Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,101) (78,115) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "The One" is an all time favorite of mine. In fact I was listening to the original and the So So Def remix last night and it still sounds so fresh and catchy. (Friday 25 August 2017; 20:51)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,113) (78,114) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I know the remix called Widelife, is there one named Wildboys too? (Friday 25 August 2017; 18:22)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,111) (78,113) by Licia from USA Where can I find this remix to listen Sheila? I looked on YouTube, but it's not on there. (Friday 25 August 2017; 16:55)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,108) (78,112) by Licia from USA I love that Desert Storm remix as well. It was so much better than the official one that was released with Bone Thugs (hate that Billboard changed the rules about remixes). You could just tell she wasn't in a good space vocally though. It wasn't so noticeable in the WBT Desert Storm remix (in love with this remix too). (Friday 25 August 2017; 16:51)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,110) (78,111) by Sheila from United States Much better than Boy. The One Wildboys' remix is hot pow. (Friday 25 August 2017; 16:12)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,101) (78,110) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada The One is my fave from Charmbracelet. I love the live version she performed on the MTV Through The Rain special. The song is completely underrated a gem indeed. CB isn't a popular album, but I enjoy it. Nice post Randy.

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,105) (78,109) by B from USA She slayed that performance. Those whistles are spine tingling. (Friday 25 August 2017; 15:55)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,106) (78,108) by B from USA I love the Desert Storm remix of DFAU. (Friday 25 August 2017; 15:53)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,106) (78,107) by B from USA I love The One. I was so disappointed when they decided to release Boy as the second single instead of The One even though they had already announced that The One was the next single and Mariah was filming a video for it. (Friday 25 August 2017; 15:51)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,101) (78,106) by Licia from USA The One is one of my favorites from CB. I was one of the fans that was in an uproar over them choosing Boy over The One. I don't know if The One would have charted, but I know it was the better song. I just have a feeling that the video was going to go into a direction that I would have loved before they changed it. I agree lyrical the song kills. Lyrically that whole album kills in my opinion. I also enjoy the remix. They utilized that Goodbye Love sample by Guy to the fullest. The only letdown of the remix for me was her vocals. It didn't even sound like her. It's kind of like how the Desert Storm remix of DFAU was. The remix is great, but vocally it was rough. You know I come out of hiding for any post CB related. Lol. (Friday 25 August 2017; 13:37)

Re: Forgotten gem: The One (78,101) (78,105) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Last night I listened to The One (So So Def Remix). I love the original as well. Totally agree on your opinion on the song. So bad, there was no video to accompany the song but at least we have the live version from the tv special. The whistle... gosh, I love MC. (Friday 25 August 2017; 12:42)

Re: Unforgettable remix (78,099) (78,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany At the end of the remix I get Daydream vibes. Best part of the song. The lyrics are typical for something that charts today. Lol. Normally it's not my type of music, but MC makes me love it. (Friday 25 August 2017; 11:52)

Re: Unforgettable remix acoustic (78,102) (78,103) by MusicfanJ from Germany For a remix, it's sounds really good. But I would prefer a song by Mariah only. No more rappers, newcomers, just a new Mariah song. But it's better to hear Mariah featuring than nothing new. (Friday 25 August 2017; 11:41)

Unforgettable remix acoustic (78,102) by Gilles from Malta I was very happy to listen at it on SPotify this morning. It is interesting this echo and surround studio effect that it brings, it gives a different dimension to the song. The whistles at the end are nice as well, it reminds me the way she made it on Standing O. Waiting patiently for the pow versus of the song So So Def. Enjoy. Have a nice day everyone.

Forgotten gem: The One (78,101) by Randy from USA So I'm actually talking to a dude that is not my type but like a fungus he's grown on me and I have to deal. Today I decided to dust off that old warhorse Charmbracelet. You know the MC album that Rolling Stone said had so many colors that merged together into a muddy color of brown. I remember that after the failure of the debut single Through The Rain, which is one of my favorite MC songs of all time, The One was planned as the next single. The fans made such an uproar that they went with Boy I Need You. At the time, I didn't like either, but I didn't feel like The One was a hit. Revisiting the song today, and maybe a little emotional because of my current state, this song is classic Mariah genius. As usual JD overstays his welcome at the beginning and I don't get the reason for the guitar instrumental break. But lyrically this is MC at her best. The breakneck pace of the lyrics and her wording is sick. Come on, y'all can't deny that countdown in the second verse. It proves once again no one can do what MC does. And don't forget the final whistle adlibs in the last hook. Yeah sometimes you have to dust off an old track when you get emotional. The One like so many MC songs was ahead of its time and couldn't be appreciated. (Friday 25 August 2017; 05:07)

Re: Unforgettable remix (78,096) (78,099) by Special K from USA Whoa Mariah is on the remix? Man this was already my favorite song of the year. Can't wait to hear the whole remix. (Friday 25 August 2017; 02:33)

Re: Unforgettable remix (78,096) (78,098) by Lila from United States Same here. (Friday 25 August 2017; 01:52)

Here (78,097) by Edouard from France Guys you can here [sic] the acoustic version here. I've only listened to this version so far. Simply Amazing. Reminds me of #Beautiful. So poetic and transcendent . Elegant, sophisticated yet simple. Love it. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 23:21)

Unforgettable remix (78,096) by Bill from the UK Those 45 seconds were great. Can't wait to hear the full song. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 22:44)

Re: Unforgettable Mariah Carey remix (78,078) (78,095) by RibbonB from USA She sounds good so far. I live the original and she doesn't detract from it. Let's hope she brings Sven more t the table on the complete remix. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 22:20)

Re: Unforgettable Mariah Carey remix (78,086) (78,094) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks Licia. Truly am looking forward to the full versions. I think Mariah's snippet is great and am hopeful the rest of it. The beat of the song is cool and their voices blend really well. I am hopeful the full versions sound as good. I'm not sitting here wishing and hoping Mariah's records get broken. I'm simply saying if/when it happens I'm not going to begrudge the artist their success (even if it is someone I'm not into musically). For me, it feels unkind and unnecessary. To each their own. The point is being missed if it is taken to mean people don't care about what Mariah has accomplished in her career. Mariah was at one time that artist dreaming of what it would be like to have her music be embraced too, and I wouldn't want to dampen that feeling for another artist just because they aren't Mariah. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable buying music from another artist (especially if I didn't even like the song or the artist) just to make sure Mariah isn't "dethroned." For me, that doesn't feel genuine. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 22:03)

Re: Unforgettable remix (78,090) (78,093) by Malcolm from Asia I love love the acoustic remix. This is just clever and great. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 21:23)

Unforgetable remix (78,092) by Elena from The Netherlands Absolutely loving it from the snippet alone. This is so fresh and just what she needs right now. I hope she will use a similar fresh sound on her new album. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 21:06)
