Re: Wish for MC30 (97,203) (97,207) by Anonymous from USA I wish Mariah's team hadn't skipped over Glitter and that entire project. That's actually one of my favorite albums, I mean soundtracks. I wish for all the fabulous remixes and rare tracks and even the movie that won the Razzie award for 2001. I constantly look fir it to be available on iTunes but so far no such luck, I'll just have to keep popping the DVD in until the digital copy comes out. I hope she does something special on the 20th Anniversary of Glitter. Fingers crossed. By the way, the Cameo version is far superior than the Firecracker version, just saying.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,205) (97,206) by Anonymous from USA I really don't care if Mariah gets another #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Yes, it would be nice to see but it is not necessary at this point. She has been in the industry for 30 years or so and she has influenced countless acts out there, women and male artists the same. I hear newer artists and can pick up the style where she was the influence. She has nothing left to prove. Having said that, I do believe she has a few more hits to write, collaborations or not, that will catapult her back to the top. I will support her music always because she's always gonna be my favorite singer and songwriter and #1 on my playlist. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 22:06)

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,204) (97,205) by Leo from LAMBville "If you want to say something would sound good that you would enjoy that is different" - is what I wrote. If you think something would sound good, by all means let us all have the imagination to feel one way or another. If she worked with Drake and it sounded great but didn't chart to #1 people would still talk crap about it. I called it "rude" and your rebuttal is that I'm aggressive and a comparison to "dandelion". Mariah is a relevant legacy artist, I'm sure a duets project is eventually coming. The insistence on gaining another #1 is the disdain I have. And note it wasn't to shade any one person, it was the topic that feeling of Mariah needs a #1 to still be great. It's disheartening.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,200) (97,204) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Child you need to calm down. It's a wish, not a command. If you don't agree with it just say so, there's no need to get aggressive. Also just because you don't care if she has a #1 or not, doesn't mean everyone has to feel that way. Jeez. I see we have another Dandelion here, the oldies on this forum will remember that individual. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 20:09)

Wish for MC30 (97,203) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't about you all but I used to thoroughly enjoy (and still do) watching behind the scenes of MV. I wish Mariah would've released some BTS if some of her videos along with the MC30 releases. Example for TEOM I know for sure she has BTS footage for ILT, GYN and SS (as either VH-1) aired it. I read somewhere BTS of WBT was also shot but I don't think it was ever released. So it would've been nice to see some of those. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 20:03)

Re: Drake and Ariana (97,199) (97,202) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True, it's just sad that there's so much potential and I'm sure many artists would love to collaborate with Mariah if only she'd give them the green signal but she just chooses to not collaborate with bigger artist because maybe she doesn't want to get a #1 because of a hot collaboration and just wants it on her own merit but times have changed, and I wish Mariah would for once give it a try. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 19:47)

Re: Charmbracelet EPs (97,195) (97,201) by TJ from Norway Me too. That's why I hope she releases something that we have never seen or heard before. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 19:34)

I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,200) by Leo from LAMBville I wish these "lambs" would stop insinuating that Mariah needs to work with this or that person like she needs a savior. Mariah has fought the majority of her career to control her music. Buy it or don't, stream it or don't, promote it or shut up! Last time I checked she wrote 18 #1 songs on the Hot 100, last thing she needs is inexperienced coattail riders telling her to work with a popular artist. Mariah launches artists she doesn't need anyone to make a hit record. 30 years later she is still relevant. Keep it moving! If you want to say something would sound good that you would enjoy that is different, but to insist she needs to get another #1 Hot 100 and needs the assistance of another act is just plain out rude. Billboard is slowly becoming obsolete anyway, streaming charts are where things have been heading for some time. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 19:22)

Re: Drake and Ariana (97,198) (97,199) by T from USA It's never going to happen. She almost had Notorious BIG on Honey Remix too. Sometimes these things just slip through cracks and we are left with what if. If he collaborated with Ariana then Mariah will want to find a fresh new rapper to hit up as she will try and avoid comparisons at all costs. Her Drake collaboration came and went with GTFO. That was the one. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 17:49)

Drake and Ariana (97,198) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Rumor has it that Drake and Ariana are collaborating on a song. That will be a sure fire #1, no stopping that since they're both huge on streaming. I don't get why Mariah still doesn't collaborate with Drake. He's clearly a fan because he used her sample of Emotions, then he randomly posts her in his stories and posted a photo of her with his dad. She I guess likes him too since she allowed him to use her song. Just get on with it Mariah. Let's get that 20th #1. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 15:59)

Re: Honestly Eric (97,194) (97,197) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Joking aside, we see on the news the ongoing unrest on the streets of the Netherlands and hope you stay safe and sound. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 10:34)

Re: Charmbracelet EPs (97,195) (97,196) by enwar00 from usa Wow. How? Import CDs? (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 05:57)

Re: Charmbracelet EPs (97,191) (97,195) by Stacey from USA I've had all these remixes for years. I collected her CDs for years. That's probably why none of the #MC30 releases have been a surprise to me, lol. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 00:24)

Honestly Eric (97,194) by Andrew from the United Kingdom The hours you've spent correcting my messages. But you won't change "life" to "live"? You're getting lazy in your old age. (Monday 25 January 2021; 09:54)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,188) (97,193) by Andrew from the United Kingdom These MC30 releases feel a little... passionless. Feel like she wants to skip to Emancipation. Not including live performances and television performances is a mistake. Including them makes it feel like a representation of a project or an era. This Charmbracelet release feels like Mariah sat at home and nodded to someone whilst sipping Caymus. (Monday 25 January 2021; 09:48)

Re: Charmbracelet EPs (97,191) (97,192) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "I'm in love. And I am shocked." Sound like my ex. (Monday 25 January 2021; 09:44)

Charmbracelet EPs (97,191) by enwar00 from usa I'm in love. And I am shocked. This was the first era where no CD maxi single with remixes was released in the States, so I only knew the Through The Rain Hex Hector/Mac Quayle radio edit from the single and The Remixes. I heard the Street Mix of Boy once on YouTube and a remix of BOTH a few times in the club drunk years ago. So while I understand people's qualms with a few missing remixes and instrumentals, for me this is a plethora of fresh and inventive new mixes that I had no idea even existed, and so far they've far exceeded my expectations. This is especially surprising since Charmbracelet is one of my least favorite MC albums, and now I can't help but think that era could have felt completely different if handled differently. Irregardless I'm so excited having this experience as the first MC30 release of the year after the Christmas schtick started to feel stale to me last month. First I listened to I Only Wanted EP yesterday, which is good and reminds me of both the Peter Rauhofer mix of WBT and the Classic Club Mix of Honey. Next I listened to The One EP, and I instantly loved the Wildlife Club Mix. That may be my favorite off these EPs so far. Then I listened to the Boy EP and I must say I enjoy all of the different rhythmic beats with each remix. The Panjabi one sticks out but I like them all. I listened to these repeatedly then tonight heard the epic, twelve minute full Hex Hector/Mac Quale Club Mix of TTR for the first time ever. What a thrill. I don't think the edit does it justice. Overall I'm very impressed so far and excited to hear the rest of the Through The Rain EP before I even get to Bringin' on the Heartbreak. These EPs may end up ranking higher than the Butterfly ones for me, we'll see. (Sunday 24 January 2021; 08:35)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,184) (97,190) by Justin from United States MC has always verbalized her dislike of the film production and certain decisions, not the soundtrack. She has even defended its commercial performance by reminding people it's a soundtrack and, thus, should not be compared to a studio album. Side note: I wish I could have seen Sweet, Sweet Fantasy and her performing Loverboy. She has something up her sleeve. I wouldn't read too much into it, considering she is more open to talking about Glitter than ever before. There's obviously some strategy to this. (Sunday 24 January 2021; 07:51)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,186) (97,189) by Justin from United States I check this site daily and finally created an account to respond. The most critical remix of HATEU is the one sampling "at night, I think of you..." with Gucci Maine. Even non-Lambs get down with this, whereas her standard dub mixes are not as universally friendly (and IMO, do not age well). And hello from Texas. Been a lamb since Music Box and seen Mariah a bunch of times - Today Show for Memoirs, Caution in Houston, Beacon Theatre, even with Lionel in Dallas - so happy to be here, dahlings. (Sunday 24 January 2021; 07:44)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,187) (97,188) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you're talking about the BOTH "live" version that was actually a part of the original EP back in the day. It's a little pointless I agree but she probably just included it because she's just releasing what was on the original EP. (Sunday 24 January 2021; 04:10)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,186) (97,187) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Too much is being made of Mariah skipping Glitter. I think she will do something big for it in September. What is an insult is releasing a single format as "live" that is just clapping over the original track. There are no live performances from the Charmbracelet era to include? A bit like the "live" version of O Holy Night, this was another eye-roll to some of the bullshit she puts into the public sphere. Never learns. (Saturday 23 January 2021; 21:40)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,185) (97,186) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True, I think she thought that Glitter anniversary is just a few months away so she can release all the Glitter related stuff at that point. For her future releases for the next few eras I do hope she releases some unreleased stuff. It's more than likely she won't because in the past eras for MC30 she didn't. But I really would like to hear the Angels Advocate Remixes. I especially hope she releases the H.A.T.E.U. So So Def remix that leaked during the era. It's such a bop, I love it. Then the unreleased #Beautiful remix and the video for the remix (the one where she broke her arm). If I'm not mistaken she said she went back from the hospital to finish filming it. (Saturday 23 January 2021; 16:13)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,182) (97,185) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines That's the only reason I'm holding on to for now. Other than her personal feelings about the Glitter era, it's weird for her to skip the album especially considering she owns the masters to her recordings for that period. A 20th anniversary acknowledgement and EP shower later this year would be awesome. (Saturday 23 January 2021; 14:33)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,183) (97,184) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I mean what else would she have done? Ignore the fact that her fans care to get her decades old soundtrack (that almost ended her career) charting to give it the glory it deserves? Wouldn't people then call her out for being ungrateful? Wouldn't her fans feel let down for their efforts? Also Mariah from what I gather seems to be quite insecure (despite being a superstar) and constantly craves validation, so I'm sure this gesture by the fans lead her to feel important and loved. I don't think her joy/surprise was disingenuous. It wasn't a ploy in my opinion for the press. It was just fan devotion that went viral. And since Glitter was a source of many Mariah spoofs and disses, when it started going viral, it got everyone talking about it. (Saturday 23 January 2021; 05:25)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,182) (97,183) by cBerr from Canada Yes, I see now that when I was copying and pasting to reorganize my post, I left out the word "acknowledging". I meant to say her acknowledgement of the movement wasn't sincere. It was just a convenient moment in time for the press. (Friday 22 January 2021; 23:54)
