Speaking about deep cuts (113,013) by TJ from Norway Long Ago. I love the song, the beat. Everything about it. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 23:09) this is a reply to message 113,008

Speaking about deep cuts (113,008) by MusicfanJ from Germany I enjoyed your post very much. I think I know what you mean with "Long ago". I never heard a female singer sing so "cool" and urban like Mariah did on Long Ago. The same with Fantasy. But what I loved about Long Ago was the groove and at the same time the sad undertone. It's almost hypnotic. "Want you" is very underrated too. I love that "80ies tune" and her soft, soulful voice on it. Her music catalogue is outstanding. Mariah can sing every genre, from pop to soul/RnB, jazz, country, soft-rock, gospel, blues, maybe grunge lol. It's very rare, and almost every album sounds different. It can never get boring. I still have to discover her newest album fully. But NII and "I won't allow it" are my favourites too. "Your love" is beautiful too. Mariah is the queen of covers too.

Deep cuts album (113,011) by Lighty from China Since some of you think the Rainbow cover is a little bit too much, I wonder what do you guys think of the #1's cover? I actually find it sexier than Butterfly and classier than Rainbow. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 17:33) this is a reply to message 113,007

Deep cuts album (113,007) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I also think it wasn't needed. She was sexy and carefree with Butterfly but the cover from Rainbow is not so good. Of course it was the "bubblegum pop time" in 99 but I never liked the look from the cover. The look from the "Against all odds" video was beautiful and the many live performances around the world were mostly classy and pretty. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 11:19)

Timing is everything (113,009) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking the same thing. HFIA should have been released in October with IYF as the lead single on the same day to benefit from MC's holiday airplay and Christmas concerts. The whole vibe of HFIA is not very summery, but it exudes a walk in the city or sitting by the fireplace at home listening experience. By the way, Jesus I Do received two NAACP Image Award nominations. We can vote on the NAACP Image Awards website until February 7th. The awards ceremony takes place on BET on February 28th.

Timing is everything (113,006) by Lara from Middle East HIFA has so much potential but I think its timing was off and kinda rushed. I guess they wanted it out before TS takes over. Type Dangerous video seems rushed out, remember it was delayed because of editing? Sugar Sweet video never saw the light. Knowing that if she sang it with Kehlani alone it might've had more chance to get it done (easier to get together 2 people than 3), and she could've benefited from Kehlani recent success from her Folded single. If she had released it a bit before Christmas, get those 2 singles ready by release, and released Play This Song like last week just before Bruno Mars released his music, she also would've also benefited from the extra exposure Anderson .Paak got. I definitely feel she was rushed to it. Look at Bruno Mars, he posted one day before his album announcement and the day after released the single with the video ready. I'm no expert but I don't think that video costed more than TD, but it looks way more polished and constructed. He waited 10 years to release but released in control. It doesn't look like that for Mariah anymore sadly, maybe her condition doesn't allow it to control like she wants to. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 07:42)

Speaking about deep cuts (113,003) by Haiji from United States Alone In Love (up until recently, a couple posts here have shown love to it), Sent From Up Above, If It's Over, Never Forget You, I Am Free, Long Ago, Forever, The Beautiful Ones, Crybaby, Want You, Subtle Invitation, Joy Ride, O.O.C., Ribbon, Standing O, and Faded. These songs don't really get much love imo. Just until recently I've seen a few posts that mentioned AIL. Especially the post about it being a mature song, and I agree. The vocal even sounds mature. It's one of my favorite from her debut along with SFUA. It's mainly the production and background vocals that I love. With IIO, it always gave me timeless, soulful, real. I never could decide on which version is the best, the original, the grammys or snl. They're all great. I wish the whistle was clearer on the grammys version. NFY was probably my favorite song on MB. It was actually the extended remix. So underrated. It's One Sweet Day's little sister. IAF is vocal masterpiece, lead and background. The writing is almost foreshadowing. Wasn't it written before she was actually "free"? Long Ago along with IAF, are my 2 favorites off Daydream. Long Ago was so hip hop to me back then in the late 1900 and 90s lol I remember while wearing headphones, discovering a vocal part at the end where she's using her tongue to make the sound and it blew my mind but no one else could hear what I was hearing lol. Forever is so classic sounding, it almost gives soft Hawaiian vibes and idk why younger me always pictured Elvis Presley in a black and white movie in Hawaii wearing a flower lei lol. The climax on that song is so good. TBO is so euphoric to my ears, from both Sisqo/Dru Hill and MC. Omg the vocal harmonies, it's like it was like the original but completely a whole different song. Love both versions but MCs surpasses the og. Once Again the climax, Crybaby had me in high-school sing-crying "why is it 5am and I'm still up spiraling. I don't get no sleep, I'm up all week", after a breakup lol. Want You, to me, is almost the epitome of an 80s r&b/pop song. The whole production and lyrical style could've easily been on the radio in the 80s. Such a great song. Subtle Invitation should've been a single. It's never mentioned when speaking about writing. Her pen was on point considering times were changing and r&b was heading towards a more explicit tone. Oh Joyride, I love you so much. You truly take me through that roller-coaster ride. And that ending, wow. Wish that voice was still here, but the song is, so I'm good. OOC is so fun and free. I wish she'd do more song like this. It's the little sister to both I Won't Allow It and You Don't Know What To Do. Ribbon is great but my favorite version is the remix with Dream and Ludacris. It's so sexy and her vocals were fire during this era. Standing O was good as well and should've been a single but I believe she had legal issues with this song. It was the only one that didn't get a remix treatment for Angels Advocate album. Faded is my favorite off MIAM, my least favorite album. I listen to a few tracks off of it but don't care for the vocal tuning and metalic sound on her. Faded was the most natural sounding song on there and I absolutely love the whistle note on it. I didn't mention any songs from Caution because I do see a lot of love for the majority of the songs on it. HFIA is new, so we still need some time to let it marinate lol. Although I feel I Won't Allow It should eventually be a single with video. Anyways, hope yall enjoyed my rant lol and hope everyone is blessed for this new year and the other new year some celebrate (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 03:58)

Deep cuts album (112,995) by Stacey from USA 100% agree. I've never understood the need to "bare it all". I think in Mariah's case, she had been controlled in all aspects of her life for so many years, she swung the pendulum too far the other way once she left TM. I get why she was trying to make a statement. I just don't understand the need to go about it the way she did. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 17:51)

MC17 (113,005) by Lainsky from Philippines I feel the same way, Giovanni, I prefer "Caution" over "HFIA". I've been dreaming about an album where Mariah Carey returns to her beginnings. I envision a sound reminiscent of her earlier work, similar to her first albums up to "Daydream". It would have a pop vibe with a touch of R&B, featuring elements like those found in "Fantasy" or "Dreamlover", as well as "Love Takes Time" or "Without You", and songs akin to "Underneath the Stars" or "Can't Let Go" Additionally, it would be great to hear another remake or duet, which has become a tradition on her albums. I hope she titles the album something like "Nostalgia", "Old School", "Back Then", or "Classic", something that fits the overall theme.

MC17 (112,997) by Giovanni from USA As good as HFIA is, I like Caution much more. I just love r&b Mariah and her hip hop production. My question is what do some of you want to hear from the next album? I'd really like Mariah to work with Skrillex and JD again. I really want another Caution maybe part 2 lol.

Emotions album (113,002) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Back in the day, when I used to force myself to pick a favorite album, Emotions was the one. Don't know why exactly, but Can't Let Go and Till the End of Time were mainly the ones to blame, and the high notes on Emotions and You Don't Remember as well. Wow. So many highlights on this album. And her voice on top form. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 01:19) this is a reply to message 112,996

Emotions album (112,996) by Giovanni from USA I love the Emotions album, very mature and cohesive. The only song I skip is "You're so cold". I have always said "Emotions" is Mariah's best song while some might say "Fantasy" is. "Can't let go", "Make it happen" along with "Till the end of time" make the album in my opinion. I would have swapped out "You're so cold" for "Can you hear me", also "Emotions" song really deserved a Grammy. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 19:40)

Channeled message (113,001) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Where are you going? (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 01:10) this is a reply to message 112,985

Channeled message (112,985) by Dove from United States What makes a song good is that it makes you feel something. Sometimes I think about how Mariah's voice is not as majestic as what it once was and it makes me feel a little bit sad. Before, she could make me feel something with just her voice alone. But then I think about people who don't have the most impressive voices who are still able to make us feel something. Taylor Swift comes to mind. (Britney too although what she makes me feel is different. Her songs make me feel young, fun, and carefree.) Mariah is still a a good singer. I think she needs to dig deep and write songs that are more than superficial right now. (Although, fun/superficial songs have their place too.) I feel like collectively people are experiencing a huge shift and we're going through a portal. Mariah is anointed. She needs to tap in. The world needs her voice. Mariah please tap in (to source) and deliver us messages that will help us make it through what we're about to go through. Release them digitally for free as they come as charity to the world. When you have 10 songs, release them on an album. Eventually your descendants will be compensated for your contribution. Sometimes messages come through me. That one was for Mariah. I do apologize for making anybody feel uncomfortable who doesn't believe in this stuff but I felt a strong urge to share it here. We (here) are connected to Mariah on the ether. I'm about to go complete offline before the New Year (Spring equinox) and I probably won't be coming on here in a very long while but I wish the best for everyone and hope to see you all on the other side of this. I love you guys. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 00:52)

Deep cuts album (112,999) by Jamie from UK Love Can't Let Go. I listened to it all the time. I listened the other day and it was like the first time I heard it. Till The End of Time is a masterpiece such raw emotion. Emotions is one of my favourite albums, the songs are powerful and have so much depth. Never understood why it didn't sell as well especially with Emotions the song as the lead single. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 21:55) this is a reply to message 112,990

Deep cuts album (112,990) by Stacey from USA Till the End of Time is one of those deep cuts that doesn't get enough credit (outside of this board). Absolute emotional masterpiece.

Channeled message (112,998) by Bill from the UK As Baby Jane said, you can lose everything else, but you can't lose your talent. Never count a songwriter out.

Channeled message (112,991) by Stacey from USA The thing I've always admired about MC's songwriting is her ability to put into words all the crazy emotions I am feeling. The other day I listened to HFIA in my car. Nothing is Impossible started to play. I listened to this song more intently than I had before. What a masterpiece. Sure her voice isn't what it use to be, but listening to NII sung twice at the end with the piano ending the song, I marvel at her talent still. I can only imagine the look of personal satisfaction once that song was finished. HFIA is an absolute gem. Here is hoping for a few more moments to show how amazing that album is.

Deep cuts album (112,992) by Dave from USA Her earlier works definitely sound more grown and refined compared to some of her later work. I have always loved "Alone in Love" as one of her better deep cuts. Just a beautiful song and her voice sounds so relaxed and soulful. Certainly more adult oriented material. I think the shift happened around the Rainbow album. While I was excited when "Heartbreaker" came out, especially with the work/money that went into the video, once I saw the album artwork, there was a moment that I asked myself "Why MC? You don't need to take off the clothes to keep the light on you." (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 16:25)

Channeled message (112,994) by Edward from USA I love "NII". Her use of the whistle register at the end is ethereal, simply beautiful. "HFIA" is a great album. Considering how many songs she's never performed live, it's a bit of a shame she didn't push it vocally on a couple of tracks, I know she could have. Lyrically the album is strong, sadly, the voice just isn't quite what it used to be. There's this guy on YouTube who did a review of the album and basically said: "Wow, this is great, but it's like I know it's Mariah... just a different Mariah." That sums it up perfectly.

Deep cuts album (112,993) by Edward from USA Even though I love myself some "Vanishing", "Till The End of Time" is on a completely different level. She sings it with so much passion that even people who don't speak the language can feel it. I remember listening to it once when an Argentine friend of mine, who doesn't speak English, was literally left open-mouthed by the build-up. He immediately demanded a second listen. That's when you know a performance transcends words. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 17:04) this is a reply to message 112,990

You don't need to take off the clothes to keep the light on you." (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 16:25) this is a reply to message 112,984

Deep cuts album (112,984) by MusicfanJ from Germany "When I listen to the album, it feels like Mariah's most 'adult' album despite it coming so early in her career." I absolutely agree. The album always seemed so grown-up and classy. I love that. It's still one of her best records. Always in the shadow from Music Box, but such an outstanding work by such a young Mariah, which makes it even more considerable. The melodies and lyrics, pure poetic art.

Channeled message (112,991) by Stacey from USA The thing I've always admired about MC's songwriting is her ability to put into words all the crazy emotions I am feeling. The other day I listened to HFIA in my car. Nothing is Impossible started to play. I listened to this song more intently than I had before. What a masterpiece. Sure her voice isn't what it use to be, but listening to NII sung twice at the end with the piano ending the song, I marvel at her talent still. I can only imagine the look of personal satisfaction once that song was finished. HFIA is an absolute gem. Here is hoping for a few more moments to show how amazing that album is.

Channeled message (112,985) by Dove from United States What makes a song good is that it makes you feel something. Sometimes I think about how Mariah's voice is not as majestic as what it once was and it makes me feel a little bit sad. Before, she could make me feel something with just her voice alone. But then I think about people who don't have the most impressive voices who are still able to make us feel something. Taylor Swift comes to mind. (Britney too although what she makes me feel is different. Her songs make me feel young, fun, and carefree.) Mariah is still a a good singer. I think she needs to dig deep and write songs that are more than superficial right now. (Although, fun/superficial songs have their place too.) I feel like collectively people are experiencing a huge shift and we're going through a portal. Mariah is anointed. She needs to tap in. The world needs her voice. Mariah please tap in (to source) and deliver us messages that will help us make it through what we're about to go through. Release them digitally for free as they come as charity to the world. When you have 10 songs, release them on an album. Eventually your descendants will be compensated for your contribution. Sometimes messages come through me. That one was for Mariah. I do apologize for making anybody feel uncomfortable who doesn't believe in this stuff but I felt a strong urge to share it here. We (here) are connected to Mariah on the ether. I'm about to go complete offline before the New Year (Spring equinox) and I probably won't be coming on here in a very long while but I wish the best for everyone and hope to see you all on the other side of this. I love you guys. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 00:52)

Deep cuts album (112,990) by Stacey from USA Till the End of Time is one of those deep cuts that doesn't get enough credit (outside of this board). Absolute emotional masterpiece. Still annoyed at stupid Sony for denying Can't Let Go a #1 title. Ugh. So deserving of one. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 15:50) this is a reply to message 112,984
