this countdowm will even be crazier. It'll be as wild and inappropriate as her nude stripping at TRL.

I Am Free - One of my favorite tracks from Daydream! I really got into the song when I heard her sing it in acapella. Her vocals are just crazy!

Want You - Ew.

Looking In - It's a beautiful song, but I find it really boring. I need to be in the mood to be able to appreciate this song. :lol:

O.O.C. - Underrated track. Glad to know that someone loves this song as much as I do.

Outside - My favorite personal ballad from Mariah. The bridge is everything!

I'm here for O.O.C. It's has a summery and care-free vibe and is one of E=MC² best tracks. I especially adore the pan flute in the background.

"I Am Free" is a sad song to listen too. I don't listen to it often, but when I do, I'm reminded of how controlled she was. I'm actually surprised songs like "I Am Free" and "Slipping Away" were put out. In hindsight, they're clearly about Mottolla.

"Looking In" is another song that I was suprised that made the Daydream album. Actually, maybe that's why the album was called that. Some of these songs are what Mariah thought about all day - being free and happy.

"Outside" is a really nice song. I don't like the beginning and the whispery vocals too much. It's not one of my favorites, but it's still pretty good.

DUDS:
"O.O.C" is perhaps 72 places too high. It should be in the recycling bin.

"O.O.C." is easily my fave of the batch but the others (with the exception of "Looking In") are all good too. :)

I Am Free is amazing. One of the best non-single tracks of her career and I think your placement for it is a little too low. I'd definitely rank it in my top 50, if not top 30. It's so soothing and definitely one of the standouts from "Daydream".

Want You is a mess. :lol:

Looking In is another good ballad from "Daydream", though it isn't as outstanding as I Am Free. It's definitely worth a top 100 placing, though, and I guess you ranked it quite appropriately.

O.O.C. is a decent track off "E=MC^2", but it pales in comparison to better tracks like "Migrate", "I Stay In Love", "For The Record", and even "Touch My Body". You ranked it a little too high, I guess.

Outside is one of Mariah's most personal song ever that deals with her bi-racialism. However, I can't deny that it is one of her songs that I seriously can't get into. I appreciate the song's message though, and I love how every Mariah album will have at least one song with a great meaning.

Looking forward to the rest of this countdown!

#63 To Be Around You - It's my favourite uptempo from the Emotions album. It sounds a little dated now, but it it's 90s pop at its best.

#62 Alone In Love - This is one of my absolute favourites from her debut album. The song has a really haunting melody and superb vocals. It's very underrated among the Mariah fans i know.

"Emotions" is a top track!
"Obssessed" is better than "Touch My Body". It's absolutely smashing!
"Joyride" is often overlooked, but it's one of my faves on the Mimi album.
At one point, I used to be obsessed with "Subtle Invitation". Now, I just think it's a decent song.
"Alone In Love" is a smash on her debut album. But then again, I think most of the songs there were smashes.

Emotions is ranked quite appropriately. It isn't that good or great, and is one of her weakest singles IMO.

Reflections (Care Enough) is one of the best songs off Glitter and one of her best ballads in the 2000s. It was my favourite song off Glitter till I finally saw the epicness of "Lead The Way" and "Never Too Far".

Obsessed is good... a mediocre lead single, though. I think you ranked it pretty appropriately, and this is by far her weakest lead single of the '00s IMO. "Touch My Body" >>>>

Subtle Invitation is epic! One of the best songs off Charmbracelet. My favourite song from that album along with "Bringin' On The Heartbreak", "My Saving Grace" and "Through The Rain"

Don't care about the rest of the songs. :lol:

"Emotions" and "Obsessed" are so low! :(

"Reflections (Care Enough)" and "Joy Ride" are a bit high and you ranked "Subtle Invitation" and "Twister" a lot higher than I did.

"The One" and "To Be Around You" are nice, though. I'm glad to see we ranked those two around the same slots.

"Alone In Love" is a song I ranked a bit higher. I really love the chorus.

:o VERY surprised to see "Emotions" THAT low! it's not one of my favorite Mariah singles either, but I'd still rank it...Top 50. those high notes are just too epic to ignore!

"Reflections" = not the best ballad on Glitter, but it's still pretty...well...pretty. that "you should have had the decency to give me up, before you gave me life..." line is VERY powerful!

"Obsessed" = belongs right about this low...maybe a teensy bit higher. it's not terrible, but it's definitely one of her weakest lead singles. I think people tend to judge it favorably because it's more recent, they can remember following it on the charts...but it's just not that good :lol: it does have some great lines, though!

"The One" = aw, WAY too low! this is definitely my favorite Charmbracelet track, I'm still gutted it got passed over for 2nd single in favor of the turd-tastic "Boy (I Need You)". this would probably be in my Top 20.

"To Be Around You" = I'm honestly not sure exactly where I'd put this one, but No. 63 feels a bit too low. it's a very fun, upbeat moment in the middle of Emotions many sloowwwwwww (and slightly dreary) ballads ("So Blessed", "Till The End Of Time", "The Wind", etc.)

I really despise "Loverboy", both the original and remix versions.

"So Blessed" is really nice. Though you've ranked it a bit higher than I did, I still like it. :)

"Without You" is so low! :cry: Mariah's got a number of gems in her discography but even amongst those classics, "Without You" is still a standout.

"There's Got To Be A Way" is a really nice single. I think you've ranked it appropriately too. :)

the song made made me a fan. I probably listened too much to it because i cannot listen to it anymore. 15 years ago, I would have ranked it at #1.

Emotions - I like it! I think it's a perfect pop song and Mariah's vocals are at her best.

Joyride - I really like it. One of my faves from 'Emancipation'.

Subtle Invitation - one of my favourite Mariah songs ever - and now that summer is approaching, I'm gonna be playing it a lot! Perfect, chilled out summer song.

The One - it's ok.

Loverboy (remix) - not as bad as it's made out to be! It's fun.

Aw, I know the feeling. That's why I try my utmost to not overplay my fave songs. The exact same thing happened to me with "No Air". Radio overplayed it here and I overplayed it, so now I can barely stand hearing it except for on select occasions.
