Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,560) (98,561) by Bobby A from United States Wow. Her vocals are insane here. Love Takes Time is my highlight. Thank you Billy. (Sunday 29 August 2021; 22:15)

Music Box tour footage NYC (98,560) by Bill from the UK Hi all, the entire NYC concert footage from the Music Box tour (amateur) is on YouTube. (Sunday 29 August 2021; 13:52)

Re: Remixes that surpass the original (98,539) (98,559) by Tijl from Belgium The Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Club Remix for "Touch My Body" is a banger. Check it out. (Sunday 29 August 2021; 10:29)

Re: Mariah "live" (98,557) (98,558) by Musti from UK Thank you for sharing this. I'm stunned. This person truly understands not only her musicality but also her voice. The placement of the rasp is incredible. Lowering the key was very smart too, as this is what she probably would've done. Outside is a very special song for me. I remember buying Butterfly and having this song on repeat for months. It helped me a lot with coming to terms with being gay. It's strange but amazing to hear it with "fresh" vocals.

Mariah "live" (98,557) by Lee from UK I do not know if these have been posted here before but there is a YouTube account which posts some amazing Mariah audios. They usually post acapella or stripped down versions of songs using the original studio stems of Mariah's songs. They have begun posting "live" versions of songs Mariah has not performed live before. Obviously they are intended for entertainment purposes only but they are so realistic with 'live' instrumentation, added notes, additional rasp. This "live" version of Outside is awesome. Whoever made this knows Mariah's nuances very well and is obviously a fan of Mariah's live vocals. (Saturday 28 August 2021; 09:53)

Re: Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,554) (98,556) by 123 from USA I disagree that she is a bad actress. She's good when she isn't playing herself or some version of her and when required to take direction. She's used to having control, and when she does, the results suck, hence that horrible Hallmark movie. She was amazing in Wise Girls. I didn't see Mariah Carey when she played Rachel. I would love another gritty role as a supporting character. A comedy would be great but only if she had 0% control. (Saturday 28 August 2021; 00:26)

Ex-Factor (98,555) by Billy from Greece It's only a snippet (albeit sweet) from the Rainbow tour but still it sounds so good hearing Mariah on my favorite Lauryn Hill track. (Friday 27 August 2021; 09:41)

Re: Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,551) (98,554) by Nikki from usa I agree. MC would be great in a rom com. Her comedy was everything in WiseGirls. (Friday 27 August 2021; 00:12)

Re: Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,552) (98,553) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was going to write this too. I love Mariah, I love Ryan. I hope they can at some point collaborate on something but Mariah can't act. She's a legendary musician, singer, song writer, producer, diva and a queen but acting isn't something she's good at. She gets stiff and self conscious infront of the camera. Maybe she can have Ryan feature on her Christmas special or a music video but a full length movie, no to that. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 20:46)

Re: Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,551) (98,552) by TJ from Norway No. Mariah can't act. Period. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 17:34)

Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,551) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia It's about time for Mariah to act in a high budget romantic comedy movie with Ryan Reynolds. Mariah can sing the soundtrack too. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 12:39)

Re: Post Malone (98,548) (98,550) by Bobby A from United States I understand, but MC described it like Post Malone would be singing it like Daniel Moore III has done it on demo. He has a good singing voice. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 04:51)

MC & RR (98,549) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I really like the friendships that Mariah is developing in the "Cool Kids Club". I notice her, Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington and Jennifer Aniston have a fair amount of interaction on instagram, and now her and Ryan Reynolds seem to be good mates. Nice to see her having a laugh. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 02:52)

Re: Post Malone (98,545) (98,548) by Terna from Nigeria At this point, I'm not looking forward to any more rap collaborations. At this point, that rap thingy is so tired. It is time for Mariah to do something out of the box. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 00:41)

Article: Mariah Carey's "Somewhat Loved" reaches top 10 (98,547) by Bill from the UK For a moment I was like, wow, Billboard Top 10 for Somewhat Loved, how surprising, yet delightful. Then it turns out it's the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B Featured Female Artists Over 50 Who Have Twins chart and carried on with my life. (Wednesday 25 August 2021; 19:28)

(98,546) by Ricardo from New Zealand Um someone anyone just repeats now lol. (Tuesday 24 August 2021; 09:15)

Post Malone (98,545) by Bobby A from United States I listened again to MC's last Twitter Spaces chat. She mentioned that she has Post Malone in mind to duet on this special Christmas song that she has written with Daniel Moore III. I could see Post Malone on the song adding a dreamy rapper feel to it. She kind of described the song that would perfectly for his voice. Maybe I Fall Apart meets When Christmas Comes. I can see the video now with MC and Post Malone dressed in red, white and gold set in Aspen. (Monday 23 August 2021; 02:18)

Re: Glitter 20th anniversary (98,541) (98,544) by Bobby A from United States I believe that several big MC30 items, special projects and a Christmas project will be available in October in her store. MC gave us some special moments last year and she is going to do it again this year. (Monday 23 August 2021; 02:07)

Re: Remixes that surpass the original (98,540) (98,543) by Bill from the UK Ah yes, the Sweet A Capella of One Sweet Day is gorgeous, I completely forgot about that one. Definitely better than the original. Adds a whole new dimension. And yep, agree with the Bonita mix of DYKWYGT. I also love the Bossa Nova of Butterfly, because it's so unique in her remix catalogue (even though it's not technically a bossa nova lol, but close enough), but it's tough to beat the original. (Sunday 22 August 2021; 21:23)

Re: Glitter 20th anniversary (98,541) (98,542) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes I always thought "Turn you loose" should be recorded by MC. I still love Glitter, great album, great soundtrack. (Sunday 22 August 2021; 17:21)

Glitter 20th anniversary (98,541) by Anonymous from United States I'm thinking back to how Mariah skipped the "Glitter" album during the MC30 roll out. I wonder if she's planning something for the 20th anniversary of the album release (9/11). It would be nice to have the "Loverboy" club remixes available for streaming. I know there were remixes for "Never too Far/Hero" Medley as well. I'd personally love to hear a Mariah-only recording of that song "Turn You Loose", which is featured in the opening scene with Billie and her mother. (Sunday 22 August 2021; 14:52)

Re: Remixes that surpass the original (98,539) (98,540) by Anonymous from United States "Fly Away" (Butterfly Reprise) (Def B' Fly Club Mix), "Always Be My Baby" (Always Club Mix), "One Sweet Day" (Sweet A Capella), "My All/Stay Awhile" (So So Def Remix), and "Any Time You Need a Friend" (Boriqua Tribe Mix) & (Soul Convention Mix), and "Do You Know Where You're Going To" (Mariah Bonita Club) are just a few of my favorites. I'm with you on Fantasy. Although I like the ODB version, I think I prefer the original mix. There were a few popular songs around that time that utilized the Tom Tom Club sample, but I think Mariah utilized it the best. Unfortunately, remix quality (and general quality of output) went downhill after "Glitter". Happy that Mariah had the major comeback with "The Emancipation of Mimi", but I find that album to be overrated. The songs outside of the singles were hit-or-miss for me. "Me I Am Mariah" is my favorite post-Sony album of hers but still don't think it provided much of anything in the way of remixes. (Sunday 22 August 2021; 14:41)

Remixes that surpass the original (98,539) by Bill from the UK I've been listening to my maxi singles lately and really do believe there have been moments in MC's career where a remix has far outdone the original album version. The Jackswing mix of Someday is far more organic and sparse sounding than the overproduced album version in my opinion. I will also never tire of the Def Club Mix of Dreamlover, though I adore the original of course, the remix ushered in all those that would follow. I feel torn about the original Fantasy (pure ear candy) and the ODB remix. Both are Goliaths, but the original probably just edges it out in my view. Again, I love AYNAF but the C&C Club Mix has some of the best, most free sounding vocals Mariah has ever delivered. Her scatting at the end as her upper register swirls around in the background is phenomenal. Another no brainer is the Pure Imagination remix of I Still Believe. The original is nice but Mariah turns it into a whole new song with only the title as it's similarity. The Willy Wonka sample is inspired. Post-Sony not much to write home about remix wise as she rarely did anything she hadn't done better before. The only ones I like as the "No Rap" edits that remove JD's relentless bleating and interruptions. It's like just shut up. For a change. Have I missed anything obvious?

Re: Aaliyah 20 - August 25th (98,535) (98,538) by Terna from Nigeria That's so heartbreaking. I recall the "More Than a Woman" video dropped after her death and I liked it so much more than "Rock The Boat". (Saturday 21 August 2021; 20:25)

Re: Aaliyah 20 - August 25th (98,535) (98,537) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Absolutely; apparently Aaliyah really believed in Rock the Boat as a single and really pushed hard to get it released before MTAW because she thought it communicated more of the vibe of the red album, it was unique and it would be a great end of summer jam; where as MTAW was musically more similar to the first single We Need a Resolution. The label gave it to her because of how impressed they were with that final album, and trusted her judgement when it came to the single choices (something few have trusted Mariah with for some reason). Heartbreaking. (Friday 20 August 2021; 18:47)
