Non single favorites (93,011) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Everything fades away Do you think of me Slipping away When I feel it (Sunday 23 February 2020; 19:06)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,998) (93,010) by Licia from USA Mine would have to be Fourth of July. I have been listening to that one on repeat lately. (Sunday 23 February 2020; 17:40)

Slipping Away on IG (93,009) by Licia from USA Mariah just posted this clip of her and her background singers singing Slipping Away. It was a nice little vocal moment. (Sunday 23 February 2020; 17:30)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (93,008) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "So I wondered, if you were being honest - and I mean absolutely honest and not just trying to associate yourself with a track because you think it makes you seem cool or saying two or three tracks because you're such a lamb and "ohhh you just cant decide" - to what non-single track do you *actually* honestly listen and go to the most?" I can not stop laughing. Well done to Bill and Dove for actually naming the *one* non-single track they listen to the most in real life. To people writing lists: I literally asked what was the *one* non-single you listen to the most - the honest answer. I tell people my favourite Mariah Carey song is Hero. It probably is as it always meant a lot to me and I sing it in karaoke (Mariah Carey-oke) if there's vodka involved. But I don't listen to it much anymore - if at all - even if I say it's my favourite. The song I listen to most is actually Always Be My Baby. But it's not what I would tell people is my favourite. And not what I would tell people is her best song. Fantasy is a better song than ABMB, for example. And so with non-singles. If I was going to play just one non-single to a non-fan I would probably play Lead The Way. I think it's amazing; it's a masterpiece Yet it occurred to me I don't listen to it much. But I tell Alexa to play Languishing *all* the time. I love the melody and vocal. And so there's the point of what I thought would be an interesting survey. To ask people the one song they *actually* listen to the most that is - perhaps - not what they'd put in a random meaningless list of songs that popped into their head for that they think signals something about their deep souls. I was also thinking about singles that I absolutely do not like listening to. Songs that I would tell people are amazing but honestly never actually listen to. I haven't listened to We Belong Together in 10 years. I actually cannot stand listening to it anymore. Maybe because, out of a catalogue of hundreds of songs, that song, like My All, is constantly shoved down our throats (or into our ear holes). But if someone asked me I would run over liberally about what a perfect ballad it is. It's almost the same with My All, but despite not listening to the single version in about 15 years, the remixes are too juicy to never play. "Don't leave, don't don't leave..." Bet that's stuck in your head all day now. (Sunday 23 February 2020; 13:13)

List of non-single favorites (93,007) by enwar00 from usa Create a playlist and drink until you're an alcoholic like Mimi. MC: Alone in Love, Sent From Up Above, Prisoner Emotions: To Be Around You Music Box: Music Box Daydream: Long Ago, Melt Away Butterfly: Fourth of July Rainbow: Bliss, How Much, Vulnerability (I hate the recording of this album, dunno what kind of bootleg studio was in Capri) Glitter: Lead the Way, All My Life I'd rather listen to Miss You or even There Goes My Heart than anything on Charmbracelet. Mimi: Circles, Your Girl E=MC2: Side Effects, Love Story (this album is a fave, really does feel like it's full of singles) Memoirs: Candy Bling, Standing O (love how the bass bumps in the car), More Than Just Friends MIAMTEC: Faded, Dedicated. Another fave, and I agree with those who've said removing some tracks (be gone Supernatural, One More Try, Heavenly) woulda made it 100 (not the song, gross). And I woulda rather had The Art of Letting Go close it instead of Camouflage. Caution: Caution, One Mo' Gen, Stay Long Love You (which I hated at first) (Sunday 23 February 2020; 07:16)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,998) (93,005) by Shezz from Pk Bill you stole mine. "Do you think of me" gives me the feels. Unrequited love - ugh. (Sunday 23 February 2020; 04:51)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (93,004) by Dove from United States I hate that it's not a song she wrote but: Heavenly (No Ways Tired/Can't Give Up Now). (Sunday 23 February 2020; 02:53)

Not judging (93,003) by Dove from United States I was not judging and I hope she is better now. We all go through stuff. I even admitted I gained a bunch of weight after my divorce from overindulging in fried food and sugar. That seemed like a safer way to soothe myself but was also an unhealthy way to cope. No matter what I'm on her side and nothing is going to make me stop supporting her. I just want her to be healthy because even though I don't know her I care about her.

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (93,002) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Fourth Of July. It's a masterclass in vocal layering, harmonization and painting a pretty picture with words. It's the one of the most saccharine of her entire discography, but to me has the prettiest melodies and ad-libs from beginning to end - almost too pretty for its own good. Some dismiss it as one of the unremarkable tracks on Butterfly or a lesser version of Underneath The Stars, but I personally adore it. From my most played list, It's A Wrap is consistently second, followed by Make It Look Good, then Subtle Invitation and (since UTS had a limited single release) rounding up my top 5 is Melt Away (which is sometimes replaced by Circles depending on my mood).

Re: A joke (92,979) (93,001) by RibbonB from USA I agree with you on this Myles. People are being more morose and what not about this picture now, than they were when she was spiraling and in the midst of the nightmare. Hopefully she has come through a bit to the other side of this drama. I have mentioned this outstanding drama many times on this board, but I do believe it will be settled. Hopefully she has gotten the help she has needed for whatever her issues are. Only she knows and I wouldn't take the word of her pathetic brother or a disgruntled clown.

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (92,998) by Bill from the UK Not only is mine not a single, it's not even an album track. Do You Think of Me is one of the most beautiful songs she has ever written. We have all been there and thought those thoughts. Unrequited love is one of the hardest things we go through in this world. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 23:11)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (92,996) by enwar00 from usa Of all people to go for a lighter note. Thank you though I can't take the dourness. You want people to pick just one yet mentioned three but that's ok I shall oblige. And this is the truth so don't act like I'm trying to act cool. Slipping Away. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 22:37)

We care about MC (92,995) by Tijl from Belgium The last days the message board hit a rather delicate yet important matter. Is Mariah an alcoholic persé? The subject touches nerves as it is beyond regular fandom. I for one have written quite some posts about her issues with substance abuse. Am I in the wrong? I really do not think I have crossed a line. There is blatant proof. In my defence and hers. Suffering from substance abuse does not define one as a "bad" person. It is a sign of personal struggles and feelings of inadequacy. I love and adore Mariah. Ask anyone in my life. I worship her and she has been there in the good times, the bad ones and everything in between. I love her because she is such a fighter, a survivor and never will be defeated. Yet, we all know as "normal" people that living life gets to you. Heartbreaks, disappointments and breaking of trust. None of us are spared from the hardships of life and for every victory there is a price to pay. I will always support my girl because she has always - unknowingly - been there for me. She is in my heart always and my biggest wish is to be able to gratify her in the flesh one day. I know she is a fighter and I know she will bounce back. She always has before. And concerning the vocal decline? Of course it is intertwined with her lifestyle. I don't care. She has nothing left to prove. I only wish her peace of mind and happiness. Always my hero.

Yes for more interactions (92,994) by Lara from Middle East Love comments like these, I really appreciate when she drops off the diva attitude. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 21:18)

Re: A joke (92,981) (92,993) by Myles from CT, USA Shame on me? Shame on you all for speculating that she is an alcoholic. That's a very personal and shameful disease. The truth of the matter is it's non of our business. The only person that can help Mariah is Mariah herself. I'm actually shocked at what I'm reading. You would have to be a fool to not realize all the things we wish we could change about her current state. Who are we to bring light to something she may not or may be ready to admit? You might as well black mail her like this current lawsuit. This is absolutely insane. My love for her runs deep and I only wish the best. If and when she is ready I am sure she will all send our support. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 19:33)

Re: A joke (92,983) (92,992) by Tevin from USA I agree, yes I'm happy for Mariah's recent success, but to turn a blind eye to a problem that she most likely has, is very delusional. I'd rather and as most fans and decent human beings would, rather have Mariah lose all her records, just to get her voice health and mental stability back and in check. I don't want to wake up one day and hear that Mariah has had a serious injury or worse . It's time to address the elephant in the room. I will continue to support her, but, I'm not going to turn a blind eye when there is a problem. But as long as we all are still breathing and blessed with another day of life, we all including Mariah can improve our lives. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 17:24)

Brighton Pride (92,991) by Bobby A from United States It would be so nice for MC to debut a brand new uptempo jam about acceptance, self-love, and equality at the Brighton Pride festival. I would say that David Guetta, Disclosure, Stargate or Skillrex could do the production. I just hope she doesn't waste the opportunity to put out something new. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 17:09)

Concern (92,990) by Edward from USA I think it's important showing concern for a person we adore about any addiction, it's one of the ways we can help, especially somebody like Mariah. When it comes to addiction is not as easy as telling somebody to quit, but showing concern instead turning a blind lamb eye is important. We all know, not only through videos, but through her brother and even Eminem that Mariah has a problem with alcohol, and alcohol and bipolar meds is a cocktail for disaster. I hope for the sake of her children that she takes good care of herself. Sadly, addiction is way more complicated than that, look what happened to Whitney and then her own daughter, also the two Michaels had their own demons in that area. Mariah is still young, with a lot to give and a gift from heaven. What's happening to her voice is heartbreaking to me, even though some blind lambs think is just ok for this or that reason.

Non-single favourites (92,989) by Andrew from the United Kingdom On a lighter note, I just listened to Languishing for perhaps the thousandth time and it occured to be it may be the non-single track I listen to the most. It used to be All I've Ever Wanted or Till The End Of Time when I was younger but it's probably definitely Languishing, now. So I wondered, if you were being honest - and I mean absolutely honest and not just trying to associate yourself with a track because you think it makes you seem cool or saying two or three tracks because you're such a lamb and "ohhh you just cant decide" - what non-single track do you *actually* honestly listen go to the most? (Saturday 22 February 2020; 14:06)

Re: A joke (92,979) (92,988) by Andrew from the United Kingdom People really need to stop saying Mariah "just scored another number one". No, she did not. 1994 Mariah scores another number one. 2020 Mariah doesn't have a hope in hell. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 13:59)

Addictions (92,987) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Mariah is an addict. But addicts aren't really defined by the extent to which they do something but more so the inability to resist the initial impulse. Mariah clearly has behaviours which are detrimental to her life - things that harm her image and her career, things that affect her voice, her size, her actions. Smoking drugs and drinking copiously when you have one of the most beautiful - and sensitive - voices in the world is like winning the lottery and then pissing your money up the wall. Having a hot body and beautiful face then over eating and slapping on clown make-up is exactly the same thing. I do not think I will ever understand why Mariah drove her image and her career like a freight train through the tunnel walls. I have long argued that people need to tell her the truth and have been screamed at on here by the emotionally frail teen fangirl-like lambs. But I am glad people finally accept something is quite wrong and has been for quite a while. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 13:58)
