Glitter25 (114,817) by Can Tavukcu from Germany Maybe we can all stream Loverboy Firecracker so the justice for [Glitter] is actually really strong. (Friday 30 October 2026; 08:50)

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,816) by Bill from the UK I agree, the new bonus tracks are great. I love the demo of Never Too Far. To sing that well, as a raw demo, just showcases what an incredible singer she used to be. To think every song in her catalogue will have a corresponding demo that we’ll likely never get to hear, what a shame. I love Lead the Way 1997, OHOMO alternative, and surprised the Westlife duet was a studio version. And that Glitter medley sounds great even if most of it was studio vocals and not actually live. Think I also prefer the solo Want You, as not sure what Benet actually added to the song. (Friday 30 October 2026; 07:55) this is a reply to message 114,814

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,814) by Bobby A from United States I could listen to these new tracks on repeat for the rest of the year and not get tired of them. They are just a brilliant example of why MC is the greatest songwriter and female vocalist of all time. (Friday 30 October 2026; 00:29)

Lead the Way (114,815) by Lighty from China I think it actually is a rough demo since when Mariah posted the snippet you can see it's labeled under "Roughs". (Friday 30 October 2026; 05:00) this is a reply to message 114,813

Lead the Way (114,813) by Edward from USA Sorry, dahhlings, but I had to use a VPN to place myself in New Zealand, where it's already October 30, to listen to "Lead The Way (1997)". Yesterday, I was going to post about it, but I held off because what I suspected turned out to be true. During the Butterfly era, Mariah mostly used her whistle register as vocal layering or as an embellishment to accentuate certain songs. As I kind of expected, the whistle part is absent in this new version. The song sounds a little unpolished in certain places, more like a demo, but I still like it. I do believe she kept some of these vocals for the Glitter version, though. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 21:02)

JAY-Z / Beyonce / Diddy (114,812) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't want to see Mariah with a rapper on stage this year. She did songs and remixes with almost everyone from the Hip Hop scene. But I don't need Jay-Z with Mariah on stage. I would prefer Mariah only or if she share's the stage with someone please with another singer. When I was a teen I listened to Hip Hop like so many at that time. I didn't understand most of the lyrics, except some parts. Most lyrics are disgusting and hard to listen to now. I prefer clean lyrics. Lol. Or at least more clever and not the cheap, bad language from many rappers. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 18:03) this is a reply to message 114,810

JAY-Z / Beyonce / Diddy (114,810) by nancy from Switzerland A performance with Jay-Z would (somehow) be a good idea. But I don't know if they are still friends. Jay-Z according to Internet has problems with the law. I am not so good informed. If someone has more [info] please let us know. I remember [the] Heartbreaker remix. This song was really nice. I was listening to it all the time. Also MC did not mention the collaborations with Diddy, the white parties she and other artist were invited to. etc. These scandals don't bring Mariah in a positive light. And most of all it is better for her to be surrounded by honest and positive people. I really love those collabos, but hearing those songs today makes me sad. How badly [these] rappers treat women. (Maybe not all.) Another thing is Beyonce. She made a [remix] for Break My Soul (The queens remix.) In this remix Beyonce named a lot of rnb artists. Mariah was not mentioned. I mean really? How can you forget Mariah? It gives me the feeling that she's not getting along with the [Carter] family. I think they have a toxic energy. Let me know what you think about this Thanks to all. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 12:50)

JAY-Z / Beyonce / Diddy (114,811) by Dave from USA I don't think Jay and MC are on good terms anymore, or Bey for that matter. Ever since she left Roc Nation and that rumor came out about them arguing and MC refuting it but Jay said nothing, it's seemed tense since then. It sounds silly overall but I started feeling that way again after MC was nowhere in sight for any of these anniversary Jay Z performances. They were super tight so I was really hoping she would be called out like the other celebs that he has involved that he's been rocking with for years. MC and Bey used to always wish each other happy birthday on social media and I haven't seen that occur over several years. Just seems odd.

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,809) by Bobby A from United States There is a chance that a deluxe 2CD may be available during the holiday season. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 10:37) this is a reply to message 114,806

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,806) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I want the CD for the whole package. Also, Daydream 30th lacks several songs on the second disc. I want CDs. I don't buy [vinyls]. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 00:23)

Jay-Z (114,808) by Zachariah from Croatia Jay-Z headlining the Super Bowl? Now imagine if he threw in just a little snippet of "Heartbreaker" - the song that gave him his first number one as a feature artist along with Mariah Carey on Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. And how iconic would it be if Mariah herself made a surprise appearance? I know it's a long shot, but just imagine those opening notes, Mariah stepping onto that stage, and the stadium going absolutely wild. A lamb can dream, right? (Thursday 29 October 2026; 07:48)

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,807) by Zachariah from Croatia Same here. I don't see the point to by a vinyl since I don't use it. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 07:42) this is a reply to message 114,806

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,799) by Travis from USA Fortunately, there's a CD re-release for this, but unfortunately, it's only the original album and doesn't contain any of the bonus tracks from the anniversary editions which 3 are available on the pink vinyl and 15 are available on the expanded digital edition from what I have seen and researched. (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 02:15)

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,805) by Jamie from UK Well hopefully you're right and it's a studio version. Fingers crossed. Yes I'm looking forward to the 1997 version of Lead The Way too (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 13:47) this is a reply to message 114,804

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,804) by Bill from the UK Mariah's a perfectionist and she's even said she's anxious about alternative takes, as there's a reason why it's not been released. We all remember the "drama" around the wrong version of The Art of Letting Go being released on Facebook and her having some meltdown over it even though it sounded exactly the same as the final version. And Jamie yes, it probably is the live Westlife version, I forgot about that. First thing I'm doing is playing Lead the Way 1997 and then Out Here On My Own alternative take. As for the registered songs, they may never have even been recorded for all we know. And the Prince duet is likely at the behest of his estate. I doubt we'll ever hear it, sadly.

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,794) by BFF from US I'm disappointed because the track listing reads more like a "Loverboy" or "Never too Far" EP rather than a set of rare/vault tracks like what we got for "Music Box". We can all verify the existence of other original songs that Mariah registered for the "Glitter" project. "Royal Tones", "Lillie's Blues", "Glitter" to name a few. It just seems strange to not have at least one or two unreleased songs from a project she worked on for four years. Even if she didn't include new songs, there could have been more variety of alternate versions. The alternate take of "Twister" you can clearly hear at the end of the movie, the live performance of "Reflections (Care Enough)", an alternate take of "Don't Stop". But perhaps she's saving leftover songs for a "Rarities 2" compilation? I hope we at least get full remix EPs for "Loverboy" and "Never Too Far/Hero" on streaming. (Tuesday 27 October 2026; 19:33)

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,802) by Jamie from UK I just presumed it was the live version she did with Westlife. I went to watch Westlife on Sunday. I kept hoping for Mariah to pop up on the screen as a duet for Against All Odds. (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 10:15) this is a reply to message 114,793

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,793) by Bill from the UK Tracks 8 - 15 are all "new" to a degree, and certainly look interesting (writing session, rough demo, alternative takes etc.). It's certainly much better than the Butterfly anniversary edition. Mariah always said her and Westlife were planning to work together again after the success of Against All Odds in Europe, who knew it was a shelved Glitter duet? I just assumed they never bothered. I'm excited. And hey, it's better than nothing. I was hoping she'd put out Loverboy and NTF/Hero EPs as they both had a lot of remixes done for them. (Tuesday 27 October 2026; 18:43)

Article: Mariah Carey teases original "Lead The Way" recording (114,801) by Lainsky from Philippines My second favorite ballad of all time from her discography is making a buzz on X and IG, at least the snippet of the 1997 recording. I hope she releases it as an official single for this album with a music video. It's about time the present world heard her powerful vocals in this well-written, perfectly sung, and well-recorded love song. It's better than We Belong Together, IMHO. For the album, may it debut in the Top 10, ideally higher than No. 7. Just wishing and hoping. (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 04:29)

Daydream album (114,800) by Lainsky from Philippines Really? This is amazing. I never bothered checking out the Billboard chart, except when Mariah charts, which has become quite rare since MIAMTEC. (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 04:23) this is a reply to message 114,797
