World songs (39,423) by enwar00 from usa It's cool to me hearing which Mariah songs are still played in different parts of the world. Here in Chicago I think it's Always Be My Baby that gets the most recurrent airplay. (Tuesday 8 October 2013; 21:34)

How about this game? Lol (38,934) by enwar00 from usa Which Mariah single would you not have wanted as a single? I'm gonna go with Never Too Far. So not a fan. There's a different song on Glitter that I love, but I'll leave it at that. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:38)

Forever and Butterfly (38,933) by enwar00 from usa Going back to Randy's question, I think both these songs possibly could have been #1s in the US. Both were big radio hits, and Mariah was selling singles by the millions back then. Forever was during the famous Daydream era that we keep speaking of, and had it been released as a commercial single it may have reached the top. Fourth single, less sales, everybody had Daydream, I get that, so put another B-side on there, I don't know. Same thing with Butterfly, and that was only the second single from that album. And I'm not even saying they should've released these singles, just saying that they could have possibly hit the top. Personally, I like Butterfly better. I also think the video was very different. My favorite videos were off that album. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:28)

Randy, Shake it Off (38,932) by enwar00 from usa Haha I like your game. The first single that comes to my mind is Shake it Off. Mariah seemed unstoppable around that time. The single hit big and flew up the charts and was following the record-breaking momentum of We Belong Together, so it seemed destined to hit #1. Not only was it a catchy, bouncy song but in my opinion had a fierce video that was popular as well. I understand that Golddigger went nuts on downloads and kept it at #2, but it's worth mentioning that if We Belong Together wasn't that huge a hit, Shake it Off would've hit #1. What a problem to have though really. By the way, I love love love Can't Let Go, to this day. Brilliant song both in its lyrics and delivery. As an adult the lyrics definitely have taken on meaning for me vs. when it was released. Also, no matter what was said about that video or if Mariah was embarrassed by it or whatever, I love it and think it's classy. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:08)

Stacey (38,881) by enwar00 from usa Congrats. (Friday 2 August 2013; 15:23)

Gilbert (38,870) by enwar00 from usa Congrats. (Thursday 1 August 2013; 1:09)

Arsenio Inquirer article (38,848) by enwar00 from usa I swear that's like the dumbest article I've ever read. How does someone even come up with such ridiculousness. Ok, I'm done posting for now, sorry for flooding the board lol. (Tuesday 30 July 2013; 1:22)

Deedre #Hermosa (38,847) by enwar00 from usa Deedre, #Hermosa, I feel the same way about that video from the first time I saw it. I don't mind the song at all either, and I wasn't offended by the remixes either. The way I looked at them was, take it or leave it. Actually my friend djs at a club and Thursday night I stopped by so he played the Sidney Sampson remix. I was excited I have to say. It was like the highlight of my night, because mostly it was a boring night otherwise. (Tuesday 30 July 2013; 1:16)

Bill from the UK (38,846) by enwar00 from usa I had to think about this for a minute and then I forgot to respond, but I have a few single covers, not just one. Anytime You Need A Friend, the one with the purple tint, she's just so pretty, Underneath The Stars, Dreamlover, The Roof, and We Belong Together. Pretty much in that order. Favorite album cover is easy for me, Butterfly, but the alternate cover where she's looking to the side and her hair is all over, you know that one? Wow I just remembered she signed a poster of that pic when I had met her at a signing. I still need to frame that. (Tuesday 30 July 2013; 0:58)

I Love The Way (38,845) by enwar00 from usa Personally, I'd never heard or read any comparisons between Ariana Grande and Mariah before this board, so I can't comment or be irritated on any of that. But I can comment on what I've heard with my own ears. I've only heard her one song I Love The Way, and the first time I heard it on the radio a couple months ago, I thought it was Mariah. I wasn't sure, because it was only the last part where its like background vocals and the chorus, but between that and the beat, it was enough to call the radio station and ask if they were playing a new Mariah song. The dj was like, no, its Ariana Grande, but Mariah does have a new song out. This was after #Beautiful had been on the radio. In any case, I like that song, and I remember being excited in those few seconds that it was the new Mariah song. (Tuesday 30 July 2013; 0:39)

Bill from UK (38,817) by enwar00 from usa I love the new pic. Classic. (Saturday 27 July 2013; 2:44)

Looking In (38,683) by enwar00 from usa I'm obsessed with the black and white and pink yet lavender clip of Mariah singing Looking In from yesterday. I can't even know what to say about how it feels watching it. Hearing and seeing it live brings the song to life for me this many years later. Amazing. (Monday 15 July 2013; 6:37)

#Beautiful (38,657) by enwar00 from usa The Sidney Sampson remix is on the radio right now. And I think it sounds great. Am I the only one that likes that mix? (Sunday 14 July 2013; 6:46)

Stacey, angels cry bliss (38,641) by enwar00 from usa Isn't it great when that happens? That same song did that to me last year. I always enjoyed it, but one day I randomly played it on Vevo and something just clicked and I had to repeat it like 5 times in a row. The song I recently rediscovered was Bliss. I very rarely listen to Rainbow, almost never, but I listened to it off the Playlist cd and I was really digging it. (Thursday 11 July 2013; 8:05)

Too R&B (38,640) by enwar00 from usa I have to somewhat disagree that Mariah came out as like this pure pop artist. She was just really popular. I feel like right from the debut she was singing r&b or r&b flavored songs. They were almost all #1 hits on the r&b charts too. Although that first album did have variety, she even rapped on it lol. Same with Emotions and Unplugged, like the song If It's Over. I do agree though that with Music Box they pushed for a more poppy sound, for lack of a better word, with more ballads and adult contemporary. And that made her even more popular, especially internationally. So I don't know why they wouldn't put Slipping Away on Daydream because it was too r&b, because like Stacey said, so are a lot of songs on there. Maybe the beat was too hip hop lol. Maybe they didn't want thirteen songs because of superstition. Maybe Mariah didn't think it was good enough. Don't we just love it though? (Thursday 11 July 2013; 7:53)

Slipping Away (38,593) by enwar00 from usa Haha that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw unreleased song. So far, so far. I can't say I'm a fan of X-Girlfriend. Super trendy song. I can't think of anything else right now. I gotta get me some sleep. (Saturday 6 July 2013; 14:58)

#Hermosa video (38,530) by enwar00 from usa I like the #Hermosa video, it's cute. I think I prefer it over the original, seems natural and I like the scenery. I personally don't mind that it's the Spanglish version of the song, it doesn't offend me at all. (Tuesday 2 July 2013; 16:25)

Meriweatherc86 and #Beautiful (38,418) by enwar00 from usa I agree with you in your last post. I'm thinking they're appealing to fans of A$AP Rocky with it. It'll get some extra exposure, maybe streams, downloads, and that's the goal. Now there's four more coming, which may have the same affect, maybe on different audiences. I don't think the promo for this single has been bad. That's just my opinion. It's been consistent and the song is performing the same way on the charts. Speaking of charts, since that's the most important thing not if you like a song, it can still go back up. All it takes is people clicking this week for it to shoot up on Billboard next week. Plenty of songs go up down up. (Thursday 27 June 2013; 17:28)

Licia (38,367) by enwar00 from usa Are you serious? That is hilarious and crazy. (Tuesday 25 June 2013; 15:42)

Delay (38,366) by enwar00 from usa I mean, if I'm being honest, I'm less excited now. (Tuesday 25 June 2013; 15:40)

Mike WiLL Made It (38,336) by enwar00 from usa I love some of his productions and style. I'm looking forward to hear what he and Mariah make. (Sunday 23 June 2013; 1:44)

Heartbreaker / If You Should Ever Be Lonely (38,308) by enwar00 from usa JayAr made me think of this song again. I legit listened to it on repeat a few weeks ago, the Junior Vasquez club remix. Does anyone else love that remix? Lol. (Thursday 20 June 2013; 0:43)

JayAr (38,307) by enwar00 from usa That is so random, how did you even think of that? I actually don't like that song, but it would be an interesting remix, and if Mariah redid it, I probably would like it. Speaking of George Michael, I used to not be able to tell the difference when the beginning of Can't Let Go and his song One More Try would come on the radio. Similar intros, in my opinion, back then at least. (Thursday 20 June 2013; 0:39)

#Beautiful still growing (38,299) by enwar00 from usa For me personally, I like how they're allowing the song to grow and build week after week, releasing an explicit video here, a remix there, rather than rushing out a second single. It seems to be more enjoyable, for me, and is definitely building up the anticipation for the album. Like it's making the era last longer. I know a lot of this is based on how a song is performing and is being received, but I feel like a couple years ago in general it seemed like a second single was being rushed more often and earlier prior to an album's release. Anyhow, only one month and some odd days left for the whole thing. (Wednesday 19 June 2013; 5:53)

RadChad (38,195) by enwar00 from usa I love the new picture. (Sunday 9 June 2013; 1:15)
