Re: The Christmas Princess (99,411) (99,414) by Bill from the UK (Sips sugary Butterfly drink and nibbles on Christmas cookie, whilst wearing an Automatic Princess t shirt, as Why You Mad plays in the background.) Failed venture of Mariah's? I don't know what you mean. (Thursday 13 January 2022; 12:54)

Re: The Christmas Princess (99,411) (99,413) by Bobby A from United States Right. Where is L.A. Reid to get MC back on track? (Thursday 13 January 2022; 12:02)

Re: The Christmas Princess (99,411) (99,412) by SM from Citizen of the World I found it quite classic. I mean every year you always hear non lambs saying Christmas is over, Mariah is going back in hiding and then here she is clapping back still holding the #1 spot on Billboard with a new pre-order Christmas book after the new year. Haha. (Thursday 13 January 2022; 10:26)

The Christmas Princess (99,411) by Brad from USA Who announces the future release of a children's fairytale book about Christmas during the second week of January? The lawd knows I support my MC to the ends of the Earth but this seems a pretty big timing fail on someone's part. Not to mention, that cover is all troll and not cute at all. They could have had a better illustration. Honestly. I just don't get it. Another project that seems destined to go by the wayside. (Thursday 13 January 2022; 05:01)

My All featuring Khalid? (99,410) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Fans have been speculating that Brandy would be the featured singer for either Babydoll or The Roof. But I always wondering whether Khalid would be the one for My All, considering the song they did (Fall In Love At Christmas) is very melodically similar to My All and with all the acoustic spanish guitar type of song.

Re: Anytime You Need a Friend in Pose (99,408) (99,409) by RibbonB from USA Steven Canals is the show's co creator and producer and he is also a lamb. I do recall him tweeting Mariah about it. I think Mimi has tweeted about it as well. (Tuesday 11 January 2022; 18:05)

Anytime You Need a Friend in Pose (99,408) by MC1989 from Spain Any Pose fans in here? Yesterday I saw the episode from the last season where Blanca leads Pray Tell to rehab, and suddenly AYNAF comes in, and they play almost the whole song, whistle include, while Blanca drives in her car. In the second season, where Blanca's children leave the house, they played "Love takes time". I think this is a great homage to Maria's legacy, and I hope she sees it.

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,403) (99,407) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I agree this rumoured duet would have been a number one at the time. However it would have also secured Mariah in the Celine Dion realm of Adult Contemporary. It would be more of the Grandma approved Music Box vibe and she wouldn't have been able to recover. It might as well be a Mariah, Michael and Kenny G love song. We'd be listening to it in elevators and the doctors office. (Monday 10 January 2022; 04:30)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,404) (99,406) by Ricardo from New Zealand Agree! And that song needed to be (if it wasn't) recorded! Next to the Patti Labelle one it sounds a bit rough lol. (Monday 10 January 2022; 03:22)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) (99,405) by Bill from the UK Where did you hear that Mariah and Michael were going to duet I'll Be There for Emotions? First I've heard of that. Not sure that is true. The I'll Be There lore is that Mariah originally wanted to sing Vanishing, but MTV insisted on a cover song, as every artist on Unplugged usually does that. In a last minute decision they all decided on I'll Be There and rehearsed it only moments before the show started filming. It was only due to the heavy rotation MTV gave the programme, and how quickly radio picked up on the song, that it then became a single and the EP released shortly afterwards. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 18:04)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) (99,404) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah during that time was unstoppable. So I believe the duet with Michael Bolton would have been a number one too. Good old days. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 17:42)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) (99,403) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly, I think Mariah and Michael Bolton's voices, especially at that time, really worked well and won't mind another Pop Ballad duet something original this time. It's time for Mariah to sing and collaborate with [singers], tangible singers who like her, have that definitive gift of singing, that sets them apart from the fray. Brandy is definitely a step in the right direction, and I was ecstatic to find out about the Clark Sisters too as another potential collaboration. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 16:13)

We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia What if during MTV Unplugged, instead of doing I'll Be There with Trey, Mariah invited Michael Bolton to sing We're Not Making Love Anymore. Will the song reach number one like I'll Be There? Michael at the time was also under Columbia and they were supposed to do a duet for that song for Mariah's Emotions album but we all know that didn't happen. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 07:22)

Babydoll (99,401) by Bobby A from United States Brandy retweeted another Lamb's tweet of "It's 2:11." If it is true that she recorded Babydoll with MC, then it is going to take Babydoll to a whole different level. I didn't think it was The Roof because the song is too personal to MC.

Re: Blending eras (99,398) (99,400) by Bill from the UK CB is a strange fish. It was the first Mariah album I was indifferent about. Like I wasn't overwhelmed like I was with Daydream and Butterfly, neither was I underwhelmed like I was with MCIIY and Memoirs. I was just, whelmed. If that exists. I remember, on first listen, getting more and more frustrated with the whispering as the album progressed, especially by the 32nd chorus of Lullaby. Nowadays, I see it for what it is, which was quite rightly put earlier as a premonition of what TEOM would be. A subtle nudge towards it, to test the water. It's definitely a "mood" album, where I have to be feeling a particular way, or the air feel a certain way, for me to book out the afternoon to listen to it (it's a long arse album as well), but when I do I always enjoy it now. Except Boy of course. (Saturday 8 January 2022; 12:17)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,393) (99,399) by SM from Citizen of the World Probably a photo shoot for a new Christmas album this year lol. (Saturday 8 January 2022; 00:41)

Re: Blending eras (99,392) (99,398) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I can actually see what you mean blending Charmbraclet [sic]/TEOM. "Old school R&B and neo-soul vibe she perfected for Mimi with live instruments, etc. It's like It's Like That was a better Boy, Shake It Off was a better The One, Fly Like A Bird was a better My Saving Grace." It's like she was shy testing the neo-soul old school R&B, so she literally whispered it. On TEOM she was confident in the sound and ripped the damned roof off to the heavens. Glitter and Charmbraclet [sic] are day and night. It's so weird to think it was released in late 2002. Much like E=MC2 to MOAIA; they seem like they were recorded years or a decade apart. She went from bold colours and bold strong vocals to neutral tones and whispery raw vocals. Although Charmbraclet [sic] is so close and tender to my heart musically and life experience, the album artwork and the aesthetic for the Charmbraclet [sic] tour are so disconnected. She should have used the artwork for Bringing on The Heartbreak as the album cover imo. The single cover art was way stronger then the actual album cover for Charmbraclet [sic].

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,395) (99,397) by Bobby A from United States Brandy says in the interview that Mariah invited her to sing with her. I am taking that as it will be a duet. It has to be something special with The Vocal Bible and Songbird Supreme on one track. Now if Daniel Moore III co-wrote and co-produced the track, then I will be disappointed. I just don't like his songwriting and production. I think that it is a poor imitation of Big Jim Wright. (Friday 7 January 2022; 21:47)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,394) (99,396) by Terna from Nigeria I always, always wished Mariah and Brandy would've collaborated back in the day before both their voices changed, but I'm still here for this collaboration. Can you imagine the insane harmonies and background vocals these two are capable of? Brandy alone is so complex in her song arrangement, and then throw in Mariah. Both of them are second to none when it comes to the harmonic voicings that they do. I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised. (Friday 7 January 2022; 20:35)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,394) (99,395) by Bill from the UK Do we know if the Brandy collab is a duet or just MC writing and "coaching" Brandy with how to sing it? (Friday 7 January 2022; 18:00)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,393) (99,394) by Bobby A from United States Brandy's interview with Rated R&B was really good. She has so much respect for MC. She said MC coached her in the recording booth and she did whatever she asked her to do. Some good things are on the way y'all. (Friday 7 January 2022; 12:26)

There's an album somewhere (99,393) by Brad from USA Hope everyone is doing as well as they can. So based on her interviews recently indicating Monroe's favorite album is one Mariah can't talk about yet and Brandy's interview about working with MC, it's clear there is an album somewhere. Also, her red and gold dress moments in the snow were for actual photoshoots, not just for fun She was basically MIA all last year and I think hard at work. I hope we get to hear it this year. Try to be well. (Friday 7 January 2022; 06:00)

Re: Blending eras (99,388) (99,392) by enwar00 from usa Cool question. I may be the only one and it may sound crazy because one is one of my least favorite and the other is one of my favorites, but honestly I've always thought Charmbracelet and The Emancipation of Mimi were very similar. Of course not the vocals, because one is 15 songs full of whispers and the other was "the return of the voice". It's probably that they're both of the era, early to mid 2000s R&B/Hip hop style songs. It's almost like Charmbracelet was the blueprint for Mimi, which had better production, songs and vocals. Lullaby and Subtle Invitation have that old school R&B and neo-soul vibe she perfected for Mimi with live instruments, etc. It's like It's Like That was a better Boy, Shake It Off was a better The One, Fly Like A Bird was a better My Saving Grace.

Re: Blending eras (99,388) (99,391) by Bobby A from United States Great topic Matty. (Friday 7 January 2022; 03:13)

Re: Blending eras (99,388) (99,390) by T from USA Similar: debut - Emotions - Unplugged. Also Music Box - Merry Christmas. Opposite: Glitter - Charmbracelet. Also Charmbracelet - TEOM. And of course MIAMTEC - Caution. (Friday 7 January 2022; 00:48)
