Fave five The Rarities songs (96,000) by Lainsky from Philippines
In the 90's, the artist normally releases 4-6 singles from an album depending on the record label too. On that note, what are your five favorites from this MC30 rare collection? Here are my fave five singles I wish the world would hear and listen to.

1. Out Here On My Own (still, can't get over)
2. Mesmerized (the title do its job)
3. Cool On You (infectious - do the coat, kick rocks, eat dirt)
4. Can You Hear Me (soulful Mariah)
5. Here We Go Around Again (old classic vibe you'll never get tired of listening)

If there will be B-side, that would be I Pray. For the fifth day in a row, this album is on repeat for at least 4-5x with volume almost in full lol. The neighbors definitely can hear it.

Stream stream steam The Rarities (95,999) by T from USA
Let's all stream The Rarities a lot more. She can't loose the first week to a Dolly Christmas album in October. Let's grab her the #18 spot. (Possibly even #17.)

Re: All I Live For (95,995) (95,998) by Aliya from Canada

Re: Guardian interview, reading between the lines (95,994) (95,997) by Slipping Butterfly from United States
So you skipped over her calling him family or how she liked him 14 years ago in the book. Her relationship is current, the book is about her past. They have lived together for 3 years and people still question their relationship because she doesn't talk about their relationship.

Same. I loved it instantly.

All I Live For (95,995) by T from USA
The Rarities is a great collection and All I Live For is absolutely the best.

Guardian interview, reading between the lines (95,994) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa
So in the interview, Mariah said "If it was a relationship that mattered, it's in the book. If not, it didn't occur."

This has me thinking of Tanaka. From the beginning of their "relationship" I figured it was just for show, not really a relationship. She mentioned him in the acknowledgements of the book in a "good friend" kinda way, but nothing else. She chooses her words wisely and I think the statement above is applicable, it didn't occur. Whatever their professional arrangement is, his energy is so positive and it seems to be working for them.

P.S. Counting on one hand: TM, DJ, LM, NC...

Re: The Meaning of Mariah Carey (95,952) (95,993) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I started to read the memoir too. The "wayward child" chapter is quite soul-stirring. I was thinking the whole evening about some things. To listen to "Petals" will be hard the next time. But I'm excited to read more. I like that the songs are included with explainings. Very interesting.

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,990) (95,992) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia
I think she dodged a bullet there, he's in the news in Australia at the moment for his involvement/knowledge of money laundering and criminal activity at his Australian casinos.

Re: The Guardian interview (95,983) (95,991) by Lady B from USA
It was so funny - she really seems relaxed and happy these days. It fills my heart as a fan.

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,986) (95,990) by enwar00 from usa
I promise I'm not making this up as part of this conversation and to play off what Mariah said, but I'd forgotten all about James Packer until reading his name today.

The Rarities Japan (95,989) by Bobby A from United States
It came today. Wow. It was shipped from Japan last Thursday and I received it on Monday. That is fastest time that I have ever received my CD shipped from Japan. The packaging is just beautiful. It comes in a box holding the 2-disc set and a separate case for the Blu-ray concert disc. The only negative thing is that the Blu-ray case doesn't have a cover or credits for the concert production. The concert picture is beautiful and sound is too. An added bonus is a small The Rarities postcard.

Discography (95,987) by Orry from Germany
Hi there, I hope you're doing pretty well? I know your homepage already more then a decade and I am thankful for it. Especially I love the detailed info about MC's discography. I know that you stopped doing it. That's a huge pity.

Can you tell me where you have gotten all these information from? I would like to make it for the last records to complete my collection. Many thanks in advance and have a good day. Much love.

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,984) (95,986) by Malcolm from Asia
Yes very glad this happened. Especially her not mentioning James Packer when it would have been a pivotal moment in her life since they were engaged. It's just a testament that all of it was just a play and a result of her involvement with the wicked witch. It was really the darkest and cheapest moment in her career that deserves to be forgotten.

The Rarities (95,985) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
The Rarities is actually the best album Mariah has released in years. I was a bit doubtful before this project with her memoires and an album, but Mariah proved me wrong. Haven't read the book yet, waiting for it to arrive, but I have listened to The Rarities non stop, and I absolutely love the album. When Mariah join forces with every Mariah there is, it's just overwhelming, it's so good you just couldn't imagine.

Oh, how lovely it is to be a lamb these days, it just don't ever end.

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,980) (95,984) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines
Imma take a page from her approach and not drop any names. I just love that she stuck to her guns and left out whoever did not contribute anything to the "meaning" of her life. Including them would have not only stirred up additional drama, it would also have, in a way, cheapened the final output.

I absolutely loved the interview, laughed all through it, so fun.

Clam linguine (95,982) by Bill from the UK
One thing I wish Mariah's memoir had contained is her father's clam sauce linguine recipe. The description her anticipation for the meal when she was a little girl (the cheese incident) was mouth watering. I would love to recreate it to his specifications.

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,980) (95,981) by Bill from the UK
Stella. Thank God she didn't go there. The Nightmare Era should never ever be revisited.

Memoir MIAs (95,980) by Lady B from USA
My favorite diss was of the folks she didn't even bother to put in the book. Those who likely wanted the attention but were merely a blip in her life and not worth the page time.

Who were you happy to see not in the book?

Re: The Rarities - booklet scans (95,974) (95,979) by Bill from the UK
They are on Mariah Network.

Re: The Rarities vinyl version (95,976) (95,978) by Bill from the UK
Sorry Bobby-A, I was thinking four sides rather than 4 LPs. You're right, it should be able to include the concert then.
