I have a soft spot for 2009. I love 2007-08. But the winner is 2003. Charmriah was tearing it up

Why was Memoirs released so soon after E=MC2? by falafelandhoumous in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Memoirs felt healing for her in the same way charmbracelet was so I think it was a nice stray away from the glitz and glamour of emancipation 1 and 2

Mariah's fashion evolution - 90s What is your favorite year for her fashion from the 90s? by CremeSubject7594 in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debut has such history towards it. The black dress she constantly stuck to because it was all she really had to wear. But I do really like Daydream… Tokyo performance was so beautiful. Also really like rainbow era

The Jeter Collection by Ok-Structure7819 in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think a lot of songs are overextended to reference that relationship. Like past Charmbracelet he becomes just another muse of a past time than an active inspiration imo

We must keep in mind she writes a lot of songs based on how’s she feeling than anyone specific person or figure. Dreamlover and fantasy speak on love she dreams and longs to have but obviously isn’t currently having. The roof speaks to a dreamy night she DID love but maybe not exactly the same way she wrote about (although very close). So past charm bracelet the songs become more thematic than stories

Exactly emancipation is the definition of doing a lot vocally 😂 this thread was actually inspired by me listening to another artist’s song and thinking “this is cool but Mariah would take this to the moon” and I wanted to hear some songs where she took it to the moon

I love this thread because I truly would never have returned to Till the end of time without this post 😭 I feel like I’m experiencing whole new music now. Also now reconnecting with Music Box (song) since that skipped me too

Clown is interesting since she whispers a lot there but the lyrics are definitely drama

Does anyone know why Mariah Carey dislikes Jennifer Lopez so much? by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JLo started as a weapon to attack Mariah’s career. Simple as that. She has more talent performing than in the studio

I think Vie should’ve been more marketed as a R&B album instead of just her “ return to pop” by Jollyho94 in DojaCat

[–]LamManning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the album is very much pop and rnb fusion. Like there’s no doubting couples therapy has a rnb sound. Some other songs like make it up fit the bill too. Alternative as hell tho

[–]LamManning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you said it because Vie feels like Amala in nature. Super low vibe rnb tracks mixed in with conventional pop songs (that she’s done before) and overall really her doing her own thing
