first 2 albums completed

debut is a very solid listen and i wouldn't say there's any song that's bad but there's not really any noticeable highlight BESIDES prisoner which is a mega bop and should've been a single

emotions has a lot more notable songs, but also some more notable low points

overall:

debut - 6.75/10 (highlights: prisoner, vision of love, vanishing, you need me)
emotions - 7/10 (highlights: emotions, you're so cold, can't let go, make it happen, the wind)

She hates prisoner- one of the few songs I’m sure she’s basically confirmed she wishes she never made 💀

 

Emotions is top 3 in her album discog for me 

[TrashMagiq 58,574]

Prisoner’s probs my fav off debut next to Vanishing bsdjfjf Mariah queen of rap no it’s true,, It was even too ahead of its time for Her but she doesn’t acknowledge time so she’ll forever be stuck hating this song 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

My controversial opinion is I don’t like daydream as an album tbh-it’s got so many dud ballads like her cover of open arms, one sweet day(still don’t understand the love for this song )

 

the highs are high like underneath the stars, melt away, fantasy but the lows…..well

 

if you took out when I saw you, one sweet day and open arms- replaced them with slipping away, one night and something else the album would be amazing

you're so cold is such a bop

[the ocean 67,601]

continuing with my mariah deep dive:

music box is

her vocals are great i will say that!

i'd rate it a 3.5/10 (highlights: dreamlover, anytime you need a friend)

without you was the song i was mainly alluding to with the "her vocals are great" thing

and let's just say that i will not be thinking about i've been thinking about you any time soon

i'm liking daydream a LOT more so far

butterfly and rainbow a joint magnum opus imo

idk she did it a lot better before with prisoner, emotions & you're so cold, and a lot better afterwards with basically every dance remix she pumped out

[viktoria 3,176]

hot take but i don't really care for her albums released before butterfly  the singles are good and theres a few good album tracks but then butterfly onwards is really excellent 

[the ocean 67,601]

i finished her memoir - absolutely loved it highly would recommend

intended on listening to butterfly & #1's today but never got to them because of the above thing but i'll talk about my thoughts on daydream which i listened to yesterday that i never posted

a significant step up from music box that is FOR SURE - definitely her most consistent album so far in her discography
i'd rate it a solid 7.5/10 - i know there's greater stuff to come (some of which i'm already familiar with) but it definitely holds its own very well
highlights: long ago, underneath the stars, looking in, always be my baby, fantasy, melt away

also make it happen has been starting to grow on me a bit so add that to the list of emotions highlights

--

this is my album ranking so far - not including the albums that i'm already familiar with to be fair:

1. daydream - 7.5/10
2. emotions - 7/10
3. debut - 6.75/10
4. music box - 3.5/10

[the ocean 67,601]

double posting... fun

butterfly is some GOOD food! the only song that didn't fully click was the beautiful ones cover mostly because i prefer the original version but she still did a pretty good job
i'd rate it a solid 9/10 she did a good job with it - highlights: the roof, honey, breakdown, close my eyes, butterfly, 4th of july, outside

rainbow is... interesting! i definitely think most of the songs are very good but it comes together really strangely and it results in a weird listen
i'd still give it a 7/10 though just because most of the songs are very good even if they come together a little weird - highlights: heartbreaker, heartbreaker remix, petals, can't take that away, bliss, how much

Spoiler

the album ranking at this point:

1. butterfly - 9/10
2. daydream - 7.5/10
3. emotions - 7.25/10 (bumping up to a 7.25/10 it's definitely growing on me)
4. rainbow - 7/10
5. debut - 6.75/10
6. music box - 3.5/10 nnnn

Music box is her worst  I got swarmed by people for saying it’s bad before but it’s just so mushy-even Mariah doesn’t like the album so…

i decided to listen to all of them before making another post but i will say that there is another album that managed to sneak its way past music box to the bottom

i don't think i need to say what it is a lot of people seem to hate it

I mean there was a phase where people hated emancipation but I’m guessing it’s the mariah(2014) album

I hope it’s not E=mC2 because that album is bop after bop-just my take but it’s one of her easiest albums to listen to-all uptempo, no filler.

[evalionisameme 13,889]

Nobody’s discography ranking is complete until they’ve listened to her other Magnus “someone’s ugly daughter” tbh- an essential listen 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

She really ended Janet and Madonna on this album  ray of light and the velvet rope do not compare 

 

I can be anything
I'll show them all
I can be anything
I'll show them all

[Verse 1]
On the day he turned 16
He washed his face and brushed his teeth
Looked in the mirror longingly
Said "I could be the next prom queen"
He closed the door and went to school
And tried to act so very cool
Living a double life
Isn’t so very nice
Sometimes he isn’t sure
If he’s a boy or girl

Verse 2]
Got home at quarter after three
He opened up the vanity
Applied his makeup expertly
And said, “I could pass for 23”
Hе stole his little sister's drеss
And used his brother's socks as breasts
He shaved his legs and moussed his hair
Put on his mother's underwear

[Chorus]
I can be anything that I want to be
Someday I will really show them all
I can be anything that I want to be
Someday I will really show them all

[Verse 3]
On the day he turned 19
He took a train to Bleeker Street
He met a guy named Norma Jean
Who said he could fulfill his dream
He told the doctor of his woes
And took the bottle of hormones
Struck collagen into his lips
And silicone into his hips
He didn't even cry
Under the surgeon's knife
Now he can tell the world
That she's a real girl

 

 

 

 

 

Met a midget he was shorter than Elroy Jetson
If you could see him it would really blow your mind
Smelled a little like the kennel that you keep your pets in
Because he didn’t bathe for eight weeks at a time

But he was my friend
I liked him, I really liked him
Something about him was cool
He was okay
I think that you would like him
He’s an awful lot like you

I met a drag queen
In a harlot hobo hellhole
She looked like a little bit like Gilda in a dress
He wore a teddy with a nicе big plunging neckline
So evеryone could see
Her big fat hairy chest

(Oh yeah, but) She was my friend
I liked him, I really liked her
Something about her was cool
She was okay
I think that you would like her
She’s an awful lot like you

It doesn’t matter who you are
Or what you think of me
Bigotry is just a form of insecurity

I met a lady with a beard like Rip Van Winkle
I don’t remember but I think her name was Bruce
You couldn’t see his face
She had so many pimples
I couldn’t tell if she was
Black, white or chartreuse

(Oh yeah, but) She was my friend
I liked her, I really liked her
Something about her was cool
She was okay
I think that you would like her
She’s an awful lot like you

She was my friend
I liked her, I really liked her
Something about her was cool
She was okay
I think that you would like her
She’s an awful lot like you

She’s an awful lot like you
She’s an awful lot like you
She’s an awful lot like you
