Re: The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,303) (98,304) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "I don't wanna cry" is not on the international releases of #1's because that song was not released as a single in most countries. On the international release, "I don't wanna cry" was replaced with "Without you", which was her biggest hit in most countries, but not even #1 in the USA. (Thursday 1 July 2021; 11:01)

Re: The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,293) (98,303) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Maybe she disown I Don't Wanna Cry as her number one single, so technically I'll Be There is her 5th number one. Even in #1's album non-US edition, the one that I bought, I Don't Wanna Cry is not included. (Thursday 1 July 2021; 10:51)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,299) (98,302) by JC from USA Mariah is unlikely to have any new material viral on TikTok; if anything, it will be older "classics". SL gets 2 stars from this lamb. Chorus is decent. "Ain't such things as lover and friends" ties it together nicely, especially how drawn out "lover and friends" is. Overall structure is a bit disjointed. Intro, versus, chorus, all sounds like half baked songs pasted together. I see a lot of praise for the lyrics (SMH). It feels like a failed attempt at narrating a story. I was so underwhelmed, I didn't even try to push this song on my friends the way I did the whole Caution album. Can Mariah get someone to clean up her work? I wish she'd relinquish some writing and production control to someone with more skin in today's music game. (Thursday 1 July 2021; 04:52)

One More Try (98,301) by Bobby A from United States I was listening to One More Try on vinyl yesterday. I noticed that MC's vocals sound less hoarse than on the CD version. Has anybody else noticed this? (Wednesday 30 June 2021; 14:26)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,299) (98,300) by Stacey from USA I like the song but it ain't gonna hit #1. (Wednesday 30 June 2021; 06:57)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,296) (98,299) by Mynn from Planet Lamb Because SL is actually a bop, and y'all are gonna continue to sleep on it until it unexpectedly blows up on TikTok and becomes her 20th #1. (Tuesday 29 June 2021; 22:22)

ABMB withdrawn picture sleeve (98,298) by Bill from the UK This is something I've been mulling over for, ooh I don't know, about 15 years now. In the UK, Always Be My Baby was released in the following formats: cassette single, two CD singles, and a 7" and 12" single. This site's discography has item 2397 listed, which is the second CD single (the club mixes), with a different cover to what was released. Other pics are available on the release page on Discogs. As we know, this CD was issued with the beautiful cover of Mariah in the snake skin shirt, and this original picture sleeve was withdrawn from sale, thus making it somewhat impossible to ever find. What I find curious, is that the UK CD single is the *only* release with this cover, Mariah in the snake skin shirt. The withdrawn picture sleeve, an alternative shot of the regular picture sleeve (from the remix video), is issued on several releases worldwide, and even in the UK itself for the 12". So, I sometimes wonder in the dead of night as I'm collecting my thoughts for the day, if the *wrong* picture sleeve was withdrawn? I find it so odd that only one release across the globe uses the snake skin picture sleeve, and the withdrawn sleeve was issued in every other territory in the world. (Tuesday 29 June 2021; 20:57)

Re: The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,294) (98,297) by Bobby A from United States Edward, your sense of humor this summer keeps me laughing. Keep it coming. (Tuesday 29 June 2021; 15:53)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,295) (98,296) by Bobby A from United States Hold up. Mediabase just updated the weekly total for SL and it made the Top 20 with 428 spins for the last 7 days. I can't believe it. (Tuesday 29 June 2021; 15:50)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,292) (98,295) by Bobby A from United States It looks like streaming and radio airplay has stalled in last 7 days. It is safe to say that SL won't make the Adult R&B Top 20. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis didn't say it, but I think SL was just a hype single for the album. The real big hits are going to be the Mary J Blige, Heather Headley, and Boys II Men tracks on the album.

Re: The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,293) (98,294) by Edward from USA They're giving out a partial refund of 5 cents to those who want to claim it. I got mine. I'm using the money towards her next album. Thanks for bringing it up. I almost lost all that money. (Tuesday 29 June 2021; 15:36)

The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,293) by Chicago Lamb from USA So, I'm listening to the audio book for the 2nd time and I noticed an error. Mariah talks about her #1 song [I'll be there], but refers to it as her "5th #1", which as any good lamb knows it's her 6th. Has anyone else noticed if the book mirrors the same error? How could Mariah herself have made such a mistake? (Monday 28 June 2021; 15:04)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,290) (98,292) by Stacey from USA Thank you for being you. (Sunday 27 June 2021; 03:12)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,289) (98,291) by Stacey from USA "Flicks the little pesky fly off my shoulder." That pretty much sums up my feelings about your post. Carey on. (Sunday 27 June 2021; 03:11)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,289) (98,290) by Edward from USA Don't be mean, there's no need for that. This pandemic has affected many of us, anything could be sweet quality music to our ears. "Infinity" has a new found meaning to me, and the remix with those 10 rappers and Justin is to die for, literally. "One More Try" is pure perfection. Of course the one sung by George Michael.

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,287) (98,289) by Mò from South Africa Stacey, lives in its own rotten world. (Saturday 26 June 2021; 14:19)

Re: Pressure by Kenny Lattimore (98,286) (98,288) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa It's so beautiful I love it. Their voices would sound great together too. Mariah needs a great R&B duet in the style of Spend My Life With You by Eric Benet and Tamia. (Saturday 26 June 2021; 13:39)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,282) (98,287) by Stacey from USA Another one bites the dust. I'll admit, Somewhat Loved is no WBT or ABMB, timeless classics. But please don't lump the song in the same group as Crapfinity. Somewhat Loved ain't that bad. Crapfinity lives in its own rotten world. (Saturday 26 June 2021; 11:27)

Pressure by Kenny Lattimore (98,286) by Bobby A from United States Hey guys. You have to checkout Pressure by Kenny Lattimore. This song reminds me of MC so much. The way Kenny is singing it is MC's vocal stylings. It was produced and written by three up and coming producers - FWDSLXSH, Blake Straus, Madicin, and hot producer Bizness Boi. I hope that she works with these producers. (Saturday 26 June 2021; 03:59)

Re: Mariah was Britney (98,284) (98,285) by RibbonB from USA Well IDK, according to the book Miss Pat was tryna swoop in, but Mimi fought her off like she was Bianca and did a quick two step outta the "retreat" and said helll to the naw like Whitney. But seriously, Mimi found the will to cut ties with the label head, but cutting family ties is always complicated, which is why I get Mariah's complicated relationship with her mom and her side effects with TM. Speaking of Whitney, her sister in law had a grip on her and is still making yet another Whitney story, SMH, but Clive is also involved. Her reaction to WH death is creepy.

Mariah was Britney (98,284) by T from USA I see no difference in the control between Britney and Mariah's 1990-1997 years. She had to perform when told to, record when told. The only difference to me is Mariah was more street savvy and was able to navigate her way out of it. By the time Mariah had her breakdown she was almost 32 years old without a domineering parent to try and swoop up control. Just be thankful that a Stella like character did not enter the scene in 2001/2002. (Friday 25 June 2021; 22:33)

Re: Britney Spears (98,278) (98,283) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I agree, I don't think they are monitored and regulated in any way that is beneficial to the conservatee. Britney's statement was so devastating. I hope she gets her freedom and some kind of justice. I could have easily seen this happening to MC after Glitter especially after reading about that era in the memoir. On another note, Stella is almost as much of a snake as Lou M. Taylor.

Somewhat Loved (98,282) by Jono from USA After giving it a week of solid listening, the song is just ok for me. My issue with it is how busy it sounds; there's too many ideas. Much like Infinity, there are some meh parts, some brilliant parts, and just too many parts. (Friday 25 June 2021; 20:42)

Re: Tanaka and Nick (98,279) (98,281) by Bobby A from United States Thank you. Nikki, I am glad someone else agrees with me. I was only speaking from observation from his tweets and videos. (Friday 25 June 2021; 19:54)

Re: Back to Somewhat Loved (98,277) (98,280) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa When I heard it on loud speakers (finally) it took the tune to the next level. Definitely enjoyable and interesting. It sounds great back to back with What Can I Say? by Janet. Have yet to hear it in the car but I can't wait. (Friday 25 June 2021; 18:39)
