Mary, the fairweather friend (113,706)
by AnKo from Germany
| |
|
|
I'm too many new messages behind. Sorry for that. Maybe I was overreacting. I don't know.
"Why she felt the need to descend from the beauty and elegance of Butterfly to the throwaway plastic Barbie look is beyond me."
"I believe that had she hung up her malfunctioning ear monitor after Butterfly and made no more albums, she would have been inducted years ago."
"MC lost elegance and individuality after she divorced Tommy. After the Butterfly album, MC lost that artistry and grace."
"Yet when it came to herself and her image, once Tommy was off the scene she had no idea how to conduct herself, but for the majority of the time she looked cheap."

Jesus I Do (113,701)

Congratulations to Mariah as "Jesus I do" moves to #4 on the Billboard gospel chart. A truly amazing accomplishment and song. I know a lot of people who like this song and want a gospel album.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,704)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
"Play This Song" is nice melodically, but the delivery just feels flat as flat can be. It kind of comes off a bit soulless to me, which is a shame because it had potential.
I don't know if Mariah realizes that an album without at least a little bit of that signature "Mariah" sprinkled in here and there just doesn't hit the same. She doesn't have to be belting all the time, but she had plenty of time, and a real chance, to lay down stronger vocals for HFIA, especially since a lot of those songs were recorded years ago.

Hark. The herold angel's sing from Hallmark special 2015 (113,703)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
One of my favorite Mariah performances. Her mic was on that night and she looked absolutely perfect. I miss this Mariah and this voice. I don't know if some parts were lipped because I couldn't really tell but she definitely was singing and sounded good in my opinion. Mariah was meant to sing gospel and Christmas. I know she's given us so much but I'm so bummed out we never got a gospel album.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,702)
by TheWind from England

It is a very well written, produced, mature album. Easily Mariah's best in some time for me. I enjoy the album a lot. I know people are critical of her voice, but we just have to accept her where she's at. I am not sure there is much she can do about it at this stage to be honest. I love the album though, and the vocal arrangements are superb as well. I would be happy for a follow up in the same vein. Felt new, but also like classic Mariah. I am very proud of her for that album.

HFIA felt like a return to that 90s vibe that made MC so successful. There were no guest rappers, only guest vocalists. The arrangements on the album are beautiful, mature, soulful, etc. The piano outro on NII sends chills down my spine every time. Such a powerful moment. The lyrics are her best IMO since Butterfly. That's why I'm so torn with HFIA. Her vocals can't keep up with the amazing arrangements and lyrics. I guess that's why I don't feel bad finding an AI version of some of these songs: My Love (Butterfly vocals), Jesus I Do (Music Box vocals), NII (Daydream vocals), HFIA (Daydream vocals). I listened to HFIA with Daydream vocals in my car and man, that is how that song needs to be sung, with those powerful vocals. I don't care if some thing that's a cop-out.

I agree, like you I very much enjoy HFIA and believe it's some of Mariah's best work but would be much more enjoyable if Mariah's voice sounded better. 2009 Mariah would have ate HFIA up easily and delivered better vocally. I'm still grateful Mariah gave us another album and I believe the next will be better or as good. Mariah is at the point in her life and career where she needs to discipline herself more for her voice. I truly hope she rests and takes things easier.

I love "Play That Song" too. I was hoping it would go big in the charts, but then it slipped my mind that it is no longer the 90s or 00s. If it were released in those eras, it could be a hit. It's the type of sound I would like to hear more of from her nowadays.

iTune prompts (113,698)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
| |
|
|
Why doesn't Mariah ever do a paid "iTunes" prompt. I always get promotes for Kayne West (who I can't stand and I've never understood why people think he's revolutionary, even "Stay the Night" is always the one skip for me on Emancipation, too much screaming) and for Taylor Swift? I don't own a piece of music from these artists, but iTunes still hustles their tunes to me. Why doesn't Mariah do that? I always have to seek out her music since MIAM. Is that intentional, or does she not have a team who understands the music industry in 2026, which seems obvious?

Yes, I agree Stacey. I would go so far as to say that in terms of the direction, musicality, originality, and everything else, HFIA has been as bold a step forward as Music Box to Daydream, Daydream to Butterfly, and CB to Emancipation. Yet, sadly, the voice isn't there to support what I think are some of the best songs she's written in decades. Jesus I Do recorded with Merry Christmas vocals? HFIA in the Butterfly tone? Nothing Is Impossible with the force of Glitter? The album would be her best ever.

Here For It All has that Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM vibe. It's just that the vocals don't match those earlier albums. I was listening to Play This Song on my way home from work yesterday, and that arrangement is brilliance. Maybe the melody and the song as whole isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the musicality is absolutely there 100%. That is why I'm so torn about HFIA.

I couldn't agree more. I thought I was the only one feeling this way, although the different Mariah for me begins after E=MC2. The disconnect, I mean. Perhaps her pop sound can still be heard from TEOM, Charmbracelet, and Glitter. They still have her 90s influence.
How I wish, in case her voice gets revived, she'll release an album that sounds like Music Box or Daydream, at least. And she could title it with Reminisce or Reminiscing (nice title track for a first single too), Back to Basics (although Christina Aguilera already used this title), Classic, Classic Sound, or Old School. Again, just wishing.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,682)
by Jamie from UK

This is the problem now, the negativity starts to over shadow the greatness. Most fans on here this past week have been honest and truthful about her current state and by some it's been seen as bashing. All we want for Mariah is for her to be remembered for how great she was, and to have the respect she so deserves. We are still fans, probably even more so than the yass queens because we truly care about Mariah and her legacy. I'm at the point now if she were to bow out and call it a day I'm cool with that. It doesn't mean I don't believe in her, I just don't want her to be ridiculed and ruin her legacy. I was listening to Dreamlover the other day whilst out on a walk, and I got a feeling of not being able to relate to that Mariah with the way she is at the moment, to me it's like she's lost her personality, and I can't match the two together. Whilst only a brief feeling it occurred to me that if I'm feeling like this as a super fan then the general public only see what they see now. To me there's always been two Mariah's pre and post breakdown that I've had difficulty matching up but at the moment she's neither of these which is even more difficult for me to process.

Good post. The issue I have is there is a whole generation now who only know her as this extravagant diva, who shuffles around like some aging silver screen actress in denial about her fading youth. They know her for a Christmas song that swings by every year, defrosting, and being a diva. They didn't see If It's Over on SNL. They didn't witness the Daydream tour (I attended London by the way). They didn't get swept up in Joy to the World at St John the Divine. They see her getting wheeled out every so often to lip sync, grumble about the bad lighting, have a pop at J.Lo, and then get carried away as the Butterfly outro plays.
The bad now outweighs the good.

If Mariah has no plans to retire and wants to be successful again and wants to get her voice back I think naming her next album The Revival Of Mariah Carey would truly be the best album title of her career and would make a statement. I thought when she released her memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey that it would have been an excellent album title. I wish Mariah would get a new circle of people/team. I would like her to rest more and work on her voice and come back with a new album in 2027 or 2028. I was so sad and angry at all the horrible comments I read on social media regarding her recent performance at T&Co. She was getting dragged left and right even commenting on her hair. She definitely has lost respect from the public and not just as of now, for awhile. Sadly she's seen as a joke to many as it's all about the glamour and less about her voice. I hope those of you who are religious can keep Mariah in your prayers and ask God to help and protect her. We already lost MJ and Whitney we cannot lose MC.
