Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,187) by Lambi from USA Thank you. Share yours when you finish it. I just updated mines. (Saturday 1 November 2025; 01:56) this is a reply to message 112,169

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,169) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's a great list for sure. Haha secret weapon, absolutely. I have to copy your playlist, it has a lot of my favourites on it. (Friday 31 October 2025; 13:25)

Michael Jackson collab (112,186) by Lambi from USA I meant with what was still up for grabs in the album. (The other 4 artists took the rest.) The most classic in the remaining ones boil down to Thriller vs. Human Nature. I believe we are correct though, Thriller most likely was it. Btw here is a snippet of what it might've sounded like. She also revealed that Thriller is her most favorite album of all time. (Saturday 1 November 2025; 01:54) this is a reply to message 112,179

Michael Jackson collab (112,179) by Anonymous from USA I remember the 25th Anniversary of Thriller, I ran to Target the day it come out to buy it. I still have it but haven't played it in a while. It is such a good album. Thriller would've been my first pick too for a collaboration. I think MJ has quite a few songs that would be considered classic, not just one or two.

3 albums (112,185) by Edward from USA For your context, "Music Box", while vocally stunning, leans a bit too sappy at times. "Daydream", on the other hand, is perfectly balanced. Both are among my favorite albums, but if I had to choose just one, "Daydream" wins. (Saturday 1 November 2025; 01:38) this is a reply to message 112,177

3 albums (112,177) by TJ from Norway Does Daydream have better lyrics than MB? I don't know. Stacey, please don't hate me. (Friday 31 October 2025; 17:30)

3 albums (112,184) by Bobby A from United States Memoirs, The Emancipation of Mimi, and E=MC2. (Friday 31 October 2025; 23:00) this is a reply to message 112,166

3 albums (112,166) by Edward from USA This is a tough one. I would keep "Daydream", "Butterfly" and "The Emancipation of Mimi". (Friday 31 October 2025; 12:54)

O Holy Night (112,183) by Bill from the UK I always considered Sprung her most Halloween-esque sounding song as it has that weird high pitched whistling instrument that is used in spooky cartoons all the way through it. (Friday 31 October 2025; 20:23) this is a reply to message 112,161

O Holy Night (112,161) by Dove from United States I love the way she sings the first "Oh" in O Holy Night on the Merry Christmas II You version. I hate the background cheering on it. I wish she'd do a Halloween song for my Halloween party playlist. Or a 5 or 6 song Halloween album. Ballroom Blitz? I remember when I was a little kid I would watch Wayne's World and wish Mariah sang that song. Ha ha. Happy Halloween everyone. I hope everyone has fun tonight. (Friday 31 October 2025; 11:59)

Japan (112,182) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is getting a lot of love in Japan and hearing her speak in Japanese was such a delight. (Friday 31 October 2025; 19:42)

3 albums (112,181) by Giovanni from USA It's easy for me: Music Box, The Emancipation Of Mimi and Caution. I love Butterfly but I just can't without "Portrait". In my opinion Caution is a no skip album. (Friday 31 October 2025; 19:40)

3 albums (112,180) by Anonymous from USA To keep I would pick Glitter, Butterfly and The Emancipation of Mimi. This so tough because I love them all for different reasons. (Friday 31 October 2025; 18:56) this is a reply to message 112,168

3 albums (112,168) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really tough. I would pick: Music Box, Daydream and Butterfly. (Friday 31 October 2025; 13:21)

Michael Jackson collab (112,170) by Lambi from USA Mariah has so many choreographable songs that she can't dance to either, though. LMAO. But yes, I've thought deeply about this too. In 2008, MJ released the Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition, which included remixes featuring various artists. I bet she was originally intended to be part of it. The remixed tracks were: • The Girl Is Mine - will.i.am • P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) - will.i.am • Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - Akon • Beat It - Fergie • Billie Jean - Kanye West The Girl Is Mine was already a duet with Paul McCartney, so by process of elimination, that would've left her with either: Baby Be Mine, Thriller, Human Nature, or The Lady in My Life. Only Human Nature and Thriller are true classics (Mariah said it's one of his classics). For more context clues, she mentioned they were doing something "really huge" for him and that their collab would sort of "usurp" the situation."Usurp" means to lessen the importance of something, so I'd have to go with Thriller. It's the bigger hit and would make more sense that they'd want to protect it. Honestly though, I think they just didn't want Mariah involved. How were the other 4 artists allowed, but not her? Michael handpicked the biggest stars from 2005-08. Sony probably resented that she was having massive success with Def Jam at the time. In my opinion, Thriller will always belong to Michael, regardless of how incredible Mariah's ad-libs and background vocals might have been. Just like how literally no one even knows about the other remixes. And before my haters come for me, these are just my opinions based on what we can gather. Take a chill pill. I'm allowed to have them. (Friday 31 October 2025; 14:33)

Albums that inspired Here For It All (112,178) by T from USA You know how Mariah said there's a song that could fit on all the past albums? Since this new album is kind of like a walk down memory lane, which songs do you think would belong to which previous album? Using only album for each song, I'll go first: Mi = Memoirs PTS = MIAMTEC TD = E=MC2 SS = Charmbracelet IYF = TEOM NIO = Music Box CC = Caution IWAI = Glitter MY = Rainbow JID = Merry Christmas II You HFIF = Daydream (Friday 31 October 2025; 17:33)

3 albums (112,176) by Edward from USA You know I love myself some "Music Box", but in the context of your post, "Daydream", "Butterfly", and "The Emancipation of Mimi" have, in my opinion, a perfect mix of strong lyrics, soulful vocals, and fun energy. (Friday 31 October 2025; 16:59)

3 albums (112,175) by TJ from Norway To erase is not easy either. My list would be MIAM, Merry Christmas 2 and her latest one. (Friday 31 October 2025; 16:33) this is a reply to message 112,163

3 albums (112,163) by Bill from the UK I'd rather it be 3 albums we can erase from her discography than save. This is so tricky as MC's albums are good for different reasons. Like vocally I'd select the debut, Emotions and Merry Christmas. Lyrically it would be Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Memoirs. In terms of end to end enjoyment it'd be Music Box, Daydream and Emancipation. In terms of artistry it'd be Here For It All, Glitter, and Caution. So, yeh. All of them lol. (Friday 31 October 2025; 12:35)

3 albums (112,174) by TJ from Norway Music Box will always be on any "albums I adore" list. I know I should say Emotions, but I love her Merry Christmas and her debut album, so I guess that's my list. (Friday 31 October 2025; 16:29) this is a reply to message 112,168

3 albums (112,172) by TJ from Norway I would love to keep Emotions because of the song If It's Over, but I still haven't been able to make my own list. (Friday 31 October 2025; 16:18) this is a reply to message 112,163

3 albums (112,171) by Jamie from UK Defo Emotions for the soul, Music Box because it's my favourite and Butterfly for the gangster in me. (Friday 31 October 2025; 15:53) this is a reply to message 112,155

Michael Jackson collab (112,144) by Anonymous from USA Serious question. What song do we think MC recorded with MJ? I can't picture MC doing the Thriller choreography. That would be hilarious though. I've always loved You Are Not Alone and it would suit her. I miss Michael, he should be here with us. (Thursday 30 October 2025; 02:29)

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,157) by Lambi from USA A playlist I use as a secret weapon for pulling people deeper into MC's discography. It's a thrill seeing them secretly shazam it. It's made up of non-single deep cuts from each of Mariah's album (excluding holiday): 1. Vanishing (MC) 2. So Blessed (Emotions) 3. Music Box (MB) 4. Underneath The Stars (Daydream) 5. Close My Eyes (Butterfly) 6. Bliss (Rainbow) 7. Reflections (Glitter) 8. The One (Charm) 9. Joy Ride (TEOM) 10. Love Story (E=MC2) 11. Inseparable (MOAIA) 12. Dedicated (MIAMTEC) 13. One Mo' Gen (Caution) 14. Nothing Is Impossible (HFIA) Curious what would yours look like? (Friday 31 October 2025; 09:39)

3 albums (112,167) by Lambi from USA To maximize her full artistry, I'm picking one from from each decade: • 90s: Daydream • 00s: The Emancipation of Mimi Lumping 2010s and 2020s together since there's only 3 albums to choose from, so the final one would have to be Here For It All.

3 albums (112,164) by Zachariah from Croatia Glitter - it just has to be there because if it was released in 2015, it would be a banger. Butterfly - hello, it's Butterfly. Caution - perfect vibe and production. (Friday 31 October 2025; 12:39) this is a reply to message 112,155
