Re: Rarities 2 (98,635) (98,637) by Bobby A from United States Great observation. Terna, what happen to the frequent member who I called Sugar Plum? She hasn't posted since the failed hype about the A No No Remix. I can't remember her name. You laughed at the fact that I called her Sugar Plum. (Tuesday 21 September 2021; 00:13)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,633) (98,636) by Bobby A from United States I love your list. She is going to have to make The Rarities 2 bigger than the first one. I want the other Timbaland and JD tracks from Memoirs. I would love to hear the Bobby Ross Avila and Diane Warren tracks from Caution. I believe last year this time we already had an announcement about The Rarities and Edward's favorite MC song Save The Day. Lol. She's going to make us wait this year (Tuesday 21 September 2021; 00:03)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,635) by Terna from Nigeria I have a feeling that we're going to get songs from the years that were skipped on the first CD, I think from about 1997 to year 2000 and then again all the other years. Wow. She's got so much unreleased music, recall that demo CD she was rumoured to be working on? That too could see the light of day. I would melt if she released "Sky Diving", do you know just how much I [love] that song? To me it kind of picks up where "Underneath The Stars" left off (insinuating even the best things, come to an end relationships included). Even in it's demo form, [it] is a standout song.

The Meaning of MC audio book (98,634) by Chicago Lamb from USA Does anyone here enjoy listening to the audio book of TMOMC as much as me? It's great on a plane where I've listened through it at least 3 times now. With each listen I get something new. For example, she's really warm when it comes to Brenda K. Star. What an honor to be a part of Mariah's legacy. Anyway, Mariah's soothing voice is great, even when I dose off for a nap. It's like listening to your favorite album over and over.

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,633) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia My choice of tracklisting: 1. I Feel It 2. Bring It On Home 3. Hypnotized 4. Right To Dream 5. Help Me Make It Through The Night 6. Imperfect 7. Misty Moon 8. Last Chance 9. Turn You Loose (Lilies's Blue) 10. Where Are You Christmas For Last Chance and Where Are You Christmas, I'm very sure Mariah sang the demo as vocal guide for Allure and Faith because they sang those songs exactly like Mariah.

Re: Rarities 2 (98,630) (98,632) by Bill from the UK Yep she confirmed it on Twitter on that Lambily Lounge thing she does. (Monday 20 September 2021; 10:44)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,631) by Bill from the UK I hope that Rarities 2 has the 1993 Music Box concert at MSG as a live disc, and that the concert footage is released on Blu-ray as with Tokyo Dome. There were quite a few omissions from Rarities 1 (There For Me, Imperfect, Skydiving) so I hope we get those. As the TEOM and E=MC2 b-sides are now on the streaming platforms please don't waste disc space with them. And please Mariah. The demo tape. (Monday 20 September 2021; 09:39)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,628) (98,630) by Stacey from USA Do we even know if MC is planning on releasing a part 2? (Monday 20 September 2021; 02:49)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,627) (98,629) by RibbonB from USA I totally agree. I don't know the context at all though, but it's childish and petty if she is referring to her kids' siblings. A lot of silly fans like to stir the pot and say things to her to get a reaction, but her standard "we love everybody" would've sufficed. Of course some other silly fans call her mom, now that would have been shade if she were referring to them. She has only to look at her own nieces and nephews to steer clear of that kind of talk, but then maybe she only recognizes the first two. (Monday 20 September 2021; 01:47)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,628) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don’t care much for the Timberlake collab simply because he dropped her because her care was at a low and then tried to hit her up when she came back with TEOM. Plus he did Britney dirty. I do want to hear the final product of Skydiving. (Monday 20 September 2021; 01:11)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,621) (98,627) by Stacey from USA Mariah got this wrong. Period. (Monday 20 September 2021; 00:49)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,625) (98,626) by Brad from USA We really shouldn't assume what is and isn't being dropped at Mariah's doorstep these days. It may actually have been shade to another baby mama, not necessarily Nick. (Monday 20 September 2021; 00:11)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,621) (98,625) by Edward from USA Mariah doesn't have to emphasize anything to show her kids or anybody how good of a mother she is, she was being shady, that comment was simply uncalled for, especially knowing Nick is not her effing husband. It's not like he'll be shoving his tribe of kids and baby mamas down her throat. We know Mariah is a great mother by her actions, evidenced by how happy and well taken care of her kids are, period. As Stacey stated, whether she likes it or not, those kids are her kids' siblings and always will be. Trying to justify a comment like that with some explanation that seemed to have been pulled out of someone's ass doesn't cut it. I'm pretty sure if Mariah put a collection of farts in the studio, we would all find the beauty in them, and some would emphasize how even when farting she's in perfect pitch.

Rarities 2 (98,624) by Bobby A from United States I wonder what songs are going to be on this second collection of rarities. I am hoping for leftover tracks like Reaching For The Sky, Yours ft. Justin Timberlake, the rumoured The Runners tracks, and Skydiving. It is going to be interesting to see the tracklisting. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 18:44)

Re: You're Mine (Eternal) (98,622) (98,623) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Love that song. Also a shame that they could've done so much with the videos and ended up with a disappointing one. I absolutely love the shots of Mariah in the rainforest. Stunning visuals. They could've played more on the little mermaid theme they were clearly trying to go for. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 15:54)

You're Mine (Eternal) (98,622) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always thought this song could have been a hit song, or maybe a moderate hit song, if only Mariah perform this song during the song's promotional appearances. In 2014, Mariah made several promo appearances for this song and album, and yet she never performed this song. She went to 106 and Park, MTV First, David Letterman, Today Show, World Music Awards, and NBC Special At Home In Concert. Mariah even went to the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon just to throw money on him (a prank, of course, to congratulate him in his show) without having to perform nor giving interview for the album. If only she took the effort to perform this song live on all those appearances then this song would definitely have more chances to be a hit song. Such a waste of opportunity. The main reason why We Belong Together became a big hit in 2005 was because she took the opportunity to sing live on all the appearances. The only live performance she did for You're Mine (Eternal) was at BET Honors. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 05:45)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,619) (98,621) by Geronimo from USA I agree with you that Morrocan and Monroe will need to get along with their father's children as half siblings. But it is Mariah Carey's job to emphasize to her two children that they are the only ones with which she is concerned in any significant way. It might be a different story if Maria [sic] and Nick were still married and his children with another woman lived part of the time in Maria's [sic] house. But Nick's other children have mothers of their own. Those mothers feel the same way about their children as Mariah feels about her own children. Complex family units can be very confusing if parents don't make their priorities crystal clear. If all the children feel secure and loved by their respective parents, then they will have no reason to compete with each other and they can get on well. I think that's healthy. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 02:40)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,617) (98,620) by Geronimo from USA I think you misunderstand her meaning. She is affirming the centrality of her own children in her life amidst the relative marginality of the children that her ex-husband has had outside the family circle that Monroe and Moroccan originally enjoyed as there "native unit", so to speak. It's a loving thing for her to affirm and prioritize her own children and doing so in the manner that she did does not amount to an incapacity with regard to children on the periphery of her life. But she did establish a rank and that is appropriate given their increasingly complex family context, in my opinion. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 02:31)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,617) (98,619) by Stacey from USA Bless those of us who threw away our rose colored sunglasses a long time ago. Those other kids are Roc and Roe's half siblings whether MC wants to acknowledge it or not. That's a fact. Mariah got this wrong. Period. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 02:10)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,617) (98,618) by Bobby A from United States I think it may have been a hot moment comment because Nick has had so many children by so many different women. MC has a kind giving spirit and I don't think she would mistreat Nick's other children if they were all in her presence with Roc and Roe. She loves Allison's son Shawn. (Saturday 18 September 2021; 23:14)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,616) (98,617) by Edward from USA Some people find it funny and stuff, but to me that comment was rather disgusting, because she's basically saying she doesn't acknowledge, and is incapable of loving, any other kids besides hers, which is patheric and ridiculous. But oh well, if Mariah said it, it's funny, cool, deep and all. (Saturday 18 September 2021; 19:38)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,613) (98,616) by Anonymous from UK I'd be horrified if my mother said this, referring to my dad and half siblings. (Saturday 18 September 2021; 02:37)

No shade, just mature parenting (98,615) by Geronimo from USA It was great to see MC take the moment to affirm her children (in public and in their presence). Of course it's cute and fun for Mariah to "shade" that other entertainer who she doesn't know. But she's too mature to disrespect her family by confusing entertainment and branding with real life and I was happy to see that. (Wednesday 15 September 2021; 22:00)

Re: Twitter Spaces (98,612) (98,614) by Will from England One thing that stood out to me most was her openly talking about the upcoming projects that would be for her legacy. To me, that's the first time she really has openly talked about her legacy, and how she is now actively thinking about what comes next to build upon it and controlling that narrative rather than leaving it until later. It shows that, from my perspective at least, she isn't focused on having a chart hit, but just creating music that she enjoys. (Wednesday 15 September 2021; 21:41)

Did anybody catch the shade? (98,613) by The Real Deal from USA Did anybody catch the shade on Twitter Spaces conversation where she talked about Roc n Roe and she said "These are my only children. And the only children that I acknowledge and love. Understand?" If that wasn't a direct diss to Nick, his baby mamas and seeds, then I don't know what is! (Wednesday 15 September 2021; 18:24)
