MCIIY and MIAM are full of the classic Mariah Carey vocal style. I could understand you whining about this after an album like E or TEOM (both of which - especially E - were too straightforward vocally), but not after this new album. Look, expecting Mariah to sound JUST like her old self is irrational given the change in her voice, aging etc, but she did make a great effort to bring back the trademark Mariah Carey vocals with this album and she succeeded, if you ask me. The only thing I realized I'm missing on this album - and I'm just nit-picking really - is a few growl moments here and there... was listening to "Always Be My Baby" last night and I loved the end where she growls: "no way you're never gonna shake me!"

Sidenote, I could've sworn you've made the EXACT same thread in the past... about Glitter being the last real Mariah Carey album or something like that.


Yes! I miss the growl too. She seems to bring it out every now and again. It was pretty prominent in the TEOM live performances but we've seen it too sparsely since then. BBTG! Bring back the growl!
