One Heart, One Voice (109,520) by Hector from Mexico I want more dated songs like One heart, One Voice please. I love it. (Sunday 29 June 2025; 02:27)

One Heart, One Voice (109,509) by Hector from Mexico I'm with you. (Saturday 28 June 2025; 01:17) this is a reply to message 109,504

One Heart, One Voice (109,504) by TJ from Norway I'm more like: the voice, the arrangement and then the lyrics. Always been like that. Am I the only one? (Friday 27 June 2025; 21:18)

Barbra's song (109,498) by Hector from Mexico She's not able anymore. That's for sure. (Friday 27 June 2025; 18:31) this is a reply to message 109,494

Barbra's song (109,494) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I agree with you and everybody else. It's beautiful and reminiscent of golden ages. However, Mariah's voice sounds weaker than the others or somehow different (I don't know how to put it). Probably she could have soared more. I'm not sure if she doesn't want to or she is not able anymore. (Friday 27 June 2025; 16:07)

Elusive Chanteuse (109,484) by Hector from Mexico Never, in any universe, that album would be Mariah's best. (Friday 27 June 2025; 04:25) this is a reply to message 109,482

Elusive Chanteuse (109,482) by Mariahsbaby from usa I asked Chatgpt, why "it's" her greatest album and I couldn't agree more. I hope y'all read it because not one lie was found. "Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse" (2014) is often overlooked in Mariah Carey's discography, but a strong argument can be made that it's actually her best - or at least her most complete, emotionally rich, and artistically fearless album. Here's a breakdown of why: 1. Vocal mastery: a return to form This album showcases Mariah's most confident, controlled vocals since the early 2000s. Tracks like: "Cry." - raw, gospel-inflected ballad with complex vocal layering. "Camouflage" - delicate falsettos and deeply emotional delivery. "Heavenly (No Ways Tired / Can't Give Up Now)" - a stunning spiritual closer that channels peak gospel-era Mariah. Even in her 40s, her range, emotive depth, and technical ability remained untouched - arguably surpassing many of her contemporaries. 2. Genre-spanning without losing identity "Me. I Am Mariah" is a genre kaleidoscope that fuses: Classic R&B ("You're Mine (Eternal)") Hip-hop soul ("Thirsty", "Dedicated" feat. Nas) Jazz/gospel balladry ("Cry.", "Camouflage") Funky throwbacks ("#Beautiful" feat. Miguel, "Make It Look Good") Unlike some albums that feel like playlists, this one is cohesive - bound together by her personal themes and distinct vocal arrangements. 3. Her most personal album The title itself ("Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse") nods to self-definition, and many tracks explore loss, longing, hope, and identity: "Camouflage" and "Cry." dig into heartbreak with unflinching honesty. "Supernatural" includes recordings of her children, offering a rare glimpse into her maternal life. "Heavenly" feels like both a spiritual catharsis and tribute to her resilience. It's her emotional truth on full display - unfiltered and mature. 4. Uncompromising artistic control Released with minimal label interference, this is one of the few albums where Mariah had near-total creative control: She chose not to chase commercial trends. She didn't rely heavily on big-name features for chart success. She focused on craft, not singles - creating a full body of work. This isn't "radio Mariah" - it's artist Mariah. 5. Critically underrated but cult-classic While it didn't perform as well commercially, critics and fans often cite it as a hidden gem in her catalog. It's the kind of album that ages better with time, revealing layers upon repeat listens. Pitchfork, The Guardian, and Slant all praised its musical depth and called it one of the most underappreciated pop albums of its decade. Why it's her best? Vocal excellence with emotional nuance Eclectic but cohesive Deeply personal and honest Creatively unfiltered A grower that rewards attentive listening "Me. I Am Mariah" isn't just an album - it's a statement. And in that way, it might be the purest expression of who Mariah Carey truly is as an artist. (Friday 27 June 2025; 01:22)

Barbra's song (109,481) by Hector from Mexico How beautiful it is to hear Mariah under Walter's production again. One heart, One voice is great. (Friday 27 June 2025; 00:42)

Re: AIWFCIY (100,387) (100,396) by Hector from Mexico This lawsuit is silly. Obviously they're two different songs with the same title. That has happened a lot before. That guy wants money. (Sunday 5 June 2022; 21:54)

Somewhat Loved (98,140) by Hector from Mexico I love it! Really, I think it's great. Great collaboration. (Thursday 10 June 2021; 20:04)

(96,898) by Hector from Mexico Finally watched the Magical Christmas Special... and I loved it. It's beautiful from beggining to end. (Friday 11 December 2020; 01:20)

Oh Santa 2020 (96,791) by Hector from Mexico The same backing track from 2010, some new vocals by Mariah, Jennifer and Ariana sound good but nothing special. On the video Mariah was slimed down digitally, the green screen is awful. I prefer the 2010 version. (Friday 4 December 2020; 06:20)

Re: Copy and paste (96,692) (96,693) by Hector from Mexico It will be copy/paste. (Friday 20 November 2020; 20:12)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,668) (96,669) by Hector from Mexico Mariah will never sing live with Ariana and Jennifer. That would be suicide. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 22:11)

Re: Solid Mariah (96,367) (96,372) by Hector from Mexico Michael had a song named Unbreakable from the album Invincible. (Tuesday 20 October 2020; 21:53)

Re: Song replacements (96,134) (96,141) by Hector from Mexico Mariah Carey Replace: You need me With: Here we go around again Music Box Replace: I've Been Thinking About You With: All I live for Music Box Replace: Never forget you With: Do you think of me Daydream Replace: Long ago With: Slipping away Glitter Replace: Reflections With: Out Here On My Own E=MC2 Replace: O.O.C. With: Cool On You MIAMTEC Replace: Supernatural With: Mesmerized (Monday 12 October 2020; 23:01)

The Rarities (95,900) by Hector from Mexico I'm loving The Rarities. My favorites are [Out here on my own], [All I live for], Mesmerized and [Here we go around again]. I'm not counting [Everything fades away], [Slipping away] and [Do you think of me] because I already have them. Loverboy is better than the album version (to me) but still isn't a really great song like Fantasy or Heartbreaker. (Thursday 1 October 2020; 21:37)

Out Here On My Own (95,620) by Hector from Mexico Great cover. Fantastic vocals. Much better than the original. I have it on repeat. (Friday 18 September 2020; 19:44)

Re: There For Me (95,095) (95,096) by Hector from Mexico There For Me is horrible. (Saturday 22 August 2020; 01:09)

Save the Day (95,088) by Hector from Mexico I was excited but I didn't like the song. Anyway, I will buy The Rarities album. (Friday 21 August 2020; 20:15)

Re: Rarities album (95,034) (95,042) by Hector from Mexico 3 is "Do you think of me" (I think). (Friday 21 August 2020; 06:59)

Re: Dreamteam (94,806) (94,807) by Hector from Mexico "Jermaine Dupri who is far better producer than Walter." That's subjective. To me, Walter is a better producer than JD. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 21:06)

Re: Loverboy firecracker (94,038) (94,044) by Hector from Mexico There's a fan made version of Loverboy with the Firecracker sample. (Friday 8 May 2020; 19:44)

Charmbracelet (93,947) by Hector from Mexico Charmbracelet is Mariah's worst album (for me). Even Me I Am Mariah is a little better. I love songs like Subtle Invitation, Lullaby, The One and Yours but I hardly listen to the rest. Miss You (a song that I love) was relegated to B-side. (Sunday 3 May 2020; 02:16)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (92,997) by Hector from Mexico 1. Till the end of time 2. Just to hold you once again 3. Languishing 4. The distance 5. When I saw you (Saturday 22 February 2020; 22:53)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,303) by Hector from Mexico Charmbracelet has very good songs, but the singles selection was awful. My choice: The one Yours Clown (Monday 13 January 2020; 03:13)
