SPECIAL: "Glitter" Review

Review of the 2001 Mariah Carey film Glitter

[@Rebochan]

And yet in spite of this movie... not even ten years later Mariah was receiving actual praise for her acting in "Precious." Turns out a good script, good director, and a healthier Mariah makes a big difference.

[@steviebanks8447]

Yeah but lest not forget her appearance in the mediocre drama, Tennessee, LITERALLY the year before Precious

[@witchflowers6942]

i can’t believe how cowardly the makeup and hair department was. they didn’t even give her layered hair? No bold eyeshadow?? NO ONE IN THE EARLY-MID EIGHTIES LOOKED LIKE THAT. The early eighties were not like that. I have never felt so unconvinced of a setting in my life.

Now that I know more about the backstory and script of the movie, apparently it was rewritten to death. It’s supposed to be more autobiographical and either Terrence Howard or Dice is supposed to be Tommy Mottola who is the producer who took advantage of her, etc. That version was called “All That Glitters” Honestly she should’ve just canceled the project or shelved it for the future instead of driving herself into the ground. The timing just wasn’t right.

[@someoneelse4579]

It still is very biographical, based on what I was able to get from her memoir, but most of the direct lifts from her life have been turned into mere parallels.

The marimba cracks are great! I think I liked them so much because my roommate used to be in the city's Pride Band and did percussion, offering to give the marimba a home between concerts (they are relatively fragile and would not do well in a storage unit.) Thus, a marimba was in my living room for over a year and the phrase "cat, get off the marimba!" was said far more than I ever expected!

[@highland_persuasion]

Even as a hardcore Lamb, I can honestly say I have only watched this movie once. The soundtrack, though, is one of my most played works from her. In 2001, to throw it back into a decade that ended barely 12 years that time took some major balls because literally no one else was doing it. And MARIAH JUST CANNOT ACT, period.

[@gluteusuterus5592]

I think she can act. But she's not a leading lady actor. She had a small role in precious and was pretty good although she had a couple minutes of screen time. I guess you could call her a modest actress: she does her best with little room to shine. Also I agree the soundtrack is a whole studio album in itself

[@8nicopink868]

The big question is...Why was the movie called 'Glitter'?

[@JuriAmari]

Nicole Batista it’s because of the streak of glitter Billie wears in her performances/outings after she gets famous in her own right. It’s not a stage name and the reason why she starts that fashion trend is never explained. At least with (an IRL example) Michael Jackson’s glitter look you get an adequate explanation - he loved his mother’s glitter jacket and often borrowed it for performances, which then inspired more distinctive looks further into his career. This movie doesn’t even give that! It just puts it there with no introduction to the idea: who did that? Why does she do it? How do we distinguish it from a makeup mistake vs a purposeful statement?

[@JuriAmari]

I think they were also trying to give a vibe similar to Sparkle with a 1 word shiny title and one of those bottom to the top stories. Billie starts off as a backup singer and then becomes famous in her own right within a big concert at the finale after a bout of tragedy.

[@crispyorsmthnidk5314]

Oh god, I had forgotten about the telepathic songwriting scene. Even at 17 when I saw this in the theater (dragging in two unsuspecting straight friends who I don't think ever quite forgave me) and thought it was a good movie, that scene took me out of it. What bothers me the most about "Glitter" is not even its many clichés and vanity project symptoms (because bad films made by superstars surrounded by yes-people was already nothing new by then), but how badly it managed to fuck up a basic story of someone succeeding in the music business. Billie goes from nothing to having one single (which probably didn't get a video because they walked out of the shoot) to... selling out Madison Square Garden? In what, a month? That sounds like an outsider's view of how "overnight success" in music happens, not how it actually happens, and the movie has no excuse for that when it's *made by an actual music superstar*. Worse, one who was herself a star who rose exceptionally fast, and even then it took about two years from her being introduced to Tommy Mottola to the release of "Vision of Love". I'd forgive the saccharine stuff about the mom, but not the film's bizarrely surface-level understanding of how a singer becomes famous.

[@amyrat151]

I actually like the soundtrack of this movie. I know the movie itself is crap, though.

[@Musicradio77Network]

+amyrat151 I actually have the soundtrack, but there was one song on that album was a remake of a 1983 dance classic "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" which was first done by Indeep, and then one of the songs from that soundtrack was also a remake of Cherrelle's 1984 dance classic "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" which was later became a hit for Robert Palmer 2 years later in 1986. The soundtrack was good. If you look back at soundtracks to bad movies, take "Xanadu" for example, it was a really bad movie from 1980 with Olivia Newton-John, they also had a soundtrack to a bad movie and had two of the songs from that soundtrack including "Magic", a big hit for her, and then "Suddenly" with Cliff Richard, and the title song with the Electric Light Orchestra. I guess 1980 would be a bad year for movie musicals. "Xanadu" was bad, "Can't Stop the Music" was garbage which was their attempt for a feature film with the Village People, and of course "The Apple", that was really bad, because the movie was set in 1994, the songs aren't that great. I rather take those movies any day now than watching this one. And don't forget "Hannah Montana: The Movie", that was bad, and Todd in the Shadows did reviewed it not too long ago. They also had a soundtrack to that bad movie, but some of the songs were good, but they throw in two country songs by Rascal Flatts, and one song by Billy Ray Cyrus. Those three songs were good, but the rest of the songs from soundtrack aren't that great except "The Climb" which was her first single and it became a big hit.

[@rashotcake6945]

I don’t think Mariah singing so bombastically is inherently a problem but relative to the songwriting on her albums, it can sometimes be seen as over singing, if only because the songs don’t always compliment her singing style well. By this, I mean that often, her voice will completely overshadow every other element of a track when ideally, the latter should reinforce the former. Basically, the problem isn’t that her vocals are too skillful but that the songwriting can’t keep up, and so the songs often end up sounding lopsided and clumsy

[@briannab4037]

Do you mind giving me an example of this imbalance?

[@DreFromMaine8472]

[@jaycerrito3142]

Here's what I'd do if I wrote Glitter: 1. Have another love interest. To me, Billie Frank meets an old childhood friend named Lloyd Stevens who's got a metal band and is a pro wrestler and is played by Chris Jericho. Billie and Lloyd have a much more fun relationship and we get an alternate ending which I'll explain in my last idea 2. The time setting will be in the late 90s or early 2000s which makes better sense of the clothes, trends and music 3. Have normal and less "in your face editing" 4. Have a video game adaptation on every game console at the time of 2001 including a GameCube and Xbox launch title 5. In the start of the movie, a young Billie met a young Lloyd the same time Billie's mom Lillian was performing at the bar and Lloyd's mom is also a musician but a rockstar instead of an R&B singer. That's how they became friends because both their moms are musicians and they inherit their mothers' talents 6. Billie has an inner conflict on choosing between Dice and Lloyd 7. Lloyd is a fun carefree metal head and a larger than life wrestler that entertains his many fans and has a healthier relationship with Billie 8. Billie's Foster friends also met Lloyd when they were young and even they preferred Billie to be with Lloyd instead of Dice 9. Dice sees Lloyd wrestle and isn't impressed as he's not only jealous of Lloyd's popularity and taking Billie away from him but also he's not a fan of pro wrestling 10. Now there's the movie's two endings. Spoiler Alert for those of you who watched the original Glitter. The first ending is the same as the original lukewarm and bittersweet ending. Billie stays with Dice and Timothy shoots Dice and Billie performs on her show dedicating to Dice and reunites with her mother. The alternate ending is more uplifting and also action packed. Billie stays with Lloyd. Timothy shoots Dice but only in the arm and survives but Lloyd fights Timothy and saves the day. Timothy gets arrested and is sent to federal prison meanwhile Dice redeemed himself and thanks Lloyd for saving him and accepts Lloyd being with Billie. Dice remains friends with Billie and gets hospital treatment and watches Billie's performance on Pay-per-view in the hospital. The performance has Billie bring Lloyd as a surprise and they do a rock ballad with a little R&B and metal to contrast the two characters and once again Billie reunites with her mother but Lloyd's with her and they are engaged with rings and Billie is pregnant with twins. It's a proper happily ever after where Billie is married and having kids with a new man while being a singing sensation. That is my version of Glitter. What do you think? Is it too cheesy? Is Chris Jericho not the right choice as another guy for Mariah Carey's other onscreen love interest in Glitter?

Silk was actually a band, not a singer

[@Hammerhead547]

Personally I vastly prefer dolly parton's version of I Will Always Love You because she sells the actual emotion of the song and if you know the backstory of why the song was written you'll agree with me. I won't get too deep in to it but I will say this much: it's not a love song, it's actually a break up song.

[@edwardphilibin3151]

Honestly, if Mariah wanted this film to have a hit like "I Will Always Love You," she should have just covered another Dolly Parton song. Sure, it would have been horribly obvious, but it would have been a better song.

[@Hammerhead547]

@@edwardphilibin3151 She should've gone with Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It? . That song would actually fit the mood of the movie and make sense within its context because its about finding your own way and being true to yourself. Failing that maybe Private Dancer would've worked too. That being said I also feel the same way about whitney huston's cover of I Will Always Love You, only in her case I find that she severely over sings it and that completely takes away from the real emotional weight of the song. When I hear dolly's version it almost moves me to tears because she sells the emotion of telling someone that she truly loves that she has to leave them forever, when I hear whitney huston's version I think "musical stunt casting" and when I hear mariah's version I want to shove gauze in my ears.

If you listen to the lyrics, despite how it is sung, you know it is a break up song, tho?

[@Hammerhead547]

@@chasingautumns It's not so much a break up song as it's more of a very fond farewell too a very dear friend and mentor (Porter Wagner) who played a huge part in the development of dolly's career. It's not so much "goodbye forever" as its a deeply heartfelt "thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me and I'll never forget you". The story dolly tells is that she wrote the song just before she told porter that she wanted to move on to the next step in her career and they finally had the conversation then she played the demo for him and he was moved to tears by it. After regaining his composure proter told her that she was free to go on the condition that she would work with him one last time too record that song because he knew it would be a hit and wanted their last collaboration too be something that was as beautiful as possible. He said many years later that of all the hit songs he worked on that one meant the most to him because while it was the swansong of their cloaborative efforts it was also the beginning of the blossoming dolly's career as a solo artist. They remained very close friends until the day porter died.

@@Missjunebugfreak Thinking on it, maybe her arrogance is a defence mechanism? Looking at vocal forums, people with wide ranges that like to show off often receive the most criticism. Mariah probably had to deal with people her entire life telling her to stop showing off her range, oversinging, and a bunch of other criticisms. If no one will support you or motivate you, then you have to do it yourself. If no one loves you, you'll just have to love yourself extra hard and ignore the haters. Unfortunately, that leads to narcissism when it goes too far. It's why the most talented artists are the most toxic and have the biggest egos.
