Touch My Body (101,512)
by Tevin from USA
| |
|
|
Stop singing my part now baby. Lol. I always sing that line in my head when the ending climax of the song starts.

Touch My Body (101,510)
by Bobby A from United States

The ending is a part of the song and is my favorite part where MC sings in that raspy voice. One reviewer said at the time that even though Mariah's voice is not the same like it used to be, no one can sing with the highs and lows like Mariah Carey.

This begs the question: how many of Mariah's people, or maybe even Mariah herself, do you think check in on this board? I have my theories, but I'll let you all go first.

Movie and book rights (101,505)
by henry harris from united states

Hello Mariah, I have been trying to contact you after seeing you act in the movie Wise Girls. I then thought how nice it would be if you played the character role as a hardcore attorney that's feared by the system because of your outstanding wits as a no-nonsense defense attorney representing the bad guy.
I have written a powerful, dramatic book and screenplay inspired by true events. I really think that this script has the potential of becoming a major motion picture and Netflix series. I attempted to contact Denzel Washinston, but he was filming in Europe. Beyon'ce agent said they were not looking for original content at this time. Kasi Lemmons was tied up with Harriet and Jodie Foster agents said she had to get four films made before 2024. Why don't we connect so you can familiarize yourself with my story. Respectfully, Henry.

Touch My Body (101,506)
by Terna from Nigeria
| |
|
|
This song goes hard in a peculiar satisfying way. It hasn't aged at all and even sounds stronger today. It came on when working out on my playlist and it was a pleasant surprise to listen to after not playing it in quite a while. Just a total bop and fun record, I can see why it went number one.  . Funny enough it is one of those rare moments that in hind sight, the video is a perfect match for the song. Haha. Why was that era so short?

Ariana Grande duet (101,508)
by Terna from Nigeria
| |
|
|
There was a leaked clip on Twitter with Mariah singing lead and Ariana on [background] vocals. I think Mariah has been secretly working on new music. It was a ballad with a very haunting, sad melody.

Migrate vs Obsessed (101,507)
by Terna from Nigeria
| |
|
|
Neither, quite honestly. I truly don't like "Migrate" like that. But hard pressed I would pick "Obsessed" as it was a massive hit in 2009. You could hardly escape it and it was also a popular ringtone. I don't play it often because I think its production is a tad bit "noisy" so to put it, But Gen Z love it and they love Mariah as well since she's the unofficial "queen of social media" too. Haha. "Obsessed" is her main qualifier to the that title – one of the ultimate drag/diss songs ever written, point, blank period.

Migrate vs Obsessed (101,503)
by Tevin from USA

|

So I was listening to Migrate (aka should have been a single) and Obsessed yesterday, and I wanted to get everyone's opinion. Out of the two, which song do you prefer, had Migrate been released as a single, which one do you believe would have charted higher? Finally, which one do you think would have had better longevity?

Migrate vs Obsessed (101,504)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
| |
|
|
Oooo. That's a tough one. Gen Z loves Obsessed, so that longevity is there. But Migrate gets my blood pumping and I love it. The only issue with Migrate is that autotune hasn't aged well. Without the Eminem controversy, I've wondered if Obsessed would have done as well as it did.

Heartbreakers video (101,501)
by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
| |
|

I always thought that the 2.5 million budget for Heartbreaker's video is including the Heartbreaker Remix video. That’s why it was expensive because it involves two productions (original and remix). I could be wrong though.

I think because it was the most expensive at the time, a few million from memory. You don't get budgets of that size for music videos anymore.

Heartbreakers video (101,497)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
| |
|
|
I think because [it] was a full cinematic experience, it had a story line, an alter ego villain and vengeance against an ex who is a famous actor. Then the extremely sexy remix video with the car wash, roller skates and black and white treatment. The videos couldn't be more different which was brilliant. I'd say her only videos after that, on that level where Touch My Body and Obsessed.

Soundtracks (101,496)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
| |
|
|
True; I'd give Rainbow the prize for [lyrics], and [give] Glitter the prize for beats, flow and production. I think How Much, X-Girlfriend and Did I do That are really jarring in contrast to the beauty of songs like Bliss and After Tonight. I could never choose between Heatbreaker (including remix) and Loverboy (including remix) both songs still thrill me.

Soundtracks (101,494)
by Bill from the UK

I think I prefer Rainbow because I think it's stronger melodically. So Heartbreaker and the remix are great, and I sort of directly compare them against Loverboy and the remix. I also think CTTA, Bliss, After Tonight, Petals and the Interlude are beautiful ballads. With Glitter I love Lead the Way but don't think Reflections and Twister are as strong as the Rainbow ballads. I agree Glitter is more cohesive, and as much as I adore If We and Don't Stop, I feel Mariah needed to be on those songs more than just singing the hook.
I also have to state that in respect of her albums, my top albums of all time are all hers, then the list goes into other artists. This is why she's my favourite.

Bill, I absolutely agree with your point about "I'll be Lovin' u Long Time". That song is unbelievable and I'm shocked it didn't go to the top 5 (#58 on Billboard wasn't enough appreciation for such a jam). But to say Glitter wasn't as good as Rainbow is beyond offensive. I don't like Music Box, but I can understand its mastery. Glitter was a masterpiece, a far superior album to Rainbow IMO. Rainbow was a marketing and PR success, the actual music...  It's such a hard album to listen start to finish. Most of Mariah's albums I can only listen start to finish. Rainbow and MIAMTEC are the two albums I feel have no flow or smoothness. They are a mish-mash of songs that don't flow or have a vibe imo.
Emotions, Butterfly, MOAIA and Caution are the most vibe centric albums, listen start to finish albums Mimi has produced.

Okay so you still don't get the point. My personal opinion of what material is good doesn't mean it translates to success or is the right move. For example I always thought I'll Be Loving You Long Time was the best song on E=MC2, but it bombed when it was released. I stand by what I said, sorry you didn't understand. To make it a bit clearer, Glitter's a great album as I said, but the debut, Emotions, Unplugged, Music Box, Merry Christmas, Daydream, Butterfly, Rainbow, Emancipation and Caution are all better. Right to Dream is heartfelt, but Vanishing, Love Takes Time, Till the End of Time, The Wind, I'll Be There, Never Forget You, I Am Free, Looking In, Butterfly, My All, Whenever You Call, Outside, I Still Believe, Can't Take That Away, After Tonight, Petals, My Saving Grace, Sunflowers, Mine Again, We Belong Together, Circles, For the Record, Bye Bye, I Stay In Love, Cry, I Want to Know What Love Is and Portrait are moreso. When You Believe is a fine duet but I'll Be There, Endless Love and One Sweet Day are miles better.
I've always been open minded about Mariah doing something new and different. Soundtracks have been done with not much success, either chart wise or with the fan base. If you think Mariah's remaining years are best spent on songs like Infamous and Almost Home, which connected with nobody and did nothing for their associated projects, then great. I've long advocated for her to do a jazz or gospel album as that is unexplored territory, something fresh and different, and something that may suit her current voice (jazz).
Remember, not everybody who disagrees with you is out to get you. It's just an opinion.

You're going in circles my dear, because I caught you backpeddaling. Take a deep breath, it's not personal. Anyway, at least you finally open mind a little? When you say you want her to do jazz and gospel, great. Now we're going somewhere. See, that's easy to do, I don't randomly shoot down ideas.
Because, at this stage of her career, she should be free to do anything, specially areas where the potential is limitless (soundtracks). It's a genre that doesn't have many biases, and doesn't have as much time constraints.
She can whip up a song, or something that's already on her vault, and not be burdened releasing a full album.
Is that "spending her remaining years"? Don't be dramatic hon. Rihanna, who is basically retired, recorded something for Black Panther. Many artists wrote soundtrack songs long after their peaks, then gets Oscar nominated even though no one heard them.
In the end, you need to let go of many of your biases as to what success means. She is 50, an icon, a legend. She should do whatever she wants. For herself. If she touches even just one person, it will be worth it.
