About MusicfanJ from Germany: I'm a fan of Mariah since Daydream came out.

Choosin' Texas No.1 for 21 weeks (114,544) by MusicfanJ from Germany I didn't know the song. I went to YouTube and listened to it. I like it. A relaxed song with no cheap lyrics. I even enjoyed the video. Is is a wow song? No. But compared to all the latest garbage on the charts it's a wonderful, nice song that gives you a good mood while listening. This woman and Olivia Dean makes me hopeful that the time of only vulgar music and videos in the charts are over or at least are not the only way to get a hit nowadays.

Choosin' Texas No.1 for 21 weeks (114,543) by Zachariah from Croatia I can't say I'm terribly surprised that Choosin' Texas is sitting at number one in week 21. The U.S. isn't exactly famous for subtlety or sophisticated storytelling. Throw in a cowboy, a pickup truck, a country song, a doomed-but-passionate love story, a few rednecks and enough "y'all" to go around, and you've pretty much got the winning formula. This is basically a prequel of country We Belong Together, or in country vocabulary, it's like that y'all. Just imagine Mariah and Eric Roberts getting married in a barn and a pick-up truck pulls outside and you can see Mariah pulling her wedding dress and running in her country high heel boots with yee-haw whistle note.

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,537) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great post. I enjoyed it a lot. Your thoughts are one point and very interesting. I also prefer "Clown". It's way more intelligent and playful. "Clown" is a favourite from Charmi. (Tuesday 8 September 2026; 14:33) this is a reply to message 114,532

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,532) by karel from belgie Clown and Obsessed may both deal with a man whom Mariah believes has an inflated sense of himself and uses her name for attention, but the way she approaches that subject in each song is completely different. In Clown, she takes a more psychological approach. Rather than launching a direct attack, she tries to understand why this person behaves the way he does, suggesting that his arrogance is really a cover for insecurity. The title itself is telling. She doesn't portray him as an enemy, but as a clown, someone who ultimately makes a fool of himself. One of the things I love about the song is how she exposes him without ever sounding bitter or vindictive. She paints a picture of someone trying hard to appear important and intimidating, while making it clear that she sees right through the act. As a result, the song feels mature, intelligent, and quietly devastating. She doesn't sound angry. She sounds disappointed and mildly amused, which makes the criticism hit even harder. Obsessed, on the other hand, takes the exact opposite approach. The entire song revolves around the idea that this person is supposedly obsessed with her. The hook repeats that message over and over, and the mockery is much more obvious. Where Clown allows the listener to draw their own conclusions, Obsessed practically spells everything out for them. Musically, the contrast is just as striking. Clown is built around a smooth, understated R&B production that leaves plenty of room for the lyrics and the vocals. The focus is on what she's saying. Obsessed shifts the attention toward the beat, the catchy chorus, and the playful attitude. It's constructed as a major pop single, whereas Clown feels more like a personal statement. What I find particularly interesting is how much Clown relies on irony. Mariah never has to outright tell the listener that this man is pathetic. You figure that out on your own through the way she describes him. In Obsessed, the judgment is much more direct and explicit. Because of that, the songwriting feels less sophisticated and more like a reaction in the heat of the moment. Even vocally, the difference is significant. On Clown, Mariah uses a warm, controlled, and mature vocal performance. She sounds confident because she has nothing to prove. On Obsessed, the vocals become part of the attitude and humor of the track. The production effects and heavily processed sound fit the song's playful tone, but they also distract from what was once her greatest strength: her ability to carry a song through pure vocal expression. "Clown" is Mariah dissecting her opponent with subtlety, observation, and intelligence. "Obsessed" is Mariah publicly mocking that same opponent through a catchy pop hit. Or, to put it even more bluntly: "Clown" lets the listener discover why the man is a clown. "Obsessed" simply shouts it from the rooftops. And that's why I believe Clown is the stronger and more timeless song. (Monday 7 September 2026; 23:14)

New music (114,536) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. Plus she was always a pop genius. I wonder how long it will take with the release of "SUD". So many people would be surprised in a positive way. And the fans would love it for sure. Daydream Mariah with grunge, you must love it. (Tuesday 8 September 2026; 14:26) this is a reply to message 114,530

New music (114,530) by karel from belgie I think Mariah needs to move away from the predictable, slow R&B sound. Some of her best tracks have always been the house and techno remixes, so why keep those styles limited to remixes? Why not make them the main versions of the songs? I'm currently listening to We Found Love by Rihanna and Calvin Harris, and honestly, I think Mariah could still pull off that kind of uplifting dance music. Her voice would work beautifully with that style. It also reminds me of Now That I Know from Music Box. That song was such a breath of fresh air and showed a different, more playful side of her artistry. And yes, I'm absolutely in favor of her finally releasing Someone's Ugly Daughter. That's the Mariah I miss: creative, adventurous, and willing to take risks. It's a shame she didn't release it alongside the Daydream anniversary celebrations. Imagine getting it as part of a Daydream 31 edition. Now that would have been something special. (Monday 7 September 2026; 22:49)

Here For It All one year later (114,515) by MusicfanJ from Germany Please no for the AI thing. I will always support Mariah but I won't buy AI music. I also don't think Mariah wants to create complete robot music. It's the opposite from soul. I take any genre. Pop, soul, gospel, jazz, country, even grunge lol but it has to be real music. HFIA has some cool retro soul vibes, pop, rnb, hip-hop and gospel. The mix was good. (Wednesday 2 September 2026; 12:01) this is a reply to message 114,513

Here For It All one year later (114,513) by BFF from US I mean... considering Sony just sued Anthropic for "illegally training" Claude, you might be able to get a new Mariah album with her early 90s voice. Who knows. Mariah's voice might deteriorate to the point where she cannot do anything with it, and she might start using AI to record new music. I'd honestly be suspicious of almost anything released by any artist in the 2020s because of how ubiquitous generative AI has become. (Tuesday 1 September 2026; 23:04)

Glitter anniversary - disc 2 predictions (114,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany I loved "Everytime" the snippet or demo. The rumour said that the singer wasn't MC. But I loved it soo much. The list sounds good and promising. I hope it's true to get some rare songs from the glitter era. (Tuesday 25 August 2026; 18:02) this is a reply to message 114,475

Glitter anniversary - disc 2 predictions (114,475) by BFF from US 1. Loverboy (Firecracker original version) 2. Never Too Far/Hero Medley 3. Out Here On My Own 4. Didn't Mean to Turn You On (with Rochelle Jordan) 5. Lillie's Blues (studio version) 6. Glitter - unreleased song written with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (registered with ASCAP) 7. Royal Tones - unreleased track from sessions with Stevie J. (registered with ASCAP) 8. Demo version of "Nasty Girl"- sampling track 9. Everytime - rumored song title, see links below 10. Anything Can Happen - rumored song title, see links below 11. Reflections (live from Home for the Holidays 2001) 12. Never Too Far/Hero Medley (live from 2001 Radio Music Awards or another event) 13. Additional song from early sessions with Stevie J. 14. Loverboy (Club of Love Mix or MJ Cole Remix) 15. Never Too Far/Hero Medley (Mike Rizzo Club Mix or Al B. Rich Inspiration Mix) In her memoir, Mariah wrote that she and Prince never recorded the planned duet but that she had started working on a song that sampled "Nasty Girl". "The Flow" is a confirmed song title, but I think it's an instrumental track used in one of the scenes in the movie. It is listed on IMDB, so it appeared in the movie in some form. Mariah is not credited as a writer. There's a song called "I Know" listed on IMDB that was written by Damizza and Randy Jackson and listed as "Performed by Padma Lakshmi, Maria Montreano, and Trey Lorenz". I think this might be the song we [hear] in that scene when Dice meets with Timothy and Timothy is showing him "what all his money is buying him". "Love Will Never End" is mentioned in one of the links below, but no details provided so that sounds like a stretch to me. Links to support song titles listed above for the songs listed above. IMDB listing for the movie Mariah Carey Wiki Old forum post from 2017. A number of songs listed here appeared on "The Rarities", so it seems pretty reliable. (Monday 24 August 2026; 22:15)

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,482) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's fine. I love "both" Mariahs but the 90ies albums from her touches my heart and soul the most. She just shines in every genre. But maybe you will explore and enjoy some older songs too. Most of them are timeless. I love her early work. (Tuesday 25 August 2026; 17:53) this is a reply to message 114,473

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,473) by Zachariah from Croatia I've kind of burnt myself out on Mariah's first four albums. Didn't touch them in years. Everything from Butterfly onward, including Butterfly, is still in regular rotation for me. I'm more of an R&B/hip-hop kind of guy, so I tend to gravitate more toward that side of Mariah rather than the big belting-ballad Mariah. (Monday 24 August 2026; 18:47)

Glitter (114,416) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes. The "dah dah dah dahs” are so typical Mariah. That's why I love it too. Glitter is a fantastic album. The time [was] just wrong for it. I loved Glitter back then and I still do. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 15:30) this is a reply to message 114,415

Glitter (114,415) by Bill from the UK I love the “dah dah dah dahs” that bookend the Firecracker version. Sheer brilliance. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 10:36)

Caution reflections (114,376) by MusicfanJ from Germany GTFO is the worst first single ever from a Mariah album for my opinion. "Caution" the song would have been much better. "With you" was indeed also not a good choice. With the third single the people almost had already forgotten the new album. I also like the album cover. The album had a fresh, modern vibe (it still has) and was way better than MIAMTEC which had good songs but felt so "unnatural" at some parts. Mariah's team is not so clever anymore with the instinct for possibly radio hits or good single choices. (Sunday 9 August 2026; 12:23) this is a reply to message 114,373

Caution reflections (114,373) by Lainsky from Philippines Aside from wrong choices of commercially released singles, making GTFO an introduction to a cohesively and nicely crafted album is a wrong move. It should've remained as filler. "Giving Me Life" sounds different. I agree that it is innovative, which could have been a wonderful carrier single. It will make non-fans curious. A second single could have been "A No No", followed by the remix and the familiar yet still impactful song "Caution". "Stay Long Love You" will remind the listeners of "A No No" for a third release, or another schmaltzy song, or "Runway". But then again, her age and marketing are big factors, which makes the industry unfairly sucks. (Sunday 9 August 2026; 05:10)

Mariah at Rotterdam (ABMB) (114,360) by MusicfanJ from Germany When I watch the video, I just feel good. Seeing Mariah in that high video quality. She was so sweet, singing with the teddy bear and walking on stage with the energy and charisma. I prefer this over every show with dancers, effects or whatever other big entertainers often have. Pure Mariah was enough for me. I also enjoy watching the audience without handies and smartphones. Good old days. Of course not everything was better but the vibe from the people was so real, just living the moment. I hope to see the whole concert one day. I can say the lines along with the Tokyo concert. (Wednesday 5 August 2026; 19:53)

Dreamlover vs Fantasy (114,348) by MusicfanJ from Germany She had a genius pop ear, so true. "Dreamlover" was the first time I saw Mariah on TV. I loved it right away. But I was too little. Then I remember "Without you" and I thought is there a princess singing. Even as a kid I loved this ballad. Then the years went by and Daydream came out. The album finally made me a fan/lamb for life. Dreamlover and Fantasy are perfect pop songs, it really doesn't get any better. (Saturday 1 August 2026; 14:44) this is a reply to message 114,347

Dreamlover vs Fantasy (114,347) by jaker20 from US I feel like Fantasy had a big comeback after that Freeguy movie which gave Fantasy that a cool sounding ballad twist and then the Latto sample, together in short span, it reintroduced Fantasy to a wider audience. Dreamlover deserves a similar comeback, because honestly it is the better pop song. Such a perfect 4 minutes of pop perfection. That intro is so cute, as much an earworm as the instrumental intro of Blind Alley loop but better. Which by the way was Mariah's idea. She had a genius pop ear in her peak eras. (Saturday 1 August 2026; 05:12)

Leaving the spotlight for a while (114,334) by MusicfanJ from Germany It is a very sad song. It's not a classical Mariah ballad, but somehow it has such a dark undertone. I still wonder who's the song about. First part about the children, then about her mother and herself? Can a native speaker please explain what she means with the song? Then the last part with the gospel style the song changes again. The song seems the most personal from the album with NII. (Thursday 30 July 2026; 14:06) this is a reply to message 114,329

Leaving the spotlight for a while (114,329) by Bobby A from United States Sorry, I didn't catch it. I am genuinely concerned about MC. I have been listening to her song Here For It All since I made it to Nashville. It hits differently now that I can really tell MC is at a crossroads with her career because she can't perform like she used to. Here For It All is definitely speaking to everything that I have been through in my life. I know MC wrote it because her life has not been easy since Caution was released. It is a very sad song. (Thursday 30 July 2026; 05:44)

Leaving the spotlight for a while (114,313) by MusicfanJ from Germany The "team" could find a job by another artist. But I know what you mean. MC should not stay and work for the staff. Just care for herself and children and take some time only for herself. A year is a good thing. Then she could come back with new ideas and energy. She's not twenty anymore, it's okay to "load up the batteries". She has worked enough like for 3-4 lives. She's not 70, but should have some free time and time to relax and live healthier. But she must want it for herself. (Tuesday 28 July 2026; 16:24) this is a reply to message 114,310

Leaving the spotlight for a while (114,310) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Dont worry. She won't leave the spotlight because if it happens then her team would lose their paycheck. All the "yes ma'am" people in her team would make sure she works until her last breath. They rely on her for a salary and every now and then they would say "that was so good" to her "lack of effort, no blinking eyes, looking to the monitor" performance. Reference: Underneath The Stars latest live video. (Tuesday 28 July 2026; 10:33)

Best ABMB live performance (114,304) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post Will. "Made Mariah's performances so special and personable". Yes, I see it the same way. I never needed a big show, Mariah with her smile and aura was enough. She had magic back then. She was stunning all the way, her "Mariah style" so unique and I loved it from the first time I saw her on TV. That warm smile, the eyes shining. Now she seems so sad. With "HFIA" you're right too. After reading your thoughts about the album I also think it's not an up-lifting one. It has some good songs on it. I love "My love" and "NII". Somehow it feels like "a last album". I hope there will be another album with songs and lyrics more in the style of "Butterfly". But I'm not so sure that this will happen. But perhaps Mariah will surprise us with another one.

Best ABMB live performance (114,300) by Will from England I miss Mariah just smiling naturally during her singing and having fun. Lately she's so wrapped up in not missing her cue or a lyric or not hitting a note, that she's forgotten to have fun whilst performing. This performance is carefree, has improvised moments, interactions, some funny bits, everything that made Mariah's performances so special and personable. Put this performance and then immediately play her piano led moments, and it's two different people. I agree with the other comments, that spark she had for performing has faded, whether it be through medication or otherwise. I had so much trouble connecting with HFIA, because it's overall, it is just a depressing album sonically, vocally and thematically. To me, it speaks of a woman who feels lost, in the depths of depression - a theme continued on from Portrait. It puts me into a depressive mood whenever I hear a song from it. It's a feeling I've never felt from her albums, so it's my least played. There is more power in her revealing what is wrong and owning it, rather than shutting it away (look at Celine) but ultimately it is her choice on whether or not to reveal it. She could have become a spokesperson for bipolar, to talk about it, spread awareness and understanding, hell could have even used it as a source of inspiration for songwriting (it would be the most vulnerable she would be in years ever since Petals), but instead released the information to beat Stella to it and has never spoken of it since. Again, it is her right to do so, but in not sharing it, she has become a prisoner of her own gilded cage. (Monday 27 July 2026; 01:09)

Best ABMB live performance (114,303) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with "everyone is responsible for their own happiness". I try to live that way. But there are a lot of people famous and normal ones who really got broke "inside" after loosing someone. I can understand it. The heart can break from suffering, the soul will follow and then the health won't be there anymore. I think the divorce from Nick, the shame with all the different baby mamas was too much for her. Plus the loss of her mother. Plus maybe other things with her health she doesn't want to speak of. I just wish she would find real happiness again. Alone or with a partner. Inner peace and health. With all her money she could take a wonderful journey to beautiful places, maybe even meet normal people who are not in the circus showbusiness. She should stay away from the "wrong" yes-people.

Best ABMB live performance (114,302) by Edward from USA Bobby A, enough with the blame game. Nobody else is responsible for your happiness. That's like parents who raise their children as an investment, expecting them to be responsible for their happiness or to support them financially when they get old. Relationships can affect someone's life, but at the end of the day, each person is responsible for their own happiness. Blaming Nick for Mariah's sadness 12 years later is a huge reach and, to me, completely ridiculous. (Monday 27 July 2026; 06:00)

Best ABMB live performance (114,298) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I agree in everything you said. That spark is missing. With it she was the best. (Sunday 26 July 2026; 11:45) this is a reply to message 114,296

Best ABMB live performance (114,296) by Lighty from China This is the Mariah that I miss the most. She had sparkles in her eyes and passion when she's singing live on stage, and more importantly, she was focused. Compared to the most recent Underneath the Stars "performance", it's like two completely different persons. I hope she gets her energy and health back, and be able to run on stage again. (Sunday 26 July 2026; 05:36)

Madonna reached number 1 (114,297) by MusicfanJ from Germany It was because of the world cup show. Right after that she reached number one. Her gig was really short but fun to watch with the Brazilian Ronaldo and the car intro. Madonna was always Madonna plus she's really fit for her age. I'm not surprised that she's back at number one. (Sunday 26 July 2026; 11:39) this is a reply to message 114,293

Madonna reached number 1 (114,293) by Randy from USA So, if Mariah can't do it because she's a legacy artist, how did Madonna do it? So many times on here there's a barrel of excuses for MC's new music not doing well. Thoughts? (Saturday 25 July 2026; 21:02)

Soulless (114,287) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes people are the most dangerous people. They will never "help" you. A good friend is always honest and is trying to help because he/she really cares. The same with critics. Critics can help, of course they must be fair and motivating. But if something is wrong and everyone keeps applauding and smiling (mostly fake) that's dangerous. It happend to many legends. I hope Mariah has at least one person (a grown-up) who is honest and cares for her. A real friend. Not just an employee who will say yes to everything because of the money. (Friday 24 July 2026; 21:19) this is a reply to message 114,285

Soulless (114,285) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Someone from her team should step up and be brave and bold in shutting off the lyrics monitor whenever Mariah is performing. Instruct her to memorize the lyrics like back in the day. This should be the cure and remedy for all her blank stare (she even didn’t blink her eyes) like she's some sort of robot or something. Take a listen to that annoying “that’s so good” from her team when Mariah just finished performing Underneath The Stars from that latest video. All the yes men yes men from her team. No one is giving her constructive criticism. (Friday 24 July 2026; 12:24)

Brian Tanaka (114,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany It is very sad. I liked Bryan Tanaka, he seemed caring and Mariah was way happier with him. I wish they were still together. Since the break-up she seems a bit lost and the sadness in her eyes is still there. I really hoped they would stay together. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 13:50) this is a reply to message 114,268

Brian Tanaka (114,268) by nancy from Switzerland Brian was a great guy. Made Mariah feel special. According to some news he wanted to have a family with own kids. That's the reason they allegedly split up. I honestly think the reason is completely another one: He saw his career stagnating next to Mariah's, and saw that she was on a downward spiral. He decided to save himself from this disaster. Today he has other projects. But still not married and no family. Sadly at some point everybody leaves her, when there is nothing left to make profit from. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 13:05)

Bio-pics / Judy (114,259) by MusicfanJ from Germany Since we had a little conversation about a bio-pic about Mariah with pro's and contra's, I watched "Judy" yesterday. Somehow I missed this movie, but it was so good. I couldn't see Zellweger anymore just Judy Garland. The movie was intense and some scenes were really tough because it was so sad. Just the other week I watched "Control" about Joy Division, another outstanding bio-pic which is so sad too and very hypnotic at the same time. But "Judy" got me even more. I was surprised, maybe because you could see what show-biz had done to her since she was a little girl. I will never watch "Oz" with the same feelings, I didn't know that it was so cruel behind the scenes back then. But back to the bio-pic, when they showed Judy alone in the hotel room with all the pills for sleeping and so on, I thought I hope it's not the same with Mariah. At one scene a doctor says to Miss Garland: "Please take more care of yourself." Of course it was already too late which made it so heartbreaking. The movie resonates quite long. Has anybody else seen it and liked it as a movie/bio-pic? (Tuesday 21 July 2026; 10:53)

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,236) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol, yes. In the future, there will be a chip playing near the ear or brain at that anniversary. But I will still want a cd and will be searching everywhere for it. And maybe Mariah will be still touring with AIWFIY the extra festive world tour.

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,234) by TJ from Norway At one point, it will be [too] late. We, the fans will be so old that we don't understand the technology anymore. (Sunday 19 July 2026; 07:14)

Interesting video (114,227) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also don't like AI videos, "songs", hosts, bands whatever at all. They are still missing a natural view and creative mind of a human being and always will. They just seem fake, it's hard to describe. They may be very "perfect" sometimes but that made them even more artificial. I watched the video and it was boring and nothing new. But the headline will generate some clicks. Let's watch the Daydream concert in NYC or Tokyo. It will never get boring to me. The live version of "Open Arms" in Rotterdam is always a highlight too. I just wish she would have relessed the whole concert. (Saturday 18 July 2026; 13:47) this is a reply to message 114,222

Interesting video (114,222) by jaker20 from US With every post you're sounding more and more clueless. I get it, I had to explain it slowly to my mom too. Now you're saying that's how the internet works, automation. Just a prior post you said he did extensive research. Make up your mind. These content are scraped online fed to AI automation ok, wrapped into AI narration and deepfake thumbnail and sensational headline ok. And yes that is literally the point, to create them with little effort. see, no buzzword. At least you agree it is automated. Just a prior post you said he went in-depth and put effort into research. People like you is why these AI content are thriving. I explained it to my mom and how it's hurting the creative industry and he got it in 5 minutes. But you're just going on contracting yourself.

I am free / Melt away (writing sessions) (114,212) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "I am free" and the writing session is just wonderful. You can really hear the magic in her voice on that one. The tone, it feels like an angel singing. The "Melt away" session sounds so relaxed and soulful. I will be listening on repeat the next days for sure. Daydream forever. (Friday 17 July 2026; 15:50)

Daydream 30 (114,186) by MusicfanJ from Germany OSD had also daily radio airplay here. In my memories Daydream was bigger. But alone for "Fantasy" one Grammy would have been justified. It was the time I became a fan of Mariah so I will always say MC deserved it more at that time. But it shouldn't be for whatever reasons. For me she was the best. .

Daydream 30 (114,185) by Bill from the UK One Sweet Day was only a massive hit in the US. Everywhere else it was just a top ten that came and went like every other song. It meant Open Arms could be released everywhere else whilst OSD was still dragging its heels at Number One in the US. Jagged Little Pill was massive everywhere, Alanis was a fresh new talent unlike anything else at that time. She deserved to win. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 17:17)

Daydream 30 (114,183) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, but MC was the ultimate female star and singer in 95/96. Her hits were played nonstop on the radio even here in Germany. The same with the videos on MTV. Sure Alanis had "Ironic" but compared to Daydream and "One sweet day" it was just a shame that Mariah didn't win at least one Grammy. It was complete unfair and I understand that she was shocked back then on her second peak of her career and fame (after Music Box). There was Mariah mania and no Grammy. On a funny side note: I didn't like Alanis and her music in 96. Because she was the complete opposite from Mariah, musicwise and everything. Lol. Nowadays it's still not "my" music but I like her. Compared to today's music I can enjoy Alanis. I liked her gig during the WorldCup. And I hope England wins today. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 14:22) this is a reply to message 114,173

Daydream 30 (114,173) by Bill from the UK To be fair nothing was going to stand in the way of Jagged Little Pill. That album was absolutely incredible. But, MC definitely should have took home some awards in the other categories she was nominated in. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 01:10)

"If We" (114,181) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. It was such a missed hit. I remember how I loved the song immadiately back then. It had everything. A fresh sound, the melting with Hip-Hop and RnB was perfect on this one. I can also understand that Mariah don't know her until this day. Lol I'm going to play it today on my hifi real loud. Thanks for the reminder of this great song. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 13:52) this is a reply to message 114,166

"If We" (114,166) by Billy from Greece So, I'm playing the Glitter soundtrack at the moment and what a lost opportunity was "If We". When I first heard the album, I remember "If We" was such a revelation, such a wow moment. The melody, the way the verses were structured (especially Nate Dogg's), the way Mariah stacked her vocals, and being so current, so new yet leading the pack, if you know what I mean. How can she not not know her for the rest of her life after watching your efforts being usurped by an opportunist? I know I would. Glitter forever. (Tuesday 14 July 2026; 18:16)
