The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,217) by Jamie from UK
Absolutely. They are pure perfection and still give me goosebumps now after 30 years.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,216) by Bobby A from United States
I just wonder if there are 2-3 more songs recorded for Music Box that are in the vault.

Discounted singles (103,215) by Lainsky from Philippines
Do you think Mariah's singles, which were made available for $49 upon their release or a week after, would reach No. 1 if they sold at their original price? It was just a thought I have been thinking about recently. Heartbreaker and TGIFY have become controversial because of their discounted price. Both skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. There's Honey and OSD too. However, OSD was really popular on the radio like Fantasy. These two singles are destined to be on top.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,214) by Edward from USA
It is perfection indeed. Even though I discovered "Everything Fades Away" years later since it wasn't part of the US version of Music Box, I've placed it at the end of "All I've Ever Wanted", but it always sounds out of place to me. It's a good thing it is now on "The Rarities". "All I've Ever Wanted" vocals are insane.

MC said during the intro to Emotions on the Music Box DVD, "You better sing." I forgot all about how powerful the sisters were on that Emotions intro.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,212) by Andrew from the UK
Everything Fades Away is one of the best unreleased Mariah songs ever. All I've Ever Wanted followed by Everything Fades Away is just magical. Listening to them on repeat now in bed as I used to many years ago. She should have released All I've Ever Wanted. She ought to have received a Grammy for the vocal performance on it. It's perfection.

Nodules (103,211) by Andrew from the UK
Guess what a doctor would say if you presented with nodules on your vocal chords: a) don't drink alcohol b) don't smoke cigarettes or marijuana c) do vocal exercises d) all of the above? When writing about Mariah's nodules there is an air of deception if the context seems to to solely blame nodules on the chords and deflect from Mariah's own behaviour. For, put simply, she has not looked after her voice.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,210) by Jamie from UK
This is what I miss about 90's music, background vocalist would be heavily added to tracks and in short parts usually towards the end would almost be the lead with the artist singing over them. I love Michael Bolton and he used this style, Everything Fades Away is a good example of this. I find it adds depth and texture to songs and can bring out more emotion in certain songs.

How cool would it be for Mariah to do one track with the Price Sisters and Melonie, and team up with Walter for writing and production. She's always going on about the nostalgia darrrrling so give us some nostalgia.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,209) by Bill from the UK
Yes, I remember Melonie not being on the backgrounds for Honey because she felt the lyrics were too suggestive. She's a devout Christian and as I understood it, Mariah kept her off any tracks that might have sailed a bit close to the wind with the lyrical content.

Nodules (103,208) by Terna from Nigeria
At this point, surgery is her only option and I do hope it is successful if true. The [ease] of singing would be restored, her tone would be so much fuller with a cleaner sound, just so many qualities she kept losing over time would be noticeably back. Mariah still has a very youthful or [young] sounding voice just held back by the nodules.

Where's Waldo (103,207) by Brad from USA
Wherever she is, we hope she is well and undertaking measures that will make her happy and keep her health well. Don't do it for the needs and joys of others, MC. Do it for your sake alone. We will always be here for the vast array of what you have already given to all of us. "If you ever need us, we're still here." A cobbled line a la "Subtle Invitation". So we wait.

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,206) by Randy from USA
Yea, I do think they were awesome. But Kelly took some subtle digs about her vocal deterioration that I agreed with but didn't think was classy. And Melonie made a snide remark during an interview that "when I was there it wasn't no songs about touch my body", which I also didn't appreciate. Touch My Body to me is a comedy. A toned down version of WAP. It's meant for you to have fun to, not to take literally. Who really thinks MC wants anyone to touch her body? However, let me be clear. I feel like Trey and Mary Ann are talented but sycophants. They don't care about helping her with her voice or technique. They just say yes, diva and collect their checks.

Last award (103,204) by Will from England
What was the last music related award that Mariah received, that was not a lifetime achievement-esque related?

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,203) by Bill from the UK
I don't feel like The Price Sisters and Melonie get their dues. During the mid-90s they were astonishingly good. I was listening to Merry Christmas (I know, I know, it's August), and I honestly believe they make the album what it is. Their backgrounds on O Holy Night, Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child, Born On This Day, Joy to the World, Silent Night and of course AIWFCIY are phenomenal. Especially AIWFCIY. I'm sorry but that song would not be what it is without their stellar contribution. Then you have their vocals on Anytime You Need a Friend, Dreamlover, Everything Fades Away, Without You, the list goes on. Not to mention the remixes and how their vocal arrangements lift them to complete new heights. What a loss they were. We love Maryann but she's not a patch on those girls.

One can only dream. Many artists have had their nodules treated surgically like Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Adele, Björk, Shirley Manson, Keith Urban, John Mayer and Rod Stewart.

Kelly Price (103,199) by Bobby A from United States
I got this wrong in not pulling out the CD or vinyl. They are still boxed up from my move. I really didn't read any CD liner notes until Butterfly. Lol. Maybe I am just still a little sour and defensive at Kelly for posting that vocal shade at MC some years ago. But I am guilty as well.

I was just about to post that. I don't see the reason for her to lie either. She was very nice about her journey with MC in one of her most recent interviews.

I think she got her nodules removed and the news will be her new voice.

There is also a Mariah Carey Barbie Doll in the making. It will be made by Matel Signature Collection and will feature the doll wearing the red dress Mariah uses in the AIWFCIY (Make My Wish Come True) video.
