Brandy Norwood

Simply known as Brandy, she was one of the most popular R&B artists of the 90s and is known for her distinctive sound, characterized by her peculiar timbre, voice-layering, and intricate riffs, which has earned her the title of "the Vocal Bible".

Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Celebration (Live in New York, NY) 2001 Pop / R&B / Soul / Adult Contemporary

Been posting about the Queen of Pop over the past few days, but now it's come time for some posts about the King of Pop too. And today we have an incredible, star-studded concert from 2001 that celebrated the inimitable career of the single greatest entertainer that the world has ever known, Michael Jackson, with this commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the release of his debut single as a solo artist.

But first, some crazy background about this legendary show: originally, it had been planned as just a one-night-only affair, and was set to take place on September 7, 2001, at Madison Square Garden; but demand had become so high, that just a couple days beforehand, a second date of September 10, 2001 was added as well. And the day after that second show, Michael was actually scheduled to go to the World Trade Center for a meeting, in order to return a watch that he had used, as well as a necklace that his best friend Elizabeth Taylor had worn for the occasions too. But thankfully, for his own sake, he overslept 😳.

Now, when I said that this was a star-studded event, I *really* meant it, because you'd be hard-pressed to find a concert lineup that's ever matched the magnitude of this one. In addition to a solo set from Michael himself, and another one with his brothers from the Jackson 5—who hadn't performed together in, like, two decades—there were also electrifying performances from a total who's who of the pop, soul, and R&B industries as a whole, from both past and present: Usher, Mýa, and Whitney Houston; Billy Gilman; Shaggy and Rikrok; Monica, Tamia, Mýa, Deborah Cox, and Rah Digga; Marc Anthony; Destiny's Child; Liza Minnelli; James Ingram and Gloria Estefan; 98 Degrees, Usher, and Luther Vandross; *NSYNC; and Slash. Either they covered one of Michael's songs, sang their own hits, or performed alongside him during his sets.

And it's a very good thing that an agreement had been reached to set up two dates for the event too, because when it came time to assemble a TV broadcast, the best performances (and crowd reactions!) from each night could just be plucked and spliced together to form one whole, magnificent show for a national or international audience. Plus, according to some folks, Michael didn't seem to be fully there on the first night either, which people who claim to have been in the know chalk up to drug use, but he dismissed as only a lack of rehearsal and his own self-consciousness. Either way, on that original September 7th date, Michael didn't bring back his patented Moonwalk for very long, but on September 10th, during his performance of "Billie Jean," he managed to fully dazzle with his repertoire of slinky, physics-defying dance moves like he was back at the famed Motown 25th anniversary show where he had originally unveiled the Moonwalk in the first place. And naturally, that 9/10 performance of the song was the one that was chosen to be included in this amazing recording here!

So, such a wonderful time capsule of 2001 in this momentous concert that took place *quite literally* just before one of the most consequential events in world history. A pair of spectacular, unforgettable New York nights, followed by one horrific, unforgettable New York day.

Happy 20th Anniversary to Mariah Carey’s ninth studio album Charmbracelet. It debuted at #3 on the US Billboard 200 chart. She then went on her The Charmbracelet: An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey tour. This album even included a cover of Def Leppard’s “Bringin’ on the Heartache”.

Today's compilation:

Totally Hits 3 2000 Alternative Rock / Pop-Rock / Pop / R&B / Adult Contemporary / Teen Pop

Time for yet another fun turn-of-the-millennium trip down memory lane, folks! Yesterday we got into a dispatch from America's bestselling contemporary hits series, Now That's What I Call Music!, but today we've got something from what was once their greatest competitor instead: Totally Hits.

And the biggest difference between these two series was ultimately the partnerships between the labels that put them out: the US version of Now was the result of a link-up between Capitol, EMI, Universal, Virgin, and their many subsidiaries, and Totally Hits represented Sony, BMG, Warner, Elektra, Atlantic, and their many subsidiaries. Now always wound up having the upper hand with the more popular collective catalog, but Totally Hits wasn't any slouch, either, even if they were Now's perpetual kid sister.

So, here we have a pretty solid collection of late 90s and early 2000s commercial fare that should provide for a nice nostalgia rush, but the most glaring omission on this third Totally Hits installment is that there aren't any boy bands at all. And that's because, by the time this album had come out, NSYNC—who had made an appearance on the prior volume—had successfully left their label, RCA, citing the glaring and overt exploitative practices of their manager, Lou Pearlman. And as a result, at the height of the teen pop explosion, the massive conglomerate that made up Totally Hits only had acts like Christina Aguilera and Vitamin C to show for it, whereas Now, with Jive Records appearing to fall under their umbrella, had not only NSYNC, but also the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears as well. And as a result, Totally Hits suffered because of it.

youtube

But TH wasn't to be totally ignored, because their releases still had plenty of good pop music on them, and although they may have faltered in the teen pop arena, where they seemed to make up for it was in alternative pop-rock and R&B, with late 90s-early 00s entities like Matchbox Twenty, Barenaked Ladies, and Third Eye Blind holding down the rock side of things, while dominant forces like Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton were able to supply some of the quality R&B.

And another dimension that Totally Hits had that Now really didn't was country. I might dislike the pair of tunes that TH selected here for this album, between Faith Hill's super poppy "The Way You Love Me,“ and John Michael Montgomery's eyeroll-inducing and deeply Christian-overtoned "The Little Girl," but including a very popular genre that Now wasn't paying much of any mind to at all definitely helped Totally Hits to differentiate themselves.

So, I'd expect a lot of people to be familiar with most of these songs, but two that I'd like to point out especially are Dido's "Here With Me" and Next's "Wifey." Both of these acts each had a hit that was far more popular than the one that ended up on this album—Dido's "Thank You," which was also liberally sampled for Eminem's "Stan," and Next's "Too Close," a #1 hit song about trying to suppress an erection while grinding on someone 😂. But "Here With Me," which was actually Dido's debut single, is a beautiful piece of tender female singer-songwriter pop, and "Wifey," the lead single off of Next's sophomore album, is a terrific slice of dreamy and softly funky male group R&B.

So if you're ever trying to piece together an eclectic representation of a turn-of-the-millennium American commercial pop music landscape, Now is, of course, essential, but it'd be foolish to sleep on what Totally Hits had to offer, because while Now was definitely better, they weren't monopolistic, and TH was there to capitalize on that circumstance.

Highlights:

Pink - "Some Girls" Matchbox Twenty - "Bent" Vertical Horizon - "Everything You Want" Third Eye Blind - "Deep Inside of You" Barenaked Ladies - "Pinch Me" Dido - "Here With Me" Toni Braxton - "He Wasn't Man Enough" Christina Aguilera - "What a Girl Wants" Next - "Wifey" Vitamin C - "Graduation" The Corrs - "Breathless" Whitney Houston - "Fine"
