Re: Loverboy Firecracker (94,058) (94,061) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I think everyone is missing the main point about the Firecracker sample: it's just plain awful. (Monday 11 May 2020; 16:25)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wears bandana as a mask (94,059) (94,060) by Dennis from Miami, FL As a proof of being a real lamp I will profess: 1. Migrate should have been a single. 2. I don't know her. 3. #Justice4theremixes, #justice4theplaylist, #justicethecollection, #justice4#1toinfinity (Monday 11 May 2020; 01:04)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wears bandana as a mask (94,056) (94,059) by Edward from USA You don't seem to be a real lamb. Mariah started using push-up bras when she started her Rainbow project. That's why her tits are so big. (Sunday 10 May 2020; 18:13)

Re: Loverboy Firecracker (94,044) (94,058) by Musti from UK There was another Firecracker remix done by Elijah in the early 2000s. Sadly I can't seem to find it on YouTube. That was a really great remix. Does anyone remember Elijah's Mariah remixes? I wonder what happened to him. He was really good. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 22:26)

Re: Loverboy Firecracker (94,055) (94,057) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines What's ironic about using the Firecracker sample for J.Lo's I'm Real is that the original version of the song which interpolates it failed to make a significant impact on the charts. Such waste of a great loop for a bad Janet-aping track. Tommy decided that the level of pettiness wasn't enough so he got I'm Real remixed with Ja Rule to get a hit, and to once again torment Mariah who had a very similar sounding track If We. Well, Tommy's machinations worked. He hurt Mariah and got a #1 for J.Lo. Cut to about 4 years later when he's ringing up people just to know how Mariah's new CD fared. TEOM went to #1, sir, thank you very much. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 20:40)

Article: Mariah Carey wears bandana as a mask (94,056) by Dennis from Miami, FL This bandana looks like the bra from the Loverboy video. And Mariah doesn't not wear any bra. Apology for being Captain Obvious. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 19:49)

Re: Loverboy Firecracker (94,047) (94,055) by Dennis from Miami, FL Just go to #Idontknowher 2nd album, track #2. That [is] the original version of Loverboy with the Firecracker sample. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 19:46)

RIP Little Richard (94,054) by RibbonB from USA What a legend, the "architect" of rock and roll indeed. So flamboyant and far ahead of his time. There's already some decent biopics of his life, but it might be time for s bigger grander one starting Jamie Foxx. RIP Reverend Richard Penniman. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 18:22)

Random question (94,053) by Bobby A from United States Has anyone been recording The Young and Restless classic episodes that aired April 27th - May 8th. I missed recording those two weeks for my soap opera collection. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 16:07)

Loverboy (94,052) by Billy from Greece Although the chorus could fit Firecracker, I love and prefer the Cameo sample for all the dissonance it creates. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 10:59)

Re: Lyrics (94,043) (94,051) by Scott from USA Ha ha ha. Thanks for the link. "F@$. like a whale," so funny. (Saturday 9 May 2020; 02:10)

Re: Loverboy Firecracker (94,044) (94,050) by Tijl from Belgium The entire composition falls into place and becomes a much better song. Could have been a #1. (Friday 8 May 2020; 22:32)

Can you imagine the amount of new music coming? (94,049) by Susana from USA I sure hope it is mounds and mounds of new music. I think this will be the biggest break that she's had and maybe since she became famous. I would hope she puts out a new album this year. I would think with so much time on her hands maybe record a jazz album after that and keep it on hold until the right time. Her memoirs have got to be getting some really good attention too. She does have Kristoffer with her, so maybe she can do a little photo shoot since that can easily be done via 6ft. away. (Friday 8 May 2020; 22:28)

Re: Loverboy firecracker (94,044) (94,048) by Bobby A from United States Wow. This is really better for the melody of Loverboy. I love it. (Friday 8 May 2020; 22:23)

Re: Loverboy firecracker (94,044) (94,047) by ksquarred from paris Yes I've heard it, he did a good job, but the vocals are from the original song filtered to isolate vocals, and there's a huge loss in Mariah's voice. That's why I'm looking for the vocal only track, if it still exists somewhere. (Friday 8 May 2020; 20:54)

Re: Loverboy firecracker (94,044) (94,046) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The Firecracker sample definitely suits the melody better. I like the interpolation of Candy, but it just didn't feel "solid" enough for the melody to settle into, and so the resulting track does sound a little "empty" and it's the harmonies that save it most of the time. If you listen to the entire self-titled debut album by Yellow Magic Orchestra (a great album whose myriad of sounds were ahead of its time), that Firecracker is a part of, that synth riff is likely what you'll remember most out of the entire thing. Can't blame Mariah and her great ear for sampling for being drawn to that. (Friday 8 May 2020; 20:31)

Re: Did Mariah have an affair? (94,041) (94,045) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I noticed it too. Lullaby is a personal Mariah song. That she mentions "the roof on that rainy night" and "still melt away" makes it interesting. I love "Lullaby' as a song but I also always wonder who the man is she is singing about? Derek Jeter or a boyfriend from earlier days? (Friday 8 May 2020; 20:26)

Re: Loverboy firecracker (94,038) (94,044) by Hector from Mexico There's a fan made version of Loverboy with the Firecracker sample. (Friday 8 May 2020; 19:44)

Re: Lyrics (94,040) (94,043) by ktktkt from Philippines Are you talking about misheard lyrics? Please check here. (Friday 8 May 2020; 16:52)

Re: Lyrics (94,040) (94,042) by Bill from the UK Haha it's definitely "gotta have another taste". My most stupid misheard lyric was when I heard Miss You Most (at Christmas Time). I only had the cassette single of AIWFCIY so didn't have the lyrics. In the bridge, where she sings of the seasons, I thought "with the April rain" was "with the egg parade", which I took to be some US reference to Easter lol. (Friday 8 May 2020; 15:38)

Re: Did Mariah have an affair? (94,032) (94,041) by Bill from the UK I listened to Lullaby again this morning and there's another line I didn't pick up before, "I still melt away", that might also reference the epic Daydream cut. Also interesting take that she may be referencing someone pre-Tommy. You do read things from time to time about her being forced to break up with a boyfriend when she signed her deal, and also the rumour her and Ben Margulies were romantically involved at the time. Whoever this man is, if he was real and not just a songwriter's muse, they were still in touch for years afterwards. (Friday 8 May 2020; 15:05)

Lyrics (94,040) by Scott from USA Okay here's a stupid topic, feel free to shoot it down, but does anyone know of any lyrics in Mariah songs that don't match the album book lyrics or just any lyrics they don't understand in general? I always thought the first chorus in My All sounds like she sings "just one more night with him", rather than "you". Also never been certain of an ad lib in Honey "gotta have another taste". Is that right? Think the subtitles on the Around The World Tour day she sings "love thy saints" or something. I don't think so. (Friday 8 May 2020; 14:45)

Re: Did Mariah have an affair? (94,037) (94,039) by Andrew from the United Kingdom It was just an observation - one that I have made before. Clearly not bringing down "every" post you write. Chill, Bill. (Friday 8 May 2020; 13:37)

Loverboy firecracker (94,038) by ksquarred from paris Hey I have been obsessed on listening Loverboy as if it was meant to sound and trying to recreate it. Does anyone know if the studio outtakes are somewhere to be found? Lots of her "studio acapellas" can be found on YouTube but not Loverboy. (Friday 8 May 2020; 13:19)

Re: Did Mariah have an affair? (94,036) (94,037) by Bill from the UK I was just sharing some thoughts, must you bring down every post I write? (Friday 8 May 2020; 12:20)
