Mariah Carey
Why is she so fascinating? Pre-crazy, post-crazy, it's all good by me. Something about the cheezy ballads and Lisa K.
I'm not ashamed to say that I own Vision of Love and still listen to it. I was also one of 4 people who actually tried to see Glitter in the theaters. I say "try" because it was yanked so quickly from the theaters that I would have had to find my way to New Jersey to see it. For real.
Today's ear worm was We Belong Together--just the straight album cut. No beat street remixes or mash-ups. I'm not posting it since this song has received more airplay than any other track this summer. I keep getting stuck on the post-production inserted "wooo" in the last wailing bars. It's supposed to mask the limits of her range, but it's a shade off beat and snags. I fully realize that no one here is as STUPIDLY obsessive about this, but my compulsive tendencies are making me share.
Comments
I admit that I am also obsessed with We Belong Together, esp the mix that plays on that g a y radio station here in the Bay Area though I do like the thugged out mix on KMEL.
What concerns me more deeply, however, is whether or not Whitney's return in 2006 will match Mariah's latest comeback or not. Whitney's last effort bombed. Of course, I bought it and know every word on every song, but that's not really a measure of popular success.
Btw, I am one of the 10 people combined (U.S. and Asia proper) who own the Glitter soundtrack.

I am one of the 10 people in North America and Asia combined who own the Glitter soundtrack. Nuff said.

I am one of 3 DJs who own cuts from the Glitter soundtrack on vinyl. I am probably the only DJ who has every tried playing it on a dancefloor.
