I’m still baffled as to how Daydream got robbed so much in the Grammys. She has been treated unfairly throughout her career, and I am glad that she is sincerely happy in her life today. Thank you for another great video!
I think that Mariah simply got beaten by artists that were considered more "cool" or "edgy" while Mariah was still considered by many to be a studio creation and not an edgy artist. Certainly, she should have won something, considering how dominant Daydream and One Sweet Day were.
I have been asking that for many years. I think it happened because the music academy thinks Mariah has it all too easy and made out for her which isn't the case. To outsiders, Mariah is "the girl who lives inside the golden world" Perhaps to academy insiders, it didn't feel right to give awards to the girl who is married to the boss. Just my thoughts.
Yes - Daydream was amazing at blending R&B, pop, and hip-hop - but don't forget about gospel, too! Those background vocals in "Always Be My Baby" - those are all gospel-flavored vocals. Her background singers in general during that era (the Price sisters, Melonie Daniels, etc - were well known in the gospel choir community of NYC). That's the amazingness of Daydream (and Mariah in general) - all these genres blended together in a way that simply didn't exist before, especially on pop radio. It's not every day that you hear an album with both gospel references and hip-hop references, celebrated on pop radio.
Absolute masterpiece. Honestly this album is so cohesive and flows so smoothly and grabs you that when the album ends you hit replay immediately cause you can't believe that such a beautiful musical journey ended.
I wish you had mention how her Daydream interlude was a precursor to her butterfly reprise and was her incorporating dance music into her albums which is another thing Tommy wanted her to avoid exploring genre wise, which is why she kept it as an interlude.
Daydream is her best era, the album has no skips, follows a theme, still sounds fresh till this day, lyrics and production are top notch! Every song on the album was a hit martial, her music videos in this era started to become more fun. Other than the impact of the fantasy remix, and the overall blending of different genres, from r&b, pop, gospel, hip hop and dance music.. The Daydream Tour will never be replicated or even touched, her vocals on the tour are the greatest vocals of all time
It was better because she had more creative control it was an album she wanted to make not an album that she wanted (her demos) being changed to fit what the label wanted you could argue that emotions was mariahs first album where she actually had a say in (although music box was where she had full creative control for the first time ever)
@@rs-ly1bu so true. I also think of her early videos and how she didnt have much control over the creative concepts. I wonder what ideas she wanted to do for some of her videos
@@rs-ly1bu i think career-wise, tommy had a good intention for her debut album to be like that but one thing that bugged me was that someday was edited in the music video. I think if they kept the original version, it would be a lot better. the remix sounded off to me.
I wish her team released more singles from this album. Underneath the Stars would have been a great follow up to Always be my Baby in the late summer of 96, & I am free as late fall of 96.
@@jestiny agreed smh same with the butterfly album they didn’t promote the singles as much and it irks me because those 2 albums have such good songs that should’ve been released and could’ve been massive hits
Daydream solidified her style from voice to music choices. It was this era where her trademark girly bright sound that’s she’s known for was formed and the beginning of her venturing off more into hip hop/Rnb. I will forever stan this era 🤩
Daydream as an album is so beautiful!!! People don't understand how the theme of the album runs through all songs. it's a masterpiece and should've been given its accolades. Daydream is the reason Butterfly exists!! Its legacy will forever be known!!!
She revolutionised music, race relations, women in music, women's voices, celebrity status, artistry.. and she's just gone Diamond status for All I want for Christmas
She should have at least won record of the year at the Grammys. I love how the 1996 Grammys is more remembered as the night that Mariah was robbed rather than the actual winners
"All hail and bow to Mariah Carey, The Queen of Divas, Protector of the vocal skills from the realm, Archiduchess of Vocal range/registers, Empress of agility, The unmatched, The Mellisma mother, The Goddess of Songwriting and producing, The one often imitated, but never duplicated, The embodiment of pure success",. My simpleton ears are not worthy of your talent but a simple sung phrase will be enough to heal me for all eternity.
Growing up as a tween and a teen in the early 1990s, I always thought that she seemed too slick before Daydream. Daydream was the first Mariah Carey album I bought. She was so much more raw in Daydream than in any earlier album. I still remember fans petitioning Sony to release “When I Saw You” as a single in 1996.
Great video! Let's be real she changed the game when she stepped on the scene with Vision of Love. The structure of that song changed the idea of what a pop/ballad sounds like & also bringing complicated melisma to the forefront(she didn't invent it just reintroduced into pop-music). An underrated musical genius! And to think Emotions isn't generally seen as successful but today it has sold 13+ mil WW..while debut has sold 20+ mil, Musicbox 35+ mil and Daydream 31+ mil.
Daydream is my 3rd favorite Mariah Carey album (after Emotions and Glitter). I bought it when it was released in its first week and I wore that cassette tape out. With the exception of her covering Journey’s Open Arms (which I didn’t care too much of), Daydream is almost flawless from beginning to end. This was the first album with her working with Jermaine Dupri. The 2 songs he produced (Always Be My Baby and Long Ago) were my personal favorites from the album. Without Daydream, there probably wouldn’t have been Butterfly, which is widely considered her magnum opus.
I first listened to Merry Christmas on tape in December 1995. At that time, All I Want For Christmas felt like a classic. When I browsed through the casette tape insert, I learned MC cowrote and co produced it.
I agree that she’s been robbed from winning Grammys for this masterpiece album. I wish I was older when this came out for I could fully experience it (I was 3 in 1996)
I love this channel’s videos, but as a Lamb, I really love seeing Mariah on this channel! The videos are always articulated so well. It just makes me happy.
I'm a huge fan. While living through this era, I think that thee glitter period, honey music video, and heartbreaker collab really solidified her career.
As a Gen X who wanted nothing more than Mariah to be his bride back in the day, I can tell you that while Emotions underperformed compared to her debut, she was still being played round the. Clock on MTV. The first single from Emotions hit #1 on Billboard making her the first artist to have her first five singles to hit # 1 ever. All three singles from “Emotions” hit number 1 on Casey’s top 40. And Mariah’s performance on the show: “MTV Unplugged” was the first to both be turned into an EP for sale and have a hit single from said performance. Not too shabby for a sophomore slump if you ask me.
Random Thought: I feel like Daydream and Thank u, next by Ariana Grande are so similar. I feel like Thank u, next is the equivalent of Ariana's Daydream. They're both the 5th studio album by Mariah & Ari, they were both released at a time where they were really successful, they were both heavily inspired by hip-hop, they were both robbed by the Grammys, and they're both arguably one of the best albums in both of their discographies. And the two of the albums were also released by two VOCALISTS. the greatest vocalists of their generation.
@@rosemont2283 her voice is more dynamic on Daydream than it is on music box. It is also the last album where Mariah sang with such flexibility. Her voice is stronger on Music Box, but her voice is more angelic on Daydream.
What, Sure Emotions Wasn't As Suceessful As Her Debut But It Definetly Wasn't A Flop, Like It Went Quadruple Platinum And Sold 13 Million Copies Worldwide.
In my not so humble opinion her second best album behind Butterfly. It could have been better had Slippin Away and One Night been included. Both are too good songs to be left off. Long Ago it’s like a follow up to Slippin, both of those songs could have been singles.
Music box sold over 35 million copies and daydream sold over 31 million. Get your facts right, she’s the greatest vocalist of all time and best selling female artist of all time
Actually Janet Jackson popularized rap stars on pop songs like her song alright with heavy D or You want this with MC Lyte. But Mariah was a fantastic follow up and pushed it that much more 🤩
@@takemyhand1988 saying Janet is r&b is like saying Mariah is r&b. Just cause she’s black doesn’t mean everything she does is r&b. Janet 100% Pop. Fusing Dance, R&B, Rock, etc lol
@@OK7842 Mariah was also r&b. There's only few mariah songs that were true pop, dreamlover, without you, hero etc. Mariah's and Janet were always either a fusion of pop and r&b or r&b
like your channel a lot but you're kinda dramatic lol WASN'T UNTIL MUSIC BOX THAT MARIAH RECOVERED MAINSTREAM SUCCESS chill man emotions still was #1 and is one of her most known songs and the album went #4. i would want that kind of failure

I’m glad that Underneath the Stars and Melt Away are finally receiving the praise it deserves.
That underneath the stars oh my goodness!
Underrated songs! Check out the remixes for Underneath the Stars- they’re gorgeous too.
I remember listening to that track on repeat when I was a teen

Indeed. I used to play it non-stop back then.
I know Butterfly is critically acclaimed but I will always favor Daydream more.

Wonderful song specially the extended version.
I love the extended version... I love it when Mariah does house music though.
The fact that she could create a CLASSIC R&B album AND a Grunge album at the SAME TIME!!!

I went through MC’s discography again this year and I was sleeping on Daydream. It’s incredible.
It’s overshadowed by Butterfly to many. I love Daydream so much.
I wish her team released more singles from this album. Underneath the Stars would have been a great follow up to Always be my Baby in the late summer of 96, & I am free as late fall of 96.

the greatest pop/r&b album of all time. the perfect balance. some of the greatest songwriting. she wrote it all by herself.
One of my favorite albums from her. All its tracks are amazing. One of the best albums ever created. An Era unmatched in quality and vocally.
She revolutionised music, race relations, women in music, women's voices, celebrity status, artistry.. and she's just gone Diamond status for All I want for Christmas
Nobody can beat her discography
She should have at least won record of the year at the Grammys. I love how the 1996 Grammys is more remembered as the night that Mariah was robbed rather than the actual winners
Daydream is my favorite album of all time. It also came out the year I was born lol so I feel connected.
That's the reason why she have longevity. Because her voice suitable to everything. And she evolves included her vocals.

Emotions was actually extremely commercially successful. Even for that time it was extremely successful.

Someone commented on another video describing daydream as ethereal, and that has stuck with me since.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ! My favorite song on Daydream is Underneath The Stars !! I also love forever , melt away , and long ago
this album DESERVED the 1996 AOTY Grammy!!!!! She DESERVED IT SO MUCH!!!!
How that album changed music! You have sooooo many pop/rnb girlies who be on a upbeat track with Hardcore rappers because of that album!

When I saw Ariana being robbed at the 2020 grammy, I immediately thought of Mariah back in 1996.
Her vocal peak
I like 1994 Xmas Mariah vocal era a little better but Daydream vocals are awesome
Music Box is her actual vocal peak. Along with Merry Christmas.
@@rosemont2283 I love music box ( the song)
@@rosemont2283 her voice is more dynamic on Daydream than it is on music box. It is also the last album where Mariah sang with such flexibility. Her voice is stronger on Music Box, but her voice is more angelic on Daydream.
Yes nice review. I got it when it first came out back in 1995 it was a great album. You can definitely see the effect its had on more recent music.
LOVE LOVE LOVE DAYDREAM
also that long ago x the roof and underneath the stars x 4th of july comparison makes so much sense, never realized that
A power house record! revolutionizing the industry at all levels 👏🏻
What, Sure Emotions Wasn't As Suceessful As Her Debut But It Definetly Wasn't A Flop, Like It Went Quadruple Platinum And Sold 13 Million Copies Worldwide.
Mariah's agility in this album is insane.
My favorite singer and album of all time thank you so much!
OMG yesss another mariah video from this channel i love them so much they are so interesting!!
i literally love daydream
Melt away is my favorite song off daydream 😌😌
My favorite song of all time is I Am Free from her Daydream album.
Mariah Carey's voice on the Daydream album was at the top of the tune
My absolute favorite album of Queen Mimi ❤️
mariah carey is so amazing
3 months ago was your last. can't wait for a new video. waiting for your return flashy
Thank you for making this video🥺✨
miss u babe
underneath the stars is Mariah’s best song off that album
This was my 1st Mariah Carey album that I bought accidentally 🤭 but i never turned back after this..
Daydream > All
Favorite album of Mariah ❤️
In my not so humble opinion her second best album behind Butterfly. It could have been better had Slippin Away and One Night been included. Both are too good songs to be left off. Long Ago it’s like a follow up to Slippin, both of those songs could have been singles.
The album started with fantasy and ended with looking in 😭😭. Looking in is the saddest song.
Fantasy changed the music industry . Pop music could collaborate with hip hop.
This definitely changed my life too 💯✨🙏🏽😇
It's actually her best album.
*Emotions* & *MTV Unplugged* were commercially successful. They just weren't as successful as her other albums.
5:33 It's still the longest-running #1 song to debut at the top position
6:59 She and Boyz II Men should have won at least Best Pop Collaboration 📯
Iconic album
Music box sold over 35 million copies and daydream sold over 31 million. Get your facts right, she’s the greatest vocalist of all time and best selling female artist of all time
It's only certified 20 million
best selling female artist of all time is actually madonna
@@AmandaSantos-rd8zf Yeah, I love Mariah and I am a Lamb, But Madonna’s the highest selling female artist.

Black Queen 😍
Talk about Rainbow next! It's sad that she released it to leave Sony as soon as possible so the promotion is too fast ☹️
Please do a video about Selena Dreaming Of You 1995 album
Mariah dropping the X-mas album is the reason why every artist does the same. She lives off of "All I want for Christmas".
