What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,867) by Bobby A from United States Syed, I like how you are possibly starting a new trend by responding to various board members within one message. It is going to be a great summer with you here. I am looking forward to several MC reveals like whether MC will join Ariana on Petal for a song, when MC will drop the Glitter anniversary presale website and partnerships and will the Glitter anniversary album rival the Music Box anniversary album.

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,864) by Syed from UK Usually I'd be replying to everyone individually but I don't want to clog up the feed and detract from what's most important, so I'll say my thankyou's to everyone here if that's ok. Firstly Lambi. Thank you so much for this, you've put a smile on my face. I was reading some of your recent previous posts earlier and was thinking how wonderfully you write, and in depth. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future. Chicago Lamb, really appreciate your thoughtful message. Thank you. Lighty, my apologies, I got confused, thinking your message was for me. Thank you for clarifying and for the welcome. Lainsky, I was just remembering my love for Manila (I was briefly there in 2023) when your message popped up. (Monday 25 May 2026; 21:21)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,866) by Bobby A from United States You're welcome Syed. I feel MC knows that the anniversary release of Glitter with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at helm could be the prelude to MC17 being her second comeback. The look and style MC gave the world at the Gucci event should be what MC goes for MC17. She should lose the gowns and heels for a more grown and sexy album cover for MC17. Why not? Cher did it in 1998 with Believe. Remember how the Believe album and Cher's beauty relaunced her career. (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 04:52) this is a reply to message 113,853

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,853) by Syed from UK Thank you so much Bobby. Glad to be here. I've read that 20-30 songs were recorded for Glitter that didn't make the final cut, and I'm excited to see which of these (if any) will be part of the Glitter 25th anniversary edition. Fingers crossed at least some of them will. (Sunday 24 May 2026; 12:58)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,865) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Welcome, Syed. And what about your songs? Would you let us have a listen? (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 02:15) this is a reply to message 113,849

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,849) by Syed from UK Hey everyone. I never knew about this site until today. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see actual conversations about our queen as opposed to an endless barrage of GIF's and emoji's under every Mariah post on Facebook, Insta, etc. And well articulated conversations - at that. I might not completely agree with every comment I've read, I think 1 or 2 border on overly critical, but it's good to see a diverse mixture of opinions from Lambs, without overt censorship. I agree with some of the viewpoints here that Mariah increasingly does not seem like her usual self these days. It may be her condition, a side effect of medication, or past (and recent) trauma resurfacing, a combination of all the above, or... something unrelated. As Lambs, the best thing we can do is to support Mariah in any we we can. Because that's what she did for us through countless songs such as: Hero, Can't take that away, Make it happen, and so many others. We also need to overlook any behaviors we might not agree with because A) It's hard to trust anything you see online anymore (thanks AI) and media never shows us the true picture, only a distorted version that "sells" better. And B) We are not in her shoes, as much as we may think we know her, we only know her through the lens of the media, mostly. What she may be going through or battling internally and how they might manifest outwardly are things we need to be mindful of. Just be kind. As she has always been to us. What do I feel could help? Well... if I had a magic wand I'd whisk Mariah away to a place where she could spend some time being in touch with nature, walk down a street without being recognized, and feel genuine excitement reconnecting with the simple things in life. It may not solve everything but I could literally guarantee that she'd feel a positive difference. Call it intuition (I share a lot of uncanny coincidences with Mariah) or just my observation of Mariah over the years and knowing the person she is beneath the exterior. About me: - Lamb since 1993 - when I first heard Dreamlover in a clothes store. - I can confidently say I wouldn't be where I am today, without her music to help me through so many rough times. - Creator of the "40 Hidden Mariah songs challenge" which is a tribute to Mimi plus fun Easter Egg hunt for the Lambily, you can catch it here if you'd like to try solving it. - Recorded and released my own song in 2 languages based on a wish to "pay forward" what Mariah's music did for me, with a song that gives others hope. Took me just 20 years to make it happen. Have a great weekend everyone and again really nice to meet you all. (Saturday 23 May 2026; 19:26)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,861) by Lambi from USA I loved the proper introduction and résumé, Syed. I appreciate your well thought-out first post. You are rather expressive, well-meaning and polite. This board is categorically on its own lane. All kinds of interesting topics. All kinds of characters. Welcome aboard and I hope you keep connecting with other lifelong lambs. (Monday 25 May 2026; 12:38)

Drake (113,863) by Carlos from United Kingdom A lot of money was clearly invested in the Type Dangerous video as though big hopes had been pinned on it doing well. The video was great - hard to beat but the song itself was not at that level. (Monday 25 May 2026; 19:22) this is a reply to message 113,839

Drake (113,839) by Lighty from China Also needed better marketing. Put all the budget in that forgettable Type Dangerous video is a waste. (Monday 18 May 2026; 16:30)

Lead The Way (113,862) by Bill from the UK On top of that, J.Lo/Tommy also gazumped Mariah with the Ja Rule feature on the "I'm Real" remix, which is very clearly an attempt to one up Mariah and Ja Rule's "If We". Ja Rule even went on record saying Tommy called him and got him to go on J.Lo's track as he feared If We would be a big hit if not. It's one of the best tracks on the album, so I wonder if it was intended to be released, but after I'm Real beat them to it, they opted for Don't Stop instead? Who knows. The whole era was a mess but at least we can look back and see it for what it truly was. It's a brilliant album with some of her best vocals and collabs of her career.

Lead The Way (113,860) by Lainsky from Philippines On top of my head, she could be unconsciously pushing for the singles in this album to be better than her Columbia releases, as her first for Virgin Records. It is an almost perfect album with those amazing singles, especially if the original Loverboy was not stolen. If there had been no breakdown, no Tommy sabotage, and no 9/11, and then this song had been released as an official single, who knows how it would have performed? It could have done better than We Belong Together. And Glitter could be a hit. (Monday 25 May 2026; 05:16)

Should have Jesus I Do have been the official first single? (113,859) by Lainsky from Philippines It could be a breath of fresh air, as Syed from the UK said - welcome aboard, dahling. And yes, it could have made a difference in that sense. People may like it or not, but regardless, it could have performed well on the charts. Those who aren't fans may get curious and might buy the album, only to be disappointed, likely by the other songs. I mean, I am not the only lamb wishing that she release a full gospel album. Perhaps she could do that for her next one. (Monday 25 May 2026; 05:10) this is a reply to message 113,855

Still, it would be even more exciting to see her back at the top of the main charts. I suppose we can always hope and dream. (Saturday 23 May 2026; 03:13)

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,846) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I've heard of "Hollywood Babylon" but preferred to stick with Diane Dimond's book because the book stressed that these abuses impact more than just celebrities. She talks about how the guardianship/conservatorship system has been used to victimize people from all walks of life. We should care about the issue regardless of the social/financial status of the people involved. I knew about Wendy's case and suspected that it may have been attempted with Mariah. But I had never heard it confirmed before. My guess was either Morgan or Stella because both seemed motivated by money and their involvement would align with the official accounts of Mariah's health struggles in 2001 and 2016.

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,843) by Lambi from USA Hi lamb. I recommend reading the book Hollywood Babylon. It highlights: • Exploitation by managers/studios/family. • Repeated public breakdown/mental illness narratives. • The entertainment industry profiting from vulnerable stars. The recurring theme is that stars are treated more like assets than people; controlled financially, medically, and publicly. They sort of follow the same playbook anytime someone tries to get out of major contracts. I believe Mariah survived 2001 by the grace of God. As much I think she is tremendously strong and is a true survivor, I also think after decades of atrocities against your life and legacy, you are inevitably going to be fatigued, which is what I've been feeling from her in these last years. Her overall demeanor, even when laughing, still has that cloud hovering over it. There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel. (Wednesday 20 May 2026; 00:17)

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,845) by MusicfanJ from Germany "There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel." Everytime I see that, it makes me sad too. I miss the happy Mariah. I know there were many setbacks the last two years, but I hope in the future she will be happy again. Feeling good and carefree and at last maybe finding a true soul. She deserves all the happiness in the world. Not just money and fame. I hope she enjoys her new home, a place in Connecticut sounds wonderful to me. (Wednesday 20 May 2026; 14:28) this is a reply to message 113,843

Mariah cover songs (113,844) by Lambi from USA I remember liking #Beautiful as a song, but I could not get past how dried up her breathy head voice was; therefore I never played the song as much. It's a feeling I hadn't felt about her voice before at the time. There were subtleties of it with MC2U too, but I was still able to get on with When Christmas Comes. She eventually redeemed herself, though. I really liked her whispers in Stay Long Love You, Giving Me Life, With You, and The Distance, probably because of the way they were mixed sonically: just a bit of soft pitch correction, airy reverb, minimal compression, and high-end EQ to fine-tune the breathy tone. She also harmonized them with elements of her lower register. It's hauntingly darker, smoky, and somewhat fresh. I think it's the piano-belting vocal-type songs that aren't really hitting the spot. Frankenstein approach is pretty accurate. Also if we didn't know, we'd probably assume Cry, Camouflage, Portrait, and HFIA belonged on the same album just because of how similar the high belts sound.

Mariah cover songs (113,823) by Bill from the UK It's an oddity in her catalogue because her other covers have all been really, really good. And she sort of brought it back with My Love. Although her voice is shot now she managed to pull it off and it's probably my favourite from the LP. I think because MIAM had such a Frankenstein approach to the vocals, all super engineered, enhanced, pitched up, and cut and spliced to mask how bad her voice has gotten, it just doesn't even sound like her. More like an AI rendition of what Mariah would do. Which, in fact, is what it probably was. (Friday 15 May 2026; 09:29)

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,843) by Lambi from USA Hi lamb. I recommend reading the book Hollywood Babylon. It highlights: • Exploitation by managers/studios/family. • Repeated public breakdown/mental illness narratives. • The entertainment industry profiting from vulnerable stars. The recurring theme is that stars are treated more like assets than people; controlled financially, medically, and publicly. They sort of follow the same playbook anytime someone tries to get out of major contracts. I believe Mariah survived 2001 by the grace of God. As much I think she is tremendously strong and is a true survivor, I also think after decades of atrocities against your life and legacy, you are inevitably going to be fatigued, which is what I've been feeling from her in these last years. Her overall demeanor, even when laughing, still has that cloud hovering over it. There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel.

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,830) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Diane Dimond's book "We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong", which is about abuses of guardianship like those committed against Britney Spears. I just came across a passage where Diane Dimond lists celebrity cases where someone attempted or proposed a guardianship/conservatorship and Mariah's name was mentioned alongside B.B. King, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and others. Has anyone else read or heard anything about this? It doesn't surprise me that someone tried this against Mariah and it seems most likely to have occurred during the 2001 hospitalizations or the 2016 incident. Stella seems the most likely culprit in my opinion. Dimond's book makes it seem like the system is very easy to weaponize for financial gain. No wonder Mariah was so outspoken in her support for Britney. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 21:21)
