Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,376)
by Horacio from United States
(Thursday 23 March 2023; 00:25) | | |
Which MC single that did not reach #1 on Billboard Hot 100 has had the best longevity since its release? I think Spotify numbers in the last few years help determine modern reception and enjoyment in the general public. Contenders:
Without You
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Oh Holy Night
When You Believe
I Know What You Want
It's Like That
Shake It Off
Obsessed
#Beautiful |

#Beautiful (102,375)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Wednesday 22 March 2023; 15:22) | | |
| #Beautiful does not have that signature Mariah melody that we have been used to. It is the first time that she recorded a song that was already half-written with the chords and lyrics from two other songwriters - Miguel and Happy Perez. The remix showcases signature Mariah melody more. |

| I love me some #Beautiful, don't get me wrong. I played that song like there was no tomorrow, but there was always the feeling that something was missing. Many speculated back then it was just a shortened version for the radio. One must admit though that it was her last time she was close to having a hit. |

I hear the points but, although short, I like the track and Mariah’s verse. It was a light-hearted summer jam. Sure, not a full blown song, but still superior and integral to her catalogue than Almost Home or Art of Letting Go, both out around the same time (both are guilty pleasures).  |

#Beautiful is a nice song, but it lacks a bridge or something. Some artists sacrifice the integrity of their songs by making them too short in order to have a better chance at a hit. Mariah has just a six-line verse in #Beautiful while Miguel has an 8-line one and then the chorus. Marian [sic] sounded like a guest on her own song.
"All Cried Out" should've been recorded by Marian [sic]. Now that's a great song. |

| Remember in the Fall of 2021 we were all surprised that Fall In Love At Christmas was released on RCA Inspiration and not Epic. Well, I found out today that MC is signed to RCA UK. I guess that RCA UK was all Sony Entertainment could offer MC since she had not submitted a follow up to Caution in a timely manner. Check it out by doing a Google search - Mariah Carey signs with RCA Records. |

| MC really hurt her chances of signing a new deal with Epic when in 2021 she was making her interview rounds criticizing the AR department and Jay Z for the instant grats promotion. For me, Melissa seemed liked a hands off manager and not really focusing on MC as the artist. And MC has lost the one thing that garnered her attention and money - her voice. |

| Ya I am not even sure who's her current manager and if she even is on a label. She was no longer on the Epic roster last I checked and she also left RocNation with her previous manager but not sure if they're still together. It's unfortunate that such a huge star like Mariah hasn't had a good solid stable team for a while. Her only constant has been her glam team. |

"Confidence and charisma then." So true. Everything you said, I see it the same way. Mariah was unstoppable then. The whole 90ies. Every time I watch a clip from that time, I still can't believe. That talent, the look, the voice and yes her charisma. (It could have melt an iceberg.)   I can't watch the "I don't" video, I've watched maybe seven times. But I watch all clips from the 90ies over and over again. It's magic. Mariah's shyness was the sweetest thing. Just adorable. A sweetheart everyone loved. With a voice that goes straight to your heart and stays there forever. |

| Just watched Mariah Someday live at the AMA's in 91 on [YouTube]. My next suggested video was I Don't, how did [YouTube] come up with that. It was actually quite scary to see the change. Mariah always said how shy she was back then, but looking back she actually had more confidence and charisma then. Maybe because she had the voice at her disposal. But it's easy to see why she became America's sweetheart back then, she truly was amazing. |

Lambs request (102,353)
by Edward from USA
(Thursday 16 March 2023; 13:24) | | |
| Aren't we all? I hope there are some killer songs vocally, even if she won't perform them live. Barbra was 55 when she recorded "Tell Him" with Celine. She gave a 29-yo Celine a run for her money. How I wish Mariah's voice were in a similar state, it is so sad. It is what it is though. |
