About TheButterflyReturns from United States:

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,403) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I think many refer to it as an album because all of the songs are Mariah songs (some with guest artists featured). In contrast, "The Bodyguard" soundtrack contained about six songs by Whitney and seven additional songs by other artists. Soundtracks are most often compilations of songs from various artists (but not always). I remember Mariah originally planned to record six songs for the soundtrack but then decided to do twelve, which made it more like a proper studio album than a soundtrack. I'm glad Mariah is embracing the soundtrack and the movie. The movie is not the best, but I still think it holds its own in the context of mainstream films by recording artists crossing over into movies. It has a fun, escapist vibe that contrasts with the more serious role in "Wisegirls". I just wish Mariah had been able to put out "Loverboy" with the "Firecracker" sample and to properly promote "Never Too Far" as the follow-up single. Both could have been substantial hits and would have helped overshadow the shortcomings of the movie. (Sunday 15 March 2026; 16:32) this is a reply to message 113,399

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,399) by Bobby A from United States We better start saving our coins because when it goes up for presale, it will probably sell out across all variants. I hope MC partners with Fandago or AMC to show Glitter in theaters for two weekends in September. Many Gen Z's probably have not seen Glitter or heard the album. By way, why don't Lambs refer to the Glitter album as a soundtrack? We always say the Glitter album. (Sunday 15 March 2026; 02:11)

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,397) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I'm super excited for the 25th anniversary of "Glitter". I remember venturing out on 9/11 to purchase it and having the "Loverboy" CD single cover taped inside of my locker in middle school. I loved that Fox Family documentary about the making of the film and soundtrack. I loved Mariah's campy visits to TRL in the Rainbow and Glitter eras. All of it made my teenage gay boy heart so happy. I was very intrigued to see that both the soundtrack album and the movie have been pulled off from streaming services. This must mean that we are getting deluxe/alternate/unreleased material related to both the soundtrack *and* the movie. I have a feeling that there are going to be some epic surprises in store for us. Mariah was working on "Glitter" basically from 1997-2001, so I can only imagine what is buried in the vault.

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,382) by Lainsky from Philippines Mariah Carey trends in X with Glitter on its 25th anniversary this year. The headline says, "Mariah Carey now embraces her once-hated Glitter album". The news says, "She's excited for a deluxe reissue this year for its 25th anniversary, including remastered videos, while teasing her unreleased 1995 grunge album and new music." I love it back in 2001 and I love it even more now. It's currently my second all-time favorite album, only next to Butterfly, of course. (Friday 13 March 2026; 12:16)
