Least favorite Mariah's uptempo Hot 100 no. 1?

[leoapp]

Which one is your least favorite among these 5 Mariah's uptempo Hot 100 no. 1 smash?

Please use the original version of Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker

Emotions: her record-breaking 5th consecutive no.1 since her debut single, infamous for its super high whistle notes

Dreamlover: her first massive hit, the beginning of her worldwide domination, accompanied by her worldwide best selling album ever, Music Box.

Fantasy: the first song by a solo female artist to debut at no. 1, her first music video to be directed by herself. The ODB remix version was a history, made popular trend for popstar-rapper collaboration.

Honey: her 3rd song to debut at no.1, a record for pre-streaming era, infamous for its music video, a beginning of sexy and provocative Mariah's image.

Heartbreaker: her 14th no. 1, made her the only musician to date, to score a no.1 hit, each year in a decade.

You forgot Someday! You are forgetful, dahhling! Oh nvmd, I see you put it in the forgotten/weak #1s poll

I voted 'like all.' But if I had to to choose one that I like just a bit less than the others, I guess Heartbreaker would be it.

I have to say Dreamlover. I like the climax and the whistle in the beginning. But overall the song is a bit boring. Not bad though.

might be more midtempo but probably my least favorite is Touch My Body.

Thank you for that last option. I don't dislike any of these.

I second back2blk 's sentiment. They are all excellent songs, so I'm grateful for the 'like all' option.

So glad "Heartbreaker" is the only one with zero votes so far, as I feared it would be the most popular option. The sample is so well integrated into the song, and it's just such a feel-good tune - definitely one of her most underrated #1s among the uptempos.

I voted for all of them, I love them all. You just can't go wrong with either one of these records.

Heartbreaker is imo always quite underrated among these 5. I remember many people (in some forums) consider it not among her classics. But, very surprised in this forum, it gets the least dislike.
Good!

Dreamlover is the only one I rarely ever play. I absolutely love all of the rest.

"Heartbreaker" and "Honey" are probably the two I listen to the least.

Honey gets the least loves...
I know that some people consider it's not that catchy.
It was a huge event in term of Mariah's style changing.
But actually, it wasnt a huge hit in Europe. Heartbreaker did much better chart-wise.

The chorus of "Honey" is less immediately catchy and is slinky. It also basically has 3 choruses lol.

"Dreamlover" - I've never really "liked" it and my Mother's 1993-1995 obsession with it didn't do it any favors, so that one.

ETA: "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is an uptempo as well.

How did “Fantasy” get 3 votes. In what world is that anybody’s least favorite Mariah song.

I feel like “Emotions” is more iconic than “Dreamlover.” But “Dreamlover” basically started the formula that led to all her other uptempo 1st singles. But in retrospect it’s kind of regarded as a more vanilla “Fantasy,” the song that’s the tent pole of this match up. “Fantasy” is THE essential Mariah uptempo song and I don’t think anyone would dispute that. “Heartbreaker” is in a way, a repeat of “Fantasy” but it’s still catchy and fun.

That leaves “Honey” as the weakest one. Her vocals are a little subdue on it and many will say this is the song that started her “whisper.”

I voted "Heartbreaker". The DJ Clue remix is the superior version.

[Ginger Spice]

"Dreamlover" is my least favorite of the options, but I like or love all.

[samo🦕]

all good songs but Heartbreaker is definitely my least favourite (with Fantasy a way below the other three)

[NeRD]

I don't dislike any but Emotions is probably my least favorite of the bunch.

I voted for "Like all", but if this option wasn't available, I would have probably went for "Emotions" as well. It's the weakest lyrically, and it borrows too heavily on The Emotions' "Best Of My Love", which happens to be one of my top favorite songs. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's rightfully one of Mariah's classics, and her vocal showcase remains legendary to this day, but I just gravitate towards the other four much more.

[Ling-Ling]

Love all of them. But I revisit "Fantasy" the least.

[Deleted]

Obviously I love them all but if I had to choose I would pick "Dream Lover" listen to it least out of the choices.

[leoapp]

An uptempo no. 1 from her best selling album worlwide so far gets the least love!!!
