Re: Charmbracelet (92,580) (92,583) by Licia from USA Subtle Invitation never grabbed me. It's a nice song, but I skip it a lot. (Friday 24 January 2020; 23:40)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,578) (92,582) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I got it anyway. (Friday 24 January 2020; 22:20)

Re: The Marammys (92,574) (92,581) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Eddie, I mostly agree with you. But some alterations: Album (of the career): Butterfly Power ballad: All I've Ever Wanted Beautiful vocal ballad: Whenever You Call Up-Tempo: Fantasy (non-rap) Mid-Tempo: You Don't Know What To Do (is this mid tempo?) Cover: The Beautiful Ones (the "I may not know, I may not know" part is everything and everything after) Rare: Everything Fades Away (it's not rare for Europeans but it's still puts the awe in awesome) Lyrical: Languishing (baring your soul has never been so simple or subtle or moving.) Christmas: Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) Duet/Feature: Hero at Pavarotti and Friends (I don't have the words to describe it. The humility on her face, the wonder in his eyes, the harmony, the brave performance when she was clearly scrapping herself. That was Mariah sans bullshit. My dad, who hated her, said "wow". I have played it to death.) Live Performance: Anytime You Need A Friend (live at Proctors theatre - My brother, when he was 16 years old, watched it on VHS and said "I've never seen a person get so into her music" and I never forgot it. It was the first time I saw Mariah, also. We all sat aghast. We three brothers all later went on to travel to London to see Mariah in 1999.) Uptempo Remix: My All ("feel your body feel your body feel your body baby baby" - nothing beats the first time hearing that level of genius) R&B Remix: Honey (So So Def) (Its better than the original - the screaming st the end is fuh kin A. Adding:  Single that wasn't but should've been: You Don't Know What To Do (would've put her back on the map) (Friday 24 January 2020; 22:16)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,580) by Jeff from USA Licia, you don't like Subtle Invitation? That's one of the highlights on CB for me. I agree with you on You Got Me; that's a great song. I love the story behind Sunflowers more than I like the actual song. I don't think it was a good one vocally, but I can understand that emotion makes it difficult to sing. (Friday 24 January 2020; 22:13)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,575) (92,579) by Licia from USA I agree with most of your list, but I would take out Sunflowers (sad song I've only listened to once), I Only Wanted (not a fav), and Subtle Invitation (that one is meh to me). I'd add back You Got Me and You Had Your Chance. I'd also add The One remix at the add. Vocally it sucks (that's the one vocal CB moment where I cringed), but I love the use of the Goodbye Love sample by Guy. The only order of the songs I'd change is MSG has to be first for me. That's my song. (Friday 24 January 2020; 20:47)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,577) (92,578) by Tijl from Belgium That should have been "tantrum". Lol. (Friday 24 January 2020; 15:26)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,575) (92,577) by Tijl from Belgium Be careful to use "cohesive body of work". Some people get into a trantrum. (Friday 24 January 2020; 15:02)

Re: The Marammys (92,574) (92,576) by Bill from the UK Single that wasn't but should've been: Migrate (Friday 24 January 2020; 14:58)

Charmbracelet (92,575) by Bill from the UK I've been thinking about this album a lot lately (waves to Licia), and what it would take for me to engage with it fully. Part of the problem I have with it is the length of the album and the hushed/whispering vocals. My revised tracklisting would be as follows: 1. Through the Rain 2. The One (without rap version) 3. I Know What You Want 4. Yours 5. I Only Wanted 6. Clown 7. My Saving Grace 8. Subtle Invitation 9. Bringin' On the Heartbreak (single version) 10. Sunflowers 11. Through the Rain (remix) I've axed a lot of the filler and I think its condensed length makes it a more cohesive body of work. I upgraded IKWYW to a proper track rather than a bonus one, and included the single versions for BOTH and The One. I might go turn this into a playlist now actually. (Friday 24 January 2020; 13:50)

Re: The Marammys (92,566) (92,573) by Bobby A from United States This is a great topic. I have been so busy with work this week, who started this topic? Kudos. (Friday 24 January 2020; 12:31)

Re: Grammys (92,565) (92,572) by Musti from UK I hope something good comes out of this. I doubt that document is legit. Definitely a fan's type-up rather than a document with legal arguments. But at least it's cooking up quite well. Twitter seems pretty angry. (Friday 24 January 2020; 10:53)

Re: Grammys (92,561) (92,565) by RibbonB from USA I just read the same tweet, but amended by a Barb to have Nicki's name and Chun Li as AOTY. Lol, also fan fiction. (Thursday 23 January 2020; 21:38)

Re: Grammys (92,559) (92,561) by Musti from UK Caution was probably considered for the R&B categories. I'm prepared the believe the AOTY consideration too, seeing how they robbed her throughout her career and maybe thought it's about time they gave her her moment. It's no secret that a lot of sketchy politics come into play when it comes to the Grammys. Look no further than 2006. And I'm really not surprised these news are not all over Google yet as the Grammys are more than likely trying to keep it under wraps or try to burn Deborah Dugan wherever it has leaked.

Re: Grammys (92,558) (92,559) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Done with the lies? But you were only just getting started. You posted a tweet from a random person that smacks of conspiracy and propaganda - and lies - and are pushing it because it goes along with your other conspiracy theories even though it is yet to have any foundation. You talk absolute shite and everyone knows it. You convince nobody. (Thursday 23 January 2020; 09:07)
