A question for Eric (103,585) by Jamie from UK

Ah I was at Wembley too for Rainbow tour. My mum got me the ticket as I was in jerk when they went on sale.

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,582) by Randy from USA

Should we be worried? We went through this a few years ago with Rihanna, but she has all but retired from music. Drake is cranking out songs and albums. I can definitely lob the Mariah criticism non fans give her at him. I can't name more than two of his number ones. He is tied with Madonna and ahead of Janet, Whitney and Stevie Wonder. I like Drake but his name does not belong in the same stratosphere with any of those four.

AIWFCIY (103,581) by Bobby A from United States

I just thought about this today. With so many millions in radio impressions and streaming sales, why doesn't AIWFCIY make it to #1 on the Urban AC, Hot AC, and Adult Comtemporary charts too? This question came to my mind because feel something special is planned this year for AIWFCIY by the label or MC.

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,580) by Terna from Nigeria

A "Daydream" release on all the platforms with two songs only. "Always be My Baby" (Dem babies edition) and Fantasy Dem Kids version. Haha.

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,579) by 123 from USA

Same. Daydream will always be GOAT to me. I wonder if she found the "Ecstasy" song she made with Jermaine that she was looking for during Rarities. She claimed in an interview she couldn't find it. I'm hoping it's been discovered and is. Daydream session song. She said it sampled a particular song but didn't want to give away the idea.

Fandom base (103,578) by Tevin from USA

Victor, I'll answer your question. I love Mariah not only because she is beautiful, but also because of her voice. I grew up listening to her, because my parents would play her music and a few other people's music (such as Luther V) all the time back in the early to mid 90s. They exposed me to a wide variety of music, singers, and genres, but they played Mariah all the time. Some of my first memories of music was hearing songs from Mariah's Daydream era. Those songs bring back so many sweet childhood memories and are forever etch in my mind. I was and still am enamored by her voice, and pen game. I love me some Mimi.

Put down the pipe and if you see lights on the horizon, walk towards them with your hands in the air.

One Night a flux capacitor to 1995. Just one more song from that album would be mindblowing. I'm down for Daydream with you, Stace. Don't nobody be coming for that album. We got this.

A question for Eric (103,574) by Andrew from the UK

My brothers fell in love with Mariah Carey the same time I did, albeit not so much. This was 93/94. My father liked singers, not bands, also. My brothers took me to Mariah in London in February 2000 for Rainbow - mostly because I made them. Even then, none of their friends made fun. Seeing Mariah Carey was an event. No shame.

I wonder: what were the three comments you received? What do your friends and family think now? We have had our ups and downs, you and I. But I think it quite something that for 25 years you have kept something like this going. Not least, the latter half of that incorrectly correcting my grammar.

If I could suggest something: some new colours and new layour would work.

Are you talking about that "working the street" song with the great vocals and Price Sisters harmonies?

Essential II Mariah Carey or very best of cd (103,572) by Bobby A from United States

The previously released Essential Mariah Carey cd is quite boring with too many of the same tracks already on her #1's collections, Greatest Hits cd and Playlist: Mariah Carey cd. I think it is time to release Essential Mariah Carey II cd with the 2nd disc containing eight fan favorites and eight rare and remix tracks including Skydiving, Right To Dream, Beautiful# Hermosa, Triumphant (Vintage Throwback Mix), Shake It Off ft. Jay Z (Remix), Bye Bye ft. Jay Z and Lil Wayne, Crybaby, You're Mine ft. Trey Songz, Can't Take That Away (Morales Club Mix Edit) and Always Be My Baby (Mr. Dupri Mix). These tracks are my favorite MC tracks for a roadtrip. We need a more rounded and representative look back now that MC has been business in 30 years. Arista and LaFace have released some fantastic Toni Braxton collections including her Essential collection. I will not be buying another #1's collection from MC. I am over those type of collections. Lol. Don't believe me.

Rumor has it she has a phenomenal track from Daydream called "One Night".

I get a little giddy thinking about what MC may pull out of the vault for my beloved Daydream's 30th anniversary.

A question for Eric (103,569) by Andrew from the UK

The Queer Theory argument has me wondering: you're a straight bloke, you love Mariah Carey. 25 years maintaining a website for her. What made you love her? What made you a lifelong fan? Do you get any negativity for it, being straight?

Genuinely interested.

[Webmaster: You can find my life story here. In real life, I only received three negative comments for being a Mariah fan, but I never ever got a comment that being a Mariah fan equals being gay.]

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,568) by Andrew from the UK

I would love more tracks from:

Daydream
Glitter
E=MC2

In that order.

I appreciate your love of the debut voice, but I think it was too without emotion and nuance. “Treated me kind-ah, sweet destiny-ah, carried me thru desperayshunn, to the one that was waiting for me-ah.”

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,567) by Bill from the UK

I will leave this earth a happy man if I hear I Lose Control and anything else from the debut era that's not been released.

As for IDWC, the live version on the Daydream tour is always how I imagined she wanted to approach the song. The album version is nice, but the 1996 live version is show stopping.

Exactly. You get my point here. The issue is that gay people will love Mariah because for us ageism is not a problem, or her marital status. But for some others it is, specially if Mariah is sexualized in their minds.

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,565) by Bobby A from United States

I thought about this IDWC this morning. It kind of reminds me of WBT in 1990. I know MC and Narada disagreed during the recording of IDWC because MC kept adding vocals to what he thought was the final version. I would love to hear the two versions side by side one day. I am pretty sure Narada's version is the one on the album. By the way, I hope we hear Lose Control one day too.

Triumphant (103,564) by Andrew from the UK

My friend Aaron at the time who would mock Mariah really really loved the Triumphant remixes. But for those, the entire project was a mess. As was most things Mariah did post-Nick Cannon. Oh, what could have been. Triumphant started really well but then the second rap verse is a bizarre mess: Lamborghinis and blond bombshells? Really fits the message.

Music Box (103,563) by Andrew from the UK

What's the general consensus here? Did record companies "add" extra bonus tracks to UK editions in the 90s to warrant no exchange rate adjustment - or did they simply remove a track for the US to encourage American citizens to purchase two copies?

Imperfect (103,562) by Bobby A from United States

I would love for Imperfect to remixed as a club version and brought to life by Gorgon City or Disclosure. They are known for taking a song and injecting some life into the track. I wonder if The Dream and Tricky Stewart are actually the writers on Imperfect because it does not sound like a The Dream collaboration.

#Beautiful (103,561) by Bobby A from United States

I just wonder if some of the tracks intended for The Art Of Letting Go album will be found in the vault.
