New remix (114,430) by Carlos from Brazil The album version is ecxactly like Cherrele's original song "Didn't Mean To Turn You On" back in 1984 so I guess Mariah wanted the same feeling. (Friday 21 August 2026; 15:49) this is a reply to message 114,425

New remix (114,425) by Terna from Nigeria I always felt like the album version on "Glitter" was quite "noisy" to put it nicely - overproduced, someone at the studio went overboard with the 80's production. Haha. I am pleasantly surprised with this one. The whole song is breathing and Mariah isn't buried under layers of 80's glitter. Lol. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the whole re-release in October.

Glitter (114,429) by Max from Germany But for the record: It's not an 25th anniversary edition - it's just an deluxe edition. (Friday 21 August 2026; 05:00)

New remix (114,428) by Bobby A from United States I am excited and disappointed at the same time. Why is there not a plan this time to release all 15 additional tracks and the original album on a 3CD set? I just think this time a physical anniversary CD demand exists amongst the Lambs.

New remix (114,420) by Bill from the UK The new remix is fab and according to the Deluxe placeholder on Amazon Music, we're getting 15 extra tracks including the new remix. I assume another two will be Out Here On My Own and Firecracker, but I will absolutely die if the Prince duet that was shelved has been cleared for release. Daydream and Glitter both getting this love in one year is incredible. Please Mariah don't forget about your stellar debut and the beautiful Emotions albums. (Thursday 20 August 2026; 14:28)

New remix (114,427) by Tevin from USA No Bill. She's done and given us enough. I'm joking of course. Lol. Mariah please open the vault and give us everything. (Thursday 20 August 2026; 21:40) this is a reply to message 114,420

New remix (114,426) by Jamie from UK Just looked at the physical cd on her store and it's only the original album. Or do we think that will change once the extra tracks are released? (Thursday 20 August 2026; 21:21) this is a reply to message 114,420

[Glitter] with mistakes (114,424) by nancy from Switzerland The [didn't mean to turn you on] remix is a bit better. I don't like the loud guitar in the OG one. I saw Mariah's staff did a mistake. In the LP commercial they wrote: signed signed lithograph. I think Mariah is not very happy about this mistake. It's her image, her legacy. It's ok and positive to celebrate an anniversary after another. Later on the lethargic non live [Christmas] shows follow. A strategy to earn money without doing nothing. No new material. I am sure not everyone likes this post. I am sorry Lambs. But I have to say it. (Thursday 20 August 2026; 18:38)

New remix (114,423) by Lighty from China I'd assume Never Too Far / Nero will also take a spot on the 15-track disc 2. (Thursday 20 August 2026; 17:41) this is a reply to message 114,420

Article: Mariah Carey drops "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" remix (114,421) by Lainsky from Philippines I like it, however, I still prefer the OG in the album. I'm looking forward to seeing and listening to the other 15 tracks. I hope there are new, never-heard songs on this soundtrack album. (Thursday 20 August 2026; 15:08)

New remix (114,418) by Jamie from UK I'm loving this new laid back remix of [Didn't mean to turn you on]. According to the web it contains new vocals from Mariah, is this correct? (Thursday 20 August 2026; 11:39)

Article: Mariah's daughter raises fear among fans with cryptic tribute (114,417) by nancy from Switzerland I don't think that this is something to be worried about. I think Monroe wanted to tell the world that both are perfectly imperfect angels. It is great to see how she supports her mom. I think MC is a super mother. MC transformed the negativity of her own childhood into something special and precious. MC really needed someone to guide and support her. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 20:59)

Glitter (114,416) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes. The "dah dah dah dahs” are so typical Mariah. That's why I love it too. Glitter is a fantastic album. The time [was] just wrong for it. I loved Glitter back then and I still do. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 15:30) this is a reply to message 114,415

Glitter (114,415) by Bill from the UK I love the “dah dah dah dahs” that bookend the Firecracker version. Sheer brilliance. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 10:36)

Glitter (114,411) by Edward from USA I agree, the "Firecracker" sample is barely noticeable on Jlo's song. Had Mariah stuck with it, "Loverboy" would've hit number one. I know we've gotten used to the Cameo version, but the Firecracker version is much more bouncy, poppy, and infectious. The Cameo version feels too busy, with so much going on, and on top of that, Mariah had to redo her vocals, which didn't come out as clean as they did on the Firecracker version. (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 17:16)

Glitter (114,414) by Lainsky from Philippines I couldn't agree more. I've listened to Loverboy with the Firecracker sample more since it was released on The Rarities. I wonder how the remix would sound if this were the actual single for Glitter. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 04:52) this is a reply to message 114,411

Glitter (114,413) by Randy from USA It grew on me. I didn't like it when I first heard it. The uptempos I felt were boring. But now I love the Candy sample on Loverboy. All of the synths on Want You and Didn't Mean To Turn You On are interesting. Mariah's straining, cracking, vocal on All My Life's verses is good. And she kills the bridge on Funkin 4 Jamaica, although Mystikal take's too long to get to it. But tbh JLo's I'm Real Remix, minus her use of the N word, is way better to me than If We. It's like they improved on the idea. I do not like the Firecracker sample on either song frfr. The original I'm Real is only good on the hook where the Firecracker sample isn't used. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life drones on. I love Mariah's whisper voice most times but on this song it puts you to sleep. I love Fabolous verse but Busta is an afterthought on that song, almost a premonition of Wale on YDKWTD. Glitter's strongest assets are the ballads. I don't even need to speak on Lead The Way. I still miss Walter A because of just that song. Reflections and Twister are in the same vein as Outside, Close My Eyes and Petals which are some of my favorite songs of hers. Never Too Far's intro reminds me of MCs lush, dramatic intros like Vision of Love, Can't Take That Away, Can't Let Go and There For Me. Those intros let you know something serious is getting ready to go down. So overall I like the album a lot now. But for a mix of quality uptempos and great ballads, to me, Butterfly and Memoirs are stronger albums. (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 22:49)

Top 100 most difficult songs to sing - Spotify (114,412) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm glad MC got the recognition she deserves for Emotions. The fact that she lost that 1991 Grammy for female performance was the first robbery the Grammy's unfortunately has granted Mariah over the decades. I'm glad she got these entries. Bliss should have been on here but sadly it obviously wasn't a single. 1) Emotions 35) Forever 42) My All 47) Vision of Love 92) When you Believe with Whitney (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 20:05)

Glitter (114,406) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I really enjoy when you give us a backstory about MC's catalogue. I still don't understand why MC just didn't keep the Firecracker sample for Loverboy. She could have created a chart battle with J Lo with a in your face moment for Tommy. The Firecracker sample is barely recognizable in I'm Real. Also, what made MC choose Cameo's Candy as an alternate choice? I think a Bar-Kays sample would have been a better choice and would have caused Loverboy to have shot straight to number #1 without a discount. (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 01:44)

Glitter (114,410) by Zachariah from Croatia I've been loving and supporting Glitter since day one. And after Butterfly, it's without a doubt the most-played Mariah album in my household. It never gets old - I still enjoy every song as much as I did back then. I've always believed this album deserved so much more love. Loverboy in MJ Cole remix was number one that summer in Croatia and we blasted it on the beach every day. (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 12:30)

Glitter (114,404) by Bill from the UK The Firecracker sample was used on J.Lo's I'm Real remix which also featured Ja Rule, so it was like a combination of both. Ja Rule even said Tommy heard If We and was so impressed by how good it was that he got Ja Rule on J.Lo's remix immediately and asked him to do a similar sort of thing. Consequently two of the best tracks on Glitter were done for. Loverboy had to be re-recorded and re-sang as we know, and any plans to release If We as a single later had to be shelved.

Glitter 25th anniversary (114,407) by Lainsky from Philippines Glitter has grown on me over the past 25 years to the point that it has become second only to Butterfly as my best and favorite Mariah album of all time. I hope Lead The Way gets the attention it deserves, as well as Out Here On My Own, one of her best cover songs. Looking forward to whatever explosive surprise Mariah has for the lambs in this anniversary release. (Tuesday 18 August 2026; 03:54)
