Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (91,000) (91,002) by TJ from Norway My mum would never win that award, as she can't stand her. I guess my extreme type of fan in the beginning of the 90's made my whole family, and all my friends into goats. I played her music all day long, with the speakers hanging out of the windows so all my neighbor's could enjoy that music. (Monday 7 October 2019; 15:25)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,996) (91,001) by Bill from the UK Hahaha, she didn't mind lol. And by the second day I had written all the words out as she read them out over the phone so we were all good lol. (Monday 7 October 2019; 12:24)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,995) (91,000) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think your mum wins the mother lamb award. That is so sweet. My mom will still buy Mariah stuff for me because she knows I love her but she got really rubbed the wrong way when MC started showing more skin. No way would she read lyrics to me everyday.

Caution and Butterfly albums (90,999) by Bobby A from United States I spent all weekend listening to Caution hoping it receives some Grammy nominations next month. With You and Caution the album deserves recognition because I can really appreciate MC's hard work on this album now. I was disappointed last year that the album was not promoted by Epic as much as it should have been. With You should have been a top ten Hot 100 hit. Overall, Caution is up there with Daydream and Butterfly in my books. By the way, I bought my Butterfly picture disc last weekend at a second hand used book and CD store called 2nd and Charles in an Atlanta suburb called Marietta. There were 3 copies in the bin for $32.95. I was surprised that they had even one. I am going back this week and I am going to ask the manager how did they come to have it. I am pleased with my copy. The sound and clarity is unbelievable. (Monday 7 October 2019; 03:14)

Re: One of Mariah's most revealing interviews ever (90,994) (90,998) by Billy from Greece Yep, this is an interesting interview and representative of the state she was in at that point in life, reflecting, evaluating, adjusting. This made me listen to "Charmbracelet". Such a complex and satisfying piece of work, on the verge of its seventeenth anniversary. (Sunday 6 October 2019; 23:08)

25th Merry Christmas (90,997) by Bobby A from United States Will 25th edition be released in the retail stores? Target would be a great retail partner for the Holiday season. Selling the 7inch vinyl of AIWFCIY would definitely count for the Hot 100. I just feel Sony is going to do something special for the physical retail release. (Sunday 6 October 2019; 20:32)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,995) (90,996) by Edward from USA Did you actually made your mother describe the inlay, read the lyrics and sing them to you? Somebody should've called Mom's Protective Services on your little lamb ass. I'm a little jealous though. (Sunday 6 October 2019; 18:17)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,993) (90,995) by Bill from the UK Bless you, thank you. It is one of my happiest Mariah related memories. Another thing she did that has stayed in my memory is I was staying at my aunt's house with my nan to "cat sit", and I had asked my mum to buy me the debut album on tape as I was building my collection (it was Summer 1994 so I had Music Box, Unplugged, and Emotions on tape). I had those albums with me and was playing them non stop. My mum called to check in on me and said she'd picked the tape up from HMV (big record store chain in the UK), and I made her read out the tracklisting and describe the inlay to me lol. She said things like "the back is gold with black lettering, there is a picture of her holding a microphone in the inside" and then I made her read out the lyrics every day I was there down the phone to me lol. I love her so much. (Sunday 6 October 2019; 16:06)

One of Mariah's most revealing interviews ever (90,994) by Edouard from France I had never seen it. It's from 2002. It requires a little effort to ignore the German translation but it's really worth it. interesting and in depths look at her life. Mariah goes more into details here and she does it with simplicity and authenticity. love it (Sunday 6 October 2019; 06:53)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,980) (90,993) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Bill, I smile every time I read the story of your mum buying Daydream for you and taping it up to the window so that you could see it on your way home. That's a truly special memory. (Sunday 6 October 2019; 03:18)

Re: Daydream (90,984) (90,992) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Every time I popped the cassette in and hit play, it was as if I was transported to a fantasy land, in which Mariah's voice made everything possible." That's exactly how I felt back then. I miss those times too. Because of Daydream I became a fan of the one and only Mariah. Fantasy was playing on the radio almost every hour. I recorded it on tape and I never heard a song like that. The beginning (magical), the happy vibe of the chorus and the powerful voice that makes you dream. OSD was the other "sensation". The video, daily on MTV and radio. It seems every one felt in love with Mariah at that time, worldwide. I'll never forget too. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 22:43)

Miami and Fort Laud (90,991) by Chris from United States So, I'll be moving to either one of those two areas very soon. Just out of curiosity, does anyone else on this board live there? Will I be hearing clubs and such bumping MC? Is this an MC friendly zone? (Saturday 5 October 2019; 20:09)

Re: Celine Dion (90,962) (90,990) by B from USA Mariah is not just a musical genius, she's also a great vocalist. Get it together, Edward. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 19:23)

Re: Daydream (90,984) (90,989) by B from USA When I Saw You is so underrated. I've always loved that song. When my friend's mom was getting married, she was having a hard time picking the song for their first dance, so I suggested When I Saw You, and after listening to it, she turned to me and said that's the song. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 19:14)

Re: Obsessed (90,983) (90,988) by B from USA With You was an Adult Contemporary and Adult R&B hit, but I don't think it'll experience a resurgence like A No No might or the album as a whole. By the way, Caution is still on the R&B Album Sales chart. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 19:07)

Re: Daydream (90,984) (90,987) by Hector from Mexico I rememeber when my mom bought me the Daydream CD in 1995. I loved it instantly but Fantasy, Melt Away and When I Saw You really captivated me. Those 3 songs are in my top ten today. Great album. Great time to be a Mariah fan. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 18:00)

Re: Daydream (90,984) (90,986) by Stacey from USA Daydream. My favorite. I mean, my avatar says it all, lol. Well said, so much so that I can't add another word to your thoughts. I feel the same way about that time during the mid 1990s too. (Saturday 5 October 2019; 05:06)

Re: Obsessed (90,983) (90,985) by enwar00 from usa Lmfao. You are such a B. No pun intended. Listen, With You really is a slow burner. I really hope it gets a Grammy nomination. That'll be hilarious. (Friday 4 October 2019; 22:31)

Daydream (90,984) by Edward from USA Those of us who experience Daydream with everything that was happening in the music scene at that time are lucky. Looking back it was like a magical time, in which music was mother-effing-great. Everybody was killing it, from Mariah to The Cranberries. "Underneath The Stars" was an instant hit with me, but "When I Saw You" and "Melt Away" stole my heart. The whole album was ethereal. Every time I popped the cassette in and hit play, it was as if I was transported to a fantasy land, in which Mariah's voice made everything possible. Oh how I miss those days, and the nuances of the her voice back then. (Friday 4 October 2019; 20:06)

Re: Obsessed (90,981) (90,983) by Edward from USA It's definitely a slow burner like "With You". (Friday 4 October 2019; 19:50)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,980) (90,982) by B from USA Fantasy was the first Mariah song I heard, and I was enraptured. I had my grandmother buy me the cd single. Daydream was the first album that I bought and I still have the cassette. (Friday 4 October 2019; 17:00)

Obsessed (90,981) by B from USA Obsessed debuted at #23 on Billboard’s R&B Streaming Songs chart because of its resurgence in popularity online. Can you say legendary? (Friday 4 October 2019; 16:55)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,972) (90,980) by Bill from the UK I will never forget that period. Fantasy was ruling the airwaves all summer, and I remember waiting so eagerly for the album to release. I came home from school on the day, pretty dejected that I wouldn't get to hear it until the weekend, only to find my lovely mum had gone out and got the CD for me, and taped it to the inside window of the front porch, so I saw it as I walked (and than sprinted lol) up the front path. I played the album all night and recorded it onto a blank tape for my Walkman for my trips to and from school. I remember sitting on the stairs in the hall with my mum and I got to the lyric sheet. All summer I could not decipher what she sang after "feels like I'm dreaming" on the Tom Tom Club sample. Every member of the family heard something different. When I read "feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping" out loud, my family chorused an "ahhhh of course" together. I really hope Mariah does commemorate the anniversary with something special, though it was unfortunate to see her other albums hit the milestone with nothing special. The deluxe should unearth that infamous Underneath the Stars video, shrouded in mystery. I was playing the Daydream singles recently, can anyone help me out. Fantasy was released on two CD singles in the UK. The "blue sleeve" version had the "Bad Boy with ODB" mix that appeared on many compilations later, and the "white sleeve" version had "Puffy's Mix". The only audible difference I can hear is there is no echo on the "jump jump" line in the rap on the second mix. Am I missing anything or was that really the only difference?

Re: Daydream (90,976) (90,979) by TJ from Norway It was released on September 29th in Norway. Remember it well. Next year both "Daydream" and her debut album should be celebrated. To Mariah (if she ever reads these messages ): we need re-releases with some extras. (Friday 4 October 2019; 08:33)

Re: Happy 24th anniversary Daydream (90,972) (90,978) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Two weeks ago, I revived my gold vinyl-press of Daydream from "Vinyl Me Please" and I forgot how flawless this album is. Fantasy is my life anthem (favourite song of alllll time), but my goodness does Long Ago, Underneath the Stars, Melt Away and When I Saw You, blow my mind on Vinyl. I remember this album was the exact moment Mariah transitioned from my mom's favourite artist (in the adult contemporary vain of Celine, Vanessa Williams etc.) to my absolute queen. Every summer we would do a road trip as a family from Guelph, Ontario to the Atlantic Maritimes (Halifax, PEI, Moncton, St. John's etc) and Daydream was one album the family could all get on board with blasting on cassette, in our '93 Mazda MPV (even my Nirvana-fan-bro of a brother was down). I also love after hearing this album in vinyl, I could identify what she did on Daydream was a foreshadowing of what she did on "Caution". Long Ago and Melt Away could fit beautifully on Caution, right after "With You". (Friday 4 October 2019; 03:45)
