Re: Me I Am Mariah revisited (87,297) (87,316) by RibbonB from USA Aww, not the baby's song. It's cute, but I get it. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 18:13)

Caution 2019 (87,315) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand So all the reviews are raves, Mariah has had a stellar year in terms of publicity, but is this enough to catapult that album back up the charts? I read on this thread that With You was holding at #8 on the AC chart. Radio just won't play her anymore. How can we turn this around? (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:59)

Re: Rodney Jerkins (87,296) (87,314) by B from USA Never Say Never has ballads on it produced by Jerkins, doesn't it? (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:27)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,302) (87,313) by B from USA I emailed it to you. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:25)

Re: AIWFCIY #2 (87,305) (87,312) by B from USA Agreed. Epic and Mariah are going to go out next year to commerate the anniversary of the release of AIWFCIY and Merry Christmas. I hope they reissue the cd single for the nostalgia. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:17)

Re: Being in your 20s (87,307) (87,311) by B from USA Mariah made some questionable decisions during Stella's reign of terror both professionally and personally but she finally seems to be in a good place. Her career is back on track and she seems to be genuinely happy. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:10)

"Glitter" movie commercial / "Firecracker" (87,310) by Billy from Greece I remember reading that on the initial trailers of "Glitter" you could hear either the original version of "Loverboy" sampling "Firecracker" or just "Firecracker". I just found this so it verifies it. Not sure if it is just the sample or the original "Loverboy" though. As I re-watch the trailer, I think that it is the original "Loverboy" that is played towards the end because the sample is slowed down (compared to the original "Firecraker") and you can hear parts of the vocals as we now know them (namely, the opening of the song before the verses). This is very intriguing because I can somehow imagine how the melody of the chorus would fit on top of the "Firecracker" sample. You can actually sort of sing it following the sample's melodic direction. To be honest, I think I prefer the "Candy" sample, though I can see why a coherent melody was not as prominent in the chorus of "Loverboy" with "Candy" as its basis. Maybe it's the familiarity factor, maybe it's because I've associated "Firecracker" with that other lady's inferior song, I don't know, but I still love "Loverboy" as it is. Interesting discovery, nonetheless. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:48)

Re: AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (87,304) (87,309) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here in Germany it's still at number 2. Like in the UK right? Next year it has to be number one. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:25)

Re: Christmas (87,303) (87,308) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mara first I want to say happy belated birthday to you. You must be very happy with the lovely presents. Unfortunately I have no experiences with a meet and great for Mariah. But I can completely understand what you mean with super excited. I've been a fan and admirer for Mariah since 95. So I grew up with her too. It's like you said, it's one big lifetime dream to meet the woman who is there for one for so long. Somehow MC is like a close friend because she's a part of our life with her music and so on. I mean the longtime fans. Anyway I'm sure you'll find a nice outfit for Mariah. You'll look beautiful with everything. Don't be too nervous. But I understand that it's almost a bit frightening. Your thought what would happen if Mariah has a bad day could be mine, if I had a meet and great. But that won't happen. I know on this board are some members who have already had the meet and great. It's always interesting to read those experiences. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:23)

Re: Being in your 20s (87,283) (87,307) by Licia from USA I can see that as what happened, but when did you grow up and grow out of that phase? Mariah is almost 50 now with small children. IMO she shouldn't still be making those silly decisions especially since they could affect her children. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 14:14)

Re: Christmas (87,303) (87,306) by anonymous from UK I met her via a meet and greet when she came to Cardiff. It was a cool experience, I mean you don't get much time with her, it's kind of a blink and you'll miss it sort of situation, but the picture I had taken with her is immaculate and I adore it. It was worth it for that pic alone. Just treat her as she is - a human being. It really is just an in, have pic, leave kinda thing, so you won't spend any significant amount of time with her for it to make you think less of her. One day I'd like to meet MC for real and actually hang out with her and chat about life things, not even necessarily about her music, but just like life. A guy can dream.

Re: AIWFCIY #2 (87,291) (87,305) by enwar00 from usa I agree with you. I think they are going to pull out all the stops next year to try and make it happen. Make it happen. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 05:40)

AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (87,304) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway For the second year in a row, AIWFCIY is #1 on the VG-lista Topp 20, Norway's official music chart. AIWFCIY is the only song by Mariah to have reached #1 in Norway. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 05:35)

Christmas (87,303) by Mara from United States Well, I have to vent and I have to vent to real MC fans and my MCA family. My birthday is Christmas Eve and for my birthday and Christmas gift, my husband got me second row tickets to Mariah's last Vegas show this leg, on February 21st. Well, if that wasn't enough, he splurged on the Meet and Greet. Just one meet and greet of course as he is a fan but not a big enough one to spend the amount for another M&G ticket. Now, I have loved and adored this woman since VOL, since 1990, I was 14-15 years old. While I am beyond ecstatic with this dream like once in a lifetime opportunity and literally lifelong dream, I am terrified. I feel like I have looked up to this woman/girl as I have grown with Mariah, I am nervous to actually meet her. I feel like if she is having a bad night, I don't want that being the impression I leave with. I don't know if anyone met her on this board through a M&G before, but I really am a nervous wreck over this. I am no fancy 5th Ave fan, no LA fancy fan, just a regular fan that had someone charge the extra feature and will pay for a while for it, lol. I am nervous about it all. I may sound crazy, but this is someone I literally felt like I knew all or most of my life and to finally actually get to meet them, I am dying inside. Has anyone on here met MC through a meet and greet? I'm stressing on what they wear, what they say. I have nothing in my closet I can wear next to Mariah Carey. I am beyond excited and feel like I am going to pass out when I finally see her but I just wanted to know if anyone else has any tips for me or real experiences with this? Thank you in advance.

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,288) (87,302) by Jamie from UK Yes please Jamino_78@outlook.com (Sunday 30 December 2018; 04:44)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,288) (87,301) by Tevin from USA Please B may I get a copy. tevin_eubanks@yahoo.com thanks. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 04:21)

Apologies (87,300) by B from USA Eric, I apologize for the barrage of messages. I'm on break from school and like I always do during difficult times in my life I turn to Mariah's music and visiting this site to discuss Mariah and her music and all things. I'd also like to thank you for doing what you do and being who you are. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:41)

Re: Rodney Jerkins (87,293) (87,299) by SM from Citizen of the World I agree. MIAM is also my least favorite album of hers. I don't know what it is about the whole era, I could never get into it. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:41)

Re: With You (87,292) (87,298) by SM from Citizen of the World Fingers crossed. Hopefully everyone is still streaming. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:38)

Re: Me I Am Mariah revisited (87,281) (87,297) by Hector from Mexico I agree with you in everything. However I can't stand "One more try" and "Supernatural". (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:17)

Re: Rodney Jerkins (87,293) (87,296) by Bobby A from United States The reason for that is Rodney Jerkins is not accustomed to writing and producing ballads. He is known for his uptempo hard hitting R&B beats. The Boy Is Mine is probably his slowest beat he had ever produced before You're Mine. You're Mine shows how Rodney Jerkins was able to contribute his R&B instrumentation to what MC was singing to him. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:17)

Re: Me I Am Mariah revisited (87,284) (87,295) by RibbonB from USA Yes indeed. And she came through with fresh and new this time. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:16)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,288) (87,294) by Bobby A from United States That's great B. Can you send me a copy to mercyjames678@gmail.com? Thank you. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 02:02)

Rodney Jerkins (87,293) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) His production on MIAM was the weakest out of all of the producers on that album in my opinion. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 00:46)

With You (87,292) by B from USA With You is still holding steady at #8 on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs chart. I think it's going to be a sleeper hit. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 00:37)
