Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (113,330) by Bobby A from United States MC was nominated for a third time again today. I think My Love and Jesus I Do caught the committee's attention to receive another nomination. When MC walks across the stage this year, it will be a huge accomplishment for MC. (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 15:52)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (113,329) by Dave from USA Congratulations to Mariah for another opportunity to be inducted into the R&R HoF. Here's to hoping she makes it this time. (I know damn well if Shakira or P!nk get inducted for her, the process is just rigged at that point, lol.) (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 15:38)

Mariah and Janet duet (113,328) by John from USA I envision a Mariah and Janet duet where they can both whisper to their hearts' content. It should be a dance heavy, pop and R&B infused song, similar to but not as dated (nor poorly produced) as this song. I can see it now: Janet on one side dancing her socks off. Mariah on a bed cavorting and acting all sexy in front of a wind machine. Scream could nevah (evah). (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 06:28)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,327) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't think it's a potential number one hit. Also it's a wonderful song. But the charts are so "strange" nowadays. What does the UK fans think? I think "NII" had the most hit potential. Too bad it wasn't released or pushed more. (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 20:18) this is a reply to message 113,324

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,324) by Lainsky from Philippines Do you think "My Love" will go to No. 1 in the UK, at least, if she releases it? (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 15:36)

HFIA Breakdown (113,326) by Terna from Nigeria Are you kidding? The Roof for me was an immediate love and it kinda made me aware of the difference between Pop songs and R&B songs, matter of fact that whole album "Butterfly" is such a masterpiece from that sacred era of music, the late 90's when digital recordings were becoming a thing. I'm glad Mariah has that one body of work, released right in the heart of that time era 1996 - 1998, and then also there was "When You Believe". Wow. Oh how time flies, 1998 will soon be 30 years ago (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 19:25) this is a reply to message 113,317

HFIA Breakdown (113,317) by Lainsky from Philippines The Roof has grown on me over the years. I didn't like it at first. Her current voice is suited to sing songs like this and Breakdown. So, yes, it would be nice if she released an album with songs influenced by hip-hop like these, and I won't mind. (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:20)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,325) by Terna from Nigeria "The hype was there until she performed it on BET Awards, and the public saw that she can barely walk, and so the song tanked. It's a performance song, and she needs help to walk." Haha. Why did I laugh so hard and long at this statement? Mariah is not gonna like this Jake. Lol.

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,315) by jaker20 from US Mariah is not in the stage of her career where she should be singing this type of songs anymore. She is not cool and she can't vibe with the beat. It's a great cool song, and if it's released by Ariana or Taylor, it would be a hit. The hype was there until she performed it on BET Awards, and the public saw that she can barely walk, and so the song tanked. It's a performance song, and she needs help to walk. There is a disconnect between her and what lambs want her to do. If she wants to release a modern song like Type Dangerous, maybe it's better if they release a really great video and then hide her from the public. It's the same situation with Sugar Sweet. If that song is released by someone else, it would be a hit because it's a great song. But the supposed video of it, it's the same touching her hair and hips moves. Well I have no words how bad it is. How do you craft a great song and throw it away like that is the current state of Mariah's career. So Mariah 2026 problem is not the song, and not even her voice. The problem is her, she doesn't know how to perform these types of songs anymore. She cannot be directed, not choreographed. I think it's time Mariah and lambs accept the fact that she should only release songs that matches her current personality and her performance level. It's sad when lambs post here that they listen to AI Mariah. They are imagining a Mariah of the good old days on her current songs which is some mental acrobatics. That's just how bad her situation is, and just a bad way to listen to music in general. They'd rather listen to Mariah sounding like a chipmunk (frankly that's how AI sounds to me in general), that is not her, than accept her current state. Equally sadder is suggesting a nodules operations, another lamb fanfic that will somehow turn back the clock. For me My Love is her current state. It does not fit on the radio nor the streaming hits right now, but its authentic to her current voice and personality. And I'm sure she can at least perform that kind of song live. Think 70s Carpenters, understated, standard, mature, dare I say: basic. That's her in 2026 and the next few years. She's not a popstar anymore nor a vocal diva anymore and the first step is accepting it. Also, to add: everyone was excited about Nothing Is Impossible, then all the excitement went away after she performed it at the Olympics. Her performance almost always backfires on her own songs. That's what happened with #Beautiful, and that's the state of her new songs over the past 15 years if you think about it. At least on her non-Christmas songs. Thankfully the legacy of those classics is so strong she herself can't ruin them anymore when she performs them. (Monday 23 February 2026; 03:38)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,320) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great post. I have the same thought about all the mentioned things. You described it perfectly. With the "current personality and her performance level", that's a good point too. I wonder what the answer could be about the current personality and performances? I don't know the answer but I would say jazz, blues and retro soul suits better than hip-hop or modern RnB songs for a legend like Mariah nowadays. "My love" is a highlight on HFIA and such a beautiful song and cover. (Monday 23 February 2026; 17:23)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,323) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Dreamlover" was very strong as a single. It's so Mariah at its best. It has such a good vibe. And how I love the remix. I just can't get over the 90ies. Lol. (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 14:21) this is a reply to message 113,321

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,316) by Lainsky from Philippines "TD is a fun song, and I agree that the intro beat and sample are fantastic. While the chorus is somewhat underwhelming, I still like the song, though I don't love it as much as her first singles from the 90s. 'Fantasy', 'Honey', 'Heartbreaker', and 'Emotions' are her four strongest first singles. Each of these songs features a chorus that people can easily sing and hum along to, which is something that 'TD' lacks." (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:17)

HFIA Breakdown (113,319) by Zachariah from Croatia I would love that as well. I always liked Mariah era after Butterfly album than before it. She does hip-hip/rnb very well and I would love a mixture of TEOM/Caution/HFIA. (Monday 23 February 2026; 09:52) this is a reply to message 113,317

I had a dream (113,318) by Lighty from China Just follow "Nostradamus Insider" on X and you'll be as good a detective as our dear Bobby A. But the accuracy of the leaks from that "insider" is at most half half, dare I say. (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:38) this is a reply to message 113,312

I had a dream (113,312) by Giovanni from USA That's so exciting to hear, are you a detective Bobby haha? Seems like you know a lot about Mariah's whereabouts. I really hope Mariah's next album makes a splash and she finally gets those Grammys she deserves .Mariah deserves a Norah Jones or Billie Eilish moment. I hope Gamma can make it happen if the music is Grammy worthy. (Sunday 22 February 2026; 06:33)

HFIA breakdown (113,309) by Bill from the UK Were it not for The Roof being so damn good, Breakdown would be my favourite from Butterfly. Those two tracks are like the backbone of the album and such a positive step in the evolution of her sound back then. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 20:51)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,314) by Bobby A from United States Type Dangerous' intro beat is sick with a clever hip hop sample. However, the beat for the lyrics and chorus is underwhelming. The minimalist production for the sassier lyrics take center stage and that was a bad production choice. I have to say Type Dangerous is MC's weakest first single ever. Through the Rain is her second weakest single. I hope MC can create something like Honey or Loverboy for MC17. (Monday 23 February 2026; 01:50)

I had a dream (113,313) by Bobby A from United States Yes, I know MC has reflected upon her missteps with HFIA and now has a plan to give us a Mariah Carey album we have not heard since Daydream, Butterfly or TEOM. I just feel MC is getting ready to join the following legacy artists in the Grammy platinum album comeback club. 1. Steely Dan - Two Against Nature (2000) 2. Paul Simon - Graceland (1986) 3. D'Angelo - Black Messiah (2014) 4. Santana - Supernatural (1999) 5. Green Day - American Idiot (2004) 6.

I had a dream (113,303) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Giovanni. I just keep having these strong feelings and visions that MC is preparing to come back stronger with MC17. MC was seen recently at Hit Factory Studios meeting with recording engineer Kento Yonesaka (worked on MIAM) and a producer from MIAM. She seems hungry to be on top again knowing that seven years between albums is something that she should never do again. Maybe Bruno Mars and Jill Scott have inspired her. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 15:09)

HFIA breakdown (113,311) by Bobby A from United States Both tracks are hip hop influenced songs where MC's voice often shines through. I hope she thinks about going in that direction for MC17. (Sunday 22 February 2026; 03:34) this is a reply to message 113,309

Here For It All - discovery (113,310) by Bobby A from United States Yes, I do. Daniel Moore said, "That's it MC." It sounds like he says, "I got it." However, he forgot to turn off his mic in the control room. MC must have recorded multiple takes and Daniel Moore was ready to go home.

Here For It All - discovery (113,305) by Victor from Costa Rica Hi guys. I was listening to the song and I notice that at time 0:30 there's a man talking just right after Mariah says "Someone says that's tough." Can you understand what he is saying? (Saturday 21 February 2026; 17:55)

HFIA breakdown (113,299) by Stacey from USA "You called yesterday to basically say; That you care for me but that you're just not in love; Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly; And led you to believe I was O.K; To just walk away from the one thing; That's unyielding and sacred to me." Oh heck ya, the song is about Jeter. Such a beautiful song. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 04:18)

Nothing is impossible/ wrong lyrics (113,308) by Lara from Middle East It would be nice if Mariah Carey people could reach Alyssa Liu for a video on Nothing is Impossible. Her story is beautiful and fits. Don't laugh at me but in (I won't allow it) I don't know why but my brain sings "I won't entertain that part" instead of "I forgot to tell you that part". (Saturday 21 February 2026; 20:34)

Nothing is Impossible (113,307) by Jamie from UK I take the gruesome fall as being her first mental breakdown not when she fell on set. To me it's more of a gruesome fall from grace. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 19:37) this is a reply to message 113,301

Nothing is Impossible (113,301) by AnKo from Germany Surely, we can't look behind the scenes and we don't know the budget that gamma has left for HFIA. But I would love this song to be the next single because it has potential as a hit but also for a great music video as well. She could tell her story about so many things: starting with the actual gruesome fall in that remix music video of #Beautiful, then her mental (bipolar) breakdowns to her family/private fails and falls. She could even issue her voice struggles and using playback all the time. But I guess that won't happen. It seems like she doesn't like to recall certain things and is trying to preserve that perfect image of hers as a supreme timeless song bird or something. Watching her latest performance at the winter Olympic games opening ceremony reminds me of an animal that has been attacked by a predator or hit by a bullet of a hunter and is pretending that every thing is still fine even though it can barely stand up or move. You know the instinct of animals to show no weaknesses? Idk, just a stupid thought of mine. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 10:57)

Always Be My Baby 30th anniversary (113,304) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia This song was huge back then even if there's no tv promo this song still managed to get to No 1 on Hot 100 for two weeks. It's a wasted opportunity not to have Mariah perform this song at MTV Video Music Awards in 1996 when she's clearly there presenting award. She even made appearance at Rosie Show and Billboard Awards in late 1996 without performing any of the songs from the big selling album Daydream. (Saturday 21 February 2026; 15:53)
