Mariah, Mariah (Say Somethin' So So Def Remix) (90,354) by Lafa from Sweden I am not after something here, a "mention" or whatever. But I was featured in Say Somethin' So So Def Remix over the web without knowing about it which is funny so I see it as a "hello" from Mariah. Mariah doesn't feature anyone in her songs actually. This was spiritual reasons behind. So people here have probably heard my singing recording to Mariah. It would be fun if Mariah herself heard it, since this is full voice singing so I don't have to be ashamed. (Friday 19 July 2019; 12:18)

Re: 4th of July revisit (90,352) (90,353) by Bill from the UK Haha. Yeh Butterfly is always happily in the middle of my ranking too, but the lyrics really lift it up. The Roof is also one of the best things she ever did. That and Breakdown are really the backbone of the album. My only annoyance is the mumbling and whispered approach to most verses.

4th of July revisit (90,352) by Licia from USA Not sure if I ever posted about revisiting this song. It's kind of awesome. The vocals just fit so nicely and the lyrics are great. I'm glad she kept it simple with the vocals because the song didn't need Holleriah. The Butterfly album is slowly creeping up on my list. I think it was like number 5 or 6 of albums I love by her. I know some of you are going to pass out from reading this. How dare I put the world's bestest album ever so low on the list. Fight me. Lol. (Friday 19 July 2019; 01:24)

Article: Mariah Carey "Daydream" gets first vinyl release (90,351) by Bill from the UK It was actually originally released on vinyl in 1995 across Europe, albeit in very limited quantity. But alas, great to see it being given some love and special treatment. (Thursday 18 July 2019; 18:52)

Re: Mariah Report (90,348) (90,350) by Commodore from USA They announced in May they were taking the summer off this year. They will be back in September. (Thursday 18 July 2019; 15:16)

Re: Mariah Report (90,348) (90,349) by Edward from USA Record of the Year is related to but is conceptually different from Song of the Year or Album of the Year: 1. Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a particular recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs. 2. Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song. "Song" in this context means the song as composed, not its recording. 3. Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. In this context, "album" means a recorded collection of songs (a multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not the individual songs or their compositions. (Thursday 18 July 2019; 14:00)

Mariah Report (90,348) by Ronnie from California Anyone know what happened to the Mariah Report podcast? I always understood that Album of the Year was a category for solely albums while Record of the Year was for albums and songs. But I might be wrong. (Thursday 18 July 2019; 03:59)

Re: Caution at The Grammy's (90,345) (90,347) by enwar00 from usa Do it anyway. (Thursday 18 July 2019; 03:58)

Re: Caution at The Grammy's (90,345) (90,346) by Victoria from USA Record of the Year is one song. It's not a whole album. (Wednesday 17 July 2019; 23:35)

Caution at The Grammy's (90,345) by Andrew from London UK Mariah will not be nominated for Album of the Year at The Grammys. If she is I will send you all a picture of my willy. And it's so little I would never want you to see it. It is about as little as the hope that Mariah has of being nominated for that award. Anyway, did anyone ever learn the difference between Record of the Year and Album of the Year? It makes about as much sense as having Movie of the Year and Motion Picture of the Year. (Wednesday 17 July 2019; 21:16)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,339) (90,344) by Andrew from London UK That sounds shite. The debut album is shite. It is 80's pap. Shite. (Wednesday 17 July 2019; 21:08)

Re: Norman (90,343) by Nikki from usa I believe they were both done in 2003 or one was in early 2004. In one of them she segues into talking about going on tour. She says he can release what he wants, but thought the situation seemed "girly" like they were in a catfight, and suggested he take up knitting. I believe she was on tour for the second one at that point. One of the interviewers was John Norris. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 22:20)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,340) (90,342) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love Bill's suggestions too. I wonder why her record label can't release something just for the fans. Her early years are more than phenomenal and if I think of all the unreleased songs, demos and interviews I really wish Mariah would give us this "package". It's time. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 21:28)

Re: Grammy Album of the Year (90,336) (90,341) by Shezz from Pk After all the endless Grammy bashing she’s been doing, she’d be lucky to even get an R&B nod I feel. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 17:56)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,339) (90,340) by Shezz from Pk That would be amazing Bill but with all the dissing she does for all the Motolla years and how that would force to face the fact that she’s over 30 years old herself - she might just pass on it. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 17:55)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,338) (90,339) by Bill from the UK Yeh but the Charmbracelet CD sold like, 1 copy so I understand why they axed the DVD. I think a wiser move is doing something for the debut's 30th next year. Here's what I'd release: In a beautifully packaged collector's box or all downloadable/streamable: 1. The album re-mastered CD 2. The album re-mastered vinyl 3. The First Vision DVD - but also include both versions of I Don't Wanna Cry and There's Got to Be a Way 4. All official remixes for Someday and There's Got to Be a Way 5. Tattoo Club and Michael Bolton duet 6. Selection of televised performances from the era 7. (Caps) The Demo Tape (end caps) 8. That cute introduction interview she did when she started out that got released on some promos. The fans would devour it. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 13:08)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,337) (90,338) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think that won't happen. The Charmbracelet tour would have been so great on DVD, it's really a wasted opportunity. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 10:44)

Re: Caution / world tour record (90,333) (90,337) by automatic_prince from Germany Well, don't hold your breath. This is never going to happen. She was going do this for the Rainbow tour and CB tour back in the day. And they never did. And back then this would have still sold a little bit unlike now where only a couple of die hard fans would stream. So let's not get our hopes up too high. We'd only be disappointed. (Tuesday 16 July 2019; 09:08)

Re: Grammy Album of the Year (90,314) (90,336) by Jono from USA With the category now expanded to eight nominees, Mariah definitely has more of a chance but her label and PR will have to really push it in the fall right before the deadline is up. Caution will have come out almost a year ago by that time, so it needs to be fresh in the voter's mind. It's more likely she'd be nominated in the R&B category. (Monday 15 July 2019; 18:27)

Forbes (90,335) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Please understand that there are a lot of politics that goes into the Forbes list. Mariah not being included does not bother me because I know that she is living nice and comfortable and a list is not needed to validate that. (Monday 15 July 2019; 17:31)

Re: Mariah's networth (90,331) (90,334) by Ronnie from California I want to know more about Mariah's net worth drop too. I was theorizing that there was an error in the either the 300 or 500 estimate. I was also considering that one of her major investments collapsed. Your songwriting theory is also interesting since now, more than ever, she is pushing for recognition as a songwriter. I got chills after her Elvis Duran interview for Caution promo. At the end, Santa gives Mariah a toilet brush and a "for sale" sign for when she "sells her apartment". That urked me, God forbid Tommy has anything to do with this. (Monday 15 July 2019; 11:18)

Caution / world tour record (90,333) by AnKo from Germany Maybe she is going to release a live album of the Caution world tour with some remixes. If she added a DVD to this I would not hesitate for a minute to buy this double disc package. Plus, the memoirs are also in the pipeline. (Monday 15 July 2019; 09:22)

Re: Scott (90,327) (90,332) by Bill from the UK I think it was after 2001 as he was quite heavily involved in the Charmbracelet record. In his book, he said it was just before Emancipation (the chapter was titled "Don't Forget About Us", indicating the song was about them). He also claims that he was the one to sever ties, which is why she wrote that song ("just let it die, with no goodbye"). But who knows. The memoirs will explain everything I'm sure lol. (Monday 15 July 2019; 06:37)

Mariah's networth (90,331) by Nikki from usa I have no idea. I'm not sure how to even calculate that. Celebrity Networth had her at 520 million since 2014 and then last year they changed it to 300 million without rhyme or reason. Many inquiries were made, but no responses. A lot of lambs wanted to know why. Everyone else has since updated to match that 300 million stat. Whenever MC is brought up she's only credited as a "singer". If that's all they're basing it off of it's going to be way off. Songwriters and producers can make money off album sales and even more off singles, especially in the 90's. Mariah was doing both producing songs and albums on top of songwriting. She got recognition in 2001 for the 28 million payoff. Not many noticed she was paid 20 million to create Glitter which still sold 3 million copies. That's a 50 million payday right there. I don't think any estimation of her fortune will be very accurate. Also, nobody knows what her catalog is worth. (Monday 15 July 2019; 06:00)

Re: Xavier (90,326) (90,330) by Norman from USA Nikki, do you know what year those MTV interviews were when she gave him the green light? I'm guessing during the CB era, but I don't really know. I'd like to watch them if they're online somewhere. (Monday 15 July 2019; 02:51)
