Mariah's version (103,099) by TJ from Norway I talked about the same many years ago, when Alanis Morissette re-released her debut album as an acoustic album. Sadly she didn't do it then. I really don't think she will able to do it now. (Saturday 29 July 2023; 12:44) this is a reply to message 103,098

Mariah's version (103,098) by enwar00 from usa That Love Story acoustic performance is just beautiful, one of my faves, so short and sweet, forgot about it. Can you believe that was 15 years ago? That was a long time ago. I feel like a different person. Looking back now, an acoustic remake album would've been super cool. And she was still in her 30s. Now she's in her 50s. That's a big difference. Maybe her voice just wasn't meant to last. Maybe she's just enjoying her life and kids and hundreds of millions of dollars now. Personally I'm bored of the Christmas stuff. I loved Caution. I guess that was the last album. I'll go play it now. Never say never. Bye. (Saturday 29 July 2023; 04:59)

Mariah's version (103,092) by Edward from USA Mariah is definitely not in a good place vocally to accomplish what Taylor is doing while she's still super popular. She should've done something like that back in 2010-2013, but I guess that ship has sailed. This is just beautiful. Had she re-worked some of her hits around this time, she would've come out a winner. Sadly, Mariah can't sing two words straight these days. It is sad, but evidenced by her last performance, it is true. (Friday 28 July 2023; 19:02)

Mariah's version (103,097) by Bobby A from United States Are you referring to the Apple TV Plus or the Grammys Nomination performance remake? Either way, neither one compares to the flawless original. (Saturday 29 July 2023; 02:12) this is a reply to message 103,095

Mariah's version (103,095) by Bill from the UK I don't think I can forgive her for that hideous remake of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". What was she thinking? The 1994 version is faultless. (Friday 28 July 2023; 23:47)

Mariah's version (103,096) by Edward from USA Had she sung it live, it would've been fine with me The fact that was the best she could do in the studio, It's very telling. I hadn't ever watched it before you mentioned it. I wish I hadn't. (Saturday 29 July 2023; 01:00) this is a reply to message 103,095

Mariah's version (103,094) by Edward from USA Robert, I don't know if you have noticed, but Mariah is struggling even in her whisper register. I know her whisper register is not an easy one to tackle, but she's been struggling in all the facets of her voice. When you see an artist dodging notes, relying heavily on their backup singers, pre-recorded tracks, and expecting the audience to sing for them those notes they can't, it is a signal that something is deeply wrong. She's had an amazing career and she'll always have Christmas, but the Mariah we knew, yes, that Mariah post prime, is also gone. I've always thought she could get better should she discipline herself and put in the work, but that's up to her. I'm looking forward to Christmas now. She's the queen. Hopefully next year she'll surprise us all. (Friday 28 July 2023; 22:42) this is a reply to message 103,093

Mariah's version (103,093) by Bobby A from United States Edward, are you saying MC's career over? She can lower the key to fit her current voice. I wish she would collaborate more with Nashville producers like Tedd T and David Garcia who probably could help her craft different versions of her catalogue or just a new song with her current voice.

Mariah's version (103,091) by Bobby A from United States Taylor Swift just recently released Speak Now Taylor's Version. She is definitely a business woman. I wish MC would re-record more of her most famous songs and her favorites that didn't get much love on the radio or albums. She could do it with the right producer. (Friday 28 July 2023; 16:01)

Dreamlover remix (103,090) by Stefa from Germany It's a nice article. I really loved the David Morales remixes. (Friday 28 July 2023; 10:53)

Article: How Mariah's "Dreamlover" changed dance remixes (103,089) by Bill from the UK "But Mariah, she loved and cared about club land. She cared about our culture. I have so many different versions of 'Dreamlover' that nobody's ever heard." (Foams at the mouth.) (Friday 28 July 2023; 06:24)

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,088) by Bobby A from United States Was it groundbreaking because of the iconic percussion intro and the almost 1 minute and half dance beat before MC starts singing? Who else was doing what he was doing back in the early 90s? David Morales started the industry to giving club remixes a specific name instead of just calling them the extended version like they were doing in the late 80s.

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,086) by Brad from USA Rolling Stone has a really good article concerning the David Morales remix and how groundbreaking it was at the time. I still love that remix. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:52)

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,087) by Jamie from UK Yes Dreamlover is an amazing track. I love the whole vibe of it. And the Def Club Mix is on fire definitely her best dance remix (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:59) this is a reply to message 103,084

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,084) by MC1989 from Spain Though I always liked the song, and the stunningly beautiful young and carefree Curlyriah in the video, it was never one of my favourite tracks, but It sure grew on me over the years. I love the sample from The Emotions' Blind Alley, combined with Mariah's voice at her peak, and the single cover which I still have and still is one of my favourite pictures from her. The Def Club Mix was and still is one of her best remixes in my opinion. I remember hearing the song in the radio here in Spain even until the early 00's. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:19)

Charmbracelet tour (103,085) by Jamie from UK Just watching the Charmbracelet tour, I was lucky enough to go to this twice. I remember how great her voice was and watching it back now it's amazing how relaxed she is, considering it wasn't long after the breakdown she has more confidence there than I think she does now, her voice was in good shape and she appeared relaxed and in control. Maybe she was compliant with her meds then having been newly diagnosed who knows but hopefully she can get back to this. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:46)

RIP Sinéad O'Connor (103,082) by Randy from USA The very first tape I bought that wasn't r&b or pop. Well, I didn't buy it, Columbia House gave it to me along with 9 others for 1¢. The point is it was my beginning into white singer/songwriters I would've never known about because I lived in an urban monolith. I bought it for Nothing Compares 2U but in actuality my favorite song from 'I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got' is "This Is The Last Day of Our Acquaintance". If not for her, I wouldn't have paid any attention to Jewel, Paula Cole or Sarah McLachlan. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 18:59)

RIP Sinéad O'Connor (103,080) by Edward from USA I didn't even realize about the "RIP" from your post.

RIP Sinéad O'Connor (103,078) by MC1989 from Spain One of the greatest voices ever. One of my biggest musical references.

With Mariah's memoir, one of the best autobiographies I've read in the recent years. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 00:30)

Summer songs (103,077) by JC from USA Living in Dallas, I spend my summers in the pool. Here are my favorites to play that others love. No ballads, just an uptempo Mariah medley that folks, even those who don’t stan MC, still gravitate to: - Big energy (remix) - Honey - Obsessed - Loving you long time - Touch my body (Seamus Haji remix) - Shake it off - We belong together (remix) (Wednesday 26 July 2023; 21:43) this is a reply to message 103,076

Summer Songs (103,076) by Randy from USA The summer songs by MC I play are typically not ballads. Loverboy (remix), Honey (Bad Boy remix), Fantasy (with ODB and the pop hook Stacey knows what I'm talking about lol), Fourth of July, Underneath the Stars, It's Like That, Circles, Obsessed with Gucci mane, Up Out My Face with Nikki, More Than Just Friends, You Don't Know What to Do and GTFO. I tend to listen to Mariah's ballads when I'm emotional which is 99.9 repeating % of the time. But when I want to have fun during the summer those are the jams I play/request.
