Glitter 25th anniversary (114,437) by Lainsky from Philippines

Let's hope so. It seems Mariah recorded more songs than we imagined. An Elton John cover? That would be fascinating.

Glitter 25th anniversary (114,436) by Edward from USA

If it were, I would die happy. Just for the Elton John cover, it would be great.

Glitter (114,435) by Edward from USA

I hope these 15 additional tracks aren't just a bunch of bland, current-day remixes. Glitter was such a special project for her. It was going to be her own Bodyguard. She poured so much of herself into it that she ultimately had that infamous nervous breakdown. She had also been recording material for the project years before it was released, "Heartbreaker" was originally supposed to be on Glitter.

Snooze you look Virgin Records (114,433) by Matty from Vancouver Canada

It will be interesting for this new pressing of Glitter to be released via Island Def Jam and not a Virgin Records release. (Also, correct me if I'm wrong, was there a 2nd pressing in the last few years of all MC's albums on vinyl including Glitter? Around the time Glitter appeared back on Streaming?) Anyways - Virgin Records was really chicken sh** out by ending their relationship with Mariah in such a knee jerk way. I mean they still stood by Janet in 2004 and 2006 after the ridiculous Super Bowl insanity.

Virgin panicked, and for the massive organization they were, they could have kept the ship sailing steady. Also, why did someone at Virgin even let Tommy hear Mariah's new music for Glitter? It should have been under lock and key ah-la Beyonce and Drake. There was obviously a rat in the mix (one of Tommy's spies) giving him the goods.

Imagine Mariah hit us with the original plan of releasing Butterfly, then "All that Glitters" movie and soundtrack in 1999 as was intended? It's one of those sliding door moment of Mariah's like. Just like if "Art of Letting Go" album was released right after #Beautiful was climbing the charts while she was on American Idol.

Lillie's Blues (114,432) by Billy from Greece

Could that be a bonus track, perhaps with Mariah's original vocals on it? That would be awesome.

Can this be for real?

New remix (114,430) by Carlos from Brazil

The album version is ecxactly like Cherrele's original song "Didn't Mean To Turn You On" back in 1984 so I guess Mariah wanted the same feeling.

Glitter (114,429) by Max from Germany

But for the record: It's not an 25th anniversary edition - it's just an deluxe edition.

New remix (114,428) by Bobby A from United States

I am excited and disappointed at the same time. Why is there not a plan this time to release all 15 additional tracks and the original album on a 3CD set? I just think this time a physical anniversary CD demand exists amongst the Lambs.

No Bill. She's done and given us enough. I'm joking of course. Lol. Mariah please open the vault and give us everything.

New remix (114,426) by Jamie from UK

Just looked at the physical cd on her store and it's only the original album. Or do we think that will change once the extra tracks are released?

New remix (114,425) by Terna from Nigeria

I always felt like the album version on "Glitter" was quite "noisy" to put it nicely - overproduced, someone at the studio went overboard with the 80's production. Haha. I am pleasantly surprised with this one. The whole song is breathing and Mariah isn't buried under layers of 80's glitter. Lol. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the whole re-release in October.

[Glitter] with mistakes (114,424) by nancy from Switzerland

The [didn't mean to turn you on] remix is a bit better. I don't like the loud guitar in the OG one. I saw Mariah's staff did a mistake. In the LP commercial they wrote: signed signed lithograph. I think Mariah is not very happy about this mistake. It's her image, her legacy. It's ok and positive to celebrate an anniversary after another. Later on the lethargic non live [Christmas] shows follow. A strategy to earn money without doing nothing. No new material. I am sure not everyone likes this post. I am sorry Lambs. But I have to say it.

New remix (114,423) by Lighty from China

I'd assume Never Too Far / Nero will also take a spot on the 15-track disc 2.

Seriously, right? We are being spoiled. Lead the Way in 4K will be enough for me.

Article: Mariah Carey drops "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" remix (114,421) by Lainsky from Philippines

I like it, however, I still prefer the OG in the album. I'm looking forward to seeing and listening to the other 15 tracks. I hope there are new, never-heard songs on this soundtrack album.

New remix (114,420) by Bill from the UK

The new remix is fab and according to the Deluxe placeholder on Amazon Music, we're getting 15 extra tracks including the new remix. I assume another two will be Out Here On My Own and Firecracker, but I will absolutely die if the Prince duet that was shelved has been cleared for release.

Daydream and Glitter both getting this love in one year is incredible. Please Mariah don't forget about your stellar debut and the beautiful Emotions albums.

New remix (114,418) by Jamie from UK

I'm loving this new laid back remix of [Didn't mean to turn you on]. According to the web it contains new vocals from Mariah, is this correct?

Article: Mariah's daughter raises fear among fans with cryptic tribute (114,417) by nancy from Switzerland

I don't think that this is something to be worried about. I think Monroe wanted to tell the world that both are perfectly imperfect angels. It is great to see how she supports her mom. I think MC is a super mother. MC transformed the negativity of her own childhood into something special and precious. MC really needed someone to guide and support her.

Glitter (114,416) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Oh yes. The "dah dah dah dahs� are so typical Mariah. That's why I love it too.

Glitter is a fantastic album. The time [was] just wrong for it. I loved Glitter back then and I still do.

Glitter (114,414) by Lainsky from Philippines

I couldn't agree more. I've listened to Loverboy with the Firecracker sample more since it was released on The Rarities. I wonder how the remix would sound if this were the actual single for Glitter.

Glitter (114,413) by Randy from USA

It grew on me. I didn't like it when I first heard it. The uptempos I felt were boring. But now I love the Candy sample on Loverboy. All of the synths on Want You and Didn't Mean To Turn You On are interesting. Mariah's straining, cracking, vocal on All My Life's verses is good. And she kills the bridge on Funkin 4 Jamaica, although Mystikal take's too long to get to it. But tbh JLo's I'm Real Remix, minus her use of the N word, is way better to me than If We. It's like they improved on the idea. I do not like the Firecracker sample on either song frfr. The original I'm Real is only good on the hook where the Firecracker sample isn't used. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life drones on. I love Mariah's whisper voice most times but on this song it puts you to sleep. I love Fabolous verse but Busta is an afterthought on that song, almost a premonition of Wale on YDKWTD. Glitter's strongest assets are the ballads. I don't even need to speak on Lead The Way. I still miss Walter A because of just that song. Reflections and Twister are in the same vein as Outside, Close My Eyes and Petals which are some of my favorite songs of hers. Never Too Far's intro reminds me of MCs lush, dramatic intros like Vision of Love, Can't Take That Away, Can't Let Go and There For Me. Those intros let you know something serious is getting ready to go down. So overall I like the album a lot now. But for a mix of quality uptempos and great ballads, to me, Butterfly and Memoirs are stronger albums.
