Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (95,005) by enwar00 from usa
That's what I was thinking too, something prominent about how they used the sample.

Mariah on GMA (95,004) by ADAM from USA
I am in utter ans complete shock. Cannot believe how great she performed. Her voice was in perfect form - warm, full, round - and in record condition. Her breathes were natural and her voice not nasal. I will say it's in her top 5 performances ever. Maybe it's just me, but I felt her love and emotion and gratitude in every note and inflection. This was her most genuine performance to date. It really comes across she loves her fans, and perhaps her fans saved her. So proud and happy to have witnessed this incredible moment. I'm so glad she's around to take in all the love.

Panties Perpetually In A Bunch (95,003) by John from USA
No other person on here seems to be upset about everything and have all the time in the world to pick fights than Andrew. Seems having arguments here is what makes him feel alive and find meaning in his sad existence.

I hope someone should gather all of Andrew's comments on here and make a compilation of sorts. It should be entitled...

"Panties Perpetually In A Bunch": A compilation of comments on mcarchives.com from none other than Andrew, a.k.a. UK's Male Karen.

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (95,002) by Todd from Sydney, Australia
So... a Mariah Carey song with JD squeaking "you know who this is" and Lauryn Hill saying "one time, one time"? I kid, I kid. Looking forward to hearing it.

No Andrew, he's correct. Fugees sample.

You sound like you are lying. Please provide evidentiary support. Also, answer this: should people who are actively lying be banned?

European release? (94,996) by TJ from Norway
15 dollars turned into 65 when shipping and taxes was added. That's too expensive. I hope it will be released in Europe too.

The Honest Vocal Coach GMA vid (94,995) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
Yessss. I love The Honest Vocal Coach I've been watching her forever. Her name is fitting, because she is always honest. Watching her cover the GMA performances was so fun. Gave me chills all over again. So great to see others that can appreciate how her voice has aged.
Check it out here.

Re: GMA (94,978) (94,994) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
My previous post was solely on her interview. I loved her energy and even vulnerability in it.

I hadn't seen the performance yet when I posted that. I loved the performance as well. It was beautiful, I loved the piano, and it seems like she is singing into the song, not singing outwardly trying to show the world something. She loves her catalogue and it shows. She so deserves this moment

Lauryn Hill (94,993) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City)
The song Save The Day will only feature Lauryn Hill’s vocals using the hook to the Fugees classic remake of Killing Me Softly. So if anyone was expecting anything else sorry for the disappointment. For me I am anxious to hear the full song before I reserve my full judgement.

Re: The Rarities (94,989) (94,992) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
rar·i·ty /ˈrerədē/
noun
the state or quality of being rare.
Similar:
uncommonness
singularity
uniqueness
scarcity
scarceness
sparseness

So, as I stated, it's a quality. Unreleased tracks are not individually uncommon or, perhaps, not in abundance. This definition does not, or prima facie, seem to apply.

noun
a rare thing, especially one having particular value.
plural noun: rarities
Similar: collector's item

Collectors items? They're not that either.

The title is stupid. It has reached the point where Mariah has too many questionable titles.

I like "Chrysalis" a lot. But Jade just suggested "The Vault" and I think that wins hands down.

Tokyo Dome being a "rarity"? We are playing fast and loose with facts and the English language, here.

Brad (94,991) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City)
She has renting a home in the Hamptons for at least the last month. But she still owns her TriBeCa penthouse. She has been there during the quarantine as well.

Re: The Rarities (94,972) (94,990) by Bill from the UK
If the new album does indeed feature the demos either before being signed or the demo songs recorded for the first iteration of the debut album, then a more fitting title would have been "Chrysalis", for the whole pre-Butterfly theme.

But saying that, it goes with the theme of other compilations: The Ballads, The Remixes, The Rarities.

Going from the GMA interview the album will be a good accompaniment to the book. Also I must say her performance of Close My Eyes was beautiful, and I loved how she changed up Vision of Love during the instrumental break.

Re: The Rarities (94,972) (94,989) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
That's interesting. When I look up the word, this is the first thing that pops up, from Oxford Languages dictionary:
rar·i·ty /ˈrerədē/
noun
the state or quality of being rare.
Similar:
uncommonness
singularity
uniqueness
scarcity
scarceness
sparseness
a rare thing, especially one having particular value.
plural noun: rarities
Similar: collector's item
Seems very fitting to me.

Rarities / GMA (94,988) by Terna from Nigeria
It's such an exciting time to be a Mariah Carey fan right now. This new compilation "The Rarities" is just what the Lambily and the rest of the world needs right now. I followed the link to Amazon music and there [are] so many tracks. Such a treat Watching her perform "Vision of Love" a song she's sung a million times and still inject new life into its interpretation was a breath of fresh air.

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,970) (94,987) by Stacey from USA
Yeah I don't care for Lauryn Hill. Not so much the music, but because her music reminds me of a time in my life, people I'd like to forget. But I guess I have to make an exception, lol.

Where in the world is Mariah Carey (94,985) by Brad from USA
Do we know where Mariah is living lately? Recent pics/videos don't seem to be her Manhattan home. I was thinking maybe she bought or is renting a home upstate? (The one on Instagram a few weeks ago where she had the sunflower in her hair.) Was just curious. Thanks.

GMA performance (94,984) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Ugh. Some truth bombs:

1. Badly lipped
2. Overly engineered
3. Nasal/scratched vocals
4. Shoulder shrugging
5. Terrible hair
6. Overweight
7. Weird positioning for the "good side"

This was tragic.

Save the Day (94,983) by Brad from USA
Looking forward to finally hearing this song on Friday. It seems like The Rarities album is almost a double album with the undisclosed tracks and live performance tracks of known/hit songs? She seemed good today on GMA, though the songs were previously recorded (clearly) it was nice to have her perform a song like Close My Eyes for a broader audience. Be safe and well.

Save The Day (94,982) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Wooooooo another Jermaine Dupri collaboration. Need more of them in our lives like we need more CoViD-19 in our lives.

Mariah on GMA (94,981) by Randy from USA
So I watched MC on YouTube since I slept in this morning. I gotta say she looks and sounds great. Here's my issue. I never feel comfortable giving her credit for a good performance because I'm always thinking she lip synced it. I made peace a long time ago with MC's voice suffering irreparable damage at some point and for whatever reason she still writes and sings with an engineer's help to make it seem like she's still the greatest vocalist of our generation. I've learned to love MC through the rasp and deception. I want her to win. There's just always a small part of me that wants her to be honest with us and with herself. But I'm sure die-hard delusional will say "she sung live" or "she didn't sing live because she was nervous there was no audience, her implants were inhibiting her from breathing, the air conditioning was on, the heat was on, her nodules were inflamed, her nodules were laid off, dem babies were sleeping in the next room and she didn't want to wake them, her voice is social distancing or she was campaigning for Biden and trying to sequence The Rarities so she was distracted".
