3 albums (112,174) by TJ from Norway
Music Box will always be on any "albums I adore" list. I know I should say Emotions, but I love her Merry Christmas and her debut album, so I guess that's my list.

I would love to keep Emotions because of the song If It's Over, but I still haven't been able to make my own list.

Defo Emotions for the soul, Music Box because it's my favourite and Butterfly for the gangster in me.

Michael Jackson collab (112,170) by Lambi from USA
Mariah has so many choreographable songs that she can't dance to either, though. LMAO. But yes, I've thought deeply about this too. In 2008, MJ released the Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition, which included remixes featuring various artists. I bet she was originally intended to be part of it. The remixed tracks were:

• The Girl Is Mine - will.i.am
• P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) - will.i.am
• Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - Akon
• Beat It - Fergie
• Billie Jean - Kanye West

The Girl Is Mine was already a duet with Paul McCartney, so by process of elimination, that would've left her with either: Baby Be Mine, Thriller, Human Nature, or The Lady in My Life.

Only Human Nature and Thriller are true classics (Mariah said it's one of his classics). For more context clues, she mentioned they were doing something "really huge" for him and that their collab would sort of "usurp" the situation."Usurp" means to lessen the importance of something, so I'd have to go with Thriller. It's the bigger hit and would make more sense that they'd want to protect it.

Honestly though, I think they just didn't want Mariah involved. How were the other 4 artists allowed, but not her? Michael handpicked the biggest stars from 2005-08. Sony probably resented that she was having massive success with Def Jam at the time. In my opinion, Thriller will always belong to Michael, regardless of how incredible Mariah's ad-libs and background vocals might have been. Just like how literally no one even knows about the other remixes.

And before my haters come for me, these are just my opinions based on what we can gather. Take a chill pill. I'm allowed to have them.

3 albums (112,167) by Lambi from USA
To maximize her full artistry, I'm picking one from from each decade:
• 90s: Daydream
• 00s: The Emancipation of Mimi

Lumping 2010s and 2020s together since there's only 3 albums to choose from, so the final one would have to be Here For It All.

Glitter - it just has to be there because if it was released in 2015, it would be a banger.

Butterfly - hello, it's Butterfly.

Caution - perfect vibe and production.

3 albums (112,163) by Bill from the UK
I'd rather it be 3 albums we can erase from her discography than save. This is so tricky as MC's albums are good for different reasons. Like vocally I'd select the debut, Emotions and Merry Christmas. Lyrically it would be Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Memoirs. In terms of end to end enjoyment it'd be Music Box, Daydream and Emancipation. In terms of artistry it'd be Here For It All, Glitter, and Caution. So, yeh. All of them lol.

O Holy Night (112,161) by Dove from United States
I love the way she sings the first "Oh" in O Holy Night on the Merry Christmas II You version. I hate the background cheering on it.

I wish she'd do a Halloween song for my Halloween party playlist. Or a 5 or 6 song Halloween album. Ballroom Blitz? I remember when I was a little kid I would watch Wayne's World and wish Mariah sang that song. Ha ha.

Happy Halloween everyone. I hope everyone has fun tonight.

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,157) by Lambi from USA
A playlist I use as a secret weapon for pulling people deeper into MC's discography. It's a thrill seeing them secretly shazam it. It's made up of non-single deep cuts from each of Mariah's album (excluding holiday):

1. Vanishing (MC)
2. So Blessed (Emotions)
3. Music Box (MB)
4. Underneath The Stars (Daydream)
5. Close My Eyes (Butterfly)
6. Bliss (Rainbow)
7. Reflections (Glitter)
8. The One (Charm)
9. Joy Ride (TEOM)
10. Love Story (E=MC2)
11. Inseparable (MOAIA)
12. Dedicated (MIAMTEC)
13. One Mo' Gen (Caution)
14. Nothing Is Impossible (HFIA)

Curious what would yours look like?

Article: Mariah Carey fans still excited to see the icon in Perth (112,156) by Lambi from USA
Mariah, at her core, is the discretion queen. I remember she fought tooth and nail when they threatened to release her private medical records. I'm kind of shocked she did a whole press release about having bipolar. Morgan already exposed her way back, so it wouldn't really make a difference if Stella did it. It's kind of like an open secret. If she does have fibromyalgia, I wouldn't be shocked, as she totally exhibits the characteristics of the disease but it's also something the whole world doesn't need to be knowing.

Let's say that for some reason everyone on earth forgot all of MCs albums except 3 of them. Which 3 albums from her catalogue would you keep for everyone to enjoy? And why?

HFIA Japan (112,154) by Edward from USA
Just got my copy of "HFIA" (Japan Edition). Surprisingly, it has 13 tracks. Track 4 is "Sugar Sweet" (Solo Version), and it's different from the solo version one on YouTube. It seems like Mariah went back to the studio and added an almost lazy-sounding short sort of verse in place of Kehlani's part. Track 12 is "Type Dangerous" (DJ Snake Remix), I love this one. And Track 13 is "Sugar Sweet" ft. Kehlani and Shenseea.

The most creditably review rated (112,153) by Giovanni from USA
I love the album as well, Mariah gave some of her best singing on this album. Her voice was in great shape and she sounds so healthy especially her tone. My favs are "When Christmas comes", "Oh Santa" and "The first Noel". I wanted a whole song for "Born is the King" interlude. Mariah was meant to sing Christmas songs.

In your feelings (112,152) by Giovanni from USA
Is such a good song and definitely has Anderson's production all over it. It gives me Silk Sonic and Bruno vibes as well especially in the chorus. This is a song Mariah can sing live and I'd love to see her perform it more. I just wish she sounded better because she sounds so horse and tired. I can hear Daydream Mariah or Memoirs Mariah singing "In your feelings". To me this song is another "It's a wrap" and I love it.

MCIIY is so good that I could play it any time of year and not even be bothered that it is a Christmas album.
