If you are lucky as I am (91,202) by Gilles from Malta Hello everyone. If you own a Sony headset and a Tidal account you have now access to 360 degrees audio. It is just wowwwww. Please webmaster leave my wow this way because it is so so wow. Mariah is the queen of audio layers and this audio system just make her justice. It is like you have 8 speakers in front of you and at your back a kind of super surround. The experience is out of this world. You realize a big work in the studio to get those results. Sometimes it is like she breaths close to you (the end of One More Try for example), it is bluffing. Anyway if you are a lucky one as I am please share your experience. I've noticed that the albums in master quality offer a better experience than the high fidelity. Enjoy it . It is pure happyness. (Wednesday 30 October 2019; 12:21)

Caution vinyl (91,199) by Bobby A from United States I found the Caution vinyl that was released in December at Barnes and Nobles on birthday last Friday. I was really reading the lyrics on the album jacket and found the editor incorrectly lists the wrong songwriters for Stay Long Love You and Giving Me Life. Has anybody else noticed that? Oh, well beautiful think album jacket with some really cool pretty inserts and MC photos. The sound on this vinyl is unbelievable crystal clear. Now, I just need Me I Am Mariah on vinyl.

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,146) (91,198) by Nikki from usa It's not likely she'd perform there. She was the headliner for 5 years running. She actually began that performance acapella and it was awesome. Her inner ear monitors cut out in the middle of the performance, so she tried to sing "under" the music while she was deaf. She did it successfully enough because there were only 2 notes that sounded off during the one minute they cut out before coming back on again. It was hailed as a great performance by headlines the following day and no one in the audience was any the wiser. It wasn't until that afternoon where a one minute isolated vocal leaked of the four minute song. No other part of the song was leaked, only the part where she was singing while deaf. She got a lot of flack for it. Rockefeller asked her to come back the following year, but she declined. They said she was "holding a grudge". Mariah had her own special on the Hallmark channel that year and kicked it off with God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman a capella. It spurred her on to do her own shows at Beacon Theatre and turn Christmas into a tour. She has a lot of shows already lined up. She's always busy for December. She doesn't need Rockefeller, she'd be better off doing a Christmas Carpool Karaoke. (Monday 28 October 2019; 23:54)

Re: Christmas tour (91,170) (91,196) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I'm going to the Atlantic City show as well. Wow - first person here who knows of and has been to my home country I think. (Monday 28 October 2019; 20:54)

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,192) (91,195) by Bill from the UK Thank you. I do find some people on here take things a little too seriously. In other news, can you believe we're days away from St John the Divine? I think I might pass out. Because I'm never satisfied, here's my dream for Merry Christmas - 30th Anniversary Pearl Edition: Disc 1: Re-mastered album *however* we are now extending out all the tracks with the new vocals that have surfaced from the stems. Full versions of AIWFCIY, O Holy Night, Christmas BPCH, and that demo of Jesus Born On This Day that surfaced then got removed by Sony (thanks for that lol). Also both versions of God Rest Ye Merry Gents. DVD Blu-Ray: St John the Divine and all the videos. Disc 3: Mariah's original rendition of Where Are You Christmas and, for the hell of it, MCIIY, for completeness, with Star and Lil Snowman, even though they are dreadful lol. Disc 4: JTTW and AIWFCIY remixes. Disc 5: Track by track commentary from MC about why she chose each song and the stories behind them. (Monday 28 October 2019; 17:27)

Don't joke too much now though, you might end up posting with the freaks, but if you promise to bring a not so over-sized pink shirt, you can always post with us.

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,191) (91,192) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I love your posts. You've got great humour and your favourites from Mariah are like mine. You never said a bad word. Personally I appriciate almost everyone on this board. Ecxept one or two who seems a bit strange. Lol. People without humour are always stressfull. Your list was funny and not mean because you clearly love MC. I had to laugh although I love Mariah. (Monday 28 October 2019; 15:04)

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,189) (91,191) by Bill from the UK Wait a minute, am I one of the three? If so, yikes. And if so, can I be Karen please? Lol. I've said plenty of positive things about Mariah, and I've never ganged up on anyone here. I do however call our delusional fans, as that's not healthy. (Monday 28 October 2019; 12:32)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,182) (91,190) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Great analogy. Erotica was considered Madonna's "love letter to the gays" at the time and is one of the first albums to bravely address the AIDS epidemic and homosexuality, both of which were taboo topics at the time that pretty much everyone shied away from. One difference between the Erotica + Sex and the Glitter soundtrack + movie eras was the intent behind it. Mariah did it to launch her movie career and broaden her musical horizons, while Madonna did it in hopes of desensitizing the public when it comes to discussions relating to sex, especially female sexual expression. Another key difference is that Glitter bombed by every standard imaginable largely due to the fact that the movie sucked and because of the 9/11 incident; while Erotica + Sex were still very successful and only bombed compared to Madonna's previous successes, it's just that the public were already tired of her penchant for controversy at the time, thinking she had gone too far. Which makes me appreciate Bedtime Stories more because it was the first time since Madonna's debut where she didn't rely on deliberate button-pushing for promotion. The focus was on the music. Even the promotional strategies were clever. She promoted Secret via a snippet online (which was revolutionary in 1994), and used the tagline, "Madonna wants to tuck you in bed with her new album", tuck with a "T", which is obviously a naughty wink to her oversexualised Erotica image.

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,178) (91,189) by 123 from USA Eddie I just call em as I see em. You three like to gang up on the zealot posters here because you find them easy targets but people can say some scathing things about Mariah or make racial "jokes" and no one bats an eye because they are fans of the vitrol comments because they get a lot of likes. I hit dog will holler. (Monday 28 October 2019; 04:43)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,185) (91,188) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The Babyface + Madonna combo is still probably one of the most random collaborations in pop music. Babyface did so well in the production, especially how he layered Madonna's vocals to make it sound more full and plush. That instrumental is still everything, though. The pentatonic notes in the intro is so distinct that the song is instantly recognizable within the first 2 seconds of hearing it. If there was one Madonna song that I wish were Mariah's, it's Take A Bow. So lush, cinematic, elegant and even expensive. (Monday 28 October 2019; 04:17)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,179) (91,185) by Licia from USA I found the demo for Take a Bow on YouTube. It still sounds nice, but the Babyface touches really helped to boost the final product of the song alot. (Sunday 27 October 2019; 15:18)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,182) (91,184) by Edward from USA That's a good analogy. (Sunday 27 October 2019; 14:17)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,181) (91,183) by Edward from USA Of course not, it was a mistake. (Sunday 27 October 2019; 14:12)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,179) (91,182) by Norman from USA Very true about BS and the current state of music. The thing I find interesting is how much Erotica was overlooked as an album because of her whole Erotica book. The album itself is one of my favorite Madge albums. It's akin to what happened to Mariah, the Glitter movie, and the Glitter soundtrack. (Sunday 27 October 2019; 09:34)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,173) (91,181) by Steven Berning from USA You don't really think it's "Take a Vow?" Right? (Sunday 27 October 2019; 03:59)

Re: Mariah's IG (91,078) (91,180) by Matini from United States I hope not because M has been following me since 2014 and she knows me when she sees me. (Saturday 26 October 2019; 23:28)

Re: 90s R&B and 1994 albums (91,173) (91,179) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Madge gets a lot of hate for being a button-pusher who has minimal talent, but truth be told, the woman is still the wisest, boldest, most instinctive woman in music. She wasn't popular because of shock value. She was popular especially among women and the LGBT community because she embodied what they secretly wanted to be, especially in such a restrictive and repressive society at the time. It's almost like they lived vicariously through her. Bedtime Stories was the first album where she hired the hottest, most in-demand producers. I am still pleasantly surprised she pulled it off, both the change in sound and the album's success in general, especially coming off of Erotica which almost ended her career. BS redeemed her to the public, saving her career and was the first step to making her likable again. It's a masterclass in crisis management. The album is also a prime example that an artist can dabble in current sounds and work with the producers of the moment without sounding like they were "selling out". It's her last album that had her sense of humor, as well as the last time she ever effectively pulled off the sex symbol image. Plus all the videos in that era were just art.

Re: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting (91,176) (91,178) by Edward from USA I apologize because it seems to be my post got under some guys' panties here, it wasn't my intention. A mean comment about supposedly mean people, hypocritical effing much. (Saturday 26 October 2019; 21:37)
