Re: Music now (98,584) (98,589) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I feel the same way the last 4 or 5 years. That's no music, that's noise. There's no soul and no heart to it. Even a "bad" song from the 60ies, 70ies, 80ies, 90ies until 2003 is way better than what is popular today. The few "newer" singers I like, have all in common that they have retro vibes (real instruments, can actually sing lol) on their music. With the movies it's the same, the older ones are better, but here and there a new one is also enjoyable and pretty good. Something I just can't say about today's music. I'm going to watch the "Music Box concert" again. Time machine lol. Mariah at minute 54, so cool playing air drums. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 19:47)

Re: Music now (98,584) (98,588) by Ricardo from New Zealand AGREEEEEEEEE. Lol. BUT thank the spirits we have a back catalogue of music that will see us through lol. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 04:24)

Re: Music now (98,585) (98,587) by Bill from the UK Yes agree. Abba may single handedly save 2021. I had a lump in my throat when I listened to their two new songs. I can't recall the last time I heard new music that had compositional structure and intelligence, tuneful and familiar/nostalgic melodies, interesting and poignant lyrics, and delivered with integrity and grace. Their music is a testament to their talent, and has only highlighted what the artists of this time lack, with hardly an original thought between them all. A band like Abba have appeared after a 40 year hiatus and blown them all out of the water. Best start saving now for their concert next year. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 03:22)

Re: Music now (98,585) (98,586) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I guess so after 40 years. They might have a huge seller this year. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 03:11)

Re: Music now (98,584) (98,585) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands ABBA! (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 02:21)

Music now (98,584) by Bobby A from United States Popular music right now is just lacking on the radio. There are really not any great songs out right now. I am tired of hear Olivia played every hour. I am hearing the same song reworked as a remix or the producer gave the same beat to a fledging new artist. I really fear this fall is going to be my a wash if we don't get new albums from Adele, Rihanna or Ed Sheeran. Maybe there a surprises that I don't know about. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 00:32)

Re: Lead The Way (98,577) (98,583) by Bobby A from United States Great observation Terna. (Tuesday 7 September 2021; 12:45)

Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,580) (98,582) by Bill from the UK I know right? I have played Vanishing about 90 times this week alone. (Monday 6 September 2021; 23:43)

Re: Why concert in NYC 1993 was the best (98,579) (98,581) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, yes, yes. The way she sings "All in Your mind". I can't believe, it's so good. Then the powerful version of the Dreamlover remix and "Just be good to me". It gives so much joy to watch her. Mariah was rocking that night with all her heart. (Monday 6 September 2021; 22:55)

Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,560) (98,580) by MusicfanJ from Germany That setlist is everything. I'm so "freaking out" about "Vanishing" live. It's out of this world. The power, softness and soul, only Mariah. What a concert, I'm so happy that I can now watch it over and over again. (Monday 6 September 2021; 21:55)

Why concert in NYC 1993 was the best (98,579) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway There is nothing much to say. Has there really been a moment in Mariah's career that a concert has been released without it being dubbed? Mariah's Music Box Tour concert at MSG in 1993 is the only example we've got of a whole concert of Mariah not being dubbed, it's just Mariah and her voice, and personally, I have never heard her better, or seen a human being belting out that many difficult songs back to back with perfect pitch for one and a half hour. That concert is what I'm going to refer to if anybody else in my future life ever questions Mariah's talent. (Monday 6 September 2021; 20:28)

Re: MC16 (98,570) (98,578) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Um, yes. To all of this. I've imagined this before, but as a stage show. In album form would be next level. And maybe with some guests on certain songs and some new covers. Playful and fun like Lullaby of Birdland from The Rarities, but fresh and sleek like WBT MLNVM. I'm so here for this Bill. (Sunday 5 September 2021; 22:25)

Re: Lead The Way (98,574) (98,577) by Terna from Nigeria I always thought this was one of her most engaging and creative vocal performances ever, the way the song just builds steadily and climaxes. She really begun exploring new ways of singing songs in the late 90's and early 2000s that had a "wow" effect like the verse she sang on the "Make it last" remix of "Thank God I found You" and the live version of "O Holy Night" - very unexpected and unpredictable. By "The Emancipation of Mimi", she's an expert with this style of singing which we hear on songs like "Mine Again", "We Belong Together", "Joy Ride" and "Circles". (Sunday 5 September 2021; 10:18)

Re: Marilyn Monroe (98,575) (98,576) by TJ from Norway And here we are, a bunch of adults in different ages, obsessed with MC. The irony. (Sunday 5 September 2021; 00:07)

Marilyn Monroe (98,575) by Victoria from USA I still don't understand the whole Marilyn obsession. Maybe as a child, but not as an adult. [censored] Mariah should be a huge fan of Blowpez, if that's the case. Sorry, just my drunkey thoughts. (Saturday 4 September 2021; 22:22)

Lead The Way (98,574) by Bobby A from United States What is so peculiar about the way MC is singing this classic ballad? I want to say that she is singing underneath the notes. But I know that is not the way to describe it. It is very different from the way she sung Butterfly. I love to hear your responses. Just something to think about on this holiday weekend. (Saturday 4 September 2021; 03:44)

Re: VMAS (98,572) (98,573) by SM from Citizen of the World Fingers crossed it isn't from her living room. (Friday 3 September 2021; 20:35)

VMAS (98,572) by Myles from CT, USA The rumor is that Mariah will close the VMA's for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. (Friday 3 September 2021; 17:09)

Re: MC16 (98,570) (98,571) by Bobby A from United States I like your idea Billy. You may be on to something. She did say she was working on multiple projects on Twitter Spaces. I really feel she is going to mess with our wallets again this October. I am excited for the big announcement coming soon. I just want Glitter and The Remixes on vinyl too. (Friday 3 September 2021; 11:44)

Re: MC16 (98,569) (98,570) by Bill from the UK Rather than an entire new album, what could work is "re-imaginings" of her songs, like the WBT Late Night version. An album of her re-doing some of her tracks in a more free, spontaneous, jazz-esque manner could be great. Especially some of the really old material she may not be that happy with in hindsight. Imagine turning a song like Heartbreaker into a sultry slow jam ballad or removing all the production from Alone In Love? (Friday 3 September 2021; 09:57)

Re: MC16 (98,567) (98,569) by Edward from USA I think she'll release some music, but not a full album at this point and so close to Christmas. I like the fact she's not rushing it, so there's not excuse for a 10-track album or anything lackluster. I would prefer if she releases MC16 next year. The fact she hasn't been touring or been pressured by her label tells me she's crafting a very decent album, with remixes and all. She's had nearly two year, in which she hasn't had any major distractions other than eating sushi. (Wednesday 1 September 2021; 21:06)

Re: MC16 (98,567) (98,568) by Bobby A from United States My gut feeling tells me that we won't receive MC16 until next year. (Wednesday 1 September 2021; 17:11)

MC16 (98,567) by Dav from Ireland Do we think we might get MC16 in 2021? Or is it too close to Christmas? Imagine if she dropped a Dreamlover, Honey, Heartbreaker type single this month? One can fantasize. (Wednesday 1 September 2021; 13:06)

Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,565) (98,566) by Chicago Lamb from USA As a young music consumer in the 90's I, like legions of fans, had to hear Mariah sing everything and anything. So when re-recorded remixes were released, live performances were VHS'd, I collected and collected. I probably own 250+ Mariah releases on CD/vinyl. Thirty years into her career, the collectable and "Have to Hear" moments aren't as abundant. That's what makes this concert footage so special. Takes me back to a time when her voice was high, powerful and pristine. Normally I won't listen to a whole bootleg concert, but this was irresistible. (Tuesday 31 August 2021; 13:55)

Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,564) (98,565) by Victoria from USA It really hurts now to hear her say that her mom is there. It was just to introduce the story we all already know. Patricia singing her that song, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was a one time moment. At least she complimented the see you next Tuesday (Tuesday 31 August 2021; 05:27)
