Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,007) (96,010) by Shezz from Pk This is just for the newly heard songs and not counting DYTOM, EFA, and SA that I’ve loved for decades (but are getting less love now): 1. Out here on my own 2. Loverboy (Firecracker) 3. Cool on you 4. Can you hear me 5. Here we go around again / Mesmerized (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 19:33)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,000) (96,009) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 5. One Night (would have stuck out but also have been an interesting inclusion in Daydream) 4. Loverboy (just insanely fun and bouncy) 3. All I Live For (very Toni Braxton debut album vibes) 2. Cool On You (really cool and smooth) 1. Mesmerized (opulent-sounding) This album is quite well-balanced especially in terms of the tempo of the songs. I guess it's safe to assume that we would have at least a second installment of rarities, but this is such a strong set that it would be quite difficult to top to be honest.

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,003) (96,008) by T from USA For them it's about reaching all the demographics leading to what they believe will result in greater sales. But ya it sort of kills momentum. It did for EMC2. (Although the opposite is true for TEOM, Daydream and Musicbox. Her biggest selling albums.) (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 18:54)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,005) (96,007) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really love this album. Finding it very hard to narrow to 5 songs, particularly since I still love several rare tracks we already had as B sides. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 16:58)

Re: Stream stream steam The Rarities (95,999) (96,006) by Bobby A from United States Well it looks like my prediction was way off in left field again Andrew. The true analysts are saying 15,000-21,000 at #19 on the Billboard 200. I predicted 160,000 units sold. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 16:10)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,003) (96,005) by Myles from CT, USA 1. Cool On You 2. All I Live For 3. One Night 4. Can You Hear Me 5. Loverboy (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 15:35)

Damizza (96,004) by Dennis from Miami, FL I'm reading now books by Tommy's and Damizza. Damizza's recount seems to be quite different from Mariah's memoirs. Tommy's book is quite close to her story though from a different perspective. Mizza is not in the MOMC as well and at least half of his book is about Mariah. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 14:59)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,001) (96,003) by Andrew from the United Kingdom 1. Firelover Crackerboy 2. One Night 3. Out Here On My Own 4. Cool On You 5. Mesmerized I never understood labels' obsession with an upbeat track followed by ballad. Ruins momentum I think. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 13:45)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,001) (96,002) by Bobby A from United States My top fave five are: 1. Cool On You 2. All I Live For 3. One Night 4. Out Here On My Own 5. Mesmerized (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 13:24)

Re: Fave five The Rarities songs (96,000) (96,001) by Bill from the UK Yay a list. My top 5, currently, are: 1. Loverboy Firecracker Version 2. Out Here On My Own 3. Mesmerized 4. Here We Go Around Again 5. Can You Hear Me (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 10:01)

Fave five The Rarities songs (96,000) by Lainsky from Philippines In the 90's, the artist normally releases 4-6 singles from an album depending on the record label too. On that note, what are your five favorites from this MC30 rare collection? Here are my fave five singles I wish the world would hear and listen to. 1. Out Here On My Own (still, can't get over) 2. Mesmerized (the title do its job) 3. Cool On You (infectious - do the coat, kick rocks, eat dirt) 4. Can You Hear Me (soulful Mariah) 5. Here We Go Around Again (old classic vibe you'll never get tired of listening) If there will be B-side, that would be I Pray. For the fifth day in a row, this album is on repeat for at least 4-5x with volume almost in full lol. The neighbors definitely can hear it. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 05:33)

Stream stream steam The Rarities (95,999) by T from USA Let's all stream The Rarities a lot more. She can't loose the first week to a Dolly Christmas album in October. Let's grab her the #18 spot. (Possibly even #17.) (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 04:24)

Re: All I Live For (95,995) (95,998) by Aliya from Canada Totally agree. All I Live For is the absolute best. I live for it, lol. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 03:45)

Re: Guardian interview, reading between the lines (95,994) (95,997) by Slipping Butterfly from United States So you skipped over her calling him family or how she liked him 14 years ago in the book. Her relationship is current, the book is about her past. They have lived together for 3 years and people still question their relationship because she doesn't talk about their relationship. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 03:22)

Re: All I Live For (95,995) (95,996) by Stacey from USA Same. I loved it instantly. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 00:45)

All I Live For (95,995) by T from USA The Rarities is a great collection and All I Live For is absolutely the best. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 00:16)

Guardian interview, reading between the lines (95,994) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa So in the interview, Mariah said "If it was a relationship that mattered, it's in the book. If not, it didn't occur." This has me thinking of Tanaka. From the beginning of their "relationship" I figured it was just for show, not really a relationship. She mentioned him in the acknowledgements of the book in a "good friend" kinda way, but nothing else. She chooses her words wisely and I think the statement above is applicable, it didn't occur. Whatever their professional arrangement is, his energy is so positive and it seems to be working for them. P.S. Counting on one hand: TM, DJ, LM, NC... (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 21:32)

Re: The Meaning of Mariah Carey (95,952) (95,993) by MusicfanJ from Germany I started to read the memoir too. The "wayward child" chapter is quite soul-stirring. I was thinking the whole evening about some things. To listen to "Petals" will be hard the next time. But I'm excited to read more. I like that the songs are included with explainings. Very interesting. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 13:59)

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,990) (95,992) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I think she dodged a bullet there, he's in the news in Australia at the moment for his involvement/knowledge of money laundering and criminal activity at his Australian casinos. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 09:58)

Re: The Guardian interview (95,983) (95,991) by Lady B from USA It was so funny - she really seems relaxed and happy these days. It fills my heart as a fan. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 05:22)

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,986) (95,990) by enwar00 from usa I promise I'm not making this up as part of this conversation and to play off what Mariah said, but I'd forgotten all about James Packer until reading his name today. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 02:42)

The Rarities Japan (95,989) by Bobby A from United States It came today. Wow. It was shipped from Japan last Thursday and I received it on Monday. That is fastest time that I have ever received my CD shipped from Japan. The packaging is just beautiful. It comes in a box holding the 2-disc set and a separate case for the Blu-ray concert disc. The only negative thing is that the Blu-ray case doesn't have a cover or credits for the concert production. The concert picture is beautiful and sound is too. An added bonus is a small The Rarities postcard. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 00:41)

Re: Discography (95,987) (95,988) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I have a huge collection and people from all over the world send me the info. (Monday 5 October 2020; 22:30)

Discography (95,987) by Orry from Germany Hi there, I hope you're doing pretty well? I know your homepage already more then a decade and I am thankful for it. Especially I love the detailed info about MC's discography. I know that you stopped doing it. That's a huge pity. Can you tell me where you have gotten all these information from? I would like to make it for the last records to complete my collection. Many thanks in advance and have a good day. Much love. (Monday 5 October 2020; 21:24)

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,984) (95,986) by Malcolm from Asia Yes very glad this happened. Especially her not mentioning James Packer when it would have been a pivotal moment in her life since they were engaged. It's just a testament that all of it was just a play and a result of her involvement with the wicked witch. It was really the darkest and cheapest moment in her career that deserves to be forgotten.
