Does anyone else think that Baby Please Come Home was recorded slower and then sped up? I know she was agile as **** in 1994, but her melismas in that song are way too fast
I noticed this yesterday! I was listening to it. So happy since now I can bop to Oh Santa! and AIWFCIY (Super Festive). So random that they took it off.
I seriously wish Billboard or the AMAs gave recognition for Mariah and BIIM holding the #1 record for 20 years!! At least get them to perform it for just the songs 20th anniversary. That would definitely show these newbies something!!
One night, we went to dinner at Sylvia's in Harlem -- me, Tommy, and Mariah. On our way back, we were riding in the limo and every club, every car was bumping "Fantasy." Mariah put her sunglasses on, and tears came down her cheeks, because she couldn't believe her record was getting played all through the hood. That was the beginning of her not turning back to pop.
She once told me though she was grateful for her success, she would trade in all of her record sales to get the respect that Mary J. Blige got. She said, “Mary doesn't have to sell 28 million records to be respected -- people respect Mary, and I just want to be respected like her.”
