A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,552) by MusicfanJ from Germany Do you mean with acting, playing the diva-role? Well, she's really good at playing the ultimate diva. But for the movies I liked her best in "Wise Girls" and "Tennessee". (Sunday 5 April 2026; 19:36) this is a reply to message 113,550

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,550) by Lambi from USA Here are her words verbatim from this interview, I extracted it so you don't have to: I was so obsessed with my career ever since I can remember. I remember in seventh grade we each had to speak about what we wanted to be. I was a hideous mess then. I had shaved my eyebrows by accident, I had orange hair, I had three shirts that I rotated; it wasn't a pretty sight and it wasn't fun. But when they asked me, "What do you want to be?" I said, "I want to be a singer and an actress." We actually can just confirm it based on her actions. She did in fact pursue both singing and acting. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 15:03)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,551) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, is it true what Nostradamus is reporting that MC is planning multiple versions of Glitter including signed copies? If it is true, the Glitter anniversary release is going to bigger than the Music Box anniversary release. You can just say yes or no to give us some hope. I know you have to honor your NDA.

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,547) by TJ from Norway I can't remember Mariah saying that she always wanted to act when she was growing up. I do remember reading interviews where she said that she didn't want to be an actress, and that singers/musicians should stick to what they knew, which was music. If this was after the release of Bodyguard or Evita, I can't recall. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 07:16)

Honey (113,549) by Lainsky from Philippines Okay, a list of our favorite Mariah music videos. Here's my top 6. 1. Honey 2. Heartbreaker 3. Breakdown 4. It's Like That/We Belong Together 5. Touch My Body 6. Shake It Off (Sunday 5 April 2026; 13:17) this is a reply to message 113,545

Honey (113,545) by Bobby A from United States Honey is one of MC's best videos she has ever made. I am surprised that we haven't received a making the Honey video featurette yet. Actually that would be nice for MC to drop some making the video featurettes with the director's commentary on her Youtube channel once month. It couldn't be too difficult for her to create the featurettes and surprise the Lambs each month. Here are my top 5 video featurettes: 1. Honey 2. Shake It Off 3. A No No 4. Boy (I Need You) 5. Get Your Number (Sunday 5 April 2026; 02:36)

Prisoner (113,548) by Bill from the UK That is a concept of what the demo may have sounded like. A very short 16-second clip of the demo version of Prisoner was posted and that video was made based around that clip. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 10:22) this is a reply to message 113,542

Prisoner (113,542) by TJ from Norway Is this old news, or have this link been discussed before? It says no AI, and that it is from the demo. Well I'm not sure about that, but it sounds like something from the demo tape that I found on YouTube. I like the bass on this one. How about you? (Saturday 4 April 2026; 13:54)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,544) by Lambi from USA My acting coach said that for acting to be believable, the actor needs to have experienced the emotions, or at least been in close proximity to what they're trying to portray with their facial expressions. This is why Heath Ledger purposely isolated himself in a hotel room to develop the mindset of the Joker. He fully immersed himself in the psyche of his character. It's called method acting. I'd say Mariah did well in scenes that have everything to do with being a singer-songwriter. Finding out her song was on the radio for the first time. Getting more excited as the melody she's writing improves. These are all emotions she had already felt, and they came out naturally in the movie. But it was also sometimes inconsistent. For instance, she did really well lip syncing Don't Funk at that club when she was put on the spot by Dice, then did pretty poorly miming All My Life when she took over Sylk in the studio. The more family-oriented emotions, like seeing her movie mom on drugs and wandering the streets, probably came from similar feelings to dealing with Alison. Then there are the Tommy-related emotions required for Dice's tantrums and jealousy. When he called Da Brat fat ass, she might have drawn from emotions tied to when Tommy degraded Diddy. Her acting was very strong in that scene in my opinion. Then being physically threatened by Terrence Howard because Dice didn't pay 100k. Those reference emotions could connect to what she felt when Tommy put a knife to her cheek. I wouldn't say she was objectively bad, but a bit unseasoned. I don't think she was quite ready for a lead role just yet. I also felt like it needed better cinematography. I'd even argue better songs. Mariah has written such vivid songs. She quite literally paints a picture with her lyrics. This would have been the perfect opportunity to write another Underneath the Stars or Fourth of July, but instead we got the haunting, suicide-themed Twister, which felt awkwardly shoehorned into her mother's disappearance. It felt like, "whatever, we have to make use of the soundtrack, let's just put this here". Overall, the movie direction fell far short of her songwriting's standard. Mariah's always said all she wanted to be was a singer and an actress growing up. Actress being there is a pretty big deal. I'd say with the right material and once all the inhibitions are gone, she could be great. She's proven this with Precious. I'm not shutting down MC just yet in her acting pursuit. She's got a larger emotions palette just from what she went through the last 15 years, meaning there are plenty of inspirations to take from. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 00:40)

Honey (113,543) by Bill from the UK So my story with Honey was that I used to get the magazine Record Collector to mail order rare Mariah items (this was pre-Internet remember, kids). All you really had back then was eBay and I was too young to have an account. Anyway, I remember a shop listed a handful of MC items in their ad and saw "Honey (US promo CD)" and I was like (ellipses), what is this? I thought they had mistyped "Hero" and my dad was saying he doubted that was the case. I ended up calling the store and they said it was her new single. Well, I ordered it there and then for £10 (half of my day's wage back then from my Saturday job). I then glued myself to the radio all weekend, and lo and behold, it got played and I loved it and managed to tape it on my stereo (though they faded the song about midway through and went to the news which was annoying). The CD arrived a few days later and I remember being floored by the sepia cover with her hair flying around. It had the album version, Bad Boy Remix and two versions of the "Smooth" remix (one with the intro and one without). I was so grateful it also had the lyrics too. I played it non-stop and I remember one of my cousins saying "have you seen the video yet?" and not, but I thought the cover would have been a shot from the video and it would have been something by similar. So I parked myself in front of the TV for hours switching between MTV and VH1 every 5 minutes. Eventually, it appeared and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought it was such a blast, and there was such a buzz about it at the time. Everyone at school was talking about it, mainly because her flesh coloured swim suit made it look like she was exiting the pool wearing her birthday suit. Great times. (Saturday 4 April 2026; 15:14)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,537) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I found it so gratifying to see "Loverboy" rocket up the charts from #60 to #2 after the fans turned out to buy the single and support our girl. Mariah and her team made a lot of mistakes with Glitter. I think "Wisegirls" should have been Mariah's first major film role rather than "Glitter". She was quite good in "Wisegirls" and definitely held her own with Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters. You could tell she was much more relaxed on that set than for "Glitter". "Glitter" turned out the way it did due to a number of factors. Number one, they veered away from Kate Lanier's script and relied a lot on improvisation during the filming. Number two, they should have picked a more seasoned director than Vondie Curtis-Hall - he had only directed one film before "Glitter" (Gridlock'd) and I think his style was not a match for what Mariah needed. A better choice would have been Brian Gibson, who did the Tina Turner biopic based on a script by Kate Lanier. Number three, Max Beesley was the wrong lead male actor to play Dice. He's a nice guy, but they should have picked someone with a higher profile. I don't think Terrence Howard was the right person either, but they needed a bigger name. Number four, the sabotage of the "Loverboy" single probably meant that they had to cut out footage featuring the "Firecracker" version in post-production because the song was her character's first big hit in the movie. The movie was delayed from early 2001 to Summer 2001 because of it, and that was before Mariah's personal struggles in July/August. They had to redo movie trailers and re-work the soundtrack album because of it. Whitney had it much easier with "The Bodyguard" than Mariah did with "Glitter". Whitney only wrote one song on that soundtrack, only recorded six of the 13 songs included, and had Kevin Costner as a director and co-lead right around the time of "Dances with Wolves". The film had already been in development since the 70s, while "Glitter" was something that Mariah worked closely on with Kate Lanier and others throughout the development process. Whitney did not have to work for "The Bodyguard" the way that Mariah did for "Glitter". Whitney was a decent actress, but I disagree that her acting in "The Bodyguard" is that much better than Mariah's in "Glitter". "Waiting to Exhale" was definitely a better showcase of Whitney's acting talents. (Friday 3 April 2026; 20:35)

Honey (113,536) by Jamie from UK I remember being in the office in one of my first jobs and my best friend calling me on the landline saying she'd just seen the new Mariah video "Honey" on MTV. She said the song is cool but she wasn't sure id like the video as it was very different. I saw it that evening. I remember being initially shocked at her in a bikini, I remember loving her speaking Spanish, but I loved the song. I thought this video is bold but it works, as it mixed a young Mariah with an edgy side. (Friday 3 April 2026; 11:10)

Honey (113,541) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. When I first heard "Honey" on the radio in 97, I loved it immediately. But with the video I was really surprised. I mean compared with her videos for Daydream, the look was indeed new. But then I also loved her video. I love the James Bond vibe/theme. MC was looking like a supermodel and the beginning of the video was real fun. At the end there was the sweet, natural Mariah again with the male supermodel on the beach and sweet Jack. The whole video is visually outstanding. Funny side note: I watched "Thunderball" yesterday, it's the movie where Mariah and her team must have got a lot of inspiration for Honey. Just look at the the actress who plays Domino. The same with her bikini inspired from "Dr. No". I just love those cinema parallels. Mariah could have been a Bond-girl too.

Honey (113,539) by Lainsky from Philippines I have the same shock reaction, Jamie, when I saw the video for the first time. Jaw dropped literally. I love the single without a doubt, however, I felt conflicted about the video at first. Perhaps I got used to her girl-next-door look, but the story made me love the music video, and eventually, I like her new look. Then, I read from Chris Nickson's book about Mariah (1998), and he described all of it as, "F*ck you, Tommy." Nevertheless, it's my favorite music video of hers. (Saturday 4 April 2026; 08:20)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,540) by Lainsky from Philippines Likewise, but still, I wished Bootylicious hadn't stopped it from taking the stop spot. Of course, everybody knows who's the culprit. Well, it was Mariah's rock bottom era. (Saturday 4 April 2026; 08:23) this is a reply to message 113,537

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,538) by Bobby A from United States I think MC's voice sounds good on Glitter because she recorded the album at night during the winter and early spring in the U.S. Recording Rainbow on the Island of Capri full of exhaustion amidst a label battle caused MC's voice to produce a rasp that we did not hear on Butterfly. Once MC was done with Sony and back to recording in the U.S. again, her voice rebounded back to sounding like her early 90's vocals. The Charmbraclet tour is another time MC's voice rebounded back. Did she chose to record Rainbow on the island of Capri to not be bothered by label executives? How were MC's vocals on Rainbow affected by recording the album in three months? Did MC feel liberated and optimistic during the recording and filming of Glitter? Was the Glitter era supposed to be her second Butterfly metamorphosis? Did the promotion of Glitter reveal that MC's voice and body was not ready for what it takes to promote an album and a movie at the same time? These questions have to be answer to fully understand how MC's voice has performed under periods of pressure and after months of rest. I think that I may be on to something today. MC's voice is a unique instrument and it does not perform well during harsh temperatures, extreme exhaustion, high stress levels and early mornings performances or recording sessions. Now can MC's voice rebound back to TEOM vocals if she didn't record or perform for 5 years? Absolutely. (Saturday 4 April 2026; 00:00) this is a reply to message 113,526

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,526) by Edward from USA I agree. Glitter is definitely not a movie I ever think about rewatching but the music is simply great. That album is tied to some of the best memories of my life, so I'll always love it for that alone. Vocally, it's actually kind of crazy when you think about it. After the softer vocals on Butterfly, and then stuff like "I Still Believe" and "Do You Know Where You're Going To?" where she didn't sound her best, Glitter was like Mariah came back in full force. She sounded clear, strong, and effortless on that album. That's why it's always been hard for me to understand what happened after. You could already hear some cracks starting in the Butterfly era, and she didn't really improve on Rainbow, but then somehow she completely redeemed herself on Glitter just to go downhill again after that. She's definitely had some great vocal moments since then, but as a full album, nothing really compares to what she delivered there. And as for "Lead the Way", pure perfection.

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,530) by LEOlamb from USA I love Glitter, the movie, the soundtrack, the singles. I must have purchased 200 copies of "Loverboy" in that push for the Hot 100 fight with "Bootylicious". I had 20 copies of the CD (including my three copies reserved in advance from Coconuts Music Store). I've seen the movie, rented it, bought the DVD when it came out, and even got the VHS - I supported it like crazy. I hope we get some fun additional stuff. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 22:45)

Honey (113,529) by Bill from the UK I had to stop by to say that I've been listening to Honey ad nauseam recently. The song is pure ear candy. The merging of the two samples and how well they come together, the cascading strings, the wall of sound vocals, Mariah's rasp in her voice. What a launchpad to the "New Mariah" it was. And that video. Iconic and epic. That opening verse as she meanders around that slinky beat is pure fire. What a song and what a moment it was. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 20:15)

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,535) by Lainsky from Philippines I could not agree more, Stacey. Lead The Way has taken over the top of my list of Mariah's best ballads and songs. It used to be Butterfly, but as time passed by, Lead The Way took over my heart and ears. As Edward said, it's pure perfection. So, I won't be surprised if the Glitter album becomes my favorite, but we'll see. Also, I agree that Mariah was brilliant in Precious, good in Wisegirls, and may do well with comedy. She could be a wise comedian, I think. I also believe she could be a very good villain, like in A Christmas Melody. I mean, her character there is hilariously annoying. I love Lacey Chabert, MC's favorite Mean Girl. I watched almost all of her Hallmark movies, but that's off-topic. (Friday 3 April 2026; 07:29) this is a reply to message 113,524

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,524) by Stacey from USA I am honestly indifferent to the whole love/hate conversation about Glitter, lol. I just love the music. I am thankful to Glitter everyday because I get to listen to Lead The Way. Wow. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 16:35)

HATE U remix (113,534) by Giovanni from USA Okay I just wanna say as a fan I do not care about SUD, I want the Angels Advocate album released. I was just playing the "HATE U" remix and it's a bop. Mariah sampling Ghost Town DJs "My boo" is fire. Just imagine if she had sampled it during the Butterfly era. Mariah is definitely the queen of remixes and I am proud to own The Remixes album. No other female artist can and will never do a remix like MC. (Friday 3 April 2026; 06:47)

Honey (113,533) by Giovanni from USA Funny I have been playing "Honey" on a loop along with "My all", "Fourth of July" and "When I close my eyes". "Honey" is my favorite Mariah song along with "Dreamlover" and "Don't forget about us". Mariah ate with "Honey" and it's so raunchy how it's all one man, Derek Jeter haha. That man must have rocked her world. (Friday 3 April 2026; 06:39) this is a reply to message 113,529

Honey (113,529) by Bill from the UK I had to stop by to say that I've been listening to Honey ad nauseam recently. The song is pure ear candy. The merging of the two samples and how well they come together, the cascading strings, the wall of sound vocals, Mariah's rasp in her voice. What a launchpad to the "New Mariah" it was. And that video. Iconic and epic. That opening verse as she meanders around that slinky beat is pure fire. What a song and what a moment it was. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 20:15)

Glitter (113,532) by Giovanni from USA You all didn't have to do MC like that, I understand Mariah is no Meryl Streep but it was her first movie role, give her a break. She was better in Tennessee and Precious. Mariah definitely made an improvement and I'm sure with acting lessons she would have been better and could have done more roles. The Glitter album is good and I agree her voice bounced back from Rainbow and was more fuller and stronger. It's very interesting to hear the voice transition from Glitter to Charmbracelet.

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,525) by Lighty from China At least Glitter is better than A Christmas Melody in my very humble opinion. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 17:05)

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,530) by LEOlamb from USA I love Glitter, the movie, the soundtrack, the singles. I must have purchased 200 copies of "Loverboy" in that push for the Hot 100 fight with "Bootylicious". I had 20 copies of the CD (including my three copies reserved in advance from Coconuts Music Store). I've seen the movie, rented it, bought the DVD when it came out, and even got the VHS - I supported it like crazy. I hope we get some fun additional stuff.
