Oh yeah, I'd love if she could do something with that kind of sound, it's like R&B sound of my childhood and not something she's really done anymore than dabble in.

TEOM was a pseudo-retro style of an album, why not do one in this style?

Now that I think about it, something like Stay the Night would actually go into Born Is the King really well - they have a true R&B sound while at thr same time it's a bit of a throwback. This sensual sound, along with the neo-soul sounds of Circles and When Christmas Comes, is totally where I'd like for her to go on the next album..
You read my mind!� Circles and Stay The Night were the first two songs to pop in my head when I said she had dabbled in it a bit smiley: laugh�

When Christmas Comes is still my favorite off of the X-mas album (or second favorite..)

Please tell me it was either CTIITAA or CBC

Yup, that's #2 and #3!� I'd actually never heard CBC (somehow) before her version.� I think it's beautiful though and has a hint of sadness to it.

I'd never heard it before Toni Braxton's version - a slightly jazzier (and longer (over four minutes)), yet equally stunning version.




I don't really understand how a person in America could not have heard CBS smiley: laugh.

I prefer Toni's version to Mariah's because it's longer and I think Toni's voice works better, though I certainly love Mariah's version.
