Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,729) (73,733) by Bill from the UK And You Don't Remember was meant to be the fourth single from Emotions but was canned when I'll Be There took off. I wish it had been as it's a beautiful song. The Roof and Breakdown should have got full worldwide single treatment and not limited releases. I loved Make It Look Good from the get go and think it should have been put out instead of You're Mine (Eternal). If We and The One were also amazing. Wish more people could have heard them.

Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,728) (73,732) by Malcolm from Asia Side Effects, You Don't Know What To Do (if promoted better without the divorce drama), Yours, and of course Faded. But yeah, E=MC2 could've had few more hits if Mariah didn't became spontaneous with Nick and took it slowly until the E=MC2 era ended, it really turned into waste especially with how massive the TEOM's success was. Wish she concentrated in the album first before she tied the knot and I think it is also part of the reason why MOIA became mediocre commercially. If she just took care of TEOM's success and planned out every move after 2006, she may easily snatched few more #1 singles and album. (Friday 17 March 2017; 14:19)

Todd: Wasted songs (73,731) by Jeff from USA I fully agree with you on Cry. It could have been the match that lit the fire under the album. Mariah at her most vulnerable. It could have matched Adele's amazing Hello. Almost every album since Butterfly has left me baffled by the single choices. (Friday 17 March 2017; 14:05)

Wasted songs (73,730) by Jeff from USA Ok, so I know some were "released" but without any promo, so I'm counting them. The Roof Breakdown Migrate Side Effects Betcha Gon Know Cry (Friday 17 March 2017; 14:02)

Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,728) (73,729) by Licia from USA Never Forget You is a favorite. Her and Babyface writing together is a magical thing and they constructed Never Forget You beautifully. They made my life when they sang together on her Christmas special. I've always wanted them to sing together. Not just her on background vocals or him on background vocals. Although they didn't sing a song they created, I'll take it because that duet between them that I want may never happen. (Friday 17 March 2017; 13:25)

Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,727) (73,728) by Todd from Sydney, Australia At the risk of losing all of my messageboard lovers, I don't actually rate Faded. I think "Cry" was a missed opportunity. Currently on a champagne fueled Mariah shuffle. Presently enjoying "Never Forget You". I should snapchat this. If you're on it, I'm "dontcallmetoddy". Eric - keen to hear your thoughts about potential hits that never made it? (Friday 17 March 2017; 12:02)

Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,717) (73,727) by Terna from Nigeria "Faded" from MIAM. That song had hit written all over it and actually stands out from the rest of the album. Even non fans and most people who have heard that song take an instant liking to it. Oh well, missed opportunity there. Another would be "Migrate" from E=MC2. (Friday 17 March 2017; 10:59)

Re: March is almost over (73,720) (73,726) by tracey from australia I would love to know as well. (Friday 17 March 2017; 05:02)

Butterfly (73,725) by Mara from United States I really hope Mariah doesn't waste this opportunity to "make the world remember" and perhaps introduce new fans to the masterpiece. If she doesn't recognize this masterpiece for what it is for its 20th anniversary I will feel she really missed out. No offense to MC but I doubt she will release another career defining album/moment like Thee Butterfly anytime soon, so please remind the world who you ar and what you indeed are capable of. On a side note: Do we think Stella owns a copy of Butterfly? Hmm, I wonder. Does Mishka know what Mariah is capable of? Mariah, LA, release a remastered copy of Butterfly, give unreleased material, raw material, unedited, whatever. But something with new packaging. Mariah, don't let this opportunity pass you by. This album is too damn good to not pay any attention to the anniversary of its greatness. It could literally still be played today and put all the "current" it people to shame. And I must say this, I wish there was a yearly or five year event of a gettogether of the MCA people. I so would attend that. MimiL, I would love to actually converse with you among others in person. Would be fun. (Friday 17 March 2017; 04:18)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,714) (73,724) by Mara from United States Martyn our musical taste as far as MC songs are almost identical. I think you were one of the George Michael fans too if I'm not mistaken or was that someone else? I know there are a few of us on here. I love "Til the end of time" along with The Wind and a fav yearlong Christmas song would have to be The First Noel (Born is the King). (Friday 17 March 2017; 04:07)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes Todd (73,723) by Ty from USA Everything Fades Away is a great song, very intense and emotional. (Friday 17 March 2017; 03:33)

Re: Wasted songs, should have been singles (73,717) (73,722) by Special K from USA 1. Migrate 2. Standing O 3. The One 4. Faded 5. Camouflage 6. Miss You feat Jadakiss (Friday 17 March 2017; 01:34)

Celine (73,721) by Manny from U.S. The Colosseum, the theater were Mariah has her residency was "built specially to house Celine Dion's 'A New Day'". I don't understand all this Celine hate. I like her music and how gracious she is. She has never spoken bad of anyone. She has a beautiful aura. Mariah has always been my favorite singer though. (Friday 17 March 2017; 01:02)

March is almost over (73,720) by SM from Citizen of the World No news on that new March single? (Friday 17 March 2017; 00:48)

"Til the end of time" is breathtaking (73,719) by Sheila from United States Yes girl. Agreed. "Till The End of Time" is both haunting, building, measured, thoughtful, moving, powerful, returning once again to haunting. I approve this message ms. Thang. (Friday 17 March 2017; 00:27)

Re: Wasted songs , should have been singles (73,717) (73,718) by Licia from USA I'll forever be bitter that they didn't release The One as a single. I believe it could have been a huge hit. It just might have done better than Boy. (Friday 17 March 2017; 00:07)

Wasted songs , should have been singles (73,717) by lil star from untied states The album with the most wasted potential was E=MC2, Side Effects comes to mind as a big wasted moment. That song has stuck with me since I first heard it (having come out of an abusive relationship at the time ). I think so many people can relate to it (not living in a mansion with chandeliers lol) the whole concept of being damaged but moving on in your life ahhh it could have been a great moment for non fans to get to know that side of Mariah. What songs do you think were wasted? (Thursday 16 March 2017; 23:41)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,697) (73,716) by Andrew from UK Agreed. "Till The End of Time" is both haunting, building, measured, thoughtful, moving, powerful, returning once again to haunting, if not, and emphatically, defeated. The joy in the defeat I think is what many teenagers who were perhaps not understood or not good at being expressive needed to be expressed for them: "I can't love you, but I love the unrequited, because it's love in itself and that's moving, if not haunting." (Thursday 16 March 2017; 23:40)

Re: Yeah, Celine is a great singer but (73,682) (73,715) by Special K from USA (Thursday 16 March 2017; 23:33)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,707) (73,714) by Martyn from England, UK I can't believe "I Don't" is your 2nd most played Mariah song. I've listened to it twice and have never listened since because I hated it so much (Thursday 16 March 2017; 23:29)

Re: Celine vs Mariah (73,710) (73,713) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Céline sung about a sinking ship", dead at that comment, I can't deal with you reducing one of the most well known songs worldwide down to this haha. But in all seriousness though, Mariah and Celine are both great singers, let's not pit them against each other, we'll reserve the pitchforks and torches for those who try to shade Mariah and Celine has been nothing but sweet to Mariah, even sending her flowers to welcome her to Vegas. And I'm not blaming you for pitting them against each other, I'm just seeing a lot of arguments regarding this for the last few days. We love Celine (even though I don't know any of her songs apart from the sinking ship song), she's a sweetheart and I have only recently come across some of her recent interviews and she has a good sense of humor. I think she'd get along with Mariah nicely since they both have a good sense of humor among other common things. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 23:21)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) (73,712) by Bill from the UK AIWFCIY followed closely by the beautiful Vision of Love. Never gets old. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 22:56)

Alone In Love (73,711) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Nice to see this song get some love from time to time on this board. Out of all the remaining tracks on the debut album that weren't released, this had the biggest potential to be a hit, and that has sadly gone unfulfilled. One of the more sophisticated songs in the album. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 21:50)

Re: Celine vs Mariah (73,699) (73,710) by Tijl from Belgium I can only agree. Céline is a very talented vocalist but her songs do not evoke any emotion with me. Mariah wrote "The roof", "Petals", "The art of letting go". Céline sung about a sinking ship, just saying. No tea to spill though. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 21:39)

Re: Todd from Australia (73,705) (73,709) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Oh you guys. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 18:55)
