Ledisi covers Without You (95,408) by Bobby A from United States Ledisi covers Without You on her new album. She sings it just like MC. She hits all the high notes. Check it out. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 20:11)

Patricia Carey (95,407) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Based on the article from New York magazine unfortunately Mariah, and Mama Carey are not on the best of terms, and have been estranged for quite sometime. Mariah also said despite their issues she still provides for her mother as far as financial support. As far as the assistant living facility in Florida I am not too sure about that, but if that is what is needed due to her failing health who am I to pass judgment. Hopefully Mariah, and Mama Carey can make amends before it is too late. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 16:14)

Re: Do You Know (95,401) (95,406) by Edward from USA You need to decide, either Bill or Andrew. Don't be so greedy on these trying times. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 15:25)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,404) (95,405) by Edward from USA You've been very aggressive lately. I need to have a conversation with Eric. This abuse can't continue. We all know JLo can sing, she just doesn't like to show off. Her version of "Do You Know Where You're Going To" is a masterpiece. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 15:22)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,400) (95,404) by Stacey from USA I don't really care about who has the better accent, lol. My comments were a total dig at J-Lo's singing abilities or lack thereof. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 09:44)

Patricia Carey (95,403) by Bobby A from United States Is really true that Mariah and her mother have been estranged for years now? Any truth to Mariah moving Patricia into an assisted living facility in Florida because of failing health and in preparation for the media storm that is going to follow when Mariah's book comes out. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 03:21)

Article: Mariah Carey's brother: 5 fast facts you need to know (95,402) by TMG from USA It's incredibly sad with as much opportunity as there is bestowed for this family in the public eye that leadership just wasn't there for them to resolve their issues. You can't ever erase or replace the members of this family or its journey no matter how much money, fame or agenda those benefiting from its destruction exists. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 02:31)

Do You Know (95,401) by Bobby A from United States Where is Andrew this week? He has been awfully quiet this week. Lol. Anyway, here in Atlanta I am listening to Do You Know Where You Are Going To Bonita right now on the 16th floor of my Peachtree Street apartment. I am just having a ball dancing to this remix. This is why MC is the queen of remixes. I love the gifts she's given us today. I am so proud to be a fan. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 00:02)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,384) (95,400) by Edward from USA Hate to say it, but Jennifer's accent is definitely better, it has gotten better with time. Sometime you can't even tell she's a gringa. But the singing part, you're right, lol. (Friday 4 September 2020; 23:55)

Webmaster (95,399) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Thank you so much for all that you do here. I appreciate how swiftly the posts are up and just having this space in general. You do your job so well. It means a lot and I know that you don't have to do it. Just wanted to say a big thanks. (Friday 4 September 2020; 23:53)

Re: Do You Know... Bonita (95,396) (95,398) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I was so hoping someone would get it. (Friday 4 September 2020; 23:46)

Rainbow Era Remix EPs (95,397) by Bill from the UK Here are my hopes for the Rainbow EPs. Let's cross our fingers and toes that we get the complete set with nothing missed... though by recent trends there are likely to be some disappointments. Heartbreaker Radio Edit (often misprinted as "Album Version featuring Jay. Z", it has a shorter break between verses and axes one of the final choruses) Remix Remix Edit [P] (only available on a few promo CDs, this version cuts out the introduction) No Rap Version Junior's Club Mix Junior's Club Dub Junior's Hard Mix Love Hangover/Heartbreaker I think these were probably the last "great" remixes Mariah ever did. The Junior Vasquez "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" mixes were inspired, and remain a work out staple to this day. I will eat my hat if the Remix Edit appears. Thank God I Found You Make It Last Remix Make It Last Remix w/o Rap Make It Last Remix Instrumental Make It Last Remix Edit Make It Last Remix Edit w/o Rap Stargate Radio Edit Celebratory Mix I'd be interested to see if the Make It Last edits (both with and without rap) appear as Mariah seems to not be including edits of the mixes. I loved the Stargate Radio Edit, I think it's the best version. Sidenote: really hope they use the "twisty top" cover and not the "hat with braids" cover. Against All Odds Single Version (a.k.a. Westlife Version) Pound Boys Radio Edit Pound Boys Main Mix Pound Boys Deep Dub [P] Pound Boys Dub Backing Track [P] Instrumental The "Backing Track" appeared on a very rare Brazilian promo CD (899.929/2-495879), so it is unlikely this will appear. Not expecting the Instrumental to make it either. The Pound Boy mixes were on that rare Brazilian promo CD as well, but were more easily obtainable on the UK vinyl release. The Westlife version is a bit of car crash so wouldn't mind this not appearing and it remaining a Mariah only affair. Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) Radio Edit Morales Club Mix Edit Morales Club Mix Morales Instrumental Morales Revival Triumphant Mix Morales Revival Club Mix* [P] Some good Morales remixes here, especially hopeful that the Revival Club Mix appears as it has only ever been available on a French promo-only 12" up until now. Crybaby Radio Edit [P] I doubt this will appear, unless it is "double-a sided" with CTTA, like upon its release. A shame as this is a promo-only edit we probably won't see again. (Friday 4 September 2020; 23:18)

Re: Do You Know... Bonita (95,388) (95,396) by Bill from the UK I love this description, I know exactly what you mean. Something about it. That's why they have long been favourites of mine. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:50)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,392) (95,395) by Bill from the UK The strings are the best part about Honey. The give it that "James Bond" feel. Agree, the remix really suffers without them and it would have probably been the perfect version of the song had they been included. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:49)

#1s EPs and recap (95,394) by Bill from the UK Hello all. Bill's Weekly Remix EP Recap is back. Have you missed me? So wow, where do we start? Mariah went all out with some mega rare remixes for this round. The "Mariah En Espanol" EP was an unexpected surprise, and closed the gaps with Hero, Open Arms and My All having their Spanish versions released which were missed during their respective eras. Great to also see the promo-only remixes for Mi Todo, which are great, available commercially for the first time ever. And then Mariah went above and beyond with Do You Know Where You're Going To and the incredibly rare club mixes, only ever available on an extremely scarce South American promo picture disc previously. These are some of my most favoured mixes, and the instrumental break in the "bonita" versions is excellent. I Still Believe delivered with a stonking 13 versions, the only omissions being some edits and instrumentals. It bested the existing EP of 10 tracks, which should really now be retired to avoid "clogging up" Mariah's online streaming catalogue. Sweetheart also came through with the fantastic "pounding" remixes (good for the cross trainer), three of which had only ever been available on a promo vinyl release before. Mariah had included the regular album versions for the #1s EPs, my thought here is that as the "#1 to Crapfinity" album essentially replaced the 1998 release, the regular versions have been included. Really though, DYKWYGT is the only track in danger of being erased, as Sweetheart and I Still Believe both appeared on Mariah's Greatest Hits. Disappointing that When You Believe didn't get anything, albeit I did predict this as a slightly different TV Track and an Instrumental aren't exactly much to write home about, but it would have been nice to have had the live version from the Oscars included. As per previous posts, * denotes vinyl only. Promo only releases now available: Sweetheart (A Cappella) Sweetheart (M's More Bounce to the Ounce Vocal)* Sweetheart (M's Pounding Dub)* Sweetheart (M's Beats & Bounces Mix)* DYKWYGT (Mahogany Club) DYKWYGT (Mahogany Club Extended) DYKWYGT (Mahogany for Clubbers) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita Club) DYKWYGT (Mariah Bonita Club Edit) Below is a list of the remixes that did not make the cut, in addition to When You Believe mentioned above. As before, * denotes vinyl only, and [P] is a promotional only remix. Sweetheart (Radio Edit) Sweetheart (The Story Instrumental) Sweetheart (Instrumental) [P] I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Edit) I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Instrumental)* I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Edit) [P] I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Instrumental)* The EPs have been a bit sporadic with whether they include edits and instrumentals. I hope for when Thank God I Found You's turn rolls around (hopefully next week), that the Make It Last Instrumental is available, as this is just divine to listen to. Missed Remixes Log I Don't Wanna Cry (Radio Edit) [P] Medley (Prisoner/All In Your Mind/Someday) Can't Let Go (Edit) Can't Let Go (Edit - No Intro) [P] Make It Happen (Extended Version - Radio Edit) [P] Endless Love (Instrumental) Endless Love (Mariah Only) Endless Love (Luther Only) All I Want for Christmas Is You (So So Def Remix) All I Want for Christmas Is You (Extra Festive) All I Want for Christmas Is You (Super Festive) All I Want for Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix) All I Want for Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix Edit) All I Want for Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix Extended) Joy to the World (Celebration Mix) Joy to the World (Celebration Mix Edit) Joy to the World (Flava Mix) Joy to the World (Crash Dub Crash)* Joy to the World (Club Mix) Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (Radio Version) [P] Fantasy (Puffy's Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Dub) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Acapella)* Honey (Smooth Version No Intro) [P] Butterfly (Sambatterfly) [P] Butterfly (TV Track) [P] Butterfly (TV Track Short) [P] My All (Full Crew Main Mix) My All (Full Crew Main Mix Without Rap)* [P] My All (Full Crew Main Mix Instrumental)* [P] Sweetheart (Radio Edit) Sweetheart (The Story Instrumental) Sweetheart (Instrumental) [P] When You Believe (TV Track) When You Believe (Instrumental) I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Edit) I Still Believe (Damizza Remix Instrumental)* I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Edit) [P] I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix Instrumental)* (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:17)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,391) (95,393) by Bill from the UK There was a withdrawn UK release, I have it in my collection. And yes apologies, you're right, some territories in Europe did release the single. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:16)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,385) (95,392) by Randy from USA Stacey IDK if I agree with you. I like the rap included on the songs. I hate when she does an either or. Like Loverboy. You either get the rap or extended Cameo. On Thank God I Found You, you get more soulful instrumental moments or Nas. On the Bye Bye remix they took MC's whole first verse out to put Jay-Z on it and I would've liked his verse to extend the song. Even Fantasy was split in two. Although on the Bad Boy Mix you get the pop hook and ODB. It's my favorite version. And I hate to admit it but I love Gucci's verses on Obsessed so I wish she had defied us and put him on the song. P.S. I love all the Butterfly songs with the extended raps: The Roof, Breakdown and Honey. I just hate that Puffy took out the strings on the hook of the Bad Boy version. You have to listen closely. (Friday 4 September 2020; 21:26)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,387) (95,391) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Hence singles were pressed both in the US and Europe but were never commercially issued." I don't know if the single was released in the UK, but the single was released commercially in the rest of Europe. In the Netherlands it even reached the 14th spot. (Friday 4 September 2020; 21:10)

Remixes (95,390) by Lara from Middle East With all these remixes, someone should start a fitness YouTube channel. (Friday 4 September 2020; 21:06)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,374) (95,389) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Giggling. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:57)

Do You Know... Bonita (95,388) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa These remixes are everything. I've never heard them before. They are giving me 4 am after hours tacos with a tiny dingey dance floor and some red and blue lights and nothing but locals. I'm so loving it. MC30 is such a gift, what a creative rollout to her memoir. Very innovative. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:55)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,379) (95,387) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I agree. I have a feeling it's one of those things like, "this man is so amazing because he's nothing like what I just had". Like a refreshing rebound and she got super excited. I think the songs are more of a reflection of the feelings she felt by being with him more so than the relationship itself. I mean she has a Cancer ascendant and a Pisces mercury so go figure. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:31)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,386) by Bill from the UK Yes agree, it's different with The One (No Rap) as JD's contribution is minimal, albeit still has his hallmark level of annoyingness. Sweetheart being more a "duet", the rap actually works and adds to a rather bland song. And yes, it was planned as the lead single but was canned right before release as radio wasn't playing it. Hence singles were pressed both in the US and Europe but were never commercially issued. (Friday 4 September 2020; 20:05)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,385) by Stacey from USA Same here. Usually I prefer her songs without the rap in hopes she'll save said rap versions for the remix. With this song and others like Heartbreaker, the rap fits perfectly and the song flows better with it there then without. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:07)

Mariah en Espanol (95,384) by Stacey from USA Haha, someone should tell J-Lo that's how you sing in Spanish, lol. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:06)
