Saint Mary Whip's generous Music Box Tour giveaway has me wondering. How do you guys organize your iTunes?

Like when it comes to artists where you can excessive amounts of material, like Mariah's live performances and remixes.

Up until now I've just added songs to their respective album/era, but I'm thinking there's a better way of doing it. The extra material kinda messes with the album's flow.

I cant wait till Mariah goes on a world tour again.
I'll put So Blessed & When I Saw You Acapella on a poster so she could see it tbh

Honestly I don't think she's ever going on tour again, unless the next album is somehow smashes everywhere.

Guys we never talk about Butterfly the song and it's such a deep song. It's amazing

1. The whole album is a testimony to her skills as a songwriter, Butterfly (song) included.
2. Butterfly (song) is one of the most beautiful ballads she's ever written. Her imperfect vocals create an authentic and organic atmosphere. It's just heavenly. Although I feel a bit gay when listening to it

Edit: Didn't the Queen record the main vocals song in one take, and that was her first try at it as well? I remember reading that somewhere.

If you feel gay listening to Butterfly how do you get through Rainbow, Glitter and E=MC2?

Or Memoirs? "Stepping in my Jimmy Choo's tryna get it all cute for you baby"

Sooo true, the live performances of the song slay me, because it's an entirely different sound to her voice, the rasp, the everything I love about it.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly

I mean it's beautifully written, I just cringe sometimes.

And to answer your question, I DON'T get through those albums Rainbow wasn't too bad though imo, partly because of all the urban influences. I rarely use CTTA, AAO and TGIFY.
Glitter is just fun And E=MC^2 (and Mixtape 2009) are just such a step-down lyrically that I rarely use.

Honestly it has one of my favourite Mariah notes ever.

"AND YOU'LL NEVER BE MIIIIIINE, UNTIL YOU KNOW THE WAY IT FEELS TO FFFLLLLLLYLYYYYYYYUHUUHHUHYYYYUHUHYYYYYYYUHYYUUAAA HUUAAWHYYYYYY TO THE SUUUUU-UUUUUUN."

The lyrics to Butterfly are truly some of her best.

I doubt she'll go Gold, Memoirs struggled to sell that much with a top ten single.

I think they sell a lot, especially when she promotes them on HSN.

Well then
Get money I guess

Butterfly is one of my absolute top favs from Mariah. Probably my favorite vocals from her period.

Everything starting from the bridge and after.
The immaculate runs and pure beauty of everything.
The recent acapella left me STUNNED
All her adlibs and the vulnerability of her soft but raspy vocals that she has recently acquired from overuse of her fragile voice
The way the bridge just builds up to that E5 and just lets it all loose on FLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Something about the way she sings that run around 3:29 on "SPREAD your wings and flyyy-y-yy-y" idk like she brings it down and emphasizes each note or something maybe? that just makes it really dramatic and I'm just like ugh
And then after that she blows it up again
Also I remember someone pointing out how on "Fly" at 3:37 she sings it like "FLYYY-YEEE-YEE-YEEE-YEEE-YEEE-EEE-YIIIIIII" and it's all so intricate and beautiful but never distracting or takes away from the song as a whole

Lord I talk too much when it comes to Mariah and I kinda just say bs but I hope you guys understand me LOL

We have the actual audio of her recording it



Her voice

[Pecinta Mariah]

Mariah's gay anthems are Loverboy, Boy, Babydoll, Touch My Body, and whole Rainbow tracks
Mariah called it Rainbow for a reason, right?

So much trash
JK, great list. Just curious, how does one prefer Open Arms over Underneath the Stars and Melt Away?
You don't like Bliss? Everything post-2004 from your list is flawless though.

Arranging it by singles/songs seems very smart. I think I'll go that

[Taste of Honey]

E=mc^2 is fine lyrically cause it still sounds like her. That other album though.

[bowdown]

Which songs of Mariah's own do you think she makes l*ve to? :melryan::melryan:


I think dem babies were conceived to Bliss.mp3
