About Edward from USA:

Working Hard (Terry Hunter Remix) (103,394) by Edward from USA Working Hard Remix is on fire. I prefer it over the original. I had a dream that Mariah had released the Papua New Guinea version of MB30 CD1 with "Randy's Theme" at the end. One can have a "Right to Dream". (Saturday 9 September 2023; 17:29)

Workin Hard x My Prayer x All I Live For x Hero 09 (103,393) by Edward from USA The same sentiment here. "All I Live For Extended" is just brilliant. I don't know why she cut it off and put that short lived whistle at the end on "The Rarities". "My Prayer" was executed beautifully, vocally and emotionally, but I can understand why "Without You" was chosen, it sounds more current even today. As for "Working Hard", I'm still getting used to it, but I like it. Obviously I had to replace "All I Live For" with the extended version on "The Rarities", what a difference.

Workin Hard x My Prayer x All I Live For x Hero 09 (103,389) by Andrew from the UK Many listens in and I'm won over. They're bloody brilliant. Even - and I never thought I'd say this - Hero (2009). It's like rediscovering Mariah Carey all over again. (Saturday 9 September 2023; 09:58)

It's here (103,359) by Edward from USA How so? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:19) this is a reply to message 103,356

It's here (103,356) by Jamie from UK Love My Prayer great vocals. The vocals on All I Live For are better than on the Rarities too. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:15)

It's here (103,358) by Edward from USA Is My Prayers a cover as we speculated? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:19) this is a reply to message 103,357

It's here (103,355) by Edward from USA Does iTunes still exist? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:13) this is a reply to message 103,352

It's here (103,352) by Jamie from UK Seems it's on Spotify here too, I don't have it though so will wait for iTunes (Friday 8 September 2023; 00:43)

It's here (103,354) by Edward from USA Is it a cover? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:11) this is a reply to message 103,353

It's here (103,353) by Bill from the UK Workin' Hard is phenomenal, and I have no words for My Prayer. I am crying, her voice is sensational. How, how has this stayed locked up for 30 years? Oh Mariah I love you so much. (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:05)

Music Box 30th Anniversary (103,329) by Edward from USA Hard copy but also digital. So, most likely it will be on all the streaming platforms. (Thursday 7 September 2023; 01:21) this is a reply to message 103,327

Music Box 30th Anniversary (103,327) by Andrew from the UK Sorry, CD3? So it's only on hardcopy? (Thursday 7 September 2023; 00:50)

Music Box 30th Anniversary (103,321) by Edward from USA Yes, Proctor's audio has been remastered and will be on CD 3. (Thursday 7 September 2023; 00:03) this is a reply to message 103,318

Music Box 30th Anniversary (103,318) by Andrew from the UK I must admit I don't really understand what is being released and how? Is Proctor's Theatre being released as an audio? If so, is it going on Spotify or do you have to actually purchase a hard copy? It's all pretty confusing. (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 23:22)

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,315) by Edward from USA Don't tell me you were a mini version of Blanche by 20, Stacey. (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 19:59) this is a reply to message 103,309

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,309) by Robert-Anthony from United States My father couldn't understand why I wanted to watch the Golden Girls as teenager. He found out why when I was 20. Lol. (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 00:07)

My Prayer - The Platters (103,312) by Edward from USA I just listened. I can definitely see Mariah singing it. It has its vocal moments. I could even imagine places where some whistles would be placed by Mariah.. (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 01:09) this is a reply to message 103,310

My Prayer - The Platters (103,310) by Pedro from Brazil Some fans are speculating that Mariah's "My Prayer" is actually a cover of a song of the same name by the group "The Platters", because in the promotional video, Mariah's track lasts 2:50, which is similar to this one. What do you think, guys? (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 00:18)

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,305) by Edward from USA Blanche was something else. The ladies are iconic. May they all rest in peace. (Monday 4 September 2023; 22:56) this is a reply to message 103,300

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,300) by Stacey from USA I love me some Blanche Devereux. (Monday 4 September 2023; 08:44)

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,298) by Edward from USA Unless tracks from that recording sessions are released, like All I Live For, she should leave Music Box alone. (Monday 4 September 2023; 02:14) this is a reply to message 103,296

Re-recording Music Box 30 (103,296) by Jamie from UK Just seen a post that there's a rumour Mariah is re-recording one or more tracks for musicbox30 or another project to be released this year. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 19:50)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,292) by Edward from USA I absolutely agree with you. Remastering anything from the late 80's on has resulted in CD's with louder volumes, that's it. Sometimes the remastering process has even ruined the original feel of the CD. For me, remastering works wonders by removing background static noise from recordings that predate the CD era and by improving those recordings that sounded as if the artists were singing from inside a well, other than that, it's just a way to entice people to buy again.

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,291) by Bill from the UK I don't have that version my friend, but that's because it's a lot of snake oil. It won't sound any better than the CD. CD audio (16bit/44.1khz) is better than the top range of human hearing (but a substantial margin), so much like the gold "hi-res" stamp you see, it's marketing with no discernable difference. The fact the K2 CDs play on a regular CD player, which cannot encode any better than the Redbook standard, is testament to that. The only true difference can be heard on the SACD/HDCD format, which you need to play on special decoders/systems. You will hear nuances in the music and perhaps elements deeper in the mix brought to life a bit more. To my knowledge only #1's and Divas Live has been released on that format from Mariah's catalogue. Any difference you hear on the K2 version will likely be down to the mastering, and in most cases it's "louder" only. So, put in your regular Music Box CD and turn up the volume dial and you'll have the same outcome. We are fortunate Mariah recorded her albums in top quality Sony studios (up until Rainbow), the CDs all sound fantastic and are the absolute best they can be. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 10:58)

Mariah Carey lands six new RIAA certifications (103,282) by Edward from USA Merry Christmas got two platinum certifications from 2019-2020 bumping it to an impressive 8x platinum. I guess Christmas will reach diamond status first than Mariah Carey which last certification was on December 1999. It took Daydream 20 years to score another platinum certification.

Mariah Carey lands six new RIAA certifications (103,281) by Randy from USA The debut is not certified Diamond yet? I believe it's sold enough to be certified by now and I really want her to match Whitney's three Diamond albums. (Friday 1 September 2023; 23:35)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,277) by Edward from USA Maybe the vault version of "All In Your Mind". (Friday 1 September 2023; 14:28) this is a reply to message 103,273

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,273) by Shezz from Pk On Twitter she teased that there might be more than one new song. Ughh. Apparently she has also recently registered "Dreamlover - non sample version", has anybody else seen that? Excited for September 8th. (Friday 1 September 2023; 04:15)

New era? (103,252) by Edward from USA The arrogance. Let's keep on talking and debating Mariah's future career, this is not MariahDaily Messageboard. While Mariah has had the very illustrious career most could only dream of, she's not 80, just a 54-year young woman. She has significantly slowed down in the last 10 years and nobody has gone crazy about it. (Monday 28 August 2023; 22:50) this is a reply to message 103,251

New era? (103,251) by David from USA This. You said everything that needs to be said. There's really nothing, literally nothing, else that needs to be discussed about Mariah's future career after this post. Of course, that won't happen, since most of the people on this board would have nowhere to go to express their incredible negativity and insults in an effort to project their own unhappiness.

Great topics this week (103,244) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, make up your mind about all these British men. Remember that Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. (Wednesday 23 August 2023; 07:42) this is a reply to message 103,243

Great topics this week (103,243) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am Andrew. Lol. I love your new profile pic. I thought you had forgotten about me. (Tuesday 22 August 2023; 22:59)

New song? (103,231) by Edward from USA It's called "All to Myself". It's one of the Pepsi ringtones she made back when she got emancipated and changed her name to Mimi. (Monday 21 August 2023; 00:49) this is a reply to message 103,230

New song? (103,230) by Robert-Anthony from United States What is the name of the song at the beginning of this video? I have never heard this song before. (Sunday 20 August 2023; 20:58)

Bill and Rob (103,223) by Edward from USA Bill and Robert-Anthony, stop flirting with Jamie, that's homophobic. Jamie, nice picture. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 17:15)

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,214) by Edward from USA It is perfection indeed. Even though I discovered "Everything Fades Away" years later since it wasn't part of the US version of Music Box, I've placed it at the end of "All I've Ever Wanted", but it always sounds out of place to me. It's a good thing it is now on "The Rarities". "All I've Ever Wanted" vocals are insane. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 03:46) this is a reply to message 103,212

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,212) by Andrew from the UK Everything Fades Away is one of the best unreleased Mariah songs ever. All I've Ever Wanted followed by Everything Fades Away is just magical. Listening to them on repeat now in bed as I used to many years ago. She should have released All I've Ever Wanted. She ought to have received a Grammy for the vocal performance on it. It's perfection. (Friday 18 August 2023; 23:43)

Nodules (103,200) by Edward from USA One can only dream. Many artists have had their nodules treated surgically like Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Adele, Björk, Shirley Manson, Keith Urban, John Mayer and Rod Stewart. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 20:38) this is a reply to message 103,196

Nodules (103,196) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she got her nodules removed and the news will be her new voice. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 13:42)

Kelly Price (103,197) by Edward from USA I was just about to post that. I don't see the reason for her to lie either. She was very nice about her journey with MC in one of her most recent interviews. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 14:03) this is a reply to message 103,195

Kelly Price (103,195) by Randy from USA If you look inside the booklet it says Background: Mariah Carey & Kelly Price only. (Wednesday 16 August 2023; 23:56)

Perfection (103,186) by Edward from USA There are going to be many virtual artists like Gorillaz, but I don't think real artists are going to disappear. While a great song is a great song for most casual listener, fans will always appreciate and look for the human connection. AI is going to be incorporated in everything, we're going to have to deal with it with laws and regulations. (Tuesday 15 August 2023; 14:16) this is a reply to message 103,185

Perfection (103,185) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I agree. Truths and facts and face value of things have started to get blurry. It's a dangerous road the world is on right now, and AI produced covers and songs from living and dead artists is just another thing on that road. Imagine in maybe 50 years, many people will have forgotten what's real and what's not real. If these AI manufactured things wont stop without a license or with warnings that it's not real, people in the future wont investigate every single thing they will come across, and fake song will be thought of as original work. With this developement, people wont know which songs that are actually written and sung by Mariah. One can question if it's a bad thing or not, perhaps Mariah's legacy will live longer? For me personally I would like the original work of an artist to live on, not some manufactured songs without soul. (Tuesday 15 August 2023; 03:40)
