Re: The Rainbow Interlude (71,493) (71,502) by Dustbin from USA Mariah needs to release the supposed full version during these times of musical drought. For the lambs of course. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 5:06)

Re: MW ratings 1/15/17 (71,499) (71,501) by RibbonB from USA Lol Honey Bye, Bye. Ho back to Russia. Ok I will stop. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 3:03)

Re: I've been under a rock (71,498) (71,500) by RibbonB from USA Edward stop playing, you knew what that meant. I was explaining for our Brazilian lamby. And with respect to Crustacean, she should do her own show and get far away from M. and Roc and Roe please. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 3:01)

Re: MW ratings 1/15/17 (71,497) (71,499) by Edward from USA Ribbon, those are impressive ratings. MW scored higher than "Hoarders" and "The Young Pope", but way lower than "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". I really think Contourella should come up with her own version of "Honey Boo Boo". A good title for a show with Contourella as the main character could be "Leechers" or maybe "I Love You Meme". (Saturday 21 January 2017; 2:27)

Re: I've been under a rock (71,496) (71,498) by Edward from USA Is that what it means? I suddenly had an epiphany. Thank you Ribbon, it was driving my crazy. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 2:11)

MW ratings 1/15/17 (71,497) by RibbonB from USA Well the ratings are up a fraction to #29 on cable for the night. Not very good. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 1:11)

Re: I've been under a rock (71,492) (71,496) by RibbonB from USA Means the recording is being played on repeat, over and over again. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 1:04)

Re: Inauguration 2017 (71,494) (71,495) by RibbonB from USA I would love to see Stella there. And my previous post should have said Boy, "Oh Boy" not on boy. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 1:02)

Re: Inauguration 2017 (71,489) (71,494) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yup she definitely wouldn't, that's why I said Mariah would say "hell no" to that idea even though Stella might try. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 0:58)

The Rainbow Interlude (71,493) by Danny from Uk I think the Rainbow Interlude is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard although short it's always been one of my favourites. I think Mariah should do more interludes. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 0:04)

I've been under a rock (71,492) by Vítor Henrique Pereira from Brazil Sorry for asking the obvious (maybe), but I've tried to figure it out myself - failed. Many lambs here have been talking about Mariah Carey's "Charmbracelet" a lot, entitling their posts with the album name followed by an intriguing "on repeat". Why? Thanks in advance. Love, appreciate and enjoy y'all, my fellow lambies. (Friday 20 January 2017; 23:53)

Special interview (71,491) by lucas from England Have you heard this interview? This interview shows how intelligent Mariah is. I love how real she is here. I've listened this so many times and I still find it fascinating how open she is (she talks about her voice and songwriting, I would like to see this Mariah's world) but when I see today's Mariah it's like totally different person. Do you guys think that she is still like that somewhere deep down in her heard? (Sorry my English is not perfect, I live in Slovakia.) (Friday 20 January 2017; 21:53)

Re: Charmbracelet on replay - The one? (71,483) (71,490) by Bill from the UK The One has long been my favourite from CB, from first listen in fact. I was mortified when Boy replaced it as the second single lol. I too have played CB after reading everybody's comments. It does have some great moments. TTR remix is a great closer to the album, ending on a truly uplifting note. Surprised to see Lullaby standing out as some fan's favourite track. By the 17th chorus I'm like, end already lol. (Friday 20 January 2017; 20:39)

Inauguration 2017 (71,489) by RibbonB from USA Well, in honor of Charmbracelet and Inauguration day, I dedicate "Clown" to Donald because he is not The One. Boy, on boy. Mimi L. I don't believe Mariah would have accepted an invitation to sing for Trump, but at least she wasn't asked. (Friday 20 January 2017; 20:16)

Article: Nicole Richie obsesses over dad's tour with Mariah (71,488) by Musti from UK This is sweet. I remember a few years back she tweeted something along the lines of "if you don't like Thank God I Found You I don't think we can be friends". She clearly likes Mariah. (Friday 20 January 2017; 19:59)

Re: Ty, Charm-girl (71,464) (71,487) by MusicfanJ from Germany Her collection of songs and albums are really impressive. I also love the lyrics on Charmbracelet, every trinket a story. (Friday 20 January 2017; 19:47)

Charmbracelet (71,486) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) What I appreciate about this album is that there was a story being through MC's ideas and more importantly her pen. The only problem here was the whispery vocals dominated the album had she given a variety of vocal moments like she did on the Charmbracelet tour I think the album would have been a little better received even though during that time Mariah was on the outside of the industry looking in and anyone associated with her was considered wack or unpopular. For me MC is at her best when she can put a body of work together that can feed a little bit everything the pop/R&B/AC with hip hop undertones. Simply because it satisfies her entire fan base and the masses alike. (Friday 20 January 2017; 16:05)

Re: Charmbracelet on replay - The one? (71,483) (71,485) by Edouard from France Charmbracelet is a great album. I get some of the things said about her way of singing. I think she tried a diffrent sound and approach. Remember that at the time people were not into big vocals, they were more into rock and hiphop with light vocals. the same hiphop era that MC helped pave the way for. I think her voice works very well for Subtle Invitation and Lullaby (hence the title). My fav in order are: - Subtle Invitation - TTR (always, such an important message) - The One - Yours - Lullaby - My Saving Grace - Clown - You had your chance I love, love, love the fact that on Lullaby there is only 1 note towards the end were she actually "raises" her voice. On the last "no-body holds a candle to you and I". It makes it even more powerful/impactful. (Friday 20 January 2017; 15:51)

Re: Trump (71,476) (71,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The way it seems, Stella would have considered it had Team Trump called them. Maybe at that point Mariah would be like "hell no" but Stella would definitely have considered and this is based on the interview she gave where she was asked would Mariah consider performing there and Stella said "we didn't get any calls" instead of "no, she wouldn't" or a more diplomatic "Mariah's plate if full, she doesn't really have any more space for taking new appointments". (Friday 20 January 2017; 15:50)

Re: Charmbracelet on replay - The one? (71,479) (71,483) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "The One" is definitely one of the best songs on that album. I love both the main and the remix version. It should have been the single instead of "Boy". (Friday 20 January 2017; 15:24)

Re: Charmbracelet - Through the Rain vocals (71,478) (71,482) by Terna from Nigeria True, regardless it's still my favorite song and Charmbracelet's core. And I play it ever so often just not the whole album. And I would say it's also a classic now. So many people know that song especially the younger generation, even if they don't know who sang it. (Friday 20 January 2017; 15:17)

Re: Charmbracelet (71,473) (71,481) by Terna from Nigeria I understand exactly where you're coming from especially about the vocals on "Through the rain". I noticed immediately that it was recorded without any reverb thus making it sound thin (for lack of a better term). And vocally Charmbracelet was missing her chest/mixed voice. She's either "whispering" or "shouting". No inbetweens. Those were some frustrating days to be a Lamb. But then there came "The Emancipation Of Mimi". Wow, by "We Belong Together" even before the powerful phrasing and final belt, I suddenly exclaimed "she's singing again". Haha and that was just the second track. By "Mine Again" everyone in the room just went "Jesus". Lol. (Friday 20 January 2017; 14:42)

Re: Ty, Charm-girl (71,464) (71,480) by MusicfanJ from Germany I find it refreshing too. I love the sound of "Lullaby". "Yours" and "I only wanted" are amazing. And I love the "mean" Mariah on Clown, the lyrics and the guitar are just perfect. It has something for everybody. I even like the rapper on this album. "Subtle invitation" with this jazzy tone, I was so surprised. And I'm still in love with "Bringin' on the heartbreak". What a great cover from Mariah. Rock-pop suits her. Charmbracelet is so underrated. It's a piece of art. And the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you. "Trough the rain" and "My saving grace" are so emotional, that I had tears from the first listening back in the day. So I'll stop with the praising. (Friday 20 January 2017; 14:10)

Re: Charmbracelet on replay - The one? (71,479) by Sheila from United States Seems like we all finally agree. The One is the standout? (Friday 20 January 2017; 11:52)

Re: Charmbracelet - Through the Rain vocals (71,478) by Sheila from United States If she didn't whisper in that low tone in the beginning it would be perfect. You have to admit when she hits that bridge and she goes into full voice its like God opened a door and that voice just shines. The One remixes are incredible one of my friends loves one of those mixes. (Friday 20 January 2017; 11:49)
