Re: Charmbracelet (94,739) (94,745) by T from USA Charmbracelet has sold more in the United States (and worldwide) than Memoirs or E=MC2 as well. (Thursday 30 July 2020; 00:43)

Re: MC30 justice for Loverboy (94,743) (94,744) by Bill from the UK The sweetest revenge haha. (Wednesday 29 July 2020; 20:10)

MC30 justice for Loverboy (94,743) by tadatorao from japan Imagine how festive it would be if she releases Loverboy sampling Firecracker and we send it all the way to top BB100 for her long overdue 20th No.1. (Wednesday 29 July 2020; 06:43)

Article: Loverboy breaks record on Billboard (94,742) by Lainsky from Philippines Missing moments like this where Mariah jumps on the top of the Hot 100 from nowhere or lower half of the chart. Time really has changed. I can only binge reading on these historical successes and reminisce how happy and excited I had been witnessing those victories. (Wednesday 29 July 2020; 06:08)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,738) (94,741) by Anonymous from UK Yeah, Crystal Ball didn't happen, but it was my understanding that the Prince song was recorded, but not finished? I'd enjoy Yours, it's always been annoying we didn't hear it. I didn't even bother to put After Tonight on my list. I guessed Luis wouldn't sanction it, and, to be honest, I think it's a bit of a cut and paste track anyway, I'm not enamoured. I'd also like to add that I'd like the HD recording of Emotions at Oslo in 2016 on the SSF tour. Her voice was great, flexible, she knew it, she had fun, and we deserve it. I live for her "Oslo" purrs at the end (the full videos with complete intro have vanished from YouTube). And I'd appreciate any footage shot for The One video. I know it was incorporated into the Boy video, but I'm almost certain there are distinct clips for it. R.e. the Jamaica concert, I agree, I didn't know what to make of it when it happened - I was overall disappointed in her behavior generally, at that compounded it - but I really enjoy it now for what it is. Vision of Love never fails to crack me up. And yeah, I agree with you Andrew, I think the second verse of that version of WBT is better than the original (I suspect the original may have been like this when she wrote or demoed it?). I particularly like the "don't even need this to listen" ad lib, even if it doesn't make full sense. Although I understand why the track ended up as it did. (Wednesday 29 July 2020; 01:54)

Re: MC30 wants (94,732) (94,740) by Bobby A from United States If MC worked with The Runners like I heard she did during the TEOM recording sessions, I would love to hear those tracks along with the finished version of When I Feel Need. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 22:53)

Charmbracelet (94,739) by Bobby A from United States I shop at a lot of used CD stores. [Charmbracelet] is the only CD that I never see in bin. I guess that means that people are holding on to [Charmbracelet] than any other Mariah Carey CD. Is it still MC's 3rd lowest selling album behind MIAM and Caution? (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 22:48)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,735) (94,738) by Edward from USA Crystal Ball and the project with Prince never happened because of schedule conflicts. She has "After Tonight" with Luis Miguel, but I doubt he'll allow that to happen since he didn't like his take on it. I would like to hear "Yours" with Justin Timberlake though. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 20:28)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,731) (94,737) by ADAM from USA We have the same taste. I love these performances as well. I've come to really love her raspy texture and ad-libs that are different from the actual recordings. Much more satisfying. I remember initially hating the Jamaica concert and now in 2020 I can't watch it enough. I love all her ad-libs and sound of her voice. She was in great shape that night and is really very funny. How I wish the entire concert was recorded. It's very hard to find long videos of Heartbreaker and Emotions. Fingers crossed she does it again in Jamaica. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 16:33)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,735) (94,736) by Terna from Nigeria I always wondered how that song would've sounded like, as I love Lauryn Hill as well. However I don't think they even got together to record the song as I recall Mariah insinuating Lauryn's people kinda blocked her out. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 14:44)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,734) (94,735) by Bill from the UK Can we add Crystal Ball with Lauryn Hill to the mix as well? I loved her Miseducation album and played that to death back in the day. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 11:55)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,730) (94,734) by MusicfanJ from Germany "The Crave Song, The Wedding Song, Mariah's Lillie's Blues, To The Sky, Can You Hear Me, Hypnotized, Distant Lover, Panic The City, Love Can Never End, Satisfy with MJ, Prince songs. " Just thinking about those songs makes me thrilled. Lol I knew she has all those unreleased songs, but never knew there was one with MJ. I need to hear all of this. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 10:47)

Where are you Christmas (Mariah version) (94,733) by Nicole from US I dunno if someone already wished for this but I hope she would continue to release the rarities all the way until December (or maybe earlier). I am dying to hear her version. (Tuesday 28 July 2020; 08:29)

MC30 wants (94,732) by Lafa from Sweden Unreleased Butterfly album songs? Mariah would never. She should share. Give it to me. (Monday 27 July 2020; 23:46)

Re: Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,730) (94,731) by Andrew from the United Kingdom That second version of WBT is better than the original. Or maybe I'm saying that because I've over-played the original. But I love Mariah's live melody switch-ups. It is the mark of someone with music running through them. One of my favourites is this where, although not the best performance, the last "but they cant that away from..." at 3:45 is beautiful and really actually conveys the emotional meaning of what she is singing. (Monday 27 July 2020; 22:50)

Hero melody / MC30 wants (94,730) by Anonymous from UK I like the Hero melody. I'm reminded of the time she performed in Jamaica, and although she was drunk af, she was free and sang an alternate version of the 2nd verse of WBT. R.e. Wants for MC30 (though many are highly unlikely to happen): 1. The original demo tapes (guessing now we're not getting them) 2. Everything Fades Away, Slipping Away, There for Me, Never too far/Hero for digital release. 3. Mariah solo demo for original version of OSD 4. The Crave Song, The Wedding Song, Mariah's Lillie's Blues, To The Sky, Can You Hear Me, Hypnotized, Distant Lover, Panic The City, Love Can Never End, Satisfy with MJ, Prince songs. anything unreleased 5. Complete digital Butterfly remix EP 6. Underneath The Stars video 7. Alternate AYNAF video 8. FLAB remix 9. What exists of Beautiful Remix video 10. A Peak at the lullaby album recorded for Roc and Roe (very unlikely) 11. Any Christmas outtakes and session stuff 12. Last Night a DJ Saved my Life (and all videos) for YouTube 13. Mariah's Where Are You Christmas 14. The IKWYW part 2 (where I belong) 15. Lover Boy Firecracker version. (Monday 27 July 2020; 18:38)

Re: New Hero melody (94,724) (94,729) by ADAM from USA I love this new melody too. It gave me chills. Wish she would incorporate it into a live performance. It's much more emotional and interesting to hear esp with her post-2000 voice. Maybe she'll read this post and adjust accordingly lol. (Monday 27 July 2020; 16:10)

Brandy - Rather Be (94,728) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Brandy is dropping her seventh album and first major release in 8 years this Friday. Right now there doesn't seem to be much hype about it, but this track, while short and decidedly more of a deep cut than single material, showcases that unique earthy tone of hers. A collaboration between her and Mariah would be perfect especially with the latter's current, matured voice. I've always thought One Mo' Gen would suit Brandy's voice and harmonies well. (Monday 27 July 2020; 15:34)

Re: Hopes for MC30 (94,725) (94,727) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill great list. "In short, just give us everything lol." That's how I think too. (Monday 27 July 2020; 13:40)

Re: Hopes for MC30 (94,725) (94,726) by Bill from the UK One major ommission, the European legs of the Daydream tour digitally released. Either as video or just the audio in HQ. (Monday 27 July 2020; 13:24)

Hopes for MC30 (94,725) by Bill from the UK Great post R-A. My wants are as follows: 1. The demo tape in its raw, what-Tommy-heard format. 2. Alternative takes and cutting room snippets as per All In Your Mind. 3. Any recorded yet unreleased songs, either in demo or finished format (Can You Hear Me). 4. Remix EPs for all main single releases. 5. The whole back catalogue re-issued on 180g vinyl, in beautiful gatefold sleeves. 6. All official music videos (including remix versions). Most are on iTunes anyway so it's just packaging those up and filling any gaps (the scrapped Vision of Love, Underneath the Stars). 7. The First Vision and Thanksgiving Special available digitally. In short, just give us everything lol. (Monday 27 July 2020; 11:42)

New Hero melody (94,724) by Andrew from the United Kingdom This is short but amazing. Mariah does a different melody for "sorrow that you know" in Hero that I have never heard or even imagined in 27 years. It's really, really beautiful. (Monday 27 July 2020; 04:29)

Re: From the vaults (94,722) (94,723) by Tevin from USA I love reading everyone's predictions and wants, but unless I missed it, nobody mentioned that we want the Underneath the Stars music video. (Monday 27 July 2020; 03:45)

Re: From the vaults (94,721) (94,722) by Bobby A from United States Gee Whiz Karen. Is that the best you can say? You criticize everybody for their comments and predictions. And you don't think your harsh and critical rhetoric isn't starting to bore us to death. Your eight month sabbatical in 2018 was refreshing to us all who held down the forum while you got yourself together. However, I see you haven't turned from your mean and critical ways. Bullies in the schoolyard when they fall they fall hard. (Monday 27 July 2020; 00:17)
