Re: Every song (95,554) (95,561) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Now now Andypants, some of the '10s are OK. MIAMTEC I quite enjoy. It will be, however, the first time I listen to every song on Caution I think. You know, the "cohesive body of work" album. (Wednesday 16 September 2020; 06:48)

Article: Fly away: Mariah Carey's Butterfly turns 20 (95,560) by Lainsky from Philippines It has been 23 years since this album came out. Yet, it remains her best work for me and album of all time. The older it gets the more it becomes relevant in my opinion and the more I love it. I have grown to like the tracks I used to skip. Now, I love it entirely. Breakdown and Butterfly remains my top favorite though, which could have easily been gone to No.1s if not for whatever reasons then. Another could have been from this era is the The Roof. These 3 singles plus Honey and My All could be her 5 No.1s from an album. This album could have been also given her 8 consecutive No.1s. Oh well, I was always after the Billboard chart back then. Just memories and could have beens from this "the true" Mariah album. Her masterpiece or the crown of all her albums in my opinion. Today, after 23 years it remains my all time favorite and enjoys listening to it more and more like a wine. We can all simply wish that she could make another something like this. Now that she's 50 and spent 30 years in the music industry, it would be great to see another masterpiece from her after The Rarities. Butterfly is Mariah Carey 23 years ago. An album that represents the real meaning of Mariah Carey today would be awesome. (Wednesday 16 September 2020; 05:52)

Gladys and Patti Verzuz (95,558) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa This was epic, the best of the series in my opinion. They gave Mimi a shout out. Listening to the classics and cuts of these two extraordinary women. I had forgotten what this type of music can sound like and what it can do to you. Even lyrically. I would absolutely love for Mariah to take a few pages or a whole book from their career and give us that meaningful soul music that sticks with you for a lifetime. Their music was rarely trendy, it's all so timeless. "If Only You Knew" by Patti, "License To Kill" by Gladys, and countless others. I would love for Mimi to be the new auntie for these kids coming up. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 21:11)

Sudden weight loss (95,557) by Malcolm from Asia Not to talk about this in a bad taste but I get curious how Mariah does it? Like just last month she's not like that compared to the Save The Day MV and her "TMOMC Unboxing". Though I'm glad that she lost the weight but the procedure of it seems unhealthy and sudden.

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (95,552) (95,556) by Andrew from the United Kingdom William, what we need to do is find someone who went to one of the European legs of the Daydream World Tour and ask them their opinion on it. But where to start? (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 19:17)

Re: Save The Day music video (95,540) (95,555) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Save The Day video is the perfect video to accompany Save The Day song. They are both completely shit and an embarrassment for an international superstar. O Mariah. What happened to your talent? (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 19:16)

Re: Every song (95,527) (95,554) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "I've decided at one point I will listen to every single song Mariah has recorded (even the shit ones)." So the 90's, 00's (and even the 2010's). (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 19:08)

Re: Save The Day video (95,521) (95,553) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Back up. Stop emasculating Bryan. It is not his place to dictate to Mariah because he has a Y chromosome. Were it so that he was the rich and famous one and she the employee/partner she would not be mocked for following the talent's wishes. A tad sexist. Woke, are we? (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 19:04)

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (95,551) (95,552) by Bill from the UK Far be for me to rain on the parade, but the Tokyo Dome concert is pretty much the album versions of the songs lowered a couple of semitones and lip synced. Without You, Forever, Always Be My Baby, One Sweet Day etc. This is why I would have rather one of the European legs be released on audio instead. But beggars can't be choosers as they say. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 17:47)

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (95,544) (95,551) by TJ from Norway She should release more concerts on DVD, CD or just digital, and yes, this is one hell of a performance. I just wait for the CB concert from Paris. What a great night that she did tape. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 16:13)

Re: Bill, in the backseat (95,549) (95,550) by Bill from the UK Okay yes you're right. How could I forget about The Roof. It is quite possibly her best ever video in fact. I stand corrected. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 13:47)

Bill, in the backseat (95,549) by Jeff from USA Bill, I have to respectfully disagree with you on Emotions being the only "backseat shots" worth watching. What about those gorgeous shots in The Roof? (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 11:23)

Re: Glitter week (95,541) (95,548) by Will from England Might have got no new EP's but we did get all of her albums remastered on vinyl. Hardly nothing. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 08:26)

TMOM unboxing (95,547) by Bill from the UK Mariah has uploaded a video of her unboxing the memoir. Love the back image and wish that had been the front picture. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 00:37)

The B sides (95,546) by Will from Australia I'm actually stoked to have Slipping Away and Everything Fades Away, they're two of my favourite Mariah songs so to be finally able to add to my hundred different playlists is a dream. I have the actual single of Dreamlover that has DYTOM and I've never liked it so I could do without that on the album. I am surprised that nobody here is calling out the inclusion of Close My Eyes (2020), that's more of an unnecessary addition and to be honest is on there for herself and not the fans. (Monday 14 September 2020; 23:07)

Re: Glitter week (95,541) (95,545) by Jamie from UK I'm presuming out of respect for 911 anniversary she didn't realise any MC30 EP's this week. Wonder what we will get this week. (Monday 14 September 2020; 21:27)

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (95,543) (95,544) by Aliya from Canada It's also one of her greatest concerts ever vocally. (Monday 14 September 2020; 18:15)

Tokyo Dome concert (95,543) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I think the reason Mariah decided to add the Daydream Tokyo Dome concert to the rarities is because it is 25th anniversary of the Daydream album/era and she wanted the fans to celebrate two different anniversaries all at the same time, and she doesn't have to worry about trying to create another special moment with the holiday season soon approaching and we know MC and the holiday season work together hand, and hand. Even though a [Daydream] celebration would have been great. But overall I am happy with MC given us this year to celebrate her career. (Monday 14 September 2020; 14:38)

Here We Go Round Again (95,542) by Bobby A from United States I wish I understood Why I can't get over you at all But you push me to the side And I come a running when you call (come a running) You step outside of my life And you leave me waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign) - Lyrics: Mariah Carey This is why MC is a brilliant songwriter. Two more weeks Lambs until we can have HWGRA on repeat. (Monday 14 September 2020; 03:32)

Glitter week (95,541) by CMC from NY,NY We kind of got nothing this week in regards to EP's being released on Fridays for the era's. We got Save The Day video on a Saturday - don't really think that counts though. Does anyone remember back early summer Kristofer her makeup artist posted to his story, "working on something special" and it was Glitter related, a new current pitot of 80's makeup he did on Mariah? That was the week of Glitter announced to streaming services. Then we got everything related to the anniversary and any more Glitter promo postponed because of the many events of the early summer. Being that she seems to have recorded so much for Glitter that's unreleased I wonder if we are getting a special Glitter EP, with more unreleased tracks, remixes. Maybe she's dropping it as more of a surprise. One can dream. (Monday 14 September 2020; 01:53)

Save The Day music video (95,540) by Malcolm from Asia In all honesty, I don't hate the video because I didn't expect that we will get it nor expect that it'll be a big budget one since it's a partnership with US Open Tennis Championships, kind of similar for what she did with 100%. I just like it for what it is especially I think this is the first for a long time that she perfected the lip syncing for a music video lol, it's seamless I love it and hey this is more well directed and edited compared to I Don't, that's absurd.

Re: The Rarities tracklisting (95,539) by BFF from United States I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get more unreleased material from the 1997-2005 period and that b-sides like "Everything Fades Away", "Do You Think of Me", and "Slipping Away" took up space that could have gone to completely new material. They are great songs, but most fans already know them. I would have been happy to have them released on digital EPs as part of #MC30. Surely "Butterfly"/"Rainbow" had more outtakes? And she was working on "Glitter" for four years, so there has to be more music from that project. I would not have minded hearing a recording of (adult) Mariah singing that song "Billie's Blues (Turn You Loose)" that was used in the movie during that scene with Billie Frank and her mother. Didn't she also record something with Prince for the film? And I'm not sure that the Live at Tokyo Dome disc is really necessary. I'd rather have audio or video from the Rainbow or Charmbracelet tours if we are getting tour footage/audio. Those tours were much more interesting than the Daydream tour. If she was planning to do a two-disc collection, I would rather have two discs of rarities/b-sides rather than one disc of rarities/b-sides and one disc of concert audio (from a concert most fans already know well). With all of that said, I'm very interested to hear the original recording of "Loverboy" as well as "Here We Go Around Again" and "One Night". Fingers crossed that she is planning another collection like this because this is definitely only a fraction of her rare/unreleased material. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 21:57)

Re: Save the Day (95,531) (95,538) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think the video is okay. Of course no art, but it's not like "I don't" at all luckily. MC looks good and the car. Haha. The mixing with tennis and the pandemic is a bit strange. But hey it's not that bad. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 19:35)

Without You (95,537) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi all, I know there are more interesting things going on right now with all the releases but I just wanted to share this little "story". I watched a show called the best love songs of the 90ies. Like every time Mariah was on it, number 7 or 8. What was a surprise that everyone (German actors and other celebreties) were talking only positive about Mariah. One said she loves her athletic singing with emotions that speaks to everybody, the actor said he has loved her voice since the first listen. That's how it looks. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 19:24)
