• 00:47 my favorite Madge ballad - the pentatonic bit sounds like Teresa Teng, really ♫ blip.fm/~1yeam #

• 01:20 actually, of the lot tonight this is the one I like best ♫ blip.fm/~1yepo #
• 01:30 the melisma here a pure, bubbly, girlish, airbound joy; Mariah's real strength, ill-served by many of her hits ♫ blip.fm/~1yeu2 #
• 01:34 doing this because '94-'95 was the start of my memories of chart hits (not this, though - never heard it before) ♫ blip.fm/~1yevn #

Maybe 'cause I liked Mariah early, my favorite Mariah is early Mariah, particularly "Can't Let Go" and "Make It Happen." Pretty much all the Emotions album, actually. I once complimented her melisma by saying it was like a horse out for its gallop.

More songs I have to listen to in order to place. XD I really like the title track, though, which I came across a few years ago via a remix.
