Somewhat Loved (98,185) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The song Somewhat Loved was originally written back in 2012. She even mentioned on Twitter that she had written the song when the twins were babies. (Wednesday 16 June 2021; 03:18)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,184) by Mara from United States If I could go back, I would have picked Lead The Way as mine. Mariah's version of "You and I" is another song fit for a wedding and you can't go wrong with the classic "Vision of Love". (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 23:42)

MC's new managment (98,183) by Nikki from usa I hope this is a good move, I think it is. Beyonce is a huge event. That requires a lot of preparation and a long pushed project. Mariah does more things in less time. Roc Nation only seemed to pull through with the production of MC's Christmas season. The rest of it they seem to leave up to her for short lived self-promo. It really hasn't been working well when she has so many little tours every year and does side projects in between. She loves to collab so much, this probably leaves her cold. If it weren't for the internet I'd never know when she's touring or coming out with anything. Which has nothing to do with promo either, but fans talking on social media. Yet, when she teamed up with Apple, they promoted her and got the word out. If her manager is also a partner at this new place than she's likely to get more attention to all of her extra projects.

Re: Spoiler alert (98,129) (98,182) by TJ from Norway I just don't feel the song. Give me, please, a song that is just a melody and a that's it. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 21:08)

Somewhat the same, but "new"? (98,181) by Nikki from usa This sounds like the same kind of music she's been making over the past few years. Like "I Don't". Or songs from Empire. I will say "Where I Belong" is a song she made with Busta back in 2017, so who knows when MC actually contributed to this song? It may be a few years old too. Don't we always hear she's making new music every year, but wonder where it is? I like it. It's good, but it's not original or creative for a "Mariah" record for me. I don't see anyone, but MC fans and general R&B fans being on board with this. I actually expected more of a reaction from the general public for Where I Belong. I've heard it on the radio a few times, specifically, on R&B stations. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 21:07)

Re: Promotion (98,153) (98,180) by Nikki from usa I think there's a misunderstanding here. Somewhat Loved isn't Mariah's song. That's why she's "featured"' like how Bruno Mars was "featured" on Uptown Funk. It's not his song, it's the producer's song who have an album out despite he's singing because they don't sing. Terry and Jim have an album out and it's their first, they're not going to be singing on it. It's their baby, not Mariah's. That's why she's not on the picture. Mariah wouldn't be doing anything unless they ask, it's not her place. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 21:00)

Re: Undeniable MC (98,163) (98,178) by Stacey from USA I think it's great MC has an "undeniable sound". It's exactly why she's managed to enjoy a decades long career. You put on an MC record and there is no doubt it's a Mariah Carey record. How many times on shows like American Idol or The Voice, X-Factor, AGT, etc do we hear contestants get praised for that special sound, something extra that separates them from the crowd? You put on a Beatles record, Madonna, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson and ask yourself what ties them all together? Their undeniable sound. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 20:30)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,177) by Leonard from Indonesia "Thank God I Found You" and "Whenever You Call". (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 20:16)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,176) by dicky kw from indonesia I think Whenever You Call can be a perfect wedding song. I showed it to my friend once when he was about to get married and he chose it right away. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 15:55)

Re: Wedding song (98,173) (98,175) by MusicfanJ from Germany Music Box. So romantic. Yes, almost all Mariah songs are so hard to sing. I love her clear, "darker" voice on Music Box. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 13:36)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,174) by Terna from Nigeria "Joy Ride", "Music Box", "With You" and "Whenever you call" come to mind. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 12:25)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,173) by 123 from USA Music Box. It's a good choice if you are looking for someone to sing it. It's sung mostly in her middle register with few transitions and inflections. Part of what Mariahs song so hard to replicate is all the transitions. She's whispering on second, diving to a deep note the next, only to jump up to a high belt and then go into her falsetto. Who can keep up with that - lol. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 05:16)

Re: Wedding song (98,170) (98,172) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was thinking of that too. Such a beautiful song, beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics. One of her most underrated #1's. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 04:25)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,171) by enwar00 from usa My niece has said she wants Thank God I Found You as her wedding song. So that's the first one that came to mind. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 01:27)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,170) by Bill from the UK Thank God I Found You. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 01:05)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,169) by Mynn from Planet Lamb So Blessed lol, just kidding. I heard people say "When I Saw You" would be a good one, but it might be a bit dramatic. But if we're going dramatic, then you can't really go wrong with "Till the End of Time". I can see "Whenever You Call" or "Joyride" as well. (Monday 14 June 2021; 22:09)

Re: Wedding song (98,166) (98,168) by Bobby A from United States Yours was called The Wedding Song by Jimmy Jam's son after he played it to him. (Monday 14 June 2021; 20:37)

Charmbraclet Tour MP3 (98,167) by Bobby A from United States Does anybody have a mp3 download file of the Charmbraclet Tour that surfaced on internet during MC's Las Vegas Palms Residency? The MDJ website has been shut down. (Monday 14 June 2021; 19:43)

Wedding song (98,166) by Littal from USA Hi all, happy pride month. Was hopeful that someone would have suggestions/lists on best Mariah song for a wedding? (Monday 14 June 2021; 17:49)

Mariah and George Michael (98,165) by Mara from United States So I was going through some George and Mariah songs on YouTube searching for rare ones from both of them, and came across a mix of "One More Try" like a duet of their vocals mixed and it was my dream come true for me wishing all my life that they had done a duet/collaboration together. Whoever did it, did a great job. From there I came across a mix of Cry Baby and Careless Whisper - those two songs amazingly work really well together and are worth checking out too, especially the end add libs to Cry Baby mixed with George and the end of Careless Whisper. I only wish I could get someone who is talented in that area to finally mix both their versions if "You and I" since they both covered that song beautifully and make one complete song like MC on the first verse and GM on the second. I don't know who I can ask to do that, but maybe start with the ones who mixed OMT. I know their voices would sound so good on that song mixed together. Mariah being the huge George fan that she is, needs to hear those mixes on YouTube though. (Monday 14 June 2021; 02:14)

Re: Undeniable MC (98,163) (98,164) by Mara from United States While I get what your friends say, I have to admit that that sound is the sound I totally live for. There is something so magical about the sound of Mariah's whistle tone and she def seemed to put it more on the back burner for Caution and used it more sparingly. I think the way she uses the whistles in Somewhat Loved is what I love. That second verse where she says "Sprung out of control" sounds so good. I played the song on repeat in my earbuds on a walk the other day and it gave me that pumped up Triumphant vibe making me motivated to get moving. There is no doubt this is a full on Mariah style vocal arrangement and I'm here for it. I'm just glad she has a new song to turn up and listen to in the summer months. I'm just having fun with it for now and can't wait for more new MC material. (Monday 14 June 2021; 02:02)

Undeniable MC (98,163) by Bobby A from United States Somewhat Loved shows that MC is not going [to] stop including her whistle notes or whispery tone in her songs. I played Somewhat Loved at my party last night attended by non-Mariah fans. Each one said that [it] is definitely a Mariah Carey song. They commented about how they wished she would stop with all of the whistle notes. One of [my] friends said that the bridge in Somewhat Loved was too much. (Sunday 13 June 2021; 18:45)

Re: ABMB (98,161) (98,162) by Stacey from USA Definitely a classic from the best album ever, lol. (Sunday 13 June 2021; 02:21)

ABMB (98,161) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How does ABMB sound like a classic 90s song and yet simultaneously sound so fresh and current? Never gets old. (Saturday 12 June 2021; 21:26)

Re: Somewhat not feeling it (98,157) (98,160) by Mynn from Planet Lamb So did y'all notice at the third chorus after the bridge, when Mariah sings "there's no such thing as lovers and friends" she kinda sounds like 2005 Mariah? Lol. Someone in the comments of a Mariahxlambily video pointed this out, and I've been obsessed with that part since. Or I guess 2006 Adventures of Mimi tour is more accurate. But the 2005-2006 time period is what her tone during that particular lyric reminds me of. (Saturday 12 June 2021; 13:27)
