About Zachariah from Croatia:

Taylor Swift (110,454) by Zachariah from Croatia How I wish that chart-showdown we're fantasizing about would actually happen just so that we can shut your mouth. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 08:32) this is a reply to message 110,441

Taylor Swift (110,441) by Edward from USA Bobby A, sometimes I think you live in an alternate universe. Mariah isn't competing with anyone with "Here For It All". She's a legacy artist now, her last 11-track album came out nearly a decade ago. It's more like when Streisand or other legacy artists release something: their core fans eat it up, but that's about it. Back in the '90s, when Mariah and Whitney were killing it, did you really think any legacy artist from that time could compete with them? Exactly. So let's not pretend we're still in that era where a new Mariah release is a head-to-head chart battle. This is a completely different stage of her career. Here's what will likely happen: the album drops, us Lambs grab it immediately, and within three or four weeks, it's gone from the Billboard Top 100 albums. Mariah's waited too long, and outside of us devoted fans, most people have moved on. That's not pessimism, just a dose of realism. Which is why I'm hoping it's a great album, one that earns solid reviews and a few well-deserved accolades. In short, that chart-showdown you're fantasizing about? It's not going to happen.

Great music (110,437) by Zachariah from Croatia I second that. I will get a cd player from my coworkers for my birthday just to play Mariah's albums. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 11:09) this is a reply to message 110,435

Great music (110,435) by Stacey from USA I am really trying not to listen to snippets from MC's upcoming album, leaked or not. Call me old school, but I still enjoy unpacking a new MC CD, opening up and browsing through the liner notes while the music plays. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 07:01)

Reminder to vote VMA's (110,367) by Zachariah from Croatia Already done. Come on guys, let's make it happen. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 15:14) this is a reply to message 110,366

Reminder to vote VMA's (110,366) by T from USA You can only cast ten votes per category now so Mariah's [Type Dangerous] is going to need all the lambs' help she can get. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 14:52)

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,358) by Zachariah from Croatia Regarding how is it doing overseas - it doesn't. Middle and Eastern Europe general public still think that worth of mentioning is only one song and that is All I Want For Christmas Is You and they think that she only has that one as a hit. Of course, Europe Lambs are not included here. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 18:04) this is a reply to message 110,351

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,351) by Randy from USA I've been really busy lately but I've been reading comments in the background. I feel as tho Mariah and Gamma made a big gamble with all this promotion and putting out these two singles. They're not bad lead singles like You're Mine Eternal. It's just that they're not undeniable hits like Touch My Body, You Don't Know What To Do (could've been). Neither of these said hit on first listen to me. They're cute songs but not comeback material. And now they may be heading for a flop. Caution debuted at #5 and at the rate this train is going I don't even see that. They have three options. 1. Release something fire, enough of this muddled opaque blah music. But that will mean we have heard a quarter of the album. And I'll be pissed if that Barbara [sic] track makes the album. 2. Push the album back which will piss the hardcore fans off. 3. Release the album now and see how people feel about it and maybe do a re-release if it flops and this time release something fire that's undeniable to the ear. This roll out is horrible because it's almost as if they believed one of those songs was a hit and would carry interest all the way to 9/26. Did they not take the MIAMTEC singles and Caution singles and their chart performance into consideration? Oh and I'm curious to know how Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet are doing overseas. Artists always complain Americans are fickle. How's her Japanese fans reacting to the music? (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 13:46)

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,344) by Zachariah from Croatia Oh wow, that's amazing. Thanks for the link. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 07:42) this is a reply to message 110,341

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,341) by T from USA Mariah is up for best R&B song category for Type Dangerous. Her first nomination since 2008.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,322) by Zachariah from Croatia Of course you weren't. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:42) this is a reply to message 110,317

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,317) by Dove from United States For sure she had her breasts done. If you look at pictures from 20 years ago and today, there is no way her body would change that drastically with only diet and exercise. I wasn't shaming. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:54)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,321) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't see nothing Asian in her face. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:42) this is a reply to message 110,319

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,319) by TJ from Norway If you're not blind, you can see it around her eyes. She got a hint of Asian now. She didn't have that in the early 90's. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:10)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,320) by Zachariah from Croatia No, I am not being sarcastic or ignorant. From what I can see, breast are propocional to her weight. She is not super skinny when she was 20 but she looks super feminine and healthy, real curvy body. And yes, I don't see any changes in face in terms looking like as a cat lady or those sucked in cheeks like Demi Moore suddenly has. So yes, I don't see that.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,316) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't know if you're being sarcastic or ignorant. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:53)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,315) by Zachariah from Croatia How do you know that she had work done? Because, for example, I can (like others as well) see that Demi indeed had work done. With Mariah - I can't see that. Please explain. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:49) this is a reply to message 110,314

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,314) by Dove from United States I was thinking about Mariah Carey and how she still looks really young. I'm approaching that age where women start "needing" to get injectables and I'm trying to decide what kind of woman I'm going to be. Then I started thinking about famous women who are choosing to age naturally. I saw some pictures of Pamela Anderson and I thought she was still really beautiful. Drew Barrymore, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Silverstone. They're all still really beautiful. Then I thought, "They're lying to us, we don't need that stuff." Then I thought about Demi Moore and Mariah Carey who have had work done and they're really beautiful too, just in a different way. I think a big reason to want to look younger is if you're trying to attract a younger man. I feel like someone would still be attracted to an older woman who looks her age, though. Do all men prefer younger women? Pamela Anderson still got a man and he seems to really like her. I've always been okay with lasers and chemical peels but injectables kind of scare me because if they're not done right they can make a person look worse. I'm glad Mariah is looking her best for this era but it must be so much pressure. I wouldn't mind if she started aging after this era. Not that my opinion matters but I was thinking about how people notice famous people's (and everyone's) appearance. I think a person's personality has a lot to do with their beauty too. There are some celebrities (and regular people) who are so ugly on the inside that nothing could make them beautiful no matter how they look on the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 14:55)

Pride and inner peace (110,309) by Zachariah from Croatia She holds a significant place in the hearts of many within the LGBTQ+ community - not just as a pop icon, but as a symbol of resilience, self-expression, and empowerment. As a straight man, I could not relate to that aspect but as a child of war, being tortured and held captive along with my parents back in early 90's in the Balkans, her lyrics and her music was a saving grace under a blanket in a shelter while bombs were falling around us. I think that's why I love Butterfly album more than any because it was the first album released after the war that I could enjoy in freedom. I am watching the Hero performance and my tears are just falling down my face. Such a beautiful moment. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 19:29)

Sugar Sweet (110,223) by Zachariah from Croatia I am not so surprised. The song is good but she should have released it by her self and not with two features in a song. Video should have been already out and not with a delay. And the last, it should have been released as a third single. Type Dangerous is epic comparing to this and the single after should have been an extension of it but with a more powerful beat. Caution was also missing the song with a strong powerful beat. A No No was close but then, not quite. So, if I was on her team or whoever is dealing with her now - release the SS alone, video out now, and next single should be a ballad but ballad that will stop the world in their feet and be amazed. Otherwise, this album is going to be missed from the horizon. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 17:29) this is a reply to message 110,220

Sugar Sweet (110,220) by BFF from United States I am a little surprised by the performance of "Sugar Sweet" in comparison to "Type Dangerous". I prefer "Type Dangerous", but "Sugar Sweet" seemed like something that would have more mass appeal. "Type Dangerous" seemed to do relatively well with radio airplay initially, but I guess that doesn't really count for much these days? (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 15:28)

Sugar Sweet (110,214) by Zachariah from Croatia That was my thought when E=MC2 came out and Migrate not being released as a single. I am still mad about it to this day. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 08:01) this is a reply to message 110,213

Sugar Sweet (110,213) by Bobby A from United States I listened to Honey yesterday and wondered why a song like Honey wasn't released as 1st single or 2nd single. I know it may be difficult for MC to sing high and low notes with riffs and runs with ease now, but there are ways around it with letting the beat of a song standout more letting her voice "ride along to the beat". Songs like Take Your Time by the SOS Band and Call Me by Sky are examples of female singers letting their voices "ride along to the beat". I remember hearing these two songs on the radio growing up and instantly was hooked by the female singer's voice on top of the beat. Here is Sky's Call Me. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 01:19)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,204) by Terna from Nigeria Exactly, and it makes sense, who stays the same even in just one year? That's why I responded to you. The intent behind one's messages here is always discernible whether good or bad even if disguised as "love" or "concern". (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 19:57)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,193) by Zachariah from Croatia And I just responded to a message where she was being slammed for not staying the same. I just realized; am I the OG that everyone is being mad at? (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 110,178

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,178) by Terna from Nigeria Getting uncomfortable I see. Lol. I wasn't the one who insinuated or brought it up, I just responded to his message and acknowledged he got that part, he's black too as he stated and gets it. "Butterfly" never did the numbers "Music Box" and "Daydream" did for that one fact. It is an R&B/HipHop album. Facts. But look at how highly rated that album is in contemporary music today. It is also her "Magnum Opus", she achieved her best work, being her authentic true self. I haven't "crowned" myself poison or anything negative here, as you put it, I'm not the one spitting vitriol out at Mariah here masked as "OG Love", from the OG Coven. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 11:47)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,101) by Zachariah from Croatia Hm, let's put it down like this; go back 30 years (this is for lambs who are following Mariah from day one) and try to remember yourself back then. Done? Ok. Now see yourself today. Somehow I doubt that you all are the same person. Because I am not. I was gullible, shy, very introverted, afraid to say something and just followed others. Today, I am unrecognizable. She is still a nice person and our Mariah - who gets her, gets her. Who doesn't, doesn't. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 00:19) this is a reply to message 110,090

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,090) by MusicfanJ from Germany Jamie, Edward I absolutely feel the same about Mariah. It's good to know some longtime fans also miss the authentic, lovely Mariah. I miss the natural Mariah. "She was sexy without even trying, and that voice was just next level. That combo is what made her so special." So true, that was something beside her voice that made her so unique, so loveable and even relateable. For me this will always be the real Mariah. Of course we all change a bit with age, but most people stay indeed the same just wiser and older with luck. I do wonder what made her change so much too? Sometimes it feels like she hides the humble Mariah inside. I understand it can be a shield or something but it must be more than that. The "Joy to the world video" is one of my favourites. Not because it's so good, no story I know, but just seeing an already global superstar, having so much fun, looking so carefree, a diva but with a big heart and humour, Mariah was never more beautiful, more adorable than when she's "not trying".

Here For It All (110,027) by Zachariah from Croatia Glitter is a no skip album for me. From top do bottom. Adore that album. Rainbow as well. Butterfly is a whole another level. TEOM is good from number 1 until 7, then I just skip to 14, 15, 16, 17 (de luxe edition). (Friday 25 July 2025; 08:17) this is a reply to message 110,009

Here For It All (110,009) by Bobby A from United States I understand better today the reason why just 11 tracks because of the hype statement on Record Store Day's website. The hype statement says: "Here For It All is Mariah Carey's new forthcoming project with Gamma. This album marks the start of a bold new era for Mariah. It balances her legacy with fresh cultural relevance and pop significance." MC hasn't had an album you can listen to without any skips since Butterfly. Here For It All is going to be that no skips album. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 17:13)

Image over substance (109,987) by Zachariah from Croatia I have an issue with your statement regarding her looks. If anyone of the celebrities that I see, she looks more natural than any of them. I can't see lip injections, filers or whatever women torture them self with these days (Kardashians reference). If she did had job done, she has done it pretty damn good because she looks normal and not like a cat in heat. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 10:52) this is a reply to message 109,984

Image over substance (109,984) by TJ from Norway I agree with all you said. As you said about the walls, I think she spend too much time listening to her old music and that doesn't give her new ideas or inspiration. As Cher said when the interviewer asked her about listening to her own music, she was like "No, I'm not a big Cher fan." I have got the impression that MC is a big Mariah Carey fan. She obviously hate aging, and I believe she is obsessed about looking perfect at all time, also on stage (look at her performances in 1990-91 and compare the facial expressions then and now/or the early 2000). Some people call her a vampire because it looks like she's not aging, I would love if she didn't put all that poison in her face and rather aged naturally with grace and style. It's too much plastic now. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 09:32)

Covers (109,983) by Zachariah from Croatia I like all three covers because I can see the connection of previous photos of her - first one has written Glitter all over, third one reminds me of a photo shoot she did when she had lace cover over her face and the second one reminds me from a photo shot back in Butterfly era when she is sitting on couch with wavy hair and touching her toes. Regarding the shady, bitter and bad vibes here - what do I know, I don´t even go here. And I had to google and ask my daughter what the hell does that mean. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 08:01)

Physical copy (109,926) by Jamie from UK Do we think the physical copy will be available in the UK too? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 17:26)

Physical copy or... (109,912) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, am I weird for buying a physical copy although I don't have anywhere to play it (car is brand new with no cd player and at home, I don't have any cd players)? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:38)

Here For It All (109,888) by Zachariah from Croatia I can totally see the Glitter connection. If it was pink, it would be even more obvious. (Monday 21 July 2025; 20:10) this is a reply to message 109,876

Here For It All (109,876) by BFF from United States I like the title. Hopefully the 9/26 release date doesn't make the album conflict too much with whatever Mariah has planned for the holiday season. I remember "Caution" being released in mid-November 2018, which may have contributed a bit to its low performance. I like the album cover, the pose reminds me a bit of the "Glitter" album cover except with eyes open. (Monday 21 July 2025; 16:36)

Article: Mariah Carey announces new album "Here For It All" (109,883) by Zachariah from Croatia I love the tittle, simple but firm and with the statement. Super excited. (Monday 21 July 2025; 18:05)
