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?

Perfection (103,166) by Edward from USA
That's an excellent idea, Robert-Anthony. I hope Mariah's paying attention.

I have to make me a copy too. Edward, you just gave me an idea. I am starting The Rarities 2 Twitter campaign tomorrow. Look for it tomorrow evening on MC's Twitter feed.

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.

Butterfly 25th needed this version.

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.

First Vision (103,159) by Jamie from UK
Amazing thought. But I doubt it as not sure music DVD's would sell enough to make them.

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.

Tommy or no career at all (103,157) by Bobby A from United States
Edward, I like to keep the board laughing sometimes. It so boring in MC's world right now. She has taken this sabbatical and didn't tell us.

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 (103,155) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I do believe they liked each other. They had some things in common for sure. I miss Whitney, I grew up with her music. What a voice. Just like with Michael Jackson. The good 90ies, I really miss them so badly. I just bought today a 90ies compilation, because I love the music from that time and have so many good memories from that decade. Even songs which were not so great, are fantastic compared to today's music. We had Rock, RnB, Pop, Soul, Hip-Hop and more genres, there was something for everyone. Real artists and musicians. But back to Whitney, I really wish she would be alive, happy and still making music. So sad.

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.

Tommy or no career at all (103,153) by Stacey from USA
There are some good songs off Rainbow. But it is quite obvious she rushed that album to get out of her deal with Columbia. The album is a mess.

Tommy or no career at all (103,152) by Randy from USA
I'm with you. I like Did I Do That? I just hate that Rainbow, which is a great album, just seems like she was trying to work with everybody popular on one project, ie Jay-Z, Diane Warren, Kandi & Tiny, Missy, Snoop, 98 Degrees, Usher and No Limit.

Tommy or no career at all (103,151) by Bobby A from United States
MC never worked with Master P again after that mishap in the studio. Something is just off with her vocals and lyrics. I cringe every time I hear it. I am glad Clown came along on Charmbracelet to remind us what she is capable of when she is focused and works with one of the best and my favorite production duo Dre and Vidal.

Having applied some further thought to this, we'd also live in a world without Crapfinity, Did I Do That, Boy, and Infamous. So I guess it would all balance out.

Tommy or no career at all (103,145) by JC from USA
Labels will often establish their own variation of what's working/hot. Think the big Latin wave, boy bands, pop princesses, girl groups. Divas are not excluded.

And I would agree Mariah shared more similarities with Whitney at the very start, but they quickly veered away from her richer/darker tones in her voice for more airy and bubbly.

Mariah would've had a career without Tommy, but you have to give him credit. He knew (and ran) the business for decades before her and was masterful (yet controlling) and everything was calculated and perfect up until Mariah took the reigns.

Loverboy (103,144) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
In my opinion, the people at Virgin should have released the original Loverboy Firecracker version. This version is much more radio friendly with Mariah's full vocals during the chorus. Just similar to her others' uptempo leading singles; Dreamlover, Fantasy, and Heartbreaker. So be it, if the other entertainer sampled the same song. Mariah and Virgin should have focused on the marketing and promotion to boost the song to the masses. Mariah made several public tv apearances in June/July 2001 but zero singing. Then how the people are going to like the song? Back then in 2001, tv live performances made a big impact on an artiste unlike now. Instead of participating with a game on TRL in finding her loverboy (June episode) and giving out ice cream to the audience (July episode) she can focus on singing Loverboy live or even singing Never Too Far.

Head Over Heels (103,143) by Bill from the UK
A great AI Mariah singing "Head Over Heels" by Allure. I'd love to hear Mariah's original demo but this is a good representation of what it may have sounded like.
