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. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:42)

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".

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,976) (94,980) by tadatorao from japan Apart from the curly hair, she is wearing a dress resembling the one on her debut album to sing VOL at GMA. She's on fire in this era. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:20)

Andrew (94,979) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Andrew, Mariah has a right to name her art whatever she chooses. Everything does not need our approval in order for her to do it. I understand that you may not like certain things about MC, however just because you do not like it, that does not mean that you should rain on other people’s joy who are enjoying the moments. Again we should be thankful that she is giving her fans these moments, and gifts while she is still able because some of her contemporaries, and artists she has admired, and have been compared to are no longer here to bless their fans with the same experience, and gifts. I am just going to give MC her flowers while she is here to receive, and smell them, and the things that do not peak my interests I will not touch. Maybe you can do the same.

GMA (94,978) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Beautiful, healthy, calm. She looked amazing and she looked so comfortable. This is the energy I love to see her in. Being at home and working on these projects has grounded her so much and I love to see it. I hope for many more moments of confident Mariah like this one. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:14)

Re: Name game (94,966) (94,977) by Edward from USA Randy, I don't know if as much as you do, but I do also love "Right To Dream". And "Help Me Make It" of course. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 16:32)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,975) (94,976) by Bill from the UK Lord take me to the king. This is too much. Here is MC's interview on GMA for those of you that missed it. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 16:11)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,956) (94,975) by tadatorao from japan Hi Bill, according to Sony Japan, the demo tape is really included in The Rarities. Not sure to what extend but we are finally going to listen to and own some pre-debut materials. Our collection is going to be so complete. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:44)

Good times (94,974) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) With all of these good things that MC continues to bless us with, it is certainly good times to be a fan. I am eternally grateful that MC is here among us to share in these amazing moments, and blessings. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:33)

Re: Rarities album (94,971) (94,973) by tadatorao from japan Sony Music Japan just announced that there will be a 3 discs edition of physical release. Two CDs plus a high resolution Blu-ray of the Tokyo Dome concert. So our dream does come true. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:31)

The Rarities (94,972) by Andrew from the United Kingdom The title is stupid. It doesn't even seem to make any sense. A "rarity" seems to be a quality, like, "to see Mariah live is a rarity" or "having pizza in the week is a rarity". To say that "the Tokyo Dome concert is a rarity" is, firstly, not true, and secondly, a strange sentence. An unreleased song is a rarity? Nope. I don't think it is. Mariah used to be so good at naming things. Every release title since The Emancipation of Mimi has been bizarre (save for maybe Caution) - and you can add the memoir title to that list. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:09)

Re: Rarities album (94,968) (94,971) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great news. I was hoping for a CD release, but wasn't sure if it will happen. Can we talk about this beautiful album cover? It reminds me of the Daydream cover so I absolutely love it. It looks classy and beautiful. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 14:02)

Lauryn Hill (94,970) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Well I might have to eat my words. I've spent most of my life actively disliking Lauryn Hill. Something about her voice just makes me squirm. But who knows - I couldn't stand Bone Thugs but then "Breakdown" became one of my favourites. If this carries on, next year she'll release a song with Katy Perry or Sam Smith. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 13:41)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,962) (94,969) by Bobby A from United States Wow. This is a dream come true. She really has blessed us with some gems to end 2020. I can't wait. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 12:50)

Rarities album (94,968) by Bobby A from United States It is true. Our wish has come true. October 2nd is the release day. This is a very smart move to release songs that the world has never heard before when her voice was a beast. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 12:45)

Re: Name game (94,966) (94,967) by Bill from the UK I love how no one likes it except you lol. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 11:39)

Re: Name game (94,954) (94,966) by Randy from USA I have a Right To Dream that y'all will love that song someday. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 11:07)

Save the Day (94,965) by Lee from UK This comprehensive list of unreleased songs by Mariah lists a track called "Save The Day" which was allegedly written and produced by Mariah and Jermaine Dupri in 2012 for charity. Could it possibly be the same track from the Rarities? (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 10:40)

Lauren Hill (94,964) by Lee from UK Mariah is reported to have written a song with Lauren Hill during the Rainbow era called Crystal Ball. I wonder if this is the same song as Save the Day? (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 09:44)

The Rarities out October 2nd (94,963) by Stacey from USA Just in time for my birthday on October 4th. [Webmaster: My birthday is 5 October.] (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 08:40)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,956) (94,962) by Bill from the UK Okay so MC just Instagrammed that it is out October 2nd. Amazon have it listed and it contains a new 2020 track called "Save the Day", the Tokyo Dome Daydream concert, and 14 other songs. It feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 08:09)

Rarities (94,961) by Lee from UK So in October we are getting some Tokyo Dome tracks in addition to a track with Lauren Hill. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 08:07)

Mariah & Santa: A true story (94,959) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa When I was 10 years old, Mariah released Emotions. I had been in love with her voice and her lyrics since I was 9 and heard Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, and Someday (this one I loved soooo much, I'll never get the image of her in those jeans out of my head). So here we are, Christmastime '91 and I really really wanted the Emotions tape for Christmas. I was a smart kid that asked a lot of questions, so the Santa Claus myth was debunked years ago for me. So I had already made my Christmas list and it was full, each of us kids only had a certain amount of things we could put on our lists. Also, I was worried that the album would be considered too adult-oriented for me at that age. So I never told not even 1 person that I wanted Emotions, not a soul. So it's the holidays and my older sister at the last minute decides to take me with her to her job's holiday party. It was a last minute decision and they let me know I was going just an hour before the party. I get there and they are handing out gifts to each of the kids. So sweet. And of course, with my luck I got the smallest gift. But I didn't feel so bad when I considered that they really didn't know I was coming probably. So I opened this small rectangular gift... and I literally could have died. I was speechless. I couldn't even speak or believe my eyes. It was the Emotions cassette. I think I told every single adult at that party how grateful I was, I could not believe that the impossible actually happened. So this made me question so many things, but mainly my disbelief in Santa Claus. No one knew I wanted it, I wasn't even supposed to be at that party, how the heck did this even happen. So for a brief couple of years, Santa became a little more real again. Oddly enough, after all these years I never made a connection between my Mariah story and her Queen of Christmas identity. This happened before Merry Christmas so I never put the two together until thinking of a title for this post. I guess I could just say, how foreshadowing. Thanks for reading, I hope some of you get the magic, this is one of my favorite childhood memories. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 00:44)
