Here We Go Around Again (95,530) by Bill from the UK For those who don't mind being spoiled ahead of the album release, MC posted a longer clip of Here We Go Around Again on Insta. Honestly, hearing fresh 1990/debut era vocals is just astounding. From what I've heard this song sounds so, so good. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 08:56)

Re: Save the Day (95,525) (95,529) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Ooooh the comparison to I Don't is a bit rough innit? That was a visual assault. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 08:42)

Re: Save the Day (95,525) (95,528) by Bill from the UK The only backseat of car video worth watching is Emotions. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 07:51)

Every song (95,527) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I'm gearing up to spend 14 days in hotel quarantine. 14 days with no outside. So I've decided at one point I will listen to every single song Mariah has recorded (even the shit ones) in the hope I rediscover some old loves. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 07:12)

Here We Go Around Again (95,526) by enwar00 from usa Here We Go Around Again has to be the most 80s sounding song I've ever heard from Mariah. In a dated 80s kind of way. But I'm still here for it and will dance and bop to it on the most 80s kind of way. I'm so excited for The Rarities. And especially because Do You Think Of Me, Everything Fades Away, and Slipping Away will finally have a home and be more accessible. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 03:09)

Save the Day (95,525) by Lee from UK This music video feels like "I Don't" crossed with "I Want to Know What Love Is". I'm confused about how this song has been linked with a tennis tournament. The lyrics just do not match in anyway. Everything about this song and the video seems so haphazard. Remember when Mariah said she couldn't bear to make another video in denim shorts? I wish she'd apply that to hanging out in the back of cars. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 23:38)

Save The Day video (95,524) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Not too much to say about the video. I thought she was going to be overly sexy, but I'm happily surprised that she wasn't, and I loved the curly hair (Saturday 12 September 2020; 22:21)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,522) (95,523) by Bill from the UK My sentiments exactly. What bright spark at Sony selected the album versions of Breakdown and Sweetheart when perfectly the good Mo Thugs and Story remixes were available is beyond me. And Crybaby should have been kicked off for I Still Believe/Pure Imagination. But who am I? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 20:08)

The Rarities tracklist (95,522) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines As fans of course we want her entire unreleased catalog ideally dropped all at once in one perfect package. But of course Mariah's also a businesswoman and cannot give everything away. Also, maybe she's just not comfortable releasing all of them yet. And of course there's the technical side of things such as licensing, etc. that may complicate stuff. Yes, having previously released b-sides on there taking up space that should have been allotted to actual unreleased material is a little disappointing, but on the other hand it's actually nice that they now have a compilation to belong to. It makes Mariah's lesser known music more accessible to the public, which is the goal. And hey, at least it's not as bad as putting the album versions of Crybaby, Sweetheart, and Breakdown on The Remixes just because they happen to have some rapping in them. I'm just glad there are more unreleased tracks than I expected. Half of the album - that isn't too bad. She's gotta save some for future compilations. Besides, I'm just grateful that Mariah is actually releasing this stuff while she's still alive. At least she still has control over what she wants to put out. That's way better than what happened to Michael Jackson, where I doubt he would have even allowed to make public much of the stuff released in his posthumous discography, let alone have them be horribly reworked by producers he himself possibly would not have chosen to work with. Should there be a Rarities 2, at least we know there still are old songs that can still make it in there along with other bonus tracks from her latter albums. Maybe not as exciting or impressive quality-wise, but it's still Mariah, so we will still lap that up. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 19:28)

Re: Save The Day video (95,519) (95,521) by Bobby A from United States You all should know by now that Ms. Mariah Carey is going to do whatever she wants to do. Tommy is the reason she is like that. I think if he wasn't so controlling early in her career, she would actually listen to other people and make better visual video choices. And you know her baby Brian ain't going to say a word because he is living the good life. I wish that I had a superstar boyfriend paying for everything. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 18:21)

Re: Glitter (95,518) (95,520) by Bobby A from United States It is a shame. You are so right, Bill. Treacle on YouTube told me this morning that maybe it is because Virgin won't pay to have Glitter produced on vinyl like Sony is paying to have the 16 other albums produced on vinyl. I am so glad that I scooped up a Glitter DJ promo vinyl copy last November. It is going to be a nice Christmas to decorate my study with all of MC's 18 vinyl records on the wall. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 18:16)

Re: Save The Day video (95,516) (95,519) by Edward from USA Don't judge too soon. She's renaming the song to "I'm feeling Myself". (Saturday 12 September 2020; 15:18)

Re: Glitter (95,509) (95,518) by Bill from the UK I was thinking the same. My theory is when she recently acquired the rights, maybe it was for digital/streaming only? Maybe she didn't obtain the rights to distribute a physical version? It's a shame because a bright pink double vinyl for Glitter would have ruled haha. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 15:06)

Re: 9/11 (95,512) (95,517) by Mò from South Africa Hilton, I could not have said it better than you. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 15:04)

Re: Save The Day video (95,508) (95,516) by Mò from South Africa I cringed from the little I saw. Did not want to see more, which is unlike me. I closed the clip. I like your front line covid concept (it would have matched the message of the song). (Saturday 12 September 2020; 09:56)

Re: Save The Day video (95,496) (95,515) by Brad from USA I agree that the car/vanity angle of the video is quite disappointing. That said, I think it does have to be looked at as a commercial for the USTA more than as a creative production. She is sitting between the two tennis stadiums so I guess it makes sense for her to be in a car, like in a parking lot? But yeah my dead cat could've come up with a better concept for sure. On the flip side, it exposes the song to a broader audience than just us lambs and hopefully Mariah was well paid for it. Sooo. Enjoy it for what it is. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 08:29)

Re: Save The Day video (95,508) (95,514) by Jamie from UK Let’s wait until we see the full video first, we only saw a snippet. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 07:00)

Avatar (95,513) by Edward from USA Eric, why isn't my avatar picture uploading? [Webmaster: Maybe because it's not the right format? It must be a jpg, gif or png.] (Saturday 12 September 2020; 06:26)

9/11 (95,512) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Here is something I do not know: where was Mariah on that day? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 04:45)

Save The Day music video (95,511) by T from USA Here's the thing, Mariah is this amazing songwriter and that's what she wants to get across to the general public. But when she makes videos where she's caressing herself in a car it takes away from the song itself. Music is as much a visual medium these days and it's almost like we "see" before we "hear". And then there's a disconnect because it subconsciously gives the impression that someone else writes the songs and Mariah is just the eye candy. How will she pull off lyrics like "And it's too divided, too deep to understand" while she's trying to look sexy? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 01:11)

Re: Save The Day video (95,508) (95,510) by Bobby A from United States Darling, MC has to show off her recent weight lost while being in quarantine. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 00:29)

Glitter (95,509) by Bobby A from United States I just thought about why wasn't Glitter made a available Wednesday as a remastered vinyl? Does anybody know why? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 00:25)

Re: Save The Day video (95,500) (95,508) by 123 from USA I saw the clip. Horrible. If they must shoot a video, why the same concept that has already been used 1000 times. Riding on top of a car with sexy poses for 3 minutes. Not the biggest fan of the song, but it has a great message. She could have shown essential workers risking their lives like postal workers, nurses, doctors. Shown female athletes striving to win the game. Had Mariah March in one of the protests with her Covid mask on or at least show footage of these protests. Next single please. Is this even a single? It hasn’t been sent to radio. Mariah camp, I implore you to have better video concepts, if only for the nostalgia. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a decent video. (How much could have Dreamlover cost? Dancers and a hot air balloon.) (Friday 11 September 2020; 23:58)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,498) (95,507) by Stacey from USA Dang it. Well thank you kind sir for the compliment. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:17)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,506) by Stacey from USA I hear you. Three tracks (Do You Think, Everything Fades Away, Slipping Away) are taking up space that could be used for other unreleased songs. And the second disc being devoted to a concert kinda irks me too. I'm sure she has enough unreleased stuff to fill up a second disc. That said I agree with Randy and Edward. We've gotten so much rare stuff lately I can't complain. I collected her CDs, promo CDs, etc for years up until 2007. I had the elusive Butterfly Meme Remixes promo from Brazil. So most of these remixes I've heard. Still though for everyone to have access to these mixes is great. Cheers. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:16)
