Rainbow 25 (106,669)
by jaker20 from US

|
|
He's been bitter since 1997 but it only came to light when Rainbow was released. He thought Mariah was nothing without him so when the album came out and she seem to be doing just fine and giving no feks about him and then back in the dating game is probably when he started puling those strings in the background.

MC was a very confident 30 year old to stand up to Sony. Not too many 30 year old female artists would decide to cut ties with a major company like Sony after unparalled success. I wonder why Tommy gave MC such hard time during the whole Rainbow era. Why was he still mad in 1999 when he granted MC a divorce after hearing Butterfly in 1997? Was he bitter because MC was dating Luis Miguel and working with David Foster? Questions here in Texas waiting for midnight.

But it is Dolby Atmos though. The best sound technology today.

Remaster who? (106,667)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Ever since digital audio remastering became common, the usual approach has been to simply crank up the volume. In some cases, this remastering process can strip away the original feel that some albums once had. If remastering cleans and improves the audio quality, such as in recordings where static noise is prevalent, I'm all for it. However, if it merely increases the volume, I don't see the point.
I'm more excited about the remixes and the possibility of new tracks.

I just saw a full bonus track list of Rainbow25 posted on Mariah Report. I don't know if it's legit but seems plausible. I see a version of "Thank God I Found You" with Mariah only and two different versions of "Rainbow's End" listed. I wonder if Mariah recorded a ballad version of "Rainbow's End" in addition to the house version with David Morales.

What is "A Thousand Lifetimes"? Did [Crystal ball] actually get made or was it just a rumor? Lastly, from the way it's been talked about, I never got the impression that the duet version of After Tonight was completed. If that's the case, I'd love to hear demo snippets.

How Much remix (106,657)

If I remember correctly, How Much was supposed to be the third single from Rainbow but Mariah wanted CTTA instead.

How Much remix (106,652)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|

You may be on to something. Sony did not want any R&B hip hop infused songs from Rainbow as singles. Remember the Can't Take That Away From Me/Crybaby battle with Sony. Maybe How Much was going to be the original second single after Heartbreaker and Sony said no and released Thank God I Found You instead.

Maybe "How Much" was a possible single from "Rainbow" and they recorded a remix version in 1999 in addition to the JD-produced original version with Usher?

I agree. Case in point WBT. She was ready to submit the album, but went back with JD and wrote it in a day. Also she said the iconic climax was on the spot her trying to impress the suits and she gave it her all. Same with some of her other songs from TEOM like ILT, SIO. She should take it easy and let her magic do the work.

Article: Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" gets remastered (106,654)
by Jamie from UK
| |
|
|
I sometimes feel Mariah spends too much time on projects, perfecting them. Sometimes the best ideas are sporadic. And analyzing and perfecting things can sometimes take away from the original idea. I also think when you analyse something over and over something that isn't that great from the start can almost feel better after becoming over familiar with it. It's like when a song is released from her that isn't that great and after a while you learn to love it as you have become over familiar with it. I bet most of her big hits were all in the moment songs that were great from the offset.

Article: Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" gets remastered (106,651)
by Scott from USA
| |
|
|
While I am excited to hear the remastered album and any unreleased material, I am not so sure that I agree with this article's assertion that "Mariah had invested quite a bit in this album". Rainbow was created quickly and in response to delays on the development of the Glitter film. Additionally, it completed her contract with Sony, which I think was Mariah's strongest motivation for putting an album out at the time. She wanted to close that chapter of her life. There are certainly some moments on Rainbow that I love - Heartbreaker is an instant classic, and songs like Petals and Ex-Girlfriend gave us some (somewhat uncharacteristically) autobiographical lyrics about Mariah's life at the time - but overall Rainbow feels to me like Mariah's most rushed work. That being said, it's fun, it's sexy, and it's perfect for Pride Month.

I can't wait to hear the remastered sound of this album. Songs like Heartbreaker sounds good and clear, but other songs on this album sounded like it was recorded in the debut eras woodshop bathroom.
I do hope we get an acapella version of Heartbreaker. I'd love to hear her vocal layering on that version.

Celine (106,643)
by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States

|

It won't. Why would it? It's "interesting" how so many lambs are suddenly feeling for Celine and seemingly co-opting her heartbreaking condition as a nebulous way to explain Mariah's vocal state. Is it possible that Mariah also has something going on that has impacted her voice? Yes. Is it also possible that improper maintenance is the cause? Yes. The former absolves Mariah of responsibility and places her in a position of being a victim-something I've noticed lambs love, Mariah as a perpetual victim. The latter holds her responsible, at least in part, and that isn't something the lambily likes to do.

Rainbow Tour footage (106,645)

We know Mariah won’t release a full Rainbow tour concert for Rainbow25. I wonder if we could get an Around the World type release where we could at least see some HQ, remastered footage? That would allow her to cherry pick footage and vocals.
