we did TLC, let's try mariah

maybe it's too soon to debate the glory of mariah carey, but i think it's time to pick her best song. i'm a fan of her work in the mid-90s, definitely pre-glitter. it reminds me of pre-teen summers in buffalo, eating popsicles and rollerblading around the village of kenmore. but maybe mariah isn't a crowd pleaser like TLC. we'll see...

fantasy
pro: the sample! Tom Tom Club's "Genius Of Love"
con: the fact that tom tom club's song is much better




always be my baby
pro: you'll never get it out of your head
con: you'll never get it out of your head



heartbreaker
pro: jay-z
con: the video

Bah. Mariah peaked with "Someday" and "Vision of Love." All downhill from there.

really? peaked so soon?

it's getting rather difficult to find someone who is willing discuss the merits of mariah carey post-vision of love and pre-glitter. i think i am alone in my weird appreciation of the mariah.
