Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,164) (90,194) by B from USA We Belong Together. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 17:56)

Re: I am free (90,191) (90,193) by B from USA I would love for Mariah to discuss how emotions affect the voice. The emotional toll the end of her relationship with Tommy and their subsequent divorce took on her voice is obvious. Her voice began declining (or became unpredictable and unreliable) when her marriage began imploding. I'd also like to know why she decided to marry Nick after only knowing him for a few weeks. It still seems so out of character. Was it during a manic episode? (Thursday 4 July 2019; 17:50)

Re: I am free (90,191) (90,192) by Bill from the UK I want to know about the pre-fame days. The demos, the background singing, the wood shop with Ben, Warner's wanting to sign her, school, growing up etc. I also want her to come clean about her discovery. I don't really buy the Cinderella yarn that was spin when she was launched (all too perfect), but I do believe the rumour she was discovered years earlier as a 14/15 year old and was set up with songwriters and groomed for live performing etc. pending her "coming of age". I also want to know about unreleased songs and why she never put them on albums, as well as her voice and its decline over the years (or, is it more or less as it's always been but she's gradually toned down the engineering over the years).

I am free (90,191) by Norman from USA Since Mariah is supposedly writing her memoirs, what are a couple of things you wish she'd be the most honest and transparent about? For me, the obvious one would be the unvarnished truth about her voice. I think it would it would be something unexpected and real from her, and it would probably serve her well with the general public's view of her. Plus, it would be catchartic. Is there anything else you guys wish she'd open up about? I know there's very little chance she'll be completely honest about her voice. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 11:54)

Re: Higher Love (90,187) (90,190) by Tevin from USA Thanks for sharing your opinion. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 05:41)

Re: Higher Love (90,184) (90,189) by Myles from CT, USA Hearing those peak Whitney vocals brought me back to my childhood. Magical. Nostalgic. Nothing will ever beat the music of 1993-1994. A moment. Needless to say I love the song and as a huge fan of Whitney I am surprised I never heard this before. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 04:29)

Re: Higher Love (90,184) (90,188) by Licia from USA I'm not a fan of this remix. I like the version she originally recorded. I really wanted to like it though. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 01:32)

Re: Higher Love (90,184) (90,187) by enwar00 from usa It really didn't grab me. And I love Kygo. Who knows, maybe with repeated listens. (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 23:51)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,179) (90,186) by Leonard from Indonesia "Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies." (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 22:28)

Close My Eyes (90,185) by Andrew from London UK Please somebody do post the chorus and the verses again as I am certain everyone here needs reminding for the umpteenth time. (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 19:52)

Higher Love (90,184) by Tevin from USA Has anyone heard Kygos remake of Whitney Houston "Higher Love". Even though you lose a bit of the soul in the song (since its edm remix) the song sounds so fresh and amazing. Whitney's voice. Boy do I wish her and Mariah could have recorded more than one song together. Anyway have you guys heard the song yet, what are your thoughts? (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 19:09)

Re: Caution (90,155) (90,183) by B from USA I shared the sales update to show that Caution is still selling and hasn't disappeared like MIAM did after just two months. (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 14:43)

Re: Greatest lyric (90,180) (90,182) by B from USA How 'bout you get the [censored] out? How about you get the [censored] out? (How 'bout you) Take your tings [sic] and be on your merry way Just playing So, what do you do When somebody you're so devoted to Suddenly just stops loving you And it seems they haven't got a clue Of the pain that rejection is putting you through Do you cling to your pride And sing "I will survive" Do you lash out and say, how dare you leave this way Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 14:37)

Re: Moments with Mimi web series (90,162) (90,181) by RibbonB from USA I just watched, it was pretty funny. In the steak prank, Mimi reminded me of how Stella used to act though. Lol. (Wednesday 3 July 2019; 03:59)

Greatest lyric (90,180) by Jeff from USA I'm definitely on board with "Close My Eyes", particularly: Funny how one can learn To grow numb to the madness And block it away I left the worst unsaid Let it all dissipate And I try to forget Maybe I grew up a little too soon (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 23:04)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,178) (90,179) by Dennis from Miami, FL As sure as "Migrate should have been a single", Boy shouldn't have been. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 22:52)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,177) (90,178) by Bill from the UK I think like everybody I just wish Languishing was a bit longer. It's almost a crime that it's so short, as Boy goes into it's 17th chorus. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 21:25)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,174) (90,177) by Dennis from Miami, FL I always get goosebumps when I hear that bridge about recollections. Actually, Languishing is my favourite MC track. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 19:20)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,174) (90,176) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Brad that part from "Languishing" is really great and heartfelt. Love it too. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 19:03)

Re: MC's masters (90,171) (90,175) by B from USA She does. After 25 years the ownership of maters are transferred to the artist/songwriter. I believe Mariah's deals with IDJ and Epic included her receiving ownership of her masters. it would also explain her being able to include the #1's she amassed during her tenure at IDJ on #1 To Infinity. If not she owns the masters of Maraih Carey, Emotions, Music Box, and Merry Christmas and next year she'll receive ownership of the Daydream masters. Here's a link about artist being able to reclaim their rights to their music after 25 years. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 16:25)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,169) (90,174) by Brad from USA Hi all. Hope everyone is well. I would nominate the following excerpt from Languishing as one of her greatest lyrics. Although it's just an interlude, I think it's some of her better work plus I love the layerings and whisperings in the song. Thanks and be well. "Those ancient buried recollections We transform them and select them You have yours, I have mine That's fine" (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 16:16)

A medium / Butterfly (classic bossa nova) (90,173) by Lafa from Sweden A medium pointed out a flaw in Butterfly (Classic Bossa Nova). The chorus (background voices) is actually 11 seconds off-pitch at a place. Woops. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 14:43)

Re: MC's masters (90,171) (90,172) by Licia from USA I believe she did buy her masters. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 13:51)

MC's masters (90,171) by Bobby A from United States With the news this week that Scooter Braun bought Big Machine Records and Taylor Swift's masters, does MC own her masters? Taylor Swift is smoking mad. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 13:16)

Re: Caution (90,160) (90,170) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Bill. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 12:13)
