@JJH4rris@MariahUniverse Hard for anyone born after 2000 to realise that Mariah actually did some choreo both in her music videos (Honey & Heartbreaker) and her concerts (Breakdown, Dreamlover, Honey, Heartbreaker, My All / Stay A While remix).
@HawkEmDownChris Mariah, Whitney and Janet are the ones who have enough of a catalogue to keep you occupied for the 12hrs without having to repeat some albums.
If you include all the remixes, MC is on lock for this flight.
@JamesMulamb Two different eras:
Emotions - learning her craft, got early indications of her influences (Emotions, Can't Let Go, Its Over, The Wind).
MIAM - 200M+ albums, 18 #1s, a family, career locked in, more relaxed in her sound (#Beautiful, Dedicated, You're Mine)
My pick: Emotions
@anonymissjane Would've been smarter to hold it for final pitch or played it for herself. The dick move gave her no real advantage, lost Keeley's vote and any respect from the viewing jury.
@METAVERZUZ The 90s were my clubbing days, so I had a LOT of timestamps through music.
However, I feel like the 80s had a broader audience appeal. The 90 had genres peaked (house, rap, rock, garage, country, R&B) but the 80s was a more stable palatable (possibly boring?) decade.
@bblmariah Played the album version until my cassette wore out... then she released this New Jackswing version... and I was completely obsessed. Wore that tape out, too. It's still my favourite track of her debut.
@octohouston2000@fatalany@bblmariah She failed SO bad, it became her 3rd of 5 consecutive #1 hits.
But I see what you're saying. Kinda like Beyonce saying she wanted to do melissima to emulate Mariah & her range but could never.
Same as Mariah (19) & Whitney (11), but with less #1s - that's how this works, right?
@lustfordaydream This is a GREAT question!!! I think about this often... and is tough.
Run to You - Whitney Houston
Heaven - Bryan Adams
With or Without You - U2
Praying for Time - George Michael
