MC16 (108,983) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. did she say this Friday we’d know more about MC16 era or the single was going to be released? I think this Friday might just be the announcement - she needs to build the hype a bit. "Eric B. is president" must be sampled in the single as per the teaser. Where did you hear the "Type: Dangerous" bit? (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 06:09) this is a reply to message 108,977

MC16 (108,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well well MC once again reminding us we can never count her out. I had given up hope for a new album but Mariah didn't let RA down. Excited to hear the single this Friday. I hope it's as epic as the teaser. Apparently the single or album is called Type: Dangerous. Which is intriguing. It's also what's show on her car monitor T:D MC16. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25)

MC16 (108,982) by jaker20 from US I wonder if she liked the collab with Barbra and Ariana that she wants that on her album too and got inspired to finish it? If she collect all her collabs in the last few years, that could amount to half an album already. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 03:37) this is a reply to message 108,968

MC16 (108,968) by jaker20 from US If that is for real I will eat everything I said. (Monday 2 June 2025; 19:17)

MC16 (108,981) by Edward from USA Let's hope it has at least 20 tracks. We've been starving over here. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 02:35) this is a reply to message 108,977

Yo (108,980) by Lambi from USA Webmaster please stop doing me dirty. Could've just left it with Bill is another rude one. Now you completely put me out of context. My last 2 posts are meant to be posted separately now I sound like an incoherent fool. I know you mean well but you really have been doing me dirty fam. Also obviously I know you're trying to keep the peace here. If you think something is mean, just make it less harsh. Otherwise if you completely silence people who are standing up to the bullies, they're most likely not going to come back. Allow people to actually present their ideas, talk freely and give them a chance to fight back if someone is rude to them. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 02:25)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,979) by Edward from USA She thinks she's killing it with her non-facts. I stopped reading at "Beyonce debunks it". I couldn't keep losing brain cells reading such nonsense. Moving on. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 02:13) this is a reply to message 108,953

Music Box vs Daydream (108,953) by TJ from Norway It's time to grow up. (Monday 2 June 2025; 13:21)

The simplest explanation is the best explanation (108,978) by Lambi from USA Yeah, as L.A. Reid said, "She is simply more talented than all of us." I think when Brenda K. Starr tried to buy songs from Mariah when she was 18, it really made an impression on her - not to let anyone else sing her hits. But that was then (she was poor), this is now. She arranged vocals for Ariana and Jennifer. Hopefully, it's a stepping stone for her to finally start writing songs for major artists. I think Barbra reaching out to her might also help serve as a launchpad for that? Wait, I'm freaking dead. Jennifer's interview just came to mind. Mariah said to her, "Why didn't you call me to write a song?" in reference to the making of Jennifer's Christmas album. Mariah is definitely ready to extend her songwriting to other major vocalists. I'm also elated to see her actually collaborating with other female singers. Let's keep it real, she's mostly only done that with female rappers. Now, with Ari and Jen busting that door open, I truly wonder who else she's linked up with for MC16. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 01:00) this is a reply to message 108,959

The simplest explanation is the best explanation (108,959) by Tevin from USA Honestly, I wish she would get back into writing for others. Nobody can touch her pen game. Nobody. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:16)

MC16 (108,976) by Bobby A from United States Tevin, you are a wonderful Lamb. Apologies accepted. Thank you. I enjoy your posts as always. I am so excited today that new music is on the way. Is WYT the follow-up to ILT? Anyway, maybe my dysgraphia will get under control now. I have been messing up my posts with a lot of grammar errors lately. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25) this is a reply to message 108,966

MC16 (108,966) by Tevin from USA I want to publicly apologize to Bobby A, for doubting that MC16 was coming. Your optimism paid off, looks like a new era is about to start. (Monday 2 June 2025; 18:44)

Show some humanity (108,975) by TJ from Norway What is a real fan? (Monday 2 June 2025; 21:31) this is a reply to message 108,970

Show some humanity (108,970) by MC85 from Canada I am so grateful that you took the time and the love and the fortitude to write and post this, especially on this board. Beautifully written. "I couldn't have said it better" isn't enough. *It couldn't be said better.* Period. You're the kind of true fan that I hope Mariah, somehow, knows that she still has, because she wouldn't know it reading the majority of the comments on this board. She's a human. She's flawed. She's a treasure. She saved lives. She's older. She has feelings. All are true. If you're a fan, a real fan, then you just have to love her. That's all. I do. (Monday 2 June 2025; 20:00)

MC 16 (108,974) by Bobby A from United States Yes, you did Shezz. My mind became faded and went somewhere it didn't need to go. Lol. Patience is a virtue. (Monday 2 June 2025; 21:19) this is a reply to message 108,961

MC 16 (108,961) by Shezz from Pk Well - it looks like the drunk / addict / washed up / has been / stroke survivor / Christmas only act still has a little more left to say to us after all. Robert Anthony I told you not to lose hope but you kept creeping into the dark side. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:40)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,973) by MC85 from Canada Agreed. It's one thing to acknowledge Mariah's voice has changed; that's a fact. It's entirely another to directly insult her and then claim you're the only one who loves her like that. If that's the case then she should be happy she's only got one fan who loves her like *that*.

Nasty, nasty comment (108,916) by David from USA "2. Alcohol is known as one of the absolute worst things for a singing voice. Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair (to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing Hero better than she can and with no lipping) suggests she has indulged too much in this vice." Another fan disparaging and mocking Mariah with one of the most offensive comments I've seen yet (the part in parentheses). I feel sorry for you, buddy - you and all the lambs on here who wile away your hours hurting the woman who profess to love must have very sad, very unhappy to have to act out in this way.

Show some humanity (108,825) by Manuel from Germany Dear people on this board, have you no heart? Honestly the negativity on this board is painful. Do any of you know what it's like to be her? It's waking up every day and remembering you're not allowed to just be. That if you sound tired, you're "washed up". If you're quiet or having fun with yourself, you're a "diva". If you gain weight, it's magnified - literally - with a lens. And now, if you're medicated [...] and are dealing with the loss of family members and the end of a relationship, you "had a stroke"? WTF? Being Mariah is having your voice - the very thing that saved you - become a measuring stick they beat you with. Your voice - your literal lifeline - being turned into a battlefield. Every note Mariah's ever sung has been dissected, including on this board. Praised, worshipped, mocked, measured. And when your voice is that good - the pressure to never slip is inhuman. I guess for her lip-syncing isn't lying. It's surviving. It's choosing to still show up when the heartbreak is louder than the applause. When she may rather feel like grieving. How many times has she stood in front of thousands of us while screaming inside? She's been singing through breakdowns, betrayals, miscarriages, racist industry BS, and a horrible childhood and youth before she was even famous. And yes, sometimes she shows up because she signed the paper, not because she is feeling it. But she goes on stage anyway, because she knows that somewhere you might be out there. Some kid like she once was, staring at the ceiling, praying to be loved. And if at this point her lipsync can keep that kid alive another night, she'll wear the diamonds and fake it. She doesn't do music, she is music. This isn't a job. It's not even a career. It's how she breathes. If you call yourself a lamb, you should know as much, because that's what drew you to her. And even when she tries to disappear, the music doesn't stop coming. This industry effed her over, again and again, pimped her pain, tried to own her. When you're a legend, they forget you're human. So quitting might look like freedom to you, but to her, that would feel like letting them win. Because that voice, even cracked, even lip-synced, even trembling is still her. And as long as she's got it, she'll use it how she chooses. Not for the charts. Not for the Grammys. Not for those greedy ones of you who see her as a product that is to remain Daydream Mariah forever. For her. And for the ones who still need it. And if you don't need it, leave. She is an artist. She knows that when she walks on that stage, somebody in that crowd remembers who they are, because they see her still fighting to be. She was never supposed to make it. A mixed-race girl with a broken home, bipolar disorder, and a five-octave range? Please. But here she is. Still here. Still selling out stadiums. Not because the industry let her. But because she refused to disappear. So have some humanity inside you and stop projecting your unresolved issues on her. Imagine yourselves in her position. When she is ready, she will speak her truth. Until then, enjoy what she has to offer now, or enjoy her legacy. It's all there. She is as real as it gets right now, medicated and all. That is her, a human being. And she is still showing up, looking like a goddess, selling out, going number one every year. Love to you all. (Friday 23 May 2025; 00:28)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,964) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, sorry for thinking you were also Baby from Dreamville. Your posts are simliar in length and style to Baby from Dreamville. Maybe he or she will post today. I am glad you are here on the board. Please stick around for as long as you would like. I hope you understand that we are a tight group of board members who only want the best for MC. We have been through all of MC's highs and lows in the past 30 years. We can get very defensive questioning some of her professional decisions. However, it seems like we can all be happy again today because MC16 is finally on the way.

Music Box vs Daydream (108,950) by Lambi from USA That's a new one. I'm very new here. Please show me this baby you speak of. I'd like to see if he is as strong debater and doesn't resort to calling anyone a "yasss queen". But the bone I pick with Edward is because he made a big deal with me saying Mariah is avoiding wrinkles. Which btw, is a very verifiable fact. I'm just throwing the ball back way harder now because you don't do that to new comers. I'm finding out he's rather weak in debate and can't actually defend why he believes what he believes. His points are easily debunkable and he can't present you any fact. [censored] He made fun of Mariah. A couple people stood up for Mariah and called him nasty. He now then say "wow okay I guess I'll just hibernate aw I'm so sad". Its like he did the bullying and now he's the victim. Do you see the level of derangement? And with you? I don't have any problem. You're rather polite. We disagree with Solange's remix but you've never been rude. Hope this helps. (Monday 2 June 2025; 12:12)

Article: Mariah Carey teases 16th studio album (108,963) by Bobby A from United States This is a surprise this morning. What's Your Type? - must be the first single. Is that the question she asked Anderson .Paak? Lol. You know it is funny that we get this news today. I sent an X message yesterday to Rae Khalil, Anderson .Paak's songwriting partner asking her if WBT part 2 was on the way. Also, I sent an X message yesterday to MC, Barbra, Ariana, and some pop morning show radio hosts (Bert Ferguson, Elvis Duran, and IHeart Radio) if they were ready for One Heart One Voice to take over radio in 26 days. MC and her team must have plan to capitalize on the OHOV release this month. Are we ready for MC to take over radio this summer? Isn't this what we having wanting for 3 years? (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:50)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,962) by Stacey from USA Yeah, no kidding. I became a fan during the MB era. Once I heard Hero, the rest they say is history. Daydream is my favorite album because it represents all what makes Mariah amazing - r&b and pop mixed to perfection. There is such a depth to her voice. But make no mistake, Daydream doesn't happen without MB, Emotions, and the debut. I am forever grateful I've got so many priceless songs to listen to.

Music Box vs Daydream (108,960) by Tevin from USA That's a great take on those albums. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:25) this is a reply to message 108,933

Music Box vs Daydream (108,933) by Edward from USA Lyrically, I prefer Daydream, but vocally, Music Box reigns supreme in my book. While her voice on Daydream was like pure butter, smooth, nuanced, and mature, on Music Box, it was fuller, more powerful and with a richness difficult to match. Mariah Carey, Music Box, and Merry Christmas are the only albums where Mariah came closest to matching Whitney’s level of resonance and vocal power. Daydream still featured incredible vocals, strong, expressive, and technically refined, but it leaned more into buttery tone and artistic subtlety rather than sheer vocal force. As an overall body of work, Daydream was more mature and creatively sophisticated than Music Box, but vocally, Music Box was a powerhouse. As much as I love myself some Music Box, Daydream is the better album in my humble opinion. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:10)

The simplest explanation is the best explanation (108,932) by Lambi from USA I actually believe the human singing voice is perfected through Mariah. She can quite literally do everything and more. God was like: "She's just gonna sound out of this world, in every register, and her songwriting will blow everyone out of the water, oh and I'll put her in charge of my holiday." Her voice is a literal gift from the heavens above but it also came with a bit of a curse. Mariah has nodules. Her ability to whistle eventually worsened her nodules. Her voice was the money maker, because she was poor and is deeply afraid of the rug being pulled from under her. She worked her voice to the extremes. Songwriting also happen to make bank in royalties so she went crazy hard on that too. She simply overworked her gifts. End end. These nose jobs and alcoholism theories sound so elementary. No other singer will have a similar decline diagnoses because Mariah is simply built different. A cut above the rest. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 00:33)
