Re: Samples (81,342) (81,348) by Licia from USA She has sampled so many great songs that I listened to and loved when I was younger. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 15:09)

Re: Masters (81,339) (81,347) by Musti from UK This is true. Masters are owned by whoever pays for their recording. But this also comes down to what's stipulated in the contract. No doubt Mariah didn't have enough bargaining power to claim any rights on the masters back then. But now, I would be very surprised if she didn't demand it. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 15:05)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,337) (81,345) by Anonymous from Wow, I love the Glitter album. If only she would share some of these gems. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 14:06)

Re: Samples (81,334) (81,344) by Anonymous from Smh. Andy that was between you and I Mr lol. Too much of my life is already occupied with the wonderful Mariah, anymore would be creepy so politely declined. On another note, you with a wig and tan might pull it off. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 14:04)

Re: Samples (81,340) (81,343) by Anonymous from Thanks for this Bill, will check it out. That's what I love about being a Mariah fan, always something else to learn and explore. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 13:53)

Re: Samples (81,341) (81,342) by Anonymous from Check you out Licia, you know your music girl. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 13:52)

Re: Samples (81,335) (81,341) by Licia from USA I knew I was missing one from CB. You Had Your Chance is sampling I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You by Leon Haywood. I think I'm done now. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 09:18)

Re: Samples (81,335) (81,340) by Bill from the UK There's a website called whosampled.com. Type in MC and it will bring up the songs she used a sample for (credited and not), as well as who sampled her material. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 07:04)

Masters (81,339) by RibbonB from USA Masters are the original sound recordings from which all other prints are copied. Masters are owned by either the artist or the label, depending which one paid for the recording/studio time and such. Mariah is usually at least co executive producer on her projects, which likely means she owns her masters. Her contracts tell the whole/true story. None of us know what those say. Masters are different from copyrights which belong to the songwriters/music creators. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 01:36)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,329) (81,338) by Bill from the UK Usually when an artist buys the rights to their material it will include everything. Released and unreleased and any demo or working copies. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 01:04)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,329) (81,337) by B from USA I saw a interview Mariah did and she said she owns all the Glitter masters and that she recorded 60+ songs for that album. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 00:30)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,329) (81,336) by B from USA All recorded versions of a song are masters. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 00:29)

Re: Samples (81,322) (81,335) by Licia from USA Anyway here's more. Irresistible used You Know How We Do by Ice Cube or The Westside Connection, Did I Do that used It Ain't My Fault by Master P, Heartbreaker remix is It Ain't No Fun by Snoop Dogg (I think that he used this sample from another song, but I can't think of the name), and My All remix is Stay a Little While by Loose Ends. That's all I can think of right now. I shall be back. Lol. (Sunday 11 March 2018; 00:01)

Re: Samples (81,331) (81,334) by Andrew from UK Jade, are you the recently scouted Mariah Carey impersonator Jade? Ha that is right, ladies and gents. Jade is now a real life Mariah Carey impersonator. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 23:59)

Article: Is V Magazine trolling us with this Mariah Carey cover? (81,333) by Andrew from UK A simple rule of the common law has always been that everyone enjoys the label of innocence until such time as somebody proves their guilt. But looky here, hundreds of years of common law undone by lunatics in just one or two. It is incredible how we have forgotten the foundation of modern Western Society in the face of caterwauling from Social Justice Warriors. Accusations of guilt, no matter how many or how loud, are accusations merely until substantiated with evidence. And further, if somebody makes an unwanted advance toward you, walk out. Do not sell your soul to the devil then ask the good Lord for pity. Another simple rule. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 23:53)

Re: Licia (81,328) (81,332) by Licia from USA I wasn't really sure what you were doing and you only named the original songs. Lol. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 23:48)

Re: Samples (81,324) (81,331) by Anonymous from I'm genuinely surprised just how many songs Mariah has sampled. I don't think I'm biased when I say she outshines the originals but damn. I do wonder if this at all impacted on her Grammy accolades? A significant amount of her mainstream hits are based on samples, however you can't argue her song writing ability. In my mind, Mariah should have way more, but I do agree with her recent Grammy reference on being unpopular vs popular. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 23:21)

Re: Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,327) (81,330) by Will from England In the context of the original message, which was questioning why people say DL and HB sound similar, the melodic structure in the chorus is similar. Here's where she talks about the similarities. Honey doesn't fall under that category in terms of similarity to other songs. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 22:26)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,326) (81,329) by Andrew from UK I'm confused. Is "Master Recording" Mariah's pressed tracks only or does it include other vocals that were laid doen which were never ofdered for public sale or performance? Essentially, who owns all the stuff she didn't put onto an album such as the unreleased vocals popping up recently? (Saturday 10 March 2018; 22:15)

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)
