Music Box (102,489) by TJ from Norway Oh, how I want an album like that again. An album with melodies. Lyrics without mentioning spandex, helicopters, and stuff like that. An album with her singing. She can still make that. She doesn't need to sing with 5 octaves. No autotune. Give is the voice she still has instead of that sound. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 13:28)

I'll Be Loving U Long Time video (102,488) by Bobby A from United States Absolutely a great video and song from our MC. This era will always be one of her best. There were a lot of missteps that we will never no why happened during this era. Maybe we will find out why Migrate wasn't chosen as the 2nd single over the weaker song Bye Bye. Stay In Love Is a great song, but it lacked pop appeal for radio. I'm That Chick or For The Record should have been the 3rd single. One more note, critics panned this era and prompted one critic to say 4 years later that MC got the memo when she released MIAM. Maybe she has been secretly in the studio prepping her second comeback. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 10:29) this is a reply to message 102,485

I'll Be Loving U Long Time video (102,485) by Lady B from USA That video is one of her all-time best, in my opinion. She looks gorgeous, and genuinely seems like she's having fun filming it. Also a highly underrated song. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 07:05)

I miss albums (102,479) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Definitively. I remember at that time my CD player wasn't working. So, after buying the album, I had it at home for 3 days until I was able to get to a friend's home and burn a cassette tape. Imagine my frustration, but, at the same time, the anticipation created up to when I finally got to listen to it. That process (waiting for the day of the release, going to the store, coming back home, playing the CD over and over) doesn't happen anymore and I do miss it too.

I miss albums (102,477) by Edward from USA I totally agree with you. Having an album, a theme, the lyrics on a carefully crafted CD insert was simply a pleasant journey. I remember rushing home with the Butterfly CD still unopened in in my hands. The anticipation felt like having butterflies in my stomach, such a surreal moment, at least for me. Since I hadn't listened to anything other than the "Honey Maxi Single", I almost died when "Butterfly" kicked. I miss those days. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 23:06)

I miss album (102,478) by Randy from USA Butterfly will always be my favorite experience. Music Box and Daydream stole me from Whitney to Mariah. Oh don't get me wrong. Whitney will always be the better vocalist. Just not the better voice. But even still, what I got from MC was the personal experience. The alienation of Looking In, Close My Eyes and Outside. I feel as though Celine and Whitney never got that personal at the time. Madonna and Janet did but they didn't have the voices. MC was the balance. And when I listen to the lyrics of Butterfly, My All and Breakdown, there will never ever be another album experience like Butterfly.

I miss albums (102,472) by Randy from USA Edward, I get your single idea but it breaks my heart. I feel like an album wouldn't benefit her in this current music industry. But how I miss the anticipation. I miss it being a project. Having a theme. I know it's for the nostalgia but remember waiting outside of Sam Goody or Tower Records? Remember struggling to get that plastic tape off the top of the CD? We don't get liner notes and pictures anymore. It's just sad. Imagine if movies weren't a thing and you just got a scene at a time. Imagine if a baseball game was one inning and everyone went home. I feel like an album is like a novel. A page is special but you need the entire story. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 16:24)

I miss albums (102,474) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true, that's why I still buy cd's (real albums). I need something I can touch, look at the pictures, read a little text with lyrics. I also love to collect albums. A playlist or stream can never replace it. A new album with a theme, I would love that too. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 19:43) this is a reply to message 102,472

I miss albums (102,473) by Bobby A from United States I wish MC would jump on the EP trend that is happening right now. Newer artists like Coco Jones, Summer Walker, and Eric Bellinger are doing it and having great success. It would be perfect for MC to release a 7-track EP and have enormous success with it. Take for example, Coco Jones who has never released a "full album" in her career. Last year, she released her first major label EP on Def Jam Records. She is having enormous success with the deluxe edition of her EP with an additional 3 extra tracks. Her single, ICU is gaining radio airplay because of her performances on TV. She even made it onto a track on Babyface's Girls Night Out album. I wish MC would release an EP and just promote the heck out it on TV and see what happens.

Observation (102,465) by Edward from USA I think Mariah should drop a single unannounced with a hot popular act. Putting music out at a reasonably time is what keeps the fanbase going. Maybe not every two year, but at least every three year. I guess we all need a new project ASAP. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 00:56)

Observation (102,466) by Mariahsbaby from usa So now it's boring when someone finally speaks up for Mariah, but when you start spewing vile hateful comments masquerade as "keep in it real", crickets. Go to Mimi on your contacts and press delete already. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 01:28) this is a reply to message 102,464
