Re: Miss You Most (91,464) (91,467) by B from USA Let's start a Twitter (social media) campaign. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 15:46)

Re: The Star live (91,457) (91,466) by B from USA Definitely. I was hoping she was going to re-record for MC25 but at least it's a song she can perform live that sounds better than the studio version. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 15:42)

Caution (91,465) by B from USA Caution is back on the R&B Album Sales chart this week at #22. It's definitely benefitting from AIWFCIY's popularity which is most likely what Epic assumed would happen last year. AIWFCIY is rising up the Hot 100 faster than ever before so Mariah just might score her 19th #1 this year. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 15:37)

Miss You Most (91,464) by ksquarred from paris Hey lambs. Do you think we could somehow get Mariah to sing "Miss you most" someday? With a twitter campaign or signs at her concerts? She never sings it, and to me it's such an underrated song. The lyrics are so powerful. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 13:07)

Re: The Star live (91,457) (91,463) by Terna from Nigeria You're right, it is indeed better than the studio version and it's completely live she ditched the background playback here. This put a big smile on my face and honestly I got chill when she hit the first chorus, with the way she turned back to look at her backup. Also her vocals here are much smoother than on the recording. I loved this song in 2017 when it dropped and I love it even more now. Thanks for sharing. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 12:32)

Guinness World Records (91,462) by Terna from Nigeria Who needs the Grammy's when you're making and breaking Guinness World Records like Mariah just did? Now that's a powerful world record that's gonna last, hers is one of the last songs included and recognized as one of the holiday classics. It will be playing long after were all gone. All I Want for Christmas could just be Mariah Carey's signature song. (Tuesday 26 November 2019; 12:20)

James Cordon taping (91,461) by Adam from Usa Hi lambs. I was lucky enough to get tickets to the taping for James Cordon [sic]. I'm having a hard time deciding if I am going to go. I'm in Phoenix and the taping is in LA. About a 5.5 hour drive each way. Taping starts at 4 and ends at 8. So if I drive home it will be nearly 2 am. Any thoughts on going to these tapings? Never been to one and was wondering if all the driving would be worth it. Happy holidays everyone. (Monday 25 November 2019; 15:36)

Re: The Star live (91,457) (91,460) by Bill from the UK That's a great video and performance, love her interaction with her children at the end. It's so clear how much they all adore each other. (Monday 25 November 2019; 10:09)

Re: BOTH (91,456) (91,459) by Bill from the UK Completely agree, it is much better than the original, and I love the Jackson 5, but Mariah's voice, Trey, the fact it's live, and the atmosphere of the thing really do elevate it to a level that the original can't get to. (Monday 25 November 2019; 10:03)

The Star live (91,457) by enwar00 from usa Is it just me or is this live version of The Star by far better than the studio version? (Monday 25 November 2019; 07:00)

Re: BOTH (91,452) (91,456) by Matty from Vancouver Canada You're correct. Maybe because I honestly almost think of her version as the original. I love the original, but mama owned "I'll be there". No shade to Jackson 5 or MJ. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 23:58)

Re: Slipping Away (91,453) (91,455) by Bobby A from United States I forgot to add this comment with earlier post. For some reason on my phone the website's discography section is not accessible. Websites and their functions are formatted differently on phones. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 14:52)

Re: Slipping Away (91,453) (91,454) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I love your story about Slipping Away. It is one of the best B-sides singles ever. I always wondered why it never made the album. Maybe because Tommy felt it was too telling of how their marriage was falling apart. If it was put on the album, it would have hurt the sales of the album. I really have been revisiting MC's body of work since I am on this MC vinyl high right now. This woman has a hugely impressive body of work. I hang on to every note and lyric when I listen an MC song. You're Mine made me tear up last month when I heard it in a convenience store. I just heard those low notes and the technical aspects in such a different way from the store's speaker. If you listen to every song she has released, you can tell she doesn't receive enough credit for being an innovator and awesome technical vocalist. Pink' s latest album shows some MC's vocal and technical influence. Oh well, I am rambling now. Only Lambs know and can appreciate gems like Slipping Away, Bliss, Everything Fades Away, Yours, My Saving Grace, It's A Wrap, Looking In, For The Record, The Beautiful Ones, The Wind, Faded, With You, and so on. Can you imagine MC's first box set when it is released one day? It is going to be a Garth Brooks career defining box set. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 11:39)

Re: Slipping Away (91,451) (91,453) by Bill from the UK Check out this website's very own huge discography section to answer that question. Slipping Away was only ever put out as a B-side to the Always Be My Baby CD single in the US, and the Open Arms CD single in Australia. To the best of my knowledge it never appeared on any European releases of either single, which is massively unfair, nor did it appear on any vinyl releases. I remember knowing about the song during the early days of the Internet, and how I used to read the lyrics online and wonder what it sounded like. Then, in HMV one sunny Saturday afternoon, I saw the Australian import CD of Open Arms, with the blue filtered cover. I almost passed it by, thinking it would mirror the "blue version" of the UK CD single, but when I picked up the little card sleeve and turned it over in my hand, imagine my shock to see that it had Slipping Away and the Spanish version of Open Arms on it. My dirty mitts grabbed it off the shelf so fast, I was like lightning. My heart was pounding and I started to sweat, Had I fallen so deep in my daydreams that I was imagining it? I couldn't believe my luck. I ditched my friends and used the money I had for the cinema to buy the CD (import singles were about £8, which was really expensive back then), and ran all the way home and then listened to it all weekend. Still one of my faves to this day. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 10:59)

Re: BOTH (91,449) (91,452) by Bill from the UK Matty, you forgot the first and fairest of them all - I'll Be There. By far and away her best cover in my opinion. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 10:51)

Slipping Away (91,451) by Bobby A from United States If MC could have added an 11th track to Caution, Slipping Away should have been it. SA fits so nicely in between Stay Long Love Me and Portrait. SA sounds so fresh today. Was this song ever on a ABMB European or Australian 12" or just the CD single? I need to hear low notes on vinyl. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 03:42)

Re: BOTH (91,445) (91,450) by Bobby A from United States I have always loved this song. There is a live version on a Through the Rain CD single. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 03:31)

Re: BOTH (91,448) (91,449) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Praise praise praise. I didn't think "the lambs" liked this song because no one talks about its amazing strong presence. I am a massive Charmbraclet [sic] fan, and it's absolutely my favourite off the album. That belt, that's whistle, that sunflower/Dave Navarro video. It's her best cover ever. You're so correct; she never squashes the originals thunder, she Mariah-fies it. You know when she covers a song, it's always done with respect and admiration for the original. My top covers of Mimi in a very particular Order are BOTH; Beautiful Ones, IWTKWLI, AAO (featuring Westlife version; ya know, the one that would've been a stone cold global hit if the label even dared to release that version in the US), Without You, Open Arms, One More Try. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 01:13)

Re: BOTH (91,447) (91,448) by Licia from USA I love BOTH. It's from my favorite album so you know it gets some extra loving from me. Lol I initially wasn't sure whether she could pull it off because the original is just awesome, but she did good. I've always said she picks a lot of great songs to cover and she makes them her own without ruining what was originally created. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 00:07)

Re: BOTH (91,445) (91,447) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "BOTH" so much. It shows that Mariah can sing every genre if she wants to. And the highnote at the end, it's genuis. Her background singers can really shine too on this song. I will never forget the moment when I heard "BOTH" live during the "Charmbracelet tour". Everybody was blown away by MC. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 20:57)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,446) by Bobby A from United States Ok, Bill you called me out on this one. I listened to all of them and I see your point now. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 18:48)

BOTH (91,445) by Jeff from USA I've recently developed a new appreciation for MC's cover of Bringing on the Heartbreak. Not only was it an adventure into rock, but the vocals were pretty amazing. Y'all also know that I adore MC's background vocalists, and I love that they were able to shine. Check out the video. At the end, they look like they're having a great time. I'm going to be jamming to this for a few days. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 18:40)

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,434) (91,444) by T from USA I just don't think fans will be happy if she doesn't push herself the way they are used to seeing her do. She's in a different category for some reason. Just releasing music like Smoky Robinson does won't please her fans. Actually the industry as a whole still compares her to her peak times as well as still putting her in the same standards as the much generation of pop stars. So that's why I think one more full blown era with all stops is all she should do. After that test on the legacy, tour the vast catalogue. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 17:51)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,437) (91,443) by B from USA No. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 17:41)
