Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,485)
by BFF from United States
| |
|

Totally fair. I just find the Fantasy Remix very "cut and paste" in terms of Mariah's remixes whereas the hip-hop remixes for songs like My All, Always Be My Baby, Heartbreaker, Thank God I Found You and Honey (So So Def) were re-sung, re-recorded, and re-written with new samples in an incredibly creative way. I also just find Wu-Tang Clan and ODB a bit overrated in comparison to other hip-hop acts from the 1990s. I particularly appreciated Mariah pulling in Missy Elliott and Da Brat on the Heartbreaker remix for an answer to Snoop Dogg's "Ain't No Fun".

Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,481)
by BFF from United States

I was talking to someone the other day about how I felt the ODB version of "Fantasy" is a bit overrated and played out. It's the one that everyone knows - I actually quite like the original version and the House remix more. Though I do appreciate the "Me and Mariah go back like babies and pacifiers" line. I use that one a lot. What do you all think? Favorite Mariah hip-hop collaborations/remixes? These would be my 10 favorites
1. My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix) 2. The Roof (Mobb Deep Extended) 3. Breakdown (Mo Thugs Version) 4. Crybaby 5. Always Be My Baby (So So Def Remix) 6. Underneath the Stars (Drifting Remix) 7. I Still Believe/Pure Imagination 8. Honey (So So Def Remix) 9. Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) 10. Heartbreaker (DJ Clue Remix)
I never really cared for "I Know What You Want" with Busta Rhymes. And I still feel like Mariah's golden period for these collaborations was that 1997-2000 period.

Happy birthday MC / What y'all playin? (108,479)
by BFF from United States
| |
|

I'm all up in my feelings with "Can't Let Go", "Can't Take that Away", and "My All/Stay Awhile".
"Can't Let Go" is hitting especially hard (particularly the Soul Train performance) due to certain men who are sending mixed, hot/cold signals.

I totally agree. "Circles", "Mine Again", and "Stay the Night" all sounded strained and that's why I never cared for those songs. "Joy Ride" was slightly better, but overall, the ballads on the album needed more work. I think "Sprung" should have made the main track listing - there is something so effervescent and joyful about it.

Mariah's voice sounded strained on several tracks from TEOM, particularly those that required more vocal power, such as "Mine Again", "Stay the Night", and "Circles". In "Stay the Night", especially, it feels, in my humble opinion, that she's screaming rather than singing, that's why I probably never enjoyed that track. In contrast, her vocals on E=MC2 and Memoirs were much more relaxed, clear, and controlled. The strain shown heavily on TEOM had vanished by then.

Emancipation & Daydream (108,443)
by BFF from United States

|

I was hearing Mariah very early on in the 90s and remember songs like "Dreamlover", "One Sweet Day", "I'll Be There", "Always Be My Baby", etc on the radio. But I became a massive fan during the "Rainbow" era. It's not her best album, but it was an incredibly fun era that I loved. I think Mariah was sending subliminal messages to my young gay boy self with that album cover lol.

Late 90s / early 00s Hero renditions (108,442)
by BFF from United States

I keep listening to this rendition of "Hero" from the Rainbow tour and am in awe of how the song really took on a different meaning for Mariah at that point in time. She finally understood why the song was so important to so many of us. I'm at a point in my life where I really need the song after a long period of shrinking myself for others.

Ok while it's the 20th Anniversary of Mimi and 30th Anniversary of Daydream. Choose your two favourite songs from each album. Mine are: We Belong Together/Get Your Number Fantasy/Looking In I'm interested to hear people's choices and thought I'd bring some fun to the board.

Love letter to MC (108,408)
by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
| |
|
|
To Mariah, whom I love, cherish and adore (more than some of my own blood relations) and wish, hope and pray will humble yourself and let go of anything holding you back from being happy and at peace, where you have always belonged but for some reason you feel unworthy and don't believe is for you.
Mariah, nobody "deserves" or earns love, it's a gift from our creator. Rejecting love is not where it's at. God wants you to be happy. Grief comes and goes in waves, let it happen. Lean into it, move through it. Don't bottle all your struggles up. Your disappointment. Declare yourself free and unburden yourself from the wounds you carry. We all have to mourn our dead. But let's celebrate the living too, why grieve and eulogize loved ones who still draw breath?
We'll be okay, we don't really need new music or any of the other things we always bitch about. We care about you. You are not somewhat loved, you are loved, period. Don't martyr yourself for the fandom, the public and strangers that care or know nothing about you. We'll live and we'll be happy because you're genuinely happy. Why won't you choose happy, is it fear? Well that's not of the Lord and you know it.
So whatever had you running scared, run towards that. Because faking it until you make it isn't working. It also reads inauthentic and that's not good because even as someone who loves you and means you well, always, I can misread you as someone who doesn't care when I also see that you're trying very hard. Let go of your pride. It's not doing you any favors. Handle your business girl and I'm not talking music or showbusiness. Go off grid if you have to. Be Garbo for a minute or two. Let God lead the way and follow Him. You don't need to go on an exploitation/explanation tour on anyone's primetime tv-couch. Go be with the people who love you, 4 real 4 real. It's time you stop self sabotaging. Reject dysfunction once and for all. Stop rejecting stability in favour of familiarity of chaos and uncertainty.
Go where you're loved and accepted wholely and truly. That's what you should keep building on. Love is the only thing that we take with us, given and received, when we leave this earth. Let's not take it for granted and waste time on frivolous things and hollow relationships. Stop feeding the trolls.
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13.

I definitely approve of Anderson from an aesthetics standpoint. He's very good looking, and he seems like he has a kind and upbeat persona. Also quite talented from a musical standpoint. Overall, he's probably one of Mariah's better choices in terms of men.

Anderson Paak is a fine looking gentleman, though. Maybe he is using his connections in the industry to help MC get her voice back. If anybody can get MC to think about having vocal surgery, it is Anderson Paak. He is definitely standing by her side showing he cares about MC.

I understand. I know your perspective was speaking to all in general terms. No worries here BFF. The tone in my writing style comes off as overly sensitive. I try not to take things so personal, but it comes out at times in my posts. Plus, my dysgraphia has really shown up a lot in my posts during the past week from stress. I say the words in my mind, but I don't type them. So, all is good on this beautiful Friday. I got to take a step back this weekend and forget my job while on vacation. I understand now how MC felt on American Idol being in a toxic workplace.

Robert Anthony, I hope you know that my post was not directed against you but all of the people who have been so cruel to Mariah throughout the years. It really feels personal when people are so mean and disrespectful to her. I felt it when people made fun of made for loving her in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. You just wonder when people will embrace her for the truly great, international, boundary-breaking artist that she is.

Thank you, Randy. What is it about a pear, though? I come here to take my mind off my stressful job this year. I am just mentally drained teaching in this affluent school. It is not the students, but the so called professional adults and demanding parents that I work with. Sometimes my posts are result of how hard my day was and how much I can't wait until May 23rd to free myself from this school. I understand how MC felt when Virgin wouldn't let her alone during the promotion of Glitter. Anyway, I hope MC is showered with love and praise on March 17th when she receives her iHeart Radio recognition.

No worries, Robert Anthony. I just think that people underestimate the level of disrespect/venom that people have directed at Mariah over the years. It's been memory holed by a lot of people, and many think that a few retrospective positive reviews of "Daydream" or "Butterfly" somehow makes up for how poorly she was treated at times.

Mariah has collaborated with a diverse range of artists as well. She's recorded songs and sang live with Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Luciano Pavarotti, Boyz II Men, Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Babyface, ODB, Rick James, Eric Benet, Jay-Z, Willie Nelson, and the list goes on. I'm telling you, people disrespect Mariah out of spite for all of the reasons Randy and I elaborated upon in our posts.

I have been trying to think of one reason why MJB was inducted last year. MJB has collaborated with a diverse group of artists like U2, Elton John, Sting, Ray Charles, and George Michael. MC's career has been lacking in that area by no fault of her own. Timing and personal reasons just got in MC's way to collaborate with more diverse artists.

I agree, Randy. And this whole thing started with the "white girl trying to sing black" BS that was used to undermine her. None of the people you mentioned wrote every song on their first album and continued to write and produce on subsequent albums. The industry has never given her the respect she deserves because they never bothered to look beneath the surface level journalistic takes written about her in the 90s and beyond. That's why the Craig Seymour interview from 1999 is so important and one of her best interviews. She's able to elaborate in detail about how critics created this overly simplistic racialist narrative about her (and honestly re-traumatize her in the process), claiming that she never did R&B/club-inspired records before the "Fantasy" remix or the "Butterfly" album and claiming that she was just a middle of the road adult contemporary artist. The reality is that "Emotions" was heavily influenced by R&B, soul, club, and gospel music. And even the stuff on the debut and "Music Box" was. I mean, did these people even listen to the albums?

Y'all know I've been critical of MC due to lip syncing and such but this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing is getting me down. All of her peers, and I mean all of them, are in there. Mary, Whitney, Madonna and Janet. This is exactly in line with a lot of us have been saying for years. The industry doesn't respect her or her accomplishments. Look at her tributes. Look at her award count. Like this kinda matters. But ok. I'm beating another dead horse as y'all point out with me constantly.

I'm not sure I agree with Mariah's thoughts on Terrence Howard for the role of Dice. I think Max Beesley worked well because of his acting talent and because he was also a musician. I do not agree that Beesley was chosen over Howard due to racism.
I'm also not a fan of Terrence Howard as a person because of his history of misogyny and abuse of women. One of the incidents happened around the time he was cast in "Glitter". There are better African-American male actors who actually treat women with respect and decency.

While we are in the topic of Mariah's movies, I remember Mariah wrote in her book that she wanted Terrence Howard to play the male lead for Glitter (at that time it was called All That Glitters). If only those powers that be listened to her, then maybe the fate of the movie would turn out different and they would just release the Loverboy (Firecracker version) because the chorus is so much fun, catchy and boppy. Plus if the movie did well and the first single did well too, then there would be no breakdown episode of Mariah and subsequently there would be no mockery of Mariah in all the medias at that time.

Well, I think Mariah was actively discouraged by Tommy to take roles that she was offered in the 1990s. She has alluded to the fact that there were film roles offered to her that made other people movie stars. I also think a lot of her efforts to break into movies during the 1997-2001 period were derailed and sabotaged. If you recall, she cut her Butterfly Tour short because she wanted to do a movie called "Double O Soul" with Chris Tucker but then Tucker backed out, leaving Mariah with nothing to show for her investment in that project. She was also attached to a project called "The Sweet Science", which seemed very interesting but never came to fruition (most likely due to the response to "Glitter"). "Wisegirls" never went anywhere outside of the Sundance circuit, even though it was an interesting project.
The role she took in "Tennessee" was solid and her role in "Precious" was small but interesting. I think she could get away with another attempt at making movies. Whitney did "Sparkle" pretty late in her career. Diana Ross did a few made for TV films in the 90s when she was in her 50s. It's still possible for Mariah to do something different if she wants to.

Do you think Mariah's movie career mirrors Madonna? Madonna found her acting niche with Evita. She kept at acting and finally received recognition for her portrayal of Eva Peron. So, what I am trying to say is that MC should have kept at acting more after the The Butler. However, I think it is too late now for MC to even come close to receiving the movies roles that Madonna has had in her career. Who knows? Maybe she will prove me wrong.

I was also there in the 90s watching Mariah's career. Mariah was commercially successful in the 90s but not respected by the industry or by critics. It really all started when Nelson George referred to her as a "white girl trying to sing black" and also reverberated with the 1996 Grammys snub. I also remember Sandra Bernhardt directing some really racist statements at Mariah in the late 1990s (statements I won't repeat here because they are awful). It was never "cool" to like Mariah until very recently. I remember all of the thinly veiled homophobia that was directed at me during middle school and high school because I loved Mariah.
"The Bodyguard" has great songs on the soundtrack, but the film itself and the acting are not good at all. There was definitely a reason why the film had sat in development purgatory since the mid 1970s. It was originally intended for Diana Ross. I doubt that it would have been produced if Whitney hadn't been the huge star she was in the late 80s/early 90s. Whitney was good in "Waiting to Exhale", for sure, but that's as much due to Forest Whitaker's excellent job directing as it was due to Whitney's acting.
I believe "Glitter" could have done just as well as "The Bodyguard" if there hadn't been so much venom directed at Mariah in the late 1990s/early 2000s and if there hadn't been so many issues that Mariah had to deal with during the 1997-2001 period of her career.

Glitter was a great idea, it just didn't pan out that way in reality. Whether the songs were written for her or not, they were absolutely some of the best of Whitney's career. I love the [Glitter] album, some of Mariah's best vocal performances are on it, but as a whole it isn't as superior as The Bodyguard. That film was one of the biggest films and soundtracks of the 1990's. The public reaction to it and the music was and still is unparalleled. Kevin and Whitney had a great bond, he even spoke at her funeral.
And when was Mariah rejected in the 1990's? From what I remember and I was there she was adored in the 1990's, it was only when she began to act that things started falling apart for her, yes there was other contributing factors, but she pushed herself into a project that unfortunately was a none starter.

Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner had *zero* chemistry in "The Bodyguard", and the songs she recorded were all written by other people except for "Queen of the Night".
"Glitter" is a superior project in every respect. Mariah's approach to acting was more endearing and humble than Whitney's. The chemistry with Max Beesley, though he wasn't the first choice for the role, was better. Mariah poured her heart and soul into the songs she wrote for the soundtrack. The only reason why people retrospectively think of "The Bodyguard" as better is because the soundtrack and film were very commercially successful. The film itself received poor reviews and is just incredibly dull in comparison to "Glitter", which took more risks.
I'm willing to fight the battle for "Glitter" because the way people rejected it, for me, symbolizes the way that people rejected Mariah in the 1990s.

Yes, [I've] seen all those. Glitter is no way better than [The Bodyguard] I'm sorry. Tennessee and Wise Girls are better, but I still think Mariah is best off not acting, she's just not natural enough at it which is a shame, but you either have it or you don't. Jennifer Lopez and Whitney Houston are great actors. I enjoy their films, especially Maid In Manhattan and Waiting to Exhale. Whilst I enjoyed Wise Girls, and her acting wasn't bad, it's certainly not the best, she tries [too] hard, it doesn't come naturally with her.

I highly recommend that you watch "Wisegirls" and "Tennessee" in addition to "Precious" if you haven't. The roles that Mariah took in those movies are much more substantial and grittier than the parts in "Precious" and "The Butler", and they really allowed her acting talent to shine through. That song "Right to Dream" from "Tennessee" is just incredible.
I honestly think "Glitter" is worthy of reappraisal - I often wonder if substantial portions of the filmed scenes were cut out to get the PG-13 rating and to adjust for the fact that Tommy and J. Lo sabotaged the "Loverboy" single, which was an integral element of the movie's plot. They definitely had to add the new version of "Loverboy" in during post-production. To me, Mariah's almost "awkward" portrayal of Billie works well because it lends an honesty and authenticity to the insecurity Billie feels from being abandoned by her father and mother and how she feels as a mixed race person. You can tell that, like Mariah, Billie worries that the rug can be pulled out from under her at any moment.
She worked with a very non-mainstream director (Vondie Curtis-Hall), whose only other film credit at the time was "Gridlock'd" with Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth. She made very non-mainstream choices for which music from the 80s to focus on (R&B and club scene rather than pop). It seemed like all of the elements were there for something great and interesting. But the filming delays, the last minute pivot to the "Rainbow" album, the sabotage of the soundtrack, the delayed releases, Mariah's mental health struggles. It all felt so unfair to Mariah, and she just kept getting hit with poison darts left and right from basically 1998 to 2001. The reviews for "Glitter" were bad, but I think hardly anyone saw it (including critics). The film is definitely better than "The Bodyguard" in my opinion.

Precious (108,311)

While there's a discussion about a movie, I want to share my thoughts on Mariah Carey's performance in "Precious". Yes, if it's a crime that I watched it just last month, then I am guilty. Although this may have been said years ago when it was released, I still feel it's worth mentioning.
I was completely surprised by how good Mariah was in her scenes. I had seen her cameo in "The Butler", but it was not long enough to showcase her acting skills. However, in "Precious", she was truly amazing. With little to no makeup and an unglamorous hairstyle and wardrobe, she absolutely nailed the look and the role of a social worker. In her second scene, where she provided counseling, she was exceptional. As a therapist myself, I can say she captured that character perfectly.
If Mariah really wants to break into movies, she could pursue more roles like that, which are quite different from her real-life persona. She clearly has the talent, she just needs more opportunities like this.

I always thought Mariah's best interviews with were people like Donny Simpson, Craig Seymour, etc. The interviews she did with them always went beneath the surface and challenged Mariah to reveal different sides of herself.

I can't stand Oprah. She thinks she's better than everyone else. Her condescending attitude is so off putting.

BFF, until we can get what Summer Walker says in her songs to hook men, the single life will stick around for us. Seriously, I have given up on finding love. I have come to the conclusion that having a someone in my life is not going to happen at this point in my life. Sad, but true for me.

So I've gone from singing "Lead the Way" to pumping "Breakdown" in the span of three weeks. Mariah really knows how to sing/write a song about emotionally unavailable men. I was getting all of these signals from him for weeks and this week all of a sudden it's like I've been iced out. I'm all up in my feelings.

Randy, your post reminds me of how many artists missed out on #1 records because their labels wouldn't issue CD Singles. "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia, "Don't Speak" by No Doubt, "I'll Be There for You" by the Rembrandts, "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees, "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, and the goes on.
Here's a full list of Airplay Only hits if you need it.

You know MC wouldn't be in this situation if we still had "the CD". I hate to sound old like a Generation X-er but there was a magic to going to the store, tearing the cellophane off, ripping that annoying plastic tape off the top and opening a disc. Reading the producers, songwriters and thank you's. Mariah could be making music and making money from that. But now that everything is free once it hits the internet she has to tour. In a way, I was glad because the record companies were greedy. Refusing to issue singles in the late 90s to force you to buy a whole album that may suck. Natalie Imbruglia anyone? But ultimately digital music failed the artists most. There's a coupe of great documentaries on it too. Oh well. I like retelling the experience to my nieces and nephews about how I was in Sam Goody buying Glitter when the towers fell. They look up and ask Uncle Randy, why were you buying supplies to make arts and crafts?

Why are MC's live performances of My All from 1997-1999 some of the best of her career? MC's live performances during that time period make any Lamb very proud.
