Re: Your relationship with the Number Ones, today (99,533) (99,542) by Bill from the UK As much as I love AIWFCIY I know what you mean. One of the AC radio stations here in the UK took to playing O Holy Night instead and it sounds divine on the radio. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 08:42)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,532) (99,541) by Bill from the UK Yes, ages ago I think the producer (I forget who) released it unofficially on his MySpace or something, and charged everyone a dollar for it. Mariah went nuts because they never got clearance for the sample, and it also wasn't a finished, final version either. It was a massive drama at the time. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 08:18)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,531) (99,540) by Bill from the UK Lol, every time she posts a picture in the studio we go mad and start complaining because it's usually with JD and a glass of wine. Perhaps she's learnt her lesson hah. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 08:16)

Touch My Body remixes (99,539) by Bobby A from United States The remixes to this song were probably MC's most urban remixes released at that time. Even the official club remixes were more urban sounding than pop. There were so many unofficial remixes from rappers that it was unreal. Infamous R. Kelly remix was the best.

Re: Rarities 2 (99,529) (99,538) by Tevin from USA I agree Bill, we need to hear more debut vocals. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 04:36)

Release hot uptempo single for the summer 2022! (99,537) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah needs to bring back the glory era of her hot uptempo leading singles; Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, Loverboy, It's Like That, Touch My Body, Obsessed and #Beautiful. All those songs top the charts. Even Obsessed was number 7 and gone platinum and Loverboy was number 2 and went on to become the best selling single in 2001. It's Like That and #Beautiful were top 20 song. It's Like That was number 16 and it opened up doors for her comeback album in 2005. #Beautiful was number 15. Even I Know What You Want went to number 3. The public loves Mariah's uptempo songs. Enough with all the beat-ballad as the leading single; You're Mine, Infinity, I Don't and With You/GTFO. Just imagine Thirsty or You Don't Know What To Do as the leading single in 2014 with the video setting of You're Mine. Or, just imagine A No No as the leading single for Caution era with the video setting of With You (but with colored version instead of black and white). I'm sure at least those songs would reach top 20 on the charts. The fate of those two eras in 2014 and 2018 would turned out differently. Ok bye. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 03:46)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,532) (99,536) by Bobby A from United States It was a low quality version leaked by Mahagony. I want the version Mariah intended for us to hear. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 03:33)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,529) (99,535) by Edward from USA When did he say he found it? I'm curious. Never heard of it. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 01:48)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,532) (99,534) by Edward from USA It was not properly released. It was "leaked", but it hasn't ever been available for download anywhere. The same with "Help Me Make It". (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 01:47)

Re: Your relationship with the Number Ones, today (99,528) (99,533) by Randy from USA Bill. How the hell did I forget All I Want For Christmas Is You? I love when it comes on at random on my Christmas list. But I just can't get excited about it anymore. Y'all have to admit it is everywhere the entire holiday season. I actually get pumped offa Oh Santa because it's rare that I hear it out and about. Robert thanks for the compliment. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 23:40)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,527) (99,532) by TJ from Norway When I Feel It? Wasn't that song "released" years ago? I am so sure that I got that song on my old computer. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 20:13)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,530) (99,531) by Bobby A from United States I understand the need to be silence, but at least she should post some pictures of being in the studio. I just wonder if she is feeling the pressure from label executives to top Caution. She has to have at least a top 10 hit as the first single. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 19:52)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,525) (99,530) by Edward from USA I think Mariah will release "The Rarities 2" first, and it is a good strategy. In the meantime she should keep on perfecting whatever music she's been working on. At this point we want quality and quantity, since it's been such a long time. How could she have hidden a track like "One Night" for so long? I would also like to hear the alternate version of "All In Your Mind" she let us hear when she opened the vault. I'm loving the silence on Mariah's camp, that's the way she used to be. Let us crave her music. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 18:43)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,525) (99,529) by Bill from the UK Ever since Narada Michael Walden said he found the masters for Lose Control, a song they wrote together for the debut, I've been desperate to hear it. I need more debut vocals in my life. Here We Go Around Again was a true gift from heaven. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 18:29)

Re: Your relationship with the Number Ones, today (99,524) (99,528) by Bill from the UK Always here for a list. Vision of Love - Always play it, and it's just a joyous and perfect as when I first heard it. Perfection. Love Takes Time - I rarely play this but always enjoy it when I do. Someday - One of my jams. I also hate that Mariah hates it. I love all the remixes and play them often. I Don't Wanna Cry - Always skip, never listen to it. Emotions - Love this so much and play it a few times a week. I'll Be There - Always play this as I always play Unplugged. Fantastic performance. Dreamlover - Play at least once a week, love it to death. Hero - Rarely play it, usually skip, but when the mood takes me, I love it. Without You - UK Addition - Love it and always play this. If only for the nostalgia. Fantasy - Album version always, remix version not much. One Sweet Day - Not much, and when I do, it's either the Chucky or Acapella version. Always Be My Baby - Love to death and always play. Honey - As above. My All - Agree that the album, club and rap mixes are all sublime. Heartbreaker - Rarely play either version. Thank God I Found You - As above. Against All Odds - UK Addition - As above. We Belong Together - Play occasionally, always been indifferent to it. Don't Forget About Us - Rarely play it. Touch My Body - As above. All I Want for Christmas Is You - Her best song ever. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 18:27)

Re: Rarities 2 (99,525) (99,527) by Bobby A from United States It will probably happen in the fall. I need to hear When I Feel It, Reaching For The Sky, Skydiving, Where Are You Christmas?, the Bobby Ross Avila song, the remaining Poo Bear songs, Bring It On Home, We're Not Making Love Anymore, and Candy Bling remix. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 18:25)

Re: Your relationship with the Number Ones, today (99,524) (99,526) by Bobby A from United States Great post, Randy. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 18:18)

Rarities 2 (99,525) by Tevin from USA Do you think Mariah will drop a Rarities 2 this year or just stick with her Butterfly Lounge remakes and jam sessions, and drop Rarities 2 next year? What musical eras do you think she will pull songs from to put into Rarities 2? More 90s material or more 2000+ material? (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 17:18)

Your relationship with the Number Ones, today (99,524) by Randy from USA It was quiet and so I thought of this idea, even though you all hate lists and poor Eric has to edit this stuff. But what is your current relationship with each #1? Vision of Love - I only listen to the live early performances these days. Not on any of my playlists so doesn't come up in the car. Love Takes Time - A pleasant surprise when I hear it but don't actually seek it out. Someday - I listen to the video version all the time. I hate that she hates it. I Don't Wanna Cry - I like the Daydream era live performances, other than that I never seek it out. Emotions - Too played out. I skip it when it comes up. I'll Be There - Never play it. Dreamlover - Never play this one either. Hero - I only listen to this with the Never Too Far mashup. Fantasy - I only play the version with both choruses (Bad Boy Mix) but usually skip it. One Sweet Day - I only play this when I feel like singing (it's in my key). Always Be My Baby - Too played out. I skip it when it comes on. Honey - I love the bad boy version and know all of Mase's verse. My All - My favorite number one. Someone here showed it some love. Truthfully I play every version. David Morales Classic Mix, Stay Awhile remix. I love every live performance of it during that era. Heartbreaker - Still love this but I don't play the remix as often. I think Missy's verse is corny and doesn't rhyme. Thank God I Found You - I love all versions and I sing this one constantly as well (it's in my key). We Belong Together - I only like hearing this once in awhile. Fun fact this is the easiest song of hers to play on the keyboard. Once you get past the intro it's literally the same four chords the entire song. Don't Forget About Us - I live for her climax on this. I butcher this one and don't care. It's a pleasant surprise when it comes up on my 2000s playlist. Touch My Body - This is a pleasant surprise when it comes up on my 2000s playlist but it's not a fave. Whooo that was a lot.

Re: Where is everybody? (99,521) (99,523) by Bill from the UK There's not much going on really in "Mariah's World" to fuel conversation. Rarities 2 is needed ASAP. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 07:34)

Re: Caution the last great album (99,520) (99,522) by SM from Citizen of the World I think she has 1 new era left in her. (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 01:07)

Where is everybody? (99,521) by Bobby A from United States From Saturday to Monday, there were only 29 posts. Where is everybody? (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 00:57)

Caution the last great album (99,520) by T from USA I would be okay if Caution represents the last studio album Mariah releases. Going forward if she just "re-imagines" old songs and reissues anniversary editions with Rarities I would be satisfied. (Monday 24 January 2022; 23:28)

Re: My All (99,514) (99,519) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, what a song. It's pure Mariah at her best. I'll always like Mr. Jeter just because he insprired Mariah to write and sing those wonderful songs. (Monday 24 January 2022; 16:32)

Jazz album (99,518) by Bobby A from United States I found David Sanborn's Live jazz album Straight From The Heart this weekend. It really has a nice R&B feel to it produced by Marcus Miller (Luther Vandross). It would have been nice in the 1990s if MC collaborated with David Sanborn and Marcus Miller.
