Right now it feels like I rediscover Mariah again.   It's a great feeling. |

Okay, the Someday part - the performance was awesome, but I always go for the song I like the least for the skip part. Which also means that if I don't have any skips, every track, even the ones I'm not too fond of, still brings something special to the tracklisting for me.
The Boy (I Need You) part - yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Whatever you say. I still feel like part of you secretly likes it - that subconsciously you know it's not the worst song on the album, let alone ever, but that since you have so gone out of your way on this board to declare your supposed disdain for it that you likely realized there's no turning back.  |

Hey Edward. I heard the snippets and can share my thoughts. Spoiler alert for those that want to hear the album fresh.
I Pray sounds good from what I heard. This was one I had always wanted to hear. I'm told Paul was given Mariah's vocal reference and never released it.
HWGRA - The production sounds dated and the hook didn't grab me. The vocal is like a blast from the past, but from what I heard, wasn't a song I would miss hearing again. The same with Last Night, as both these songs have a Motown/Jackson 5 sound. Hook didn't grab me either and from what I heard wouldn't have fit Daydream, but I will reserve full judgement when I hear the tracks in their entirety.
Loverboy - Lambs will be divided on this one, as it's the most poppy sounding lead uptempo single of her career versus the more r&b, bouncy version we got. It cut off before the vocal really started to kick in.
Cool On You - A super short clip but sounded like a sure fire hit. Makes sense as the approach for E=MC2 was to only make singles and no album tracks.
I heard a clip of Can You Hear Me but to me, Out On My Own sounded better because of the tone she was serving during the Rainbow era.
The ballads will be the highlights from what I heard and for anyone wanting classic 90s Mariah ballads. This is your album.
I didn't hear Mesmerized as the clips were taken down by the time I tried to get to that one. |

The Meaning of Mariah - first week sales (95,702)
by Tyler from USA
(Wednesday 23 September 2020; 03:50) | | |
| I've followed Mariah's first week sales ever since I was a lamb back in 96. That said, I have no idea what we should expect for first week book sales. I've read that Jessica Simpson sold 500k since it's original release earlier this year. I remember she did a huge promotional push pretty similar to an album release. I realized with Covid things are different but very interesting to see little promotion planned for this book. The only ones that are aware the book is coming out are fans. Also, there aren't any leaks which is great but odd. It's released in less then a week and we have no content around the Jeter or Nick Cannon stories. Typically leak stories adds hype to a book release. That said, I wonder if Mariah is even concerned with topping the book charts. |

Re: New documentary (95,696) (95,701)
by RJJ12 from USA
(Wednesday 23 September 2020; 03:37) | | |
| I watched this one and meant to post it. It's really good. They chronicle all of her interviews in what appear to be chronological order from her debut up until Music Box. It's almost like going back to 1990 and watching her rise to become one of the biggest artists of all time. I usually fast forward the performances but some of them in this documentary have audio from interviews woven it. It's worth watching and very well done. |

You skip Someday on Unplugged? Get out of my sight lol. Also clarification: I didn't put Boy as my CB skip song, as I genuinely forgot about it as it has been deleted and erased from all playlists and versions of CB I have uploaded to iTunes. |

The Glitter era - a documentary (95,692)
by RJJ12 from USA
(Tuesday 22 September 2020; 17:34) | | |
| This was really well put together. I hope she goes rogue and sends Loverboy to radio stations with a Drake feature. I saw an Unsung on Loyd where he was going to radio stations himself and providing them with his single to play and it started to chart. He made a statement that he thought that was illegal to do. |
