EP recap (94,913) by Bill from the UK Hi all. I'm going to bore you all to death with an EP Recap series, so brace yourself. I think only about 3 people will be interested in this, so skip over if not your thing. Missed remixes: Mariah Carey: Medley Suspected reason: not really a remix per se, and it was horrendously edited together. Emotions: Can't Let Go (Edit with Intro) Can't Let Go (Edit without Intro) Make It Happen (Extended Version Radio Edit)* Emotional Rescue Medley Suspected reason: no other remixes other than the radio edits were made for Can't Let Go (to my knowledge). The edit with the intro appeared on all single releases, the edit without the intro (begins at the "even though I try" keyboard after the opening chords, otherwise the same as the commercial version with the removed whistle note at the end) was only present on a promo 7" and a promo mastering CD, so may not have even been an official edit intended for release. Therefore, with no other remixes to accompany it's not really feasible to release an "EP" with one track lol. *This may have got missed as it was actually titled "Radio Edit" alongside the edit of the album version. This is however a shortened version of the Extended Version. Whoever was compiling the EP may have seen the same remix title in parenthesis and assumed them to be the same. Potential oversight? I am unsure whether the Emotional Rescue remix medley that appeared on some promo vinyls in the Emotions era is official or not, so may not have been included for that reason. Music Box: Hero (Spanish Version) Suspected reason: MC will include this on a future "B Sides" EP along with Can You Hear Me which I have to mention in every post. Daydream: Fantasy (Puffy's Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Dub) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Acapella) Open Arms (Spanish Version) Suspected reason: Open Arms, same reason for Hero's Spanish Version. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Puffy's Mix of Fantasy is identical to the Bad Boy with ODB remix, albeit an echo/some reverb is removed in the rap verse. Understandable. As for Always Be My Baby, I was wondering if the Reggae Soul mixes couldn't get clearance. They very obviously use an (uncredited?) sample from Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth, so maybe they could not be released for streaming/purchase for legalities. I can't see any other reason why they wouldn't have been included. I'll continue this when the best batch are released. I bet y'all can't wait. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 14:11)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,901) (94,912) by David from Australia I've been loving getting all these EP's available on streaming. It's so nice to have something to look forward to every Friday. I always wake up early to see what she's added to streaming services. I can't wait for my favourite era to start next Friday. I wonder what performances she might upload. I hope she includes the Meme remixes. They're amazing and so hard to find. Bill, I'm waiting for your Butterfly era remixes recap haha. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 10:56)

Re: Underneath the Stars - video (94,908) (94,911) by enwar00 from usa I honestly thought the video they shelved was just a performance video from the concert, like the one for Forever, and I guess Hero and Without You, so I honestly never really cared that much years later finding out it was shelved. But seeing the snippet isn't just a performance video definitely leaves me wanting more. I'm getting such a Butterfly video vibe from it. In my opinion, had this been released as a single with full promotion it really could have been a perfect bridge between the Daydream and Butterfly eras. To me the sound and especially vocal stylings foreshadowed the next album. I love MC30. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 07:43)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,910) by Tevin from USA Stacey I literally screamed at work when I saw the UTS clip on my work break. I think everyone thinks I'm crazy now at work lol. It was so worth it. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 04:15)

Re: Rumor (94,907) (94,909) by Bobby A from United States Well, MC owes us an album this year. She has been in the studio in her Tribeca apartment all year. Jermaine and Johnta were called in this month. She is about drop it like it is hot in September. Lol. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 03:12)

Underneath the Stars - video (94,908) by Billy from Greece This is monumental, I can't believe it. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 01:22)

Re: Rumor (94,903) (94,907) by Jamie from UK I once over heard a guy talking at a concert that apparently there is a [whole] albums worth of tracks from between Music Box and Daydream that [were] scrapped in favour of merry Christmas. Here's hoping. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 00:31)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,906) by Terna from Nigeria A visual from the "Daydream" era making it out for the first time in 2020, 25 years later in the Vevo/streaming era might just be what Mariah needs to tie that 20th Billboard number 1 Beatles record. This is so crazy in a very good mind boggling way. Like who is this woman? (Friday 14 August 2020; 23:11)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,905) by Bill from the UK I've just seen the UTS video clip and nearly died. It's real and Mariah has it. Wow. (Friday 14 August 2020; 22:47)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,901) (94,904) by Stacey from USA Daydream. Ok I just shouted that and no one heard me, lol. Did you see the UTS video preview? I got goosebumps watching it. I hope all these teasers are released in full one day. Just so dang talented this lady is. We can argue about this and that, whether Migrate should have been a single or not. But one thing is for sure, her talent is unmatched by any other. (Friday 14 August 2020; 21:19)

Rumor (94,903) by Myles from CT, USA Someone on twitter said they heard a rumor that the big announcement is an album coming out of all her unreleased material. Now I have no idea how valid that claim is, just repeating lol. (Friday 14 August 2020; 19:44)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,901) (94,902) by Myles from CT, USA I was just going to create a message asking where the reggae remixes were? I remember they were on the original single EP they were on there. I loved the "Chucky" line lol. (Friday 14 August 2020; 19:06)

Daydream EPs (94,901) by Bill from the UK Okay, so it looks like MC has slipped Merry Christmas which I thought might happen. But hopefully shell continue the celebrations for the rest of the year and Merry Christmas will get its moment. The Daydream EPs are up. Absolutely brilliant that Underneath the Stars and its brilliant Drifting Remix is finally out there for the world. Very nice surprise to see this Sweet A Capella version of UTS that I had never heard before. I'm disappointed Always Be My Baby is missing the three Reggae Soul mixes. Particularly as the Reggae Soul Acapella was a vinyl only release. Fantasy and One Sweet Day are both in tact though which is great. I love the Chucky's Remix of OSD, one of her best. (Friday 14 August 2020; 07:53)

Mariah of 1990 (94,900) by Randy from USA Mariah seemed to be very dissatisfied with her work in 1990 and dropped hints that she didn't want to be a diva superstar. I wonder what changed so drastically to make her give her freedom personally and musically to Tommy. She was a little spit-fire here. (Friday 14 August 2020; 06:43)

Dolly covers All I Want... (94,899) by Korey2 from United Stated Dolly announced her new holiday album today. She's going to be covering All I Want For Christmas with Jimmy Fallon. I love both Mariah and Dolly. I wish they could co-write something one day. (Friday 14 August 2020; 04:23)

Re: AYNAF (Soul Convention Remix) video (94,895) (94,898) by enwar00 from usa Haha. But I feel like you really thought that was the video. (Thursday 13 August 2020; 09:55)

And You Don't Remember (94,897) by Bobby A from United States Nobody ever talks about this song. I have a true story when Emotions dropped that year in 1992. When I first heard AYDR, it reminded me that I needed to break free from someone who told me sweet things to only get me in his pocket to take him to work everyday. I was a young naive 19 year old who fell for him after he slipped me his number at the local Pop Tunes record shop. The lyrics really hit home with me just by MC's short but hard hitting lines. When she said "Foolishly", I felt the song so much. I realized he was using me big time. So that's my AYDR story. Does anyone else have a MC song story? (Thursday 13 August 2020; 00:30)

Re: AYNAF (Soul Convention Remix) video (94,893) (94,896) by Bill from the UK For the longest time I was saying how HTHAS at GMA was 1991, due to the Can't Let Go video hairdo, but everyone kept insisting it was 1994. The arrangement is different (and better) to the version that ended up being recorded. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 17:09)

Re: AYNAF (Soul Convention Remix) video (94,894) (94,895) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Sarcasm? Moi? It is actually a good YouTube channel, though. Check it out. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 16:04)

Re: AYNAF (Soul Convention Remix) video (94,893) (94,894) by enwar00 from usa Are you being sarcastic? Because that's not the video. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 15:10)

Re: AYNAF (Soul Convention Remix) video (94,878) (94,893) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Mariah Carey's Archives on YouTube (nothing to do with this website) already had the Soul Convention Remix video. It's actually a really good YouTube channel. It sorted out the Hark The Herald Angels Sing clip date for me. It isn't 1994 (despite Mariah looking very 1994 in it). And despite the title of the video saying 1992, the clip is in fact from 1991 as the GMA titles says "Monday Dec 23" which fell in that year. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 14:27)

Re: Allison (94,891) (94,892) by Bill from the UK Yes agree. Who wants to make a list with me? (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 13:47)

Re: Allison (94,890) (94,891) by Anonymous from Apologies there B, I interpreted your message to read as though Mariah was dedicating the anniversary period to her sister. I said I felt for Allison and explained my reasons, I don't care for her being older. With ages comes wisdom yet we still make mistakes, even big ones too. Safe to say I'm done with this topic, it's literally sucking the life out of the board. Onwards and upwards. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 11:52)

Re: Allison (94,887) (94,890) by B from USA My source is the liner notes of Mariah's debut album; she dedicated it to her, and Allison sells a story about satanic rituals to a tabloid during a celebratory time in her sister's career. She chose to do what she did, she wasn't some innocent underage girl like she likes to claim, she's like 10 years older than Mariah. (Wednesday 12 August 2020; 05:30)

Re: Allison (94,887) (94,889) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Addiction is a disease that destroys people's lives and often the lives of the people around them. Those who lambast drug addicts for their mistakes and their actions that harm other people are absolute bellends who have no idea what addictions do to even to the nicest, kindest and most lovely of people. Serious addicts deserve empathy and need help. And you certainly don't just dismiss complaints of sexual abuse that they make just because they are addicts. Allison has made an accusation of child abuse against a person still living which must be investigated. To simply act like she is lying and make up a reason for the alleged lie - something as spurious as her trying to harm an anniversary of an album release that almost nobody but the most ardent of fans really gives two tiny shits about - is a joke and outrageous to the public decency. This is what makes me laugh about the wokest of people who act sanctimoniously and moralise from on high: their absolute hypocrisy and their complete blindness to it. B is for bellend.
