Happy birthday MC / What y'all playin? (108,470) by Randy from USA Yes you are 56. But you barely give 40. What three MC songs are y'all listening to these days? Me: GTFO, Right To Dream and Languishng. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 18:32)

B'Day (108,475) by Edward from USA It was time to get her on solid ground, so I thought I could make it happen. (Friday 28 March 2025; 03:45) this is a reply to message 108,472

B'Day (108,472) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your lamb card is revoked for using the B word. Happy anniversary Mimi. Please feed us some new music. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 19:29)

Emancipation & Daydream (108,474) by Stacey from USA I like Music Box too. All I Ever Wanted is a very underrated ballad. I first heard Mariah on VH1 (when they actually played videos, lol,) with Hero. That song hooked me on MC and Daydream reeled me in. But MB will always hold a special place with me because of that experience. (Friday 28 March 2025; 01:17) this is a reply to message 108,449

Emancipation & Daydream (108,449) by TJ from Norway I like Daydream very much. A lot of good songs, and it was released on my 19th birthday (at least in Norway). What a gift. I have never liked One Sweet Day, except the live versions. Fantasy is still one of my long time favourites. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 21:03)

You have to get rid of one (108,473) by Tevin from USA I would save EFA and TTEOT. Vanishing is amazing though. Especially the live Music Box tour performance of it. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 19:47) this is a reply to message 108,460

You have to get rid of one (108,460) by RadChad from United States Wow this was very difficult, but if I had to chose, it'd be "Everything Fades Away" because Till The End Of Time and Vanishing aren't going anywhere ever. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 01:38)

Article: Brother accuses Mariah of orchestrating YouTube video (108,471) by Bobby A from United States Reading this article is just too much. I am on MC's side. Wasn't it after her book was released and Morgan's lawsuit that we found out MC's relationship with her mother had become strained? Prior to her book being released, MC was on good terms with her mother. Is that correct? I wonder if Morgan while visiting Patricia in Florida upset her about was in MC's book.

Article: Brother accuses Mariah of orchestrating YouTube video (108,468) by Jamie from UK All this drama from Morgan and the late Alison. Surely it would have just been easier to stay friends with Mariah, I'm sure she wouldn't have seen them out of pocket. But no they wanted more and became greedy. Now they won't get a single penny from her. Must be awful when your own family sees you as a paycheque. Had they not gone down the path they have I'm sure they would have led a comfortable life courtesy of Mariah, but people always want more and more. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 17:43)

Article: Brother accuses Mariah of orchestrating YouTube video (108,469) by Randy from USA You know one of the most interesting things to come out of the Oprah interview in 2020, was when they talked about the duality of famous people's relatives feeling both entitled to handouts and hateful jealousy that their family member doesn't deserve what they get. I really feel as though MC would've given her family the world. Now I will happily say MC loves yes people, sycophants around her. With family she just wanted a degree of loyalty and I think Pat, Alison and Morgan disappointed and hurt her deeply. I hate to see him put her through this.

Emancipation & Daydream (108,414) by Jamie from UK Ok while it's the 20th Anniversary of Mimi and 30th Anniversary of Daydream. Choose your two favourite songs from each album. Mine are: We Belong Together/Get Your Number Fantasy/Looking In I'm interested to hear people's choices and thought I'd bring some fun to the board. (Monday 24 March 2025; 18:14)

Buttery tone (108,455) by Bobby A from United States I hear her buttery tone especially on Melt Away. I just never thought of her voice that way. I just said she was singing in her soprano voice or her alto voice switching bewteen the two voices. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 00:15)

Ribbon (108,454) by Bobby A from United States I have a funny story here. I had a blind date on the day TEOM was released at record store in my car. I played TEOM while talking to the guy. Circles played next. The guy said to me when MC's voice sounded hoarse on "I just keep going round and round." My date said, "Mariah Carey sounds bad on this song." He never contacted me again and labeled me as pushy when I tried to defend MC and asked him if he wanted to go grab some lunch. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 21:36)

Buttery tone (108,444) by Edward from USA Bobby A, a "buttery" voice refers to a smooth, fluid, warm, and rounded vocal quality. Most of Mariah's '90s catalog is filled with it. Some examples, just to pick a few, include Vanishing, Till the End of Time, Can't Let Go, Music Box, Underneath the Stars, Lead the Way, Open Arms, Melt Away, and Everything Fades Away. Albums like Daydream, Music Box, Merry Christmas, and Butterfly are basically the epitome of a beautiful buttery voice. Sadly, by 2002, only traces of that buttery voice were still there. And before some of y'all try to nail me to a cross next to Oprah and Gayle, I'm not saying she couldn't sing, she absolutely could still blow, but the fluidity and seamless transitions between registers just weren't the same. A lot of us complained about the heavy use of the whisper register on Charmbracelet, it's funny that I would take anything from her with even half that quality in a heartbeat.

Ribbon (108,446) by BFF from United States I totally agree. "Circles", "Mine Again", and "Stay the Night" all sounded strained and that's why I never cared for those songs. "Joy Ride" was slightly better, but overall, the ballads on the album needed more work. I think "Sprung" should have made the main track listing - there is something so effervescent and joyful about it. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 16:27)

Buttery tone (108,453) by TJ from Norway I think it went away when she was over exposing the whispering sound. I remember me and my friends were really concerned about her using her voice like that in 97, when she released Butterfly. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 21:18) this is a reply to message 108,444
