The best songs (40,465) by Arthur from Spain Mariah Carey: I don't wanna cry Emotions: Till the end of time MTV: I'll be there Music Box: Now that I know Merry Christmas: Miss you most (at Christmas time) Daydream: Looking in Butterfly: The beautiful ones #1's: Sweetheart Rainbow: Bliss Glitter: Lead The Way Charmbracelet: Clown The Remixes: Miss you TEOM: To the floor E=MC2: Bye bye MOAIA: Obsessed MCIIY: The first Noel/Born is the king TAOLG: Almost home Non LP: There for me, Everything fades away, Slipping away (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 18:53)

Favorite Mariah album artwork (40,464) by OGmattyICE from US Mine would be first the Fantasy single artwork, then a close second would be the Vision Of Love single artwork. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 17:24)

Long Ago (40,463) by B from USA I love this song. Daydream was the first album I owned. I love every song and remix. The same with Butterfly. MC's best work, ever! (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 16:33)

When I Saw You (40,461) by David from Australia Lazy vocals? Each to their own, but I find it amazing how she hardly takes a breath in the chorus and just sings line after line so effortlessly with barely a pause. Skill like that is what makes the song so amazing. Also, the way she drags out the "knew" at the end of the second verse and belts out the "know" at the end of the bridge before the final chorus; then she dives straight into that chorus and once again hardly takes a breath. Unmatchable. Some of her best vocal work ever right there. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 16:09)

LP picks (40,460) by Gerome from Canada Mariah Carey: Vision Of Love Emotions: Make it happen MTV: Can't Let Go Music Box: Hero Merry Christmas: Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child Daydream: I Am Free Butterfly: Whenever You Call #1's: When You Believe Rainbow: Against All Odds Glitter: Lead The Way Charmbracelet: My Saving Grace The Remixes: AIWFCIY So So Def TEOM: Fly Like A Bird E=MC2: I Wish You Well MOAIA: I Want To Know What Love Is MCIIY: One Child TAOLG: Almost Home Non LP: There For Me (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 15:39)

Daydream album (40,459) by RadChad from United States Meltway, Long Ago, and Daydream Interlude are actually my go to songs on the album. It's funny how different our taste are. I couldn't imagine Daydream without those tracks, I think Slipping Away would've been a perfect addition after ABMB. Even though I can see how someone could think "When I Saw You" is boring (I thought the same upon first listen), I still love the song and the lazy vocals. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 14:53)

Fav song per album (40,458) by Gloria from Hong Kong I like this game very much! It encourages me to listen my favourite Mariah's songs all over again until I can actuall pick one. I've noticed that some of you choose After Tonight from Rainbow, it's a real shock to me as I thought this track was a downgraded version of My All. Mariah Carey: There's Got To Be A Way, Someday Emotions: Make It Happen Music Box: Music Box, Without You Merry Christmas: All I Want for Christmas Is You, O Holy Night Daydream: Fantasy Butterfly: The Roof, Butterfly (never get bored playing this album on my iPod) #1's: I Still Believe Rainbow: Against All Odds, Heartbreaker Remix Glitter: Never Too Far, Reflections (Care Enough) Charmbracelet: Bringin' On The Heartbreak TEOM: We Belong Together, Fly Like A Bird E=MC2: Bye Bye MOAIA: Betcha Gon' Know, Standing O MCIIY: When Christmas Comes Remix: Fantasy (Bad Boy remix) B-side: Slipping Away, There For Me (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 14:13)

Songs (40,457) by David from Spain Mariah Carey: Love takes time Emotions: Make it happen MTV: I'll be there Music Box: All I've ever wanted Merry Christmas: Jesus, oh what a wonderful child Daydream: One sweet day Butterfly: Whenever you call #1's: When you believe Rainbow: After tonight Glitter: Lead the way Charmbracelet: The one TEOM: We belong together E=MC2: Thanx 4 nothin' MOAIA: Betcha gon' know MCIIY: Oh Santa (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 12:48)

Another game (40,456) by Alex from England Does anyone remember which whistle note they heard the first time when they fell in love with Mariah? I mean, I'm sure we all experienced that crazy goosebumps moment when we first heard it or actually comprehended that it was her. As for me, I do recall buying all her albums in 1997 after falling in love with "Butterfly" and it took me like 1 month to realize it was her doing those notes. I kept thinking "Why would she use that same computer gimmick on each album?" Hahaha. Boy was I amazingly shocked when I saw her do the high notes while watching the MTV Unplugged videocassette. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 4:18)

Stacey, oh no you didn't? (40,455) by Edward from USA Dear Stacey, I said that there was not waste on Daydream. I would only leave "Long Ago" and "Daydream Interlude" out should I be forced to with not option. The webmaster almost banned me from the website, and now you put the last nail on my coffin. I consider Daydream and Butterfly her best albums to date. It is so sad that Billboard doesn't allow remixes the way it used to be in the 90's. Now if it a remix sounds distinctively different from the original, it is considered a different song. Because of that now Mariah can't be as creative with her remixes. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 2:54)

Hey there (40,454) by Isaac from USA I have been a Mariah Carey since I first saw the video of "It's like that". I was so intrigued with her beautiful voice. And to this day she is my all time favorite music artist. I just think Mariah is awesome. She writes her songs and I respect and give her credit for that. Her songs are truly amazing. I also would like to state that her debut album is probably the best debut album out of any music artist that ever lived. I am really glad and excited that Mariah is releasing an album. Because it's been awhile. Though I understand that she was doing American Idol and dealing with her children. But I am ready. I wasn't impressed with her last album. It just wasn't good, and not Mariah Carey. But I have a feeling this new one will be great. The song "Beautiful" is amazing. And proves that Mariah definitely still has it. And can sing. She will always be number one to me. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 22:39)

Favorite song per album (40,453) by redsimba from USA Thought I'd join in too. Mariah Carey: Vision of Love/Vanishing Emotions: Can't Let Go Music Box: Anytime You Need a Friend Merry Christmas: All I Want for Christmas Is You Daydream: Always Be My Baby Butterfly: Honey/Butterfly/Breakdown (too hard to choose) Rainbow: Bliss Glitter: Didn't Mean to Turn You On Charmbracelet: Miss You/ Yours The Remixes: Always Be My Baby (Mr. Dupri Mix) Emancipation of Mimi: Fly Like a Bird E=MC2: For the Record/I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time Memoirs of an imperfect Angel: H.A.T.E.U./It's a Wrap Merry Christmas II You: Oh Santa! B-sides: 1. Everything Fades Away 2. Slipping Away 3. There For Me (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 22:38)

Got a thing 4 u (40,452) by Tony from Ireland I do love Long Ago, it is just stunning. I agree that it is a bit cheesy but, I like everything about Glitter, and still loving it. There's another Mariah collaboration that I really enjoy every time: Da Brat's "Got a thing 4 for u", she sounds so sexy on it. Even "Did I do that" from Rainbow has a special place for me. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 21:40)

Random (40,451) by clueey23 from USA I wouldn't mind a "MC & Friends" album, with songs like "It's A Wrap" with Mary J. Blige and "Yours" with Justin Timberlake amongst other songs that are duets that haven't seen the light of day. With a couple of new duets. That would make my year! But this new album is about to make my year in a way because when MC doesn't have anything out there's a huge void in music. IMO. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 21:02)

Favourite songs from each album (40,450) by Musti from UK My top 2 track from each album: Mariah Carey - Vanishing/Alone in Love Emotions - The Wind/Can't Let Go Music Box - Anytime You Need a Friend/Never Forget You Merry Christmas - Silent Night/Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child Daydream - Looking In/Melt Away Butterfly - Breakdown/Honey #1's - Sweetheart/Do You Know Where You're Going to Rainbow - Heartbreaker (Remix)/Bliss Glitter - Twister/All My Life Charmbracelet - You Got Me/Lullaby TEOM - Fly Like a Bird/Don't Forget About Us E=MC2 - Last Kiss/Touch My Body Memoirs - Candy Bling/Inseparable MCIIY - When Christmas Come/O Come All Ye Faithful (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 20:41)

When I Saw You (40,449) by Musti from UK I never really liked that song lol find it quite boring actually. I could definitely see it cut out of the album, though I'm not sure Slipping Away is polished enough to be included the album. I recall Mariah mentioning a song allegedly called Crave that she wrote for Daydream which was left out of the album for being too sexy. She later named her first record label Crave. But I would love to hear the song Crave as it's probably one of Mariah's first attempts at a sexy jam before writing songs like Babydoll and Bliss. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 20:27)

Edward, are you nuts? Haha (40,448) by Stacey from USA Being a huge fan of Daydream, my all-time favorite MC album, how could you leave out Daydream Interlude? MC is known for her amazing remixes. I remember hearing ABMB with Da Brat and Xscape for the first time. It was amazing, almost as good as the album version. I said, almost, lol. It's all good. Honestly, the two songs I skip the most are Long Ago and Melt Away. But, truthfully the entire album is just masterful. That is when MC was at her best. That album showcases her amazing talent. There was and is still something for everyone on that album. Daydream is sheer perfection, IMO. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 19:50)

Everything Fades Away (40,447) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia This is my face (to the right) when people say they don't care for this song. I mean really, is that even possible to not absolutely adore the magical vocals and one of a kind arrangement of this masterpiece? (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 19:31)

More importantly (40,446) by Blake from USA Instead of leaving tracks off of amazing albums, I can't help but wonder what "Butterfly" would have been had it been completed as in the eyes of Walter A. Rainbow was the first album I disliked a track: "Did I do that?" Charmbracelet: "Boy I need you". Glitter: "Loverboy". (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 19:17)

Webmaster, oh no you didn't, lol (40,445) by Edward from USA Eric, I honestly wouldn't change anything from Daydream. I am curious to know which two tracks you would leave out of Daydream should you be forced to. It is weird how Daydream and Music Box with only 10 and 12 tracks were so powerful. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 17:16)

Favorite songs per album (40,444) by MCfanATL from USA I was always find things like this fun to do, so here goes (and I agree, it's hard to pick just one): Mariah Carey: Vanishing, All In Your Mind Emotions: Can't Let Go (love this video, too) MTV Unplugged: Someday (love this live version) Music Box: Music Box, All I've Ever Wanted Merry Christmas: AIWFCIY, Miss You Most (such a great song) Daydream: Fantasy, When I Saw You, Daydream Interlude (brillant and pioneering) Butterfly: Butterfly, The Beautiful Ones #1's: When You Believe Rainbow: After Tonight, Bliss Glitter: Loverboy, All My Life (Btw, I've heard a lot of chatter on this messageboard about this album. Quite frankly this album was brillant, and musically progressive. Nowadays everyone is using 80's beats, samples, and synthesizers. MC ushered that into the 21st century, folks.) Charmbraclet: The One, I Only Wanted TEOM: Shake It Off, Circles, Get Your Number E=MC2: Touch My Body, For The Record (one of my favs) MOAIA: H.A.T.E.U, More Than Just Friends (a lot can be said about this album, but it's a consistent listen) MCIIY: Oh Santa, The First Noel/Born Is The King Non-album singles: Do You Think Of Me (I adore this one) Everything Fades Away (should've been on the album) Endless Love (two of the greatest voices together) Do You Know Where You're Going To Help Me Make It Through The Night (country Mariah) (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 17:11)

Long ago (40,443) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Edward, you silly boy. Daydream without "Long ago" is like café au lait without milk. Have you ever listened to this song with your headphones on? (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 16:52)

When I saw you (40,442) by Edward from USA Those of you implying that Daydream could've been fine without "When I Saw You" should be put in jail, lol. There is no waste in Daydream, but if I were forced to leave two tracks out, they would be "Long Ago" and "Daydream Interlude". Whoever suggested "Open Arms" should be crucified, lol. Daydream though not as vocally powerful as Music Box is more soulful. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 16:34)

Re: Will and Ashley (40,441) by Ryan from the Philippines Will, "There For Me" was a good song but IMO it was an overly generic Mariah ballad. TAOLG's overall production can even beat that of TFM's, but to exclude the lyrics lol. Ashley, yes I thought about "When Christmas Comes" too, but as you can see with my selection all the tracks vary from different things and the firsts of all the succeeding similar songs she released in her entire catalogue. WCC to me is like a Christmas version of "I Don't Wanna Cry" and "Mine Again". And "Christmas Time Is In The Air Again" was something new to my ear. It has this theatrical/animated film OST feel. (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 16:24)

Loverboy vs Triumphant (40,440) by Blake from USA I do not like either of these singles. I think Loverboy was cheesy and using Cameo on the track did not help. The video was terrible too. The track is just not good to me. Triumphant could have been a hit had it had a pop release with a radio mix that resembled the vintage throwback, even though she needed to write another verse for it. I hope the original version doesn't make the cut for the new album. The message is awesome especially because it's written for Nick and his health issues sometime back but it could be her worst single ever in my book. Loverboy is a close second for worst singles. What do you think of these two singles? (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 16:15)
