Re: MadTv - Thinning camera (95,672) (95,676) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Watched the whole thing waiting for a Mariah reference. I must have blinked in the wrong place. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 04:38)

Outfitters Rainbow (95,675) by Bobby A from United States I ordered Rainbow from Urban Outfitters. I am hoping that I get the color blue. I don't understand why they didn't give an option to choose the color that you want. (Monday 21 September 2020; 22:14)

Re: Robert Anthony aha moments (95,670) (95,674) by Bobby A from United States Gee, I am getting ready for my day off next Monday and a box of tissue. I really feel the All That Glitters section is going to be sad. (Monday 21 September 2020; 21:54)

Re: Bill from the UK is gorgeous (95,671) (95,673) by Bobby A from United States Newcomer. Lol. Welcome back Jonathan. Just a joke going on with Bill. (Monday 21 September 2020; 21:33)

MadTv - Thinning camera (95,672) by Terna from Nigeria How did I not see this before? The blatant disrespect. It's no wonder the show ended abruptly. They were savage, no one was safe. Haha. I know she had something to do with that. (Monday 21 September 2020; 21:29)

Bill from the UK is gorgeous (95,671) by Jonathan from South Africa I've not been on this message board in over two years and I come on today and see this gorgeous face for the first time. Ooh I think I'm in love. Lol. Oh and I really love Out Here on My Own. (Monday 21 September 2020; 19:42)

Robert Anthony aha moments (95,670) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) As far as aha moments I am sure that she will discuss many of those topics in the book in great detail, and a lot of things will make sense. As far as Nick is concerned songs on MIAM like Cry, Faded, Camouflage, are some detailed moments to the end of their marriage, and the pain that M was in during the time, and I do believe she will speak on certain things in regards to her, and Nick but I think that she is going to keep it light, and respectful for the sake of Roc and Roe, but we will have to wait, and see.

Re: MC's masters (95,666) (95,669) by Chicago Lamb from USA To my knowledge, after reading various reports on it throughout the years, that she in fact does own her masters. I remember her saying it in an interview, just can't [cite] the article. (Monday 21 September 2020; 13:49)

Still Out Here On My Own (95,668) by Bill from the UK This song is all I have played since it was released. It has been on non-stop repeat. My poor neighbours. It's got a whole other level to it when it's 2am and you're on the last of a bottle of red. Thank you Mariah for this gift. (Monday 21 September 2020; 09:20)

To me, help me through (95,667) by Will from Australia There's a section in OHOMO that sounds exactly like her current voice. From 1:16 to 1:24 where she sings - to me, help me through, help me need you. It's kinda sad to go back to 2000 and think that just that small little section of whispery delivery would become her main vocal capacity. The song is still breaking my heart with each listen when I think of Mariah recording it and how topsy turvey her life would have been at that time. She must have been questioning everything going on around her. (Sunday 20 September 2020; 21:42)

MC's masters (95,666) by Bobby A from United States I did a Google search if MC owns her masters. One website says that she only owns Glitter. Another says she has owned all of her Columbia masters since re-negotiating her deal which Epic. Does anybody know? (Sunday 20 September 2020; 17:36)

TMOMC aha moments (95,665) by Bobby A from United States I wonder how many aha moments will we have full insight into when reading The Meaning of Mariah Carey. I am sure we will find out more as to how MC's marriage to Tommy was so traumatizing. I watched a video of Irv Gotti talking about how Tommy called him up wanting to use JLo to hurt MC. I can see why now she had a breakdown after filming Glitter. Tommy was out to destroy MC. If I was MC, I would want to forget the whole Glitter era too. Also, I would love to know what tough questions MC had to answer to make her want to end her marriage to Nick. And I would love to know what MC thought of LA Reid during the TEOM and E=MC2 eras. I am sure he gave her some words of wisdom during the making of those two albums. I am looking forward to reading TMOMC and listening to The Rarities. (Sunday 20 September 2020; 14:42)

Re: Mariah's finally at peace (95,663) (95,664) by BFF from United States My theory about her lack of appreciation for her earlier work was that it was due to combination of the marriage to Tommy, journalists referring to her as a "white girl who sings black", not being allowed to incorporate hip-hop like she wanted to earlier on songs like "Dreamlover", and the situation at Sony post-divorce from Tommy. She was honestly trapped into a dynamic by these journalists who were so obsessed with her racial identity. It forced her into an awful position of constantly having to prove how "down" she was. There were certain collaborations that she did during the Rainbow/All That Glitters/Glitter era that I think came from that place of wanting to prove herself (i.e. having so many guest appearances on the "Rainbow" and "Glitter" albums). Some of them worked really well but others just seemed so forced. And it sounds like this dynamic triggered all kinds of terrible memories from her childhood and adolescence, things that she probably wanted to leave behind. It has always bothered me because it creates these retrograde racialist dichotomies around music, and it doesn't allow Mariah to be a multifaceted artist or human being. It's as if music critics had never heard of artists like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, et cetera - all of whom sang soul/R&B ballads and love songs very much like the ones Mariah was writing. I became a fan during the "Butterfly" era, and I think the album really represents a fantastic blend of everything that makes Mariah great. I love ballad Mariah. I love hip-hop Mariah. I love songs like "Make It Happen", "Emotions", et cetera that are more gospel, house, and disco influenced. I love the house remixes she does. I love it when she brings her vulnerability and sweetness to covers of songs like "I'll Be There" or "Without You". (Sunday 20 September 2020; 13:05)

Mariah's finally at peace (95,663) by Tyler from USA I believe writing the memoir has resulted in Mariah finally being at peace with her current voice which has allowed her to appreciate her previous work. For years I think Mariah has downplayed her previous records because she knew she could never replicate. Over the last two years Mariah has released vocal recordings such as the St John concert and soon to be Tokyo Dome. She never would have done this previously as it drastically shows the differences in her voice over the years. It's great to finally see Mariah appreciating her peaks and not feeling intimated if she doesn't sound the same. Sounds weird but I actually think Mariah is finally a lamb of younger Mariah. We don't get sad when we watch old Michael Jordan clips. We realize there will never be anyone like him but understand things change and we get older. That said, based off Caution MC still has so much to share with us. (Sunday 20 September 2020; 06:29)

OHOMO (95,662) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This cover is absolutely perfect. Mariah is one of few artists who know how to make a cover. She took this song to a level beyond expectations. All I can say after each listen is wow job well done. (Sunday 20 September 2020; 05:05)

Re: OHOMO (95,654) (95,661) by Myles from CT, USA Andrew the way you write about Mariah is like poetry. Beautiful. Made me tear up. And I know exactly what you mean. (Sunday 20 September 2020; 03:23)

Re: OHOMO (95,657) (95,660) by Mara from United States Perfectly said Musti. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 23:18)

Treacle (95,659) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Gobsmacked. The webmaster of the old Mariahcareyuk.com - I met him outside The Dorchester in 2002. Shocked. Supremely nice guy. Wow. How wonderful life was then. How funny life is now. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 23:11)

Re: Best cover? (95,646) (95,658) by Will from Australia I don't think Mariah has ever connected with a song she's covered like she does with OHOMO. Everything about it resonates like they're her own lyrics, and it's her story. Like Looking In or Outside. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 22:38)

Re: OHOMO (95,654) (95,657) by Musti from UK I understand this. I've been crying for 2 days listening to this song. The lyrics are mind-blowing combined with her vocals. But it's more than that. It feels like not seeing your mother or older sister for 20 years and all of a sudden she reappears sounding exactly like she did 20 years ago. This is partially why I'm brokenhearted. I miss the voice. And I miss how I related her glorious voice to my life story. It won't come back, and neither will those moments where I could've changed things. This song is such an unexpected freak. I'm sure the entire album will be. I'm kinda grateful she kept this from us. What a revival of my love for endless love for her. Thank you for providing me with 30 years of incredible music. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 21:18)

Re: Out Here On My Own on repeat (95,653) (95,656) by Bill from the UK Even her voice breaking slightly on the last "help me" is so incredibly moving. And I'm glad she didn't use a high note, it doesn't even need it. The emotion in this song is overwhelming. I just can't believe this didn't make it onto Glitter but Want You did. It is honestly one of her best remakes and best songs. And to think, the album has unused songs from the debut, Emotions, Music Box and Daydream. Lord thank you. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 20:42)
