About Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia: Every Moment I'm Alive Until The End Of Time.

Re: Concert ensemble (99,958) (99,960) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In 2004, for the Charmbracelet concert here in Malaysia Mariah, she only wear one ensemble which is her pink Automatic Princess top and long pants. She was Curlyriah that night. 40,000 people, lambs or no lambs, came to the stadium that night. I was one of them. (Monday 21 March 2022; 11:19)

Re: Favourite ending (99,766) (99,767) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia My ultimate favorite ending is My All live at Rosie 1997. The "tonight, tonight... aaiiteee". Even Rosie responded with "beautiful" together with claps from the audience. The final note sounded so sad yet hopeful. (Thursday 24 February 2022; 01:19)

Re: Whenever You Call mysteries (99,710) (99,715) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Clarence is a white girl, not a cat. Mariah used to stay together with her in a small apartment, together with Josefin, in late 80's and early 90's. It was in a period of before a record deal and after she got signed. That's Clarissa. Confused. Hehe. Clarence is a cat. (Thursday 17 February 2022; 04:11)

Re: And You Don't Remember (99,647) (99,662) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I love this song. The fact that Mariah put this as the second song on the album must also mean she or Sony wanted this song or Can't Let Go for second single after Emotions. They even filmed a commercial in Japan using this song. Mariah said in her interview with Molly in 2005 (after the event Live 8 in London) that this song is one of her favorites from the album. I would prefer if this song be the third single after Can't Let Go instead of that If It's Over (too similar melody with Natural Woman). I always imagine Mariah singing either this song or Can't Let Go at the Grammy 1992. (Monday 7 February 2022; 05:06)

Re: Mariah cover songs (99,637) (99,640) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia As for me, my favorite would be Out Here On My Own. Perfect vocals; raw and expressive. I wonder why Mariah didn't include the song in either Chatmbracelet or The Emancipation of Mimi. It could be a hit. (Saturday 5 February 2022; 15:34)

Whitney Mariah and Celine at the Oscars 1999 (99,590) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia While now we're talking about Mariah and Celine, I just observed that, correct me if I'm wrong, the only time that the vocal trinity happened to be at the same time same place together was at the Academy Awards 1999. Just imagined if the producers wanted the vocal trinity to perform for the In Memoriam segment singing song as a tribute for the legends who passed away. (Tuesday 1 February 2022; 14:59)

Release hot uptempo single for the summer 2022! (99,537) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah needs to bring back the glory era of her hot uptempo leading singles; Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, Loverboy, It's Like That, Touch My Body, Obsessed and #Beautiful. All those songs top the charts. Even Obsessed was number 7 and gone platinum and Loverboy was number 2 and went on to become the best selling single in 2001. It's Like That and #Beautiful were top 20 song. It's Like That was number 16 and it opened up doors for her comeback album in 2005. #Beautiful was number 15. Even I Know What You Want went to number 3. The public loves Mariah's uptempo songs. Enough with all the beat-ballad as the leading single; You're Mine, Infinity, I Don't and With You/GTFO. Just imagine Thirsty or You Don't Know What To Do as the leading single in 2014 with the video setting of You're Mine. Or, just imagine A No No as the leading single for Caution era with the video setting of With You (but with colored version instead of black and white). I'm sure at least those songs would reach top 20 on the charts. The fate of those two eras in 2014 and 2018 would turned out differently. Ok bye. (Wednesday 26 January 2022; 03:46)

Re: Album re-release (99,507) (99,510) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always thought Last Chance and Head Over Heels were originally and left overs from Butterfly. Then she changed her mind and gave it to Allure. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 15:13)

Say Something and I Wish You Knew (or Mine Again) (99,463) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia We all know the story that Mariah and Jermaine collaborated at the last minute for the Mimi era in 2005. Meaning that It's Like That, Get Your Number, Shake It Off and We Belong Together would not be in the original tracklist for the comeback album in 2005. The original plan was to release Say Something as the leading single. As you all know that the pattern for second single would always be a ballad. So I always wonder whether Mariah would pick I Wish You Knew or Mine Again as the second single. I would think Mariah would pick I Wish You Knew. Will I Wish You Knew be as big as We Belong Together topping the charts for 14 weeks? Only God knows. Mariah said in her Japan interview "I almost named this album Joy Ride" so I guess that's the initial album title but then she changed it to The Emancipation of Mimi after she collaborated with Jermaine and recorded It's Like That.

Re: Original title for Somewhat Loved? (99,449) (99,453) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I would prefer if Somewhat Loved and Runway be included in the standard tracklisting for Caution album so that the total songs would be 12 songs. I found it weird that Caution album only had 10 songs. (Monday 17 January 2022; 12:03)

My All featuring Khalid? (99,410) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Fans have been speculating that Brandy would be the featured singer for either Babydoll or The Roof. But I always wondering whether Khalid would be the one for My All, considering the song they did (Fall In Love At Christmas) is very melodically similar to My All and with all the acoustic spanish guitar type of song. (Wednesday 12 January 2022; 04:22)

We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia What if during MTV Unplugged, instead of doing I'll Be There with Trey, Mariah invited Michael Bolton to sing We're Not Making Love Anymore. Will the song reach number one like I'll Be There? Michael at the time was also under Columbia and they were supposed to do a duet for that song for Mariah's Emotions album but we all know that didn't happen. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 07:22)

1990-2000, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2019-2022 (99,313) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah Carey has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 18 years. She is truly the queen of Billboard. Too bad that #Beautiful (2013) and A No No (2019) were not promoted enough to top the charts. Those two singles, the only recent singles by Mariah after 2010 onward, are worth to be on the top, in my opinion. (Wednesday 29 December 2021; 02:46)

Re: AIWFCIY #1 this year? (99,225) (99,237) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia All I Want For Christmas reached to number one spot this week on Billboard Hot 100 dated 25th December. For your information and to others who doesn't know, this number one is for tracking between 10th December (Friday) until 16th December (Thursday). It means Mariah has another chance to be at number one for another week for tracking between 17th December (Friday) until 23rd December (Thursday) because that is the week of Christmas and everyone would be blasting to Christmas music only. So get ready for another week at number one. (Tuesday 21 December 2021; 03:31)

Release the color version of music video (99,206) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah and her team needs to release the color version of the alternative 60's music video of All I Want For Christmas Is You. I just seen the interview of Mariah on the set of that music video on Ukmix and Mariah looks so radiant and beautiful with the red short dress and the bangs. (Saturday 18 December 2021; 14:48)

Here We Go Around Again as the 5th single (99,175) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia If only the song would be included in the debut album, and released as the fifth single after I Don't Wanna Cry. I'm sure it would've reached number one just like the other singles and Mariah would be the first female to have 5 number one singles from one album. Just imagine the video for There's Got To Be A Way be used for Here We Go Around Again. The song fits nicely to be the second uptempo single or sequel to Someday. (Wednesday 15 December 2021; 14:33)

Butterfly 25th anniversary (99,149) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Next year would be Butterfly 25th anniversary and I want Mariah or her team to upload official live performance from that era on Mariah's account: 1. Honey live at Top of The Pop 1997 2. My All live at Saturday Night Live 1997 3. Butterfly live at Late Show with David Letterman 1997 4. Close My Eyes live at Rosie Show 1998 (Tuesday 14 December 2021; 09:54)

Re: Fall in love again with Angels Cry 2018 (99,101) (99,112) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Maybe during the interview, she was meaning to say "Angels in the sky" or "Angels Sky" as in the lyrics "and all the angels in the sky, shine down on us as we roll by". But somehow she got confused and said "Angels Cry" instead. I would prefer if Fall In Love At Christmas" be changed to "Fall in love At Valentine" and make it into an ordinary love song instead of Christmas song. The song can be cherished more by all listeners if it's not a Christmas song. (Saturday 11 December 2021; 00:52)

Why can't it be 30 minutes Christmas Special 2021 (99,080) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I wonder why Mariah only end up performing two songs. With the grand stage set, costumes, dancers, dress, Mariah can add one or two more songs and it can be 30 minutes Christmas Special 2021. She can add songs that she never done before like Miss You Most At Christmas Time (fan favorite) and Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child or even Where Are You Christmas. (Thursday 9 December 2021; 01:07)

Re: Allure (98,726) (98,729) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I really hope Mariah's demo of the songs she wrote for others are still available in the vault. The following are the songs she wrote for others that I would love to hear: 1. Allure - Last Chance 2. Blaque - Don't Go Looking For Love 3. Faith - Where Are You Christmas (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 04:50)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,633) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia My choice of tracklisting: 1. I Feel It 2. Bring It On Home 3. Hypnotized 4. Right To Dream 5. Help Me Make It Through The Night 6. Imperfect 7. Misty Moon 8. Last Chance 9. Turn You Loose (Lilies's Blue) 10. Where Are You Christmas For Last Chance and Where Are You Christmas, I'm very sure Mariah sang the demo as vocal guide for Allure and Faith because they sang those songs exactly like Mariah. (Monday 20 September 2021; 13:23)

You're Mine (Eternal) (98,622) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always thought this song could have been a hit song, or maybe a moderate hit song, if only Mariah perform this song during the song's promotional appearances. In 2014, Mariah made several promo appearances for this song and album, and yet she never performed this song. She went to 106 and Park, MTV First, David Letterman, Today Show, World Music Awards, and NBC Special At Home In Concert. Mariah even went to the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon just to throw money on him (a prank, of course, to congratulate him in his show) without having to perform nor giving interview for the album. If only she took the effort to perform this song live on all those appearances then this song would definitely have more chances to be a hit song. Such a waste of opportunity. The main reason why We Belong Together became a big hit in 2005 was because she took the opportunity to sing live on all the appearances. The only live performance she did for You're Mine (Eternal) was at BET Honors. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 05:45)

Re: Something big is coming (98,600) (98,602) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah would announce her new film role with Dwayne Johnson and she would be singing 6 new songs for the soundtrack. Just for laughs. (Monday 13 September 2021; 04:48)

Mariah and Ryan Reynolds in romantic comedy movie (98,551) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia It's about time for Mariah to act in a high budget romantic comedy movie with Ryan Reynolds. Mariah can sing the soundtrack too. (Thursday 26 August 2021; 12:39)

Re: The Meaning of Mariah audio book error (98,293) (98,303) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Maybe she disown I Don't Wanna Cry as her number one single, so technically I'll Be There is her 5th number one. Even in #1's album non-US edition, the one that I bought, I Don't Wanna Cry is not included. (Thursday 1 July 2021; 10:51)
