Re: A grower I guess (95,090) (95,101) by Norman from USA
Agreed.

What I really want (95,100) by Edward from USA
Tracks I don't want to see on "The Rarities":

01. Everything Fades Away
02. Slipping Away
03. Do You Think Of Me
04. Do You Know Where You're Going To
05. There For Me
06. There Goes My Heart
07. I Know What You Want
08. Miss You
09. Sprung
10. Secret Love
11. Heat
12. 4Real4Real

If it was put on a physical CD at some point, I don't want it on "The Rarities". That would leave space for lots of great music from the 90's and the 2000's. "Help Me Make It" wasn't ever released digitally or physically, "Yours" with Justin Timberlake would also be great. "Kick Rocks", "Reach for The Sky", "Rainbow Interlude" full song, "Misty Moon" from that Japanese commercial, the potential to kill us all with lots of a great music is endless.

Re: There For Me (95,096) (95,099) by Bill from the UK
Well it's not my favourite either, but it's one of the few songs released that is not available on any album, so thought it would be included in the compilation, for completeness.

I think because it kinda sucks.

Re: There For Me (95,096) (95,097) by Bobby A from United States
True. I rarely think about it. Jody McBrayer of the Christian group Avalon does not do a better version of it on his solo album.

Re: There For Me (95,095) (95,096) by Hector from Mexico
There For Me is horrible.

There For Me (95,095) by Bill from the UK
I wonder why There For Me has not been included in The Rarities. Going by the songwriting credits, there is no Carey/Warren/Foster reference to indicate its inclusion.

Re: The Rarities (JPN edition) (95,093) (95,094) by Edward from USA
You can't read Japanese? Shame.

The Rarities (JPN edition) (95,093) by cBerr from Canada
According to Amazon.jp, the Japanese edition will come with a BluRay disc of the Tokyo Dome show.

Does anyone know where one can be ordered aside from auction sites like eBay? Or does anyone know how to adjust the language setting on Amazon's Japan site so I can understand what I am ordering? Thanks.

Re: He should be banned (95,080) (95,092) by cBerr from Canada
While only the webmaster can speak to what constitutes getting banned, nobody should chalk anyone else's posts up to "mental health issues".

We have had multiple users on this message board talk openly about depression during these times of lockdowns and quarantining - so to use the term so nonchalantly is just dangerous and wrong.

Re: STD is epic (95,089) (95,091) by Bobby A from United States
Yes it is. I think I figured out why Save The Day is arranged the way it is. First, the strings and slow introduction represents the racial and equality in the world and how everyone was affected by it. Second, the rap like first verse is similar to the other social justice rap songs that came out in the spring and MJ's Black and White. The Lauryn Hill sample represents a cry out for change. The ending is MC's plea to us to make change for the betterment of us all.

A grower I guess (95,090) by Brad from USA
I'm fairness to Save the Day, I like it a bit more after playing it repeatedly. I personally don't think it benefits from the sample. I always prefer more developed lyrics. The strings intro isn't necessary. I guess I would have edited it differently. I don't mind it but don't sense it will go anywhere. Enjoy it for what it is.

STD is epic (95,089) by Lafa from Sweden
Save The Day is completely epic.
(Friday 21 August 2020; 21:21)
Save the Day (95,088) by Hector from Mexico
I was excited but I didn't like the song. Anyway, I will buy The Rarities album.

Re: Save The Day (95,085) (95,087) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
Yay.

The Rarities (95,086) by Ethan from United States
Based on the Wiki page, we can assume that there won't be the following songs:
1. Where are you Christmas?
2. Do you know where you're going to? (I'm glad it's not included)
3. A Diane Warren co-written song (rumored to be a power ballad)

If it's in chronological order, then track 6 might be from the Daydream era that didn't make the cut since Always Be My Baby was such a strong song. Probably a R&B/Pop type of song. I think track 15 is a powerful ballad and might be one of the last songs they worked on just like how she saved Lead The Way in the 90s for the Glitter soundtrack.

I was hoping for a song from Babyface since Never Forget You and Melt Away are instant hits at first listen. Maybe there's still on in the vault somewhere. But based on the length listed on the Wiki page, you guys might be right about some of the songs on the album.

Save The Day (95,085) by Bobby A from United States
It is currently number 6 on iTunes. That's a good sign. Right?

Caution (95,084) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
I was laying out by the lake the other day, streaming the Caution album. I had a thought... if Caution was the debut album by Mariah I would be an instant fan. Like, it is so slick and good and addictive. If she was a new artist coming out with Caution, she would be a water oasis in the midst of a musical desert.

What other albums do you all think would make you fall for her if it were her first album? (I hope my wording is clear.)

Save The Day (95,083) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
So catchy. "If he won't, then she won't and they won't..." I love it. Needed this, the production and sample makes this sound like a familiar classic. So much more about the vibe than the acrobatics, it's such a bop for me. Hope you all are enjoying the single.

Be Nice or Leave (95,082) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
This is not a difficult concept at all. Any decent person can easily adhere to this. There are many ways to disagree without being nasty or toxic. Let's respect the space by respecting their main rule.

I am loving this era for Mariah. Caution was a real gem and it has definitely refreshed her as an artist. I am so excited for the rest of this year to roll out.

Re: Did you forget (95,078) (95,081) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada
I really want that version of "All in your mind" so I can stop playing the vault clip of it on loop.

He should be banned (95,080) by Edward from USA
I will never understand why somebody would come out of obscurity to post for the first time on this board to complain about Andrew and not about the thousands upon thousands of positive lists and these-could've been singles on this board. Well, some came out drooling over how cute Bill from the UK is when he first posted his picture, and some peed in their pants of excitement when Todd from Australia posted his. If you don't like what Andrew has to say, there are a gazillion of other posts in here. This board won't ever be your Mary Poppins' Utopic Garden. It's so easy to just skip posts, I do it on a regular basis, and I don't have to keep regurgitating how much I hate this or that poster. For that, I use Whatsapp, lol. Focus on the new music and you'll be happy. If you have a crush on Andrew, well, I think you all might have to get a room, even though I don't think Andrew is into orgies or anything like that.

Save The Day (95,079) by Jono from USA
I wanted to love it, but in the end I'm kind of indifferent to it. I knew that getting my hopes up of having a Mariah/Lauryn "collab" would backfire. The issue is the production, it's just too messy. It's like Infinity - the song doesn't know what it wants to be and where it wants to go. The intro sounds misplaced and should have been cut. The beat that kicks in should have come in right after the strings in the beginning. I do love the interpolation of "Killing Me Softly" as it's one of the most gorgeous melodies in music history; and they sound absolutely killer together. Maybe the song is a grower, but first impressions are just meh.

Did you forget (95,078) by Edward from USA
People here seem to have forgotten about the snippet she let out of the vault from "All In Your Mind, Take 2". I'm looking forward to listening to that one, she's definitely going to include it in the track-list. I don't think she should waste space on the disk with tracks that, even though were not on album releases, at least got released as b-sides and bonus tracks on international releases.

Track 13 (95,077) by Myles from CT, USA
[Seems] to be [Lullaby of birdland] per the credits. George Shearing David Weiss.
