Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,591) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 95 all the way. That really was her peak vocally, when everything fell into one impressive yet delicate balance. Even when we talk about live vocal control, the Daydream era is the benchmark. How she used her voice was also at its best - she was less eager to please and impress. Her performances at that time did not sound like she was trying her hardest to deliberately wow everyone with vocal acrobatics anymore. She sounded like she was confident that the people already knew what she was capable of, and so 1995 to me was the year where her singing shifted from impressive to expressive.

Re: Interesting question (80,589) (80,590) by 123 from USA 93 Mariah vocals where more pop driven but by the Daydream era, she really started to experiment. This video, the magic hidden behind the Daydream era really speaks to what I mean. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 09:57)

Interesting question (80,589) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While 93 Mariah vocals are unmatched her Daydream era vocals gave you everything to speak to your soul with grace, strength, and maturity. Those I love both for different reasons I prefer Daydream vocals. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 04:32)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,582) (80,588) by RibbonB from USA I know, but can you imagine if she wins for both categories. Wow. I guess Mimi got over the acting bug. So strange that she did that vanity Christmas movie. I would love to see her with a significant part in an indie movie. Something bigger and better than Tennessee though. I am dying to see her in a nice music related period movie say from the 50s or 60s, hell even the 70's. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 03:11)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,587) by Stacey from USA 95. Daydream is my fav for good reason. All facets of her voice are on display. That alone is what makes the album such a masterpiece. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:54)

Re: Interesting question (80,583) (80,586) by Licia from USA I really never thought about the differences in her vocals in the early days. Since I've been listening to these acapella and supposed unheard Daydream era vocals I've started to really appreciate Daydream a little more. I can't really explain it (I know it's shocking I can't express myself lol). (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:42)

Re: Endless Love (80,555) (80,585) by Billy from England, UK No one will ever come close to them with singing that song, there [sic] voices where [sic] perfect, so beautiful, one of my favourite songs ever. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:16)

Re: Endless Love (80,581) (80,584) by Edward from USA Mariah and Luther killed "Endless Love". Just like Mariah killed "O Holy Night". Celine tackled "O Holy Night", but no matter how loud she sung, she ccouldn't match Mariah's version. I love her version too, it's the one I like most second to Mariah's. The video for "Endless Love" is one of those I watched over and over and over again. Oh how I bragged about Mariah and her powerful voice. It was clear, strong, crisp, agile, it was everything. Luther's voice was like butter, organic of course. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 01:23)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,583) by Edward from USA That's a tough one. Even though 93 Mariah was vocally untouchable, her voice during the Daydream era spoke to my soul. I was hooked. I would go with the Daydream voice. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 01:15)

Re: Mary in Mudbound (80,574) (80,582) by Licia from USA Congratulations to Mary. I keep hearing how good she did in the movie and how good the movie is in general, but the premise of the movie hasn't moved me to watch. I hope she wins, but if not it's probably just a blessing for her to be nominated. She probably didn't expect the nominations. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 23:49)

Re: Endless Love (80,564) (80,581) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I know, right? lol (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:39)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,571) (80,580) by Bill from the UK Both great. Also found an acapella of ABMB here. Shame it cuts out the end as libs. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:22)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,575) (80,579) by Bill from the UK I remember once my mum read me an excerpt from a book she was reading that described a woman's scream as "Mariah Carey being run over by a steam roller". Lolz. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 22:08)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,571) (80,578) by Billy from Greece Thank you Sarah and Licia for the feedback. Licia, yes I've that one too. Mesmerizing. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 21:45)

Interesting question (80,577) by Andrew from UK Do you prefer the power of 93 Mariah belt or the elasticity of the 95 Mariah range? (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 20:33)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,571) (80,576) by Andrew from UK Love love love it. Love it. She could beat Celine in the day. Celine actually stated at one point (circa 96) that she couldn't do what Mariah Carey did. It's not only about the power. It's about the resonance. It's how it makes your skin tingle. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 20:29)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,567) (80,575) by MusicfanJ from Germany I remember that she got referenced but I don't know the episode too. Will is in real life a true admirer. Mariah was and is mentioned so often in episodes and even movies. I once had a list of it, because I found it so cool that Mariah is mentioned by so many people. Even in novels, I have two books and two autobiographies were she is mentioned. Always positive. And the poster of her in the "Mean Girls" movie is legendary isn't it? (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 18:19)

Mary in Mudbound (80,574) by RibbonB from USA Congratulations to Mary J Blige for her best supporting actress nomination for her role in Mudbound. I hear that both the movie and her performance are excellent. I am tempted to finally indulge in Netflix just to watch it. I hear that she, and/or the movie were nominated for best song as well. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 18:09)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,572) (80,573) by Sarah from Netherlands Yeah I remember. One of the early seasons, maybe even the first one. Line by Jazz if I remember correctly. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 16:16)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,569) (80,572) by Licia from USA He said "He's the source that revealed that Mariah Carey's black." I vaguely remember this episode. I need to go back and watch the whole thing. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 14:46)

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,570) (80,571) by Licia from USA Have you listened to the audio of Dreamlover from MSG? I fell in love with these vocals. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 14:40)

Anytime You Need a Friend (A Capella) (80,570) by Billy from Greece I have goosebumps all over my body. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 13:19)

Re: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,567) (80,569) by Billy from Greece So, I've found one episode where Mariah is referenced (not the one I remembered) but I can't figure out what exactly they say about her. In case someone would like to help, you're welcome. Here's the link (the reference is around 5:30, something alone the lines of "He's resourced every something something that Mariah Carey's black). (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 11:51)

Bury the hatchet (80,568) by Lara from Middle East In honor of the Cranberries, I think Mariah should release a new album "Bury the hatchet" and make it only duets with all the persons she doesn't know. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 11:45)

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (80,567) by Billy from Greece In case anyone was/is a fan of the show, could you direct to the episode that includes a Mariah reference? I remember watching it, but I have no idea which season or episode is. Thanks. (Tuesday 23 January 2018; 11:38)
