Mariah Carey

I am a huge fan of Mariah and have been since she came onto the music scene. I have posted some rare songs of Mariah's. I love how her voice is so unique and that her songs are so personal.

I agree. I remember a lot of people not liking it. The only complaint I have is Mariah seemed like a featured vocalist on the song. Cisco's voice was much more prominent. But, I do prefer this verison over Prince's original. I don't know, Mimi's version has very strong sexual overtones to it. I did the nasty to it once. biggrin

'Do you think of me' and 'everything fades away' are two of my favourite Mariah songs.

I generally hate her mid-tempo stuff except 'someday' and 'make it happen'

My two cents worth biggrin

I second that. How anyone can love the un-necessary histrionics, and faux soul warblings of those two, over one of Princes finest ever recorded moments is beyond me.

As for Mariah, her stuff is a mixed bag for me. She's done some great stuff, mainly in the 90's, but i find a lot of her new stuff unimpressive and rather bland.

She can still sing when she wants to, it just seems she doesnt want to anymore. None of her new stuff comes close to her 90's work.

I agree. E=MC2 was really bad. Not her worst, though. I still think Charmbracelet was her worst.

"Discipline" was definitely a better album.

That is easily one of Mariah's worst songs...ever. She royally f-ed up P's song.

I enjoy Charmbracelet a lot more than E = MC². I like 14/15 songs from Charmbracelet, and I like 5/14 tracks from the latter, so lol

It has nothing to do with age. She's just doing the same shit over and over after showing GREAT growth as a song writer from 1999 - 2002. It's just sad disbelief

I used to think Charmbracelet was ok, until about a year or so ago, I pulled it out. I noticed how annoying her voice was on that album. She sang a lot in that "whispering" voice and sounded like she moaned and mumbled a lot. It got on my nerves.

I agree with you there. I feel that LA Reid selected most of the songs for Emancipation of Mimi. I think that's what helped make that album one of her best.

Mimi is a good r&b album. It was one of the best for that year and one of her best (to me). I still think Daydream is her best album.

I've also grown to like Rainbow over the years.

Well, I don't think TEOM is a bad album, but I know she can do better lol

People think I'm crazy because I believe Glitter is her best album.

And Rainbow is just fantastic from beginning to end mushy

Her best five song sequence is on there (Crybaby - Did I Do That? - Petals - Rainbow Interlude - Thank God I Found You)

Yeah, I thought Rainbow was ok when I first got it, now I really like that album. It has really grown on me over the years. Charmbracelet...not so much.

May I just say I find myself loving Glitter more and more. It has gone from 'just another album' to being a staple for me. The opening of Lead The Way always gets me misty and then becomes a beautiful song and of course, Loverboy, Didn't Mean To Turn You On, All My Life which is my fave, Never Too Far and Twister are great.
