Caution (2018).
How has it been 5 years without a proper new Mariah album? The Rarities was 2020 so going on three years since THAT :(
Best Song: A No No, GTFO, Portrait
Weakest Song: With You
Should Have Performed Better: GTFO, A No No
I hope you've enjoyed this countdown to Mariah's anniversary (tomorrow). Wednesday starts Gaga's (her birthday is Tuesday).

Me. I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse (2014).
Another underrated gem. It feels more like a collection of random songs though, so it turned off a lot of Lambs. I like it though.
Best Song: Meteorite.
Should Have Been Singles: Thirsty, You Don't Know What To Do, Meteorite.
Weakest Song: Supernatural (sorry Roc + Roe!)
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2009).
My least fave Mariah album. Half the album sounds like one continuous song. That said, it has two of my top 25 songs of hers.
Best Songs: H.A.T.E. U, Betcha Gon Know, Up Out My Face, Languishing
Worst Songs: Candy Bling, Ribbon, It's A Wrap, Standing O
Should Have Been Bigger: H.A.T.E. U, Up Out My Face.
Bad Single Choice: I Want To Know What Love Is
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
E=MC2 (2008).
My 2nd fave Mariah album with my 2nd fave song (and Migrate might be #3).
Best Song: Side Effects
Other awesomeness: Migrate, I Wish You Well
Should Have Been A Single (TM): Migrate
Should Not Have Been a Single: Bye Bye
Weakest Song: Last Kiss.

The Emancipation of Mimi (2005).
Mariah was snubbed for 2005 Album of the Year. Eff the Grammys.
Best Song: Stay the Night
Should Have Been #1: It's Like That
Worst Song: Your Girl
Should Have Been Singles: Stay the Night, Mine Again, One and Only
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
Charmbracelet, 2003.
Best Song: Subtle Invitation, Clown.
Should Have Been Singles: Clown, Irresistible, The One (original and So So Def Remix).
Hot Take: I like Boy (I Need You)
Overrated: Through The Rain is Cookie Cutter Mariah at her worst.
Charmbracelet is forgotten by most, very underrated and is Mariah at her lyrical best. Released in December :O

Enjoy Jazzariah!

Glitter (2001).
Yep, I bought this on 11/S.
Mariah's most underrated album. Every song is fantastic. An 80's concept album before 80s flashbacks became popular.
(We'll not discuss the film though).
Also...**** I don't know her.
Best Song: Want You (with Eric Benet)
Should Have Been a Bigger Hit: Never Too Far
Should Have Been On The Album: Out Here On My Own, original Loverboy
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
Rainbow, 1999.
Loved the promo for this era. It introduced us to Bianca.
Best/Fave Song: Petals
Best Single: Heartbreaker
Overrated: Bliss. Might be my least fave Mariah song.
Hot Take: I like Did I Do That?
It's one of her most forgotten albums, but it was a defining musical moment of my senior year of high school.
I remember watching this performance of Petals after GH. Mariah titled an album for the gays in 1999.
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch
Butterfly, 1997.
Best Song/Fave Song: Breakdown
Best Single: My All
Other Great Songs: Honey, Butterfly, The Beautiful Ones
Overrated: I've never liked fan fave Outside that much. Looking In is better.
Mariah's best album, and Breakdown is my fave song by her.
#HooraySongOfTheDay #MariahCarey #MariahMarch #MariahMonth
PS: Honey is her best video.
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
Daydream, 1995.
Best Song: Looking In, Long Ago.
Best Single: Fantasy
Other Great Songs: El amor que soΓ±Γ© (Open Arms), Forever, Always Be My Baby
Should Have Been a Single: Long Ago, Melt Away
Overrated: Still not sure how One Sweet Day spent 16 weeks at #1! Always Be My Baby is always a non-lamb's fave song, but Fantasy's way better!
Lots of good memories of this album, a few filler tracks though.
#mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth #hooraysongoftheday
Today's album.
Music Box, 1993.
Best Song: Music Box
Fave Song: Now That I Know.
Best Single: Without You (the song that made me a Mariah fan)
Other Great Songs: All I've Ever Wanted, Everything Fades Away
Should have been #1: Without You
Overrated: Dreamlover, Hero
Music Box was the first cassette I bought with my own money back in 1994. Alas, it hasn't held up and is one of my lesser Mariah albums
#mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth #hooraysongoftheday
Today's album.
Emotions, 1991.
Best Song, Fave Song and Single: Can't Let Go:
Other Great Songs: Make It Happen, So Blessed.
Should Have Been a #1: Can't Let Go:
Overrated: Emotions, The Wind.
Emotions has always been one of my least fave Mariah albums, but Can't Let Go is one of her best songs ever.
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmarch #mariahmonth
Today's album:
Mariah Carey (self-titled debut), 1990.
Best Song and Single: Vision of Love
Fave song: Prisoner
Other great songs: Someday, There's Got To Be A Way, All In Your Mind, Love Takes Time
Should have been an official single: TGTBAW
Overrated: Don't have one!
Definitely one of her must have albums.

Recorded for Charmbracelet, didn't make the final cut in the US (May have been on the Japanese version--I knew I had it from KaZaA shh) appeared on The Remixes. One of my Mariah Jams.
Tomorrow starts the official countdown to her anniversary of her 12th birthday!
#hooraysongoftheday #mariahcarey #mariahmonth #mariahmarch
It's not often I find a new remix, but when I went looking for "If You Should Be Lonely", a song remixed into "Heartbreaker", I found this remix of the remix!
(Comment for the #Lambs and #Lambily who will get the reference "Gotta KIT Keep it together keep it togetherrrrrrrrr")
#hooraysongoftheday #lambs #lambily #mariahcarey #mariahmarch
Psst, even in 2022, Mariah had a big hit appearing on Latto's sample of Mariah's Fantasy, which was famous sampling of The Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love.
