Article: Mariah introduces 2 "new adopted family members" (103,540)
by Andrew from the UK
| |
|
|
It is great to see Mariah looking thinner and healthier. Perhaps if she loses a bit more weight we will also see her head return to its normal angle on her neck. It is also great to see how much DemKids love DemKittens. And great that Mariah has finally started to put away DemTits. Gay or straight I think everyone can agree they've seen enough of them.

What bearing does sexual orientation (or "where people put their penis") and intersectionality have on anything? Why does it matter where the males that like Mariah Carey's music put their penis? I have known gay people that do not like her music. I have known straight people that do. I have never felt the need to discuss Mariah Carey and where they put their penis in any conversation. In the same respect, if you have ever known people who star in musical theatre you will routinely find that round half of them are straight and constantly get targetted and belittled for their work - by people who think it appropriate to discuss their sexuality and the associations. Who should be the least offended in these circumstances? The straight persons for being singled out for liking something "not macho"? Or the gay person for hearing that the preference itself is not macho and therefore assigned only to gay people by third parties? I think both parties have an equal claim to outrage. In regards to this board, I could not care less where the men on it put their penises nor where the women and intersex persons on it do with their own genitalia. To paraphrase a Stonewall slogan: "Most people are straight - get over it."

Mariah is a gay icon, and a role model for women. But, does Mariah have straight male fans? All the fans I know are gays or females.

New album 2024 (103,538)
by Bobby A from United States

Just type in Mariah's new album in the search bar and the post will come up. The comments from fans immediately put TEOM II in my mind. This dry era period reminds me of that uncertainty after CB failed on the charts and we were all waiting on MC to take us there again.

Surprised to "meet" the new kittens, but joyed to see it too. I adopted an orange cat last fall and love him to bits. That said, they are a handful at times. May be fun to hear of the antics her new cats put her through.

Your top 5 pick of career defining moments (103,526)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|

1. Love Takes Time made it onto debut album because Tommy said it was too good to be saved for Emotions.
2. MTV Unplugged showed that Mariah was more than a studio singer.
3. One Sweet Day spends 16 weeks at number #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 which had never been done before.
4. We Belong Together saved TEOM.
5. I Want To Know Was Love Is becomes a surprise hit in Brazil when it spends 25 weeks at number #1.

Do not pity yourself: pity the blind and stupid for not noticing your greatest. You are as a part of space and time as any atom at any point in the stretch of the knowable Universe. Nothing - and nobody - takes precedence over you in any objective moral reasoning. No atoms are more or less entitled to existence than the billions of which you are made. You are the perfect version of you surrounded, merely, by imperfect interpretations of you. We are all made of stars. And we all shit. Dry your eyes, Bobby-A. Or I don't even know you.

Happy 26th to the real magnum opus (103,523)
by Stacey from USA

As much as I love Daydream, I agree Butterfly was her transformative signature album. It's just ironic that MB 30 is getting a bigger spotlight than Butterfly 25. I don't think MB being 5 years older makes any difference. Butterfly is her album, the album she was so close to.

by Randy from USA

While everyone is celebrating Music Box and incorrectly calling Daydream MC's artistic zenith, I'd like to interject and celebrate the real magnum opus, Butterfly, which turns 26 today. On this day, 26 years ago I unwrapped the cellophane off of this CD in my fathers basement and popped it in the disc changer. I never before heard an album where every song is a single. Every verse reads like poetry. And every vocal is astounding. Rasp, falsetto, belting and whistles are all used here. My biggest issue with R&B music is artists always sing about romantic love or break ups. This Pop/R&B album includes songs about childhood pain and alienation. It is in one word stunning. Happy anniversary to Mariah's favorite. And the best album of all time. From any artist.

I always thought the Butterfly and Rainbow tour performances of "Without You" were live, but maybe I was wrong on those? The TOTP Christmas performance is a little suspect watching it again today.
And, Randy, I agree that Butterfly is her best album. But I think Music Box has been unfairly maligned by fans and critics alike. I cannot imagine Mariah Carey existing without songs like "Anytime You Need a Friend", "Dreamlover", and "Hero" and her cover of "Without You".

The pre-records for Without You actually began in 1994 for the Christmas TOTP performance. Then again at MSG in 1895, the Tokyo Dome dates of the Daydream tour in 1996, and then from Butterfly tour onwards.

Randy, your post about Butterfly brought tears to my eyes. Your comments are spot on. I remember Butterfly and how every song that year in 1997 was my life. It was the joy of Honey to the alienation in Outside that spoke about how my mother was treating me because she had a gay son. I must stop typing now to the wipe the tears from eyes. Butterfly is the real magnum opus.

I wonder why there wasn't a single live performance of "Never Forget You". It was technically a double A-side single release with "Without You" in the United States and got some airplay on R&B radio. I think it's a wonderful song and makes me wish Mariah had attempted more sessions with Babyface.
I have also always wondered why "Anytime You Need a Friend" disappeared from her set lists between 1996 and 2019. It's easily one of her best "single" releases and every bit as good as "Make It Happen", "Vision of Love", and her other gospel-style compositions. Maybe it was too demanding/hard to sing with the decline in her voice? "Without You" is pretty demanding as well, but she kept it in the setlist and didn't start using pre-recorded tracks for it until the "Charmbracelet" tour.

Butterfly (103,517)
by Andrew from the UK

Magnus Opus just means "Big Work", right? I think sometimes we confusingly think of it as the greatest? Perhaps I am splitting hairs. I offer that the greatest work must be Music Box for sheer popularity. The Seminal Work - that is to say, the work that affected all works after it - must surely be Daydream. I offer Butterfly up as the emminent work.
