Define Mariah (95,420) by Musti from UK
With the upcoming book, I started to think about what the meaning of Mariah Carey is for me and the point in time when I understood what she represents. Besides her catalog, it was actually the infamous 2001 TRL appearance that made me realise Mariah is all about perseverance and having a set of values that one adheres to. I find it surprising that she's been shamed for that appearance all these years while its most important moment went unnoticed. At some point after taking off her t-shirt, Mariah said they could start a clothing line with it. When Carson said "That would be the girl's division", Mariah naturally responded "What's wrong with a guy wearing this? We love all types of people." Considering she was going through hell at the time, I was so proud of her for not letting that comment slip. Of course this moment was extra special for a young gay man who didn't see much outspoken support for people like me in those days. But more than that, it also showed me that if you have an understanding of right and wrong and you stick to your values, you will be alright.

Re: Patricia Carey (95,416) (95,419) by TMG from USA
Agreed, I look forward to the day the truth is finally exposed too. There is no reason after the age of 50 years that that a bunch of lies, deception and manipulation using media is how one should live their best life. Certainly, life is so short and too valuable to squander it this way.

Just thinking about The Rarities (95,418) by Bobby A from United States
I really feel the next 3 weeks leading up to the book and The Rarities release that we are in for a promotional rollout that is going to be like no other. I am looking forward to listening to The Rarities just like I did TEOM and Daydream for first time. MC's voice will be her best on this album. People are going to realize why she is the Songbird Supreme. I am ready for another R&B jam like what has been said about Hypnotized. I am curious to why Can You Hear Me has been described as The Jackson's ABC. I wonder if Mesmerized is a ballad. I am so ready for the remastered versions of Do You Think Of Me, Everything Fades Away and Slipping Away. I am looking forward to hearing Anything Can Happen, Out Here On My Own, Kick Rocks, and Loverboy. This will be MC's first album in awhile not to feature any rappers. I am hoping for a Target or Walmart Exclusive announcement soon. Are you ready to make MC debut at number #1? I am rambling. I know.

Everything Fades Away (95,417) by Bobby A from United States
Did we ever confirm that Will Downing is the male voice on EFA? If he is the male vocalist, it would be a great marketing strategy to say Everything Fades Away featuring Will Downing.

Re: Patricia Carey (95,407) (95,416) by Chicago Lamb from USA
Take this Sun article with a grain of salt. If I had to guess, I'd say Mariah and her Mom are just fine. The whole "cult" thing doesn't have credibility at all and it reads like a list of lies. Let Mariah tell it on on September 29th.

I Still Believe/ Pure Imagination (95,415) by enwar00 from usa
What the heck. The video suddenly re-appeared on YouTube on her channel again. Still shows it was uploaded in 2015, but I swear it wasn't there for years now at least not in the US. I'm assuming it's back because of MC30. Alright time to watch, haven't seen it in years. Is that a literal lamb in the beginning?

Morgan Carey is Mariah's only brother.

Re: Patricia Carey (95,410) (95,412) by TMG from USA
The story about this family is a very sad story that must be told truthfully.

Re: Patricia Carey (95,410) (95,411) by Malcolm from Asia
But we just see them last 2017 I guess. What I understood in the article if the article I've read is the same from that New York magazine was that they were just not in best terms when her "mental breakdown" happened. I hope that's the case.
(Sunday 6 September 2020; 01:04)
Re: Patricia Carey (95,407) (95,410) by Bobby A from United States
This is so sad. This woman has never been able to be a grandmother to Roc and Roe. Life is so hard when you [have] family issues. I know from experience.

Lol. What are you trying to say Edward?

Ledisi covers Without You (95,408) by Bobby A from United States
Ledisi covers Without You on her new album. She sings it just like MC. She hits all the high notes. Check it out.

Patricia Carey (95,407) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City)
Based on the article from New York magazine unfortunately Mariah, and Mama Carey are not on the best of terms, and have been estranged for quite sometime. Mariah also said despite their issues she still provides for her mother as far as financial support. As far as the assistant living facility in Florida I am not too sure about that, but if that is what is needed due to her failing health who am I to pass judgment. Hopefully Mariah, and Mama Carey can make amends before it is too late.

Re: Do You Know (95,401) (95,406) by Edward from USA
You need to decide, either Bill or Andrew. Don't be so greedy on these trying times.

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,404) (95,405) by Edward from USA
You've been very aggressive lately. I need to have a conversation with Eric. This abuse can't continue. We all know JLo can sing, she just doesn't like to show off. Her version of "Do You Know Where You're Going To" is a masterpiece.
(Saturday 5 September 2020; 15:22)
Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,400) (95,404) by Stacey from USA
I don't really care about who has the better accent, lol. My comments were a total dig at J-Lo's singing abilities or lack thereof.

Patricia Carey (95,403) by Bobby A from United States
Is really true that Mariah and her mother have been estranged for years now? Any truth to Mariah moving Patricia into an assisted living facility in Florida because of failing health and in preparation for the media storm that is going to follow when Mariah's book comes out.

Article: Mariah Carey's brother: 5 fast facts you need to know (95,402) by TMG from USA
It's incredibly sad with as much opportunity as there is bestowed for this family in the public eye that leadership just wasn't there for them to resolve their issues. You can't ever erase or replace the members of this family or its journey no matter how much money, fame or agenda those benefiting from its destruction exists.

Do You Know (95,401) by Bobby A from United States
Where is Andrew this week? He has been awfully quiet this week. Lol. Anyway, here in Atlanta I am listening to Do You Know Where You Are Going To Bonita right now on the 16th floor of my Peachtree Street apartment. I am just having a ball dancing to this remix. This is why MC is the queen of remixes. I love the gifts she's given us today. I am so proud to be a fan.

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,384) (95,400) by Edward from USA
Hate to say it, but Jennifer's accent is definitely better, it has gotten better with time. Sometime you can't even tell she's a gringa. But the singing part, you're right, lol.

Webmaster (95,399) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
Thank you so much for all that you do here. I appreciate how swiftly the posts are up and just having this space in general. You do your job so well. It means a lot and I know that you don't have to do it. Just wanted to say a big thanks.

I was so hoping someone would get it.

Rainbow Era Remix EPs (95,397) by Bill from the UK
Here are my hopes for the Rainbow EPs. Let's cross our fingers and toes that we get the complete set with nothing missed... though by recent trends there are likely to be some disappointments.

Heartbreaker
Radio Edit (often misprinted as "Album Version featuring Jay. Z", it has a shorter break between verses and axes one of the final choruses)
Remix
Remix Edit [P] (only available on a few promo CDs, this version cuts out the introduction)
No Rap Version
Junior's Club Mix
Junior's Club Dub
Junior's Hard Mix
Love Hangover/Heartbreaker

I think these were probably the last "great" remixes Mariah ever did. The Junior Vasquez "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" mixes were inspired, and remain a work out staple to this day. I will eat my hat if the Remix Edit appears.

Thank God I Found You
Make It Last Remix
Make It Last Remix w/o Rap
Make It Last Remix Instrumental
Make It Last Remix Edit
Make It Last Remix Edit w/o Rap
Stargate Radio Edit
Celebratory Mix

I'd be interested to see if the Make It Last edits (both with and without rap) appear as Mariah seems to not be including edits of the mixes. I loved the Stargate Radio Edit, I think it's the best version. Sidenote: really hope they use the "twisty top" cover and not the "hat with braids" cover.

Against All Odds
Single Version (a.k.a. Westlife Version)
Pound Boys Radio Edit
Pound Boys Main Mix
Pound Boys Deep Dub [P]
Pound Boys Dub
Backing Track [P]
Instrumental

The "Backing Track" appeared on a very rare Brazilian promo CD (899.929/2-495879), so it is unlikely this will appear. Not expecting the Instrumental to make it either. The Pound Boy mixes were on that rare Brazilian promo CD as well, but were more easily obtainable on the UK vinyl release. The Westlife version is a bit of car crash so wouldn't mind this not appearing and it remaining a Mariah only affair.

Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)
Radio Edit
Morales Club Mix Edit
Morales Club Mix
Morales Instrumental
Morales Revival Triumphant Mix
Morales Revival Club Mix* [P]

Some good Morales remixes here, especially hopeful that the Revival Club Mix appears as it has only ever been available on a French promo-only 12" up until now.

Crybaby
Radio Edit [P]

I doubt this will appear, unless it is "double-a sided" with CTTA, like upon its release. A shame as this is a promo-only edit we probably won't see again.

I love this description, I know exactly what you mean. Something about it. That's why they have long been favourites of mine.
