One era to relive again (113,037) by Stacey from USA
100% agree. I remember getting my hands on a mp3 containing clips of all TEOM songs before its release. I was blown away. It felt like Daydream part II was on the horizon. Something big was about the blow up. My favorite MC clap back was when Barbara Walters interviewed her as part of her Oscars special. BW asked MC what do you say about all those who counted you out? MC responded, "Well if they counted me out, they will just have to count me back in." Fierce.

Is TEOM my favorite album? No. But, it's definitely my favorite era. Everyone had written her off. There is nothing I love more than a great comeback story. Talent always wins out. Yet, to come back in such a way. Even radio had to play WBT. It was such a massive hit. Mariah didn't just come back. She kicked the door open with that "take that" attitude. I love it.

One era to relive again (113,034) by Bobby A from United States
TEOM/2005 is one era that I wish could relive again. MC came back hard after the industry had basically written her off. I started calling MC "my girl" during this era. It was a great time for the Lambily and the new Lambs. Some of JD's, Bryan Michael Cox's, and Johnta Austin's best songs are on TEOM.

Trilogies and sister songs (113,032) by Haiji from United States
Oh wow, I never noticed that, you're right. And yeah, after I posted it I realized how ridiculous it was but I just find all those song very similar to one another. That's just my ear I guess.

What about Miss You being a precursor song to WBT and Don't Forget About Us? All three songs are definitely about Derek Jeter.

Article: Mariah Carey dominates R&B radio (113,030) by Lainsky from Philippines
How I wish this was news from Billboard Hot 100. Yes, seemingly impossible, but nothing is impossible.

Trilogies and sister songs (113,029) by Lighty from China
Wow that's a lot of sisters, almost a huge family. Speaking of Whenever You Call, I always thought of it as the sequel to When I Saw You. The lyrics, the melody, the build up, even the production are somewhat similar. Or it could also be All I've Ever Wanted Part 3.

Trilogies and sister songs (113,026) by Haiji from United States
If you think about it, Can't Let Go would be the original WBT. The song structure, writing format, even the how she sings the verses, builds up to the climax. I'm not speaking about the style of singing since she sings a bit faster on WBT. And I know she pretty much does the whole build-up to climax on almost every song. I hope I'm making sense lol. So for me, the sister songs would be CLG, Everything Fades Away, Melt Away, Whenever You Call, Crybaby, Never Too Far, Yours, We Belong Together, DFAU, I Stay In Love, For The Record, H.A.T.E.U., Angels Cry and Faded. I'd throw 8th Grade and IYF in there but they're slightly different to me, since there's a beat change at the end. I do agree with the trilogy being WBT/DFAU/ISIL.

Deep cuts album (113,025) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I like the [#1's] cover, very diva-like but it suits for all the number ones. I think she looks like a supermodel on it. On the [Rainbow] cover she's of course beautiful too but it was clearly another look, very playful and sexy and "bubblegum". The pic from the booklet on the inside, Mariah with the lollipop is another supermodel pic. She was still so young, so I can understand she wanted to show her sexy side. But she was always so beautiful, the pic from the [Emotions] album on the inside with the thank you's. Such a natural beauty.

Deep cut (113,024) by Edward from USA
Not knowing doesn't equate to being dumb, my dear. Here's the definition:

A deep cut is a lesser-known song on an album that wasn't released as a single or widely promoted. It's usually appreciated by dedicated fans for its depth, mood, or artistry, and often reveals more about the artist than the big hits do.

AIWFCIY original, ExtraFestive, SuperFestive. OK, just kidding. I would say WBT/DFAU/ISIL could be a potential trilogy, or swap ISIL with either Love Story of Last Kiss or Thanx 4 Nothin'.

So we know about the My All, After Tonight and I Only Wanted trilogy. What other trilogies or sister songs does MC have. I've mentioned a few in my previous post. What y'all got?

Deep cut (113,020) by Zachariah from Croatia
Oh, ok, thanks. Well, there is plenty of them. My favorite ones:

"Where Are You Christmas" would be one. Sure, she didn't release it but she co-wrote it so maybe, one day.
"Heat" is another one.
"Boy, I need you" - Panjabi Hit Squad Mix

I guess I have to be the dumb one but what does deep cut exactly means? Sorry if the question is stupid but I don't understand and don't want to be left out.
