Mariah Carey - "Glitter" | 2000s Pop Music Podcast
Episode 47, Sep 10, 2021, 03:00 AM
Lambs and pop fans, we are celebrating 20 years of Mariah Carey's iconic "Glitter" era! Dahhling, it may have been a little bleak two decades ago but we made it through the rain. Join Joel and David as we "Glitter-wash" our memories of this film and soundtrack with some much-needed positivity. Thanks to the #JusticeForGlitter movement and Mariah opening up about the details of this chapter in her amazing memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey" - we now have so much more to unpack.
So zip up your hot pink race car driver suits, let's throw it back to 2001 when Mariah was giving us 80s funk, post-disco, and hip hop meauxments with 'Loverboy' and the "Glitter" soundtrack. From the Rick James-penned banger for Sylk, 'All My Life', through to A+ covers of 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' and 'Didn't Mean To Turn You On', Mariah really captured the energy of the 80s and gave it her signature tzush (and blockbuster ballads).
Joel is convinced "Glitter" is the definitive revision of "A Star Is Born" and it's hard to disagree, really. Give it another watch - or watch with fresh adoring eyes today - and you're sure to find something to love in performances from Mariah, Terrence Howard, Max Beesley, Da Brat, Valarie Pettiford, Padma Lakshmi, and Whisper The Cat.
