Can we talk about the slayage that is Ribbon?!

I want that to be the song for the opening dance at my wedding

By the end of the song, I'll have some people come up with a giant ribbon
and they can tie me and my husband together symbolically

[Buyonce1814]

H.A.T.E.U is perfection! That song slays >>>>

The album overall I actually love. at first I hated that it was all The Dream but it kind of works imo. My personal faves are

More Than Just Friends
H.A.T.E.U
Standing O
Betcha Gon Know
Languishing

[Orpheus]

Standing O is faultless!

Memoirs sounds better now in retrospect though. Listen to some of the songs and imagine that she's talking about Nick!

[MiMiLAMb!]

Memoirs is very underrated and is amazing.
Angel (The Prelude) is one of the best things she ever recorded.
Standing O is the best song on the album. the last minute alone is grammy worthy.
I love every song bar Up Out My Face. Betcha Gon' Know , Hate U & Angels Cry are masterpieces as well.
Skydiving & her version of They Don't Know Me should of been on the album.

I don't like her looks during this era

[Orpheus]

I think she looked okay. i loved her looks as she was promoting Precious.

She was EVERYWHERE for Precious!

The album artwork was tacky as. The whole concept behind recreating images from past albums was unnecessary, and didn't fit with the theme of the album.

I think the recreating thing would work more for Elusive tbh

I hate Obsessed as well I don't know why. I think the music video is cute but it's so basic.

[Pecinta Mariah]

Obssesed is so out of place
it doesn't fit in on this album, it is the "Outside" of the album

[Tigre]

Don't come for Outside sis!

[Tigre]

Let's give it up for the REAL christmas gem and the introduction of Pregnantriah!

[enxe]

Not as good as her first, but still very solid imo

[Pecinta Mariah]

Born is The King interlude > memoirs

[Reverie]

Such a great album actually
Oh Santa! was the first Mariah song to come out when I was a realized Lamb. It's such a worthy followup to AIWFCIY. The groovy beat, the bells, the background ad libs, the piano, and the cheerleader-like chant all make it such a great song. It's sweet and sentimental while being a good singalong song, just like AIWFCIY.

Christmas Time Is In The Air Again is written and arranged so perfectly. When I first heard it I had to double check that it wasn't already a classic instead of being an original by Mariah.

And I loooove the retro vibes of When Christmas Comes. It reminds of me Donny's This Christmas.

Her vocals are also incredible on O Come All Ye Faithful and O Little Town of Bethlehem / Little Drummer Boy. Such dramatic, storytelling in a short 3 minutes.

And Born Is The King Interlude I love Mariah for making it so sexy. I remember someone here said it wanted them to "have sex on the altar" or something

[Reverie]

Here Comes Santa Claus is also a bit of a sexy bop

[Reverie]

Sometimes I even enjoy Auld Lang Syne!

[Taste of Honey]

The Virgin Mariah's debut era.

[Bitchcraft]

The fact that she says "does anybody really know the words?" In Auld Lang Syne is too perfect. I remember looking at the track list like "who?"
