Re: GTFO lyric help (83,902) (83,906) by Bill from the UK You're right. The single should have been YDKWTD or Make It Look Good, which was one the best things she had written in years. That, like Migrate, should have been a single. (Friday 21 September 2018; 11:14)

Re: A technical analysis of "Without You” (83,904) (83,905) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still love "Without you" so much and always will. I remember when I heard it on the radio in 94 for the first time and I was totally blown away by the emotion and the voice. The song was played every evening on the radio. Good times. I do like the original version a lot, but Mariah's version is a highlight from the first note on. When she sings that low tone and starts the first chorus: eargsam. (Friday 21 September 2018; 10:22)

A technical analysis of "Without You” (83,904) by Bill from the UK Um... Harry Nilsson neither composed nor was the original artist for Without You. It was originally by Badfinger and it was composed by Pete Ham and Tom Evans (of that group). Mariah's version appeared in 1993, not 1992, but was released as a single worldwide in early 1994. Also, the terms "shouty" and "twiddly bits" aren't exactly a "technical analysis". What is that nonsense about this being a live recording? Is that in reference to the video? Mariah was indeed on her own in the studio when this was recorded, as she is with all her recordings. As for Mariah "making it her own", she actually stuck incredibly close to the Nilsson's arrangement, and her remakes always tend to stick to the original arrangements. What rubbish. Nice to see it getting some love though I suppose. (Friday 21 September 2018; 07:09)

Re: When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) (83,903) by 123 from USA These tactics don't work or else she would have had a number 1 again a long time ago. Even if it hits #1 on iTunes that's not enough for a decent Hot 100 placement. GTFO got a remarkable response and sat at #2 for a bit before falling off. For any song to succeed the general public has to pick up on it. The first single will have to be great and she and the label will have to push and promote the hell out of it and not give up on it so easily. Songs take a while to take off these days and sometimes throwing random songs out without any push or promo become pointless. It took Havana a loooong time after its release to climb the charts but it slowly did once people heard it and hit #2 and people are still playing that song like it came out yesterday. The buzz song did its job and I"m excited for the album. Those that did hear it that aren't lambs are newly interested in her, but they will forget about it since there there is no promo as there was never any intention of pushing it unless the public started buying it like crazy.

Re: GTFO lyric help (83,886) (83,902) by 123 from USA I have been battling with it as well. I think it's wind as I too think she would have winked in the video if that was the lyric for effect. I wouldn't mind a lyric video or at least the lyrics in the album insert this time. She never gave us the lyrics to the Me I Am Mariah album like she promised she would. I'm still upset it never got a chance. A whole album. You're Mine got a decent push from her and the label but she gave up on it too soon and it wasn't the right single for spring, an uptempo would have been better suited. She could have saved that as a 4th potential single in the fall. (Friday 21 September 2018; 05:46)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,899) (83,901) by 123 from USA Can you image both of them on that song. It would have been a great single for sure. So sad that Toni was going through legal trouble and had to decline. It made me happy to hear that Mariah reached out to another big female mega star who she could have been threatened by and asked to do a song. Now I know why Toni has always defended her. She said they were even neighbors at one point. I wonder if they ever visited each other and sang a few lines together. (Friday 21 September 2018; 05:26)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,898) (83,900) by Licia from USA I can actually picture Toni on After Tonight. Her voice being so mellow would have fit in nicely with the vibe of that type of song. (Friday 21 September 2018; 03:49)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,871) (83,899) by Billy from England, UK I agree, I love her voice. Would be an amazing song for sure. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 21:25)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,893) (83,898) by 123 from USA I wasn't referring to you Licia. You aren't on the "my posts will always be negative" bandwagon. I was just referring to how this board can at times be taken over by negativity when jewels of info like this that came out last spring end up being missed because of the bashing. It was a great read if you got a chance to read the article and Toni would have fit perfectly on the Rainbow album. If I would have had to add her on one of the existing tracks on that album I would have had her on After Tonight. Perfect fit. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 21:21)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,890) (83,897) by Musti from UK Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea this was ever in the works. Toni is immensely talented. Her command of the contralto range and her perfectly-timed growls are practically unmatched. Long As I Live is probably my most listened to song of this year. In the past she has stated how much she would like to duet with Mariah. I would love to see this happen. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 19:39)

"Triumphant (acoustic)" (83,896) by Billy from Greece A real transformation. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 19:14)

Re: I love this (83,887) (83,895) by Dav from Ireland You're welcome. I'm obsessed with it. Why didn't they release this version day 1? Lambs would have enjoyed it much more. Never thought I have Triumphant on repeat. Her vocals are everything on it. Hair raising. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 18:19)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,892) (83,894) by RibbonB from USA I'm not so whereabouts a diet with Toni, but I forgot her song Long as I Live. It's nice to hear new TH from older divas still. Her video is also great. I like the colors and umbrellas. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 18:10)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,890) (83,893) by Licia from USA I thought we were discussing the topic of Toni and a duet pretty positively. Anyway I had no idea Toni was supposed to work with Mariah on Rainbow. Thanks for the info I guess. I'm confused as hell right now. Lol. *shrugs* (Thursday 20 September 2018; 17:15)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,890) (83,892) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I personally would love a duet with Toni and Mariah. I don't care how relevant it is perceived to be by the world. I love them both. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 16:03)

Re: When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) (83,891) by Billy from England, UK I will do this but Mariah herself needs to promote it non stop because it won't get no where otherwise. I want her to get more number ones but she needs to help like we do. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 15:36)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,881) (83,890) by 123 from USA You guys are late. Mariah asked Toni to collaborate for the Rainbow album but Toni couldn't due to her bankruptcy as she revealed in an interview for her "Sex and cigarettes" album here. Surprised no one brought it up but the narrative on this board is to bash Mariah instead of discussing such an interesting topic such as this. Another fact dispelling the myth that Mariah doesn't like working with other female artists. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 15:11)

Re: When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) (83,889) by TJ from Norway Why? (Thursday 20 September 2018; 13:58)

Re: When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) (83,888) by Tameka walker from United states I am down with it. I just got an accout with Apple Music and I need some one to show me how to use it. If I knew how to use it I would be down for buying on YouTube. I have always been a huge fan of hers. When 9/11 happened all I could think about was getting to Target to buy Mariah 's album which was Glitter. I love her music. I've never seen her live but I would like to. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 13:37)

Re: I love this (83,882) (83,887) by Gilles from Malta Thank you. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 07:42)

GTFO lyric help (83,886) by Shezz from Pk Is she saying "fly off with the wind byebye baby" or "fly off with a wink"? Reading all sorts of lyrics online but I feel like she would have not resisted the chance to wink in the video if she were saying that. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 06:55)

Re: GTFO reviews keep coming (83,880) (83,885) by Bill from the UK If MC15 sells 66 million copies I will eat my hat. (Thursday 20 September 2018; 06:28)

When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) by Bobby A from United States We need to make With You #1 on iTunes on October 5. If everybody bought 2-4 copies, streamed the video constantly all day for the first 7 days, and request on the radio every hour, we can give With You an amazing Hot 100 debut on the 11th. Let's get MC back at the top. Let's show MC some love. Who is down With MC? (Thursday 20 September 2018; 03:23)

Re: GTFO I effing love it and so does everybody its (83,878) (83,883) by Dav from Ireland This is such a great time to be a lamb, which can sometimes be rare. Can we not focus on the good things happening? Get over the video and enjoy the song and the excitement for With You and MC15. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 23:27)

I love this (83,882) by Dav from Ireland Really re-framed the song for me. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 23:19)
