I love this part:

-U need don't them. They're just backup

-Mariah starts singing "All My Life"

This is what pretty much turned me into a Mariah fan. Before this album I wasn't that into her although I liked her debut when it first came out. I thought this album was SO hot. I LOVE her version of "I didn't mean to turn you on" Although Robert Palmer's is my song..but this version was so cool too!

So did Teena Marie ever record this song? I heard Rick wrote it for her but I cant find it on any Lady Tee albums.

My favorite Robert Palmer track! I love his version. It was also a cool switch up on gender stereotypes when he sang those lyrics. So much soul too. I miss him.

Me 2! I loved Robert Palmer's music.

yeah that's my favorite CHERRELLE song.

I love 80's music and have always liked mariah's music too. At first listen I liked the album but it didn't last very long. I think lead the way, never too far, reflections and want you are the best tracks on the album and I was playing those a lot, but the others, though not bad, weren't really that great to me. I guess I prefer the original songs they sampled from. hmmm maybe it's time I gave it another listen

I really love this song. It makes me wonder if she and Rick could have collaborated in the future.

I think 'Glitter' is a good album and 'Lead The Way' is one of my favourite Mariah songs also.

daPrettyman said:

sO TOTALLY AGREED!!!!!

So does anyone know if Jam & Lewis re-recorded "Didn't mean to turn you on" Or just used the old Cherelle tracks? THey sound SO SIMILAR!

They used the old Cherrelle tracks.

This album so deserves the revisits it gets....Mariah really put together a fine pop/funk album that was sadly overlooked.

Just think of all the 80's synths and samples came after GLITTER...heck Gwen Stefani wouldnt have had a solo career without it....or Fergie and re-vamed Nelly Furtado....

GLITTER did use samples...but it did a fine job at doing it..not to mention going straight to the original sources to revamp them!

This will be her 'PARADE' for sure...

overloooked....but excellent.

peace

Not a bad comparison: only Prince fans know that Parade is actually better than Sign O The Times and are the only ones who can stand Under The Cherry Moon.

I don't think I've ever disagreed with you more! I love Parade and all, but I wouldn't call it better than SOTT. And you're not making me sit through Under the Cherry Moon again.

I think that puttin out Loverboy as a single did not help the album. I think it´s the worst song on the album. It seems to happen quite often. Dirrty was also the first single of Stripped and I think it´s the worst song on the album, even though it was a hit.

"Have you thought seriously about acting?"

Billie/Mariah: "No."

I hate the 'Glitter' soundtrack but oddly enough,I like the movie

GaryMF said:

it reminded me of 1999 for some reason, probably cause J&L were prince's proteges

alphastreet said:

Yes.... also the main riff of the song (the whole song is actually based on this one riff) is similar to the main riff of 1999..... it's just played more quickly.

That's what T thought. Just curious, are you basing this on what you hear, or did you read it somewhere?
