The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,772) by Shezz from Pk Yes she would have sounded so good on this remix indeed. I think Ariana's team learned from their previous mistake and released it soon. Is it the exact same though or are there different lyrics/verses? (Saturday 22 June 2024; 15:48) this is a reply to message 106,770

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,770) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The remix was such a a good one. I didn't expect Mariah to be on a second remix on the same album ofcourse but I wish instead of YAR, she was on this one. She also released the remix for this so soon after the OG, whereas YAR had a gap. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 06:01)

Remastered Rainbow album (106,771) by Jamie from UK Yes it's crazy I've been hearing lots a vocals I'd never heard before. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 09:00) this is a reply to message 106,762

Remastered Rainbow album (106,762) by Terna from Nigeria First off, I'm loving the attention this album is getting, as it's one of her hidden gems. I played the record on speakers for the first time yesterday, been listening on Airpods all this while. I noticed her voice is placed forward and center, and the sound quality is polished and overall more rounded, with a cleaner sound, than the original version. This makes the ballads pop, the vocals on TGIFY less muddy and reveals parts on the songs one did not catch before, listening to "Bliss" was an experience. Remastering records sometimes marrs an album, this one makes it better. Thumbs up Mariah. (Friday 21 June 2024; 14:53)

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,768) by Robert-Anthony from United States Well, Ariana chose Brandy and Monica for The Boy Is Mine remix. It makes sense. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 01:49)

Rainbow 25 (106,769) by "MariahHater" from Hell This is my most least spun album of hers. This re release made me drop my jaw on how'd she pulled an album in less than a year with 2 No. 1s. Totally not my repetitive album but this album slaps so hard. Had new found appreciation with Petals, Rainbow Interlude, Rainbow's End (despite lacking big house vocals). Living in the 90s might be something I will be pondering all over my life. I really wish to see a Mariah resurgence aside from Christmas. Excited for Glitter and Charmie 25. I believe she is the only artist that can celebrate her album anniversaries with pride and power because she did this organically. Some says her number ones are forgettable and I believe not because depending on which continent you are, Mariah has at least 5 unforgettable songs etched into their bloodstream regardless of age group. Yes there are the new pop gurlies out there but nobody ever did something like dem oldies. Calling and manifesting to the universe to grant thy wish of having to see her number 1 outside Christmas again. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 05:02)

Thank God I Found You (original) (106,767) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have been listening to TGIFY a lot lately too. Also, I finally listened to Xscape's One of Those Love Songs this week. I still don't understand why Warryn Campbell filed a copyright infringement lawsuit. I don't see the similarity at all.

Thank God I Found You (original) (106,766) by Randy from USA I know this is the most vilified number one but it's growing on me again. I like the lyric a lot and it's kinda undeniably a reach for a chart topper. I like the Rainbow album, always have. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 00:12)

Album coming soon? (106,758) by Shezz from Pk That picture looks like her Victoria Secret shoot from last Christmas. They’re just saying what Mariah said herself. Album coming soon. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 20:10)

Remastered Rainbow album (106,764) by Robert-Anthony from United States Terna, this is great news. I am really concerned that we won't experience the same sound quality when the remastered audio is transferred to picture disc. I am just not a fan of colored vinyl. Black vinyl produces the best sound. I hope a CD version will be available this fall even though it has not been announced yet. I know Sony wants to capitalize on those picture disc preorders before making a CD announcement. Does anyone know of an online music retailer who will allow you to create a CD online?

Tiny Desk (106,763) by Brandon from USA Shezz, I totally agree with you. The confidence is just not there for her to do the Tiny Desk with no help. She has come to rely on backing tracks to hit those big notes because she doesn't trust her voice to do it anymore. Also, she knows she used studio tricks when recording many of these songs so it would be difficult for her to sing many of them all live anyway. If she got creative, reworked her songs, and adapted them to her current voice, she could do it. Unfortunately, she doesn't trust her voice to do what it needs to anymore which is why she always looks tense and stiff on stage these days.

Tiny Desk (106,756) by Shezz from Pk I think that is C's well informed opinion based on the last few years' live performances. She would have nothing here to fall back on, no backing tracks, no play backs and if the last couple of years have showed us anything it's that MC won't perform without them. Although I 100 percent believe she is capable of giving us a great Tiny Desk performance similar to what she did with Jimmy Fallon for AIWFCIY and the piano impromptu performance. I don't think she's not in good voice, she has lost the confidence in herself and her voice even though she has shown us flashes of it from time to time. Maybe she feels she can't do it at a stretch. It's still a mystery what happens to her during live performances. Maybe it's the perfectionist in her that doesn't want her audience to hear anything off. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 18:08)

Praying for the album (106,760) by Robert-Anthony from United States If a long time between albums happened in the 90s, I wonder what would be MC's response for the long wait. MC would probably say that she wants to record more songs to sequence the album perfectly or correct some vocal moments. Being the perfectionist that she is, it has to be really hard for her in 2024. She has to have at least 50 songs recorded by now. Right? (Friday 21 June 2024; 12:24) this is a reply to message 106,759

Tiny Desk (106,753) by whisperingmisunderstandings from USA That would be a good venue for her, because it's a controlled environment, and not a full concert with a big audience. So she could adjust the setlist to her current voice, do a medley instead of full songs, throw in some remixes, etc, whatever she needs to do to feel relaxed. And it's unplugged so her improvisational skills can really shine. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 03:05) this is a reply to message 106,745

Tiny Desk (106,745) by Robert-Anthony from United States If her latest Instagram post is any indication of what she can do now without any studio tricks, then I believe she would crush a Tiny Desk concert this year.

Tiny Desk (106,741) by Brandon from USA Tiny Desk is the new MTV Unplugged. Everyone has been on there and it is very popular. You guys think MC would do the Tiny Desk? It could be great promo and she would have to sing 100% live. No vocal tracks allowed. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 21:35)

Rainbow Mariah (106,751) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Rainbow Mariah" was really fun and so humble. As you described it perfectly, she looked so carefree and sweet all the time. How I love the Homecoming special from 99. Plus all the interviews and concerts around the world. The tv appearances and interviews in Italy and UK are wonderful. The one in Japan is the cutest where she gets a robot cat-toy or something like that. Her smile was always heartwarming. I love her looks during "Rainbow era" too. Her natural beauty were always showing. And the Rainbow album was perfect for the ending of the 90ies. That Mariah finished it in 3 months is remarkable. That we now have new remixes is great. I enjoy them a lot. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 17:32) this is a reply to message 106,748

Rainbow Mariah (106,748) by Mara from United States Living through all of Mariah's album releases and "eras" in real time, I've always said that "Rainbow Mariah" always seemed like someone I could be best friends with. So much fun. I don't know if it was the fact that she proved herself since Tommy already with Butterfly or what, but everything during Rainbow was so carefree. No jewelry, fancy dresses, just pure fun and remixes for days. I know the vocals were not perfection but that's what I loved. The organic rasp was everything. She just seemed so carefree not to mention we got the best live performances and acceptance speeches ever from #1's leading into Rainbow. FunRiah is what I remember during that time. Not to mention she was always a trendsetter. Having Jay-Z on Heartbreaker when she had the song "How Much" with Usher and it sampling Tupac "Me and My Girlfriend" way before J and Beyonce. She always was ahead of the game or shall I say industry. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 05:05)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,743) by Libra Lamb from USA That’s right. The only acceptance that matters is your own. Other people’s opinions, family included, do not matter. No one lives their life according to us so why should we do the same? Choose yourself, every time. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 00:34)
