Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,489) by Bobby A from United States I feel you Paul, but MC was striving for a coehsive complilation package. Other rare songs would have ruined the flow of the CD in your music player. Tracks 1-7 give you that Motown R&B sound that MC wanted more of on her earlier albums. Tracks 8-15 are the "making a statement" songs like Out Here On My Own, I Pray, Loverboy (Firecracker Original Version), Lullaby of Birdland, Save The Day, and Close My Eyes.

Re: The Rarities (Deluxe) (95,485) (95,488) by Bobby A from United States That would be nice. However, it is too late to add extra songs, the physical release is already sitting at warehouses ready to be shipped to the retailer. It can still happen for the digital release, but I doubt that too. Any deluxe CD or digital edition would have been announced on Wednesday. (Friday 11 September 2020; 10:24)

Re: Loverboy - Firecracker (95,465) (95,487) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Clutching my pearls just thinking of this. Scandalous. (Friday 11 September 2020; 07:53)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,474) (95,486) by Stacey from USA I'm said USA fan and I love, love, love this song. This American already does (you know love this song). (Friday 11 September 2020; 07:16)

The Rarities (Deluxe) (95,485) by Ethan from United States I hope there's a deluxe version for 2-3 more songs. There's space left on the first CD to include Runway, which is perfectly fitting to follow by Save The Day (2020) with its lyrics and message. And the bonus track is Where are you Christmas? to lead up to Christmas 2020. How fitting is that with everything has happened this year? It's only wishful thinking but I do hope Mariah's Team will go back and add at least those 2 songs. (Friday 11 September 2020; 06:28)

Negative Nancy (95,484) by Paul from Usa I'm sorry to sound so negative. Truly. I adore Mariah. But I feel a little short changed with [The Rarities] track list. We can scrap the live versions from Tokeyo Dome [sic]. I'm positive everyone of those songs is etched in my memory from rewatching those videos over and over again. I'm not that excited that it's on disc now. But definitely excited that it's available for streaming services and authorized. But tell me, am I the only one feeling a little jipped by her most popular B sides? Hear me out. It's MC30. She's already been releasing so much previously heard rare/unheard/not for popular release tracks and remixes week by week. And I'm very thankful for this. And I realize this is especially exciting for fans who are avid release collectors (just as I used to be). But I would've loved, in their place something new, something different. I realize this is appropriate for this album. But like I said. They have been released. It's not like they were buried in the volt. What do you guys think? As far as my collection, sadly it was lost due to someone else's negligence, I started collecting again, and it was destroyed in a fire. Otherwise I'd continue to collect.

Music Box is not pop per say (95,483) by Paul from Usa I consider [Music Box] to be an adult contemporary album. But back in 1993 pop was a blanket genre for a variety of music that was "Popular". Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Janet Jackson, [Rod Stewart], Aerosmith were all listed as "pop" Pop in 1993, in my own opinion would have been [Ace of Base], [Aqua], [Robbie Williams], etc. and today I think it easily translates into music by Katy Perry, Lady Gaga etc. (Friday 11 September 2020; 04:56)

MTV Unplugged Target Exclusive vinyl (95,482) by Bobby A from United States I guess MC did break the internet on Wednesday. The MTV Unplugged Target Exclusive vinyl has been designated as "pre-orders have sold-out". Don't worry because they do this to make sure that they can get all of pre-orders shipped by November 6th. They will open up the ordering again once the pre-orders have all shipped. Plus, you know they are going ship some to the stores on or after November 6th. The same scenario happened with Taylor Swift's Lover. I bought that one in the store on release day. Don't buy that MC one eBay for $75.00. Lol. (Friday 11 September 2020; 03:49)

Re: Snippets new album (95,478) (95,481) by Bobby A from United States They have been removed now. Lol. (Friday 11 September 2020; 00:57)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,477) (95,480) by We are lambily from USA Edward, Music Box is pure pop? Is definitely her most "pop" album but it clearly has strong elements of R&B and even Gospel. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 23:20)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,474) (95,479) by Andrew from the United Kingdom The Americans will come to love it because nothing ever stays the same, babe. Nothing ever stays the same. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 23:01)

Re: Snippets new album (95,473) (95,478) by Bobby A from United States They are amazing. One Night, Here We Go Round Again, All I Live For have that Motown sound. It looks like another great end during the last quarter of the year. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:49)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,474) (95,477) by Edward from USA Bill, there's not denying "Everything Fades Away" is a masterpiece, but Music Box being pure pop, in my opinion, it just doesn't sit well with the rest of the tracks. It's so weird UK fans can't imagine Music Box without it being the closing track. I can't imagine it following "All I've Ever Wanted". I think EFA would sit well in any album with "Slipping Away", "Do You Think OF Me", "Thank God I Found You (Make It Last)" and "My All (Stay Awhile) Non-Rap". (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:34)

Re: Snippets new album (95,473) (95,476) by Bill from the UK Here We Go Around Again has my heart. Those 9 seconds are just out of this world. 1990 Mariah. I mean good God. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:22)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,470) (95,475) by 123 from USA I think she is saving other rarities for a Rarities 2 album. Hypnotized wasn't included. All In Your Mind demo, although Mariah said it was only a comp and wanted to share the short clip? The Crave Song? Heard of this but never found an interview where it's mentioned. I would have liked I Feel It included from TEOM. It was so soulful. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:22)

Everything Fades Away (95,474) by Bill from the UK Listening to this song, half a bottle of wine down. How people can't acknowledge this as the perfect, true ending to Music Box is baffling. This song is incredible and heart wrenching and beautiful. It is one of the best things she has ever done. I implore the US fans to make a Music Box playlist with this as the closing track once it is available on streaming platforms on 2nd October. It is just the most perfect end to what is a great, great album. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:00)

Snippets new album (95,473) by Boy from The Netherlands Am I the only one who heard the snippets from the new album? Fyi it’s amazing especially One Night. It’s my favorite already. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 20:24)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,466) (95,472) by Bobby A from United States You're welcome. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 18:50)

The Rarities tracklistings (95,471) by Terna from Nigeria I'm kinda shocked that with all the investigations we did, we still got it wrong. Lol. Being an avid Lamb like I know most of us here are I still never heard of tracks like "All I Live For", "One Night", "Can You Hear Me" and "Cool On You" (I hope this isn't one of Jermaine's because if I hear one more "Y'all Know what this is"). Anyways, I am really excited for this record although we could've been fine without "Everything Fades Away" and "Do you think of Me" instead replacing them with "Into The Light" and "Alive" or Even "Skydiving". Like most Lambs I'm most stoked for the original "Loverboy" version JLo stole. Hehe. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 18:37)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,469) (95,470) by TJ from Norway That would be the greatest gift of all. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 17:24)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,467) (95,469) by Bill from the UK Me too. I'm praying the end of the celebrations concludes with the debut album remastered, with the "original" album that you mention, and the demo versions/Tommy demo tape. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 14:45)

Billboard Quizzed (95,468) by Will from Australia Oh the shade of Mariah when asked about the Christina Aguilera song from Mean Girls and she claims she doesn't remember initially and then proceeds to get every other 99 questions about the movie right. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 13:06)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,459) (95,467) by TJ from Norway I agree, but (and there's always a but) I also wanted the songs from her debut album, in the way she wanted them, but couldn't release because of her contract with Columbia records. There are other versions of VOL and the rest of the album that she liked better. I'm still hoping. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 12:55)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,461) (95,466) by Tevin from USA Thanks so much Robert. I can't wait to jump into the vinyl world. Thanks for the detailed explanation. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 04:53)

Re: Loverboy - Firecracker (95,453) (95,465) by 123 from USA Hilton I think you are on to something. She would need a feature to get radio to play it and the general public to be interested in it. Drake is the only choice if she can pull it off and get the label to send it to multiple formats. Didn't he post a pic of Mariah from Dreamlover with a heart a while back? Getting the song to number 1 would be the best form of karma. Plus Drake is the male version of Mariah when it comes to petty so I'm sure he would be down for it. He used to date I don't know her, so using him to get a historic number 1 when I don't know her used her ex to do the same thing back in 2001. The blogs wouldn't stop talking. Now that would be a juicy story. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 03:32)
