fitandtanned I don't agree on the albums and moments and don't remember EFA but I love how you think outside the box! I thought the reason Mariah was late was a known fact or already reported Id love to hear yours. I must insist that you youtube EFA immediately and listen to it. My favorite Mariah song: H.A.T.E. U. (used to be Breakdown/Close My Eyes tie) My favorite Mariah album: MIAMTEC MOMENT: After the key change in Supernatural til she stops singing. Pure sickness.

Since we're all doing this: My favorite Mariah song: Fantasy (The remixes as well as the incredible original really make this quite the experience) It used to be Always Be My Baby but it has shifted. My favorite album track: Melt Away (Love her lower register on that one) My favorite Mariah album: Daydream (That album has 60% of my top 5 songs from her. It's that good) MOMENT: The final bridge leading up to that final chrous in Always Be My Baby. The lyrics, vocal layering, it's all superb.

Her 1990-1994 voice is the best voice I've heard in my life. It's nuts. Ariane new Mariah MY ASS! Yeah the comparison is just ludicrous. Ariana sounds nothing like this. Gonna piggyback on this and add her SNL version of If It's Over. Complete vocal PERFECTION. If the world would just remember how immaculate her voice was....we wouldn't be seeing these useless comparisons. Added bonus: Can't Let Go MTV Unplugged is heavenly. Actually, the entire MTV Unplugged special is fantastic. Whatever she did within her first 6 years cemented a lifelong fanboy outta me.

My favorite Mariah song: Anytime You Need A Friend followed by Butterfly. My favorite Mariah album: Daydream Moment: So many! One the comes to mind right now is the bridge in All I Ever Wanted. "And I don't want to face....another dayyyyyy..aloneeee...Withoutttttt your loveeeeeeeeeee" Crazy good. Live Moment: Again, so many! I love her performance of I Don't Wanna Cry in Tokyo during the Daydream tour. The subtle and beautiful whistle in the Born Again with John Legend at Vh1's Save the Music special. Her performance of My All and Butterfly in SNL. Her Grammy performance of If Its Over. Her We Belong Together and Vision of Love at the BET Blueprint special. Her tribute to Patti singing If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Her performance of My Saving Grace on Oprah. I could go on and on..

eta: @spiritanimal I think you just broke my notifications. It was a flawless chart. If I had my way I would make the board all Mariah related threads and topics, old urban song discussion and RT. I would ship everyone else out! Sorry my pop friends but i can live without you.

But that's practically what you've done with this place already. There has to be some talk about lessers because when you're on top you can't help but look down at them.

That's one of the things I love most about Mariah. She has such a vast body of work that fans can choose from a variety of albums, tracks, moments, etc. as their favorites. I feel like I am rarely in agreement when it comes to what I want from Mariah (when her first 4 albums came out, I loved them more than life itself and, as Mariah went full R&B, I pretty much followed her and pay those albums dust), but those albums hold such great memories for me and also, they set the tone for the legend that she became.

You guys are weak if you can actually choose a favorite Mariah song. Or maybe I'm the weak one! lol
It's too difficult.
In terms of albums tho, Butterfly > Daydream > MOAIA > Emotions > TEOM > the rest.

Jam! It was an international track for MB. It's probably actually my least favorite on the album, but because literally every song on that album slays me, it's still a great song.

I prefer the solo version, Mario. But I don't mind the duet.

Do you guys prefer the duet or solo? "WCC" is one of the few times I prefer the duet version. For me the song has such a celebratory message that it makes sense to have someone else singing with Mariah; it gives it more of a family/group vibe. Love it.

There is something magical that happens when you combine two perfectly soulful vocals. Mariah and John Legend are magical together! I need a non christmas song from them.

I definitely get what your saying here, never looked at it that way before. However, I just don't feel like their voices mesh well on this track and I didn't really enjoy John Legend's delivery. I loved their performance of WYIBA but...I feel like she could have picked a different male vocalist for this collaboration.

Thumbs down to the John version. I like him, but I prefer the song without him. Never cared for cut and paste duets.
