Re: Happy 30th anniversary Mariah Carey (94,393) (94,406) by Edouard from France Mine was called "MC & Me". (Saturday 20 June 2020; 04:01)

Great documentary (94,405) by Tijl from Belgium This was recently uploaded on YouTube. A documentary that analyzes the Vocal Trinity. Unfortunately only available in French. (Friday 19 June 2020; 10:45)

Re: Jack Reacts (94,402) (94,404) by Susana from USA Well thank you Tevin for the recommendation to watch it. He brightens my day to see a new young lamb in the making. (Friday 19 June 2020; 06:45)

Re: Jack Reacts (94,400) (94,403) by Edouard from France Yeah. I really like his videos. He's such an rnb lover. Willing to expand his knowledge of the genre. He reminds me of me. I remember listening to the rnb hiphop quiet storm segments in the middle of the night a while back. (Friday 19 June 2020; 04:35)

Re: Jack Reacts (94,400) (94,402) by Tevin from USA Susana, I mentioned Jack's channel to everyone on here, so thanks for the thank you. I'm glad you like his channel. I've currently been blowing up his comments asking for him to react to some newer Mariah material like Ribbon. Lol. It's cool to see that he became a lamb. I still love his Caution reactions the most, how he went into depth about how great and modern the production is even though the vocals may not be all in your face like Mariah's previous work.

Re: What will Mariah be remembered for? (94,396) (94,401) by IheartMC from USA Several other things. Hero, Fantasy, Heartbreaker, We Belong Together, Emotions to name a few. She is 30 years into her career and she is still relevant. Also her resilience is unmatched so I think it's safe to say she is good and is legendary. I don't think she is done quite yet. I think she has another redemption song looming. You can't count her out that is when she rises. (Thursday 18 June 2020; 14:08)

Jack Reacts (94,400) by Susana from USA A few months ago someone on here recommended a teenager's reaction videos on YouTube and his channel is called Jack Reacts. Thank you so much for recommending this. I don't usually watch reaction videos because I feel like they just get old after a while and he's just so refreshing. He's become a true fan of hers and his channel is overwhelmingly Mariah. He currently has over 80 reaction videos of her. He is really adorable in his reactions. His latest video is All In Your Mind. He's lately been referring to her earlier work as curly headed Mariah, and today said it's his favorite era. Thought I would share in case anyone wants to check it out.

Re: What will Mariah be remembered for? (94,396) (94,399) by Bill from the UK Hard to say when she hopefully has many, many years ahead of her to keep adding to her huge list of accomplishments. AIWFCIY is of course her lasting legacy in terms of perennial popularity, and rightly so. But she also pioneered an entire genre with the Fantasy remix, arguably the most important recording of her career. As well as that, she ushered in a whole new melismatic singing style for the next generation with Vision of Love. I also think Hero will be an airplay mainstay on adult contemporary stations for as long as radio remains around. I really don't think a song as universally lauded as AIWFCIY is a bad thing to be remembered for. I could write a thesis about that song, and I'm sure someone will at some point. It really is a perfect song. (Wednesday 17 June 2020; 22:29)

Re: Honey (94,395) (94,398) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You lost me at "Andrew... lovemaking... facetime..." but I shall be pleased knowing that you will be thinking of me. Well, at least for a couple of minutes, anyway, right? (Wednesday 17 June 2020; 22:08)

Re: What will Mariah be remembered for? (94,396) (94,397) by Andrew from the United Kingdom That's well depressing. The Christmas song will ensure Mariah is revisited every year by generations to come, long after she and we have turned to dust and other artists are just mentions in articles or music history books. However, I would, were I Mariah's manager, plan something huge for next year: a star-studded concert to celebrate 3 decades in the music industry, filmed over 2 nights, professionally filmed, featuring global superstars. I would make this outdoor concert the most talked about performance, donating all proceeds to charity. Mariah Carey and Friends Celebrating 3 decades of the Songbird Supreme London's Hyde Park June xx and xx 2021 With very special guests: Beyoncé Jay-Z Taylor Swift Justin Bieber Rihanna Ariana Grande Backstreet Boys Eminem Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston 1. It's Like That 2. Dreamlover 3. Heartbreaker (ft. Jay-Z) 4. Obsessed (ft. Eminem) 5. I'll Be There (ft. Justin Bieber) 6. Fantasy 7. Shake It Off/Shake It Off (ft. Taylor Swift) 8. My All/My All (Morales Club Mix ft. Rihanna) 9. Emotions (ft. Ariana Grande) 10. Vision of Love (ft. Beyoncé) 11. We Belong Together 12. Chain of Fools (ft. Aretha Franklin) 13. One Sweet Day (ft. Backstreet Boys) 14. When You Believe (ft. Whitney Houston on video) 15. Always Be My Baby (ft. audience participation) 16. Hero 17. Anytime You Need A Friend (ft. London Gospel Choir) This would be the concert to end all concerts and solidify Mariah as one of the greatest and most powerful artists of all time. I can just imagine the fireworks going up soon after the sun had set, exploding as Mariah hits the whistle note of AYNAF, and, beaming from ear to ear and shouting "Thank you, London, goodnight." I should be Mariah's manager. (Wednesday 17 June 2020; 22:05)

What will Mariah be remembered for? (94,396) by Joachim Agerup Lřkkevik from Norway Please help me guys, I'm in a bit of a depressed mood and think that the only thing Mariah will be remembered [for] is "All I Want For Christmas is You". Tell me, what else will Mariah be known for? (Wednesday 17 June 2020; 18:56)

Re: Honey (94,394) (94,395) by Bobby A from United States Andrew, I like the way you are thinking. Summer lovemaking: Joyride. Can we face time this coming Saturday? I would love to talk to you. (Wednesday 17 June 2020; 01:28)

Re: Happy 30th anniversary Mariah Carey (94,390) (94,393) by Terna from Nigeria "I too remember my radio taping days." Tell me about [it], I had a "When You Believe “ tape I made. Haha. (Tuesday 16 June 2020; 21:34)

Mariah Alexa (94,392) by Terna from Nigeria This made me chuckle . (Tuesday 16 June 2020; 21:27)

Re: Honey (94,389) (94,391) by Bill from the UK You misspelt Fantasy. (Tuesday 16 June 2020; 19:45)

Re: Happy 30th anniversary Mariah Carey (94,385) (94,390) by Edouard from France Hi Terna. I love Alone in Love. Very subdued, very simple, elegant and mature. For some reason it reminds me of some Phill Collins' slow jams from the time. Very quite storm 80's RnB also. BTW, I too remember my radio taping days. (Tuesday 16 June 2020; 15:50)

Honey (94,389) by Edouard from France Honey is the best song of summer ever. (Tuesday 16 June 2020; 15:45)

Re: Ranking the number 1s (94,387) (94,388) by Andrew from the United Kingdom The way you describe Honey is almost the way I would describe #Beautiful. I think that dong could have been a sound of a summer. But the lazy vocal, crap production, and lack of middle 8 and melodic development made the song feel like a big of a joke. But it actually had the makings of a modern classic. A bit like The Art Of Letting Go. I think both of those tracks could have been something spectacular but they lacked confidence and faded into nothing. So many missed opportunities, all the more painful given we are having to put Thank God I Found You and I Don't Wanna Cry into lists of greats. (Monday 15 June 2020; 19:26)

Re: Ranking the number 1s (94,382) (94,387) by Bill from the UK I've never been that enamored with Honey. It's okay, but always been a bit mediocre and I group it with Babydoll in terms of Butterfly tracks and what I could live without. At first listen I was massively underwhelmed, especially following the perfection of Daydream. I think it's one of her worst-sung songs, very nasally and raspy and disjointed. The video is better than the song by miles. Touch My Body was fun and unique and a little bit different from the norm. I loved the video, and still do. I get where Honey sits in terms of it being the launching pad for New Mariah, and why so many love it, but it was as if Classic Mariah was killed off with a dull, rusty, blunt blade.

Re: Emotions LP (94,381) (94,386) by MusicfanJ from Germany That sounds wonderful Bill. The magic of vinyl is something a lot of the youngsters will never understand. Streaming wiil never be an experience. So enjoy your records. I love the debut and "Emotions" so much. Heaven for music lovers. (Monday 15 June 2020; 14:36)

Re: Happy 30th anniversary Mariah Carey (94,369) (94,385) by Terna from Nigeria That's so cool and yes "Alone in Love" too is one of my favorites from the [debut] and also actually the first song I heard from it when I first heard the whole album play on radio late one night. (I think a Lamb was on air that night programming her music. Lol.) I captured the moment on tape too. (Monday 15 June 2020; 01:04)

The meaning of Mariah (94,383) by amends from Germany Don't know if it's true, but saw a post of Germany's biggest book retailer uploading the title "The meaning of Mariah" with the description: "This is Mariah Carey's journey to superstar status." (Sunday 14 June 2020; 19:13)

Re: Ranking the number 1s (94,365) (94,382) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I thought I would do my own list before reading yours and see how they compare. They're reasonably similar. Although how you think that Touch My Body is s better song than Honey is beyond my comprehension. 1. Fantasy 2. All I Want For Christmas Is You 3. Always Be My Baby 4. Hero 5. Dreamlover 6. Emotions 7. Honey 8. Heartbreaker ft Jay-Z 9. Love Takes Time 10. We Belong Together 11. I’ll Be There 12. Without You 13. Vision of Love 14. My All 15. One Sweet Day 16. Touch My Body 17.
