New single release tonight at midnight: Volare/Nothing Is Impossible (Live) (113,470) by Lighty from China

The orchestral version of Nothing is Impossible is so much better than the original version. Feels like Mariah wants to prove to us she's still got it.

Olympic performance (113,469) by Lainsky from Philippines

Perhaps the release is to coincide with her celebration. It's the 27th. Happy Anniversary, Mariah Carey. I'm just glad we were born in the same month, but I'm only 24 days ahead and eight years later.

Olympic performance (113,467) by Jamie from UK

So the audio of the Olympic performance is being released tonight. Really don't see the point in this at all, I'd rather she releases an actual single and decent video.

Article: Eamonn Holmes stormed out of a Mariah Carey interview (113,465) by Lainsky from Philippines

Whoa. If this is true, she might be having one of her mental health episodes. And the behavior appears to be disappointing and quite disrespectful. But of course, we don't know the whole story. It's just that news like this could taint her image, which also could lead to a lot of negative impressions or assumptions.

Exactly. Same with the HFIA situation. Seven years of teasing is just too long.

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,463) by Stacey from USA

I'm a real fan and would like to hear it one day, but I'm not waiting with baited breath either. My point is she had a real chance to include it by surprise coinciding with Daydream's 30th anniversary as a 2 or 3 CD set, much like she did with Music Box 30th anniversary. The rumors of SUD have been floating around for years and to release something without any warning would landed stronger than just releasing it by itself. The moment has deflated. It's almost a who cares moment and this point.

Mariah needs someone like you on her team. I like your thinking and yes I definitely want another Christmas album.

Yes to everything you posted. I wish you were a part of Mariah's team or circle so you could give her all your ideas and suggestions. I have been wanting Mariah to work with Pharell again.

1. Do the vocal surgery. Even if it means losing her high pitches, I really don't care. Talent can not be surgically removed and she can sing in a different voice.
2. Release SUD. Hard. With rejuvenated self. With a new voice.
3. Tone down the diva attitude and connect with every day people.
4. New Christmas hit with rock vibes.

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,459) by Bobby A from United States

I was thinking today after hearing T.I.'s Let 'Em Know that MC needs to get back into the studio with Pharrell this year. I know he can give MC a fresh beat that could make Hot 100 radio play MC again.

1. MC's needs another DJ Mustard collaboration.
2. I would love another collaboration with Ariana Grande produced by Nova Wav.
3. Where is our long overdue JD collaboration? It could be the song that becomes her 20th #1 song easily with a Chris Brown and Justin Beiber feature.
4. MC needs a movie theme song next year.

2012 Mariah on GMA talking about Whitney and healthcare (113,458) by Giovanni from USA

I wish Mariah would go back to this look for 2026. I like the hair short and I love the style of dress. It reminds me of the dress she's wearing on the back cover of the debut album. Also you can hear how younger and clearer her talking voice was compared to now. Some of her best looks and moments were from 2012 and 2013.

No one cares about SUD except us real fans. So it doesn't really matter when or will she ever release it. For me if she does, it'll be a nice treat. If she doesn't, it won't hurt.

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,456) by Stacey from USA

She missed her chance to really shock us with Someone's Ugly Daughter. She should have included that with Daydream's 30th release out of nowhere. Oh wait, we didn't get a 30th anniversary release of Daydream. How cool would that have been by dropping the album unannounced as part of Daydream's anniversary (much like she did with Music Box), then appeared on Fallon like she did with everyone already having the album. Yeah, I'm curious to hear it but the balloon has been deflated. I'm indifferent at this point. Thoughts?

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,455) by Shezz from Pk

1. No more tours or "live" performances (festivals or otherwise) until the end of the year. She should work on getting her voice back to at least Caution era (being realistic here).

2. December she can do a little Christmas tour or residency (stateside or Europe like she's been thinking about). Muster up all her Christmas spirit that she can and look like she's happy to be up on stage to perform. At least back to 50-60% live vocals. She has all year to gear up.

3. Work on new music but focus on releasing only 2 or 3 max collaborations with high profile artists only. She needs to be heard and she's happier when she's heard. The only way that's happening and that she pulls good streams is by being featured with heavily streamed artists. Not to get chart success (why not if it comes) but to increase her listeners. They should not be remixes at all - only original collaborations with the likes of Sza and Rihanna who love and respect her and would be happy to have her. Get featured on their upcoming albums. No solo songs that have no home and will go nowhere.

4. Release Someone's Ugly Daughter finally if she must but with some features. As much as I'd love it, I don't think too many people are holding their breath for this one and are already over it. She obviously is having some issues with it but it's becoming another "500 hours at beauty school" now.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,453) by MusicfanJ from Germany

"All you have to do is watch the Mariah's World series to see a glimpse of the erratic behavior." That's why I wasn't able to watch the "show" back then. I tried but after a few minutes I had to quit because it felt strange and not worthy to watch. What you described sounds indeed terrible. That was really a bad dark time. I think Nick Cannon was the reason everything went down. After him she was never the same. And Stella was the final straw. What a nightmare. During Charmbracelet Mariah seemed down-to earth again, still struggling and healing but on a good way. I hope she takes care of herself and stays away from the wrong people. At a certain age one should become wiser and never interact with trash people again. I really hope Mariah has one or two people who are normal and are not on the payroll and care for her. I want to see a happy Mariah again.

I still Believe / Pure Imagination Live Performance (113,452) by Lainsky from Philippines

Thank you for sharing. I Still Believe is one of my top favorite Mariah cover songs, including its remix. Or my top favorite remake of hers. Let me reflect on that and post my list later.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,451) by TheButterflyReturns from United States

Perspectives or information that reflect poorly on Mariah are not ipso facto "misinformation". Mariah's not perfect, and we should not pretend that she is. Celebrities and public figures work painstakingly to project an image of perfection or to paint themselves as victims when something reflects poorly on them, but critical consumers of media should always be skeptical of this.

Stella and company should not have brought those lawsuits, but Mariah put herself in compromising positions and was behaving very erratically in 2016. She seemed to be having some sort of manic episode. I love Mariah's music and care about her wellbeing, but she has to take proper care of herself if she has a condition like bipolar disorder.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,450) by TheButterflyReturns from United States

Mariah disclosed the bipolar diagnosis because she, unfortunately, chose to hire and work with Stella and displayed really erratic behavior in front of the wrong people (aka Stella and company). Stella was wrong to weaponize mental illness, but based on what happened in 2001 and seeing the footage from the reality show, I definitely think there is some truth to what she said. Mariah's assistant from that period, Lianna, also confirmed it.

All you have to do is watch the "Mariah's World" series to see a glimpse of the erratic behavior and substance use - she and others were on camera with cannabis use, which is known to exacerbate existing psychiatric disorders. She had staff members taking semi-nude and nude photographs of her to send to Bryan Tanaka... while she was still engaged to James Packer. Mariah was an absolute mess during that period.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,449) by Nikki from usa

Her bipolar disorder didn't cause her breakdown and she didn't have an incident or hospitalizations in 2016. She told the public because Stella was trying to blackmail her and threatened to make her sound crazy. She was already telling the press that Mariah was expecting to see Michael Jackson come to dinner. That is not a feature of BiPolar disorder. You guys need to stop making things up and spreading misinformation as a pastime. It's awful of Stella to weaponize mental health and worse when the fans do it. Mariah has been clear about being tired and wanting a break from touring.

Article: Mariah says accuser must pay $1M bill from "absurd" lawsuit (113,448) by Nikki from usa

Yes. There are no similarities to the songs - they're Christmas songs and fall under that motif. Any similarities are very generic, not song specific. No, I don't think Mariah was inspired by this song - she was inspired by the 60's from the song structure to Specter's style. Even so, it's not a copy. This is very obviously a money grab - he didn't care about Mariah's track for over 20 years. I'm glad Mariah finally fought back for once.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,447) by Jamie from UK

Yes I agree the bipolar meds are needed. She is likely hooked on something else like anti anxiety meds or opioids. And all this mixed with alcohol isn't great.

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,446) by TheButterflyReturns from United States

I disagree with the "ditch the bipolar meds" suggestion. Mariah has bipolar disorder and has been hospitalized at least twice because of it (once in 2001 and once in 2016 which prompted the disclosure of the Bipolar diagnosis). People living with bipolar disorder really have to stay on the medications in order to remain stable, or they have to make substantial lifestyle changes.

Cutting out alcohol, cutting out other recreational drugs (i.e. cannabis), developing better sleep hygiene, healthy eating, regular exercise, working with a vocal couch, etc. would likely offset any vocal issues caused by medications. Mariah seemed pretty disciplined during the Charmbracelet World Tour, so we know she is capable of pulling it together while using bipolar medications. At that point, she was in good shape physically, the pre-recording use was minimal, and she seemed to be taking good care of herself.

My worry is that Mariah may have gotten hooked on opioids or other prescription medications after injuring herself during the 2013 "#Beautiful" remix music video shoot. As much I disliked Stella's impact on Mariah's career, I do wonder about her claims that Mariah has a substance abuse problem.
