Perfection (103,181) by Edward from USA I agree, but Mariah AI "Last Chance" is different. Most Mariah's AI content doesn't sound like her because they need a base voice and then replaces it with her voice. The problem is that AI will still use the base voice style, enunciation,, diction and accent. "Last Chance" was written and produced by Mariah, the whistles at the beginning were originally sung by her. On top of that, the base voice is singing it as Mariah would, so when the voices are switched, it works perfectly. I haven't been impressed with any other Mariah AI covers, but "Last Chance" is perfect for me. I dropped "Closed My Eyes" and "Save the Horrible Day" from "The Rarities" and inserted "Last Chance", "Help Me Make It", "Randy's Theme" and Almost Home", in chronological order of course. Now "The Rarities" is just perfect. (Monday 14 August 2023; 17:15) this is a reply to message 103,178

Perfection (103,178) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I can't stand this KI stuff. It really takes the magic away. I need a real human voice not a human voice mixed by a KI. There's no real emotion on it. (Monday 14 August 2023; 11:22)

Hair (103,180) by Andrew from the UK In saying that, YouTube just put My All from Divas Live on and I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous that hair is - she looks completely bizarre. (Monday 14 August 2023; 13:21)

Perfection (103,179) by Andrew from the UK The AI voice is incredible. I would likely not have known the difference. But you are right: knowing it's not real takes away the essential aspect of listening to and being a fan of an artist - especially in Mariah's case as somebody that writes and produces the music, too. Who gets passionate about a computer? YouTube fed me If Only You Know/Somewhere Over the Rainbow (1998) and You and I (2002) so it redeemed itself. But this AI world needs strict regulation - very quickly. The SAG are right to strike, musicians alike should down tools to negatively impact the Western economy until a regulatory framework is introduced whereby it is unlawful to reproduce someone's image and voice using AI without consent. No good - let me say again - no good can come from any of this. (Monday 14 August 2023; 13:12) this is a reply to message 103,176

Perfection (103,176) by Jamie from UK Not sure I really get these AI vocals, yeah at times it does sound similar to her, but I think by knowing it's not her just takes all the magic away. (Sunday 13 August 2023; 17:32)

Perfection (103,173) by Terna from Nigeria Yeah "All cried out" is a remake by "Lisa Lisa and cult Jam". You can imagine my shock stumbling upon it while on Spotify. Haha. However, I do think Allure did the song better. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 17:11)

Perfection (103,170) by Edward from USA I've always thought Mariah had written "All Cried Out", but it turns out she didn't. It's a remake from the 80's. I'm stunned. There's a possibility Mariah actually remade "All Cried Out" for herself, shelved it and later produced it for Allure. A demo wouldn't make sense now since the original singer sings it in the same key and could be used as a reference. If Mariah didn't remake for one of her a projects, the chances that there's a demo out there are very slim. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 13:06)

Subtle Invitation (103,172) by Bobby A from United States Wow. It is still on YouTube under Thi Hills. I love the original pitch better. Her tone sounds just like her impromptu videos like Circles. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 15:10) this is a reply to message 103,171

Subtle Invitation (103,171) by Bill from the UK On Subtle Invitation, and likely the others you mentioned, her voice is pitched up for the final version. There was an original pitch version of Subtle Invitation floating around a few years back but I don't think it's about anymore, probably got removed. Personally I thought the lower, natural tone sounded better, but who am I? (Saturday 12 August 2023; 13:22)

Subtle Invitation (103,167) by Bobby A from United States The way MC sings on this song has never been talked about before. It's not her head voice nor is it her whisper voice. She does the same type of singing on GTFO and There Goes My Heart Again. Music majors help me out. Are all three sung in the same key? (Saturday 12 August 2023; 07:01)

Perfection (103,169) by Terna from Nigeria I was stunned. It's so realistic and exactly how I always thought she would've sung it - the desperation in her voice on the first chorus, just wow. I immediately made an Mp3 too. Haha. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 11:32)

Perfection (103,164) by Edward from USA This is the best AI Mariah's voice cover so far. It helps that it is sung in her style. Just made my own Mp3 just in case they take it down. It's simply amazing. We need The Rarities 2 right now. (Friday 11 August 2023; 22:14)

Firecracker Loverboy (103,162) by Andrew from the UK It would be truly amazing if someone could overlay the Loverboy video with the Loverboy Firecracker track. (Friday 11 August 2023; 16:13) this is a reply to message 103,139

Loverboy (103,139) by Billy from Greece So, I was thinking about "Loverboy" this morning and watched a video combining the original visuals with the Firecracker version. When "The Rarities" was released in 2020 and I listened to the original (Firecracker) version for the first time I was ecstatic and I was immediately filled with a "coulda woulda shoulda" feeling of what this song could have become, not to mention the lost potential of the "Glitter" soundtrack or even the trajectory of Mariah's career thereafter. It screams smash hit. In a way, the skeleton of the song, namely the track, the key in which it is written, the way the vocals pop in the chorus, brought to my mind the "Heartbreaker (Remix)", which she has often referred to as her favorite version. It is just impeccably catchy and the fact that they ripped her off and sabotaged her so badly just shows that Mariah's musical instincts were so on point that everybody was paying attention. She was at the top of her game creatively. Anyway, as far as the "Candy" version is concerned, I was similarly obsessed with when it came out in 2001. I remember hearing the remix on the radio for the first time on a hot day in June while waiting in my mother's car. While the rap intro was going on I was like, wait, these sighs and "oohs" in the background sound familiar and then I was in shock. Is this the new single? Remember back then, it was usually by accident that you came across a new release. I couldn't wait to hear it again. Although it was chaotic in a way, I mostly associated exuberance, fun and sexiness with the song, which was then enhanced by the saturated colorful visuals. Even the single cover is gorgeous and a total classic in my opinion. I can understand why the song did not have a mass appeal in the form that it was eventually released, although it remains a favorite of mine. Technically speaking, the key in which "Loverboy" was rewritten buried the chorus and made all parts sound a bit cluttered. Actually, Cameo's "Candy" has quite an unconventional beat, which makes it a difficult sample in my opinion, although it's been widely used. Still, whatever the circumstances, I love "Loverboy" in all its forms and still enjoy it to the max. (Sunday 6 August 2023; 11:47)

First Vision (103,156) by Bobby A from United States I just realized today that First Vision was never released on DVD in the U.S. I wonder if it will ever be released with some extra live tracks or an extended Patricia and daughter moment. Also, whenever Sony Legacy chooses the time to break our wallets with boxsets and previously unreleased, it is great time for Lambs. Can you imagine all of the early 90s demo songs all on one CD?

Today Whitney would've been 60 (103,158) by Stacey from USA Like her or hate her. There is no denying her talent. Wow. I hope she finds her peace in the hereafter that she never found on earth. Everyone deserves that. (Thursday 10 August 2023; 04:03) this is a reply to message 103,154

Today Whitney would've been 60 (103,154) by Randy from USA I know everybody on this board has a different relationship with Whitney Houston. Some love her, some hate her. Pushing that aside, she was a human being first. A mother, a daughter, a sister. She truly was one of the best singers of all time who just couldn't get it together because of some dark secrets she felt pressured to keep. I don't care what anyone thinks, I really feel like she and MC liked each other. And I miss her. (Wednesday 9 August 2023; 13:45)
