Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,195) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Those would 100% be better choices than the random picks from years ago. "Triumphant" to this day remains a good song for me. It was just not the right choice for a lead single (which let's be real it was gonna be a lead but the failure to chart led it to being labelled a buzz single) at that time because people were hungry for new Mariah music and her being basically the chorus girl on the song didn't translate well to the listeners. But I love the video and the song. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 18:36) this is a reply to message 105,194

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,194) by Bill from the UK I would have added Triumphant and Almost Home personally. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 14:07)

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,193) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I always thought it was because it fit the theme of the album of heartbreak and cheating etc. I wonder why she didn't just have 2 extra songs if she knew she was going to do a Target special or put the 2 Beautiful remixes there (the one that was released and the unreleased dance remix).

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,189) by T from USA Does anyone ever wonder what the purpose of putting the two songs from Memoirs (Betcha, Its a Wrap) on The Elusive Chanteuse deluxe edition? Was is it strictly because those two fit the theme of the album or was she actually going to put the two singles from the cancelled Angels Advocate project (UOMF, AC - which would've made more sense since they had music videos and some success), but then decided against that idea once Nicki Minaj became such a brat?

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,192) by Bobby A from United States I think MC needed two songs for the deluxe edition that was going to be sold at Target. She didn't have any extra songs from the recording sessions. MC probably thought what two songs with high profile features from the Angels Advocate remix album would make fans buy the deluxe edition. So, we got R. Kelly and Mary J. Blige. My question is why did she include America the Beautiful? Maybe she was trying to be festive for Memorial Day with it being included on the album. Let's hope MC16 has some brillant decisions. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 13:05) this is a reply to message 105,189

Prized MC possession vs. item lost (105,191) by Billy from Greece I think my most prized MC possession is the SHM-CD of "Charmbracelet". The sound quality is amazing and lets the album truly shine sonically. For your information, SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) is a superior quality CD fully compatible with all CD players. SHM-CD utilizes a polycarbonate material originally developed for LCD screens, and the enhanced transparency of the SHM-CD results in more clarity, depth and definition of sound, bringing the listener ever closer to the music of the original master.

Prized MC possession vs. item lost (105,187) by Bobby A from United States I got to thinking today of my most prized MC possession and an item that I lost. My most prized MC possession is my UK Love Takes Time single with Vanishing and You Need Me. MC looks so pretty on the cover. I don't know where I bought a UK CD single from. My guess is from a music store in the 90s that ordered import CDs. My item lost is not buying an special promo version CD of Forever and Forever live version. I don't why I left out of that music store without that CD single in my hand. The owner priced it for $4. It is worth $100 dollars now on eBay. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 00:39)

Shared Spotify playlist (105,190) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I had a thought. Add your favourite MC songs to this playlist and save it to your library for an "unique" compilation. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 03:39)

Muni Long (105,180) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Robert-Anthony, this is so random. I'm in ATL for work this week and staying on Peachtree St. Hahahaha Vancouver to Atlanta couldn't be farther apart, yet here I sit in my hotel room on Peachtree St. on my first night here. I haven't been to ATL in almost four years. What a random coincidence. (Tuesday 30 January 2024; 06:54)

Muni Long (105,184) by Bobby A from United States I love it too, Terna. She is really Priscilla Renae who co-wrote A No No with MC. (Tuesday 30 January 2024; 13:14) this is a reply to message 105,171

Muni Long (105,178) by Bobby A from United States I imagine on a 2024 JD and MC song, MC would say, "If Jermaine likes it then I like it." His signature tag is so lame now, but he still used it on Ari Lennox's throwback R&B influenced 60s track Pressure. (Tuesday 30 January 2024; 00:45) this is a reply to message 105,174

Who is Caution about? (105,173) by Edward from USA Different from what fans tend to do when Mariah has a fallen out with someone, I don't take away his credit. They made great music together, but what Mariah and Walter had was on a different level. (Monday 29 January 2024; 20:22) this is a reply to message 105,172

Who is Caution about? (105,172) by Bobby A from United States Both of them were inexperinced with the ends and outs of the music industry trying to pursue their dreams. It's a shame that we never experienced another Love Takes Time ballad. I believe Ben's compositions with MC gave us more of Mariah's distinct melodies than Walter A's songs did. Walter A's songs with other artists always had that a small element of melody and instrumentation of songs that he composed with Mariah. For example, Leona Lewis' Here I Am. MC sure does have a long list of songwriters, producers, singers, and rappers that we will never experience a repeat collaboration. (Monday 29 January 2024; 19:45)

Who is Caution about? (105,170) by Edward from USA I don't think that's the case. Their parting of ways was due to a contract they signed before she was signed to Colombia. Mariah had agreed to split not only the songwriting royalties from the songs, but half of her earnings as well, something she never thought twice about while writing songs in his father's basement. When the time came to write music for Emotions, Sony officials made it clear he would only be paid the fair amount given to co-writers on an album. Ben didn't like it and filed a lawsuit against Sony, claiming that under contract, he would be entitled to work with Carey, as well as reap extra benefits. A judge settled that Margulies was to earn ten percent of Carey's direct earnings from her record sales, not including an income from any other ventures, but at that point their relationship was ruined. In an interview, back then, Mariah stated: "I signed blindly. Later, I tried to make it right so we could continue, but he wouldn't accept it." (Monday 29 January 2024; 16:41)
