MC's best bridge (114,093)
by Jamie from UK

Everything I do is for you
And you are every part of me
And I don't want to face
Another day
Alone
Without your love

MC's best bridge (114,097)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|
|
Maybe not the "best" bridge but a bridge I really love is "For the Record". Uniquely using her discography to describe her feelings.
For the record
You'll "Always be a part of me" no matter what you do
For the record
Can nobody say I didn't give "my all" to you
For the record
I told you "underneath the stars" that you "belong" to me
For the record
It's obvious that we just "can't let go" of us "honeyyyy".

MC's best bridge (114,096)
by John from USA
| |
|
|
Beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
And I was gently fading into you
But the time went sailing by
Reluctantly we said goodbye
And we left our secret place so far behind
And I lay in bed all night and I was

I have to say Crybaby has to be MC's best written bridge ever. What do you think? I know there are four other MC songs that would land in the top 5 of her best bridge section ever.

MC’s best bridge (114,094)
by Lambi from USA

I love this rare stripped down gem of a bridge:
Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering
Pure poetry, happy 4th Lambily.

You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
(Over and over and over and over)
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Paint pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine
Baby I...

Wholeheartedly agree, Mariah sampled My Boo by Ghost Town DJs on the HATEU remix way earlier. It seriously irked me when the song had a revival in 2016 on TikTok. Like hello, MC's sample genius already tried to reintroduce it to new audiences 7 years ago.

You know it was zero percent. Lol. I blame MC for saying that she had 10 songs in 2024 and it was 2 years later when HFIA was released. I truly feel MC17 is coming in 2027. I just do.

What if MC releases next year her best first single since Honey? Her vocals on the song have that buttery tone with the vocal layering and adlibs that she has been known for. This is what I foresee in the future. MC wants to make her return to the top again. MC17 just may be the album that will get her that Robin Roberts' interview to promote the new album.

I think not only does she not jump on trends she somehow always does trends years if not decades before it becomes viral and doesn't get enough praise for it when she does it because people don't get it at that point. Like the whole retro/funk/post-disco vibe of Glitter, the reggae/island music vibes of Cruise Control, the chipmunk/sped up sound like You Got Me, heck even rapping on Prisoner and doing the rap-sing on several TEOM songs just to name a few. I'm not even getting into her resung remixes and infusing pop-hip hop because she does somewhat get credit for it.

Hard to discount them. JD and BMC both worked on Made For Me by Muni Long in 2023, and it was an absolute smash hit wonder.
Their last effort with Mariah was I Don’t, which was pretty okay. Great use of the sample, but ultimately felt more like a remix of Donnell Jones' Where I Wanna Be.
Still a solid stellar musical choice though, at least they have another data point for what doesn't work. Mariah had hit the ball pretty hard music-wise on Caution, then hit it even harder marketing-wise with HFIA.
It feels like she's about to spike it harder than ever on this next one. She's aware of the psychological terror they deliberately put her through, and she's fighting tooth and nail to make sure they don't win.

Thank you Edward. I've been saying it for years now. The boring RnB is not the way to go, and hasn't been for ages. Sadly I think she will go for the same formula again. It's actually better to make an instrumental album if she doesn't have those nodules removed. Her 2025 voice was just painful to listen to.
What happened to her alternative grunge album?

Mariah was more or less forced by Tommy and her label into pop music. Because they wanted the music to sound more white. She was always attached to Rnb. Doing the remixes she was a bit more free in her artistry. Eg. [Anytime you need a friend] remix, [Always be my baby] ( with Jdand Xscape ) etc. There she implemented gospel and soul and even dance. She wanted the songs to sound more Rnb. After her divorce from Tommy she could finally do what she really wanted. Butterfly was her Rnb influenced start. Many fans which liked pop and ballads better, were not so happy about it. She was pretty successful with Rnb too. In my humble opinion: I think she has to stick with what she likes. We have already more than enough pop singers in the business. What I like about Mariah is, that she doesn't hop on every trend and that makes her authentic. Many stars change genres to stay relevant. Eg Madonna, JLo etc.

MC sells more streams with her R&B songs than her early 90s pop songs. Plus, she is signed to a R&B record label. As far as her voice, MC's vocals improved significantly on TEOM, E=MC2, and Caution.

I think that's more a matter of taste than a fact. Plenty of people enjoy R&B, and it's still a hugely successful genre. If that's the direction she wants to explore, it doesn't automatically make the music boring. Calling R&B "not the way to go" is subjective. What's boring to one person is atmospheric or emotionally nuanced to someone else. I'd rather judge the songs than the genre. If her vocal issues are affecting her performances, that's a separate discussion from whether she should stop making R&B. Artists adapt their sound all the time, and a quieter style isn't inherently a bad thing.

They told Mariah she would likely lose the whistle register, not her singing voice completely. I've even seen some voice experts say that the nodules themselves don't create the whistle register, they may have just made it easier for her to access it, that she would only have to find it again after surgery.
I totally understand why she didn't want to have surgery back then. Her voice was still incredible, and I can see why she wouldn't want to risk changing something that was working. But now? Even the whistle register doesn't sound pleasing to the ear, so what's really the point? Personally, I'd rather hear her regular singing voice restored to a decent level than keep holding on to a pony that isn't really doing that one trick anymore.
Even though you didn't mention it, a lot of fans like to bring up Julie Andrews as a reason Mariah was right not to have her nodules removed. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Julie's voice was damaged because of complications during surgery that wasn't intended to treat vocal nodules or improve a singer's voice. Mariah would've been having a specialized microsurgery specifically designed to remove vocal nodules while preserving vocal function. They're two completely different situations. With today's technology and experienced laryngeal surgeons, that procedure has a very good success rate. Singers like Adele and many others have had vocal fold surgery and returned to performing at a very high level.
And let's be real, she's 57. That ship may have already sailed, but I still think she has one last chance to go out with a banger. Give us an amazing album with killer vocals, even if they have to be tweaked in the studio. I really don't care at this point.
Whatever she's cooking up in the studio, I just hope it's not another old tired safe R&B album. If there was ever a time to surprise everyone and do something completely unexpected, it's now. R&B is clearly not the hit making machine it was in the '90s and 2000s, and I don't think she's fully accepted that yet.
And please, don't make us wait another seven years. By then we'll all be comparing our cholesterol medication, and Mariah would be talking in her albums.

Even though you didn't mention it, a lot of fans like to bring up Julie Andrews as a reason Mariah was right not to have her nodules removed. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Julie's voice was damaged because of complications during surgery that wasn't intended to treat vocal nodules or improve a singer's voice. Mariah would've been having a specialized microsurgery specifically designed to remove vocal nodules while preserving vocal function. They're two completely different situations. With today's technology and experienced laryngeal surgeons, that procedure has a very good success rate. Singers like Adele and many others have had vocal fold surgery and returned to performing at a very high level.
And let's be real, she's 57. That ship may have already sailed, but I still think she has one last chance to go out with a banger. Give us an amazing album with killer vocals, even if they have to be tweaked in the studio. I really don't care at this point.
Whatever she's cooking up in the studio, I just hope it's not another old tired safe R&B album. If there was ever a time to surprise everyone and do something completely unexpected, it's now. R&B is clearly not the hit making machine it was in the '90s and 2000s, and I don't think she's fully accepted that yet.
And please, don't make us wait another seven years. By then we'll all be comparing our cholesterol medication, and Mariah would be talking in her albums.
