Re: Just days away (95,717) (95,724) by Bill from the UK Yes yes yes. I'm with you. I am about to explode. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 15:53)

Re: BBMA 2020 (95,723) by Tyler from United States The award has been given out since 2016. I assume it's for people who achieved something noteworthy on the charts during the eligibility period? Mariah had quite the achievement(s) this year with AIWFCIY. Longest climb to #1 ever. First artist with a #1 in 4 separate decades etc. Taylor is the first artist to debut at #1 with an album and single at the same time. Lil Nas X beat the record for longest time spent at #1. I assume Harry Styles and Luke Combs did something noteworthy this year too, but I'm not sure about them. It's definitely not made up for Mariah, but I hope she wins.

Re: Just days away (95,717) (95,722) by Edward from USA You are not alone, you are here with me. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 15:21)

Re: Just days away (95,717) (95,721) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I'm counting too. It's really like the good old days. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 14:37)

Nice time (95,720) by Norman from USA "A cute romance," Mimi says about her relationship with Nick Cannon. Damn. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 12:05)

Re: Chapters (95,715) (95,719) by Bill from the UK Yes that is a great album as well but I prefer the more piano based approached of the first three. FTCGH felt a bit overproduced (Raspberry Swirl being the main culprit). But Playboy Mommy is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. But back to Mariah and to address the call out made against me for Boy (I Need You). Firstly, that made me lol, and secondly, I wish I could say I do listen to it and like it, but I couldn't stand Cam'Ron's version when it came out and my heart sunk when I heard MC was basing her song off his. The high pitched cartoon Boy refrain, the over production, the whispery vocals, the 6 minute length, it's all so unnecessary. When she squeaking through the 9th chorus I'm like (caps) just end already (end caps). It's definitely grouped with Did I Do That, Crapfinity, Why You Mad, and Infamous. Whether it tops that chart though is another matter. I'm just so grateful none of the Nightmare Era songs made it onto any album. What a blemish in an otherwise great discography that would be.

Re: MadTv - Thinning camera (95,676) (95,718) by Terna from Nigeria Ugh. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 11:33)

Just days away (95,717) by TJ from Norway For the first time in ages I'm actually counting days, waiting for the release of her music. I get the 90's vibe again. Feeling like a teenager. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 10:58)

Re: BBMA 2020 (95,713) (95,716) by Will from Australia Billboard I reckon made up the category just to give Mariah an award. She's their icon. I'll be shocked if she doesn't win it. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 07:46)

Re: Chapters (95,700) (95,715) by enwar00 from usa My favorite Tori Amos album is From The Choirgirl Hotel. I don't think I'd be able to pick a favorite song though, too many. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 02:00)

Mariah is everywhere (95,714) by Randy from USA She's doing a sit down with Oprah tomorrow. And she's on [Entertainment Tonight]. This feels like the build up to TEOM. I'm all giddy. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 01:56)

BBMA 2020 (95,713) by Robby from Chicago USA Mariah is nominated for Chart Achievement Award, along with Luke Combs, Lil Nas X, and Harry Styles. Not to demean these guys who are up against her but I am a little confused on the criteria used on this category. Can someone shed light on this, please? Thanks. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 01:20)

Re: Looking In / TMOMC (95,708) (95,712) by Stacey from USA Me too. Looking In is my life's theme song. Such a sad song that really displays how miserable MC was at that time. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 18:36)

The Oprah Conversation (95,711) by Dennis from Miami, FL Wow. Mariah is on The Oprah Conversation. What a great way to promote the book. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 17:32)

The Meaning of Mariah Carey (95,710) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Here is a video everyone should watch, so many hidden gems. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 16:48)

Re: Chapters (95,700) (95,709) by Bill from the UK I really enjoyed the book. It was a bit overly political at times, but her stories of working the bar scene for years was great, and the meanings behind her songs was great. And the audio book was brilliant as she was a great narrator. As for my favourites, her first three albums are pretty much untouchable. I'd have to probably go with Under the Pink, as Pretty Good Year is my favourite song of hers. When it bursts into raging grunge for ten seconds, then dampers down again - it's extraordinarily moving. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 16:19)

Looking In / TMOMC (95,708) by MusicfanJ from Germany It looks like MC will be talking about "Looking in". On her Insta there's a short clip. I can't wait to read the book, I'm more than excited. Right now it feels like I rediscover Mariah again. It's a great feeling. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 11:27)

Re: Snippets (95,698) (95,707) by Bobby A from United States Wow Edward. I love your pic. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 10:44)

Re: Skip/repeat (95,694) (95,706) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Okay, the Someday part - the performance was awesome, but I always go for the song I like the least for the skip part. Which also means that if I don't have any skips, every track, even the ones I'm not too fond of, still brings something special to the tracklisting for me. The Boy (I Need You) part - yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Whatever you say. I still feel like part of you secretly likes it - that subconsciously you know it's not the worst song on the album, let alone ever, but that since you have so gone out of your way on this board to declare your supposed disdain for it that you likely realized there's no turning back. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 08:43)

Re: Snippets (95,698) (95,705) by Bill from the UK Love the pic. Here We Go Around Again was the best for me. It sounded like I Want You Back by the Jackson 5. Mariah's heavenly 1990 voice. Just wow. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 06:11)

Re: Snippets (95,698) (95,703) by 123 from USA Hey Edward. I heard the snippets and can share my thoughts. Spoiler alert for those that want to hear the album fresh. I Pray sounds good from what I heard. This was one I had always wanted to hear. I'm told Paul was given Mariah's vocal reference and never released it. HWGRA - The production sounds dated and the hook didn't grab me. The vocal is like a blast from the past, but from what I heard, wasn't a song I would miss hearing again. The same with Last Night, as both these songs have a Motown/Jackson 5 sound. Hook didn't grab me either and from what I heard wouldn't have fit Daydream, but I will reserve full judgement when I hear the tracks in their entirety. Loverboy - Lambs will be divided on this one, as it's the most poppy sounding lead uptempo single of her career versus the more r&b, bouncy version we got. It cut off before the vocal really started to kick in. Cool On You - A super short clip but sounded like a sure fire hit. Makes sense as the approach for E=MC2 was to only make singles and no album tracks. I heard a clip of Can You Hear Me but to me, Out On My Own sounded better because of the tone she was serving during the Rainbow era. The ballads will be the highlights from what I heard and for anyone wanting classic 90s Mariah ballads. This is your album. I didn't hear Mesmerized as the clips were taken down by the time I tried to get to that one. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 04:25)

The Meaning of Mariah - first week sales (95,702) by Tyler from USA I've followed Mariah's first week sales ever since I was a lamb back in 96. That said, I have no idea what we should expect for first week book sales. I've read that Jessica Simpson sold 500k since it's original release earlier this year. I remember she did a huge promotional push pretty similar to an album release. I realized with Covid things are different but very interesting to see little promotion planned for this book. The only ones that are aware the book is coming out are fans. Also, there aren't any leaks which is great but odd. It's released in less then a week and we have no content around the Jeter or Nick Cannon stories. Typically leak stories adds hype to a book release. That said, I wonder if Mariah is even concerned with topping the book charts. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 03:50)

Re: New documentary (95,696) (95,701) by 123 from USA I watched this one and meant to post it. It's really good. They chronicle all of her interviews in what appear to be chronological order from her debut up until Music Box. It's almost like going back to 1990 and watching her rise to become one of the biggest artists of all time. I usually fast forward the performances but some of them in this documentary have audio from interviews woven it. It's worth watching and very well done. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 03:37)

Re: Chapters (95,683) (95,700) by Korey2 from United Stated How was Tori’s book? I enjoy her too Mr. What’s your favorite Tori album/single? (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 03:04)
