Mariah Carey - The Emancipation of Mimi (SYNC 8.30pm!)

[Jark]

I'm too hard on Don't Forget About Us - it's a perfectly nice song, just non-essential in a world in which WBT exists. so of course she cloned it another 8 times over the next decade. I think it's a bit under-served by that finger-snap production that JD loves so much. the middle 8 is the best part.

08 Don't Forget About Us

 

[RJN]

My average for the regular album was 8.07, so a solid 8. With Don't Get About Us added (an obvious 13), it averages to 8.4 so I'm going with THAT.

I love every single WBT clone. Sometimes I listen to a playlist of just them.

 

[POP!]

"Don't Forget About Us" - it's a testament to how big she was at the time that she got this weak shit to #1!

 

[Jark]

thanks for joining girlies. haven't listened to TEOM in a while so this was NICE.

 

[Pipo]

"Joy Ride" is forgettable - couldn't hum it but nice vox

it's the best song in this!

 

[Pipo]

actually, it isn't, but it's definitely my 10/10 moment

The love for Mine Again is baffling.

For me, it's all about luxuriating on a plush velour chaise longue in a 70s style dressing gown while Circles and I Wish You Knew play sumptuously in the background, and then putting on my Gospel Brunch best to be saved to Fly Like A Bird.

 

[Whatevar]

Oh I love Mine Again.

 

[Whatevar]

It’s much more soulful to me than Fly Like A Bird which sounds like more of an artificial cut & paste studio creation.

I feel compelled to throw holy water over you.

 

[Whatevar]

Like throwing water on a chip pan, babe.
