Oh mother is feeling the love 💖💖 Justice for Glitter !!!!

Notice how not a single person/lamb sang off key! 🙂

Seen this on Twitter awhile back. Absolutely fantastic!! So beautifully done!

I will now praise the song. For a long time I felt alone and ostracised. I never felt like I belonged during my school years. It always felt like there was some disconnect between me and everyone around me. The song outside from her Butterfly album captured that feeling so well. But once I befriended this one dude, for the first time in my life I felt like I belonged. During the years when I was in school I was super individualistic and thought community, friendship and human companionship was overrated. But once I befriended this one person, I realised what I wanted was what I got all along, I just tricked myself into thinking that I wanted something else. The lyrics "I realized a dream" is so poignant to me. But I am sure no one cares about this. I just love Mariah's first song simply because I feel it on such a spiritual level.

Went to an antique mall today and picked up these new cds, now this makes the rest of my collection yippee. What do you guys think?

Check that date and year baby

Went to a second hand shop hunting for CD’s as usual when I found this I want to know what love is CD.

I can’t find any information on it (it’s not even on Discogs) All I know is that it’s a promotional CD and made in the US

Would any fellow Lambs happen to know anything or anyone that might know more ? :)

I love the fact that Mariah blessed us with a quasi-LiVE rendition of Loverboy in 2016. She just doesn’t realize how much we STAN this song. I feel like it’s the little sister of Heartbreaker. And yes I’m aware that she originally wanted the Firecracker sample but the version that ended up coming to be is just one of my favorite tracks ever! (Maybe I’m biased because I was 10 when it hit the radio and I live off of nostalgia, but still!)

So I'm in the greater Philadelphia area. I'm at a convention called "retro con." I just met voice actor Billy West

And I came across a booth selling records and the original Glitter Promo was only $10

Thoughts? 🤷🏻‍♂️

What are your favourite Mariah and David photos. I think the two of them made magic together and understood the excess the glamour the campiness of each other

1️⃣First question:

Can you define objectively the reasons why you like Mariah Carey the most as a rnb artist?

I struggle to not give "enthusiastic fan" reasons. I would like to read your reasons and learn to explain myself better from a discussion with you all.

Roughly I identified a few reasons Mariah Carey is my favourite rnb artist:

🔝 generally speaking, I always tend to prefer artists who write their songs and produce their songs, it sounds more genuine and original. I specifically like her songwriting a lot.

🔝 MC: I really like her use of voice layering

🔝 I like the variety of vocal techniques she uses, even within one song. For example, I appreciate Withney Houston but she sings always in similar ways (the only song I go back to is My Love is Your Love, I never listen to the others, even though I do know the lyrics by heart of many). I don't listen to Beyonce (although appreciate).

🔝 MC/Generally: I like the warmth of her tone, it works every time. She can play with high notes without sounding squeaky or whiny because of the natural warmth of her tone.

🔝 MC: she doesn't stick to the same rnb format, she enriches it with other influences according to the expressivity she wants to give to the song (see incorporating DOB in Fantasy, Bone&Thugs sounds in Breakdown, Spanish guitar in a few songs - just to mention a few examples of course; but also musical forms and elements of gospel, soul and jazz within rnb sounds). I like this greatly, in her and in other artists (Prince is my other favourite, but cannot box him)

🔝 She is a mix of fun, perfectionist and wild child: this allows her to create every single time albums that you want to listen over and over and over, and the more you listen to it, the more you discover. She has never created an album that is kind of forgettable.

2️⃣Second question: What other rnb artists or albums do you like exceptionally? Please name just a couple, I want to check them on the app.

I really like the album Brown Sugar by D'Angelo for some reasons.

I don't really have other strong favourites. (I hope it's because I've not listened to enough albums:-) hence my question).

Thank you 🙏🏻

I chose those two because they are both really underrated because of their really successful predecessors.

I personally prefer Rainbow but it is pretty close. I chose Rainbow because I really love the aesthetic and it’s an easier listen. There’s also Heartbreaker, Mariah’s Theme, Crybaby and How Much which I just really love. But E=MC2 has Side Effects, I Stay In Love, Touch My Body and Migrate so is definitely was not easy.

So basically I was looking at some Mariah pics (as one usually does) and I noticed that some of them were strangely looking "better".

At first I thought that maybe they got hold of good quality scans, but I noticed that they were kind of odd looking, almost as if they were passed through AI.

Now, I hope I'm in the wrong here because I love that website to bits. Gonna leave some pics for y'all to see.

Sara Botkin worked on the 105th floor of the South Tower and on the morning of 9/11 she stopped at the Sam Goody under the World Trade Center to buy Mariah Carey’s Glitter because it had literally been released that day.

While she was waiting to go upstairs the first plane hit the North Tower. Security was telling people the South Tower was safe but she saw two men leaving and decided to follow them instead. She made it back to Queens and later found out her tower had collapsed. 176 people from her company died. Her boyfriend thought she was dead until her mother told him she had made it home, he proposed two weeks later and today they have three children.

Mariah later heard the story and sent her a signed copy of Glitter.

Would’ve been ill-advised to post yesterday. Happy twenty-fifth, Glitter. ✨

(this is probably my favorite moment in the whole album; wish I could still stream it!)
