Buttery tone (108,438) by Bobby A from United States Which MC songs have that buttery tone? I am having a hard time understanding what some of the board say that MC has a buttery tone. Could MC's short cover of Faith Evan's Soon As I Get Home demonstrate her buttery tone? I love that short song cover. She sings it pitch perfect and beautifully. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 11:31)

Mariah birthday month (108,437) by Bobby A from United States I love I Don't Wanna Cry. It is my favorite because listening to it reminds me of spring. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 08:50) this is a reply to message 108,433

Mariah birthday month (108,433) by Jamie from UK Ok it's approaching Mariah's birthday, or anniversary as she likes to call it. I've looked through her discography to see which singles whether physical, digital or just radio got a March release date. There wasn't many. I Don't Wanna Cry, March 19th 1991 The Roof (Back In Time), March 16th 1998 (UK) We Belong Together, March 15th 2005 Fly Like A Bird, March 13th 2006 A No No, March 4th 2019 Big Energy Remix, March 28th 2022 Out of all her March releases, which is your number one favourite? Mine is The Roof (Back In Time). (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 18:45)

Ribbon (108,436) by Randy from USA I disagree about E=MC2 not being a vocal high, especially Thanx4Nothing, I love that octave change and sustained note at the end. You can't tell me I can't sing when I'm belting that out. And of course, y'all are tired of me saying it, but the final chorus and ad libs of y'all least favorite single Bye Bye are legendary to me. I will give you 5 points for Mine Again which is beautiful. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 00:59) this is a reply to message 108,428

Ribbon (108,428) by Tevin from USA I heard that same thing mentioned by other people, including Mariah herself. But it just doesn't make sense to me, TEOM had WBT, ILT, FLB and of course the gem that is Mine Again (which I personally would say is one of her best vocally sung studio songs in her entire discography). Compare that to Thanks 4 Nothing, and IWYW on E=MC2. The vocals just don't compare. Maybe her voice was more consistent during E=MC2 but TEOM has better vocal highs. (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 17:44)

Emancipation & Daydream (108,434) by Jamie from UK Haha I'm old too but Music Box trumps everything for me anyway. I just love it so much. Lots of good memories from that time too. (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 18:57) this is a reply to message 108,426

Emancipation & Daydream (108,431) by Stacey from USA Yes yes, I am sorry. My apologies. I daydream all the time as well. One can easily get lost in their thoughts and lose all sense of reality when listening to such great music. I will do better next time.

Emancipation & Daydream (108,424) by Edward from USA Dear Stacey, you of all people should understand what happens when one is in a Daydream state of mind. I had the album playing and as I was typing my two favorites for TEOM, "When I Saw You" kicked in. Let’s just call it a "mental lapse", a "slip of the keyboard", or most likely, "a glitch in the matrix" . My guilty pleasure from TEOM is "To The Floor". (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 16:19)

Emancipation & Daydream (108,430) by Stacey from USA Me too, lol. I first discovered Mariah during the MB era. I was 16. But my love and appreciation for MC was cemented during Daydream. (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 17:48) this is a reply to message 108,426

Ribbon (108,410) by Edward from USA I love myself some Ribbon. Actually, Mariah was in a better place vocally on E=MC2 and Memoirs than what she was on TEOM. (Monday 24 March 2025; 08:12)

Emancipation & Daydream (108,419) by Stacey from USA Daydream is a thing of beauty. I can listen to that whole album beginning to end. No skips. I love every song. Looking In is my favorite track. It's my life's theme song. "It seems as though I've always been; somebody outside looking in." Oh wait, I can choose another song. Hmmm let's see, ABMB. That song sounds as current today as it did 30 years ago. Guilty pleasure: Melt Away. TEOM had me jumping for joy 20 years later after Daydream. I thought the whisper from CB was MC's current trend. However, when I got a hold of an mp3 containing snippets of all the songs before the album's release, I couldn't contain my excitement. The voice was back. I have to choose only 2 songs? Fly Like A Bird, Circles. Guilty pleasure: Your Girl. (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 03:36)

Emancipation & Daydream (108,423) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Daydream 1995 and The Emancipation 2005 were two big eras for Mariah. Too bad that she can't have another big eras in 2015 and 2025, or else the number 5 in a calendar year would be a good luck charm for her. As for my pick; I choose Forever (Daydream) and I Wish You Knew (The Emancipation). (Tuesday 25 March 2025; 14:45) this is a reply to message 108,414

Love letter to MC (108,415) by BFF from United States Amen. Mariah, we love you unconditionally and support whatever you decide to do. (Monday 24 March 2025; 23:17) this is a reply to message 108,408

Love letter to MC (108,408) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End To Mariah, whom I love, cherish and adore (more than some of my own blood relations) and wish, hope and pray will humble yourself and let go of anything holding you back from being happy and at peace, where you have always belonged but for some reason you feel unworthy and don't believe is for you. Mariah, nobody "deserves" or earns love, it's a gift from our creator. Rejecting love is not where it's at. God wants you to be happy. Grief comes and goes in waves, let it happen. Lean into it, move through it. Don't bottle all your struggles up. Your disappointment. Declare yourself free and unburden yourself from the wounds you carry. We all have to mourn our dead. But let's celebrate the living too, why grieve and eulogize loved ones who still draw breath? We'll be okay, we don't really need new music or any of the other things we always bitch about. We care about you. You are not somewhat loved, you are loved, period. Don't martyr yourself for the fandom, the public and strangers that care or know nothing about you. We'll live and we'll be happy because you're genuinely happy. Why won't you choose happy, is it fear? Well that's not of the Lord and you know it. So whatever had you running scared, run towards that. Because faking it until you make it isn't working. It also reads inauthentic and that's not good because even as someone who loves you and means you well, always, I can misread you as someone who doesn't care when I also see that you're trying very hard. Let go of your pride. It's not doing you any favors. Handle your business girl and I'm not talking music or showbusiness. Go off grid if you have to. Be Garbo for a minute or two. Let God lead the way and follow Him. You don't need to go on an exploitation/explanation tour on anyone's primetime tv-couch. Go be with the people who love you, 4 real 4 real. It's time you stop self sabotaging. Reject dysfunction once and for all. Stop rejecting stability in favour of familiarity of chaos and uncertainty. Go where you're loved and accepted wholely and truly. That's what you should keep building on. Love is the only thing that we take with us, given and received, when we leave this earth. Let's not take it for granted and waste time on frivolous things and hollow relationships. Stop feeding the trolls. "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13.
