    In “Never too far” I like that she held more notes out on the climatic parts as opposed to doing a bunch of runs. She does runs and styles her voice better than anyone I can think of but her choice to hold the notes with a nice vibrato really felt right for this song.

    The Glitter hate was so forced by the media! This is a great album and I love it, Lead The Way & Never Too Far are literally top 5 best ballads Mariah has ever recorded!

    I’m here! Glitter is a good album. Certainly better than the film. Still went platinum & Loverboy was a hit. Some filler tracks, but the gems are great. Watched a video on YT about a lady who survived 9/11 because she stopped to buy Glitter. A lamb led AWAY from slaughter! Blessed be. Shout out to fellow New Yorkers!

      Glitter is so overhated! While I still think it's one of Mimi's worst, that's not saying much cuz she doesn't have a bad album. I'm pretty sure Loverboy was one of the biggest songs of 2001 as well!

    this album goes for it. such a risk but the creativity and the sounds are immaculate.
    the whistle in Twister is one of my favorites. it's light and gentle in some ways but also very pained and emotional, and then the cutoff with the reverb omg. it's also the way the mostly empty soundscape seems to fill up all of a sudden in a climactic moment but then dissipates in an instant. it's beautiful and sad.

    “Twister” was Mariah’s assistant, Tonja Twist, who commited suicide in 2000. It was added last minute as a tribute. It’s VERY dark but then again, so was this time in Mariahs life I guess

    So vocally this album… is literally outstanding. Ik we mentioned the late 90s-early 2000s period being a “vocal downfall” for her but in the studio, ever since 2001, it’s like she entered a new prime in the early 2000s, and even live. ESPECIALLY in her 2003 Charmbracelet tour. And fun fact “lead the way” actually has not only one of THE craziest riffs in her career (which is the run on the word “over” in the last chorus), IF NOT the best riff in her career, but it ALSO has her LONGEST SUSTAINED belt EVER!! About 20 seconds long!! It’s that very last belt on the word “wayyyyyy” lol. And she didn’t even breathe for that ENTIRE last chorus. That last chorus ALONE makes “lead the way” one of her top 3 HARDEST songs to sing vocally. It actually went mega viral on TikTok like last year or so with videos of it getting MILLIONS of views and likes and it became a challenge on the app lol. People would try to recreate either the crazy riff, or the long belt, or everything. It’s also a fan favorite off the album so it’s an all round win. And u can expect INSANEEE vocals on the next album Charmbracelet (2002) too.

  • @dvus1977

    I will start by clarifying that This is a Soundtrack for the motion picture Glitter(which is set at the start of the 1980s). Not an actual Studio album. Now that that's outta the way. This was Mariah's 1st project with her new label, Virgin Records. At the time the contract made her the highest paid female artist . A multi album deal worth over $100 million. After the unfortunate timing of Glitters release, Virgin Records released her from her contract. In true Mariah fashion she wasn't going to have her time wasted. She sued them and was awarded around $27million for breaching their terms. Glitter (the movie)is a loose adaptation of A Star is Born. I personally adore it. She covers some great 80s Jams as well as sampling 80s beats (Lover Boy samples Candy by Cameo)
    P.s. for any Top Chef fans out there, Padma Lakshmi made her screen debut here as well in the movie)

    I'm surprised you liked Glitter, not because the album is bad or anything (I love that album), it's just that it's so underrated, Mariah had reinvented herself, brought a project with a different sound than what she had done on previous albums, and her tone here is simply divine.

    One of my TOP Albums for sure!!
    Jlo and Mariah’s Ex husband Tommy Mozarella ( as we Lambs called him)
    the CEO of Sony stole Mariah’s cleared sample from a year ago.
    The song sampled was “Firecracker” by the Yellow Magic Orchestra.
    A Japanese electronic music band.
    They tried to sabotage Mariah and her career.
    She had breakdown and 911 happened!
    CHARMBRACELET was the prelude of her big comeback, The Emancipation of Mimi!!

    Glitter is a solid album and definitely top 4 for her. (A la Butterfly, Caution, and Memoirs) Other than the 9/11 part, at this time in music, people weren’t ready for an 80s throwback. She was a few years early. But in retrospect, listening to it now, the album is so good sonically

  • @TreavorUnion
    @TreavorUnion 13 днів тому

    Divisive comments are probably one of three things:
    - People confuse the movie with the soundtrack/concept album
    - 80s-themed music is polarizing for some
    - Some Lambs hate it because it was a source of trouble for MC for a long time. It didn't come to streaming until a couple of years ago.
    Glitter is one of my favorites.

    The album was released EXACTLY on 9/11, so obviously it was destined to flop sadly. Same with the movie, not only that but she also got diagnosed with bipolar disorder this year and was having “manic episodes”on live TV at times. She was SEVERELY overworked during this time due to deadlines to finish the movie and album and on TOP of that her ex husband tried to make JLO the new Mariah and stole some of her melodies for songs she was planning on making and soundtracks, one of them being the one for “loverboy” so she actually had to remake the song and choose a new sample for it so she was even MORE stressed to meet that deadline, she would only sleep like 3 hours a night or something, and work the rest of the time, while trying to make time for interviews, tv appearances, and fan meetings/signings. She’s already naturally a workaholic but this was to a WHOLE new level and it was deteriorating not only her vocal health but her physical and mental health too. People loved making fun of her during this time period and called her crazy and manic. Imagine dealing with depressive and manic episodes, along with barely sleeping at all and working almost 24/7 while trying to meet deadlines and ALSO getting ur work stolen for other artists AND the entire media and world making fun of u… she literally was su!c!dal at times during this time because of this massive downfall where literally everything in her life went wrong and on top of that 9/11 happened right on the release date of her work. She’s SO strong and it’s a miracle she still pushed through even when it was popular to hate on her. Once the biggest star on the planet, and then reduced to that… thankfully she eventually started dominating the charts again and it became popular to like her again with the Emancipation of Mimi album in 2005.
    -oh but fun fact in 2018 “#justiceforglitter” started trending everywhere and the lambs got that album to #1 on iTunes 17 years later and she actually performed some of the songs off the album for the first time ever since its release since she hadn’t rlly performed any song from it because of its commercial “failure” back then.
