Mariah Carey

[Shaka]

Yeah, the mixing is exquisite. They nailed it.

BUT as a lead single...

ILT > #B (pretty close tho!)

[Shaka]

But let's get some love to #Hermosa as well!

A sexy mess

[ilearnedfromthebest]

Yours have forgotten that she collaborated with Babyface on Every Time I Close My Eyes. She also performed Christmas Time Is In the Air Again with him.

I know these. But I mean studio duet collab - not backing vocals and adlibs for each other. But both of them doing main vocals in one studio song

[ilearnedfromthebest]

She already did that.

They also performed CTIITAA from her Merriest Christmas Special in '15.

I mean studio duet, not doing backing vocals and adlibs or live performance

[wolfeagle]

That belt Mariah does on the bridge of Everytime I Close My Eyes cuts through to my soul! Such a sexy song!

[Shaka]

I know what you mean.
I guess you wanted something like OSD or WYB, more Mariah and having a verse for her own.

But EICME is basically a collabo with Mariah being the feature - tho she's not even credited/mentioned.

She's not only doing the BG vocals but also singing /belting out/ during the climax.

[Shaka]

That belt Mariah does on the bridge of Everytime I Close My Eyes cuts through to my soul! Such a sexy song!

That F5 belt followed by the vocal break and the amazing melisma with transitions >>>

She said "I'm the best" in 5 seconds.

On Apple Music and Spotify, Every Time is credited to Babyface & Mariah now, she’s not a feature but a lead artist

If he gave her a verse, it probably would have been a No 1

That Kenny G solo is hideous though

[Shaka]

This sounds so cool.

I can’t help but think #Outside is an anthem for Meghan, Harry, and Archie

They can relate to every word, especially Meghan

[Anderson]

lol

God, what a powerful history.
All she went through... Amazing strong woman and supportive hubby.

[Shaka]

LOL, I love her, she can sing and she's super funny.

She was a contestant on Idol (Mariah's season) tho she didn't make it.

they should make a fresh edit of that song w/o Kenny

[Shaka]

Nah, no one cares anymore, it would be a waste of time.
Do something new in any case.

Omg, I am getting so impatient

Mimi you can’t ghost us like this

Throw something at us, lord in heaven help me, I’m whistling “oh Jesus” like in FLAB

... but unfortunately she is not in the Top 10 of the biggest selling female album artists of the 21st century in the UK.

[SawyerHewitt]

#B is such a timeless jam.
Sounds like classic Mariah.
And I've stated this a thousand times already, but the outro is one of the best things she's ever recorded.

She would be lucky to be in the top 50 in the 21st century.

[Kaloki]

"Representation dropped further among women of colour, with only Mariah Carey – as co-producer of All I Want for Christmas Is You – credited with producing a song that made the 2020 Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart, albeit one first released in 1994"

[PJDoubleu]

... but unfortunately she is not in the Top 10 of the biggest selling female album artists of the 21st century in the UK.

She doesn't need to be. AIWFC’s over 200million streams, when combined with UK physical sales, put it in the top 10 biggest selling singles of all time. And it’ll keep rising.
For some reason, complete chart data on it is scattered, with sources like the official charts company referencing two different figures - streams and sales - but never, or rarely, official combined figures. When they do, they claim its No. 84. But this contradicts certifications and sales/streaming figures from themselves/the British Phonographic industry... for example, as far back as ‘13 they certified AIFWC had shifted 3million combined copies. Wet Wet Wets “Love is all around” is considered number 11 best selling, for 1.91 million combined. I’m not sure she even makes the list on Wiki, unless I’m being completely blind, despite numbers that outpace others, irrelevant of source. (Wet wet wet drop to 26 according to Wiki).
It doesn’t add up, but whatever figures one believes, she smacked it.
