Don’t forget You’re Mine! You’ll enjoy that one. Not sure why it wasn’t streamed initially though.

[@rhettmitchell]

Omg I can’t believe he didn’t listen to that one!

[@mariahcareylambilyy]

Where's You're Mine (Eternal)? It's on the standard edition of the album 😭

[@xejelah]

that's what I was wondering - how did they miss an actual single from the album?

[@mariom6800]

Stevie Wonder actually plays harmonica on Make It Look Good and on the intro he's saying "MARIAH" with it lol

[@karlbythesea]

He said "I love you Mariah"

[@sethygmc]

Omg you SKIPPED “You’re Mine (Eternal)” 😩 you have to go back and do that one for us

[@gabrieleforestiero7255]

Two songs from the album are missing: You're mine and The art of letting go😅

[@xejelah]

Both SINGLES!

[@gabrieleforestiero7255]

@xejelah you're wrong... I have the album and the songs are present... they are track number 7 and track number 17

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

You may not realize it, but "Dedicated" has a lot of references in it. It does sample a Wu Tang Clan song, but lyrically it also references their album 36 Chambers (the line "Tell me can you visualize 36 chambers high"), as well as Eric B's "Eric Is President," Doug E Fresh's "La Di Da Di," and Mariah's own "Fantasy." In the context of the album the song is Mariah being nostalgic about how music made her happy, in contrast to (at the time) her failing marriage.

Love this! There was absolutely no way she was stuck on 200 for the past 16 years 😂😂😂 glad we have an updated list

[@NickJOmar]

Hey. You skipped "You're mine (eternal)" which was actually one of the singles

[@idkyou1175]

My fav song lol

[@LD1FB]

So “Teacher” is a cover of George Micheal’s song of the same title. George Michael was a gay man and his “teacher” was the his first gay experience. He fought against his homosexuality for a long time. “I don’t wanna learn to hold you, trust you, love you”.

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

No, the song is called "One More Try" (not "teacher").

[@rhettmitchell]

@@jasonenglisbe9646 I think they know that; they’re just acknowledging that the song of the same title being “One More Try” is a George cover

[@EliazarIsaiah]

i love your mariah reactions

[@jacobreacts]

Thank you for watching!

[@Ent-wo7sx]

One of her best and underrated albums! Idk if you realized, her voice on this album sounds very similar to her voice in the Charmbracelet album. Also, she went through a lot during this album promo; her album titles got leaked (and some songs), Nick cheated on her, dislocated her shoulder when she was filming Beautiful Remix music video, etc.

[@mariom6800]

BOOO Meteorite is a cosmic bop!

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

Her voice sounds so pleasant and rich on it, but I can see where as a song it could drag for some. The chorus is repetitive and doesn't really go anywhere. It's interesting to think of it as a warning to Nick about his fame being fleeting, though lol.

[@daydream10.18]

Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of Meteorite either. But I learned to appreciate it over time, but not my top favourites from the album.

[@JD-xd4sy]

It's... different, for sure.

[@BlindWatchMakers]

This album is easily in my top five. The people who dont like it are just the most vocal, Ive never met a lamb in real life who didnt like it.

[@xejelah]

same

[@adamkuhl2945]

Thank you for commenting on her voice. It has been my greatest frustration for people thinking her voice was not good or diminished.

[@AchillesandArtemis]

7:16 because the producer on this song is Mike Will Made It who was the executive producer on the Bangerz album

[@nicky8nene]

Been jamming Faded ever since.. can't get enough of it, but its bittersweet song 😢

[@zyongslife]

This is a fun album! Same with her album Caution.

[@AchillesandArtemis]

This used to be like my favorite album for a while but still love it ❤

[@mateocareers451]

I'm a lamb and i LOVED this album! Dedicated, Thirsty, you don't know what to do!

[@loudeillunzaga4476]

Her voice that year was so really hight pitch. There were live footages that her voice were like that. I was also confused

[@daytonsouthall1137]

A lot of the vocals were pitched up though, like caution

[@adamcarlyle8910]

You’re Mine remix and Triumphant plus its remix are also really good! This is when I first became a lamb and I was obsessed. I really feel like the Triumphant remix would be a great anthem during Pride.

[@xejelah]

I feel like it would be great for a FIFA song

[@mariom6800]

There's The Rarities!! And we need to see the reaction to the fabulous Tokyo Dome live audio

I have reacted to the whole concert on Patreon ages ago!

[@daydream10.18]

One of my top albums from her. Doesn't matter what anybody else says.

[@zyongslife]

Stevie Wonders played the harmonica for that song. I also feel like that song should be played on Bridgerton.

[@mariahcareylambilyy]

Make it look good. And he even says I love you Mariah at the beggining

[@terilloss]

20 mins in - not sure if you accidentally skipped You're Mine (Eternal)... it's the song after Make It Look Good and before You Dont Know What to Do

[@jacobreacts]

Totally skipped over it on accident! I am reacting to it with the bonus tracks today/tomorrow! 🤦‍♂️

[@eduardosanmiguelsalas2086]

I always see this album as its name is the elusive chanteuse means hearing her in different moods, rythms, genres, mixing all her vocal habilities

[@jayZjamesvi]

One of my most favorite song from Mariah is You're Mine which I didn't hear from this reaction. Hope you guys can listen to it too

[@JD-xd4sy]

I love "Money" and "Heavenly", they're like heaven to my ears :)

[@JMImnida]

you will enjoy her latest album ❤️❤️

[@Koikikriah]

Your opinion of the album is the same as mine! She's slightly pitched her voice on the entire album; that's why her voice sounds so different (almost chipmunky kinda sound).

[@mijalakis3]

The Harmonica in make it look good is played by the great legend Stevie Wonder.

[@stevyyjay85]

Me. I am Mariah is one of her best rated albums by music critics. It's rated higher than TEOM. (and I agree). MIAM is a fantastic album.

[@phoebedemontefalcon1423]

There's still the 'Rarities' album. It has Mariah's unreleased songs

[@TheJpeabellera]

Meteorite is a bop!!!

[@suzym4706]

I guess autotune was the rage at the time BUT the last person needing autotune is Mariah! I grew up with her and I imagined she would too.

[@xejelah]

People don't know enough words. Autotune is pitch correction. Mariah Carey doesn't require pitch correction. It can also be used for robotic noises. Mariah also went through pregnancy at this time, so her vocals did improve and she had a second wind on some songs. She sounded great live too as some do because pregnancy can make the vocal chords more elastic. Which is why her rasp is gone, but comes back later once the hormones return to normal - however raising her voice higher is always an ability to do in the studio - that has nothing to do with autotune. People seem to forget that this album was supposed to be released 2 years prior but was pushed back.

[@MeltAwayRiah]

yes. mariah is reportedly dating anderson paak, the guy who was on silk sonic with bruno mars.

[@xejelah]

I'll take BS for $100 Jerry

[@joshuarodriguez9477]

​@@xejelahits true

[@EastTV-c7v]

they should've included You Don't Know What To Do on The Barbie movie!

[@inkweaver]

her most overproduced album. you can tell she lower down her production to its followup "Caution" album

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

This album was essentially Lemonade before Beyonce made that album (which I say respectfully as I am a big fan of Lemonade). Both Me. I Am Mariah and Lemonade find each women processing their troubled marriage through the use of the history of Black music. Me. I Am Mariah uses gospel to talk about trying to find a redemptive moment ("Cry" and "Heavenly"), modern R&B to address Nick's outlandish behavior ("Faded" and "Thirsty"), doo wop to celebrate her attraction ("Make It Look Good"), disco to highlight Nick's fleeting tendencies ("You Don't Know What to Do" and "Meteorite"), old-school hip-hop to talk about how music has always been there for her ("Dedicated"), and Mariah's own ballad-with-a-beat template to find optimism of an enduring love ("You're Mine").

[@myaccount9226]

Raise your ya ya ya

[@mbp194]

I love thirsty 😍😍

[@RyanSebastian-u5q]

Mariah sound changing again this album like previous album... we know vocal aging so mariah style singing changing too for reach the high notes🎉.. but we love it its evolution

[@deadworms]

He skipped You're Mine and the Art of Letting Go 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@dvus1977]

Just a lil helpful tip , Walé ( Wahh-Lay ) The 🐳pronunciation has me still in stitches 🤣🤣😉🙃🙃🥂. Its a common mistake. Dedicated uses a Sample from a Wu-tang Clan song (Protect Ya Neck) if not mistaken. Yes it's Stevie Wonder on Harmonica (Make it Look Good). One More Try, is a Cover originally by George Michael (an 89s song). Heavenly/No Ways Tired , is also a Cover. It's original was from the 50s or 60s by a Southern Pastor (His name eludes me) however this arrangement Mariah chose is actually a Cover of a Cover. Gospel Duo (Mary Mary) covered the original and used this arrangement 1st. 😉🥂 Yes , You missed Mine, Eternal or did you 🤨🤔🤔🙃🙃😉

[@sebastianbrownmusic]

Meaning of Life album by Kelly Clarkson also really good album. Please keep reacting I love them!!!

Please you have to continue to react britney's album. You'll love Oops I did it again.

I have already reacted on Patreon! I will post to KZbin soon :)

[@user-bs9ct7li8n]

Hey you have to know there is the Rarities album, The Remixes album, and still plenty of singles to react to 😢. Also, just as a note, some Mariah songs are meant to be listened with headphones, it would definitely help you get more into some pf the songs you feel off about. Same way about looking up the lyrics cause it's a lot to process in only one time.

[@loudeillunzaga4476]

It is so sad cause mariah said she really worked hard for this album. The album was also sabotaged and leaked and need to rechange some of the songs and title of the album. And waited another year to be released She collaborated for a real orchestras and musicians. She even had an e=mc2 era body here and she got injured during the promotions.

[@MeltAwayRiah]

what most lambs don’t like about this album is that it is very extra. in everything. production, all the layered vocals, the extreme over the top climaxes and riffs, the autotune stylistic choice, etc. there’s so many genres and vibes but the album feels cohesive due to drama of it all. nick cannon had her going through IT and the album reflects it. caution is wayyy more laid back.

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

Yeah MIAM is a detailed account of their marriage. I do think it drags at the end, but the first 11-12 songs are great.

[@joshuarodriguez9477]

I hardly agree

[@yadaya-oughtta-book-ahead718]

Based on One More Try, personally, I think you need to do a deep dive for George Michael starting with Wham.

[@hectorbello161]

Dedicated is VERY Mariah. She sounds like in her remixes since 1996!!! When I heard it I was like this is so old school Mariah hahaha. See when you don’t listen to her remixes?!

[@inkweaver]

Heavenly is one of her best gospel song

[@rhettmitchell]

You skipped “You’re Mine (Eternal)” btw!

[@jacobreacts]

Just posted my reaction to Patreon, coming to KZbin soon!

[@mariahcareylambilyy]

Did you know One More Try is a George Michael cover?

[@Truthhurtz618]

You said what i think is the problem with alot of lambs..this isnt music box mariah..and if we being truthful alot of lambs dont like or apprciate when she does anything other than sing slow middle of the road ballads

[@xejelah]

Music Box Mariah hasn't existed since '94 - you'd think they'd get over it and move on by now.

[@josephlucas85]

You probably didn't know and don't know. This album is a divorce album about Mariah and Nick Cannon when they was going through their divorce. That's why when you listen to some of the lyrics on some of the songs you'll understand like thirsty and some like make it look good and camouflage. By the way the song Make it look Good should have said featuring Stevie Wonder. He's playing a harmonica the whole song. He's the one that laughs at the beginning after playing the harmonica and laughs and says okay. He also is singing background with her the whole song. She basically sent my mama told me not to play with those type of men look at what you got me going through.

[@adamkuhl2945]

It hurts my heart that you didn't like camouflage. Lol.

[@hughw2377]

I love supernatural and a few other tracks on this album, but Caution is definitely an upgrade!

[@jeremimi]

This album is way better than caution. Caution is terrible vocally and she tried way too hard to be hip

[@adamkuhl2945]

One Last Fry is a cover. GEORGE michael.

[@suzym4706]

I get that she wants new fans but her new fans come automatically with my kids who listen to her always. I expected new sounds on her albums it’s not how we Mariah fans are trashing every new thing she puts out, ya know? ✌🏼❤️👍🏼

[@hectorbello161]

Omg!! Mariah was very proud of Camouflage and you paid it dust. You need to have been through heartbreak after a long relationship to get that one. She was literally putting he heart out there for you to pay attention to the acapella thing. You get on my nerves sometimes. 😢

[@LD1FB]

Anyway, I could fall into this dude’s eyes! 😍

[@markmenez4097]

Make it look good Stevie wonder played the harmonica also got tike magazine as best song of that year . This album was a critically acclaimed album. This album had mixed reviews with lambily most liked it but didn’t love it . The album sounds like this because it’s the sound of that time in 2014. You missed you’re mine (eternally) those are her kids on supernatural. The production you’re talking about is vocal layering most singers real singers do it.lol dahlling when you say it’s too loud that’s black church it’s powerful not some weak pop vocals . Make sure you listen to you’re mine on the deluxe . Most people that complain don’t like black gospel or r&b music and want just pop vocals.

[@bgarrett7583]

Love my Mariah! My all time favorite female artist, it's so hard to rate my favorite albums but unfortunately this one was my least favorite of her entire catalog. Definitely could be where her mindset was elsewhere due to her divorce during this time.

Im a lamb but this album is my least favorite album. the reason I hate it, first, is because I don't like in a song where an artist is like talking (which most of the tracks here), second, shes too loud in this album which is what you said from the last track, third, there are tracks there that were very chaotic to listen to, then last I feel like her voice and the way she sung here is not fit for the type of music production.

[@tbolling773]

Mariah auto tuned smh

[@AchillesandArtemis]

The Wale pronunciation is taking me out

[@adamkuhl2945]

Meteorite was supposedly about Ariana Grande as they were always asking Mariah about her like she was dead already.... Again the quality of music has never decreased but media just did not support her.

[@suzym4706]

Again, artists don’t decide what final albums sound like, it’s a board of directors. U Don’t Know What and Beautiful are the only tracks close to Mariah #1. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@markmenez4097]

Artist in Mariah status do have that say when you’re and executive producer you do have a say and push back . And her album is under her imprint label with distribution through major label.

[@suzym4706]

Public Service Warning::::save your ears and don’t listen to that TRASH her label called a Mariah album, Caution. It was a middle finger to her fan base in order to move her into a Tik Tok world. I mailed the CD back to the label, so did my friends, didn’t ask for $ but it was a message for sure.
