Preliminary rate:
08 Here We Go Around Again - I would have loved to hear Whitney on this
07 Can You Hear Me? - she's more vocals than melody, but we love to hear it
09 Do You Think of Me? - like a girl you knew from afar in the gym but now she's in your friendship circle
11 Everything Fades Away - we already stanned; we had no choice etc.
07 All I Live For - a cute girl but not the best Marianasieff moment
08 One Night - a cute Waterfalls moment; I always appreciate those layered 90s gospel-ish vocals.
@funky will stan.
10 Slipping Away - I wish this had made it onto Daydream, it would have tipped the balance and turned it into an actual R&B album. God, actually, imagine if she took out Open Arms and When I Saw You and replaced them with this and One Night? It would have SLAPPED the fuck out of us 10-15yo urban-oriented queens.
11 Out Here On My Own - I just love it; "
I may not win; but I can't be thrown" is one of my favourite Mariah moments in years
16 Loverboy (True, Stolen Version) -
When he ask me over, I cum every time *hymen snaps* WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
06 I Pray - the kind of song you expect "I wrote it for a competition winner on Oprah" to be
07 Cool On You - could be a grower, the vocal damage seems most evident here though, but it's E=MC era so what were we expecting?
09 Mesmerized - the best of the latter-day tracks; could easily have replaced some stuff on Elusive Chanteuse. She was really confused during this time about what direction to pursue....
07 Lullaby of Birdland - I mean, what can I say, it's better than the Gags jazz album
08 Save The Day - I was underwhelmed at first, but now I kind of love its messiness and I will never not love hearing Mariah sing that la-la-Lauryn part
09 Close My Eyes - cute re-do, but the original remains the definitive
