MTV 90's (102,341) by Lainsky from Philippines Most people are not watching TV nowadays because of the internet. Well, last night, I missed browsing the channel and stopped at the MTV channel. They were showing the 50 Greatest Heartbreak Songs of the '90s on their MTV '90s Hits program. There's Celine Dion, Whitney, Bryan Adams, All-4-One, and of course, Mariah Carey at No. 2 with "Without You", and Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart is at No.1. It brings a lot of memories. I remember I was waiting for any Mariah videos every chance I got. But the most memorable was when Honey was released. My jaw dropped seeing the new Mariah then. That music video remains her best for me. The same goes with the Butterfly album, the other single videos, especially Breakdown and The Roof almost. What a throwback weekend.

Ain't No Other Fan (102,340) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Yes, I think we all know that is one of the reasons Mariah's voice has detoriated, we are well aware that Mariah smokes weed. But I love her carefree behaviour on stage while doing it. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 20:49) this is a reply to message 102,337

Ain't No Other Fan (102,337) by Bill from the UK This is a pretty idiotic suggestion. Smoking of any kind is well known for having extremely adverse effects on the vocal cords, lungs, and throat and can lead to long-term throat and lung injury. Shortness of breath, constant dehydration, loss of vocal range, and even irreversible damage are all other negative by-products of smoking. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 07:04)

I Still Believe (102,339) by Bobby A from United States There is something special about MC's cover of I Still Believe. Listening to my ISB 12 inch brought me to post today. 1. It has to be MC's most real, carefree, and casual vocal ever. She sings with such ease without over using her higher register. 2. It was the combination of R&B and Pop that was highlight of MC's delivery. 3. If you have the CD maxi single or 12 inch versions, then you have something rare in your hands. In fact, there were five completely distinct versions released. The ISB remixes are by far one of MC's best remixes. 4. MC's cover of ISB was her way of paying tribute to her mentor and former boss, Brenda K. Starr. 5. Lastly, MC's use of the Pure Imagination interpolation was a brilliant and genius choice for the remix melody. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 14:23)

Ain't No Other Fan (102,338) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely disagree. I don't want to see a high Mariah on stage. It's not my business what people do take privately but on stage a pro should not take anything. Just embarrassing and not needed at all. Even the Stones are living healthy nowadays on tour. Lol.

Ain't No Other Fan (102,332) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I have just watched the YouTube video made by Ain't No Other Fan, the video name is long, but here it comes: "The one where Mariah Carey got *high* and proved her voice." It's from her Jamaican concert a few years back, and yes, we all know she was influenced by something, and it was not Chardonnay, darlin'. The performance is a mess, but hell, Mariah was so at ease that evening that she hit high notes and had runs she hadn't done in years and haven't done since. I can admit that I have taken the same substance as Mariah that evening sometimes, aan it really eases you off, makes you feel comfortable, down to earth, high in confidence and really good about yourself. I have watched the video, and all I can say is, if that is what make our girl Mariah relax and hit those high notes and runs, we know she can make, well hell, she should really hit them joints every show, relax, and show them girls and boys how you really sing.

Mariah and JLo always release an album the same year (102,335) by Stacey from USA We don't know her. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 03:52) this is a reply to message 102,333

Mariah and JLo always release an album the same year (102,333) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia JLo is planning to release her new album this year, This Is Me... Now. So I guess this year would be the year where Mariah would release her album too. I've been observing far too long that somehow Mariah and JLo would always release an album the same year. Maybe it's coincidence or their management wanted to capitalize their rivalry for marketing. Here's the recap: 1. On The Six, Rainbow (1999) 2. JLo, Glitter (2001) 3. This Is Me Then, Charmbracelet (2002) 4. Rebirth, The Emancipation (2005) 5. Brave (October 2007) E=MC2 original plan was to release end of 2007 but was pushed back to 2008 6. AKA, Me I Am Mariah (2014) (Saturday 11 March 2023; 02:41)

Remixes (102,334) by Bobby A from United States Stacey, your post got me thinking again. Why didn't MC release more remix albums during her height of her career? They would have done extremely well. We have only gotten one official remix album - The Remixes. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 03:40) this is a reply to message 102,331

Remixes (102,331) by Stacey from USA Welcome to the club, Randy and Eddie. I replace album versions for remixes all the time. I love some remixes better than the album version. The Morales remix of Honey took out my speakers too. I found a fan made radio edit that if it weren't a digital copy, it would have worn out long ago, lol. I remember when my sister got me a CD-5 for ABMB. It was like discovering a whole new world of music I honestly had no idea existed. Talk about receiving the ultimate Christmas present. That was it. We can say what we want about the current state of Mariah's career in 2023. But there is no denying her talent is unmatched by anyone on Earth. Add in her remixes, her career is unmatched by anyone in the freaking universe. Excuse me while I go and blast Honey Morales Remix and ruin a few more speakers. (Saturday 11 March 2023; 00:33)

Remixes (102,325) by Randy from USA I don't know if I told y'all this but I started replacing the album tracks with the rap or remix version of her songs. I put the Bad Boy Remix of Honey with Mase and the Lox as track one of Butterfly. I also switched out The Roof and Breakdown with the longer rap versions that were on the maxi-singles. I replaced Fantasy with the Bad Boy mix. That's the one with both the pop hook and r&b hook and ODB. I replaced Obsessed with the one with Gucci Mane and replaced Up Out My Face with the one with Nicki's rap. I also replaced Angel's Cry for the duet version with Neyo. On my Club/Hip Hop playlist I have My All/Stay Awhile. On my Dance playlist I absolutely live for the 13 minute Through The Rain Mix Hex Hector did, the 12 minute Fantasy David Morales Mix, the My All Classic Club Mix (even though I'm sick of feel ya body, feel ya body, feel ya body), I also have both the I Still Believe mixes (the kings mix and the club mix). Finally the Don't Forget About Us Ralphi Rosario & Craig J Mix is awesome. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 22:51)

Remixes (102,329) by "MariahHater" from Hell So true. I wish she could create new remixes again in true Mariah power and fashion. Her remixes have a life of its own. I love her Pop and R&B stuff but c'mon (in Mariah's voice) hoodriah is caviar ratchet. Early this day, I was listening to AA remix album for the first time and I must really say it slaps. I hope she will consider to release it this this decade especially the HATEU remix. I don't really get tired listening to this. (Friday 10 March 2023; 12:36)

What if Charmbracelet had a different colour? (102,328) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm listening to Charmbracelet on vinyl atm, and every song is its own moment, and gorgeous lyrically and vocally. I pose the question: what of Charmbracelet had another colour other then taupe as its theme? If you couldn't choose taupe, what colour would you rebrand this album with to give life and the acceptance to this beautiful album? (Friday 10 March 2023; 05:00)

Yours (102,326) by Mirage_Nunez from America Speaking of unreleased duets, I was also looking forward to Languishing featuring Robin Thicke. Their voices would melt together perfectly on that track.

Yours (102,323) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song is still so good. I love that it's so dreamy. It's unique and pure Mariah. Justin and his management were so stupid that they didn't want to release the remix with Mariah. That was a missed opportunity. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 18:22)

Remixes (102,322) by Edward from USA Mariah is definitely the queen of great remixes, as in her maxi singles were like mini albums. My speakers suffered a stroke since I blasted the Honey and Heartbreaker maxi singles so much, it had to be put on life support. Many of her remixes were far superior than the original. She was definitely a tour de force. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 13:36)

Yours (102,324) by Bobby A from United States Great post. Maybe this could be a new TikTok video for wedding rehearsals that could garner support for Jive/RCA to allow MC and IDJ to release the remix/duet this summer. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 22:21) this is a reply to message 102,323

Remixes (102,321) by Bobby A from United States I just found today my Fye Mix and Burn copy of #Beautiful remix with A$AP Rocky and Miguel. I like that remix better than the Jessy remix. One thing that we can say about MC and her remixes is that she started the multiple remix genre featuring other artists and rappers on a different version of a song. DFAU is another one that fits into that genre. MC doesn't get enough credit for starting certain aspects of remixes and vocal stacking. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 12:14)

Remixes (102,320) by Edward from USA BB still counts remixes, but if they are structurally different from the original song then they're considered as two different songs. If Jennifer's I'm Real (Murder Remix) and Mariah's Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) were released today, they wouldn't be considered as remixes for BB purposes, so their airplay, streams and sales wouldn't be combined with the airplay, streams and sales of the original songs. In other words, if you can't recognize the original song in the remix, then they two different songs. #Beautiful and #Beautiful (Jeezy Remix) had combined airplay, streams and sales. While Jesse's rap was added, the lyrics and music didn't go far from the original. Same with Big Energy, but since the original was more popular, Mariah wasn't credited.

Die For You (102,319) by Critter from USA Grande has matured so nicely that her voice is almost evoking the same resonance (for me) as our young Mariah did in last century. I will start paying more attention to her from now on. (Thursday 9 March 2023; 00:59) this is a reply to message 102,318

Die For You (102,318) by JC from USA You're right. Remixes are counted and whichever one dominates gets credited. That's why you're seeing artists today release several remixes last minute (ie Nicki Minaj, a super freaky girl) in hopes of reaching the summit. Here's a great Reddit post I found when I quickly searched following reading your post which talks through the changes BB has made, quite comprehensively. A lot of changes over the year. I do think Mariah would have a lot more "hits" if promo singles were counted back in the day. Then again, so would others, and labels would've restrategized rollouts to accommodate it.

Die For You (102,315) by jaker20 from US I'm not a chart expert, but I think BB count remixes all the time. The only difference is who gets credited, which has a different rule. The rule is that the remix has to sell more than the original (or I think there's a specific ratio), for the featured artist to get credited. For example, Mariah wasn't credited for Latto's BER last year. In spite of her contribution actually helping the song immensely. If it wasn't for her remix version, the song wouldn't get to the top 10, nor become a big hit that it was. (Wednesday 8 March 2023; 18:16)

Vocal nodules (102,317) by Terna from Nigeria I think she should explore other options like speech therapy first, giving up bubbly and see if it helps, then surgery if it does not. There's qualities an sections of her voice missing now as a result of singing the way she does after developing nodules. 1996 is when Mariah damaged her voice touring with developing nodules (one could already hear that airiness creeping in) and then again in 1998 and finally 1999, her voice was shot - just [pop] in the [Rainbow] CD and listen. I look forward to seeing her blow again on stage but not just that, work with a qualified coach this time to maintain her instrument and be disciplined as a singer of her caliber should. Remind the world again why that name "Mariah Carey" is [music] personified. (Wednesday 8 March 2023; 19:44) this is a reply to message 102,295
