Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,177) (90,178) by Bill from the UK I think like everybody I just wish Languishing was a bit longer. It's almost a crime that it's so short, as Boy goes into it's 17th chorus. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 21:25)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,174) (90,177) by Dennis from Miami, FL I always get goosebumps when I hear that bridge about recollections. Actually, Languishing is my favourite MC track. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 19:20)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,174) (90,176) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Brad that part from "Languishing" is really great and heartfelt. Love it too. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 19:03)

Re: MC's masters (90,171) (90,175) by B from USA She does. After 25 years the ownership of maters are transferred to the artist/songwriter. I believe Mariah's deals with IDJ and Epic included her receiving ownership of her masters. it would also explain her being able to include the #1's she amassed during her tenure at IDJ on #1 To Infinity. If not she owns the masters of Maraih Carey, Emotions, Music Box, and Merry Christmas and next year she'll receive ownership of the Daydream masters. Here's a link about artist being able to reclaim their rights to their music after 25 years. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 16:25)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,169) (90,174) by Brad from USA Hi all. Hope everyone is well. I would nominate the following excerpt from Languishing as one of her greatest lyrics. Although it's just an interlude, I think it's some of her better work plus I love the layerings and whisperings in the song. Thanks and be well. "Those ancient buried recollections We transform them and select them You have yours, I have mine That's fine" (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 16:16)

A medium / Butterfly (classic bossa nova) (90,173) by Lafa from Sweden A medium pointed out a flaw in Butterfly (Classic Bossa Nova). The chorus (background voices) is actually 11 seconds off-pitch at a place. Woops. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 14:43)

Re: MC's masters (90,171) (90,172) by Licia from USA I believe she did buy her masters. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 13:51)

MC's masters (90,171) by Bobby A from United States With the news this week that Scooter Braun bought Big Machine Records and Taylor Swift's masters, does MC own her masters? Taylor Swift is smoking mad. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 13:16)

Re: Caution (90,160) (90,170) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Bill. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 12:13)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,164) (90,169) by RibbonB from USA Those are the exact three I was referring to. Well you named the big three, but even the iconic WBT on your list, while great, it will only be sung by Mimi. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 11:45)

Re: Article: Mariah's ex-manager blames singer in sexual assault suit (90,141) (90,168) by Rene from US Stella is so petty. I hate how she speaks of all those "adults" being bad influences for kids. Give me a break Stella, your Mishka bear was taking pictures of Mariah's ass. I'm convinced Stella does some bad drug called ego dust. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 11:12)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,149) (90,167) by Rene from US I love "Close my eyes" lyrics. The first time I saw Mariah in Las Vegas, she sang it. This was at the Palms Casino for her Angels Advocate tour. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 11:10)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,163) (90,166) by Tijl from Belgium Vision of Love, ABMB, Dreamlover, Without You, AIWFCIY, Hero, Fantasy, Honey, My All, Heartbreaker, When You Believe, We Belong Together are all standards and here to enjoy for generations. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 08:32)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,163) (90,164) by Special K from USA You're right it ain't that deep. On another note, I think Mariah may have three classics that other generations will want to sing. Am I missing a song? All I Want For Christmas Is You Hero Always Be My Baby (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 01:56)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,153) (90,163) by RibbonB from USA Lol, you know people stretch and expand. I guess it wasn't that deep to me. But if he or she meant verse, bridge, chorus, stanza or whatever, shoulda said that. Unpopular take, Mimi has some great songs, but few standards, meaning classics that others want to sing for generations. I think two, maybe three. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 01:14)

Moments with Mimi web series (90,162) by Licia from USA This is a cute little idea. Everyone knows I love when she lets the funny and her personality out. I hope it continues. I've really missed these fun moments. (Tuesday 2 July 2019; 00:32)

Bleakness (90,161) by Will from Australia Some of the stuff people come out with here is so bleak. If someone wants to quote a line, a chorus or the whole bloody song then good on you. You're a fan and are moved by Mariah's lyrics and come here to celebrate it, not to be told how to be a fan in the eyes of the neurotic. These controlling Tommy Mottola need to get a life lol. It's not that deep. My favourite Mariah album, and no.1 of course is Music Box, Daydream and Butterfly. (Monday 1 July 2019; 22:08)

Re: Caution (90,159) (90,160) by Bill from the UK God bless you, it's all in jest my friend. (Monday 1 July 2019; 21:52)

Re: Caution (90,155) (90,159) by Bobby A from United States Bill, maybe I should have not said Thiller, but Good Girl Gone Bad. I may not ever lived that prediction down. Lol. (Monday 1 July 2019; 21:07)

Cornflake (90,158) by Dove from United States Cornflake. (Monday 1 July 2019; 21:00)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,146) (90,157) by Dove from United States "You're acting so corny like Fritos" is Mariah's "Sitting on a Cornflak." I love it. They don't all have to be deep. (Monday 1 July 2019; 20:03)

Re: The Distance (90,151) (90,156) by MusicfanJ from Germany Completley agree. But I do think they won't release it. Hmm we'll see. (Monday 1 July 2019; 18:48)

Re: Caution (90,152) (90,155) by Bill from the UK And not far behind Thriller's 66 million sales as initially predicted. (Monday 1 July 2019; 18:13)

Caution part 2 (90,154) by Bobby A from United States It seems strange to me that MC would jump right back into the studio twice eight months after releasing Caution. The only explanation is that she is getting ready to re-release Caution or deliver Caution Part 2 with new and remixed tracks. She did say at the Barcelona concert she was just in the studio for something special. And Usher is captured in a picture in the studio with MC. I hope they remixed One Mo Gen with new vocals with Usher. Something is about to happen in the next month or so with Caution. (Monday 1 July 2019; 17:47)

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,145) (90,153) by Special K from USA I thought the intent was to site [sic] a lyric, as in "one" lyric or phrase that stands out, has depth, genius, beautiful, and well written. To me if your are going to site [sic] a whole damn song, then it's more like "songs, or a song, with the greatest lyrics", as in plural. Whomever thought of the subject if they happy with folks posting a whole damn song then Special K loves it. (Monday 1 July 2019; 17:32)
