Producers (94,271) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) To me I think that MC should work with some up and coming producers on her next album. As well as 2-3 producers that she chemistry with. I would not mind Mike Will made it, Timbaland, Skillex, or Dev Haynes. As for co-writers Crystal Johnson, Missy Elliott, and Poo Bear. (Tuesday 2 June 2020; 02:38)

Re: Check out Masterpiece by the Clark Sisters (94,268) (94,270) by T from USA So so good. JD and Darkchild are two of my favorite producers and I know the reason MIAMTEC is so so good was because of those two great producers. (Monday 1 June 2020; 16:57)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,260) (94,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I prefer the 80ies and 90ies. If there was a time maschine I would definitily go back. Lol. And even late 70ies we're great too. Nowadays just makes me sad a lot. The statistics can say what they want, when I was going out in late 90ies it was much more safe and "fun", I never had to worry about things that are today "normal". Of course I'm just talking about my country and how I have experienced it. But I have a little hope that things will get better in the future. The system is down, and although there are "winners" there are too many sick people because of the system and it's pressure. (The work-life.) I know so many people with burn-out and so on, something which was not in common 20 years ago. People shouldn't be treated as "human ressource" which is cheap to be exploited.

Check out Masterpiece by the Clark Sisters (94,268) by Bobby A from United States Jermaine and Crystal Johnson wrote a song for the Clark Sisters called Masterpiece. It is really a great song. Their new album The Return is really a brilliant gospel album that showcases their musical diversity. Crystal Johnson is such gifted songwriter. I hope she collaborates with MC again soon. And Rodney Jerkins provided some fresh beats for More and Nobody Like Him by the Clark Sisters. So much better than You're Mine (Eternal). Lol. (Monday 1 June 2020; 02:43)

Re: MC / Timbaland Robert Anthony (94,265) (94,267) by Bobby A from United States Gee, thank you for the clarification. I understand better now at what you were trying to say. (Monday 1 June 2020; 00:41)

Re: They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,263) (94,266) by RibbonB from USA Ouch a few typos. (Monday 1 June 2020; 00:36)

MC / Timbaland Robert Anthony (94,265) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am sure that MC would have loved to work with them both during the Butterfly era as they were fresh to the mainstream and Butterfly was MC’s artistic statement. My point was she did not work with Timbaland until [Skydiving] and then again on Caution with 8th [Grade]. Hopefully they will work together again at some point because I really enjoy 8th [Grade], also [Skydiving] sounds great as well, I hope that we get to hear the finished song one day.

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,248) (94,264) by MC1989 from Spain What a beautiful voice she has. So proud of her using her popularity to support the black community and speaking against the racism and police brutality that this case is bringing on to the table. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 22:24)

Re: They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,256) (94,263) by RibbonB from USA I remember it . It was just ok. I preferred his other demo for her called "I need Things". Mimi could have rocked out to the obe. The lyrics needed to be tweaked to not be so materialistic though. I think all those reject demos hadn't been touched by Mimi as in no contribution from her just rejected off yop. She outright rejected so need things on Twitter. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:36)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,253) (94,262) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love her litttle snippet she's posted. The lyrics are today even more important than in 90. I'm so sick of superficial lyrics in general, Mariah should do another song like TGTBAW, she's so good at it. The world needs a new song with meaning and hope. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:34)

Re: Skydiving (94,257) (94,261) by RibbonB from USA Skydiving is really not that good IMO. Mimi has a ton of rejects out there like Future's many babies. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:30)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,253) (94,260) by Andrew from the United Kingdom If you had to choose one moment in history in which to be born, and you didn't know in advance whether you were going to be male or female, which country you were going to be from, what your status was, you'd choose right now. The world has never been healthier, or wealthier, or better educated, or in many ways more tolerant, or less violent, than it is today. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 16:24)

Next album (94,259) by Bobby A from United States I really feel MC is working on a new album that is going to take Lambs back to Butterfly, TEOM, and E=MC2 mixed into one cohesive powerhouse album. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:49)

Re: MC / Timbaland (94,254) (94,258) by Bobby A from United States She wanted to work with Timbaland and Missy together for Babydoll, but his schedule wouldn't allow it. MC said that during an interview. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:44)

Re: Skydiving (94,255) (94,257) by T from USA She put some songs that were already on Memoirs onto MIAMTEC. I wish instead she put Skydiving on it as I believe it would've even bolstered an already excellent album. Timbaland was at the top of his game in 2014. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:19)

They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,256) by John from USA Does anyone remember this demo song from the Memoirs era? All we have is The Dream's demo and the lyrics still definitely need reworking (for instance: the opening line says: It's 8AM in the morning, lols). It has a lot of potential though, and Mariah's breathy vocals would fit right in for the verses. I just wish Mariah had recorded this. For those who don't remember, here is the link. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 07:13)

Re: Skydiving (94,251) (94,255) by John from USA Thanks for the link. That's the longest version I've heard so far. I think sonically, Skydiving may even fit Caution as well. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 06:59)

MC / Timbaland (94,254) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mariah has only worked with Timbaland twice. On both [Skydiving] and 8th [Grade]. Babydoll was actually produced by Stevie J. with additional production by Cory Rooney. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 03:10)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,248) (94,253) by Bill from the UK I know TGTBAW often gets overlooked, and at times mocked for its production etc., but it's incredible and shocking, how 30 years/a generation after it was written, we still find ourselves in the same world. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:38)

Re: Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) (94,252) by Bill from the UK I loved the part where she couldn't keep a straight face when listing the differences between Dice and Tommy haha. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:35)

Re: Skydiving (94,246) (94,251) by T from USA This is the unmixed version that was done during the Memoirs sessions. First time Mariah and Timbaland worked with each other since she teamed up with [Missy] on [Babydoll]. I think it would've fit perfectly with [Memoirs] to break up but also compliment the Dream songs. Ignore the talking over it and try to focus on the vocals, lyrics and production. It's sublime. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 19:29)

Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) by Edouard from France Hi everyone, very interesting video about the resurgence of the video uncovers what I believe is a never-before-seen promo video from the Glitter era. It seems to me that the story line of the movie was to be different: no so focus on the making of a star thing, more about the love story, the whitewashing of Billie's music, her choice not to go with the corporate guys, etc. The music on the album also would have been different. Mariah mentions a collaborative effort with Prince. She throws a little shade at Mottola and Lopez, alludes to plagiarism and not wanting to be blamed. Check it out. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 18:01)

Re: 8th Grade (94,243) (94,249) by darrian liu from taiwan I see it, but I think the title kinda relates to the mindset of the "voice" she's portraying in the song. The lyrics are as if they were written by someone with this indecisive, flimsy, kinda timid mindset, a lil bit like an 8th grader. I think Mariah was trying to harken back to her middle school days with the cig reference too. It might be a little bit of a reach, but it kinda makes sense to me. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 17:38)

There's got to be a way live (94,248) by Manuel from Germany Mariah did it. She sang a snippet. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 16:36)

8th Grade (94,247) by Jeff from USA It was my favorite song from Caution when the album came out and it still is today. Mariah at her best. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 14:10)
