After her memoirs no one can convince me that reflections was written solely for her character in the movie. There’s a lot of truth in that song for Mariah.
The Glitter Album has such good moments, but just like you pointed out some of the choices in production take you out of it, but every time I revisit the album I'm always shook at how amazing her vocals are on this album and how it was so close to being a really good album.
I'm living for this Mariah reactions, but, can we take a moment to talk about how cute Vicente is, I live for curly, eyeglassed, mustachy boys lol Anyway, keep these Mariah reactions coming ☺️
Reflection is for sure about Mariah life also the character from the movie . Eric Bennett is an r&b legend and was on soap opera tv shows . The song with Eric is one of my favorites on this soundtrack. It’s pure 80s r&b how it sounded in the 80s .
I feel the reason why some tracks were so long was because they were supposed to be played at the club. That's why they repeat so much. To keep the energy. But that makes it not that good for a casual listen
Loverboy samples Candy by Cameo . Didn't Mean to turn you On, is a cover originally sung by Charrelle . Funkin for Jamaican also samples Tom Brown's original. Last Night A DJ saved my Life, is a cover originally sung by Indeep. Def watch the movie if you get a chance ☺️😉. "THEY DON'T MATTER, THEY'RE JUST BACKUP" This Will forever be linked to the Saddest Day in U..S History. Glitter was released on September 11, 2001 💔🙏 * This was Mariah's 1st project with her new Label, Virgin Records. She had signed the biggest contract by a female in music history $100Million+ for a few albums. However , after Glitter's sad performance (9/11) Virgin Records released her from the contract. Mariah is Mariah & in true Mariah fashion, she sued them and basically Virgin Records was ordered to pay her around $27 million dollars to be allowed to release her from the contract.
4:42 hope Never Too Far and Lead the Way are the best ballads on the album. Want You and Didn't Mean To Turn You On are the best uptempo songs on the album. I know there's a lot of lore around Loverboy, but I would've made Want You the lead single, tbh.
Dj clue is the one shouting he produced the song is the dj . Busta rhyme is talking fabulous rapped at the start . Last night a dj saved my life is a remake lol . Dj clue also produced the heartbreaker remix with Missy and DaBrat .
I feel the exact same way about don't stop. The dude ruined the song for me 😭. The little part Mariah had at the end is so amazing it sucks she didn't have a verse or two or all of them would have been just her.
sorry but loverboy glitter version >>> firecracker idc 😭 candy by cameo is a classic and therefore it is superior and imo the firecracker one is too busy for me
the "firecracker version" of loverboy was intented to be the official release , but when the sample was leaked, she rushed in change ASAP the melody and sample to make a whole new mix (the one was realeased in the album) meanwhile the "firecracker" was on the vault till 2020
lead the way, was part of the recording session for butterfly , the track was finished for Glitter All my life was writed & produced by Rick James Eric Bennett is Halle Berry's ex husband
Disregard my commentary about "Reflections". As I was uploading the video, I looked it up and turns out she was in character while singing the song 🤡🤡 Maybe the soundtrack did have something to do with the film after all 😬 By the way, this is the playlist I talked about that I created Freaky-riah: open.spotify.com/playlist/0hRrMW0FGi90pmpBGQzagJ?si=sS1Rv5q1R4SexkvZu4iJhA&
Mariah doesn't have a good relationship with her mother. In fact she even talks about how horrible their relationship used to be sometimes like in her memoir. The movie is loosely based on her life so while it could also be a song for billy (the character) or it could be about her real life self.
The song Loverboy was subject to controversy, following reports that Jennifer Lopez and Tommy Mottola (Carey's ex-husband) stole the idea of sampling the singer's original planned sample, Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Firecracker", over a month after Carey had signed for it. Since Carey's Glitter was to be released over a month after Lopez's album, she changed the song's melody to sample from "Candy" instead.
Loverboy Firecracker has some fun elements however towards the middle it doesn't work plus I prefer her singing in the Candy Girl version and if you know who Cameo is and know their song Cany Girl you would know just how huge it was
There’s a reason why Loverboy Firecracker version was not released in the Glitter project. I’ll let you do your research about it now, and hopefully you’ll change your mind about how you feel about their decisions. 😉
Charmbracelet is my favorite MC album. Be warned though, it’s whispery for a lot of it and it’s a mood. Play it loud or with headphones. But boyyy she sounds fantastic, it’s a cool, urban, hip hop, gospel, jazz, R&B album with a fantastic tour (watch Zurich Vision Of Love 2003) and fun fashion.
Lead the way has Mariah's longest recorded note which is 20 seconds but it is much lore complex than that, she does a 35 notrs run in 4 seconds then belts, untilts the cricoid cartilage to make another tiny run, tilts it again and then tilts the thyroid cartilage for a perfect vibratto. People need to remember why Mariah's whistle fit so perfectly in her so ngs abd that is because she coubts them as phrases and not simpke vocalizations, they always serve a purpose, also this is not a Mariah Carey album is an OST for her movie Glitter. It was release on 9/11 as a matter fact there are a lot of videos of the WTC falling down and all of the suden you see Billboards of Mariah's Glitter. Finally this álbum got some love in 2018. "If We" was another song ripped off by Jennifer Lopez
Didn't mean to turn you on and a Last night A DJ saved my life are actually an 80s song, prod wise didn't mean to turn is the original producer of the 80s version The reason why you felt like this was a feat Mariah album is because on the movie she was a 'backup' and ghostsinger that is why the soundtrack felt that way, clue is in All my life, the opening line is from the movie where she started the 'ghost singing' for an artist who can't sing 😄
PERIODT, I love this album so much and I’m so sad about the whole history behind it’s sabotage and whatnot but I’m glad it had got its due credit with #Justiceforglitter😫😤🥺🥹😍🥰, also if you listen to Da Brat’s cadence in the remix, you can hear she’s rapping to the beat of the firecracker version, referencing the stolen sample, A.K.A the firecracker sample
Fun fact ! Mariah herself says she likes the Loverboy cameo version better than the firecracker version ! Despite everything that happen and the firecracker beat getting used/stolen by JLo! I think it’s just personal preference! Personal I like loverboy cameo and feel like loverboy firecracker has to much going on, but it does fits the 80s theme better for this soundtrack!
maybe watch the film so you can understand that these tracks are being sung as her character Billie not as herself and as most soundtracks do they complement the movie
Just found you and you have great videos and insights! - Just a tip " Debut" is pronounced " day - B-U" and the album name is called "Mariah Carey" - keep it up - great reaction, even if I disagree with some things haha :)
She had to change Loverboy cause Tommy stole the sound of the song and gave it to Jennifer Lopez... he was trying to destroy Mariah career and he was succeeding... Mariah had Ja Rule feat in Glitter and he want him for J Lo too...

She does a live mash up performance of Never too far away/ Hero . I think you’d enjoy it !
Yesss
The Glitter Album has such good moments, but just like you pointed out some of the choices in production take you out of it, but every time I revisit the album I'm always shook at how amazing her vocals are on this album and how it was so close to being a really good album.
I'm living for this Mariah reactions, but, can we take a moment to talk about how cute Vicente is, I live for curly, eyeglassed, mustachy boys lol
Anyway, keep these Mariah reactions coming ☺️
Oh... Thank you ☺️♥️
It’s the dimples for me… 🤷🏼♂️
Reflection is for sure about Mariah life also the character from the movie . Eric Bennett is an r&b legend and was on soap opera tv shows . The song with Eric is one of my favorites on this soundtrack. It’s pure 80s r&b how it sounded in the 80s .
My favorite tone from Mariah ever, thank you for reacting to this album ❤
Yes, Never Too Far is such a good song!! Really enjoyed your reaction.
Twister is written for her designer who committed suicide. The designer was the one who designed her outfit for the heartbreaker music video.
The way u say “debut” is awesome.
I feel the reason why some tracks were so long was because they were supposed to be played at the club. That's why they repeat so much. To keep the energy. But that makes it not that good for a casual listen
Aaahhh that makes a lot of sense. It also helps explain why some tracks flow into the next; like it would if it were a playlist playing at the club.
I looooove Reflections ❤
The Way SLAAAAPS! Your reaction gave me everything
#Reflections 💖 best song off "Glitter" 💿
Loverboy samples Candy by Cameo . Didn't Mean to turn you On, is a cover originally sung by Charrelle . Funkin for Jamaican also samples Tom Brown's original. Last Night A DJ saved my Life, is a cover originally sung by Indeep.
Def watch the movie if you get a chance ☺️😉.

Charmbracelet the next album is a fan favorite and an underrated gem. I know youll enjoy her golden voice era through Charmie album
The mustache is adorable my little brother in my mind! I love these reviews!
4:42 hope
Never Too Far and Lead the Way are the best ballads on the album.
Want You and Didn't Mean To Turn You On are the best uptempo songs on the album.

"a verse or two or all of them" 🗣️🗣️🗣️ literally how I felt. He was fun in the first 10 seconds or so, but definitely could've gone after that.
Glitter will be one of Mariah's best selling albums in the long run. Mark my words.
Can’t wait for you to hear sunflowers for Alfred Roy in charmbracelet
sorry but loverboy glitter version >>> firecracker idc 😭 candy by cameo is a classic and therefore it is superior and imo the firecracker one is too busy for me
And sounded rushed or demo
Definetly. I think it was a demo tho, i don’t think she would ever release a main single that unpolished
the "firecracker version" of loverboy was intented to be the official release , but when the sample was leaked, she rushed in change ASAP the melody and sample to make a whole new mix (the one was realeased in the album) meanwhile the "firecracker" was on the vault till 2020

All my life was writed & produced by Rick James
Eric Bennett is Halle Berry's ex husband
I remember reading an article where when mariah re recorded loverboy she was sick. Add up the stress and commotion going on around her
Vincente about Lead The Way: "There's still a minute left"
me: *mentally trying to count how many times Mariah breathes from here on out*
Disregard my commentary about "Reflections". As I was uploading the video, I looked it up and turns out she was in character while singing the song 🤡🤡 Maybe the soundtrack did have something to do with the film after all 😬

Sadly, it’s more true than not. Mariah wrote that for Pat. Everything in the memoir confirms this for me.
The song Loverboy was subject to controversy, following reports that Jennifer Lopez and Tommy Mottola (Carey's ex-husband) stole the idea of sampling the singer's original planned sample, Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Firecracker", over a month after Carey had signed for it.

Loverboy is such a camp song, I love the whole soundtrack
Loverboy Firecracker has some fun elements however towards the middle it doesn't work plus I prefer her singing in the Candy Girl version and if you know who Cameo is and know their song Cany Girl you would know just how huge it was

I love ur reactions in this video we need a react with the movie too 😩😭😭😭🙏

this album is so good

"Reflections": In live performances, she replaces "before you gave me life" with "the day you gave me life".
I don't like the firecracker version of loverboy sorry ❤️
PERIODT, I love this album so much and I’m so sad about the whole history behind it’s sabotage and whatnot but I’m glad it had got its due credit with #Justiceforglitter😫😤🥺🥹😍🥰, also if you listen to Da Brat’s cadence in the remix, you can hear she’s rapping to the beat of the firecracker version, referencing the stolen sample, A.K.A the firecracker sample

First and second..skipped right passed first
There are a lot of collaborations on this album, but it should be noted that Mariah considers this a “soundtrack” as opposed to a “studio album”.
Well it is a soundtrack album. It’s just Mariah being Mariah wrote, produced and recorded it herself.
Just found you and you have great videos and insights! - Just a tip " Debut" is pronounced " day - B-U" and the album name is called "Mariah Carey" - keep it up - great reaction, even if I disagree with some things haha :)
Next is ‘Charmbracelet’ , a cousin of ‘Butterfly’
Hi Sir. Please watch the film. I think you will appreciate the album more or at least some of the songs because they tell more about the story.
It’s not a Mariah Carey album. It’s actually a soundtrack album recorded by her.
Glitter has the most skips for me, merely because of the features and all the shouting from all the rappers
Twister is about her hairdresser who committed suicide
She had to change Loverboy cause Tommy stole the sound of the song and gave it to Jennifer Lopez... he was trying to destroy Mariah career and he was succeeding... Mariah had Ja Rule feat in Glitter and he want him for J Lo too...
Blame JLo for this version of Loverboy 😅
