A Mariah - Glitter listen party (8pm TONIGHT)

[Jark]

I really feel like this song is very confused about what it wants to be. much like ice cream on a warm June day, it tastes good but it's melting, fast.

 

[straightorbroken]

I guess not getting that sample partly explains why Lover Boy sounds like such a dry hump

 

[HeLikedTurner]

This is one of my favourite Mimi ballards! Sheer CLASS.

 

[straightorbroken]

From rnb thrush to rnb slush.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

From rnb thrush to rnb slush.

Oh but WHAT SLUSH. It's divine!

[GNL]

I'm getting the feeling this album isn't going to be for me.

Not living up to the 9/11 gif it was created to soundtrack so far.

 

[SDF]

what song are you on?

 

[SDF]

Lead The Way is STUNNING, anyone who says otherwise is needs to go see a heart surgeon

 

[Jark]

I don't love Lead The Way... The vocals sound so cut and paste when she switches between lower and upper register. They should have just double tracked them. It's a shame because the melodies are pretty sweet and she does sound great from two minutes in when she's allowed to just go for it oh my god

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Guys, Lead the Way is flawless. The way it builds and builds to that almost neverending final note! It's what divas were created for!

 

[HeLikedTurner]

GOOSEBUMPS at that breath control!

 

[Jark]

I'm getting the feeling this album isn't going to be for me.

it's been a LONG TIME since I've listened to Glitter properly, but I seem to remember it gets weird and super gay enough in places to justify your perseverance...

 

[straightorbroken]

Anything J-Lo can do...

 

[HeLikedTurner]

"If We" is my toilet break.

 

[straightorbroken]

I usually sign out when it's the airvent vocals.

 

[GNL]

Anything J-Lo can do...

Mariah was planning to do two weeks earlier?

 

[SDF]

OMG @HeLikedTurner you said it better than I ever could

Leeeeaaaad the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaay

 

[straightorbroken]

It's not as if this doesn't sound like a hit for the times.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Mariah was planning to do two weeks earlier?

Did Tommy Mottola help to sabotage Loverboy by letting J-Lo know about the sample?

 

[Jark]

If We is so tasty. I fucking love it. It's frothy like a '90s hangover Shake It Off.

 

[SDF]

If We is trash

 

[HeLikedTurner]

If We is trash

It really is. It doesn't work on ANY level. Utter shite.

 

[Jark]

If We has fallen apart completely oops!

I got nice and high this evening and I'm WELL in the mood to find everything either amazing/shite/exquisitely Mariah/all of the above.

 

[straightorbroken]

I may google image Ja Rule later. I can't remember how fit he was.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

80s disco fabulousness! This is IMMENSE!

 

[GNL]

'Didn't Mean To Turn You On' sounds MORE LIKE IT.

 

[straightorbroken]

I love this. Her disco steals on this album are amazing.

 

[straightorbroken]

Up there with Javine and Richard X.

 

[straightorbroken]

That skittery Prince decorations are deluxe.

 

[Jark]

Her vocals on I Didn't Mean To Turn You On, when she goes into that rich upper register, are... everything. And the whistles. She's in full command.

 

[straightorbroken]

This song gives me the wind machine and pretend long hair feels

 

[Jark]

oh my god, yes, this is taking me to CHURCH, GIRLS!

 

[SDF]

This is a tune.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

If We was crap, but the ballads, the disco covers and that Benet duet were all 11/10s. (Especially Never Too Far and Lead the Way)

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Don't Stop isn't bad. Not amazing either, but it bops just enough.

 

[straightorbroken]

I actually like Mariah's airy deposits on this, but the diabetic rapper got old real fast.

 

[GNL]

This song is very 'stuck behind people having a row at the Arianna Grande gig'.

 

[Jark]

It hits the bop quotient and spends no further energy. She's had much inferior filler over the years, this is rich. The piano elements on these hazy disco bangers add a real touch of CLASS

 

[SDF]

Yeah, Mariah sounds good on Don't Stop but the rapper is garbage
