Happy and sad (95,631) by Edward from USA I love Mariah's rendition of OHOMO. Definitely reminds me of her cover of "Help Me Make It". I hope she has many of these type of vocals in the vault. I'm sad because this song is a reminder of the current state of her voice. I love Caution, but missed the belting, and nuances in her voice of years past. In my mind I'm already placing "Help Me Make It" and "Randy's Theme" in my own version of "The Rarities". (Friday 18 September 2020; 23:29)

Re: Play count (95,627) (95,630) by Edward from USA Bill loves Mariah so much that he was listening to OHOMO on his six computers, his tablet and his personal and work cellphones all at once. He was also counting all Robert-Anthony's devices. So, yes, it's possible. (Friday 18 September 2020; 23:18)

Re: Play count (95,622) (95,627) by Robby from Chicago USA Bill, I am sure that you were just joking with the almost 58K play count as this is impossible from a math standpoint. That is equivalent to 120.56 days of playing it non-stop hahaha. (Friday 18 September 2020; 22:32)

Re: OHOMO (95,625) (95,626) by Norman from USA Lol, I was typing out the acronym last night, too. But I decided to leave that for someone else to post first. Do you need a co-counsel for that suit? I'm game. (Friday 18 September 2020; 22:28)

OHOMO (95,625) by Brad from USA Interesting acronym hmmm? I'm on my way to the US District Court for the Second Circuit to file an indictment against whoever kept this absolute jewel of a song from us for over twenty years. Criminal. SMH. (Friday 18 September 2020; 22:11)

Out Here On My Own (95,624) by Robby from Chicago USA I waited until it was 11:01PM here in Chicago last night just to hear the full song (my bed time is usually around 10PM). It was more than worth the wait. And then I cried after hearing it. That's all I can say as there is not much to say. Bravo MC. I will be forever a fan, come hell or high water.

Re: Out Here On My Own (95,620) (95,621) by Licia from USA Out Here on My Own is one of my favorite songs from Fame. Mariah definitely did it justice. This is one of the best surprises for me. (Friday 18 September 2020; 20:02)

Out Here On My Own (95,620) by Hector from Mexico Great cover. Fantastic vocals. Much better than the original. I have it on repeat. (Friday 18 September 2020; 19:44)

Re: Butterfly turns 23 - my dissertation (95,571) (95,619) by HoneyLamb from Germany Thanks for highlighting the missing strings in the Bad Boys Remix. I decided to merge both versions into one, so that you have the Bad Boys Remix with the strings in the chorus 1 and 3 (not in the 2nd one as this one then goes directly into Rap). If contact me at andante.comodo@yahoo.com, I would be more than happy to send it to you. (Friday 18 September 2020; 19:41)

Out Here On My Own (95,618) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I got goosebumps the first time I heard it. What a beautiful cover. It is so wonderful to listen to how Mariah's voice was 20 years ago. I became a fan when she released the Butterfly album, and my love for Mariah increased wirh #1's, Rainbow and Glitter, hey, when she released Glitter I felt I was the only fan in Norway. So the tone and quality of her voice on OHOMO is the tone I fell in love with. I actually felt a bit sad when I listened to it the first time, because Mariah's voice is so much richer and she can hit high notes she just can't hit nowadays, and Mariah's present voice is so nasal compared to 2000. Oh well, I going to enjoy this song for quite some time, I think it's a new favourite. (Friday 18 September 2020; 18:40)

Out Here On My Own (95,617) by Mara from United States I was brought to tears hearing that lush full tone in her voice. Her delivery was amazing and I can't believe she kept this hidden for 20 years. I can't tell you what it did for me to hear new vocals from Mariah from years ago. I got the same excitement and chills I always had every fall from her amazing album releases. She shines on songs and lyrics like these. Mariah and just a piano is always my favorite. She definitely did Irene Cara justice. Incredibly sad song but astonishingly beautiful and quite simply so Mariah at the same time. I would love to see her get award recognition for this album too if it was allowed.

That’s what I’m talking about (Out Here On My Own) (95,616) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I found the use of the sample in Save The Day to be disjointed and messy. Even though I love Killing Me Softly. Out Here On My Own is gorgeous. I loved it on first listen. (Friday 18 September 2020; 17:12)

Re: Out Here On My Own (95,600) (95,615) by Terna from Nigeria You're welcome. I actually just heard Mariah's cover in full and I kinda like it, probably because I already know the song and like it but also acknowledge that it doesn't even come close to the original version, it lacks the conviction, energy and build up (Mariah's version also seems slower in tempo) especially towards the end and that's ok because how do you cover and match the original introduction of this song by a stellar vocalist like Irene Cara in a once in a lifetime performance. (Friday 18 September 2020; 17:01)

Out here on my own (95,613) (95,614) by ADAM from USA Head is blown out of the water. I can't believe she kept this hidden for so many years. Beautiful tone and not overdone. Could have fit perfectly with Glitter. I see why she may have left it out of the movie as Reflections was Bille's piano moment. However, the lyrics and vocal performance should have warranted that this song be on the soundtrack or as a bonus side. Easily, this song is one of Mariah's best songs she's sung. So perfect and beautiful. Such a joy to receive especially nowadays. Thank you Mariah for feeding the lambs. We don't deserve you. (Friday 18 September 2020; 15:12)

Out here on my own (95,613) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) "Out here on my own" I do not understand why this brilliance was tucked away for so long. However better to receive, then get nothing at all. This is how a cover song should be done. Mariah gave power, vulnerability, and full voice. This was beautiful, and raw. All I can say is Mariah [you're] truly one of a kind. This cover is another special one, she paid homage, and still made it her own and damn it she took to another level like only Mariah can. This is the brilliance that makes Mariah, and her talent unmatched. (Friday 18 September 2020; 14:20)

Out Here On My Own (95,612) by BFF from United States This is a really great cover, and I am not surprised that it was recorded for "All That Glitters". It fits perfectly with the theme of the film. This is just another indication of how watered down the final product became from what Mariah and Cheryl West originally envisioned. She really worked hard on this project for so many years, and I can't imagine how humiliating it must have been to go through the motions of promoting the watered down "Glitter" film and soundtrack in 2001. Really interested to read all about what happened in the memoir. Hopefully she is planning something interesting for the 20th anniversary of "Glitter". I really would love to hear that collaboration with Prince and a studio version of "Lillie's Blues". (Friday 18 September 2020; 13:53)

Re: Out Here On My Own (95,603) (95,611) by Shezz from Pk Gut wrenching and so powerfully beautiful like only Mariah can do. I guess they decided they didn't want Billie to sing an already famous 80's song as if it was her's. I don't know if I'm explaining myself properly. I'd still love to know why it was kept off the soundtrack, would have been a closer to rival EFA for sure. I wonder if she and the label would be willing to promote a song recorded 20 years ago.

Re: Out Here On My Own (95,598) (95,610) by Bobby A from United States Edward, you are going to make me laugh now and cry later. Lol. (Friday 18 September 2020; 12:18)

Out Here On My Own (95,609) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I must have listened to this at least 50 times. It has always been one of my favourite songs, but the way Mariah does it - it's utterly spellbinding. Good work MC. (Friday 18 September 2020; 11:52)

Re: Out here loving this (95,606) (95,608) by Norman from USA Brokenhearted hits the nail on the head. (Friday 18 September 2020; 11:41)

Re: Mariah's insta story (95,604) (95,607) by Musti from UK I feel the same. The song is from the 80s, M recorded it in 2000 and it fits perfectly with Billie's storyline. (Friday 18 September 2020; 11:37)
