Re: How is everybody? (95,018) (95,020) by Randy from USA I'm glad you asked. We're suffering in the USA. I feel like everything is exhausting. You can't live carefree. Going to the supermarket is a chore. Trying to meet with friends is a chore. Trying to see family is a chore. I've had two emotional breakdowns. What I've had to do is daily keep reminding myself of all the things I have that others don't and be grateful. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 18:24)

Re: Mariah on GMA (95,015) (95,019) by Shezz from Pk I don't think she went and changed in a minute to sing those 2 songs, they were certainly recorded earlier and probably a few times so she could choose the best one or the best parts. So what? It's her performing it, and yes probably engineered. She's an insecure perfectionist - bigger crimes than that to worry about in this world. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 18:16)

How is everybody? (95,018) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Completely off topic - how's everybody doing with this shitshow of a year? It's f**king bleak here in Melbourne. Allowed out for one hour a day, and we have an 8pm curfew. But on the plus side I'm making my way through all of Aldi's wine range and have a newfound appreciation for Everybody Loves Raymond and Absolutely Fabulous. Hope you are all doing well.

Re: Mariah on GMA (95,014) (95,017) by Lee from USA I agree with you. Besides, if Andrew really felt that way, he wouldn't be here bitching about her every move on MCA. It's like hating the UK and watching BBC everyday. If he had moved to another artist's fansite, with that attitude, he would be crucified. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 14:32)

The Rarities content (95,016) by Bill from the UK MC's website has the following to say about the album: "The Rarities is a compilation of fan favorites, rare songs and unreleased gems, all hand-picked by Mariah herself. In addition, the second disc is the never before released full length audio from Live at the Tokyo Dome, Mariah's first concert performance in Japan in support of her 1996 Daydream World Tour." I really hope the "fan favourites" is a reference to the Daydream concert, and that she doesn't turn any of the first disc's 15 tracks over to Close My Eyes, Breakdown, and Butterfly. Unless of course they are different or remastered from the originals. I'm hoping the rare songs are the B Sides that have been available on singles - Do You Think of Me, Slipping Away etc. I am most excited about the unreleased gems of course. Please be demo songs. I am so desperate to hear the 1989 recordings or the demo versions of the first album. Mariah always said she preferred them to the finished version. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 14:24)

Re: Mariah on GMA (95,014) (95,015) by Andrew from the United Kingdom So you admit, it is not live and the vocals are engineered? On "prayed through the nights" her mouth doesn't move to the words correctly, she barely inhales through difficult parts whereas we know she has trouble with breathing, she transitions to head and whistle notes without any of the usual effort, she employs the shaking of the head and hand on high notes when she is not actually singing, and so on. This is not live at all and the vocals are engineered. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 13:09)

Re: Mariah on GMA (95,012) (95,014) by Shezz from Pk The 2 songs were recorded earlier, the day she posted the "CurlyRiah" moment, you can see she is wearing the black top below her kimono/robe. It looks like she might have recorded the audio separately and filmed the video after. Lipping parts on a pre recorded performance makes no sense. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 12:18)

Re: The Rarities (94,992) (95,013) by Shezz from Pk Sarah Mclachlan also has an album called "Rarities", though the complete name is "Rarities, B-sides and other stuff". Andrew, I often think your arguments are valid (though not nearly deserving of your brutality) but this one feels like you're doing it just because you feel like it. The title is fine, let it go. If you really want to dissect things then one can also argue that Mariah is wrong to say that there is an omnipresent "Hero" if you look inside your heart. Pick your battles and be happy. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 11:58)

Re: Mariah on GMA (95,004) (95,012) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Are you drunk? Top 5 performances ever? Absolutely insane. Parts of it are clearly lipped/dubbed and it's very nasal. I know it's exciting to have this album come out but let's call a spade a spade. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 10:34)

The Rarities plus hello (95,011) by MC85 from Canada Hey all. I've been creeping this message board for many years now and finally bit the bullet and created an account. I'm so pumped to share my enthusiasm for our girl with you all, and especially share my supernaturally ecstatic excitement for the new album. Can't wait to share my love with you all. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 10:31)

Re: Lauryn Hill (95,008) (95,010) by Andrew from the United Kingdom And only features vocals by Lauryn Hill? Mariah Carey doesn't sing on a Mariah Carey song? (Thursday 20 August 2020; 10:09)

Friday 21st (95,009) by Bill from the UK I wonder if MC will release the Butterfly EPs alongside Save the Day, or if she will instead save them for another week. Either way, glad to be getting a new song tomorrow. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 09:45)

Re: Lauryn Hill (95,000) (95,008) by Bill from the UK Yes I've also heard it samples Killing Me Softly by the Fugees. That was a great song. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 09:02)

Re: Save The Day (94,982) (95,007) by Tijl from Belgium New music from Mariah is all we need to lighten up this freakishly bizare and horrible year. Don't cry wolf yet just because it is a collab with JD. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 08:16)

The Rarities is #1 (95,006) by enwar00 from usa The Rarities is the #1 best-selling CD and vinyl on Amazon at the moment. That's just wild to me, especially considering it's not out for another month and a half. What's more is that the vinyl of the debut Mariah Carey album, also released on October 2nd, is at #8. The promo must really be working to get people this interested. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 06:40)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (95,005) by enwar00 from usa That's what I was thinking too, something prominent about how they used the sample. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 03:43)

Mariah on GMA (95,004) by ADAM from USA I am in utter ans complete shock. Cannot believe how great she performed. Her voice was in perfect form - warm, full, round - and in record condition. Her breathes were natural and her voice not nasal. I will say it's in her top 5 performances ever. Maybe it's just me, but I felt her love and emotion and gratitude in every note and inflection. This was her most genuine performance to date. It really comes across she loves her fans, and perhaps her fans saved her. So proud and happy to have witnessed this incredible moment. I'm so glad she's around to take in all the love. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 03:42)

Panties Perpetually In A Bunch (95,003) by John from USA No other person on here seems to be upset about everything and have all the time in the world to pick fights than Andrew. Seems having arguments here is what makes him feel alive and find meaning in his sad existence. I hope someone should gather all of Andrew's comments on here and make a compilation of sorts. It should be entitled... "Panties Perpetually In A Bunch": A compilation of comments on mcarchives.com from none other than Andrew, a.k.a. UK's Male Karen. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 03:38)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (95,002) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia So... a Mariah Carey song with JD squeaking "you know who this is" and Lauryn Hill saying "one time, one time"? I kid, I kid. Looking forward to hearing it. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 02:59)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,997) (95,000) by Chicago Lamb from USA No Andrew, he's correct. Fugees sample. (Thursday 20 August 2020; 01:36)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (94,999) by Bobby A from United States That's great. Have you heard the track? (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 23:49)

Re: The Rarities (94,992) (94,998) by Bobby A from United States The October release is right before the Grammys deadline. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 23:46)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,993) (94,997) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You sound like you are lying. Please provide evidentiary support. Also, answer this: should people who are actively lying be banned? (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 22:57)

European release? (94,996) by TJ from Norway 15 dollars turned into 65 when shipping and taxes was added. That's too expensive. I hope it will be released in Europe too. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 22:40)
