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

Where I Belong (82,730) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Will we ever see the day where she releases the song and the video? From the snippets I've heard, the song is catchy and perfect for the summer. (Sunday 10 June 2018; 08:30)

I Pray (82,581) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always feel that I Pray was supposed to be included in The Emancipation Of Mimi, and she decided to omit the song because of two reasons: the first reason was because LA Reid made her to record more songs with Jermaine therefore several songs from the original tracklist needed to be omitted. Second reason, the way Paul Robbins sings on the song is exactly carbon copy of Mariah's technique and style. The true lambs would notice this. So I'm convinced that the original audio of Mariah singing this song is definitely in her catalogue. I'm praying one day Mariah would release this and other songs like Where Are You Christmas and Last Chance (Allure song but Mariah wrote and produced this song). (Wednesday 30 May 2018; 04:38)

Second Chance (82,309) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In one of the old interviews, Mariah told that she would love to have an album consist of all her unreleased songs and named the album as "Second Chance". So I guess if the new album is still farther away, she can just compile all her unreleased songs (she has plenty obviously) including her Pepsi Ringtone song, Time of Your Life, and make it into full song and release it as first single. The song is perfect for the summer. She can have her 19th #1. (Sunday 6 May 2018; 04:42)

Re: New album title (82,135) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I just found out from another forum (UKMix) that Mariah has registered a song at the ASCAP site titled "Headlines". I think "Headlines" is such a catchy album title. (Wednesday 25 April 2018; 02:02)

New album title (81,873) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia It would be super if she named her new album with one word title as before. I would suggest "Inspired" or "Inspiration", "Blessed" or maybe "Limelight". It just came to my knowledge from reading other forum that Limelight was the original album title for Rainbow. As for her new single, it would be best if she goes for uptempo song like Time Of Your Life. She can even finish up that song and release it next month (perfect for summer).

All I Want For Christmas live at St John 1994 (79,950) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I believe that this is the perfect time to release the live performance of All I Want For Christmas at St John The Divine 1994. The live performance would definitely increase the hype of the song and hopefully it will increase streaming and download. (Monday 18 December 2017; 14:39)

Maid outfit hairstyle (52,231) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Do you guys remember the hairstyle that Mariah had when she rocked that maid outfit on Ellen? I think it would be the best hairstyle for this era. Just imagine Mariah with that hairstyle wearing the black dress similar to the Infinity cover singing My All, Love Takes Time and I Don't Wanna Cry. Perfect. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 8:54)

Black and white cover art (51,986) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Wow, I really like it. The photo has less photoshop and the dress screams classy. Regardless what cover art, we need to come out full force to make Infinity number one. I hope the song would be about the greatest love someone has for the other, like "we belong together for infinity" kind of lyrics. The video needs to have theatrical elements in order to grasp public's attention. I remember Mariah said that the success of Heartbreaker was partially due to the video that had a great storyline including a great fight scene. As for her vocal performance, I pray that Mariah spends time to work out in order to gain more stamina and strength to belt all of her 90's hits like no one can. It doesn't hurt if she looks exactly like American Idol era. (Friday 17 April 2015; 20:36)

Infinity music video (51,803) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Wouldn't it be great if she wears the exact same dress on the new album cover in the new music video of Infinity? Definitely she needs to work out hard to gain that body just to silence all the photoshop-critics. I pray for Infinity to reach #1 on Billboard Hot 100, her 19 #1 at tracklisting #19. How ironic is that? (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 8:24)

Infinity (51,518) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I really hope Infinity would be an uptempo song in the same group as Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker. The song needs a big budget video, maybe in Las Vegas. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 16:16)

Christmas movie male lead (51,205) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Oh gosh, now that Mariah and Brett have announced the Christmas movie they are working on, I'm assuming that Mariah would take the female lead, and who would be the perfect actor for the male lead? What about Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock)? He's good friend with Brett and Mariah though. Mariah even attended the Hercules premiere (the movie was directed and produced by Brett). Or maybe Hugh Jackman. I remember he said something about wanting to work with Mariah in interview during People's Choice Awards 2010. They even snapped a photo together. What do you guys think is the best male lead? Give your opinion, who knows they are reading this board and decide it's a good idea. (Saturday 28 March 2015; 16:10)

All I've Ever Wanted (51,114) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Let's request for Mariah to sing the song acapella or with piano and put it on YouTube. Imagine that. (Wednesday 25 March 2015; 12:37)

Honey video (original and remix) (51,069) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I do agree that Honey video is the epitome or blueprint for all music video of female singers in the land. I was 16 years old when the video came out and I still remember talking to myself how beautiful Mariah was in the video. She was so perfect looking especially in the remix video where she parted all her hair to left covering her left eye. She even performed this live with the same hairstyle and look at Top Of The Pops in 1997 wearing the white ensemble. Perfect. (Saturday 21 March 2015; 5:49)

Unreleased songs (50,827) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Now that she is back to Sony, I guess it's the perfect time to release all her unreleased recorded songs from 1990 until 2000. For example, Where Are You Christmas, left off songs from Glitter (Turn You Loose), and I'm sure she has couple of left off songs from her debut album as well as from the epic trinity albums Music Box, Daydream and Butterfly. Just imagine how the vocals would be. (Thursday 12 March 2015; 19:34)

Whitney Mariah Celine Madonna Janet (50,574) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Oh boy, here we are again, discussing the good old divas. Those who lived in the 90's surely cannot escape from hearing and listening to these 5 ultimate divas. It's a shame that those 5 were not able to share a stage together. The year 1997/1998 were definitely the year where all these divas releasing their masterpiece album. Whitney: My Love Is Your Love Mariah: Butterfly Celine: Let's Talk About Love Madonna: Ray Of Light Janet: Velvet Rope (Monday 2 March 2015; 16:05)

How I wish (50,402) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia How I wish that it was Mariah who was paying tribute to Julie Andrews (as Maria) singing the soundtracks medley of The Sound Of Music. That would be a great promotion for her Vegas gig as well as gaining back the confident of public on her singing. Just imagine it was Mariah who was getting the standing ovation and the next day it was all over the news and went viral at social media. How I wish. (Wednesday 25 February 2015; 16:40)

My All live at Saturday Night Live 1997 (50,057) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In my humble view, Mariah's best performance of My All would be at SNL 1997. That's where she looked the best, golden side-parted hair and she's wearing a red top, black suit and black pants, talk about sexy and classy at the same time. Her voice was on point, lower, middle and high range were all perfectly executed. She seemed to be in full confidence and in control of the performance. How I wish the new generations would be able to see this performance. Somehow, deep inside me, I wish Mariah could deliver her vocals just like this performance again. (Thursday 12 February 2015; 15:52)

Trey Lorenz (49,856) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia How can he be truth to Mariah on her voice when he's also jumping on the same ship with her lipsyncs his high notes in I'll Be There lately. Talk about birds of a feather flock together. (Saturday 7 February 2015; 2:19)

Change of setlist (49,758) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I agree with certain fans on this messageboard that recommended Mariah to ignore her belting hits songs (WBT, Hero, VOL etc) and just focus on changing her setlist that compliment her current vocals. The Lullaby Of Birdland is just perfect song for her current vocals. I list down Mariah's original songs that does not involved belting and much more suitable for her now: 1. Close My Eyes (she loves this song) 2. Petals (she loves this as well) 3. Looking In 4. Right To Dream 5. Underneath The Stars (just ignore the belting adlibs) 6. Love Story (acoustic) 7. Thirsty 8. Beautiful 9. I Know What You Want 10. Do You Know Where You're Going To If she performed those above songs, fans and new would go crazy over her all over again. (Wednesday 4 February 2015; 17:58)

Damage control (49,693) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In my humble view, I would say the best that Mariah and her team could do to control the damage that is done is by releasing a new single and promote the hell out of it with live raw vocal performance. The song must be an inspirational ballad with killer vocals, maybe Bring It On Home or maybe Save The Day. She needs to promote the song on all major tv talkshow, like at David Letterman, The Talk, Ellen, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, etc. In a way the single could raise higher publicity to her Vegas show. (Tuesday 3 February 2015; 13:46)

Earpiece problems (49,618) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia As a fan since 1995, I do observed that since 2005 Mariah keeps on having earpiece problem during her live performance. I list down all those live performances where she's having those earpiece drama. 1. American Music Awards 2005 2. Good Morning America 2008 3. Live in Morocco 2012 4. Live in Australia 2013 5. Good Morning America 2013 6. Live at Rockefeller Center 2014 7. Live at Beacon Theatre 2014 8. Live in Jamaica 2015 Mariah and her team needs to look at this earpiece problem as serious and damaging. I still hope her Vegas stint would be free from all this earpiece drama. (Monday 2 February 2015; 15:27)

Charmbracelet tour - Malaysia February 2004 (45,735) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah is heading again for the second time in Malaysia in October 2014, so I just want to share my experience went to her concert in 2004. The show supposed to start at 8.00 pm but she only began at 9.15 pm. It's worth the wait, anyway. She started the show by sitting/sanding at the backseat of a convertible car and the driver drove round the stadium and Mariah waved and smiled to all her 30,000 fans that night. She performed 15 songs in total and the highlight of the show was when she showcased her powerful vocals belting her popular ballads; My All, Without You, Hero, I'll Be There and Through The Rain. Those 5 songs are very popular on the radio in Malaysia as well as in Asia. No lipsyncing or pre-recorded at all, trust me. Mariah sang live for the entire 1 hour and a half. Maybe her voice is more suitable to a warm climate. On her outfits, she only wore pink t-shirt and blue jeans throughout the show due to the protests made by certain Islamic extremists on her sexy and revealing outfits on stage. So I was very glad that Mariah didn't cancel her show and yet she obliged the dress code. On the next day after the concert, Mariah was commended by all the local press and medias for being a true professional. This really shows that Mariah is in fact a humble person and full of respect towards other religions, cultures. (Saturday 2 August 2014; 4:16)

Maybe the new era is 2015 (45,391) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia With the disappointment of the sales, and the disappearance of Mariah after the release of the album, maybe, just maybe, we all should just learn the art of letting go and move on. I hope Mariah would pull her act together, take this opportunity to get her rest, vocal rest, to prepare for her new era in 2015. Mariah could release her new single "Save the Day" or another new song in January 2015. Just my two cents. (Monday 14 July 2014; 16:01)

YDKWTD lyrics (45,255) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia If you watch the first episode of American Idol (the one where Mariah wore her pink dress) Mariah did quote that lyrics "You love me more than you love sunny summer days". That episode was recorded somewhere in September 2012. Just a little trivia. (Monday 7 July 2014; 15:58)

New single (44,954) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia This new single YDKWTD should't be wasted like other singles. Mariah and her team need to go all out in promoting this single. Release the video, visit all tv shows and perform. She should wear jeans again in the course of promoting the single. Reason why, wearing jeans would make her look young and this would attract the young crowd. This single needs to be her 19th No 1. (Saturday 21 June 2014; 6:12)
