I do know what you mean about the screechy vocals It really bothers me in some songs (Mine Again, I Wish You Knew) and not so much in others (STN, WCC). I think the reason it doesn't get to me in WCC is because they bury the vocals a little bit in the mix and the music itself is really strong.
Agreed. On WCC the music and vocals 'mix' much better, whereas on Mine Again it's like they put the vocals front and center, so loud (imo because Mariah was desperate to prove she 'could still sing').
'Mine Again' was much more 'tourettes' as well - the parts she was placing emphasis on, or belting, didn't actually make sense. There was too much switching from "whispering" to belting.
I remember when you used to be MINE, way back then... I was too naive to LOVE you right... but NOW ...
It's irrelevant to dwell on the PAST. I'm accountable for what went bad, and I mean that. But IIIIII if I only had... etc



Tourettes is a good analogy. The song kind of randomly EXPLODES on you. Can you imagine listening to it on headphones with the sound turned up pretty loud as you are falling asleep?
I'll say, it has an AMAZING bridge though. I remember hearing that in the leaked sound-clips and thinking, oh this is going to be the best Mariah Carey song I've ever heard. Easily the most letdown I've ever been for one of her songs.
