Biopic (114,741) by Rose from United States
If there were a biopic about Mariah, I think Victoria Justice could do her justice. She's stunning, and I'm surprised she didn't become more famous. She's one of those people I never get tired of looking at when she's on the screen. Her speaking voice isn't as beautiful as Mariah's, not that it's unpleasant. Mariah's speaking voice is celestial.

Last Meals Show (114,740) by Rose from United States
I've been catching up on shows this past month, and I came across a YouTube channel called Mythical Kitchen. Celebrities come on and have their favorite meals prepared for them - the meals they would choose for their last day on Earth. I've watched several episodes now, and I've loved every one.

The host is gracious and asks great questions. It feels like you're just hanging out with friends. Nothing feels uncomfortable or intrusive. I'd love to see Mariah on this show.

After watching these long-form episodes, I feel like I know the guests better, but the episodes never feel too long. Some of these people I'd never even heard of before, but by the end, I found myself wanting to invest more time in getting to know them. I like the host just as much as I like Keke Palmer as a host. They're both naturals.

YouTube has some of the best shows out there right now, and it's one of the few platforms I feel is actually worth subscribing to. I only subscribe to YouTube and Prime. YouTube is also the only social media platform I feel is worth my time right now.

The thing about Mariah's interviews is that they've been boring lately because she gets asked the same questions over and over, even on good shows where the interviewer usually asks more interesting questions. I suspect they're given an approved list of questions. What I think they should do is let Chef Josh ask the questions he genuinely wants to ask, but maybe send them to her beforehand so she has time to think about her responses. That way, we might get to hear something new and have a more meaningful conversation.

HFIA (114,739) by Edward from USA
Making an album costs money, especially with promotion, music videos, and everything else involved. Based on HFIA's numbers, it probably didn't make sense to keep spending on a project that lost most of its momentum after week one. At some point, you have to look at the return. It's a business. Some people love blaming Gamma for what they did wrong or didn't do, but they need to be realistic. The label can't keep pouring money into a project that isn't bringing in enough to justify more investment.

Loverboy remix video in 4k (114,738) by Lighty from China
I think it's because most budget went into that Type Dangerous video, so nothing's left for Sugar Sweet.

Loverboy remix video in 4k (114,737) by Lainsky from Philippines
It's true. It's indeed enjoyable, and this version really brings it to life in a fresh way.

Loverboy remix video in 4k (114,736) by jaker20 from US
It's doing better than most of Mariah's recent videos. It's super cheesy but it works with the song. It again proves that good concept videos still work if they actually put effort on it.

I really think a good Sugar Sweet video would have changed the trajectory of HFIA, but Mariah didn't push for it because the Shensea & Kehlani version is better than her original and she's probably not here for it.

Physical media (114,735) by Stacey from USA
I remember when my sister got me a maxi CD for ABMB. At that point, I had no idea how much Mariah was into remixing songs. It was like I discovered this whole new world I had no clue existed. That fueled my collecting days and how I came to discover MCArchives. I trusted Eric's discography to verify legit releases. At one point, I had all of Mariah's USA promo CDs. Sadly as we've moved from a physical copy world to a digital world, I sold my collection many years ago. I still have fond memories of those days.

Gliiter cd (114,734) by Stacey from USA
Seriously, nothing like popping in a CD in my car and listening to it on the way home from work. I just got my Daydream 30th anniversary CD yesterday. I still get excited pulling out the liner notes and reading them, smelling the new booklet too.

Physical media (114,733) by Edward from USA
Maxi singles were almost like getting a whole separate album. I played my "Heartbreaker" maxi single to death, lol. I loved how they could turn one single into something completely different with remixes and extra tracks. It gave us something new to enjoy instead of just hearing the same song over and over. Those were the days.

I'm not too fund of of "Thank God She Found Him", but the "Make It Last" remix, in my humble opinion, was great. The "My All" maxi single was great, too. For the nostalgia Dahlings.

Man, we really got to experience some good times. Now so many songs come and go without leaving much of an impression. I miss when getting a new single actually felt exciting. I sound like an old man, and I'm only 25.

Physical media (114,732) by Bill from the UK
I really miss the CD single format. In the UK it was incredibly popular, so most artists went all out with their CD singles. Beautiful digipaks, picture discs (Mariah had some beautiful ones for her debut era singles), art prints, posters, video CD-ROMs, exclusive remixes, live tracks, b-sides, artwork etc. I have hundreds and hundreds of them and love them so much. Mariah was no exception and always delivered. It was so popular in the UK most CD singles were issued in a Part 1 and Part 2. Part 2 usually followed the week after release to sustain sales. So spoilt.

I definitely can relate to reading the lyrics and stuff like that. I guess I lost interest when the digital era took over and CDs and singles didn't get the special treatment they used to.

Yes I also have my CDs saved on a massive hard drive (backed up to Google) in FLAC too for if I ever suffer the tragedy of a fire etc. I spend my weekends meticulously cataloguing, ripping, and photoshopping the album covers so they look perfect. But still, I love going through my CDs and cassettes and playing the physical media, looking at the artwork etc. You can't hold a download.

Physical media (114,729) by Edward from USA
​It's been a long time since I last owned physica media, but before getting rid of my collection, I ripped all my CDs into FLAC format to preserve that original quality, and made backup copies, of course. There's nothing better than having my music right on my phone where no company can take it away over a missed payment or bad signal. I also like the feeling of owning what I paid for.

​The subscription madness everywhere is getting out of control. I personally canceled everything but Prime, which I share with someone else. It blows my mind that you don't even truly own your car these days, so many new features get locked behind a paywall once your trial ends. It's ridiculous.

​I think many of us are longing for a time when things weren't as reiant on technology, when life was simpler, people socialize with real tangible friends. Technology keeps advancing at a very fast pace, but our humanity has either remained stagnant or actively regressed.

Mariah as a mini-doll (114,727) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands
I'm a huge collector of Lego mini-dolls and I always wondered how Mariah would look like if Lego created a mini-doll in her image. So I asked ChatGPT to design a Mariah Carey mini-doll and the result is amazing.

Gliiter cd (114,726) by BFF from US
I found myself overwhelmed by the clutter of physical media. So that, along with my job being eliminated and my job search, inspired a minimalist approach to music, movies, TV, etc. I definitely agree with “streaming fatigue” as it relates to movies and TV, but I actually love having Apple Music right at my fingertips. I have not made the leap to eBooks because I don’t like staring at screens to read a book, so I just make sure I limit the number of “unread” books I buy or check out from the library.

Fantastic. I love my Blu Ray player. To watch all the movies on DVD and Blu Ray are so much fun. I have more DVD's than Blu Rays, but the DVD's are looking great on it, even the older ones. I just watched "The Walk" and "Harry and Sally". Lol. So next movies will be "Glitter" and "Mean Girls".

EL's CT for 25 weeks (114,721) by Lainsky from Philippines
The prediction I read about the Billboard Hot 100 is that Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas will return to the No. 1 spot for the 25th week, and I couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. All I Want should be number one in late November and throughout December to reclaim the torch, lol.

Yes, I have the CD of the Glitter album and its singles available, such as "Loverboy" and "Never Too Far/Don't Stop (Funkin' for Jamaica)". I'm not sure if there are other CD singles from this album.

Gliiter cd (114,718) by Bobby A from United States
Well, it was reported in September that consumers are buying CDs again. I can tell that they are because records labels are making sure CDs are available just like vinyl records. I feel the 15 extra tracks will be available on CD for Black Friday sales. I would email Tower Records to ask them to check Alliance Entertaiment's website (wholesale distributor) to see if it shows up available to order in the future, but UMG won't allow Alliance to add it to their website for retailers to order probably until two weeks after 10/30. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it is released as on CD.

Gliiter cd (114,717) by BFF from US
I think the deluxe edition with the 15 bonus songs is only available on streaming. It would be cool if she released a CD version like she did with Music Box and Daydream. I think one of the vinyl releases has "Loverboy (Firecracker)", "Out Here on My Own", and "Never Too Far/Hero".

I recently donated all of my physical media to downsize and prepare for a move, so I don't have the original CD any more. Luckily, fans have uploaded the full soundtrack and the movie to YouTube so I'm tied over until the streaming re-releases.
