Up Out My Face Nick (52,147)
by Mushaakiss from UAE
I was listening to this song as I was driving home and the lyrics just got me thinking how odd that this song was years ago and yet with the news of Nick allegedly trying to get back with Mariah and that alleged statement made that Mariah likes him but she will never ever wanna get back with him it seems as if UOMF is on point with this rumor lol. It's also ironic that Nick directed that video. When she breaks, she breaks. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 16:33)
Favourite track from the debut album (52,146)
by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales
This album is a masterpiece of a debut, and as such I love all the songs on the album. However, I do of course have personal favourites. Aside from the majestic Vision Of Love (which I consider the greatest debut single of all time) and the heartbreaking Love Takes Time, I have always had a real soft spot for Sent From Up Above. It moves me every time and makes me feel good when I feel down. It's a beautiful song and a real hidden gem in the Mariah catalogue. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 16:16)
Fav track from debut album (52,145)
by R&B Junkie from Poland
I always considered "All in Your Mind" and "Vanishing" to be the best tracks of this 1990 effort. This year "I Don't Wanna Cry" joined it due to the fact it's the best song that I can listen to when I am sad and have that feeling that no one's help is needed (it's weird but it happens ). I put much less love into "Vision of Love" and "Someday" (however MTV Unplugged version is one of my favorite MC's tracks ever). Honestly, it's my least favourite album. The next one sits still at my personal top 5 though. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:53)
Excited (52,144)
by B from USA
I'm excited that Mariah is not only performing her 18 #1's but fan favorites as well. I hope she sings Breakdown, The Roof, Butterfly, Looking In, and Outside. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:39)
Re: RJJ12 / enwar00 (52,143)
by Billy from Greece
Thank you both for your responses. RJJ12, I love the Stevie J. remix of ISB too as you noticed and I second what you said about the late 1990s being her peak period in terms of reinventing a song. Enwar00, it is so interesting to read about you "watching your memory" years later. Endless, nostalgic melancholy. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:16)
I love every track on her debut (52,142)
by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada
Yes, the album is dated in that in some ways you can tell it was made in 1990, but seriously when you really think about it, don't tracks like "Prisoner" blow your mind? In my opinion it's so ahead of its time. I will join Bill and freak out if she does that live. Lol I prefer the jackswing remix to Someday, but I like the album version too. Sometimes I can't help wishing she would do "Love Takes Time" and "Can't Let Go" more often. I love "Can't Let Go" (I have noticed the whisper vocal too, Bill). Vanishing will always be one of my favorite songs to sing, and "All Alone In Love" and "There's Got To Be A Way" are just do representative of that era in time. Sigh just so good.

Apart from #1's, will Sony promote/celebrate her 25 years in music? (52,141)
by MC1989 from Spain
I hope Sony will do something related to the first album's 25 anniversary. Daydream turns 20 this year, they have tons of audiovisual material to re-release special editions from this albums (with pictures, comments, rarities and remixes not included in the origonal ones) and release concerts, live performances, etc from these albums/eras. Morover, it's the appropiate time to release a CD+DVD collection with her greatest live performances from TV shows, awards, etc. like they did with Whitney last year. By the way I agree with all of you, Sent From Up Above and Alone In Love are masterpieces. Mariah could do a great rendition of these and many other songs that would fit her current voice. It's a pity that throughout her career she never sang live gems from her albums, like There's Got To Be A Way, To Be Around You, The Wind, I've Been Thinking About You or Long Ago.

The debut (52,140)
by Bill from the UK
Glad to see the album get a lot of love in its 25th year. The debut is one of my most favourite Mariah albums ever. It was so classy and every song is a complete winner. There is not a single track I skip. I agree about everybody's comments on Alone In Love, it is a beautiful track and I love its arrangement as well. Prisoner is fantastic and I would "give my all" to hear her do the song and the rap live. It's just a beautiful album and I play it probably ten times a week. Always on the record player and my iPod to and from work. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:56)
Alone In Love (52,139)
by Tiina from Finland
I'm glad to see this song being praised because it's one of those hidden gems nobody seems to talk about. I'm amazed that she was still in high school when she wrote this song because it's very tasteful and sophisticated. I love the vocals to death on that record. The song has also stood the test of time beautifully. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:32)
Infinity video (52,138)
by Tevin from USA
Does anyone think Fifth Harmony might make a cameo appearance in Mariah's new video? That would be cool. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 13:53)
Favorite songs (52,137)
by B from USA
My favorite songs from the debut album are All In Your Mind, You Need Me, and Prisoner. I also love all four of the #1 singles. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 13:28)
My fav track of her first album (52,136)
by Gilles from Malta
It is funny because at her beginning I didn't really like "Vision of love" but it was "There's got to be away" that kept my attention. I used to listen at this time to Michael Jackson a lot and I love singers that sing in the interest of the planet and human kind like "Heal the world", "Earth song", "What about us". So "There's got to be a way" than "Sent up above" than "Vanishing", "Love takes time" was my "Highlight" on this album. It is very rare that I like MC's #1 at the first listening except for "Hero", "We belong together", "One sweet Day". We are all different lol. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 11:39)
Alone In Love (52,135)
by this_is_qhm from the Philippines
For some reason I feel like its the most elegant song off the debut album. I often listen to it back-to-back with Sent From Up Above. So classy. Those two are my favorite non-singles from it. Alone In Love had serious hit potential. Had it been released, it could have topped the charts, or at least peak within the top 3. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 8:04)
I love (52,134)
by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand
If it wasn't for this great song, Uptown Funk would be the longest running number one single on the Billboard hot 100 along side One Sweet Day. I can't wait to see if UTF holds at number two next week. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 7:52)
Re: B for the USA (52,133)
by MimiLamb from Germany
Yes the one you have as a profile pic I made that for "It's A Lamb Thing" page on Facebook 2,5 years ago. Last week I decided to repost them on my Facebook and Twitter. Somebody used this edit and got a retweet from MC last Tuesday so kind of cool. I don't know if you ever saw the "Keep Calm and Carey On" edit with the #Beautiful background and Butterfly, that is one of mine as well, my personal favorite. I made so many edits, too much to share lol. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 7:01)
Alone in love (52,132)
by Ty from USA
Again whoever does the moderation for this site, stop the nonsense. A capital letter gets you blanked. Girl bye. Wack. [...] is beautifully written and sung, it has that quiet storm heartbroken vibe. So many of Mimi's songs are just perfection: [...], [...], [...], [...] which to me rivals the heartbreak of [...]. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 6:58)

The Coliseum (52,130)
by Manny from U.S.
I uploaded a video on YouTube of the advertisement they are showing at The Coliseum in Vegas. I thought I'd share it. I was there this weekend and couldn't believe no billboards were up for Mariah's residency. There was even a Kourtney Kardashian billboard for her birthday bash that weekend. Really?

All Alone In Love / Billy from Greece (52,129)
by 123 from USA
Billy from Greece, we seem to like a lot of the same stuff. I love that song. It is my favorite off her debut. After I bought Daydream and Butterfly I went back to get my hands on her old albums. This was the first non-single on that album that I loved. It was good enough to be a single. I know a lot of people love Vanishing and so do I, but "All alone in love" is so enchanting. You get sucked in by the melody, clever lyrics and her passionate singing by the end of the song. It was one of the few songs I felt might have come from a personal place of hers instead of a song that was dreamt up by her imagination. I also posted about the Stevie J I Still Believe Remix but no one responded. I loved how she re-wrote the lyrics, it was her peak on totally revamping a song from its original form.

[...] and Vegas (52,127)
by Ty from USA
First off, [...] rarely gets any love. Why? This song is written beautifully and the passion in her voice is sincere and lush and it actually started her trend of [...] broke my heart and I'm not healing, which has lasted 25 years. [...] and [...] are the two songs I can't wait to hear. [...] is the original [...]. May 16th can't get here soon enough. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 1:30)
