The Rarities 2 should have new previously unreleased material. These peformances are good and all, but that's about it. Mariah released a few gems on The Rarities she had kept hidden from us, we need more of recordings from the Daydream and the Music Box eras.

Is Mariah in a Jacksons video? (102,392) by Edward from USA
(Friday 24 March 2023; 20:23)
That's Mariah on the video dancing her ass off. You're just haters. Mariah Carey has surpassed 22 billion streams across Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube.

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,383) by Edward from USA
(Thursday 23 March 2023; 16:48)
These songs were #2, but they are better than many of her number ones.
1. Endless Love
2. Can't Let Go
3. Without You
4. Shake It Off

It's good we can create our own version of #1's. Some of the best tracks would be excluded from Greatest Hits CDs forcing people to buy the whole album from which the track came from. Then there was the beautify of buying the tracks individually, so that trick didn't make sense anymore. I haven't ever played Infinity as part of her #1's.

I agree, sadly we got Infinity.

#Beautiful (102,372) by Edward from USA
(Wednesday 22 March 2023; 14:53)
I love me some #Beautiful, don't get me wrong. I played that song like there was no tomorrow, but there was always the feeling that something was missing. Many speculated back then it was just a shortened version for the radio. One must admit though that it was her last time she was close to having a hit.

#Beautiful (102,369) by Edward from USA
(Wednesday 22 March 2023; 01:06)
#Beautiful is a nice song, but it lacks a bridge or something. Some artists sacrifice the integrity of their songs by making them too short in order to have a better chance at a hit. Mariah has just a six-line verse in #Beautiful while Miguel has an 8-line one and then the chorus. Marian [sic] sounded like a guest on her own song.

"All Cried Out" should've been recorded by Marian [sic]. Now that's a great song.

Lambs request (102,353) by Edward from USA
(Thursday 16 March 2023; 13:24)
Aren't we all? I hope there are some killer songs vocally, even if she won't perform them live. Barbra was 55 when she recorded "Tell Him" with Celine. She gave a 29-yo Celine a run for her money. How I wish Mariah's voice were in a similar state, it is so sad. It is what it is though.

(Thursday 9 March 2023; 13:36)
Mariah is definitely the queen of great remixes, as in her maxi singles were like mini albums. My speakers suffered a stroke since I blasted the Honey and Heartbreaker maxi singles so much, it had to be put on life support. Many of her remixes were far superior than the original. She was definitely a tour de force.

Remixes (102,320) by Edward from USA
(Thursday 9 March 2023; 04:24)
BB still counts remixes, but if they are structurally different from the original song then they're considered as two different songs. If Jennifer's I'm Real (Murder Remix) and Mariah's Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) were released today, they wouldn't be considered as remixes for BB purposes, so their airplay, streams and sales wouldn't be combined with the airplay, streams and sales of the original songs. In other words, if you can't recognize the original song in the remix, then they two different songs. #Beautiful and #Beautiful (Jeezy Remix) had combined airplay, streams and sales. While Jesse's rap was added, the lyrics and music didn't go far from the original. Same with Big Energy, but since the original was more popular, Mariah wasn't credited.

What BB did was to be expected and not only affected Mariah. A remix shouldn't be a completely different song. Nobody at BB is sabotaging her. Mariah scored her 19th #1 hit when they changed the rule that allow recurrent holiday songs to chart again. She's now sitting pretty with 12 weeks at the top and counting with a nearly 30-year old song.

"Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix)" is far superior than the album version, but it's a completely different song. Same for Jennifer's "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" which was the song that prompted the rule change. Many were boosting mediocre songs by combining their airplay/sales with that of their respective remixes. That wasn't fair for those artists who didn't have the muscle or budget behind them to do the same.

At this point I think we need to stop with the paranoia and conspiracy theories. How bigger of an artist could Mariah be? Many would dream of having a tenth of her success.

The real reason for no respect (102,294) by Edward from USA
(Monday 6 March 2023; 18:36)
Mariah was a natural born singer. Before she could even write anything, she was already correcting or emulating her mother, sometimes even leaving her speechless. She developed into a great lyricist, but she loved being showy like the rest of them when the opportunity presented itself. She was nervous during that performance you mentioned, but she was also very young and basically thrown into this gargantuan fame that could've swallowed anyone alive easily. Mariah was showy countless times on Arsenio Hall while singing Emotions, Vanishing, Vision of Love. She gave the best rendition of Vision of Love on Good Morning America, impeccable, surreal. About her nuances, well, that's what really put her in a league of her own, she wasn't just a singer that could blow, but a singer that could paint beautiful songs with her voice and artistry, what she sung came from her soul rather than somebody else's. I've always loved Whitney, her powerful vocals were unmatched, but Mariah's voice spoke to my soul and the souls of millions of people. When her instrument was in its prime, it was untouchable. I can't imagine Whitney, Chaka or Patti singing "Music Box", "Underneath The Stars", "Melt Away", "Fourth of July", no because they couldn't, but because their artistry wasn't at that level. When Mariah started losing her voice, she's started pushing her writing abilities to the front, it was evident she knew what was happening to her. It is sad, but in my humble opinion, the quality of her voice has always been directly proportional to the quality of her lyrics. When she was in her prime vocally, her lyrics were more poetic, balanced, beautiful, mature, but as the voice started deteriorating, her pen game also changed for the worse.

Hype for new album (102,269) by Edward from USA
(Tuesday 28 February 2023; 01:01)
She should concentrate on putting good music out. At this point she won't be selling a lot, but new music would give her some relevancy. Marian [sic] used to have a veil of mystery, so I appreciate her being quiet and let the music do the talking. Every time she hypes something up, it ends up being a disappointment.

Things don't work like that anymore. People stream more than listen to the radio. If it gets enough momentum on the main streaming platforms, radio would pick it up eventually. Some stations have started playing it.

From 2014 to 2018? No, thank you. More 1990's and 2000's is needed. With a sprinkle of 2010's of course.

Super Bowl (102,223) by Edward from USA
(Tuesday 14 February 2023; 19:30)
I think Rihanna should've waited for the next Super Bowl. The halftime performance was visually stunning, but the energy wasn't there. If Mariah could walk unaided and with her 90's voice, she could've definitely pulled this off better than Rihanna. When Mariah was in control of her voice, she exuded confidence and put it all out there. I could see a Madison Square Garden Daydream Mariah pulling this off, but right now, she shouldn't even entertain the idea. She would probably get to the Halftime late anyway.

I have heard from some older people that when you get to be a certain age you just stop caring much about certain things. Mariah is not the only woman over 50 who's weight fluctuates, but I don't think it has to do with anything in particular. I know many people in their 60's who are in very good shape and who are dealing with a lot of ailments, but they're disciplined and serious about their health. Mariah, unlike most people, has an arsenal of resources at her disposal to offset any side effects from medications, she probably has a personal chef who can cook anything healthy for her, and also has access to workout privately with a personal trainer too. I think Mariah gets in shape when she wants to get in shape, period. I don't think she's a damsel in distress waiting for the next treadmill to be available so that she can get on ultrasonic high heels with a splash in hand just in case she needs hydration.
