Thanks! Is the Fantasy club mix on the single? Can't seem to find it

Yes, it's the official one on the single (also on her Remix collection).

And how could I forget ---- "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" ... it's an 80's style JAM from Glitter! A must-have.

- Fantasy (Daydream)

- Migrate (E=MC2)

- Side Effects (E=MC2)

- Touch My Body (E=MC2)

- For The Record (E=MC2)

- Thirsty (Me I Am Mariah)

- Heartbreaker (Rainbow)

- Crybaby (Rainbow)

- X Girlfriend (Rainbow)

- We Belong Together Remix (Emancipation of Mimi)

- Obsessed (Memoirs)

- Ribbon (Memoirs)

Can I also just say that her 2008 album "E=MC2" is probably her most upbeat and pop album out of them all. Personally I prefer her ballads however if you are looking for more pop/upbeat/rnb songs that is the one to go for. Her remixes are also quite upbeat, so defiantly listen to her remixes (she has a lot of them).

Hopefully I helped you find them

The we belong together remix is actually pretty good. You got most of them + everything that's been recommended before me. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. So lonely ft twista!

I was coming back to mention this one! Yes.

PS --- her cover of "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" cannot be overlooked if you're asking about "upbeat" Mariah tracks. It's a note-for-note recreation of the original (using the original producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Prince's The Time and Janet Jackson fame). Mariah has been a long-time stan of early 80's R&B and this song is one of her greatest triumphs in realizing her dream. Sounds crazy, but it's true!! This is Mariah at her most Mariah-est.

It's EVERYTHING.

More Than Just Friend, from Memoirs is a cute feel-good track.  It starts off mid-tempo but has nice replay value haha 

And this is a personal favorite:

If we're going to talk about "Mariah at her most Mariah-est" I also have to throw this one in the mix... Mariah LIVES for early 80's funk and R&B. And at that time, the king was Rick James (bitch) of Buffalo, NY. 

Fast forward to 2001 and Mariah hires a recovering drug-addled Rick James to give her a custom song for her 80's NYC musical film, Glitter. And he gives her this jam. It is the last production Rick James ever made in his lifetime (he died in 2004??). 

This song is a gift! It's our final song from Rick James. And he makes Mariah sound identical to his 80's girl group, the Mary Jane Girls.

It pains me to know how easily this project get written off.

OMG... another 'Glitter' classic that cannot be overlooked... "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life"!!!! You have to ignore Busta Rhymes obnoxious shouting (which was trendy at the time this was released), but Mariah's version of this song stands equally beside the original!!! She slayed these 80's R&B hits!!!!!

Vision Of Love is her best song. If you can't appreciate her 'slow' songs, I would advice you to look for another artist tbh
