Re: Butterfly Bossa Nova Remix (95,266) (95,276) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It's nice as it does eliminate the extra flourishes from the original that steal focus from the vocals, but to me it doesn't quite live to its title as it does somehow lack the certain jazzy lilt, sway and gentle undulation that's often associated with slower bossa nova tracks. It's really more of a string-laden, stripped down (almost truly acoustic) arrangement, and what makes it stand out among Mariah's vast remix discography is less about it being superior to most but more so because of its rarity, which in turn makes it memorable.

Re: New vocabulary (95,267) (95,275) by Bill from the UK Haha. I've been trying since 1999 to use "delectable" in a sentence. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 17:58)

Chadwick Boseman (95,274) by Terna from Nigeria My spirits were brought down this morning, logging into social media to see this news, it was the first thing I saw actually. It's funny how these celebrities who are under the spotlight for the most part of their lives still go through stuff like this suffering in silence, to think he was already sick in [Black Panther], goes to show we really don't know and can't say looking from the outside in. May he rest in perfect peace. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 17:55)

Re: Dear Delulons (95,253) (95,273) by lil star from untied states There's a interesting little doc where they talk about Mariah's voice that I think anyone who is interested or debates the voice should watch. They give good insight as to what she was good at and what she wasn't and unhealthily habits she has. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 17:29)

Re: New vocabulary (95,267) (95,272) by TJ from Norway It's 31 days till September 29th. Just saying. It's my birthday and you all should mark that date for more than one reason. Haha. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 13:45)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,262) (95,271) by Bill from the UK In fairness, there is an awful lot of material that hasn't been released before if the tracklisting is real. The three b sides, whilst most of us have them on singles, fans have been screaming for them to be more readily available than they are, especially Slipping Away. Personally I'm looking forward to having them all together. As for All In Your Mind Take 2, I'm holding out hope of a deluxe 30th edition of the debut that will feature demo recordings and alternate takes. That would be an amazing way to end MC30, by going right back to where it all began. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 09:23)

Re: Butterfly Bossa Nova Remix (95,266) (95,270) by Bill from the UK Yep, one of the best mixes she ever did and in my top ten for sure. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 09:15)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,269) by Warr-en-Peace from United States One thing that could point to the track list being pure speculation is that Save The Day is listed as "Save The Day (with Laury...)" whereas we know from the official release of the song that it appears as "Save The Day (with Ms. Lauryn Hill)" on the album - note the addition of Ms. Therefore, we know this is an incorrect detail on the "leaked" track listing. Not to also point out that anyone can create and rename a list of audio files on a computer and make it look like something "leaked". I wouldn't pay this track list much attention. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 09:06)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,261) (95,268) by TJ from Norway Agree. I was hoping for some real "unreleased" stuff. Fingers crossed. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 09:04)

New vocabulary (95,267) by Bobby A from United States I wonder what new vocabulary words are we going to learn on The Rarities. Lol. 33 days until October 2nd. 29 days until September 29. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 03:31)

Butterfly Bossa Nova Remix (95,266) by Brad from USA Just expressing that I really enjoy this remix. I wasn't previously aware of this remix. Thanks. Enjoy. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 00:48)

Re: Butterfly EPs and recap (95,250) (95,265) by Korey2 from United Stated Please don't discredit your hard work sir. I was already wondering if we would get to see your recap... and gratefully we did. Thanks once again for taking the time to do so. Hope you have a streaming delightful weekend. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 00:40)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,264) by enwar00 from usa Ok I'm stoked for this. It seems pretty accurate, and the only differences from what I had gathered is Can You Hear Me? I had as the second track, and either Hypnotized or Here We Go Round Again as the first track. Also, I had Mesmerized as track 12. I was also unsure of tracks 5, 6, and 15 and thought maybe they would be Ecstasy, Panic The City and The Crave Song. I guess we shall see. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 00:36)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,261) (95,263) by enwar00 from usa I am extremely happy that Do You Think Of Me, Everything Fades Away, and Slipping Away are being included on this album. I prefer them over an alternate take of All In Your Mind. Since people are wanting that hopefully she'll put that on an expanded or deluxe version of the debut album or something of that nature. Who knows what else may be in store. (Saturday 29 August 2020; 00:25)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,262) by cBerr from Canada I can't even. If that is the tracklist - I'm out. I will not get taken by the bait and switch again. She said on GMA, and I quote: "Basically I found stuff in my vault, that I had either started to work on a long time ago and never released, or that I wanted to finish mixing or whatever but, they are songs that have not been previously released." Again, "not been previously released". That is all I have to say. BTW, since it's still technically part of the same point - does anyone think the Underneath The Stars video will ever see the light of day or were we just being trolled? (Saturday 29 August 2020; 00:11)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,260) (95,261) by Edward from USA That track-list looks real, but if it were so, where did "All In Your Mind, Take 2" be? Why tease us with it? I don't need 'Everything Fades Away", it was already on a CD and easily available. At least "Do You Think Of Me" and "Slipping Away" were B-sides. (Friday 28 August 2020; 23:25)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,260) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Hope this is true. Yup, I saw this make the rounds last week as well. And if there's anything I have learned in the last decade, that's to never underestimate redditors. That's why groups such as the Reddit Bureau of Investigation exist. Good enough to unearth solve decades-long cold criminal cases and mysteries better than proper authorities, I'm guessing perhaps at least a few lambs are there, and if there's anyone more than capable of leaking the tracklist, it's them. (Friday 28 August 2020; 19:32)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,259) by Stacey from USA Sad Yours ft JT isn't there. But if this is accurate, pretty good tracklisting. (Friday 28 August 2020; 18:26)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) (95,258) by Leo from LAMBville I don't believe "I Pray" would end up on 'The Rarities' as if everyone remembers Mariah let that little kid record and perform it on the Oprah show back in the day. Paul Robbins, recorded and performed it, I remember feeling how amazing it would have been if Mariah did the opening lyrics Lord I pray That in my lifetime There will come a day It gives me goosebumps.

Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,257) by Bill from the UK Saw this go by on Reddit. Think the track list is all but confirmed now. The ordering is incorrect here in some cases, but I've seen these titles crop up on most speculative lists. Hypnotized, Can You Hear Me, Crave and the original Loverboy are what I am most excited for. (Friday 28 August 2020; 16:53)

Re: Butterfly EPs and recap (95,254) (95,256) by Bill from the UK Haha. Not sure I could manage that job, but I certainly would happily work as her archivist and compilation/EP/remix consultant (for free of course). (Friday 28 August 2020; 15:58)

Re: Vision Of Love EP (95,252) (95,255) by Bill from the UK Correct Will. Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, I Don't Wanna Cry, Can't Let Go, I'll Be There, If It's Over, Hero, Without You, Endless Love, All I Want for Christmas Is You, Joy to the World, Open Arms, and Forever are all EP-less singles currently. No remixes were commissioned for Vision of Love, I'll Be There, If It's Over, Without You and Forever, so that makes sense. Open Arms and Hero only had their Spanish versions. However, Love Takes Time, I Don't Wanna Cry, and Can't Let Go had radio versions released on the singles at the time. Up until now I haven't included Love Takes Time's single version on my list because it is so barely different it is probably just a different mix rather than an official alternative version. For those interested, the version released on the UK commercial singles pushes the whistle register at the end of the bridge way into the back of the mix, whereas on the album version it is much more prominent. I'm hoping the Christmas tracks have their own EPs soon. I agree a Vision of Love EP with the live versions from Thanksgiving, MSG and the Medley from the debut album would have been good.

Re: Butterfly EPs and recap (95,250) (95,254) by tadatorao from japan Obviously Bill should've been the one replacing Stella as MC's manager. (Friday 28 August 2020; 15:27)

Re: Dear Delulons (95,236) (95,253) by Randy from USA One of the best posts on here ever. I love MC and want her to win. That doesn't mean she will never strike out during the game. (Friday 28 August 2020; 14:07)

Vision Of Love EP (95,252) by Will from Australia So I'm going through Spotify making my own best of #MC12 playlist and I realise that there's no EP for VOL? Is that because there were no remixes? I would've taken the demo version and live performances, help me Bill. (Friday 28 August 2020; 13:18)
