Re: Mariah cover songs (99,637) (99,642) by Bill from the UK
Open Arms was released in the UK and got to Number 4. The Wind is technically a remake, but the original was an instrumental, Mariah added lyrics.

Oh yes, I missed that one out lol. I have to rearrange it because it's in my top 3. Thanks Rashidi. I knew I was missing something I can't believe it. Now it's top ten and Out Here On My Own comes after I Still Believe.

Re: Mariah cover songs (99,637) (99,640) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
As for me, my favorite would be Out Here On My Own. Perfect vocals; raw and expressive. I wonder why Mariah didn't include the song in either Chatmbracelet or The Emancipation of Mimi. It could be a hit.

I wonder (99,639) by Bobby A from United States
We all know that Mariah likes to record at night. I wonder has she always been that way. She really didn't talk or post pictures about it until around the TEOM area. I wonder did Tommy allow her to record at night during their marriage. The Dream said that she had him working like a slave. JD couldn't spend more time with Janet because of recording with MC. It is definitely obvious that her voice works and sounds better at night. Remember the epic #Beautiful whistle notes failure on Good Morning America in 2013. The look on Miguel's face was like "C'mon baby, you got this." Lol. I wish that I could post the video.

Thank you, RL. I forgot to mention WBT remix of Peter Rauofer's Reconstruction Club mix. Pure perfection.

Mariah cover songs (99,637) by Lainsky from Philippines
Lately, I have been listening to almost all of Mariah's cover songs from her studio albums. I could not help but notice something. I kept repeating some of these cover songs. We all know that some are album fillers while the rest are released as singles. Probably, she has done a dozen remakes from her catalog or even more. What are your favorites? Here's my top nine list.

1. I Still Believe - sounds better than the original (sorry Brenda)
2. Open Arms - released as a single in my country after Fantasy, it could have been a number 1 hit in US or UK
3. Do You Know Where You're Going To - simply love her rendition, especially the whistling part at the end
4. Without You - let the song speak for itself
5. I'll Be There - fell in love with her more with this remake
6. I Want To Know What Love Is - she's almost there in this one but still sounds good
7. Bringing On The Heartbreak - wish she cover another pop-rock song and make it her own
8. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On - love her take on this, it would be nice for her to cover another dance track like this
9. Against All Odds - the full voice and high note display is remarkable

I guess nine is okay for a change. I don't listen to others that are not on the list. There's One More Try (MIAMTEC), Beautiful Ones (Butterfly), and The Wind (Emotions - this is a remake, right?). Again, covers from her albums only. Tributes are excluded. Care to share yours?

Matty: is there a specific vocal part in those club mixes that stand out?
(Saturday 5 February 2022; 05:10)
Re: Favorite resung vocal (99,631) (99,635) by RL from USA
Robert-Anthony: that is a good pick. I just relistened to that track and the vocal/scats are very impressive.

Re: Favorite resung vocal (99,630) (99,634) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
Fantasy, Dreamlover, ATYNAF, and You’re Mine Eternal club remixes.

Re: Nick's sorted relationship history (99,628) (99,633) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
Pw, it's not that serious, this is a discussion board, that's all. It's never that serious. I think you missed the discussion; 8 children plus 8 jobs. How precent can one human be for 16 major responsibilities? 8 of which demand an emotional presences and physical presence. It wasn't about his career hustle; it's about what a child needs from their father.

Re: Lusty McListface (99,629) (99,632) by Bobby A from United States
Melt Away. Oh, how I wished she had performed this song live with Melanie Daniels, Cindy Mizelle, The Price Sisters and Trey. The background vocals that MC did are probably her best in arrangements.

Anytime You Need A Friend has some crazy vocals and scatting.

Favorite resung vocal (99,630) by RL from USA
Just curious what everyone's favorite remix track is (hip-hop or house/dance)? Specifically on that favorite track, what is your favorite resung vocal?
(Friday 4 February 2022; 22:19)
Lusty McListface (99,629) by Bill from the UK
Best background vocals:

Underneath the Stars - The acapella revealed so many more layers than you can hear on the album version. I adore the "young love" and the harmonies on the bridge.

Never Forget You - Babyface and Mariah's vocals melding together just sounds divine. I love the arrangement of the backings on this song, and the "ohs" after the beats on the chorus.

Can't Let Go - If only for the harmonising with that final upper register "go". I also love the backgrounds during the bridge, they're so dramatic.

Slipping Away - As the song enters its outro, and the bridge and the chorus are blended together over Mariah's as libs - wow.

Vision of Love - The first and fairest of them all. Love that she kept the demo vocals in for posterity, and the first ever high note of hers the world would hear.

Re: Nick's sorted relationship history (99,622) (99,628) by Anonymous from UK
When you're moaning about how many jobs Nick Cannon has, then you're grasping at straws as an excuse to bitch. He has that many because he wants that many, maybe? How many does Mariah have? I can count 5, at present, that we're aware of, and she doesn't need any of them. Give it a rest everyone, it's boring, unnecessary, and literally has nothing to do with Mariah, this board, nor yourselves.

Re: Nick's sorted relationship history (99,625) (99,627) by Susana from USA
Nick has said, even after the 8th baby announcement, he's not ruling out having more.

I'm not so tired of the gowns in the appropriate setting, but I am tired of the corset look. It looks like she's trying too hard when she doesn't have to. I personally wish she would not wear that look any longer because it doesn't look good in my opinion.

Possible MC16 topics (99,626) by Bobby A from United States
Numerous events have happened in MC's life since 2019. It is really hard to say what she will talk about on MC16. Maybe she will talk about motherhood, Nick's current situation, NYE's debacle, Crustella or even Tanaka. I am hoping that she goes back to stronger lyrics and not too many samples. I would love a piano ballad duet that she sings with a hot male or artist right now like Lucky Daye (Over) or J Howell (Something About Ya). I wouldn't mind a Neptunes or Pharrell only collaboration. He can create some hot beats by himself that are infectious like Summer Walker's Dat Right There. Oh well, only time will tell. Happy Friday everyone.

Re: Nick's sorted relationship history (99,622) (99,625) by Randy from USA
Matty I have to agree with you. I always was rooting for reconciliation. But now I don't see that happening. I always thought Nick was adorable in a goofy kind of way but I do think you can't be there for 8 kids with 6 baby mommas and something tells me he ain't done procreating yet. And for Ricardo this is the one man that Mariah has kids with who is parading his studliness for the media. I do think it's fair game for comment. In addition, I do not want her to marry Tanaka. I somehow think that would have happened already if it was going to happen. And what age do you all think Mariah will ditch the mermaid glittering gowns and the idea of being eternally 12? She's about to be 52. Do I hear 55? 60 anyone?

Mariah (99,624) by Ricardo from New Zealand
Um, gossiper's much? I get adoration and even critique of Mariah's talent. Even the hardships she faced getting to and during her stunning success. But just to start delving into things that have absolutely nothing to do with her singing or music is really annoying to me. I understand she's a human being, but some of you are really starting to treat her and her life with disrespect.

Re: Nick's sorted relationship history (99,622) (99,623) by Bill from the UK
The thing is Nick and his acquaintances are all adults, they can make their own choices. It is however the children I feel sorry for, and it does also somewhat cheapen and weaken the union he had with Mariah.

Nick's sorted relationship history (99,622) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
This [Nick] Cannon stuff is so layered. I agree it's interesting that the women post [baby] Golden need to take a hard look at their intentions. Let's also take a look at Nick's [dating] history. I mean we have Christina Milian (which seemed sincere and they were at the same level of fame at the time of their courtship), there was Nichol Scherzinger (same as Christina, they were level in fame and still are and now colleagues on the Masked Singer), [there] was Kim K, [he] was more famous than at the time, when she had her first face and was know only as Paris's [bestie], before the sex tape (full disclosure, I love Kim K, I'm stating facts). There was Chill from TLC who was his rebound from Mariah. And then [all] these models and [babies].

My personal believe is that because he's publicly struggled with a lot of health issues (lupus etc.), and you can see his health wear on him. It's almost a primal desire to spread his seed before he's not around. It's a dark view, but knowing some [people] who face their mortality have a similar need to secure their lineage. I do echoing that it's pathological, and I would suggest it's because of his thoughts about his own mortality.

I see a thick thread between the need for spreading his seed to why he feels he needs 10 jobs as once. I dunno how he can do it, and I truly don't understand why you'd want to do it. Why not focus on something meaning, instead of all the multi-task life. I dunno; X amount of jobs, and X amount of [babies] doesn't equal superiority or an exertion of masculinity, or acceptance or many needs.

Side note; I have always been team Mariah and Nick reuniting after [baby] four. I was over it.

I kind of feel like he's making babies for the headlines and airtime. One word: thirsty.

Re: Nick Cannon (99,614) (99,619) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I'm pretty sure they are all superficial and just like a "Barbie Doll" but clever enough to know they will get money for life by the celebrity clown Nick Cannon. They are all disgusting. I'm sorry for Mariah and Roc and Monroe. Rich kids, but when they get older, they will have a lot of questions and that won't be easy for them. I ask myself if this is a revenge from "Mr Cannon" or if he's really that dumb and careless.
