Album rankings (97,487) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Album rankings are a matter of personal opinion just because a fan prefers one album over another that does not make them wrong, or less of a fan. Personally some people on this board need to relax, and let loose because we all have things going on outside of the message board that consumes us. This should be our place to escape the serious things that we deal with, and bring some fun as we discuss the woman who brings us all together as the family that we are. Be blessed, and stay safe Archives family. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 15:23)

Re: Album rankings (97,484) (97,486) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I cannot begin to fathom how people think Butterfly a better album than Daydream. I have, in the last decade, read an inordinate amount of messages lambasting the Grammy Awards for not giving Mariah the Record of the Year award for Daydream. Yet, I do not recall ever having read one message about Butterfly in that respect. And I read and write in this bloody thing every day (much to everyone’s delight). Hmm. Me thinks, again, that many a lamb feels compelled to put Butterfly at the top because that is what Mariah would want. Or do. It would be interesting for Mariah to do the same chart she did for her songs with her albums. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 13:43)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,477) (97,485) by Tijl from Belgium It is a fun tune with a particularly sharp message. Love it. Should have promoted better. I loved the video as well. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 12:41)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,474) (97,483) by Mara from United States Agree Myles, not to mention, what an opener to the live Caution Tour shows ANN was. It was something to see with the into and her haunting whistle note before leading into the pulsing drums amd lights behind the curtain with ANN. I loved it! Saw the Caution Tour twice luckily, once in AC and then her closing show in Bethlehem, PA and I think ANN was a fitting opening for the shows. Maybe not a Billboard #1 but certainly a hot track.

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,469) (97,482) by Mara from United States Tj, I was the same age as you when MB came out. I have the same carefree feelings. Oh how I wish things were as simple as those days. I remember almost singing Hero or Without You in my HS Chorus class concert and then getting bronchitis the weeek of the show. It was devastating. Then my rival got to do a solo of Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams in my place. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 09:06)

Re: Languishing Interlude (97,461) (97,481) by Mara from United States I agree Shezz. After reading The Art Of Letting Go was penned with Pat in mind, Languishing could be about her too, or perhaps she was already having some issues with Nick and it was a cry out to him, as she has gone on record saying that MIAM was a continuation to Memiors. Mariah is such a deep complex person that just when we think we know where her head could be at, she throws us. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 08:34)

Album rankings (97,480) by Lainsky from Philippines I just noticed that Butterfly is consistent to be in the Top 2 or No.4 of the lamb's personal rankings. Mostly, it's No.1 and 2. It is followed by Daydream I guess. Just saying this observation. See how obsessed I can be with lists or rankings. (Thursday 25 February 2021; 05:06)

MC30 (97,478) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why did the releases just stop randomly? Are they planning on stretching it until Mariah's anniversary? (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 22:30)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,474) (97,477) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I also feel like that song would be perfect for the Cardi collaboration. The song is fun and savage and just has that boss lady energy. It's SIO's older sister haha. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 21:13)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,471) (97,476) by TJ from Norway Strange, isn't it? (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 21:08)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,474) (97,475) by The Real Deal from USA "A No No" is one of my favorites as well. I think that it should have been the lead single instead of GTFO or With You. If I did a ranking of my top 20 favorite MC songs, "A No No" would definitely be on that list! (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 19:50)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,470) (97,474) by Myles from CT, USA Oh my gosh! ANN is one of my favorite Mariah songs and one that we play often for fun drunk nights. I always regret that Mariah never got Cardi and Kim on that one. I felt like that would have been a smash. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 19:17)

One Night (97,473) by MusicfanJ from Germany The song gets better and better. It really sounds like the "afterparty" version of "ABMB". The rarities are still giving me pure enjoyment. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 16:12)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,470) (97,472) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh gosh, I'm the opposite haha, I love ANN. I thought the word play was funny/cute and I liked the vibe of the song. I still play the original, I wish it had the whistles. "Infinity" on the other hand I haven't played in a while. But regardless yes, I would like Mariah to collaborate with some fresh collaborators whether they are new singers or songwriters to kind of get a fresh sound. I know with the right people Mariah can adapt to their sounds because she literally can do anything musically. All she needs is that inspiration. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 15:27)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,469) (97,471) by Jamie from UK Yes I agree things were so carefree back then. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 13:42)

Re: Mariah and Cardi interview (97,462) (97,470) by We are lambily from USA I was so mad over [Cardi B] over that first interaction and how she treated Mariah like some Soundcloud rapper, but then I remember she is real as smurf, even too real. She said she would love to work with Mariah even then, but I believe "she blamed it on timing and wanting to finish her album". The truth was, if Mariah had a better song, she would've jumped on it. And since I'm in a mood of sharing, let me say... No offence but looking back at the [Caution] album, A No No was truly one of the weakest songs Mariah has ever done, I swear [Infinity] that many love to trash is even better, I haven't played that track willingly over a year, unless I play the whole album and just soak it all in. That rapper Shawni was so promising, the whistles were cute, I love the world play, the songs just sounds really dated. Funny how the songs in the 90s aged better than than the song that is homage to that era and Lil Kim obv. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 10:12)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,468) (97,469) by TJ from Norway I MB. I was 17 when it was released and my world was carefree. No bills, no stress, nothing to worry about and most of all no wrinkles and thick blonde hair. How things have changed. The album brings back memories. Important memories. My list: 1. Mariah Carey 2. Music Box 3. Emotions 4. Butterfly 5. TEOM 6. Glitter 7. Daydream 8. CB 9. Rainbow 10. MOAIA (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 07:17)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,464) (97,468) by Andrew from the United Kingdom If the list was a ranking of what albums mean the most to me, then Music Box would be on top. I listened to it every night on cassette in my treasured Sony Walkman. It means the most to me. And I'll admit it for once and for all. I am at peace with myself, my friends and family know, and now I can finally be honest and open with the world: I. Like. Big. Ballads. Big ones. Big massive smassive ones with strings and bows and cymbals and every syllable stretched out of existence. Even if Mariah doesn't. Music Box got me addicted so she has a lot to answer for. I could have been into Green Day and Nirvana. But nope. Mariah went ahead and gave me Music Box. This guy is worth a look if you haven't seen him already. He really has an astounding voice, not only singing Mariah but other divas and Disney, also. And he's also good to sing along with as the songs are in a more male-accessible key. His voice is stunning. Check out his version of Blank Page by Christina Aguilera as well. It's enough to make any grown - or young boy - cry. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 01:00)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,465) (97,466) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "I mean, I don't rate Fly Like a Bird, I always skip Underneath the Stars, I can't remember the last time I listened to Make It Happen, and I prefer the original Fantasy over the ODB remix." Oooh that's fun. Lemme see: I don't rate: Vanishing I always skip: My All I can't remember the last time I listened to: Without You I prefer the original: Heartbreaker to the remix (Tuesday 23 February 2021; 23:28)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,456) (97,465) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Understood, m'lady. My tumultuous relationship with Music Box goes back to 1993 when my mum played it non stop in the house, car and anywhere else she could find a cassette player. At the time I was all about Green Day and Nirvana, and Music Box represented everything I didn't like. At the time. But as my music tastes grew/evolved, and I discovered Mariah's back catalogue, and love it, Music Box remains one of my least favourite albums. I still like it, just not as much as her others. As for the lambs being coerced into liking/disliking certain material, Mariah's personal taste in music (or anybody else's, for that matter) has no bearing on my own - I couldn't care less, to be honest. I mean, I don't rate Fly Like a Bird, I always skip Underneath the Stars, I can't remember the last time I listened to Make It Happen, and I prefer the original Fantasy over the ODB remix.

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,456) (97,464) by Jamie from UK Yes Music Box is a masterpiece. A solid body of work that oozes quality. Each song has depth and has stood the test of time. Yes it's her most commercial album and I'm not afraid to say it's my favourite too. I remember at the time she was number 1 in U.K. with Without You, the album was number 1 and her home video was number 1. Everyone was talking about Mariah which was weird because I'd been listening to her for a few years at this point. I remember prior to Music Box people would say what music do you like and I'd say Mariah Carey and they'd be like who's that? I used to love it that not many people knew her at the time. I have so many good memories around that time and the album always takes me to a happy place. If you were to ask most people who remember that album being released they will say that is Mariah at her best. I still get chills listening to that album as for me personally it is the greatest. (Tuesday 23 February 2021; 22:24)

Re: All I Live For (97,457) (97,463) by Jamie from UK I believe so. Love that song. (Tuesday 23 February 2021; 22:10)
