@@strangerthings88Honestly I think people are confused about her not being appreciated vs her not being appreciated with the modern generation, which makes sense since she’s a 90s-00s artist
mariah is so underrated, i'm so happy someone finally reacted to this amazing album. i thought i would never see you react to mimi haha. mine again and circles are my favourite tracks from mimi.
@@markmenez4097if were speaking about today’s time, she is kinda underrated. a lot of people just see her as a christmas act and not THE MARIAH CAREY. especially younger ones.
@@axeltimotheo2942 she really is not she’s a legend she has nothing to prove . I stand by that only younger people under 20 yes. Still a lot of young people know her also besides a Christmas act get out from under a rock.
Fun fact: LA Reid, the head of island def jam her record label at the time, told Mariah that the album was missing something, so her and jermaine dupri went back into the studio and wrote we belong together. The deadline for the album was due and Mariah had no time to record multiple takes and she recorded we belong together in ONE take!
She was also under pressure since during the recording, some music executives came to see how the recording was going, so when the climax came she hadn’t planned anything yet but she didn’t want to underwhelm them, so she jumped an octave and poured her heart out 😂
Between her pen game, vocals, layering, production, and just overall musicality you might have to go through her whole discography, including the rarities, the remixes, and all deluxe and Platinum editions. I promise you it's amazing, and also check out lives. She very often makes the songs even harder to sing live, and not just by a little. There is a reason she is called The Songbird Supreme
@@DarrellMarch90 According to Cambridge dictionary Critically acclaimed means “attracting approval and praise from critics (= people whose job is to give their opinions, especially about things such as films, books, music, etc.)”
Agreed. I bought this CD twice just to have that song and the extra DVD, which is quite interesting a watch, seeing her preparing tours with her team and being interviewed.
This album was a big F you to the world for Mariah because at that time everyone had pretty much written her off as an artist past her prime with a failing voice. Hence why it’s probably her most vocally extreme album
so happy u reacted to this album! i recently got into mariah a few months ago + this is definitely my favourite album from her, classic 2000s r&b vibes and her voice is everything. you’d probably like her last album caution too!
Okay, I grew up listening to Mimi. This is my favorite album by her. Joyride happens to be one of my favorite songs by her. Her lyricism is so heartfelt, the raw emotionalism behind her voice, the nuance in the vowels and consonants…. the ephemerality is real. And I’m happy you enjoyed it
Mariah used to do demos for producers before she was a teenager walking up and down NY. She knew what she wanted to do. When she got her record deal her one clause was that she didn’t have to sing other people’s songs anymore. That’s why she’s so successful and owns her own masters. We don’t deserve such a talent. People really don’t get it.
Im so thrilled you’re on the Mariah Carey albums! This one is one of her best but I definitely recommend you give her older albums another try. You may not vibe with every song but you’ll definitely find a few you’ll love for life. Her voice always sounds amazing, but is arguably at its prime in some of her albums from the 90s!
THIS ALBUM!!!!!! Was my musical awakening!!!! I felt things I had never felt before when listening to music. Fly Like a Bird, Mine Again slayed my little 7 year old sense. Then all the upbeat tracks, Say Somethin, One & Only, all her number one hits from this album too... I was shook to my core! Every track hits. It's funny, this album doesn't sound dated to me at all. I couldn't put a time on it because I think I have it on repeat for at least one month of the year, every year. It's timeless. :)
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! Mariah Carey is my FAVORITE artist ever!!!! and ive been watching you since your beyonce journey I wouldve NEVER expected this OMGGGG!! If Butterfly and Daydream werent your style but you enjoyed this then try out her 2000s work. I think the best thing to listen to after this would be the album that came after E=MC2. It's the follow up to this album and the title literally stands for Emancipation = Mariah Carey squared and it's a really fun album! EDIT: Finished the reaction so glad you enjoyed it here are my album recommendations from Mariah in SWIFTIE language! -E=MC2(2008) if you just want to have a fun time with a lot of bops listen to this one the Taylor equivalent would be like Lover in that its just generally happy and fun -Memoirs of an imperfect angel(2009) FOR HER SONGWRITING this album really has it all! The storytelling is amazing and swiftie to swiftie this album is like her reputation its all about the DRAMA but also kind of like folklore in that most of the songs are fiction or stories from her friends. -Charmbracelet(2002) another album with amazing songwriting. She was going through a lot while making this album and this was her healing album. If you want to get sad but occasionally bop and get uplifted this one is for you. Think of like depressing red lyrics but 2000s R&B or Gracie Abraham whispery vocals but with Mariah runs. -Caution(2018) her most recent album (shes apparently recording a new album right now though) this one was what got me into her. It's a lot more recent so you might connect with the sounds here a lot more! It's also really short and has a ton of fun songs but also a cool late-night vibe. It's like if midnights was an R&B album.
So happy for such a genuine reaction….incredible. MC is a crazy talented vocalist, producer, songwriter and composer. PLEASE listen to her 1st album launched in 1990 when she was 20. THAT had so many different genres ❤
omg i was so not expecting this 😩 but i knewww you would appreciate her work. i absolutely love that you also love the EXPLOSIVE choruses because those changed my life when i heard them the first time. literally took up all of my sensory input when i heard that belt
Among all of the people who recorded their reaction discovering this masterpiece, yours brought me back to the first time hearing it completely after frantically buying the CD from FYE after work. Thank you for taking us through your journey! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my queen! :) Can’t wait to see more! :)
I'm forever grateful that I got see her 4th row during the emancipation tour. In my opinion, it was the last tour she's done where her vocals sounded really healthy.
I’m halfway through your reaction and I LOVE IT!!! I love hearing what this sounds like to a completely new generation. I became a lamb in 1992. Love that you are pointing out the pen game, the flow, the vocal diversity!! ❤️ 😊
This was the first Mariah Carey CD that I purchased, and I listen to it over and over and over again. I had no complaints about one song. It’s perfection. Just give her her props, please!
@BethThereseReacts She is the best selling female artist since Soundscan began tracking sales in 1991.. She sold close to 60 million albums in the US and Celine Dion is not far behind her also having sold over 50 million albums in the US as well
Your reaction is soooo good. Your mini freakout on "To the Floor," is really cute. I'm STILL OBSESSED with this album. So many favorites on this project. And YESSSSSS, "Mine Again" has that effect on a lot of people!
There is something about this Era, I still remember seeing the cover of the album for the first time, it was really impactful, it was not just another album. That truly was the album of the year. It had the power of Mariah from the 90s but with a new vibe.
This album started off in the club, and ended up in church. Mariah fans are VERY familiar with her ability to have you MIGRATE your way emotionally from one to the other. Welcome to the Mariah Rabbit Hole. I was a fan of hers since I first heard Vision of Love in the summer of 1990 and thought "oh wow, Whitney's new song is fire!!" Had no idea until I saw the video that it wasn't Whitney Houston singing that song, but some new girl named Mariah Carey. And it was a done deal from there. She ruled the 90s. Her music was the soundtrack of my childhood. I'd say her powerhouse vocals were in that first decade of her career. She was already a great lyricist, since she wrote and co-produced every song on her debut album. But she truly came into her own in the 2000s, when she started experimenting more with her sound, and her voice changing over the years as a result of all that work she put in. If this was more your cup of tea than her earlier stuff, I recommend her three albums from that time period that I believe you'd enjoy: E=MC2, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, and Caution. That being said...the 90s kid in me would be remiss in not telling you that you're doing yourself a great disservice by not going through a journey of her catalog from the beginning. :) Enjoy, and looking forward to your next one!
First i have to say it was a pleasure watching you get entranced by the many talents of our Mariah Carey. Prolly the best part is the unexpectedness of it all, cuz Mariah aims to touch you in so many different & surprising ways. This album was considered a historic comeback back in its day. So glad to see through your reaction this album still retained its original fun, jubilant spirit and heartfelt, profound joy. An album packed with great songs that only MC can bring !! ❤🎉😊
Guuuuurrrrlll OMG I am so glad I found this video. I am so delighted to see someone partake in the euphoric emotional rollercoaster Mariah delivers through her music…
So I used to be meh about Mariah but my husband who’s a bit older (same age as MC) really gave me a lot of the insights into the parts of her life as they coincided with her albums and they make you appreciate them even more. This album coming after her movie flop and mental breakdown and Charmbracelet where she didn’t really siiiiiiiing like she used to, it was huge for her long time fans. She was not only emancipating herself on the dance floor, but it’s really about her saying she’s tired of the haters and everything and she’s just gonna do whatever she wants because she can. And she was finally SINGING again. Fabulous. Also: the bass player on this album is Randy Jackson. Yes, THAT Randy Jackson. He has been playing for Mariah since the beginning of her career. Similarly Butterfly came right after her very public divorce from her ex who essentially treated her like property. She wasn’t allowed to tap into her black side in her music because the label wouldn’t let her. So Butterfly was her finally being allowed to do the music she wanted to, embrace her black side, and again, be free to venture into the sound she really wanted to do from the beginning. I highly recommend trying that one again with that context - it honestly makes me cry thinking about her in that time and how liberating that album was for her. Loved watching this and seeing Mariah get the love she truly deserves 🙌🙌🙌
You should check out We Belong Together/Fly Like A Bird live performance from the Grammys. Especially Fly Like A Bird, the performance was glorious and truly showcased her vocal
I know this video is a little bit old now but if you ever feel like it go back and watch the music videos for 'its like that ' and 'we belong together '. The music videos are connected. That is the reason you kinda get those 2 conflicting vibes in songs lol. I'm not all the way through this video yet but I'm happy you are experiencing Mariah Carey. She has been one of my favorites for many many many many many many years now and I love this album a lot. She's one of the OG's for a reason lol. I'll most likely go and listen to it again myself now as well lol
Iight this is the first video I’ve seen by you and I’m subscribing! This is my mom’s favorite Mariah album, and mine too! It’s cool to see you groove to it!
it's interesting that you didnt love daydream and butterfly, but then u loved Mine and Circles which i think of emancipation are more like those albums. this album is so great, a classic for a reason !!!
24:18 you’re totally right. This is not an album you listen to all the time, BUT i promise you’ll revisit it when you need to hear it & you’ll bawl your eyes out 😂
this is one of my favorite album of hers. My favorites are Fly like a bird, i wish you knew, circles, mine again, it's like that, we belong together. She is an amazing vocalist. Her voice is heaven ✨😌🦋
Only album that tops this is Butterfly. Then this album, then Daydream, Music Box and then E=MC2!!! Those five albums are pure BLISS. All her albums are iconic but these five are just so smooth.
Yayyy, so glad you enjoyed it and got it. I think for you "Caution" and "Me I am Mariah, The elusive chanteuse" are albums that could work for you as well.
We have Beyoncé, Ariana, Tori Kelly, Jojo and Jazmine Sullivan I know. But no one will ever beat Mimi's flow and cadence and her bars. She's crazy, a megastar but still under appreciated especially now.
I really enjoyed your reaction. Is not that we lambs want to convert everybody, but appreciate Mariah0s artristry, and you just did it and it was awesome to watch. Thanks a lot and hope you can review some other of her works in the future.
Started in the club, ended in church. Only Mariah.

ooh ok!
@@BethThereseReacts Oh yes please, react to CAUTION that album inspired ari that's why Positions was born.

@@DarrellMarch90 According to Cambridge dictionary Critically acclaimed means “attracting approval and praise from critics (= people whose job is to give their opinions, especially about things such as films, books, music, etc.)”
I love Fly Like a Bird but I pretty much only listen to live versions now. The Grammy performance is next level.....
She was already successful, but this album proved that she IS the goat
This was her comeback album after the one before flopped/ mental drama. This album proved she was back and here to stay.
OMG you needed to do "Dont forget about us" the best bonus song EVER!!!!!!
Number 1 daahhhling 😅
it's not a bonus lol It's in the Ultra Platinum aka Deluxe Edition. Sprung or Secret Love are bonuses.
You are so right. I used to call that the second coming of “We Belong Together” because I couldn’t decide which one I loved more.
Agreed. I bought this CD twice just to have that song and the extra DVD, which is quite interesting a watch, seeing her preparing tours with her team and being interviewed.
The vocal clarity on Mine Again is insane
Watch the live version of her singing Fly Like a Bird from the 48th Grammys. Girrrrrl chills!!!!
I cant believe this album came out 20 years agoooo 🥰
Mine again will always be my favourite song from the album 🦋
Mine Again should’ve been a single! Hands down my favorite song she’s ever written!
you get it!!
I screamed at “the vocals just got more and more insane” that’s pretty accurate for most of Mariah’s songs 😂
It’s Like That is a great opener and it sets the mood for the entire album. That track is absolutely underrated.
Test, I live especially that pre- chorus: ,,"Cause iiiiit's myyyy night..."
This album was a big F you to the world for Mariah because at that time everyone had pretty much written her off as an artist past her prime with a failing voice. Hence why it’s probably her most vocally extreme album

@@xavierfox13 thank you!♥️
24:18 you’re totally right. This is not an album you listen to all the time, BUT i promise you’ll revisit it when you need to hear it & you’ll bawl your eyes out 😂
this is one of my favorite album of hers. My favorites are Fly like a bird, i wish you knew, circles, mine again, it's like that, we belong together. She is an amazing vocalist. Her voice is heaven ✨😌🦋
Also glad that you liked Jermaine Dupri, he’s one of Mariah’s best friends in the industry and he appears on SO MANY of her songs.
omg how u mentioned how the strain adds to the beauty of the song, absolutely agree it smacks you in the face
That "Carry me home, carry me hoooooome" in Fly like a bird worth the whole album
Everyone in the world needs to listen to this album its a masterpiece
This is EVERYTHING!!!!! Thank you dahling
🥺♥️♥️♥️
Amazing album ❤ thank you for reacting!!
awesome reaction!!! no skip needed
thank you!!
Through the rain was the same for me, so many levels to her voice she is amazing ❤
Love your reaction 💜 Great album too 😊
Only album that tops this is Butterfly. Then this album, then Daydream, Music Box and then E=MC2!!! Those five albums are pure BLISS. All her albums are iconic but these five are just so smooth.
Yayyy, so glad you enjoyed it and got it.
I think for you "Caution" and "Me I am Mariah, The elusive chanteuse" are albums that could work for you as well.
So for Your Girl she uses a sample and the different voices are Adeaze and the song is A Life Without You
I’m obsessed with your reaction to this album 😭😭 thank god you enjoyed it and also fly like a Bird makes me want to cry
Aw thank you 😭🙏🏻 glad you enjoyed! and glad i enjoyed too lol 😁
It was fun going on this adventure with u. It’s such a beautiful album. Iconic and one of her best. ❤
yay glad you enjoyed!!!
listen to her album CAUTION. It's not a commercial success, but it's gorgeous.❤
Caution next please!! You're gonna love it ❤❤
Mariah’s Vocabulary are the smartest in pop history! FACT! She’s a
Songwriters Hall of Famer dahhhling!!!
I loved your analysis, thank you very much.❤❤❤
So glad tour best reaction was to "Joy Ride"! That songs deserves so much more recognition
We have Beyoncé, Ariana, Tori Kelly, Jojo and Jazmine Sullivan I know. But no one will ever beat Mimi's flow and cadence and her bars. She's crazy, a megastar but still under appreciated especially now.
This is my favorite album of all time…(that I’ve ever heard) I feel sorry for people who have never heard it in the most sincere way.
I really enjoyed your reaction. Is not that we lambs want to convert everybody, but appreciate Mariah0s artristry, and you just did it and it was awesome to watch. Thanks a lot and hope you can review some other of her works in the future.
