August 8, 20205 yr I was looking at her discography page and she has so many good options for this round! 'Make It Happen' and 'You Don't Know What To Do' (again *.*) in particular for me, and 'My All' might be one of her most popular ballads, and 'Anytime You Need A Friend' is the best of the 'Music Box' singles imo! Plus there's the song you did not name yourself after :kink: And yet none of those are even worth mentioning because they're dwarfed by 'Always Be My Baby' - impressive. It's not necessarily my favourite, but it's a strong choice!
August 8, 20205 yr My All is a reasonably good choice also if you're going for the single remix - I remember liking that
August 8, 20205 yr Author I love My All and Anytime You Need a Friend in particular :wub: I'd say Always Be My Baby is the strongest song mentioned so far and has the highest chance of doing well (watch it end up in 11th place :kink: ). I think I'd be happy to send it now, though it could in theory still be saved for a later round (at the expense of songs like Dreamlover/Honey/Emotions/It's Like That having a chance at being sent).
August 9, 20205 yr Always Be My Baby is not only my fave Mariah song, it's one of my fave songs of all time :wub:

Looking In would be my top pick! Have a listen if you don't know it: 6bmNjh_M-Qc It's a very poignant and sad song, and I think it's stunning. :heart: Not a typical ballad. Any other suggestions are welcome!
August 11, 20205 yr Not sure if this would be considered mid/down tempo but I personally love mine again from emancipation but not sure if it would qualify
August 11, 20205 yr I’d quite like to see some Caution representation honestly- With You and The Distance are great
August 12, 20205 yr Author Looking In - Jay Mine Again - elgornio The Distance - George With You - George If not Looking In, The Distance would be my second choice! More feedback would be very appreciated. :heart:

Ty Dolla $ign) Well, that didn't go the distance x I don't regret sending it per se. The Distance is a major fan favourite, is generally considered as being the highlight track from 'Caution', and regarded as a missed single opportunity! I think it's a very good example to showcase modern Mariah. I'm not really sure what would have been more appealing in that round. Anyway, moving on...! Round 10 is Free Choice, so please recommend which single you think is strong enough to do the business for Mariah! There's loads to choose from. Here are 10 songs that have cropped up as suggestions in previous rounds. Hopefully we can narrow it down: Anytime You Need a Friend Dreamlover Emotions Hero Honey It's Like That My All Obsessed Touch My Body Without You
August 14, 20205 yr My ranking! Taking into account both personal opinion + what I think might do well. My All Touch My Body Dreamlover Hero It's Like That Obsessed Honey Emotions Without You Anytime You Need a Friend :thinking: LOTS of choice for this one, a hard decision to make!
August 14, 20205 yr Author Thank you Joseph!! *.* If more of you could rank, that would be very helpful! By the way, a notable omission above is We Belong Together... but I was thinking of sending that for a future round... :thinking:
August 14, 20205 yr This would be my personal ranking: Emotions My All Dreamlover Obsessed Touch My Body Without You Hero It's Like That Honey Anytime You Need a Friend It does seem to be that upbeat Mariah seems to be outperforming her slower songs based on that track record so maybe uptempo might be a path to go down. I don't envy your decision though Jay as these are all pretty fabulous tracks and deserve an opportunity to be showcased :cry:
