"Runway" is one of her worst songs. Lies! It's okay but I can list so many worse songs she has ever made.

Runway is dope. The sample and vocal approach is very much on trend with what R&B is doing right now. What drags the song down however is that dated ass percussion beat.

Great read regarding Passing and tie-in to Mariah's memoir The Fiction of the Color Line Black women writers have long used passing stories to crack our façades of race, class, and gender.Passing explores what it means to be a passable woman within a larger community. Caucasia focuses on the effects of passing within a family. The Meaning of Mariah Carey explores both but also describes the mechanics and utility of maintaining a passable image — or, as Carey puts it, “inconspicuous Blackness” — for global consumption. Although the kind of money, status, and fame Carey has attained should perhaps exempt her from feeling as if she needs to explain herself, in her memoir she seems to feel a responsibility to share the intimacies of her identity with an audience.

Has the Xmas song with Khalid been announced yet?? It's really nice, it's more of a classic Mariah sound than it is a xmas one. Very 90's. Out on the 4rth.

Is he in the song or they are sampling one of his songs? I'm not familiar with his work, but I guess he is the one at the end of the song? There's a bit of a choir moment. It's a long song, a bit over 5 minutes.

She's pushing Crypto now? Mariah, no! At least there's a charity component to this.

He points out a lot of cool nuances. He stops his videos way too much. I know there are copyrights but he don't need to pause every 2 seconds

It's a long song, a bit over 5 minutes. Most importantly, how does Mariah sound? He stops the video way too much. I know there are copyrights but he don't need to pause every 2 seconds Lol agreed, but still worth a watch.

Wait a moment, do people already know details about the Christmas collaboration Mariah was hyping during the summer?
One: thank goodness Post Malone wasn't the featured artist. I adore his voice and music, but I simply cannot imagine him on a Christmas song with Mariah, especially the R&B + gospel-tinged tune she was hinting. I would be all for a "Right To Dream"/"Stay" type of collaboration between them, though.
Two: Khalid and Kirk Franklin are really promising choices, though once again, I would have preferred Khalid to work with Mariah on a non-festive tune à la "8th Grade"/"Caution"/"Love Lies". The potential is there, however, and I trust Mariah to give us something great.

The VOL one and Stevie Wonder tribute are excellent! I like these more because it was a moment when Mariah was seen as past her vocal prime, but he brings so much awareness to just how brilliant the things she was doing with her voice at this point were. I love that he says her voice has more power in 2005 than ten years prior, not only because I agree but because it's probably my favorite vocal era for her (the moment in an artist's life when their artistic maturity matches their technical ability). Also really wild how he talks about Mariah's absolute brilliance with the mic. For years I thought it was a fun, silly performative thing, but hearing how thought out it was is incredible.

All of this. I get that he stops a lot and it does get annoying, but he also recognizes a lot of great things about Mariah as a singer and a performer.

Looking like Caution-riah. She looks gorgeous and very Cautionriah/2019riah indeed. She's also being filmed from her "bad" side. Truly an unbothered, secure in herself Queen. 😍

I would love for Mariah to do a more impromptu scenario where she goes through and performs tracks from each of her albums, and she also discusses each album. She talks about tracks she likes, tracks she might have done differently, tracks she doesn’t feel now for whatever reason. I would love to see it.

I know there are copyrights but he don't need to pause every 2 seconds The point is to analyze the vocal performance and what she’s doing. Why is this a complaint? If you wanted to watch the performance, just go to that video and watch it. The point is the commentary and analysis.
