The Honest Vocal Coach GMA vid (94,995) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Yessss. I love The Honest Vocal Coach I've been watching her forever. Her name is fitting, because she is always honest. Watching her cover the GMA performances was so fun. Gave me chills all over again. So great to see others that can appreciate how her voice has aged. Check it out here.

Re: GMA (94,978) (94,994) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa My previous post was solely on her interview. I loved her energy and even vulnerability in it. I hadn't seen the performance yet when I posted that. I loved the performance as well. It was beautiful, I loved the piano, and it seems like she is singing into the song, not singing outwardly trying to show the world something. She loves her catalogue and it shows. She so deserves this moment (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 21:19)

Lauryn Hill (94,993) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The song Save The Day will only feature Lauryn Hill’s vocals using the hook to the Fugees classic remake of Killing Me Softly. So if anyone was expecting anything else sorry for the disappointment. For me I am anxious to hear the full song before I reserve my full judgement. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 20:30)

Re: The Rarities (94,989) (94,992) by Andrew from the United Kingdom rar·i·ty /'rer?de/ noun the state or quality of being rare. Similar: uncommonness singularity uniqueness scarcity scarceness sparseness So, as I stated, it's a quality. Unreleased tracks are not individually uncommon or, perhaps, not in abundance. This definition does not, or prima facie, seem to apply. noun a rare thing, especially one having particular value. plural noun: rarities Similar: collector's item Collectors items? They're not that either. The title is stupid. It has reached the point where Mariah has too many questionable titles. I like "Chrysalis" a lot. But Jade just suggested "The Vault" and I think that wins hands down. Tokyo Dome being a "rarity"? We are playing fast and loose with facts and the English language, here.

Brad (94,991) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) She has renting a home in the Hamptons for at least the last month. But she still owns her TriBeCa penthouse. She has been there during the quarantine as well. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 20:00)

Re: The Rarities (94,972) (94,990) by Bill from the UK If the new album does indeed feature the demos either before being signed or the demo songs recorded for the first iteration of the debut album, then a more fitting title would have been "Chrysalis", for the whole pre-Butterfly theme. But saying that, it goes with the theme of other compilations: The Ballads, The Remixes, The Rarities. Going from the GMA interview the album will be a good accompaniment to the book. Also I must say her performance of Close My Eyes was beautiful, and I loved how she changed up Vision of Love during the instrumental break. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 18:49)

Re: The Rarities (94,972) (94,989) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa That's interesting. When I look up the word, this is the first thing that pops up, from Oxford Languages dictionary: rar·i·ty /'rer?de/ noun the state or quality of being rare. Similar: uncommonness singularity uniqueness scarcity scarceness sparseness a rare thing, especially one having particular value. plural noun: rarities Similar: collector's item Seems very fitting to me.

Rarities / GMA (94,988) by Terna from Nigeria It's such an exciting time to be a Mariah Carey fan right now. This new compilation "The Rarities" is just what the Lambily and the rest of the world needs right now. I followed the link to Amazon music and there [are] so many tracks. Such a treat Watching her perform "Vision of Love" a song she's sung a million times and still inject new life into its interpretation was a breath of fresh air. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 18:38)

Re: Lauryn Hill (94,970) (94,987) by Stacey from USA Yeah I don't care for Lauryn Hill. Not so much the music, but because her music reminds me of a time in my life, people I'd like to forget. But I guess I have to make an exception, lol. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 18:30)

Re: Name game (94,977) (94,986) by Shezz from Pk I do too. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 18:10)

Where in the world is Mariah Carey (94,985) by Brad from USA Do we know where Mariah is living lately? Recent pics/videos don't seem to be her Manhattan home. I was thinking maybe she bought or is renting a home upstate? (The one on Instagram a few weeks ago where she had the sunflower in her hair.) Was just curious. Thanks. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 18:04)

GMA performance (94,984) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Ugh. Some truth bombs: 1. Badly lipped 2. Overly engineered 3. Nasal/scratched vocals 4. Shoulder shrugging 5. Terrible hair 6. Overweight 7. Weird positioning for the "good side" This was tragic. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:56)

Save the Day (94,983) by Brad from USA Looking forward to finally hearing this song on Friday. It seems like The Rarities album is almost a double album with the undisclosed tracks and live performance tracks of known/hit songs? She seemed good today on GMA, though the songs were previously recorded (clearly) it was nice to have her perform a song like Close My Eyes for a broader audience. Be safe and well. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:55)

Save The Day (94,982) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Wooooooo another Jermaine Dupri collaboration. Need more of them in our lives like we need more CoViD-19 in our lives. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:42)

Mariah on GMA (94,981) by Randy from USA So I watched MC on YouTube since I slept in this morning. I gotta say she looks and sounds great. Here's my issue. I never feel comfortable giving her credit for a good performance because I'm always thinking she lip synced it. I made peace a long time ago with MC's voice suffering irreparable damage at some point and for whatever reason she still writes and sings with an engineer's help to make it seem like she's still the greatest vocalist of our generation. I've learned to love MC through the rasp and deception. I want her to win. There's just always a small part of me that wants her to be honest with us and with herself. But I'm sure die-hard delusional will say "she sung live" or "she didn't sing live because she was nervous there was no audience, her implants were inhibiting her from breathing, the air conditioning was on, the heat was on, her nodules were inflamed, her nodules were laid off, dem babies were sleeping in the next room and she didn't want to wake them, her voice is social distancing or she was campaigning for Biden and trying to sequence The Rarities so she was distracted".

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,976) (94,980) by tadatorao from japan Apart from the curly hair, she is wearing a dress resembling the one on her debut album to sing VOL at GMA. She's on fire in this era. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:20)

Andrew (94,979) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Andrew, Mariah has a right to name her art whatever she chooses. Everything does not need our approval in order for her to do it. I understand that you may not like certain things about MC, however just because you do not like it, that does not mean that you should rain on other people’s joy who are enjoying the moments. Again we should be thankful that she is giving her fans these moments, and gifts while she is still able because some of her contemporaries, and artists she has admired, and have been compared to are no longer here to bless their fans with the same experience, and gifts. I am just going to give MC her flowers while she is here to receive, and smell them, and the things that do not peak my interests I will not touch. Maybe you can do the same. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:19)

GMA (94,978) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Beautiful, healthy, calm. She looked amazing and she looked so comfortable. This is the energy I love to see her in. Being at home and working on these projects has grounded her so much and I love to see it. I hope for many more moments of confident Mariah like this one. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 17:14)

Re: Name game (94,966) (94,977) by Edward from USA Randy, I don't know if as much as you do, but I do also love "Right To Dream". And "Help Me Make It" of course. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 16:32)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,975) (94,976) by Bill from the UK Lord take me to the king. This is too much. Here is MC's interview on GMA for those of you that missed it. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 16:11)

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,956) (94,975) by tadatorao from japan Hi Bill, according to Sony Japan, the demo tape is really included in The Rarities. Not sure to what extend but we are finally going to listen to and own some pre-debut materials. Our collection is going to be so complete. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:44)

Good times (94,974) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) With all of these good things that MC continues to bless us with, it is certainly good times to be a fan. I am eternally grateful that MC is here among us to share in these amazing moments, and blessings. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:33)

Re: Rarities album (94,971) (94,973) by tadatorao from japan Sony Music Japan just announced that there will be a 3 discs edition of physical release. Two CDs plus a high resolution Blu-ray of the Tokyo Dome concert. So our dream does come true. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:31)

The Rarities (94,972) by Andrew from the United Kingdom The title is stupid. It doesn't even seem to make any sense. A "rarity" seems to be a quality, like, "to see Mariah live is a rarity" or "having pizza in the week is a rarity". To say that "the Tokyo Dome concert is a rarity" is, firstly, not true, and secondly, a strange sentence. An unreleased song is a rarity? Nope. I don't think it is. Mariah used to be so good at naming things. Every release title since The Emancipation of Mimi has been bizarre (save for maybe Caution) - and you can add the memoir title to that list. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 15:09)

Re: Rarities album (94,968) (94,971) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great news. I was hoping for a CD release, but wasn't sure if it will happen. Can we talk about this beautiful album cover? It reminds me of the Daydream cover so I absolutely love it. It looks classy and beautiful. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 14:02)
