Billy Mann (93,325) by Bobby A from United States Why hasn't MC worked with Billy Mann? He is an awesome songwriter who has written hit songs for some of the biggest artists. He has worked the most with P!nk and Kelly Rowland. I just discovered one of his solo CDs. He has a beautiful voice with a falsetto tone that blew my mind. Check him out on YouTube.

Mariah Carey deserves justice for "Slipping Away" (93,324) by Dove from United States I love this idea. Also would love a separate two disc CD/DVD combo with the Tokyo Dome concert. They could add whatever single they're pushing on that set too. I'm sure lambs would buy both the Tokyo Dome combo plus Daydream Deluxe Anniversary Edition. (Thursday 19 March 2020; 00:54)

Caution (93,323) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) In my opinion is short and sweet, Mariah was able to work with co-producers who are some of today’s hit makers, but still capture Mariah’s signature sound. I believe that if she truly went for another sound that strays too far from who she is at her core people would have still found something to complain about. I am happy that Mariah can work with different artists but still remain true to who she is as an artists. Not many artists are afforded that benefit a lot of artists complain about not being able to create the music that they would like because of industry expectations, and politics. Our Mariah has been there at different times in her career so I am just glad that she has had a way to create quality work, and still be true to herself despite expectations, and politics. Hopefully with the next era she will continue on making great music that she,and her fans can appreciate, enjoy, and celebrate. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 20:28)

Re: My top favorite dance songs (93,315) (93,322) by Bobby A from United States What nobody but me thinks that the You're Mine Dance mixes were MC's best in 2013 and the other songs too? (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 19:59)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,320) (93,321) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines What made it gel well altogether despite myriad of producers and themes is the late nocturnal vibe of it all. It sounds like midnight to the early hours of the morning, even with the upbeat tracks. Definitely not the best by Mariah's own standards, but by middle-aged artists' standards? By legends' latter discography standards? By today's music standards? It's really good. Otherwise it wouldn't have been showered with praise. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 18:40)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,319) (93,320) by Bill from the UK The irony was it wasn't even a cohesive body of work. Caution's themes and sound differed track to track. It went from "kiss off" to "kiss me" every other song, and at break neck speed. Good album though, but not great. I mean it's not Daydream's second coming, let's face it.

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,318) (93,319) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Yup. And we all know how on this board Mariah could do just about anything she wants, such as make another Infinity and Why You Mad, dress like Stella, etc. but God forbid she makes something as terrible as a cohesive body of work. We would never hear the end of it. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 14:32)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,316) (93,318) by Bill from the UK Indeed. And they would also help create a cohesive body of work. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 14:01)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,317) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I am on board with your post except the part that says: "Anyone who is focusing on any new projects or touring is not concerned about her wellbeing, they are only concerned about their own selfish interests and to me that is not cool." Funny how that generalization alone somehow comes off even worse than the perceived selfishness and insensitivity it purports to criticize. Discussing other aspects of Mariah's career doesn't automatically make one a) unconcerned of her and her family's health and safety b) selfish and only concerned about their interests c) insensitive and unaware of the impact of the pandemic. No one is downplaying or disregarding the seriousness of the situation we are currently in. We are all subjected to hourly updates on it, and with each one we become more aware, but with each one our anxiety is heightened. The WHO recommends, other than stocking up on basic necessities, also stocking up on laughter or anything that can take our mind off of things. Shows, meetings, appointments have been and will be canceled as long as the coronavirus is around in full force. The world may have been rocked by this, but music, creativity, expression, life - these aren't canceled, for all of us, and especially not for an artist like Mariah. The discussion of her future plans is no different from us contemplating how we're gonna bounce back from this. This is a legitimate concern that is just as harmless as any regular discourse on her music on this board. We trying our best to get by doesn't keep us from planning ahead. Pray, follow the precautions, help others whenever we can, but we must not forget to lighten up. It will better for our immune system. Be well. (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 12:18)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,312) (93,316) by Edward from USA Are you implying they would help Mariah update her signature sound? (Wednesday 18 March 2020; 05:45)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,312) (93,314) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Or have Walter produce it instead. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 18:48)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,311) (93,313) by Bill from the UK What don't you get about it? It's one of the more poignant, sad and desperate lyric she has written. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 17:08)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,310) (93,312) by Bill from the UK I agree. Same for Migrate. Have it re-released with a hot feature from Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 16:40)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,310) (93,311) by Randy from USA I hate to be negative. But the production, melody and vocal is amazing and it's one of my favorite songs by MC. But the lyric doesn't make sense if [you] study it. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 16:22)

Everything Fades Away (93,310) by Edward from USA I know it hasn't occurred to anyone here, but Everything Fades Away should've been a single. We should get justice for it. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 15:11)

Re: "Everything Fades Away" (93,307) (93,309) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Everything Fades Away is such a good song that I spent an afternoon in January figuring out how to get it into my Spotify app. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 12:55)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,308) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Agreed. Nice one. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:40)

Re: "Everything Fades Away" (93,292) (93,307) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Yes, Greek William, yes. Everything Fades Away is to pop/RnB what the Moonlight and Pathetique sonatas are to classical. It sounds like it always existed. It sounds like it should always exist. It is definitive and constant, for want of less dramatic terms. Mariah has perhaps a few masterpieces (in that they are songs that are not reasonabky possible to criticise - I'm looking at you Eddie). Mariah's masterpieces are possibly... well, everyone may have an opinion. But a masterpiece must surely be the definition of perfection. EFA is absolutely one. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:36)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,297) (93,306) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You know I hate disagreeing with people lol but the rehashed Petals that you talk of. I love getting a new Mariah album and hearing what soft introspective, pensive song she's knocked out. I skipped every song on Memoirs until I got to Languishing because it's what I wanted to hear. Portrait was obviously it for Caution and I didn't take to it. But Languishing, Petals, Close My Eyes, Looking In, they're Mariah staples and nobody does it like her. It's insane how much she can make you feel on the songs where it seems like she's not even trying. Maybe Bye Bye was it for E=MC2 although it's more of a single. I loved the song some but it has not stood the test of time well. It sounds dated - not timeless like the aforementioned. Twister was the biggest disappointment on Glitter. The song actually makes me feel anxious. Can't listen to it. But Mariah's strength lies in those melancholy ballads where she sings softly about some kind of pain. Nobody does that like her. Genuinely. (Tuesday 17 March 2020; 00:26)

Re: Pandemic (93,303) (93,305) by RibbonB from USA Ain't that the truth? Although I hope she doesn't catch it like Idris, or Tom Hanks. We could all do without a new pandemic disease, so more importantly let's hope we all survive. On another note, when things clear, or settle down, I bet some comedian is going to have a fire routine about this dystopian year. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:58)

Charlie Puth (93,304) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia If any of you follow Charlie Puth on Instagram, you would have seen him singing "I Still Believe". He's probably one of my favourite male artists - so I love that he's showing love to my favourite female artist. Unless it's in fact a tribute to Brenda - in which case he can move along. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:43)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,303) by T from USA MC will be fine maybe your prayers should be directed to the more poor and vulnerable senior population. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:03)

Re: Hilton (93,299) (93,302) by T from USA If you bothered to read what I was replying to it was a comment that wished she stayed away from the WBT rehashes and did songs more like: Lead The Way, Without You, Never Forget You and I Don't Wanna Cry. My reply was then you need Walter for that. Pure and simple. (Monday 16 March 2020; 23:02)

Re: Pandemic (93,300) (93,301) by MusicfanJ from Germany The 2020 with the pandemic is like a nightmare yet. It seems we'll get a shutdown tomorrow. I hope everybody is well, please take care. (Monday 16 March 2020; 17:09)
