Y'all know that I'm not big on Mariah (I love everything up through Butterfly) and the one song that I love and never get sick of ....is "can't let go" - i just love this song...loved it the day it came out...very emotional. so guess what! I be givin' props to Mariah! Well..the old, pre-implants, Mariah.

Do you like "Make It Last Forever" by Keith Sweat?

Honestly I only know one song by KS

(I think it's called I WANT HER?)

CinisterCee said:

You took it back to '88 there, bucko!
I remember it.

I don't know why folks are ALL bend up on Mariah's way of clothing ALTHO its her own ass & pussy where she will go to the bathroom, bedroom, grave, heaven or to hell with them alone NOT with those folks.

I find it really shallow & flat-out dumb judging a 34 years ol' woman based on how she choose to dress & look(Not to mention coming from the same hypocrites who think that Janet & Maddy are classy lookin', as if )-BTW I'm speaking in general terms here, I don't mean you by this post.

Anyway not to take it deep, but yeah I do like that song myself too(the video is cool and pretty underrated tho).

my brother's favorite MC song also, even tho he dont like her, he does like that song.

The video was kinda boring, but that song is AWESOME.

Excuse did I mention ONCE anything about the way she dresses?! Did you ever think maybe I was referring to not liking her records that came out after Butterfly?

purplegypsy said:

I'm confused...you're not big on her, but you like the majority of her albums?

I think Can't Let Go is one of her best songs, from one of her best albums. Not a huge fan, but I do like her. It's one of her most radio-friendly songs, but it's also well written, produced and sung. I like it a lot.

No I'm not big on her today. Sorry I should have clarified that statement.

purplegypsy said:

There, I just bolded that shit for you to read. And yeah, you mentioned the "pre-implants" as if its a reason for her to be a wack person or something when church choir ladies do that shit.

purplegypsy said:

I didn't bring it up to get off-topic. I really think the "Can't Let Go" keyboard hook sounds alot like Keith's song. The song is off the same album as "I Want Her".

CinisterCee said:

Yes, the keyboard sequence does sound very similar.

RipHer2Shreds said:

The beginning hook on "can't Let Go" - (it's just keyboards) also sounds a bit like the beginning of "One more try" by George Michael...no wonder i like that song too!

I´ve always love the "old" Mariah! I love her first two albums! Do not recognise her anymore though....

I really loved Mariah's and Joe's remake of "Make it last"

twink69 said:

Me too! Not crazy about Nas' rap though.

dag said:

Yeah me too

Great tune and a great performance.

When Mariah Carey's name comes up, these are the tunes that come to mind.

Can't Let Go
I Don't Wanna Cry
Vision Of Love
Love Takes Time
I'll Be There
Hero
Anytime You Need A Friend

Pretty much like everyone else, my preference is the early stuff.

I love this picture!

I like the inside cover pic to her "Emotions" album..very flattering...someone also mentioned "Anytime you need a friend" and I love that song! I love at the end when she wails "you'll never be alooooone!"

Can't Let Go is one of my favorites by MC, along with Make It Happen and Vanishing..that's about it. I have never been into Mariah.

Can't Let Go is my favorite slow song from Mariah Carey.

I don't know why, but her rib cage seems like it's about twice the size it used to be. She used to be a very small-boned, petite woman, but now even though she's pretty thin, she's quite a big girl. Maybe it's the huge implants giving that optical illusion.

Mariah looked her best during the album Emotions! She was just beautiful, totally natural. I loved her back than. She used to be my childhood hero, idol etc. But I just don´t like her current "image".

twink69 said:

So,,50's-esque

I like Mariah I do feel after the "Butterfly" album she got kind of lazy in her material...."Can't let go" is one of my favorite Mariah songs.
