Gliiter cd (114,708) by Rose from United States

I have it on CD. I wanted to get the hot pink vinyl because it's my favorite color but I missed out.

Gliiter cd (114,707) by Bobby A from United States

How many of you actually have Glitter on CD? Have you been listening to it this month? I have found another used copy today at a store which is a rare find. This stuff is starting now. Lol. What other Glitter celebrations will you doing during these last 12 days? I am going to watch Glitter next Saturday.

Glitter (114,706) by Lainsky from Philippines

It would be epic when this happens. It would be monumental if our favorite singles also debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, not to mention a No.1. Just dreaming lol.

Loverboy video in 4K (114,705) by Rose from United States

Actually, instead of a Christmas re-release, a Valentine's Day one.

Date night or Galentine's Date Night. I love how camp and cheesy it is and the songs are all top tier. If they update it like they did the video it would look so good on the big screen. Critics will most likely talk crap about it but who cares. Movies aren't making tons of money these days but I still think it would be a good idea. It would be a fun nostalgic moment. At the time of the original release the public was told Mariah wasn't cool anymore so a lot of people went along with that and didn't watch it so this would be the first time watching for a lot of people. The movie is cheesy but so are a lot of beloved movies. We shouldn't hold that against it. It just needs more full length songs in it. And yes it would make it longer but who cares? Titanic was three hours long. Some people are always going to have something to complain about and that's just part of life. But it would be a fun moment for a lot of people too.

Also, they should change the title of the movie back to All That Glitters (for the expanded musical version) and release a Barbie Billie Frank wearing the pink outfit with the knee high boots and it should come with a red bandana. And a Barbie car but make it the purple car she rides in the music video. And they could sell the best outfits (for the Mariah Barbie) she wears in the movie like they did with the Barbie movie outfits. What else? Do they have more footage they can maybe work with that they didn't use for the original movie? Someone good would have to splice it together. I'm thinking I'm in the wrong line of work. Ha ha.

Glitter (114,704) by Bobby A from United States

The remix was #11 on the U.S. iTunes chart this morning, but has since dropped to #21. I feel this is only the beginning of Glitter potentially making a re-entry on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in early November. We will see what happens. It would be cool if MC partners with Netflix or CBS to show Giitter on October 31st. Great things are on the way in two weeks.

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (114,703) by Rose from United States

I love this one. She looks so beautiful and happy and alive. I wish it was in better quality. I wish I had good editing skills because I would make a video like the Michael Jackson one Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough but with a mostly dark pink background.

Firecracker (114,702) by Rose from United States

I also think they should rework the Firecracker version and make it better. Her vocals sound better on that version but I think the music could be better. The sample is really cool. They could play that version during the closing credits of the Glitter theatrical re-release.

Loverboy video in 4K (114,701) by Rose from United States

It looks so good. Glitter needs a Christmas re-release and they should somehow add the Loverboy video to the movie and make it a musical. They should add all the music videos she made for the Glitter album to the movie. I wonder if there are any more we don't know about. Out Here On My Own? I know Never Too Far is already in it but they should all be in it. Total cult classic. Back then I was a goody two shoes and didn't love how naked she was but now that I'm older I appreciate how good her body looks in that era. She still looks good but there's nothing like being thirty, flirty, and thriving.

Glitter (114,700) by BFF from US

I think it's going to be very interesting, indeed. The "Firecracker" version of "Loverboy" on "The Rarities" sounded a bit like a demo to me, so I'm wondering if there was a more finalized version of it.

Recall that "All I Live For" from the "Music Box" sessions appeared in two different versions - one version on "The Rarities" and then an extended version on the 30th anniversary edition of "Music Box".

I also wonder about alternate versions of "Loverboy" completed before she had to completely change the sample. I really hope that the deluxe edition will have a good bit of unreleased material. And surely she will put out some remix EPs for "Loverboy", "Never Too Far", "Never Too Far/Hero, ,"Don't Stop", and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" on streaming. All five of those songs were promoted with some combination of videos, airplay, commercial releases, and live performances.

Haha that would be so funny, her freestyling slating Tommy and Jennifer over tune of Loverboy, I'd pay for that.

Glitter (114,698) by Bobby A from United States

I wish she would release the recording session of Loverboy singing on top of the Candy sample. I am sure she was not happy about having to rearrange the lyrics and melody again after the Firecracker sample.

Glitter (114,697) by Bobby A from United States

I feel the Gliiter anniversary tracklist is going to be very shocking to us. MC knows she has tracks on the anniversary album that are going to receive a lot of media and social media attention. I feel she will reveal the tracklist the way she revealed the release of HFIA and Type Dangerous through a series of cryptic social media videos beginning on October 26th. Thinking back on how she revealed The Rairties tracklist, MC released The Rarities tracklist on September 9th. That was 23 days before October 2nd. The reveal of the Gliiter tracklist is getting a special treatment.

Mariah is definitely up to something related to "Loverboy". She's giving the song special treatment - announcing the return of the "remix" to streaming, scheduling a premiere of the 4K music video to YouTube. It's interesting that she never put out a remix EP for "Loverboy" or any other single releases from "Glitter" during the #MC30 campaign. Maybe I will keep it streaming in Apple Music on repeat.

I still love the "Firecracker" version, but the "Candy" version is indelibly imprinted in my brain.

Since I am pretty sure that this Texas song was streamed by her team, I am begging for all you Americans to keep streaming Loverboy on repeat. Even on mute.

I hope she releases a remix of the original Firecracker sampled "Loverboy". That would be great. This remix is just an extended version, according to the article, but perhaps with additional vocals or something.

Glitter (114,691) by BFF from US

I hope we see the track listing soon, and I hope there are some completely unreleased songs on it. Mariah's been pretty quiet about the deluxe edition, and we're just over two weeks out from the release.

Glitter (114,690) by TJ from Norway

I was wondering about the same. I can't find anything online. Amazon and record stores where I live says it's just one cd. The vinyl on the other hand. I am a little annoyed that we didn't get the MSG concert on cd, let's hope the Glitter CD gets the extra treatment.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,688) by Belinda Vasquez from USA

When Mary J first came onto the scene, she was hood - and I mean hood. Using the n word in several interviews, showing up high from weed, even threatened to punch out an interviewer (no joke and not urban legend, you can google it), but even though this was troubling behavior, it made her seem like a relatable homegirl that was pissed at a lot of things that life was throwing at her, as she was indeed in an abusive relationship at the table and suicidal. But because she was so open and real about it publicly, it made her endearing and definitely down to earth and relatable. Her glow-up/maturity throughout the years is nothing short of amazing. Here is an example. Check out the 5:58 mark.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany

"Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth." That's true, fantastic singers and women. You're right Mary also seems very nice and relatable. I loved her duet with George Michael. This kind of music is missing nowadays. I know what you mean, when I say that I love Mariah's music the first comment is always, oh she's such a diva and so on. Every time. It's frustrating that this is always the first comment. Mariah had always a mystical aura, compared with her stunning voice and the divaness it really worked in the 90ies. She was also shy and confident, the mix was super sweet. But we all know there was a change with the image and it wasn't so good sadly. We fans know she's more than only a diva. But the public image is always about being a diva. Maybe with the grunge album Mariah could show them that there's more.

For me she'll always be the best (even with the voice changed) her music catalogue is insane. There will never be another Mariah.

I think Mary J Blige still today has a powerful voice. Her songs are meaningful, and deep. Often she sings about difficult situations in life, Self acceptance etc. She also had her struggles. Especially to women, she gives mental strength. In my opinion that makes her very likeable and relatable. You feel understood. What I like about her is, that on interviews she is very humble and down to earth sometimes even a bit shy. She also made a lot of duets with other artists. Not only rappers. She does not have that divaish, I am better than you aura, which Mariah often has (not always). Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth. Although they all are enormously rich and talented. Mariah sometimes does have this image that the world owes her something on a silver tablet. The voice of these women also are super. Currently (we must be realistic) is better than Mariah's voice. Sorry. When I talk about those artists, people understand why I am a fan of them. When I talk about Mariah the people show me an aversion for her.

I kind of agree, but Mariah is not like Mary J Blidge at all. Mary is just a cool rnb singer and was never more. Which is fine. She was never on the same level with Mariah (fame, records, artistry and of course the voice). Only Whitney and Celine had that kind of level, the voiced trinity. Mariah is a living legend, not only known for rnb but for pop history with one of the best voices ever. But her image has suffered, for all the reasons that were talked on this board. Mariah can also leave the "Christmas road" if she wants to. Doing a duets album, jazz, gospel or simply pop with soul elements. She just needs to be more relatable again, she's hiding so much and that's her good right and her choice. But the people love if an artist is more open like C�line was. Yes, she said she was not supposed to make "HFIA". But I don't understand why? Because of the age, the business for what reason? Anyone can explain it to me.

For me is clear that she doesn't care anymore to enlarge her fanbase or achieve good chart positions. She does not have the motivation, the stamina, the ideas and most of all the voice anymore and last but not least some health issues. I guess she wants to be like MJB and stick to RnB and want to be remembered for the old achievements. She sticks with what she knows and what worked in the past years. A little renewal with anniversary items of her former albums and Christmas and non resung remixes of her former songs. Nothing more. Nothing challenging. That obviously still gives her a good salary to survive her expensive lifestyle. In her album [Here for it] all in the thank you part is written you're not supposed to make this record and speaks about locked doors. I guess this is a clear statement. There are a lot of Rnb artists which stick to the old and same stuff. Brandy , Alicia Keys etc. I guess that we have to accept it. While Madonna builds bridges with new artists, Mariah stagnates and is happy with her still remaining fanbase, her staff who applaude her, even in bad performances .
