Hard to believe, I couldn't find a thread for this (though there probably is one floating around here somewhere) - though I did find one for favorite albums. I have the utmost respect for her as a singer, songwriter, producer, and as a human being. In 2001 it looked like her career was over and her health was in jeopardy. She "made it through the rain" and enjoyed a huge comeback in 2005. She shares my initials (M.C.) and since her debut in 1990 (when I was still in elementary school!!), I've grown up with her!!

Here are my favorites (in no particular order):

Someday
Through the Rain
All in Your Mind
Alone in Love
Prisoner
We Belong Together
Stay the Night
Circles
Loverboy (Remix)
Emotions
Can't Let Go
Make it Happen
Anytime You Need a Friend
Fantasy
Always Be My Baby
Now That I Know

You mean, Ardis DIDN'T create this thread lol? :lol:

Love a lot of Mariah's songs. I don't know about a order of songs I like first to last though.

Heartbreaker
I'll Be Loving You Long Time
We Belong Together
It's Like That
Hero
Butterfly
All I Want For Christmas- is a GREAT song. a good holiday song.
Loverboy

A bunch of others. I listen to her albums, but sometimes don't remember song titles to some tracks. Good thread.

I'm REALLY shocked that Ardis didn't create a thread like this - or respond to it yet. :lol: I'd love to hear her response. :D

I've liked a few of Mariah's covers but I think she's really the best with her own songs. I think her best cover was of Phil Collins' Against All Odds. I have to admit that I like Mariah's version of I Still Believe, but I prefer the original by Brenda K. Starr.

It's fun discussing Mariah's music because she has such a rich catalog. Plus she's still under 40 - to have accomplished that much since the age of 20 is astounding!!

I borrowed my sister's copy of Mariah's greatest hits album so that I could get a better sample of the music she has made over the last 20 years. Here are the songs that most stood out for me:

Love Takes Time
I Don't Wanna Cry
Hero
Without You
Anytime You Need A Friend
One Sweet Day
Forever
Butterfly
When You Believe
I Sill Believe

Here I am... Sorry to keep you waiting. I know I don't know why I never made up this thread before. Maybe cause it's almost impossible to have just one favorite Mariah Carey song. I have a few that are my most favorites.

Anytime You Need A Friend
Fly Like A Bird
Hero
Emotions
We Belong Together
My Saving Grace
I Wish You Well
Bye Bye

I could go on and on. :D

Here is the most latest pic of MC & Nick in Aspen. Merry Xmas lambs.
