MOOPY ALBUM SYNC LISTENS #5 - MARIAH CAREY - BUTTERFLY - 8PM TUESDAY 05/05

[AGinAg (37)]

Although I'm getting bored and this is the best song! Where's that box of wine?!

I've injected the whole box.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Now I do LIKE The Roof.

 

[SDF]

WHO actually did request this?

WHAT A TROLL

 

[SDF]

And is @octophone still with us?

 

[Alla]

Listening while making dinner, but listening anyway.

 

[K.C.]

Fourth of July constantly moves up the list on this album for me. Such a sexy number.

 

[SDF]

Now I do LIKE The Roof.

I don't think her voice ever sounded so sexy

 

[Raining on Me]

I mean The Roof is okay, but so is plasterboard

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't think her voice ever sounded so sexy

Sexy is not the word.

Still very good. This should have been lead single.

 

[Zu]

WHO actually did request this?

WHAT A TROLL

Well this party really is in full swing

I would join in but I swapped my deluxe signed very rare Japanese limited edition double vinyl for toilet roll

 

[SDF]

If we get Butterfly to number one... we'll be LAMBS

 

[Suomi]

This thread

anyway, this album IS very good. The Roof is a very clever song. Whenever You Call happens to be my favourite Mariah song, although I prefer the Rosie Ribbons version from Pop Idol Week 1.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm just about tolerating this.

 

[Raining on Me]

It DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE

 

[SDF]

I can't imagine The Roof being a lead single, it wouldn't have hit as hard as Honey

 

[K.C.]

"The Roof" is magical. I don't think I've heard a more perfect R&B song.

"And I was twisted in my web of desire for you"

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I can't imagine The Roof being a lead single, it wouldn't have hit as hard as Honey

DID Honey hit hard?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE

It's SUBTLE.

 

[K.C.]

Not to mention, it samples one of the greatest rap songs of all time.

 

[SDF]

It was 1997, the competition was fierce, we weren't necessarily here for slinky RnB numbers

 

[AGinAg (37)]

WHAT'S THIS RUBBISH?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is this album REALLY beloved?

 

[SDF]

Fourth of July is beautiful, @Zu-Klara i hope you at least got a roll of andrex for the trade

 

[SDF]

Is this album REALLY beloved?

 

[Zu]

I've always quite liked Honey.

PRAISE INDEED! I’m leaving this thread now because I’m getting hysterical

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I really am trying!

 

[K.C.]

Everything past "Honey" was pretty much almost completely sabotaged by Tommy Mottola because of the messy divorce. Her label especially hated "The Roof"

 

[SDF]

SOMEONE CALL @dUb IMMEDIATELY

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When did they split up?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

1/4th July

 

[SDF]

Bring back @Mo

 

[SDF]

Are we loving this jam?

 

[Raining on Me]

I like the production on "The Roof" but "Fourth of July" is truly by the numbers toilet paper thin r&b tat.

And this one is FAR WORSE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's all such a EFFORT.

She had good RnB moments but this album wasn't there yet. It's so inbetween early Mariah and latino Mariah and just doesn't HIT.

 

[Zu]

Fourth of July is beautiful, @Zu-Klara i hope you at least got a roll of andrex for the trade

Two rolls of Best-In

 

[ameraal]

i like this album. where you up to?

 

[Raining on Me]

I assume no lambs will be rushing in to CONDEMN such opinions since they couldn't even be bothered to turn up for THEIR OWN EVENT (aka who else wanted it?!)

 

[Suomi]

It is a MOOD PIECE. Listen to the notes she’s NOT playing

 

[Sheena]

I bought two copies of the Australian Breakdown CD single in a charity shop about three months ago in a “3 for 50p” sale and sold both for £25ish on Discogs.

The third CD was a reissue of Ace of Base’s Flowers that had Every Time It Rains tagged onto it and replaced my original release, so MONEY WELL SPENT.

 

[Devil]

See I quite like the album after many years. Some of the ballads are boring but Honey and The Roof are top notch. Noted NZ top 5 Breakdown was also a random hit here that charter approximately no where else.
