Re: Studio session in Barcelona (89,946) (89,952) by Will from Australia Maybe she’s recording AIWFCIY for the 500th time but this time backwards and in spangelish. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 04:21)

Mariah Carey (89,951) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Happy 29th album to the Mariah Carey album. This debut album was definitely one of a kind. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 02:41)

Re: Lead the Way (89,922) (89,950) by Lainsky from Philippines One of the best vocal and ballad, if not the best, of Mariah in her entire catalogue. LTW should have been released instead of Never Too Far back then. Oh well, it's all in the past now. Justice for Glitter has been served. I simply enjoy and play this album more than the TEOM and succeeding albums to be honest. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 02:41)

Re: Lead the Way (89,945) (89,949) by Special K from USA Girl I saw Mariah perform in Concord, Ca during the Charmbracelet tour. I almost passed out when she sang Bringing On The Heartbreak. Epic. Her voice sounded better during the CB tour than the Rainbow tour. TAOM tour Mariah lipped often and had a back track playing but she was so fun and engaging. You know what the more I type the more I get pissed off because the Caution tour didn't come to Cali. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 02:22)

Re: Studio session in Barcelona 89,946) (89,948) by Bobby A from United States Why? B, she is the queen of Christmas. I hope it is a Christmas album. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 02:07)

Re: Studio session in Barcelona (89,946) (89,947) by Licia from USA It better not be another Christmas album. There's no need for it. If they record one or two new songs and release those just for the mess of it I'd buy, but I won't purchase a full Christmas album. We don't need another AIWFCIY extra festive hip hop jazz en Espanol emd pop sugary sweet remix either. Lol. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 02:07)

Re: Studio session in Barcelona (89,919) (89,946) by B from USA I hope and pray that she isn't recording another Christmas album. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 00:45)

Re: Lead the Way (89,936) (89,945) by Licia from USA Special K you are the first fan I've ever seen admit that on the CB tour she was still in great vocal shape. Although I love CB, I agree the album definitely didn't showcase the great vocals she was still able to give. I also agree about Glitter. A vocal masterpiece and I refuse to believe there was any copy and pasting done on LTW. Today is my day to be in denial. Lol. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 00:33)

With You (89,944) by Andrew from London UK I think in years hence, I shall come to view With You in that same category of uniqueness as Lead The Way - if I do not already. I hated it at first. But it is effing brilliant. Why did I hate it so? "And we all make mistakes sometimes but we muddle through." (Thursday 13 June 2019; 00:25)

Re: Lead the Way (89,936) (89,943) by B from USA Agreed. Her voice was in fine form during the recording of Glitter. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 00:24)

Re: Lead the Way (89,937) (89,942) by Andrew from London UK I agree with you buddy. The Rainbow Tour was a mess vocally and production wise. My first time seeing Mariah was not all I had imagined it to be. But I did spend most of it beaming and the entirety of Hero crying. A dream come true to be in the same room as that woman. So I believed Lead The Way was written for Butterfly, recorded for Rainbow and used on Glitter. N'est-ce pas? In any event, what is the consensus? Is there a cut and paste job on the last note? There is one point at which I can hear the possibility. William, your opinion would be welcomed. It really does matter to me. I think the song is somewhat supreme amongst Mariah Carey songs.

Re: Mariah Carey (89,935) (89,941) by TJ from Norway Or 29 years? (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 23:03)

Re: Lead the Way (89,930) (89,940) by TJ from Norway Funny that you would link that video Edward. I was in the audience that night and some parts was dubbed on the TV version. Other parts was just playback or what you call it. Her voice was in so bad condition because of a cold or something. She could hardly speak. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 23:00)

Re: Mariah Carey (89,935) (89,939) by Jamie from UK You mean 29th. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 22:07)

Re: Lead the way (89,933) (89,938) by Bill from the UK Yeah I was going to chime in and say I thought LTW was a leftover from Butterfly, so was recorded in that period. The publishing stamp says 1997. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 19:46)

Re: Lead the Way (89,932) (89,937) by Tijl from Belgium I have seen the Rainbow tour in Antwerp. The very first time I saw MC live in concert. She did sound good but not great. At the Christmas show in Brussels last December she was on fire. She has gained a lot of confidence when it comes to her stage presence over the last years. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 19:31)

Re: Lead the Way (89,922) (89,936) by Special K from USA Naw, there is no copy and paste in Lead The Way. I have said it before and I will say it again, Glitter is Mariah's last powerhouse vocal album period. I do agree LTW should have been single but they went with Never Too Far Away which is another superior powerhouse vocal track. During the Rainbow tour Mariah's voice was in great shape. During the Charmbracelet tour her voice was in epic shape even though the album vocals do not reflect that. Imagine if she sang LTW during the Charbracelet tour. I can't even deal.

Mariah Carey (89,935) by B from USA It's a special occasion, a cause for celebration. Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Mariah's self-titled debut album. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 16:59)

Re: Lead the way (89,933) (89,934) by B from USA It was written during the Butterfly sessions but wasn't recorded until 2000/2001. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 16:56)

Lead the way (89,933) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Was recorded in the last part of the 90's, it is the last time she worked with Walter A. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 15:38)

Re: Lead the Way (89,928) (89,932) by Dennis from The Netherlands I went to the Rainbow tour and she sounded great. Did you go too? (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 14:52)

Re: Lead the Way (89,929) (89,931) by Tijl from Belgium Oh Andrew. It is a snippet. Of course it wasn't recorded in one take. Lighten up. Must everything on here receive the cynical approach? (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 14:26)

Re: Lead the Way (89,922) (89,930) by Edward from USA I've always known the long note in "Butterfly" was cut and paste to prolong the note. If you listen closely, you can hear it, it was obviously impossible to replicate that life or pretend she was even trying it in front of an audience. At Diana's Tribute she lipped the note as it was sung in the studio before they cut and pasted. It was easier doing that with Butterfly because there was a lot going on in the background in that song, but with "Lead The Way" the situation is different. With no distractions in the background, you can clearly hear Mariah's voice flowing along without any weird change in key or studio tweaking. You have to remember "Glitter" was supposed to be to Mariah what "The Bodyguard" was to Whitney, so Mariah went all out vocally in that album, especially in "Lead The Way". I do agree with you, the whistle note is perfectly placed, and the last note is out of this world. "Lead The Way" is simply epic. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 14:05)

Re: Lead the Way (89,926) (89,929) by Andrew from London UK If you think that is actually Mariah recording the vocals to LTW you probably think this is genuine, too. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 13:57)

Re: Lead the Way (89,922) (89,928) by Randy from USA I think it's a cut and paste job. Only because she was in such a bad voice during and after Rainbow. However I will day [sic] after the Glitter breakdown that voice came back full force and she totally could've done it. But then again the note isn't that high; it's just long and height in her full voice is what she lacked in 00 when the album was recorded. Hmmmm I don't know now lol. I could see Lead The Way coming between Heartbreaker and Bliss so I think your substitution is valid. Oh and btw I love Can't Take That Away. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 13:48)
