For The Record (102,421) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it's so good. How I love this song from the beginning. It has the typical Mariah sound but also something new. In my fantasy it's a number one. (Wednesday 29 March 2023; 20:17) this is a reply to message 102,420

For The Record (102,420) by Bobby A from United States I had forgotten how good this song was to the ear. It doesn't sound like a BMC production. (Wednesday 29 March 2023; 18:27)

Observation (102,419) by Lady B from USA Many people on this board who post negative things about Mariah like to hid behind they "care" and are "fans", but are being "honest" and sometimes that means tough love. I'm on record as saying I think that's largely malarky, and they snidely deride me when I say that, But for a "fan board" very few folks wished her Happy Anniversary, and none of the regular critics. Indeed, plenty of posts before and after, but very few on the day of. Compare that to other fan boards of other artists, which have a higher percentage of posters who are actual, well fans.

Mariah vs MC (102,418) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post and thoughts of you Jamie. I often think who is the real Mariah? For me it's the one during the early years too. A smart, sweet woman with an outstanding charisma, a little shy with a good sense of humour. That was her, no matter if she liked the clothes or not, she was natural. Even the first little diva antics were lovable. Later especially after 2001 the "diva thing" seemed more like a masquerade to protect herself. Of course everyone can act sometimes, some more, some less. But the sparkle on the eyes, a real smile says so much more. That's real.

Mariah vs MC (102,399) by Jamie from UK Ok as a 90's fan of Mariah and a continued fan to this day, I've always struggled with Mariah and MC. Whilst I like them both I'm more swayed towards Mariah. I've always wondered what she thinks, as Mariah did she always want to break away and be MC, or now does she long to be Mariah again? I say this because she always says how controlled she was, yet now every opportunity she gets she shows pics etc of her earlier career. Watching her earlier videos she is so natural and composed something I don't think can be forced or mimicked. So I often wonder who is the the real Mariah/MC? Don't get me wrong I love both, but I often wonder what happened that made the drastic change, I don't believe it was all Tommy as he could have dressed her in all he liked, but like I said you can't mimic those natural early performances. I get people change, I've changed myself, but not so drastically like she has. I always wonder who the happiest one was. To me she looks more happy in the early Mariah days when she was more wholesome, but would love to hear your spin on things. This all came from watching ATYNAF from Proctors Theatre, which to me is one of her best performances. I'm not looking to be judgmental I'm honestly just looking for peoples spin on things as it genuinely interests me. (Sunday 26 March 2023; 01:52)

Vision Of Love unused 1989 vocals (102,415) by Edward from USA The Rarities 2 should have new previously unreleased material. These peformances are good and all, but that's about it. Mariah released a few gems on The Rarities she had kept hidden from us, we need more of recordings from the Daydream and the Music Box eras. (Tuesday 28 March 2023; 17:20)

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,405) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, "Can't let go" is wonderful. One of her best songs for sure. The intro, the power and softness of her voice. I love "Can't let go". It really should have been a number one back then. (Monday 27 March 2023; 17:55) this is a reply to message 102,402

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,402) by Stacey from USA For me it's Can't Let Go. Still irks me Sony caused that song to stall at #2 by pulling it off the shelves. Such a hauntingly beautiful melody. (Monday 27 March 2023; 04:24)

Mariah vs MC (102,404) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Hey Jamie. My thoughts are that Mariah was just being Mariah for the first part of her career. Finding the balance between what she wanted and what she was told to do. Then as with any rebellion she went totally opposite. Personally as most lambs, I prefer Mariah performances but MC delivers much better albums. There are a few skips on her earlier work for me. And now that fame and trying to remain relevant, together with Peter Pan syndrome she's trying too hard to make music she thinks will be popular vs music that is actually good. She just wants that next hit. It's the cost of the immense success she's had, so I think that's why she leans so hard into Christmas, because she knows she will always be #1 in that genre.

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,379) by MusicfanJ from Germany Definitely "Without you". This song will stay forever and still is one of her signature sounds, loved by so many people, not only fans. Then there follows with a huge distance "When you believe", "I know what you want" and "It's like that". (Thursday 23 March 2023; 12:27)

Mariah vs MC (102,401) by Bobby A from United States Like I said before this year, we will know for sure if Mariah will come back with the voice or MC will carry on with her vocal struggles and failed lip syncing. A soft retirement is imminent within 2-3 years though. (Monday 27 March 2023; 01:35) this is a reply to message 102,400

Mariah vs MC (102,400) by Bill from the UK Whatever happened to her voice in 1997 happened. With the loss of the ability to sing her songs well and fluidly like she did in prior years, the focus had to shift. So, musically the songs became less demanding vocally, the "I'm a songwriter first" narrative was cranked up to the max, and she became more concerned with her look than her voice. She should have said at the time what had happened to her voice and adapted her back catalogue and future songs accordingly. Instead she chose to prolong the facade with studio trickery, dubbing and lip syncing and now it's all gone too far. Those who know, know. Mariah Carey 1990-1996. 1997 onwards, someone else.

Lovers and Friends concert (102,397) by Bobby A from United States This event is going to determine very quickly what we can expect from MC this summer and fall. Will the performance show that her voice has improved? On the other hand, MC has to be getting ready to unleash multiple releases on her website in the fall. She is going to have a lot of competition this fall from Usher, Janet Jackson, Tori Kelly, and Brandy. (Saturday 25 March 2023; 12:55)
