| I'm very much into her club remixes lately, as well as the urban remixes. |

"Boy (I Need You) (Remix)" (100,552)
by Billy from Greece
(Wednesday 22 June 2022; 16:49) | | |
| I know "Boy" is probably one of the least favorite songs on Mariah's catalog. I never had an issue with it, especially within the context of "Charmbracelet", but the official remix (found on the single) is actually way hotter. No re-sung vocals, but the beat and slight restructuring of the song take it a step further. I highly recommend it. |

| I love this list. "Make You Happy" is a top favourite of mine and I would so love to hear Mariah do "Lillie's Blues (Turn You Loose)". |

| Great post, Nikki. I agree in all respects. The same could be said about Diana Ross, at least post-Motown (just like for Mariah post-Sony). These ladies just didn't want to play ball. |

Re: How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,437) (99,448)
by Billy from Greece
(Sunday 16 January 2022; 21:58) | | |
| I totally agree. It's sad that thirty years into her career the available greatest hits set focuses only on her first decade. I would love an elaborate retrospective but we ain't getting that. We got The Rarities though, which I absolutely loved, so that's something. |

| It's only a snippet (albeit sweet) from the Rainbow tour but still it sounds so good hearing Mariah on my favorite Lauryn Hill track. |

| This is rare and a true gem, with undubbed snippets of her performances that night, which were all gorgeous. I can't believe it's been twenty years since the Glitter era. |

Love your list enwar, although I would add Rainbow there as well. And yes, she was such a stunner during #1's. That super short scene of her in a blue dress walking on the street in the beginning of Sweetheart is so elusive and captivating.  |

Re: Taped performances during quarantine (97,351) (97,360)
by Billy from Greece
(Saturday 13 February 2021; 12:00) | | |
| I've noticed it too. The thing is, her acapellas during 2020, or whenever you hear her voice stripped, do not have that quality and it sounds just beautiful. I guess it's a choice in how the whole performance is ultimately mixed, maybe to fit whatever "radio-friendly" standards are out there now, I don't know. In other words, it does not sound to me like it's another phase in her vocal evolution, but who knows. I just adore the essence of her voice and whenever you get to hear it at its most natural it's still captivating. By the way, the new arrangement of "We Belong Together" is just perfection, truly wonderful. |
