The "Forever" chorus literally sweeps you up off your feet and takes you for a waltz in the stars.

One of those pristine ballads that combines so many eras in a perfect mesh of vocal sublime bliss....I literally remembering hearing the first time and saying " she isn't human". Her voice sounds so clear and effortless and TONE, TONE, TONE. In her prime Mariah was vocally unmatched. Its not just what she could do with her voice, its just that when she uses it right its so freaking beautiful.

Glad this isn't top 3; Melt Away is far better.

I actually remember "Underneath the Stars" as a song stans at the time discussed in terms of her vocals. The airy vocal on it got real attention, though in a positive way as it highlights the fluttery nature of the song. I love the way the vocal builds; light and airy (and innocent) for the 1st verse, then more full parts as "the heat of desire" moves in, and then sweet vocals on the bridge but with the yearning ad-libs. Soooo I guess I need to listen to this one a few more times y/y? 😬 Um, yes. In particular make a point to listen with headphones. The vocal arrangement is unreal.

I love this song and the remix:
I think her airy vocals definitely brought a lot to the song.

This one goes out to dbhmr lol (and yes, put your headphones on) Forever always reminds me of a sock hop. Not an insult, it's just that kind of vibe. It belongs in a movie. I'm pleasantly surprised that Melt Away made top 3! I underranked it myself, but her low notes on those verses are like butter. Fantasy and ABMB making top three (and lbr, probably our top two) isn't a surprise at all, but it's a welcome kind of predictability. You just can't deny pop perfection.

I'd love for the lost UTS music video to be found in the Sony vaults one day (although I'm guessing the video was never actually completed)

Of course, the full video of the St John the Divine concert is a long last fan desire. I'm 95% sure the only reason we haven't seen it is Mariah doesn't like her hair/outfit.

I’m so disappointed in some of you ( dbhmr I expected so much more from you! I was rooting for you! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! 😭). Now that my OTT histrionics are over, UTS is a classic. That vocal arrangement is sublime. Mariah’s pen is in top-notch condition. The vocal is both understated in parts and completely soaring in others. It all creates an otherworldly, transcendent vibe. Ugh. I literally had the album and Tokyo Dome versions on repeat for an entire finals period in college. My love. 😘 I’m surprised “Melt Away” is so high. I really struggled ranking the top six. So, I’m not mad at any of the outcome. I honestly probably underranked it.

Ugh. One of my favorite songs of all time! She captured the period perfectly and I was sooo stoked to see it on the 2001 GH album. Sublime. Epic. Just 10s across the board!

"Nelt Away" is one of those tracks that just capture you. There's no escaping it.
