Licia (81,328) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) In my opinion why should remixes be excluded if a sample was used? (Saturday 10 March 2018; 22:00)

Re: Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,321) (81,327) by B from USA If we use that logic we might as well as add Honey to the list. Of course these songs sound like Mariah Carey compositions, she has a signature sound. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 15:28)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,323) (81,326) by B from USA After 25 years ownership of master recordings are transferred from the label to the songwriter/songwriters. When Mariah signed her new deal she received ownership of her masters instead of receiving a large advance. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 15:25)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,323) (81,325) by B from USA I assumed she would own the master copies. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 15:02)

Re: Samples (81,322) (81,324) by Licia from USA Are you naming the original songs or can I add the remixes with samples to the list? Honey So So Def Remix is Hey Dj by World Famous Supreme Team, ABMB remix uses Tell Me If You Still Care by The SOS Band, and The One Remix uses Goodbye Love by Guy. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 12:01)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,319) (81,323) by Andrew from UK Does owning a catalogue mean you would also own the unused vocals or just the copyrighted material? I have no idea. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 11:54)

Samples (81,322) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Dreamlover blind alley. Heartbreaker attack of the name game. Fantasy genius of love. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 00:47)

Re: Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,316) (81,321) by Will from England Mariah herself talked about the comparisons. She even sang the two choruses for DL and HB side by side in an interview (don't know which one but it's on YouTube somewhere) and they do sound very similar. And she even said that they are similar, but only because she wrote both of them, therefore there would be a similar vein to them. As for the GOL, well, I don't know which versions they're listening to, but it's definitely not the same sample by any means. (Friday 9 March 2018; 21:54)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,311) (81,320) by Bill from the UK If the leaks are indeed from Mariah's team, I wish they would put them on her main official channels so that more people can hear them. Or better yet, release the entire vault digitally. I'd pay whatever the asking price is for that. No doubt. (Friday 9 March 2018; 20:42)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,310) (81,319) by B from USA Didn't Mariah buy her back catalogue back in 04/05? (Friday 9 March 2018; 20:33)

Is V Magazine trolling us with this Mariah Carey cover? (81,318) by B from USA If Mario isn't credited or mentioned how do these commenters know he was the photographer? I think she looks beautiful. (Friday 9 March 2018; 20:30)

Me, myself, & Mariah (81,317) by B from USA I love this article. Especially when she said that both Jay Z and the other Jay have her working with different cowriters. Seems like she's taking their advice and stepping out of her comfort zone. I'm just glad that she isn't working with JD. (Friday 9 March 2018; 18:47)

Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,316) by B from USA I never understood why critics called Heartbreaker a recycled version of Dreamlover and Fantasy. The only similarity between the three songs is that each song is built around a sample. I've even read reviews that claim Mariah used the same sample for each song (Genius of Love). (Friday 9 March 2018; 18:40)

Someday (81,315) by B from USA 27 years ago on this day Someday hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mariah's third consecutive number-one single. Like Mariah I prefer the MTV Unplugged version to the studio version. (Friday 9 March 2018; 18:33)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,305) (81,314) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Damn. That's fabulous. This is why she is called the voice. Thank you YouTube. Lol. (Friday 9 March 2018; 18:10)

Outtake vocals (81,313) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Simply beautiful. Whoever is responsible for leaking these moments on behalf of all MC fans thank you. (Friday 9 March 2018; 17:31)

Re: Sade (81,299) (81,312) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks so much, Jade. (Friday 9 March 2018; 17:04)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,303) (81,311) by Chicago Lamb from USA I think the vocal out takes are coming from Mariah's team. The YouTube channel looks pretty polished. They know (and they are 100% correct) that her fans go nuts to hear anything at all come out of her mouth. They knew this back in the 90's which is why her maxi/remix singles sold so well. If there is just one line sung differently, we want to hear it. It's a testament to the magic that is her voice. (Friday 9 March 2018; 15:34)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,309) (81,310) by Andrew from UK That "ooh yeah" is so short but just magical Mariah. It throws me back to being young, being enraptured (there's a Mariah word if ever there was one). I used to wonder, when I was young, why other people bothered making music if someone else's voice and melodies were so perfect. Then Jagged Little Pill came out and I started getting spots and Alanis-angsty with how much other people suck lol. As for who is leaking it, well, who owns the rights to the Sony recordings now... (Friday 9 March 2018; 13:26)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,304) (81,309) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so good, I repeated the "oohs" too. Just wow, I need more of this. This outtake shows the unique "Mariah-tune". I also wonder who leaks it? (Friday 9 March 2018; 12:10)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,307) (81,308) by Billy from Greece Dennis, most artists record multiple takes of a songs and then combine the best parts to create the best outcome, at least when they record their vocals separately from an orchestra or instrumental part. It is a process called "comping". Barbra Streisand also does it. Here's a description: "Comping is when several vocal takes of a song are done. Afterward, the artist or producer listens to the takes and chooses the best words, phrases or lines from each take and puts them together as a whole, composite track that sounds seamless." (Friday 9 March 2018; 11:51)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,300) (81,307) by Dennis from Miami, FL Can you hear that light hoarseness? Looks like she had it back then. Those vocals remind me of Butterfly ones. Have all her tracks been resung countless times to sound "immaculate"? (Friday 9 March 2018; 08:12)

Top Streaming Female Artists (81,306) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Mariah is the oldest artist on this list, having the longest career. Granted, this is mostly due to AIWFCIY, but still, how do you define legend? (Friday 9 March 2018; 05:23)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,300) (81,305) by Licia from USA Thanks for the share. That was so awesome. Unlike AIWFCIY I can listen to a million versions of her singing O Holy Night and I'll never get tired of the song. (Friday 9 March 2018; 02:15)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,300) (81,304) by Andrew from UK The "ooh yeah" at 0:37 and the "sin and error pining" at 1:08 is Mariah at perfection. I have repeated the "ooh yeah" about 50 times so far. (Friday 9 March 2018; 01:49)
