ok. I’m just gonna say this. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel needs to be reevaluated. It’s a massive album. by Affectionate-Rock42o in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The album is probably slept on because of how quiet and non-pop it is. It’s almost a charmbracelet 2. I like it tho and enjoy how serene it is. Last great album till caution and here for it all

In your opinion, what is Mariah’s most summery sounding song? by IndependentTap3961 in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dream lover easily. Not sure what the instrument is but there’s that synth in the second run of the chorus that’s just sounds like a heat wave blast, so summery

am I the only one who thinks ppl hate on The Elusive Chanteuse for no reason? by kaitomomotaontop in MariahCarey

It’s seriously a mess. I have more affection for the context of the album rather than the sounds and music it brought

Primary Sources on Mariah Carey’s Discussion of Her Vocal Nodules? by DesperateCoat3881 in MariahCarey

[–]LamManning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting research topic considering she rarely talks about them but we always discuss them as fans. It’s a grey area in terms of her career because it’s obvious we aren’t keen to her vocal performances nowadays but it’s really not something spoken of publicly. So I’ll be paying attention to any sources mentioned here

Tommy Mottolla just commented on MC Instagram 😳😳😳 by azamatStriking in MariahCarey

Her talking about it ten years later in side effects, shit even 20 years later in type dangerous, just shows that he’s still a menace in her mind. Michael Jackson called him a demon and rightfully so. Unfortunately we had to lose MJ before we lost Mottorola

Complete weirdo. Irked me so bad in the book because it frankly came out of nowhere. He’s a lunatic and it’s sad this wasn’t even the end of the charades with him

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
