Here For It All (114,649) by nancy from Switzerland
I wish you all the best and a good recovery. I've been dealing with chronic pain for years now. The things that help me a little bit are to be thankful with the simple and little things that life offers and to stay grounded.

Thank you Stacey, much appreciated. It's a pain isn't it but at least I'm back on track now.

Jamie, I understand what you're going through perfectly. The worst mental health crisis in my life was in 2022 from May to November. It took a long while to recover and get back to normal after so many little steps. I can see that you're almost there. You can feel that the rainbow is just around the corner. Be patient with yourself. And you know that you can count on Mariah's music and all of us here. \When we deal with this throughout our lives, we have to resort to previous experiences so that we can help ourselves.
"You're gonna make it through the rain".

Debut of the misstep (114,641) by Lainsky from Philippines
I couldn't agree more. MTV Unplugged is perfection, and Music Box's release is timely. She's still building her name at this point, and Tommy knows exactly what he's doing. He just became too controlling instead of collaborating, negotiating, and compromising with Mariah. I'm wondering what could happen if they weren't married and their relationship remained professional. Will Butterfly happen?

Sorry, Jamie, for what you've been through. We, or I, appreciate you sharing it here and being vulnerable. No one deserves to go through difficult times alone. Mariah's music truly offers hope and unites the lambs community despite disagreements.

We love you, Jamie. I'm really glad to hear things are starting to look up after such a difficult few months. You've been through a lot, and I hope the clouds continue to lift and better days are ahead. Take care of yourself and don't rush anything. We'll be here, and of course, impatiently waiting for that Glitter release with you.

Debut of the misstep (114,638) by BFF from US
I cannot imagine Mariah's career without "Music Box" coming out at the time it did. "Anytime You Need A Friend" is one of her best songs ever, and the "Music Box" album is arguably what established her as a truly international phenomenon. Some of the songs are so-so ("All I've Ever Wanted", "I've Been Thinking About You"), and I think it was a mistake to leave "Workin' Hard", "Everything Fades Away" and "Do You Think of Me" off the final version. But overall, I enjoy this period of Mariah's career and think a lot of R&B/Soul artists were taking an "adult contemporary" direction at that time. Mariah was hardly alone in it, and I think it was unfair that she was criticized for it.

"Music Box" also produced "Hero", which was at one time considered to be Mariah's signature song rather than "All I Want for Christmas is You." To be honest, I would much rather her be remembered for "Hero" or "Vision of Love" than "All I Want for Christmas is You".

I think you're the first person to describe Mariah's best-selling album, and one of the biggest-selling albums in history, a "misstep".

Debut of the misstep (114,633) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
I agree that Music Box is a perfectly mastered adult contemporary album. It firmly placed Mariah in the camp with Celine Dion and Barbara [sic] Streisand. But I think if she went in a more raw direction after Unplugged, she wouldn't be regarded as a "studio artist". She started hanging out with Courtney Love and Pamala Anderson around this time, I think Mariah has a rocker behind all the gloss. She didn't fully tap into that publicly until Bringin' On the Heartbreak a decade later, along with the GQ spread around the same time.

Music Box is her best-selling album worldwide so for Sony it was not a misstep in any case.

"Jesus I Do" scammy submission (114,631) by Bobby A from United States
The Dove Awards will be Tuesday, October 6th in Nashville. The edited broadcast will be live on the TBN Plus app on October 9th at 7:30pm ET. Google AI gave me the wrong date when I originally asked a month ago.

In Your Feelings (114,630) by Bobby A from United States
I feel MC's vocals will sound better on MC17. During 2021-2026, MC experienced a lot of heartbreak during that time. She appeared in recent videos and photos to be feeling better. I hope she plays her cards right by releasing an August 1st single followed by a October album release. By doing it that way she can capitalize on the promoting MC17 and the 2027 holiday season at the same time with her regular U.S. Christmas shows.

Here For It All (114,629) by Jamie from UK
I've really connected to Here For It All again recently. I've just been through a really difficult time with depression and anxiety, the worst I've had since it started 30 years ago. Listening to the lyrics in this track have resonated with me on another level and given me hope. I'm now back home after living with my mum for a month and getting back on track. I'm hoping to return to work soon as been off since June. Mariah's music always brings me joy and I've been listening to her a lot recently. After surviving a gruesome fall I feel the clouds are now lifting. I'm looking forward to the Glitter release although she needs to hurry up as I'm getting impatient. Whilst I have contributed as much on here this year I still love to come on daily and read people's posts, it's great to have this sense of community around the person we all love

Debut of the misstep (114,628) by Jamie from UK
Oh no I think it's perfect, MTV Unplugged is perfection and then followed my Music Box which in my eyes is the ultimate Mariah album was pure gold. The deep soulful vocals on both are a timeless quality that is hard to beat. People couldn't cope with her change on Butterfly so I think releasing Someone's Ugly Daughter at that point would have been career suicide.

I've been playing my Mariah MTV Unplugged album a lot during this Summer to Autumn transition. It accrued to me: did Sony do a massive misstep with releasing a raw and completely live album, followed with Music Box, her most glossy overly produced, slick, perfect by numbers album? I'm a dream world, what if she followed MYV Unplugged with Someone's Ugly Daughter?

Stolen fan artwork (114,626) by pipupass from China
It makes me really sad to see this. Mariah herself can't stand copying either (IDKH), but her team still treated a fan like this. I really hope they give this fan a public apology.

Stolen fan artwork (114,625) by Carlos from Brazil
So have you guys seen that Mariah's team is being accused of stealing a fan artwork and used it without permission? It was an illustration of the "Memoirs" album cover on a keychain. Funny part is that they didn't even use something from Glitter on the Glitter merch.
