Moet and Chandon performance (101,742) by Bobby A from United States MC's voice is back. I loved her solo version of Big Energy. She really sounded like she will make us proud in 8 days. (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 12:05)

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,741) by Nick G from Germany [I] have a love-hate relationship with [Chambraclet]. As an album bad to average at best. But it was the first album after [Glitter] that made me a Mariah fan. There are many irrelevant songs on the normal version. The album is the beginning of the eternal self-copying of itself and the attempt to make Butterfly new. Only through TEOM came a fresh wind. I prefer the bonus tracks. The ideal track list looks like this: 1. Miss U 2. Boy Street Remix 3. There goes my heart 4. Lullyby 5. You had your chance 6. Got a Thing for U 7. I know what you want 8. Clown 9. My Saving Grace 10. Through the Rain Then it would be a perfect RnB album. (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 10:50) this is a reply to message 101,739

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,739) by Terna from Nigeria For me I did not like this era at all and it's an amalgamation of a lot of factors, yes lyrically the album was mature and really strong but the vocals were irritating to listen to and quite honestly off-putting and I still really feel this way up until today. Whatever vocal issues she had be masking was in full display here and one could not ignore it – her belts were strained and she was suffocating here (literally guys), there isn't any so to speak "real voice" here, her resonance is non existent and everything is "shouty" when she tries to go for it. I was so disappointed and irritated as a die hard "lamby". The only outstanding song on this record is "Through The Rain" (this song is very special and actually a classic in my opinion and I would say one of her signature songs), and maybe "My Saving Grace". Every other song here is a muddled whispery mess have you heard the full 5 minute version of "You Got Me"? Ugh). The album is also poorly produced instrumental and especially vocally, there does not seem to be any reverb on her vocals and if there, very sparse. I also feel the album is boring. Phew thank God for "The Emancipation of Mariah Carey". (Monday 5 December 2022; 21:18)

AIWFCIY (101,740) by Edward from USA Well, no this early, but I'm pretty sure she'll be #1 next week. I predict she'll be at the top for at least 5 weeks. (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 02:56)

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,727) by Randy from USA I remember a lot about that era. I couldn't believe how beautiful Through The Rain was and the video is stunning. She was still doing lipping climaxes to the records, but she was on every show, despite not having a hit single. The View, Oprah, Matt Lauer interviewed her, MTV gave her a special. I didn't care for a lot of the album and at the time, I remember one reviewer stating that she did so many different things on the album that it was like mixing watercolors only to end up with a puddle of brown. I remember Lyor Cohen saying that she brought class to DefJam. It was a time where MC garnered respect because of her earlier hits that weren't as far away, but Glitter wasn't the nail in the coffin. Charmbracelet was the first and last time I would pay to see MC live. She lipped most of it. I was in full fan mode that night with butterfly and rainbow stickers all up and down my arm. It definitely is a moment. Through The Rain is the only way I make it to work many days. I still play Lullaby and Subtle Invitation. The rest of it is largely forgotten. But the era isn't.

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,738) by Chicago Lamb from USA These days, artists are rarely in the studio at the same time to lay their vocal tracks. For example Mariah and Whitney did their tracks separately then met in the studio for the video promo. However music videos require the artist to be assembled in the same room. I'm sure there have been instances where artists have been "green screened" in. (Monday 5 December 2022; 13:56) this is a reply to message 101,736

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,736) by Bobby A from United States No, I don't think so because I purchased the digital tracks from the special at FYE's Mix and Burn. And Oh Santa was not an option to select to create my CD. I really think the vocals were recorded separately piecing the vocals together to film the video. Just my thoughts. (Monday 5 December 2022; 00:28)

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,737) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia in Jennifer Hudson talk show, they showed one photo of behind the scene of Mariah and Jennifer during the filming of the video. I guess they were really together at the time. (Monday 5 December 2022; 05:47) this is a reply to message 101,735

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,735) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Watching the Apple TV show. So much of this show is in front of a green screen and it looks great. But - do we think that MC, AG & JH were ever actually in the same studio at the same time? (Sunday 4 December 2022; 22:41)

Songs that will continue to be timeless (101,734) by Sasha from Nomansland The live duet between Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson is so good on "Santa can't you hear me". They are two great singers who actually can sing live without blablabla. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 20:19) this is a reply to message 101,718

Webmaster, I know this is a Mariah board but just for appreciation for other artists to break the ice while waiting for Mariah's chart reign extension. Mine is First Love by Hikaru Utada, A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton and Someday by Nina. Filipino lambs, me lookin at chu. (Thursday 1 December 2022; 19:49)

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,733) by Special K from USA I really enjoyed the Charmbracelet era. I love the album and that tour was outstanding. I saw Mariah in Concord, Ca. She sounded amazing. She didn't lip synch. I was in the second row. I could see her tonsils. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 19:38) this is a reply to message 101,726

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,726) by Billy from Greece Wow, I can't believe it's been twenty years. Many memories around this album. In retrospect, I really enjoyed that time in Mariah's career. I'm going to give it a spin right now. (Saturday 3 December 2022; 20:05)

W photo shoot (101,689) by Randy from USA Y'all always say I'm negative. I'm gonna say something positive. She looks absolutely stunning in that W spread. Perfection. (Sunday 27 November 2022; 19:23)

This board (101,731) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the 90ies were too good to be true. But they were. Luckily the memories will stay forever. 80ies and 90ies, that feeling that was going on, maybe youngsters will never understand. Every "outdated" movie and music from that time is a thousand times better than most of the trash today. It was original, with heart and soul and really fun to have witnessed it.

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,730) by BFF from United States I remember thinking that Mariah looked great, happy and healthy during 2003, especially during the tour. I found the album itself pretty underwhelming because I felt Mariah's singing on it was too restrained. The production and lyrics on most of the songs were really good, but I couldn't understand why Mariah did not let loose on every song the way she did on "Bringin' on the Heartbreak". I remember the Rolling Stone review of the album commenting that the Def Leppard cover was the best moment on the album and kind of agreeing with that.

This board (101,716) by Mariahsbaby from usa You are allowed to say whatever you want about Mariah, but you can't even speak the truth about the members. It's time for most of you guys to simply move on and live in the 90s with your outdated music and your distorted view about Mariah. (Thursday 1 December 2022; 17:21)

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,728) by Bobby A from United States I just purchased Through The Rain on vinyl sealed to celebrate Charmbraclet's 20th anniversary. It was delivered early today. The Full Intention Club mix is one of MC's best. This is also the era when other producers/remixers started producing her remixes. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 00:08) this is a reply to message 101,727

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,532) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I already told you Mariah would do anything for money: performing for dictators, shoes, clothes, water, hard liquor, jewelry, perfumes, candy, cookies, hostels, chips, McDonald's, bitcoins, champagne, sex toys, dating apps, etc. (Monday 24 October 2022; 16:03)

All I want is for Mariah to celebrate (101,719) by Mariahsbaby from usa Congratulations to Mariah for selling over 3.9m units in the UK, and All I Want is now tying for the longest charting song, ironically with "Fairytale Of New York", for being #1 on Billboards Holiday 100 for a whole year, 37 consecutive weeks since 2015. She really dominated the summer with her remix and she may earn next week earn another week back at #1 already. Mariah is truly the queen of music. Btw regarding the whole trademark thing, Nikki was right, members of the group should do their own research instead of spewing falsity. Look up case. (Friday 2 December 2022; 13:25)
