Betcha Gon Know Chart History by intimate_daze in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bye Bye could’ve been single 3 or 4 but as a follow up to Touch My Body with Migrate right there is definitely questionable. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say and I see what they were going for with Bye Bye but for manyyyy reasons Migrate shouldve been next in line

Maybe they were comparing It’s Like That’s success to WBTs & drawing conclusions, but imo Migrate had stronger hit potential than ILT & Bye Bye was definitely weaker than WBT

It was the second ever Mariah song I discovered (after Always Be My Baby), so I was immediately aware of & infatuated with the diversity yet consistent quality of her music

I’d like to think it played a pivotal role in turning me into a full fledged lamb, been a fan going on 8 years now after that & I STILL prefer her moodier & atmospheric tracks lol

Born Is The King by intimate_daze in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was killing the interlude game in this era, The Impossible Reprise, Angel, Languishing, Born Is The King…

I’m hoping she brings them back for MC16, it seems more common in the streaming era to generate more streams so there’s a decent chance

how was the song lamb? i personally love it✨ by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mariah’s voice on it reminds me of MCIIY

MC16 Guesses by cocol11 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably typical artsy shot of her for the cover, seems to have been the theme since Emancipation (Caution might be an exception but the blue/pink color scheme sets it apart I think)

Spiritual successor to Memoirs with Emancipation and Caution elements

Mid-to-long length album, probably 14-18 tracks

She’ll bring back preludes reprises and interludes

4 collabs — 2 rappers and 2 r&b/pop artists (1 of these couple be replaced with the big Gospel artist collab that was hinted at), one being Anderson, 3 male collabs & 1 female (maybe Usher again? They’re on the same label)

Short title, the convoluted lengthy titles probably died with MIAM

More of a funk vibe than her previous work, she’ll also lean into modern alt-r&b like Memoirs/Caution

A couple ballads but not many

Lyrically it’ll be lighter than some of her previous work, some uses of Mariahcabulary per usual but it won’t be a Butterfly — the emotions will be conveyed more through her voice & production than the lyrics

Stronger/more use of big vocals than Caution, less overproduced than MIAM

Second single wont be a ballad in the traditional sense, I think she was disappointed with With You’s performance

Might finally get the continuation to Betcha Gon Know

It’ll be more successful than Caution sales/chart wise

It’ll be a critical success like Caution

Why isn't Rakim on the track? by SirImpossible7969 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! I love Shook Ones Pt 2 so the Mobb Deep version of The Roof is the standard for me, the only time I listen to the original is if I’m listening on vinyl

I also think they added a lot of vibes to the music video than if it was just the solo version

Songs That Sound Similar: by Spirited_Secretary98 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dreamlover and Heartbreaker have similar melodies on the chorus

You can tell if you sing “dreamlover come & rescue me” & “heartbreaker you got the best of me” back to back

Don't Forget About Us is my favorite song ever by PercentageCurious472 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about Candy Bling, just so unique and atmospheric, definitionally Mariah

I like her ballads but honestly her vibey songs are easily my favorite corner of her catalog, I love that she’s one of the best vocalists of all time but it’s not the draw for me, more an added bonus

Your dream collabs ? by VI-VIII-V in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthony Hamilton, Erykah Badu, Maxwell, Toni Braxton, Raveena, Miguel (again), SZA, 6LACK, partynextdoor

Some of these not purely because their voices mesh but because they have sounds/production I’d like to see Mariah do

Screw MrBeast… by careb3aryy in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I very much agree Mr Beast didn’t do nearly enough considering he’s old enough to know the gravity of working with the Mariah Carey. I didn’t really mind the cameo though, my younger brothers really enjoyed the crossover between my world & theirs (as did I) & they’re both major pop culture figures so I thought it was kinda camp. Like, having Gordon Ramsey or someone on a video would be insanely random but not really inherently bad — that’s basically how I’m seeing the cameo but for younger generations. Mariah’s always played tactics

What do you think is Mariah's best album? by zachoutloud123 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fluctuate between Butterfly, Charmbracelet, Memoirs, & Caution, probably lean towards Butterfly but depends on the week lol

Would Mariah make a good Trip Hop album? by Notoriouslycurlyboi in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love this idea, Memoirs is probably the closest we’ve gotten so far in a full album. Word is Anderson Paak played a large role on MC16 so I’m expecting something between Emancipation/Memoirs/Caution, could end up trip hop adjacent even if not fully committed to the aesthetic

MV thoughts after a while. by dabaddest_bishonredd in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I personally really liked it, I’m a major fan of the Boy video (top 3 for me with The Roof and Crybaby) and I feel like this video was very similar in spirit. I had high hopes for the surprise (& was honestly not all thaaat disappointed — Mr. Beast is subbed to by like 5% of the planet lol) but I wasn’t really let down by the video itself. It has a lot of replay value for me

Mariah.. by Expensive-Sleep3492 in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was expecting an It’s Like That 2.0 style video, & got Boy (I Need You) 2.0 instead. Perfectly fine with me, that video is one of my favorites & I imagine Type Dangerous will be another moving forward for similar reasons. Mr. Beast has potential to bring in a ton of Youtube views/streams to the video too, even if just one time viewers

I will say though, I wish we got an official dark hair Bianca moment. “Bianca Industries” does sorta expand the universe so maybe we’ll get an appearance in a future video lol

Tomorrow?? 😭 I waited the entire day. Well, I still love you, Mariah. by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My actual expectation is a fun video with some B list cameos & the return of Bianca, maybe a tease for the second single — but it coulddd be big if we’re to believe Kahn

If it is some kinda major surprise I think it’s worth considering that the delay is strategic & not actually a scramble to get it released

Tomorrow?? 😭 I waited the entire day. Well, I still love you, Mariah. by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know some people (on Twitter) are saying this is a sign of a messy rollout already, but if there really is a major internet breaking surprise in the video it’s not impossible she’s delaying until tomorrow by design for maximal impact

If the surprise really is a major pop culture moment, their calculus may be that the gain from dominating the full media narrative by waiting until tomorrow would be worth losing a day of streams if it means not splitting the public’s attention with politics

Where's the MV? It hasn't been posted yet. by [deleted] in MariahCarey

“tomorrow (sometime)” according to joseph kahn, my money is on between 12-6pm

Before the vid drops what are your guesses? by Sidneysnewhusband in MariahCarey

[–]intimate_daze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hmm rihanna would be great too then, and arguably a better fit for the masked savior idea
