Re: Picture (73,796) (73,800) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Problem is fixed. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 13:34)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,798) (73,799) by B from USA I was talking about Babyface who wrote, produced, and sang background vocals on Take A Bow. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 13:00)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,782) (73,798) by B from USA I love Take A Bow. I really wish Mariah would work with him again. Melt Away, Never Forget You, and Everytime I Close My Eyes are classics. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 12:56)

Re: Mariah's masterpiece - Edward and Andrew (73,793) (73,797) by B from USA I like the incoherent dreamlike sequences in the Butterfly video. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 12:45)

Picture (73,796) by Martyn from England, UK Hi Eric, my picture has turned to a default Mariah picture and anytime I try to change it I get an error message. Just thought I'd let you know. [Webmaster: Thanks for letting me know. I've just sent an e-mail to the helpdesk.] (Sunday 19 March 2017; 12:27)

Re: Tevin Campbell (73,791) (73,795) by Martyn from England, UK My favourites are pretty much the same as yours. Although I think my ultimate favourite is Brown Eyed Girl. Such a nice song. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 12:27)

Re: Tevin Campbell (73,791) (73,794) by RibbonB from USA "Don't Say Goodbye" is his most iconic song IMO. His voice reaches the stratosphere on that one. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 11:53)

Mariah's masterpiece - Edward and Andrew (73,793) by Randy from USA I just feel like with the singles we have gotten without albums here of late only one is worthy of playing anywhere near my faves, "Almost Home' and for me Mariah's masterpiece is a difficult topic. It would be the song you love to hate. The only problem is her vocal isn't that good. If I had to pick another it would be Butterfly but the video kills that one. So then I go to my third choice, My All. Here is why, the vocal, the lyric, the video, the remixes, the chart success all nod to perfection. Can you really think of another song where everything came together? And Andrew I would take you up on your offer so we can play RTD on an old radio sitting on the curb of a cobblestone street while watching the sunrise over some cathedral, but I may be a bit too ratchet for Europe. Edward I have to get to NYC so we can have our game of Mariah Carey-oke. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 11:34)

Mariah's car (73,792) by Manny from U.S. A little joke. Question: What is Mariah's favorite car? Answer: Lamb-orghini. I saw some hash tag "lamborghini". I thought it was about lambs. Then I realized it's about the car. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 06:53)

Re: Tevin Campbell (73,767) (73,791) by Licia from USA Tevin's first two albums are awesome. What songs are you liking so far? My favorites from him are I'm Ready, Shh,Tell Me What You Want Me to Do, Can We Talk, Tomorrow, Round and Round, and Always In My Heart. There's another song he's on from the Jason's Lyric soundtrack called You Will Know, but he's not singing by himself. It's a group song with a whole bunch of male R&B singers. People like Brian McKnight, Keith Sweat and Gerald Levert. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 04:34)

Re: Decades concept CD/90's R&B (73,776) (73,790) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The 90s were R&B's golden age, no question. Mariah, TLC, Boyz II Men, Brandy, Aaliyah, Monica, Janet, Lisa Stansfield (heck even George and Madonna jumped in). The 80s were just a precursor to that thanks to Whitney, Anita, El Debarge, Al Jarreau, George Benson, again Janet, and Prince. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 04:34)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,780) (73,789) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines True. To me Madge's best work is also her one of her most overlooked and underrated. Most people tend to remember the Madonna albums that contain her biggest uptempo hits because Madonna is almost always associated to dance music. That's why Bedtime Stories is often forgotten, because the singles released from it were not really dance hits (the title track went unnoticed). But Secret, Take A Bow, Human Nature, Love Tried To Welcome Me and Forbidden Love are too seductive to ignore. Her vocals were most impressive during the Ray of Light era, but were most inviting during the Bedtime Stories era. So plush and warm. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 04:28)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,782) (73,788) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I love love love Take A Bow. If it weren't the perfect fit for Madonna, it's something I would wish were Mariah's. Three seconds into that song and you can instantly recognize it. And the video is a masterclass in elegance. To me, it's Madonna's best ballad. A masterpiece for sure. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 04:19)

Singles mean? (73,787) by Edward from USA Drew, when you say toots, whom do you refer to? Lol. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 02:28)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,780) (73,786) by Special K from USA Bedtimes Stories most def but I think Ray of Light is a classic as well. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 02:20)

Re: Singles mean? (73,773) (73,785) by Edward from USA Randy, I love your posts. It seems you have already figured out that every time you mention "Right to Dream" in any of your posts, it is as if 'Drew gets a stab wound, lol. I also love Mariah's deeper songs, and I won't say "Right to Dream" again because 'Drew might end up losing his beautiful hair, and I don't want him getting extensions from Mariah's seller from 2016. I still want him posting here. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 02:19)

Re: Wasted songs (73,783) (73,784) by Special K from USA Mariah is doing disco/party music. The real question is why won't the record company (LA Reid) release those type of singles? Jermaine Dupri produced YDKWTD. We can still put him in the closet but let's not lock the door. Shout out to Q Tip. He produced Meteorite. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 02:15)

Re: Wasted songs (73,754) (73,783) by Andrew from UK Missed you in this. Genuinely relieved that somebody else is extolling the virtue of "Cruise Control" over "Migrate" from E=MC2. The latter is, I would say, bordering on a master-ful, ie. clever and on point in its delivery. But "Cruise Control" is just get-your-tits out crazy fun. I defy anyone. It to smile and sing along. "Bottle broken. Think I'm joken?" Just so much fun. Like "YDKWTD". Mariah has so much fun inside of her, she knows how to make it go off. Listed to "Meteorite" today because of the board and don't understand why I've been ignoring it. It's massively fun. And the question would be this: Why won't Mariah "do EDM"? Why won't Mariah do disco? Why can't she do what Madonna did with "Confessions"? "Meteorite" is probably an expert at music being told to create the perfect disco/dance track. To all those who say Mariah needs a "Right to Dream" about R&B and jazz. Well, she can do most stuff. But people want to hear party music. And she ain't bad at it. Somebody lock JD in a closet.

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,780) (73,782) by Andrew from UK Toots, are you back from the brink? Are you with us, again? Lol honestly, you may be right here (I approve your message). I listen to "Take A Bow" if ever I'm in a search-my-soul drive. And I listen to it more than "Drowned World". I guess that poses a really interesting question: Is Mariah's masterpiece, to you, or anyone, the song you listen to most, or is it something you can, yourself, critically acclaim? I would think they would be the same thing. But then I listen to some Mariah songs more than those I would consider to be masterpieces. What is Mariah's masterpiece? And is it the song each person listens to the most? If it isn't, then what makes it the masterpiece? (Sunday 19 March 2017; 00:50)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,780) (73,781) by B from USA Ray of Light. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 00:28)

Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,780) by Sheila from United States It's her Bedtime stories era - beautifully written songs, pure funk and great vocals. (Saturday 18 March 2017; 21:48)

Re: St. Patrick's Day pic (73,765) (73,779) by Licia from USA Oh that was you. Lol. (Saturday 18 March 2017; 21:42)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,759) (73,778) by Andrew from UK Totally agree. Should always celebrate the virtues of other artists and admit when they are better than Mariah. But I can slag Mariah off: I won't hear it from Celine fans. Certainly not Whitney fans. And Madonna fans can suck it. Even though I like all those artists. Usually end up with: most of Celine's catalogue is saccharine and cringe, Whitney's catalogue is primarily 80's and early 90's synth shit, and Madonna writes lyrics that are bad. And "bad" will always rhyme with "sad". Or "mad". Or something else she Googled to rhyme with "bad". One day, someday, "ooh someday", I'll find a moment of peace. But not today. (Saturday 18 March 2017; 21:30)

Re: Singles mean? (73,773) (73,777) by Andrew from UK "Drowned World" is probably Madonna's masterpiece. Definitely not "Masterpiece" lol. I love those songs, too. "RTD" should not be mentioned in the same sentence as "Petals", "Looking In", "TTEOT", "Twister" and all those other moody, brooding songs that come from a dark place but play out in the light. "RTD" is proper slit-your-wrists, jump-off-the-cliff fabulousness. It's so depressing. Suggest if you listen to that on repeat, you will stay single forever. Come to London and I'll dump Eric and date you, with the gayness that Toots has awarded me. Or Berlin. Might be moving there for work soon. If you don't like a wholly sausage and beer based diet, or people who tell you something is funny instead of laughing - "Ja, that's so funny, ja" - then maybe it won't work.

Re: Decades concept CD/90's R&B (73,767) (73,776) by RibbonB from USA Speaking of 90's R&B, it really was an epic time for R&B, the 80's even better. I think the 1960's and 70's were the most iconic decades for R&B and music in general. Thank God for YouTube, now we have a chance to catch up on so many of the greats. A great theme project for Mariah would be to do covers of classic songs of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's through the current time, or better yet for her to craft new songs herself or enlist top writers to craft songs for her in the style of those respective decades. If Swifty stole her idea, I hope she didn't have this one brewing, but she can use it if she'd like a challenge. Whatever she does next, I would love for it to include live instruments, live band, a couple with an orchestra, etc. (Saturday 18 March 2017; 20:48)
