Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.

Gurl you know I'm just playin'!!! But Charli will be lucky to have a career that lasts long enough to produce something on the level of Born This Way or Ray of Light/Confessions lbr

BTW how do you capture metacritic images like that? I was on the page and cannot figure it out..... I was gonna use another of my fave's Sade's well reviewed latest album Soldier of Love against you haha

It was not intended as shade, I didn't find a gif in that classy suit she used to perform tough =/

EDIT: Well, there is this one =P

I'm part of the problem... I only listen her singles since they are almost always amazing and are put a lot of time in radio and clubs so they are everywhere.

I tried to listen her full albums starting with Rated R but It didn't quite click but will try this one since looks interesting, mostly because I like 45 Seconds.

True; to be honest, I was afraid I was going to get a lashing from people who feel like she doesn't belong there :-(

I love Celine I don't know why the rest of PopGaf hates her. She's talented and a class act irl.

Haha thanks I'm gonna install it ;)

It's pointless to compare album reviews. So many different things go into a reviewer's opinion of what they're reviewing.

Yeah like how Charli's album shits on Gaga's latest efforts. How Gaga is done and how Gaga is only a joke of her former self.

There is no comparison talent wise. Gaga's live vocals >>>>>> Charli's

Compare Gaga's stellar live performance @ the Grammys vs. Charli's disastrous live SNL performance. Charli's a cool chick and does "Avril" better than Avril but let's not pretend she isn't a studio artist not a live one.

Sis but you didn't lie. If I can run a query on this entire thread for how many times Gaga is mentioned, she will be at Mariah 100:1. I don't know how Mariah even got the titled when no one talks about her. Only her stans are percheD for her next failure. Everyone seems to ALWAYS leave out hope for Gaga. It why we keep having these about which one is her best album. I'm gonna have to start bookmarking pages of this lol.


Sweetheart, plenty of people talk about her. Just because you have no interest in her is irrelvant. All kinds of irrelevant, I might add.

She is the most talented vocalist in pop music (a panel that she shares only with three other ladies: Barbra, Aretha and Whitney); (Her coloratura abilities, however, give her the slight edge, though, IMHO.

Queen Mimi remains unbothered.

LOL @ the nerve of some people up here. SMH

You tried iT, TBH

See y'all, I'm learning the lingo!

Drag iT!

Beyonce as a sanger wouldn't exist without Queen Mimi. Ha' influence is long reaching and everlasting.

I still love you, Aya.

Alrighty! I'm mostly interested in her pre-EoM remixes anyway :p
Sorry, I've been running late with listing her remixes with new vocals. :p Been busy!


I can't use, though. It lacks that magic touch that I'm sure would have been recreated had she decided to head into the studio to redo the arrangement.

Wow! I really like this, what's this from a collection or remix album? Reminds me of the awesome songs Cece Peniston would release in the 90's

Most of her dance remixes from Butterfly and prior have either a C&C Music Factory or House vibe. Afterward, she focuses more on Hip Hop/R&B-influenced club tracks that are midtempo.

Off the top of my head:

What's funny is that I was listening to Broke w/ Expensive Taste and thinking how a lot of the tracks would fit right in with Mariah's earlier dance remixes -- only of course, being completely vocally re-imagined. Closest to any of the current pop chicks producing something similar is Katy Perry's Walking On Air, but that chorus is totally deflated.

Yas! All this love to Mariah remixes make me happy =D

When the song starts with that "You're giving me sweet, sweet..." I was reminded of the Fantasy remix, I think is one of my favorite songs from Perry.

It's February 11, 1997, Mariah Carey enters McDonalds. Mimi walks to the front of the line, skipping her peasants, and orders a #2 with large fries.

"What kind of drink, M'am," asks the peasant.

Mariah giggles to herself, and without making eye-contact says, "A splash of Diet Coke, Darling. I'm watching my figure."

Mariah pulls out the check she received for her last album and tells the peasant to "keep the change." After receiving her food, Mariah sits at the table with the fewest crumbs and guzzles down some fries.



Suddenly, Mariah hears a duet between BabyFace and an angelic voice. The Elusive Chanteuse adjusts her sunglasses and lets out a giggle. Every Time I Close My Eyes is playing on the radio, and Mariah smiles at other customers each time her background vocals grace their ears.





...And then she woke up.

It's February 11, 2015.

Mariah and her child are rummaging through the fridge for a late night snack. Mariah ponders to herself, "Boston Cream Pie or Banana Split?" as she shifts around her various tubs of ice-cream.

Suddenly, Mariah hears a duet of between BabyFace and an angelic voice emitting from her television. The song bird supreme lets out a shrill cackle, then looks down at her daughter.

"Come, Monroe. The image box is playing Mommy's music," she says, cheeks elevated.

By the time Mariah reaches her television, the music has stopped playing and all that is left is applause. Mariah looks at her television, and her eyes bulge. The five octave diva lets out an F5 scream.

The television shows Babyface and Ariana Grande at the Stevie Wonder tribute.


Mariah rushes to her computer to complain.

What is with Marina's voice being heavily filtered on a lot of these songs? It's annoying af. Not to mention superfluous.

That aside, Froot is pretty damn good. Savages won't stop punching.

Underneath it all we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages
How can we expect anything at all
We're just animals still learning how to crawl

What more can I give?
What more can I say?
I can't make you love me anyway

Oh, maybe I'm not the one
Oh, maybe I'm too young
But for reasons why I can't deny
I'm a fool for you, fool for you, fool for you

Oh, maybe I'm not the one
Oh, maybe I'm too young
But for reasons why I can't deny
I'm a fool for you, fool for you
I'm a fool for you, yeah, I'm a fool for you

I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you

Unpopular oppinion: Even with all its shit and bloat, Rebel Heart is vastly better than MDNA and Hard Cand. I've actually been enjoying it quite a lot, even though half the tracks arent necessary.

I have been LIVING for that baby sample in autotune baby. The rest of the song is trash but I love that sample for some reason

Sing, Nina and Photograph are giving me life right now...

EDIT: What kind of subtle shade to say that Rebel Heart is at least better than MDNA? =P

I'm avoiding the leaks out of semi-stan respect but here's my two cents on the songs out so far:

Living For Love - LOVE
Devil Pray - LOVE
Ghosttown- LOVE
Unapologetic Bitch - Meh
Illuminati - Nope
Bitch I'm Madonna - Nope
Joan Of Arc - LOVE
Hold Tight - LOVE
Iconic - LOVE

So far this is shaping up to be a certified slay Madge... just keep up the classy mid-tempos and avoid the songs that rob your legacy for the sake of sounding "edgy."

“You’re Mine (Eternal)" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on February 12, 2014, as the third single from her fourteenth studio album, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse.
A second version of the song was also released on the same date, featuring American R&B singer-songwriter Trey Songz. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, many of whom compared it to Carey’s 2005 comeback hit “We Belong Together”. It charted inside the top forty in Hungary, Korea, and Spain.
In the United States, the song peaked at number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100, although it was more successful on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs format, where it reached top-thirty.
You’re Mine reached #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs (Billboard)
making it her 17th number one on the chart. Celebrate!!!!
