Would you rather (104,301) by Andrew from United Kingdom
(Thursday 30 November 2023; 16:24)
So Mariah should not record a song with Justin Timberlake because of two actions two decades ago? The outcry over the breast exposure at the SuperBowl was an overreaction from a very conservative section of what was at the time (and possibly still is) a very conservative country. That Justin Timberlake didn't want his career to die on that particular hill is hardly surprising, nor unforgivable. Further, the lows of his consensual private relationships are not in the public interest. "Someone-in-their-twenties-twenty-years-ago-dumped-someone-for-someone-else Shocker" is hardly cause for cancellation. Or at least it ought not to be. But the lunatics appear to have taken over the asylum.

There was a documentary about the nipplegate with Janet Jackson. And Justin didn't go well on the docu. That "Yours" with him as a duet wasn't released because he feared about his "good name" and career says it all. He's the real slim shady. Lol.

Yes, I can't stand Justin Timberlake. He always played the nice guy, but he really seems like a bad snake. So "Yours" without him is fine. "There for me" is a beautiful song. Should have been a bonus track on Glitter.

Emotions formula (104,297) by Terna from Nigeria
(Thursday 30 November 2023; 11:11)
I beg to differ, I don't need her trying to revisit an old formula, "Emotions" was also a near sophomore slump that just wasn't as strong as the first record, neither were the tunes even as memorable like the debut. Mariah is talented enough and creative enough to come up with something fresh, music genres out her comfort zone and especially working with newer producers who have their fingers on the current pulse of music and where it's going, for a fresh sound. Secondly her singing style is dated, too decorated she needs to tone down the girlie "curliecues" and sing straight, mainly with her chest voice, for balance and contrast, so that when she does falsett, it is a breath of fresh air (she did this with great pleasant effect in the late 90's), it just got over bearing from the Charmbracelet era, was too much and very off putting. Her vocal delivery has to be spot on for this new album. I do agree that she needs a return to adult contemporary ballads but sung in her range - "Through the Rain" suffered from this - a beautiful ballad, a very memorable melody but sung too high that the audience cannot sing along. (This is why Adele works so well.) Finally, a change of hair colour or return to her brunette curls - the former would be preferred. Get that tired blonde color retired at least for an era, it ages you 15 minutes.

Would you rather (104,294) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
(Thursday 30 November 2023; 02:39)
I would also like to add Mariah to that list. His team allegedly didn't let his feature on "Yours" not to be released due to the fact that Mariah was going through a bad time in her career. He then tried to hit her up when she came back like a Phoenix with Mimi. So I'm on the boat of not caring about his version to be released simply because we don't need a fair weather friend. (Side note he was recently caught getting handsy with his co-actor and had to publicly apologise to his wife. That guy is through and through a low life.)

Emotions formula (104,291) by Robert-Anthony from United States

We need another album of Hot AC and R&B ballads, Carole King type of ballads, inspirational bops and a 70s R&B female group sample. That was Emotions. We need another Emotions album.

Brand new album. That is how she stays relevant. Even if it's not a blockbuster hit, a good album is a good album, and it eventually reaches new fans. That is what happened to Caution, its impact was slow burn.

And in my opinion, it set the stage for the smashing return of AIWFCIY in 2018/2019. She needs to go back to releasing albums. That's her starter pack for the new gen to her classics.

I think she's talking about Janet's nipple exposure at the Super Bowl and now Britney's revelation about her having an abortion when they were dating. I would like to hear the song though.

What a coincidence, streamed a couple of documentaries on The Bee Gees last week. I didn't know Celine's Immortality, a very special song to me, had originally been written and sung by them. Andy stated they thought Immortality was the best song they had ever written. Sadly, Mariah lost confidence in her solo pen game a long time ago.

Unlike Britney who also did the dirty on him with Wade Robson. I like Justin and I like Britney. I don't care what they get up to in their personal lives. No one is perfect.

What's Justin Timberlake done that is "shady"? And only to women? To which women?

I recently streamed a documentary on the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb. If you haven't seen it, I do recommended it - it's quite extraordinary.

One notable thing from it was the retelling of Barry Gibb's move into composing for other artists once the group's career had begun to wind down. He has surprisingly written many very well known and recognisable songs for other world famous artists. Mariah ought to have done this a long time ago. She may still yet have time.

In terms of her own releases, a duets album is preferential to a standard studio album that will chart one week only to disappear the next.

I don't know about you, but I am already over All I Want For Christmas Is You.

A brand new album would be better since it will be hard to provide the loyal fans with a complete Rarities album of unheard songs. The first Rarities album had some really good gems but we'd heard a few of the tracks already.

I agree with most of these tracks except I don't care to hear Justin Timberlake or want Mariah associating with him. He's a snake and has done some shady ish towards women. I can't stand people like him, a true culture vulture. There For Me has always been one of my favorites and I include it in my Glitter soundtrack playlist.
