Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,290) (75,291) by darrian liu from taiwan Please tell me the song isn't that song from the Jungle Book. (Wednesday 17 May 2017; 11:39)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,286) (75,290) by Andrew from UK Eddie, Dearest, lovely words but misguided topic. Hero is Mariah's signature song. It is her ultimate song. It is what she is known for. It is the song to which everyone at the table knows the words and melody without mistake. It is the song to which everyone will join in. It is a song that people identify with. It's also my karaoke song. Well, that and the Bear Necessities. Which I think Mariah should cover. It would be lyrically superior to anything she has written herself lately. (Wednesday 17 May 2017; 09:52)

Re: Article: X Factor bosses in secret talks with Mariah Carey (75,216) (75,289) by B from USA Guess I was right, lol. X-Factor bosses threw Mariah's name into the mix to get Nicole to sign her contract. (Wednesday 17 May 2017; 01:06)

A movie on Luis Miguel's life (75,288) by Susana from USA I just read that they are in the casting stages of the movie. I hadn't even heard there would be one. I wonder if we will learn more about his and MC's relationship, and more importantly who will play her. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 23:44)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,285) (75,287) by Malcolm from Asia We Belong Together all the way. My All is my runner up. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 19:21)

The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,286) by Edward from USA Well, in terms of depth, lyrics, imagery, delivery, I would have to go with Butterfly. Butterfly is definitely no Vision of Love when it comes to vocal acrobatics, but it is way better when it comes to passion, lyrics, and soul. Butterfly is an epic song with an equally great video. I believe it to be lyrically comparable only to "Close My Eyes", "Petals" and "Outside". Mariah poured her soul into that song and successfully replicated the same sentiment in its accompanying video. There was not tits-touching, no vanity shots, not middle finger given, just pure soul pushed into the universe with an incomparable delivery. Yes, Butterfly even though it was sung in a semi whisper register is extremely difficult to sing, just like My All. Jessica Sanchez from American Idol matched Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" note by note, and she was praised by critics the day after left and right, but when Jennifer Lopez chose "My All" for her to sing, she struggled, had she had a synthetic wig that day, it would've fried on her head. Jennifer even said: "I didn't know it was that difficult/hard." I love me some Daydream, but Mariah really came alive on Butterfly. Oh how I miss those times when Mariah's lyrics were simple, yet poetic and deep. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 19:07)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,284) (75,285) by T from USA My choice is We Belong Together. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 18:34)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,280) (75,284) by Andrew from UK I recall an interview with Mariah where someone said VOL was her best song and she made a sarcastic comment to the tune of "Hopefully I've gotten better since the beginning." Which is a fair point. She did. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 17:13)

Thank you guys (75,283) by Anonymous from For the lovely messages and support, really appreciated. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 16:40)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,282) by Shezz from Pk Changed my mind several times already because they are each so iconic. At 7:35pm May 16th it will have to be Butterfly. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 16:35)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,281) by darrian liu from taiwan Butterfly. Obviously the other two are masterpieces which held great significance in her career, but Butterfly was just her heart poured out into a beautiful melody. It's her true emancipation; when she finally lets everything holding her back go. It's so deeply emotional and so poignant, it's just plain incredible. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 14:53)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,280) by Bill from the UK Vision of Love without a shadow of a doubt. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 13:25)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,279) by Licia from USA Vision of Love. That's the song that made me fall in love with her music. It's going to always be my number one choice. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 13:06)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,278) by MusicfanJ from Germany My choice of this three is "Vision of love". (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 12:45)

Re: I Don't (MichaelAngelo Meets Morales Edit) (75,270) (75,277) by Edouard from France This is so cool. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 11:25)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,275) (75,276) by Edouard from France This songs basically saved my life. It has helped me a lot, and on so many levels. That's the power of Mariah, always and forever: she's able to translate her battles into songs and give her listeners the strengh to do the same. I love this woman. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 11:14)

Re: The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) (75,275) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Butterfly. The least successful yet most meaningful among the three, yet the most difficult to sing. It still is the most liberating ballad I have ever heard in my life. No other chorus in Mariah's catalog soars in the uplifting way that Butterfly's chorus does. And that bridge perhaps is her most perfect buildup to a song climax ever - short yet very moving. It leads to that magical rollercoaster of a run that still stands as one of her best ever. All that and I still haven't talked about the impressive vocal acrobatics and improvisations that follow. Butterfly is hardly the song she will always be known for, but it will always be her best, most sincere autobiographical song. End of discussion. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 10:51)

Re: I Don't (MichaelAngelo Meets Morales Edit) (75,270) (75,274) by Jamie from UK I love this, can someone send me the MP3 by email? (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 10:51)

Morissette Amon Mariah Carey medley (75,272) by Lee TS from USA What a lovely tribute to our diva. Very nice selection. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 07:44)

The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,271) by T from USA Let's see which song gets the most votes of arguably the three greatest ballad songs in Mariah's catalogue and possibly the three biggest milestone songs in her career. If you could only pick one: Vision of Love, Butterfly, We Belong Together. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 04:12)

I Don't (MichaelAngelo Meets Morales Edit) (75,270) by 123 from USA I love this remix. Sounds like David did it himself. I remember MichaelAngelo doing a great Shake It Off remix. The beat fits the original vocals perfectly. I Don't was the first decent song she's had in years, there was some thought behind the lyrics for once, a pre-chorus, and chorus. The only thing I didn't like was that the sound was more of the same and the two studio synthesized F5s in the final chorus weren't necessary. I'm over her throwing out songs/albums and not promoting them, especially when they are good but yet Infinity and that 1 to Infinity album got more promo and performances then her last three albums combined. Anyway I wish this remix was longer, still playing it at the gym anyway. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 03:56)

Re: Mother's Day (75,268) (75,269) by Licia from USA Yes. Don't judge my grandma. You don't know her life. Lol. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 01:56)

Re: Mother's Day (75,266) (75,268) by RibbonB from USA Your grandma wears camo pants and daishikis? Lol. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 00:27)
