    The remix gave Mariah her biggest original song of the decade (so far). It is about to pass 60 million streams on Spotify which - for a 50-something female act - is gigantic.

      Either way, Mariah deserved to be credited!
      You’re right. It was so much better for Latto that Mariah wasn’t credited but gave her stability and longevity and still be credited as solo

I wonder if Mariah had to fight for that one? I guess Slipping Away was relegated to the b-side of ABMB for thematic reasons… we know Tommy would have HATED those lyrics!
        Long Ago isn’t as R&B as Slipping Away, it has some very melodic pop parts like Always Be My Baby does, especially the “you told me pretty lies” section

        It’s always reminded me of TLC

              I need this Mariah, carefree, on verge of a massive comeback and feeling good. She's so well spoken here...not sure what happened cause her interviews these days have no where near the same focus




              Also forgot this WMA 2005, where Mariah in the same room as Patti, Stevie, Rihanna, Beyonce/Desitny's Child, Amerie, Usher,...etc. Gosh RnB dominated the early to mid-2000s. If only this genre is still as popular now. BTW that song Patti sang for Destiny's Child was so fitting for where they were in their career at that point in time.

                The more focused, professional interviews are my favorite as well, but some settings just don't fit that as well. I think we've gotten quite a few good, focused interviews in recent years. The Genius interview comes to mind.

                  Her best interviews have been in the last few years I don’t get this constant repeating of how terrible all of her interviews have been. Yes there has been some rambling ones but her most in depth, personal and revealing interviews have been over the last few years. Let it go.

                    I love this. It even included a part from the Global Citizen one.

                        Agree. All these podcast moments. The Oprah interview was good, the Questlove, the RS one and some others.

                          Unlike some of you guys I found the Genius interview whilst insightful and she goes deeper than most other interviews....is very tagent laden and meandering. It's right throughout that interview. thoughts that would often take most people sentences to answer she drags it out endlessly with no real connection to the original question or precision in what she's trying to say.

                          Something's obviously changed in her because pre Caution i've never noticed it..

                            The thing with her tangents it that she always tries to come across as polite and respectful. So anytime another person is mentioned, she usually says one or two nice things about him or her and then goes to what she wanted to say. Also she has a lot of Mariah-isms that us lambs understand but a random person watching might find awkward.

                              If there's a song that screams Autumn in Mariah's catalogue, it's this one. Very mellow, smooth and just like her, we want to wrap ourselves around something warm.

                              I love the video, a return to sophisticated (non body touching or awkward poses) music videos that's highly re-watchable since the TMB days.

                                100% agree. Since 2018 we’ve had some brilliant interviews as recent as the Rolling Stone podcast. I don’t really know what else she can do…

                                    Stop talking too fast, take a breath pause, collect her thoughts...the basics. She talks too quickly, rambles and forgets what the question was or the point she's trying to make. It was all over the place in the Global Citizen in between songs.

                                    The Rolling Stone is another tangent prone conversation. Girl, stop digressing. Stay with the story and one line of thinking before shooting off to some weird tangent and taking ages to get back to the original point.

                                      That was kinda touching. A reminder of her amazing career and everything she's been through.

                                      I'll always love this song... it was the first time I'd really noticed Mariah back in the day when I became a fan.

                                        Did y’all forget she struggles with mental health or what? At 52/53 I don’t see her changing much. She is her. Take it or leave it at this point.

                                          Babydoll is my love….prequel to Joyride, …..has a similar raw vibe. I love both!
                                          That beat in Babydoll!
                                          I just always felt like Joyride was such a raw vocal take when you hear it, just like Babydoll.
