Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,392) (95,395) by Bill from the UK The strings are the best part about Honey. The give it that "James Bond" feel. Agree, the remix really suffers without them and it would have probably been the perfect version of the song had they been included. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:49)

#1s EPs and recap (95,394) by Bill from the UK Hello all. Bill's Weekly Remix EP Recap is back. Have you missed me? So wow, where do we start? Mariah went all out with some mega rare remixes for this round. The "Mariah En Espanol" EP was an unexpected surprise, and closed the gaps with Hero, Open Arms and My All having their Spanish versions released which were missed during their respective eras. Great to also see the promo-only remixes for Mi Todo, which are great, available commercially for the first time ever. And then Mariah went above and beyond with Do You Know Where You're Going To and the incredibly rare club mixes, only ever available on an extremely scarce South American promo picture disc previously. These are some of my most favoured mixes, and the instrumental break in the "bonita" versions is excellent. I Still Believe delivered with a stonking 13 versions, the only omissions being some edits and instrumentals. It bested the existing EP of 10 tracks, which should really now be retired to avoid "clogging up" Mariah's online streaming catalogue. Sweetheart also came through with the fantastic "pounding" remixes (good for the cross trainer), three of which had only ever been available on a promo vinyl release before. Mariah had included the regular album versions for the #1s EPs, my thought here is that as the "#1 to Crapfinity" album essentially replaced the 1998 release, the regular versions have been included. Really though, DYKWYGT is the only track in danger of being erased, as Sweetheart and I Still Believe both appeared on Mariah's Greatest Hits. Disappointing that When You Believe didn't get anything, albeit I did predict this as a slightly different TV Track and an Instrumental aren't exactly much to write home about, but it would have been nice to have had the live version from the Oscars included. As per previous posts, * denotes vinyl only. Promo only releases now available: Sweetheart (A Cappella) Sweetheart (M's More Bounce to the Ounce Vocal)* Sweetheart (M's Pounding Dub)* Sweetheart (M's Beats & Bounces Mix)* DYKWYGT (Mahogany Club) DYKWYGT (Mahogany Club Extended) DYKWYGT (Mahogany for Clubbers) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita Club) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita Club Edit) Below is a list of the remixes that did not make the cut, in addition to When You Believe mentioned above. As before, * denotes vinyl only, and [P] is a promotional only remix. Sweetheart (Radio Edit) Sweetheart (The Story Instrumental) Sweetheart (Instrumental) [P] I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Edit) I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Instrumental)* I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Edit) [P] I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Instrumental)* The EPs have been a bit sporadic with whether they include edits and instrumentals. I hope for when Thank God I Found You's turn rolls around (hopefully next week), that the Make It Last Instrumental is available, as this is just divine to listen to.

Re: Derek Jeter (95,391) (95,393) by Bill from the UK There was a withdrawn UK release, I have it in my collection. And yes apologies, you're right, some territories in Europe did release the single. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:16)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,385) (95,392) by Randy from USA Stacey IDK if I agree with you. I like the rap included on the songs. I hate when she does an either or. Like Loverboy. You either get the rap or extended Cameo. On Thank God I Found You, you get more soulful instrumental moments or Nas. On the Bye Bye remix they took MC's whole first verse out to put Jay-Z on it and I would've liked his verse to extend the song. Even Fantasy was split in two. Although on the Bad Boy Mix you get the pop hook and ODB. It's my favorite version. And I hate to admit it but I love Gucci's verses on Obsessed so I wish she had defied us and put him on the song. P.S. I love all the Butterfly songs with the extended raps: The Roof, Breakdown and Honey. I just hate that Puffy took out the strings on the hook of the Bad Boy version. You have to listen closely.

Re: Derek Jeter (95,387) (95,391) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Hence singles were pressed both in the US and Europe but were never commercially issued." I don't know if the single was released in the UK, but the single was released commercially in the rest of Europe. In the Netherlands it even reached the 14th spot. (Friday 4 September 2020; 21:10)

Remixes (95,390) by Lara from Middle East With all these remixes, someone should start a fitness YouTube channel. (Friday 4 September 2020; 21:06)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,374) (95,389) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Giggling. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:57)

Do You Know... Bonita (95,388) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa These remixes are everything. I've never heard them before. They are giving me 4 am after hours tacos with a tiny dingey dance floor and some red and blue lights and nothing but locals. I'm so loving it. MC30 is such a gift, what a creative rollout to her memoir. Very innovative. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:55)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,379) (95,387) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I agree. I have a feeling it's one of those things like, "this man is so amazing because he's nothing like what I just had". Like a refreshing rebound and she got super excited. I think the songs are more of a reflection of the feelings she felt by being with him more so than the relationship itself. I mean she has a Cancer ascendant and a Pisces mercury so go figure. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:31)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,386) by Bill from the UK Yes agree, it's different with The One (No Rap) as JD's contribution is minimal, albeit still has his hallmark level of annoyingness. Sweetheart being more a "duet", the rap actually works and adds to a rather bland song. And yes, it was planned as the lead single but was canned right before release as radio wasn't playing it. Hence singles were pressed both in the US and Europe but were never commercially issued. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:05)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,385) by Stacey from USA Same here. Usually I prefer her songs without the rap in hopes she'll save said rap versions for the remix. With this song and others like Heartbreaker, the rap fits perfectly and the song flows better with it there then without. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:07)

Mariah en Espanol (95,384) by Stacey from USA Haha, someone should tell J-Lo that's how you sing in Spanish, lol. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:06)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,383) by Randy from USA I'm surprised you haven't heard this before. When I bought #1s in 1998, they gave away the two track Sweetheart single with it for free. I think they had planned to release it as a single but they knew it wouldn't do well. (Friday 4 September 2020; 17:27)

Re: #1's EP Mariah Espanol (95,381) (95,382) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Not to mention, Hermosa already had a digital single release. I bought my copy when it came out. (Friday 4 September 2020; 17:04)

Re: #1's EP Mariah Espanol (95,371) (95,381) by enwar00 from usa Hermosa is on an island all by itself. (Friday 4 September 2020; 15:49)

Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) by Edward from USA I was so looking forward to listening to "Sweetheart Non-Rap Version", but as much as I can't stand JD's ass, I have to say that without his rapping the song is not the same. At least "Fantasy" can stand on its own without ODB, but not this one. "El Amor Que Soñé" actually sounds better now than when I first listened to it back then. Her accent is definitely better than on "Mi Todo", I appreciate the fact they worked on her pronunciation so she could sound decent. Mariah should've kept on releasing songs in Spanish at least one per album, she was definitely in the right direction. Music in Mexico is huge, in Latin America, if you make it in Mexico it is as if you made it in the US coming from other English speaking countries. (Friday 4 September 2020; 15:20)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,370) (95,379) by Bill from the UK Amazing to think the impact this man had on MC, considering their relationship was, seemingly, short lived (I theorise he was on the scene as far back as 1995 and may have contributed to the breakdown of the marriage to Tommy). I have one minor niggle with the list: Damizza has a chapter in his book called "Don't Forget About Us", all about how he ended things with Mariah (whatever "things" were, friendship or maybe something more). The lyrics fit his version of events. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:48)

Re: The Meaning of Mariah's chapters leaked (95,372) (95,378) by Bill from the UK Too much haha, this is priceless. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:28)

Save The Day (95,377) by Bobby A from United States Save The Day was just played on Tigger's V103 morning show at 6:16 for the first time. It sounded so much better on the radio. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:24)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,375) (95,376) by Bobby A from United States Oh yeah. I forgot For The Record. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:16)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,370) (95,375) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa And don't forget For The Record. (Friday 4 September 2020; 08:00)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,370) (95,374) by T from USA She should've married him in 2008 instead. But in the later part of the year after E=MC2 promotion wrapped up. (Friday 4 September 2020; 04:20)

Re: We are in for a ride (95,344) (95,373) by Korey2 from United Stated I would so love a book tour. Jessica Simpson did one that was really cool. You could meet her and take a pic. How amazing it would be to meet Mariah and get her book. (Friday 4 September 2020; 03:39)

The Meaning of Mariah's chapters leaked (95,372) by Randy from USA Omg I just found this in my daydreams. The leaked chapters of the memoir.
