Re: Save The Day video (95,508) (95,514) by Jamie from UK Let’s wait until we see the full video first, we only saw a snippet. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 07:00)

Avatar (95,513) by Edward from USA Eric, why isn't my avatar picture uploading? [Webmaster: Maybe because it's not the right format? It must be a jpg, gif or png.] (Saturday 12 September 2020; 06:26)

9/11 (95,512) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Here is something I do not know: where was Mariah on that day? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 04:45)

Save The Day music video (95,511) by T from USA Here's the thing, Mariah is this amazing songwriter and that's what she wants to get across to the general public. But when she makes videos where she's caressing herself in a car it takes away from the song itself. Music is as much a visual medium these days and it's almost like we "see" before we "hear". And then there's a disconnect because it subconsciously gives the impression that someone else writes the songs and Mariah is just the eye candy. How will she pull off lyrics like "And it's too divided, too deep to understand" while she's trying to look sexy? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 01:11)

Re: Save The Day video (95,508) (95,510) by Bobby A from United States Darling, MC has to show off her recent weight lost while being in quarantine. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 00:29)

Glitter (95,509) by Bobby A from United States I just thought about why wasn't Glitter made a available Wednesday as a remastered vinyl? Does anybody know why? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 00:25)

Re: Save The Day video (95,500) (95,508) by 123 from USA I saw the clip. Horrible. If they must shoot a video, why the same concept that has already been used 1000 times. Riding on top of a car with sexy poses for 3 minutes. Not the biggest fan of the song, but it has a great message. She could have shown essential workers risking their lives like postal workers, nurses, doctors. Shown female athletes striving to win the game. Had Mariah March in one of the protests with her Covid mask on or at least show footage of these protests. Next single please. Is this even a single? It hasn’t been sent to radio. Mariah camp, I implore you to have better video concepts, if only for the nostalgia. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a decent video. (How much could have Dreamlover cost? Dancers and a hot air balloon.) (Friday 11 September 2020; 23:58)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,498) (95,507) by Stacey from USA Dang it. Well thank you kind sir for the compliment. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:17)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,506) by Stacey from USA I hear you. Three tracks (Do You Think, Everything Fades Away, Slipping Away) are taking up space that could be used for other unreleased songs. And the second disc being devoted to a concert kinda irks me too. I'm sure she has enough unreleased stuff to fill up a second disc. That said I agree with Randy and Edward. We've gotten so much rare stuff lately I can't complain. I collected her CDs, promo CDs, etc for years up until 2007. I had the elusive Butterfly Meme Remixes promo from Brazil. So most of these remixes I've heard. Still though for everyone to have access to these mixes is great. Cheers. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:16)

The love for Mariah (95,505) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I like most female singers who can really sing, Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Christina, Barbra, Patti, Aretha etc., but I also love female artist that hasn't got that huge voice like Madonna, Britney, Katy Perry and Rihanna. But when I read comments on Facebook and YouTube and such, I understand there is a huge competition among those artists based on their fans. Fans argue all the time about who is the ultimate queen. What I have realised tonight is that all those arguments affect me, because I always want my Mariah on top. Well, the reality is that Mariah is far from being on top these days. Her music doesn't make any impact and she sells very few tickets to her live shows. Those are the basic arguments from rivaling fans who wants to put Mariah down. I can't argue against them, because it's true. What I have also realised this evening, is that whatever other people say about Mariah, my feeling towards her remains the same. There is nothing people could say that can distance me from Mariah, because music and the artist is about the feelings you experience while listening to them, and the feeling I get while listening to Mariah is always positive. Mariah is my go to artist at all times. I'm so much in love with the music and person, that I will never stop routing for her. Mariah has been my number one inspiration in music, I have invested so much time supporting her, that not a single argument will change my stand that Mariah is the best female singer in the world. Love you Mariah. (Friday 11 September 2020; 20:23)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey reveals the tracklist of "The Rarities" (95,499) (95,504) by Bill from the UK It's on her Insta, so it is. Fire the proof reader I guess. I noticed all that too and things like that really, really get to me. (Friday 11 September 2020; 20:01)

Best introspective song (95,503) by Bill from the UK Since very early on, Mariah has often graced her albums with beautifully poignant, introspective songs. Often sung softly and delicately. The Wind, Looking In, Petals, Sunflowers, Languishing, Camouflage, and Portrait. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting (finishing the rest of that bottle of wine from my previous post). Have you a favourite? I was listening to Portrait today and the opening really struck me. Where do I go from here? How do I disappear? These lyrics are heartbreaking. For me, I take it to be a reflection on the embarrassment of The Nightmare Era and Mariah's World and Packer and all that nonsense that was going on back then. Imagine being Mariah. Never having any privacy. Having everything you do scrutinised. Your relationships documented in news articles. How do I disappear? She never will. This is what is so upsetting about this song. (Friday 11 September 2020; 18:44)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,493) (95,502) by Randy from USA I gotta agree with you Edward. I didn't expect this many unheard songs. I def wish she had finished unfinished tracks and put them in because the three B sides are unnecessary. They are all over YouTube. Also I really wanted Crave. But I'm excited overall. And I gotta agree with you on my first listen of Butterfly. I remember exactly where I was that album was so monumental. This almost makes me rethink leaving the board. Almost.

Mariah performing at the US Open? (95,501) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Mariah latest Facebook story is very cryptic, but it looks like she will perform at the women's final. I am a total tennis buff and have watched lots of the matches at this years US Open, and will be watching the final. It would be so much fun to see Mariah there. (Friday 11 September 2020; 17:35)

Save The Day video (95,500) by Chicago Lamb from USA I love everything Mariah but did we need another back seat convertible moment? (Friday 11 September 2020; 17:35)

Article: Mariah Carey reveals the tracklist of "The Rarities" (95,499) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Is this tracklisting real? 1. The year on Do You Think Of Me is missing the parenthesis. 2. Track 6 contains a space before it and therefore misalignment of numbers. 3. Slipping Away is listed as 1996. That is not the year in which it was recorded but released. The other years suggest the years in which the songs were recorded. All seems a bit odd to me. (Friday 11 September 2020; 17:24)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,486) (95,498) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Stacey, you are so wise and true, I already consider you an honorary Brit. So you don't count. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:30)

Re: Harumph (95,491) (95,497) by Andrew from the United Kingdom If anyone pays £500 quid for those vinyls, they need their head examined. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:29)

Save The Day video (95,496) by Terna from Nigeria I thought it was a made up rumour. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:26)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,493) (95,495) by enwar00 from usa Ok I'mma let you finish, but Mariah doesn't owe us anything. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:20)

How interesting (95,494) by Bill from the UK I went back to an article posted in 2013 with the tracklisting of "The Art of Letting Go" (original iteration of Me I Am Mariah). How interesting to see Save the Day as the final track. Tracks 1-4 ended up on MIAM, she's mentioned Hope Street in interviews. I'm dubious about the other tracks listed, especially the duet with Stevie produced by Walter. I doubt that ever happened. Why would you shelve a duet with Stevie (when he contributed harmonica to Make It Look Good)? And no way would she have let Walter near the track to produce it. But it is interesting how much of this rumoured tracklisting ended up being genuine. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:13)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,493) by Edward from USA I'm not going to lecture you with one of the most ridiculous sentences some people use her to justify Mariah, which is "Mariah doesn't owe us anything", but I'll tell you this: None of us were expecting to have so much from Mariah in a shitty year like 2020. She's not only given us EP after EP, we'll get "The Meaning of Mariah Carey", but we'll also have "The Rarities". On top of that, vinyl releases of her catalog, that's insane. Even the gays will get a vinyl release of the Glitter album with actual pink glitter all over it. When was the last time we got so much from Mariah in such a short period of time? Never. Even though some of us don't want to admit it, we're all excited because we're getting those heavenly vocals and great lyrics of the past. I won't listen to any snippet, I'll discover the songs one by one when I get the album, like when I first popped in the "Butterfly" CD and my heart skipped a beat every time a new track was about to start. (Friday 11 September 2020; 14:06)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,492) by Chicago Lamb from USA I may put my collection up for sale. I've got everything from 1990 - present. CD's, foreign releases, maxi-singles, singles, magazines, original DJ vinyl releases, unopened music. I have to get it all catalogued. Email miakitten@msn.com and I'll put you on the list. (Friday 11 September 2020; 13:36)

Harumph (95,491) by Bill from the UK I was a bit perturbed to not be greeted with some Rainbow era EPs this morning. I know Mariah went nuclear this week with the vinyl re-issues, so I guess that was this week's gift for us (well, £500 expense lol). Plus Heartbreaker, Thank God I Found You and Mariah's Theme already have remix singles available to stream (in the UK at least), so I guess it doesn't really matter. But it does. (Friday 11 September 2020; 13:12)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,490) by Bill from the UK The only previously available tracks are Do You Think of Me, Everything Fades Away and Slipping Away. Literally everything else is new or unreleased before on the first disc. (Friday 11 September 2020; 11:38)
