MC16 (108,607)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
I know that I am beating a dead horse. Will we ever get MC16 in our hands? Today I just think it we will never get MC16.

Same. I really became a lamb around TEOM but then of course discovered her previous discography and the music that interests me or resonates with me is Butterfly onwards. Maybe some Daydream too. I hardly ever listen to the pre 1997 albums.

I am more a fan of after 1997 and until now. I never liked "pop goody two shoes" Mariah.

Old vs new (108,605)

He means that we don't like whining songs. Taylor does that annoyingly very good, unfortunately. I need It's Like That, Heat, Migrate, Touch My Body, Obsessed, etc Mariah.

Mariah's realty dealings (108,604)
by Brad from USA
| |
|
|
It's always hard to apply logic to her real estate comings and goings. For a while it seemed she was renting a manse in Bedford (during the pandemic), now comes word of this one in New Canaan. I'm sure she's renting one out in Calabasas. She had that home in Atlanta that she lost her shirt on. Presumably still has her triplex in NYC but it's mortgaged (yikes). And seemingly may still have holdings in Eleuthera (not sure). It's unclear why she would rent and not buy. Does she not have the capital to buy? Is she indecisive and a bit fiscally reckless, always needing to move around? It's just very, very odd for a legacy artist at her point in her career. I can understand renting for months at a time in the Hamptons and even Aspen or someplace like that, but this generally seems a chronic state for her. And by now, why not buy a home in Aspen? Any insights?

Personally, I like new Mariah more than old Mariah. She sounded more miserable because she was literally miserable. I doubt that she wants to be miserable anymore. There's tons of singers singing about heartbreak, and yet you're here complaining.

by TJ from Norway

I am in the same category. Mariah Carey 1990-1996 just killed. Those lyrics, that voice. Listening to the live versions of her debut album is just out of this world. Her voice changed on every album, and I was "scared" back in '97 when she released Butterfly. The voice that we knew was gone. I don't think fans or lambs post 2000 understand what kind of artist she used to be. I'm just glad to have experienced the extreme power that she had at the time.
At some point she has to get rid of her stilettos, swimsuits, gowns and the newly rich trash style, and use normal clothes and flat shoes. I guess she would look better in stuff from HM than what she wears now.
My dream is that she is going acoustic and simple on stage, like the unplugged concert. Lose the attitude, kill the inner diva and be a humble human being. Be real. She shouldn't try to sing the songs like she used to, but in a way that fits her voice.
Peace out. And have fun at the beach.

Bless you Bobby, I still check in from time to time. Truth is I'm just not a fan of modern day Mariah. Don't get me wrong, I will always love her more than any of you all ever will lol, but I prefer Mariah lamenting about loving someone till the end of time or being alone in love, rather than telling me to GTFO and bragging about riding a D with Ariana Grande.
Anyway, to answer your question, my favourite album is of course the untouchable debut. There is something so magical about those Carey-Margulies compositions, and her voice never sounded as good. That deep, rich tone full of volume and timbre. Oh how I miss it. As for my favourite song, aside from All I Want for Christmas Is You and Vision of Love which I consider separate entities, it would be the regular album version of Fantasy. It came out during the peak of my fandom and hearing it the first time on the radio, I still wistfully think back to that day now and again.
I also enjoy long walks on the beach and quiet nights in. Hope you've been well.

Thank you, Bill. It is great to see your post. I am glad that you are doing well. I should have known MC's debut album was your favorite. I wonder what MC and Ben would have created if the two did more songs together. I think their debut collaborations are up there with Diane Warren's greatest 90s songs. 1990-1995 MC was not long enough before she released Butterfly. Sent From Up Above is my favorite debut album song. I wonder if there are more Ben Margulies songs out there in a vault.

I'm sat here chilling listening to my Mariah and Walter playlist. [Just To Hold You] once again came on in Dolby Atmos. What a classic, it's one of my favourites and sounded as good today as it did with my 15 year old ears. Made my heart feel warm and happy.

I saw this performance of [When You Believe] a few years ago and I had forgotten how much Mariah and Whitney's personalities matter to a song. Sure you can hear Whitney breathing and Mariah's rasp but I would take the two of them singing imperfectly over the two perfect [Broadway] girls version any day.

I agree. Mariah's tone is unmistakable and next to impossible to copy. I've seen many singers be able to mimic Whitney's and Celine's voice, but not Mariah's.
That said: Mariah and Whitney are still the two best vocalists of our time, at least in my opinion. Both their voices soar to stratospheric heights when they belt. I cannot every get past Celine's nasal voice and shrill belts.
For me, there is only a divine vocal binary: Mariah and Whitney.

That was really well sung, but it felt kind of soulless to me. With Mariah and Whitney's version of "When You Believe", it's not just about the big vocals, plenty of people can pull those off. It's the little details, the emotion, and the way they each put their own stamp on it that makes it so special. I've seen a lot of covers, and honestly, I usually love some covers more than the originals, but I haven't seen one yet that tops theirs.
