What's wrong with Mariah (111,282) by Edward from USA
Bobby A, if you break your hip at 30, what are you supposed to do, sit around until you’re 60 to get it fixed? Please. That’s why Mariah sometimes moves a little stiff, giving robot realness. It's not her fault though, back them hip replacement technology wasn't that advanced.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,281) by Bobby A from United States
I don't think MC had hip replacement surgery at 30 years old. That type of surgery is generally for people 60 and above.

Sweetheart is one of my favorite 1998 MC songs. Her vocals are so clear.

Vegas residency (111,279) by Zachariah from Croatia
Trust me, nothing would make me happier than that. I would pay someone to go to Vegas and to see her live, just out of joy.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,278) by Zachariah from Croatia
I saw that and I think it is beyond fake. I think she is just afraid that she won't fall like she did shooting different version of the video Beautiful.

Curse or cuss (111,277) by Stacey from USA
Parenting is tough. It's a lot harder than when I was a kid. Social media had become the game changer. Like I told TJ, you set the expectations and hope something sinks in. I try and teach my kids to laugh, work hard, nothing is automatic, honesty, integrity, and be kind. I'm trying to get my kids to enjoy Mariah's music. I play it in the car enough, lol. Sadly, that may not sink in. The closest I got was the summer of 2014 when my kids requested the "you don't know" song on our way to swimming lessons. It didn't take long term.

Mariah's priorities (111,275) by Stacey from USA
In the states there were warning labels for movies, music, etc. I was born in 1977. My years of childhood were of course the 80s and 90s. No technology like we have today. I agree with you 100% we are raising snowflakes. Such whiny entitled brats. Not every kid. I teach plenty of good students who understand the value of hard work. I teach middle school special education so yeah I can speak to this somewhat. It's a hard balance of when to choice for my kids and let them choose for themselves. All three of my kids are teenagers. I have to teach what I can and hope it sinks in.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,274) by Edward from USA
She actually ended up having hip replacement surgery. If you remember her MTV Cribs episode, she fell off a treadmill while working out in high heels. Classic Mariah.

At this point, I can appreciate some good lipping. Mariah has managed to fool me a couple of times, and honestly, I don't mind. It lets me relax instead of sitting on the edge of my seat, so I can just enjoy how great she looks and take in the whole performance.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,272) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I would say the high heels could cause it, there are poison for the feet. But at the age of 30/31, that's hard to believe. I know a woman who had that hip sugery at 56 which is very "young" too. She always had high heels on. I will never understand why damage the foot just for a certain look. I can understand if a woman is very small and wants to look higher, but for a tall woman it makes no sense. You can wear chic shoes with a small heel, boots or cool sneakers, they even makes you younger. So it's a win-win.

My prayer (111,271) by Dove from United States
Me too. That's my biggest prayer for Mariah. That she will meet her soul mate and they will be happy and content for the rest of their lives. Someone like Tina Turner's second husband. You could tell he adored her. Mariah writes a lot of songs about love so I think deep inside it's what she truly desires.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,269) by BFF from United States
This video claims she had hip replacement surgery back in 2000? That sounds pretty outlandish - having hip replacement at the age of 30/31. What possibly could have been happening at that time to cause such a surgery? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Vegas residency (111,268) by Jamie from UK
Haha I know, imagine she comes out with full on 1994 vocals and shuts everyone up. Somehow I think we're a bit late in the day for live vocals now, which is sad but it's where we're at I guess.

Day 6 - #1's (1998)
+ Sweetheart EP
+ I Still Believe EP
+ Do You Know Where You're Going To EP

September 17 is day 6 of the listening party, and we're stepping into the #1's era - a moment that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves, but is way more interesting than people give it credit for.

By '98, Mariah had officially shut the door on the Tommy chapter and was living in a new kind of freedom. She went above the execs and flew straight to Japan after the divorce to meet with the head of Sony and hammer out her exit. That meeting cleared the way for a new five-album deal and a chance to steer her own ship. The label pitched a standard "greatest hits", but MC felt it was too soon to put a bow on her first act. So she turned it into a thank you to the fans - a celebration of becoming the female artist with the most U.S. #1 singles (13 at that point, edging out Madonna's 12).

What makes #1's special is that it wasn't just a trophy case; she gave us four new songs to keep the story moving. Sweetheart, a cover of Rainy Davis's ‘86 jam, came via Jermaine Dupri. The JD collab is fun, but the solo Mariah mix is where the magic lives: the production has room to breathe and her voice is front and center. And those low low's. My oh my. I know many of you listen to Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker, in that order. The solo version slides perfectly between Honey and Heartbreaker.

And then there's When You Believe - the song that won an Oscar and gave us a moment nobody dared to dream of until it happened. Babyface built this sweeping gospel ballad for The Prince of Egypt, but it became something even bigger the instant Mariah and Whitney walked into the studio together. Two-thirds of the vocal trinity, finally side by side, not as rivals but as women with voices powerful enough to move mountains. You can feel the respect in every note, the way they listen to each other and lift each other up. What started as a soundtrack cut turned into the beginning of a real, lasting friendship between two legends who'd been unfairly set against each other for years. RIP Whitney - her light is still in that song.

I Still Believe is a full-circle moment: the Brenda K. Starr song she used to sing backing vocals on, now reimagined as her own. That EP is one of her best. The Pure Imagination remix, Stevie J's take with Mocha & Amil (her second all-female feature after the ABMB remix), and a stack of club mixes that still sound fresh today. The single made it to all the way to #4, proof that even her "bonus" tracks could almost hit the top.

Finally, Do You Know Where You're Going To (aka the Mahogany theme) finds Mariah leaning into introspection, and also into the Diana Ross lineage she's always nodded to. Tommy supposedly encouraged J.Lo to cover it after hearing Mariah wanted to release it as a single - so yes, it seems the seeds of sabotage were planted well before the Glitter days. But we love everybody and we move on.

And can we talk about the cover? That silver mini, the hair, the attitude, that pose - she looks sexy in the best way, referencing Ross's Diana album while serving "I'm free and I know it". It's easily one of her best covers.

Looking back, #1's quietly set a template: after MC, everyone from Michael Jackson to Destiny's Child to The Beatles put out their own "#1's" sets. But Mariah's wasn't just a compilation; it was a statement that she was still writing the story, even as she paused to celebrate the wins.

So spin the album and the EPs tonight. #1's might look like a stopgap on paper, but it's really the sound of an artist closing one door, opening another, and thanking the fans who'd been with her every step. LYM. Mariah Carey "Here For It All" release countdown streaming calendar: Midnight September 17th #1's, 18th Rainbow, 19th Glitter, 20th Charmie, 21st Emancipation, 22nd E=MC2, 23rd Memoirs, 24th Elusive Chanteuse, 25th Caution plus beyond, 26th HFIA.

Billboard Hot 100 (111,266) by Edward from USA
I was just scrolling through the Billboard Hot 100 like I used to, and I'm flabbergasted, who are all these people? I think I only recognized about seven artists on the whole list. Times have really changed. That's why Mariah being at the top every single year with "AIWFCIY" is something we should never take for granted.

Curse or cuss (111,265) by Edward from USA
Stacey, it's really sad. Even when we try to keep kids away from "bad words", like we used to call them, social media just blasts them from every angle. That's why the foundation they get at home is so important. Sure, they'll hear those words, but they should also know better than to actually use them. I remember when I was a kid, about 12 years ago, if I heard an adult outside my family cuss, I was shocked, I had never once heard my parents do it. Even now, I don't really cuss, though I might drop a word or two with friends, but it's not part of how I normally talk. I know it sounds harsh by today's standards, but where I grew up, if you disrespected your elders or cussed, you'd get smacked right on the mouth.

Jamie, you've set yourself up for a "I really hope she sings live this time, just so we can finally shut you up". I got one of those from Zachariah, and it was awesome.

I honestly prefer when she lip syncs nowadays. At least I know it'll sound good. The only people who notice are the lambs and the haters.

Thank God I found you (111,262) by MusicfanJ from Germany
99 was a fun year to be a Mariah fan. Rainbow was the most pop album from her with a touch of RnB. But it made sense, it was the time of Britney Spears and boybands. So 98 Degrees were a perfect match for "TGIFY". Joe was also a good choice. It's not one of her top 5 number one songs, but it's a cute little song. The remixes are really good. RnB at its best.

Lambi (111,261) by MusicfanJ from Germany
That's my biggest wish for Mariah, to find a real partner/man. (Beside health of course, the most important thing.) Not a clown or another player or wannabe. I think Mariah's chosen men are mostly awful. The same with Mr. Anderson, I hope they only make music together. Just business. For a serious partner, he's a no no. Bryan and Mariah were a beautiful couple. He seemed like he really cared for her. And as a human he seemed to have a good heart and spirit. It's so sad it didn't work. I remember the little video where they were playing table-tennis together. Mariah was looking so happy and normal. No diva, just a woman who enjoys the time with her man.

Because she’s been doing it for years and more so recently. But if she sings live then bonus but highly doubt it
