Re: #Justice4Charmbracelet is 18 on iTunes (93,928) (93,937)

I go back and forth between Rainbow and Charmbracelet being her worst album. I listened to Rainbow this past week and there are a couple songs I love so in this moment I'll go with Charmbracelet. Nonetheless I'm only happy that it's #1 on iTunes. Big picture it's a Mariah album at #1. No sense in being Debbie Downer.

I agree with Daydream. It's also my favourite and deserves even much more recognition. As much as I love the first album, Buttetfly, and TEOM, I think Daydream captures Mariah at her best. It was eclectic, and it was the last time Mariah went that pop with Fantasy, in my opinion one of the best songs in her catalogue. I didn't like it at first but through the years I realized how good it is and how much I miss Mariah doing a pop song. Daydream contains some of her best vocals, great arrangements (Daydream Interlude), it has an urban sound (Underneath The Stars, Long Ago, Fantasy), timeless ballads (Open Arms, I Am Free), classic catchy tunes (Always Be My Baby) and some deep lyrics (Looking In). I wish people would remember her for this masterpiece rather than for Merry Christmas. I would like that Mariah and her team would put the same effort in this aniversary as they did last year with the 25th aniversary of Merry Christmas. I love Merry Christmas, don't get me wrong. It's just that I'm tired of the anual AIWFCIY tour, reminding us she's the queen Of Christmas extravaganza and all that. But If she doesn't want AIWFCIY to eclipse a 30 year spanning career she should put the same attention and efforts on promoting the rest of her catalogue.

Rainbow sold 8 million worldwide, was given 3/5 by Rolling Stone Magazine and spawned 2 No.1 singles in the United States and 1 No.1 single in the United Kingdom. Songs from the album are still performed live on stage today.
Charmbracelet sold 3 million worldwide, was awarded 2/5 by Rolling Stone Magazine and spawned nada No.1 singles. Which is, coincidentally, also how many songs from Charmbracelet are performed live on stage today.
I saw Mariah live in London many times during the Charmbracelet promo and it was an amazing time in my life. But the songs were really underwhelming. Also, if anyone says "cohesive body of work", just remember, you're actually saying "nothing stands out because all the bland songs sound the same".

Funeral (93,934)
by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
| |
|
|
I know this might be a morbid question, but which Mariah song would you have liked to be played at your funeral?
If I had died today, my family would have known that I would have wanted a Mariah song to be played at my funeral, but I don't think they would have known which song.
The song I would have wanted to be played is "Butterfly".

I think Mariah's best album must be the album you would hand to a non-fan who has never heard her before. For me it would be Daydream. Actually I would hand them Greatest Hits but that may be cheating. Although it would probably make the most sense to try to push it to the top of the iTunes chart so that people are reminded of her wider catalogue. I don't think anyone I know has ever heard of Charmbracelet and I'd like it to stay that way.

E=MC2 (93,932)

My favourite track from E=MC2 is IBLYLT, and this performance is divine. The opening is incredible, it's like the big bang is marching in to Mariah.

The Dream's Wee Hour (93,929)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Now this is a hot song that Mimi needs to jump on the remix with The Dream and Kiana Lede. The album version with Jhiene Aiko is a perfect combination. This is The Dream's best song in years.

No. It's not. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the overuse of whispered vocals, but songs like Irresistible, Bringin' On The Heartbreake, Clown, etc make it a good r&b álbum to listen to at home. Not Mariah at her best but a good effort. I think that "Rainbow" is her worst, thought I love the singles.

I'm That Chick (93,927)
by Bobby A from United States

I just now realized that I'm That Chick is the same track from Ne-Yo's Because Of You. I wonder which one was recorded first. Can somebody post a mashup of the two songs?

Charmbracelet (93,926)

The Charmbracelet album has some of Mariah's best writing and storytelling however vocally she seemed disconnected and uncertain of herself but I understand since it was right after the Glitter era. It is great to see people checking out her back catalog because in my opinion Mariah has one of the best musical catalogs in pop music.

Charmbracelet, not the best in my opinion, but definitely not the worst. You've probably said before, but what's the best album in your opinion? Personally Charmbracelet has some songs that I love, but not a cohesive album I think.

Charmbracelet is Mariah's worst album. Why push for it to be listened to? It will put off potential fans. Would think it better to push Daydream. It is its 25th anniversary in 5 months after all.

I like TMB, M, IBLYLT as the first three then I would do Side Effects to finish off the singles as it's kinda an uptempo ballad and something very different for her. Then instead of Memoirs I would've re-released E=MC2 with Obsessed. (And tack on Betcha, HATEU, and It's a Wrap.)

Big Tip (93,921)
by Andrew from the United Kingdom
| |
|
|
So Celine Dion's son Rene Charles is a rapper named Big Tip. He recorded this. I do not know what is going on Chez Celine but somebody needs to check the water. I'm even reasonably sure that at 1:05 he raps something like "I'm Mariah... and I'm on fire". FML. I got a big tip for him and he ain't gonna like it. 2020 is too weird. Just stop the planet, I'm getting off.

E=MC2 (93,920)
by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City)
| |

If I was MC's A&R during this era I would have chosen the following singles to represent the album: 1. TMB worked as a great lead off single. 2. Migrate would worked as a nice follow up as it fit perfectly with the time and it was a different vibe for MC. 3. I'll Be Loving U Long Time is a perfect summer vibe and definitely would have been released during the summer. 4. For The Record this was the best ballad on the album in my opinion, it was fresh but also had classic MC vibes all over it.
