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.

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. (Friday 16 January 2026; 02:46)

Trilogies and sister songs (113,031) by Bobby A from United States What about Miss You being a precursor song to WBT and Don't Forget About Us? All three songs are definitely about Derek Jeter. (Friday 16 January 2026; 05:12) this is a reply to message 113,026

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. (Thursday 15 January 2026; 21:41)

Deep cuts album (113,028) by Lighty from China Yes, supermodel. That's what I thought when I first saw the #1's cover back then. (Friday 16 January 2026; 02:40) this is a reply to message 113,025

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. (Thursday 15 January 2026; 20:40)

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.

Speaking about deep cuts (113,015) by Haiji from United States Thank you. I agree with a lot of what you mentioned. She definitely can do any genre. I'm also hoping for a jazz album soon, but we'll see. Long Ago was very fresh sounding to me coming from MC. I'm a lamb that goes back to the very beginning. I was 10 and heard my sister's friend playing the cassette, Vanishing, I instantly fell in love and borrowed the tape and she eventually gave it to me. I can't recall any song from debut up until Daydream, to be similar sounding to Long Ago. So when I heard it for the first time, I loved it right away and it's still one of my favorites. I was very refreshing and I loved that beat. I liked Fantasy for the video mainly tbh. I had a huge crush on her and would tell everyone I was gonna marry her one day when I'd watch it. Fantasy has never been a favorite. I like the remix but I rarely play it. But I see what you mean. I wish Want You was a solo and not a duet though. I didn't really care for Eric Benét on it. Caution is a great album but not a favorite. I like just a few songs on it but rarely play them. I still listen to HFIA on a daily but the songs are scattered in a playlist with other artists. My favorite is IYF and IWAI. Praying for that deluxe though. (Thursday 15 January 2026; 00:37) this is a reply to message 113,008

Speaking about deep cuts (113,008) by MusicfanJ from Germany I enjoyed your post very much. I think I know what you mean with "Long ago". I never heard a female singer sing so "cool" and urban like Mariah did on Long Ago. The same with Fantasy. But what I loved about Long Ago was the groove and at the same time the sad undertone. It's almost hypnotic. "Want you" is very underrated too. I love that "80ies tune" and her soft, soulful voice on it. Her music catalogue is outstanding. Mariah can sing every genre, from pop to soul/RnB, jazz, country, soft-rock, gospel, blues, maybe grunge lol. It's very rare, and almost every album sounds different. It can never get boring. I still have to discover her newest album fully. But NII and "I won't allow it" are my favourites too. "Your love" is beautiful too. Mariah is the queen of covers too.

Deep cuts album (113,007) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I also think it wasn't needed. She was sexy and carefree with Butterfly but the cover from Rainbow is not so good. Of course it was the "bubblegum pop time" in 99 but I never liked the look from the cover. The look from the "Against all odds" video was beautiful and the many live performances around the world were mostly classy and pretty. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 11:19)
