Members Sylph Posted November 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 2, 2009 I absolutely have to keep my hope high that she'll come to her senses! This really is naaaasty! What was she thinking? Critics said Through the Rain is Vision of Love meets Hero. And it kind of - is. She is generally known to repeat a song or a formula, she just makes it a bit different so that it's not really the same song again even though it kind of is. For example, We Belong Together was remade into Don't Forget About Us. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 2, 2009 Members Share Posted November 2, 2009 Mariah just needs to cover up. I may have heard that comparison when Charmbracelet came out, but I think the song(aside from it being an inspirational, Hero-esque ballad) really stands on it's own. Or how "I Only Wanted" was basically a more desperate "My All." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted November 3, 2009 Members Share Posted November 3, 2009 Oh... I was referring to "Best Of My Love"... but those outfits she wears. My GOODNESS. And a woman her age. She certainly likes to show off her jiggle don't she? Something tells me that in 25 years, she's gonna be looking like this onstage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 3, 2009 Members Share Posted November 3, 2009 At least that lady's covering her cleavage. After they were sued, she and the record company ended up paying for using that sample, even though they don't have to put it in future editions of the liner notes. I don't get why this is such a big deal, even now. She didn't plagiarize the person who wrote Best of My Love. She may have initially done that with a different melody and the people who did the music(C&C) may have decided to use that sample. She may have heard it and liked it, not fully knowing the sample. Hell, I didn't know there was a sample of Best of My Love until I looked it up on the internet in college. I can't even really tell anyway.

Members alphanguy74 Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Haha... I am a fan of Freda Payne, but us fans joke amongst ourselves that we are going to take up a collection to buy her a brassiere, I cna't find it, but I had a picture of her in a gold lame' bare midriff outfit...a woman of 63!! My comparison was that Mariah is I'm SURE not going to be presenting herself in an age approriate way in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted November 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 4, 2009 I like the cover - it's/she very hot. Mariah can still sometimes look hot, and I'm glad she still hasn't lost that (yet). Still haven't listened to the album yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I wonder how much she had to "suck it in" and how many photoshop editors worked on that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 5, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 5, 2009 As long as she looks good in photoshoots and videos, she can "suck it in" and photoshop all she wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
