There For Me (95,095) by Bill from the UK I wonder why There For Me has not been included in The Rarities. Going by the songwriting credits, there is no Carey/Warren/Foster reference to indicate its inclusion. (Saturday 22 August 2020; 00:46)

Re: The Rarities (JPN edition) (95,093) (95,094) by Edward from USA You can't read Japanese? Shame. (Saturday 22 August 2020; 00:09)

The Rarities (JPN edition) (95,093) by cBerr from Canada According to Amazon.jp, the Japanese edition will come with a BluRay disc of the Tokyo Dome show. Does anyone know where one can be ordered aside from auction sites like eBay? Or does anyone know how to adjust the language setting on Amazon's Japan site so I can understand what I am ordering? Thanks. (Friday 21 August 2020; 23:27)

Re: He should be banned (95,080) (95,092) by cBerr from Canada While only the webmaster can speak to what constitutes getting banned, nobody should chalk anyone else's posts up to "mental health issues". We have had multiple users on this message board talk openly about depression during these times of lockdowns and quarantining - so to use the term so nonchalantly is just dangerous and wrong.

Re: STD is epic (95,089) (95,091) by Bobby A from United States Yes it is. I think I figured out why Save The Day is arranged the way it is. First, the strings and slow introduction represents the racial and equality in the world and how everyone was affected by it. Second, the rap like first verse is similar to the other social justice rap songs that came out in the spring and MJ's Black and White. The Lauryn Hill sample represents a cry out for change. The ending is MC's plea to us to make change for the betterment of us all. (Friday 21 August 2020; 22:46)

A grower I guess (95,090) by Brad from USA I'm fairness to Save the Day, I like it a bit more after playing it repeatedly. I personally don't think it benefits from the sample. I always prefer more developed lyrics. The strings intro isn't necessary. I guess I would have edited it differently. I don't mind it but don't sense it will go anywhere. Enjoy it for what it is.

STD is epic (95,089) by Lafa from Sweden Save The Day is completely epic. (Friday 21 August 2020; 21:21)

Save the Day (95,088) by Hector from Mexico I was excited but I didn't like the song. Anyway, I will buy The Rarities album. (Friday 21 August 2020; 20:15)

Re: Save The Day (95,085) (95,087) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Yay. (Friday 21 August 2020; 19:35)

The Rarities (95,086) by Ethan from United States Based on the Wiki page, we can assume that there won't be the following songs: 1. Where are you Christmas? 2. Do you know where you're going to? (I'm glad it's not included) 3. A Diane Warren co-written song (rumored to be a power ballad) If it's in chronological order, then track 6 might be from the Daydream era that didn't make the cut since Always Be My Baby was such a strong song. Probably a R&B/Pop type of song. I think track 15 is a powerful ballad and might be one of the last songs they worked on just like how she saved Lead The Way in the 90s for the Glitter soundtrack. I was hoping for a song from Babyface since Never Forget You and Melt Away are instant hits at first listen. Maybe there's still on in the vault somewhere. But based on the length listed on the Wiki page, you guys might be right about some of the songs on the album. (Friday 21 August 2020; 19:27)

Save The Day (95,085) by Bobby A from United States It is currently number 6 on iTunes. That's a good sign. Right? (Friday 21 August 2020; 18:57)

Caution (95,084) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I was laying out by the lake the other day, streaming the Caution album. I had a thought... if Caution was the debut album by Mariah I would be an instant fan. Like, it is so slick and good and addictive. If she was a new artist coming out with Caution, she would be a water oasis in the midst of a musical desert. What other albums do you all think would make you fall for her if it were her first album? (I hope my wording is clear.) (Friday 21 August 2020; 18:38)

Save The Day (95,083) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa So catchy. "If he won't, then she won't and they won't..." I love it. Needed this, the production and sample makes this sound like a familiar classic. So much more about the vibe than the acrobatics, it's such a bop for me. Hope you all are enjoying the single. (Friday 21 August 2020; 18:34)

Be Nice or Leave (95,082) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa This is not a difficult concept at all. Any decent person can easily adhere to this. There are many ways to disagree without being nasty or toxic. Let's respect the space by respecting their main rule. I am loving this era for Mariah. Caution was a real gem and it has definitely refreshed her as an artist. I am so excited for the rest of this year to roll out. (Friday 21 August 2020; 18:21)

Re: Did you forget (95,078) (95,081) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really want that version of "All in your mind" so I can stop playing the vault clip of it on loop. (Friday 21 August 2020; 17:15)

He should be banned (95,080) by Edward from USA I will never understand why somebody would come out of obscurity to post for the first time on this board to complain about Andrew and not about the thousands upon thousands of positive lists and these-could've been singles on this board. Well, some came out drooling over how cute Bill from the UK is when he first posted his picture, and some peed in their pants of excitement when Todd from Australia posted his. If you don't like what Andrew has to say, there are a gazillion of other posts in here. This board won't ever be your Mary Poppins' Utopic Garden. It's so easy to just skip posts, I do it on a regular basis, and I don't have to keep regurgitating how much I hate this or that poster. For that, I use Whatsapp, lol. Focus on the new music and you'll be happy. If you have a crush on Andrew, well, I think you all might have to get a room, even though I don't think Andrew is into orgies or anything like that.

Save The Day (95,079) by Jono from USA I wanted to love it, but in the end I'm kind of indifferent to it. I knew that getting my hopes up of having a Mariah/Lauryn "collab" would backfire. The issue is the production, it's just too messy. It's like Infinity - the song doesn't know what it wants to be and where it wants to go. The intro sounds misplaced and should have been cut. The beat that kicks in should have come in right after the strings in the beginning. I do love the interpolation of "Killing Me Softly" as it's one of the most gorgeous melodies in music history; and they sound absolutely killer together. Maybe the song is a grower, but first impressions are just meh. (Friday 21 August 2020; 17:05)

Did you forget (95,078) by Edward from USA People here seem to have forgotten about the snippet she let out of the vault from "All In Your Mind, Take 2". I'm looking forward to listening to that one, she's definitely going to include it in the track-list. I don't think she should waste space on the disk with tracks that, even though were not on album releases, at least got released as b-sides and bonus tracks on international releases.

Track 13 (95,077) by Myles from CT, USA [Seems] to be [Lullaby of birdland] per the credits. George Shearing David Weiss. (Friday 21 August 2020; 15:43)

Re: Andrew (95,065) (95,076) by Lee from UK This 100% I wanted to post something similar but you worded it so much better. (Friday 21 August 2020; 15:04)

Re: Save The Day (95,071) (95,075) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Very In The Mix-ish to me." I can hear that too. There's a similarity. (Friday 21 August 2020; 14:48)

Save the day (95,074) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This was done between 2013-15 I believe, and it was finished recently to coincide with the current times, and also to celebrate MC30. I actually appreciate the song wholeheartedly. I can do without JD talking on the track, because those that knows JD's production can definitely tell that his sound has not evolved since Confessions, and TEOM eras. Yes I will always love, and respect what MC, and JD have done together however after Caution JD should be limited to a song every now and then. (Friday 21 August 2020; 14:37)

Re: Andrew (95,065) (95,073) by Bill from the UK Not that I ever wade in on this stuff usually, but since when did not liking a Mariah Carey performance mean you have a mental health issue? Get a grip everybody. (Friday 21 August 2020; 13:58)

Save The Day (95,072) by Myles from CT, USA Um... so do you think we will get the Butterfly EP's next week? Let's pray. (Friday 21 August 2020; 13:55)

Save The Day (95,071) by Will from Australia Creatively I felt like this was a step back after the progress she made with Caution. I don't hate it and it's a grower but the production sounds terrible. JD y'all know what this isn't, just grinds on me. The slow start is too boring for radio, I do like when the beat kicks in and the whole track should have been produced like this. The Lauren sample is annoying while in the background but awesome when used in the chorus and bridge. The end of the song sounded very In The Mix-ish to me too. But as much as I love the sample, I couldn't help but think the idea was a rip off of Drake sampling Emotions and JD trying to be popular, someone take a restraining order out on him and any future Mariah projects please.
