Here it comes....wait for it....lemme guess. It's an Illuminati/Masonic/secret society ploy, right?

to me, this version of Vision of Love owns the Unplugged one:

I don't mind the change in Mariah's voice, but I am bored with her R&B and hip hop influenced direction. It was cool at first as a change from all the ballads but it is getting really old now.
I wondered if she ever considered doing a house/dance influenced record. She has done some good remixes sometimes even with new vocals. It would be an interesting change for her but not so bizarre it would turn off her old fans. I think she should try it.

We talking about Mariah's music history. Stop being a candy-ass and stay on topic.

She was GREAT back in the day. She's GOOD now but needs WAY BETTER material.

I just know the direction you like to take threads. Okay, staying on topic: I agree, she was a serious vocalist when Tommy had her persona under control for the first half of the 1990s, to which you respond.....

The girl's management is all fucked up anyway. She did quite alright without him from '97 to around the Glitter period. Honestly she lost motivation. Someone needs to be there to help her in that department while still allowing Mariah to take control of what she wants, work out a compromise.

Oh Lord, I remember hearing "Vision Of Love" on the radio for weeks thinking it was a new song by Shitney Houston. Horrible song.

Mariah was still good during the Honey & #1s era of her career. But it was around the time of the Rainbow album that she really lost her damn mind. In retrospect, Mariah was acting as if she was reliving her teen years.

Oh really!

So what is your take on Love Takes Time & Someday (an uptempo track BTW)?
