listening to TT once is never enough like you have to listen to it six times in one sitting and then do it again an hour later and continue that throughout the day
mariah is trapped by expectations set by her past self but also literally by her past self cuz the way she wrote and arranged those songs back then she made sure the only one who could sing them was herself @ age 25 im serious like anyone who covers her has to either alter the song so its less crazy or replicates the exact arrangement down to the last note but can only manage to do so hyperpolished in studio (ariana)
Like kelly Clarkson is by most standards considered a great singer & this one time she covered always be my baby and she was like.. struggle. And that song doesn’t even seem that difficult since the way mariah did it sounds so effortless it fell so naturally like rain from a cloud but only because she made it seem that easy.. people.. so pedestrian…they dont understand what it takes……… they dont #realize
the grainy filter makes me feel like I’m strapped to a hospital bed in his basement and I’m waking up slowly after passing out from blunt trauma and he’s about to torture me until I die while mocking me. I don’t know. I get that vibe from this. I think it’s the *moves you around* I picture it as being shaken violently.
