We don't know him has his dominance too (106,391) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Justin's new album and tour has flopped. A No.19 Billboard 200 debut with poor concert ticket sales is not good for someone who had 3 best selling albums and tours 10 years ago.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,390) by Libra Lamb from USA
We've seen a bunch of these JLo hate videos recently too, they are making the rounds on social media and YouTube. I actually almost started to feel bad for her but then I remembered what she did to Mimi and I got over that real quick. I hate it for her but we reap what we sow and it's finally caught up to her. To quote MC "I still don't know her".

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,389) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
This video was so interesting to watch. I remember Ashanti being very open about singing JLo's songs, but wow is that laundry list long of who's sang for her. Also, the shady comments about amazing actresses, if Mariah ever said something like that she would never come back from that, and would get the boot from Hollywood circles. I think JLo believes the world was waiting for her and Ben to get back together, and it's honestly the last relationship rekindle anyone asked for or cares about.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,388) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
She released an album called "This is me... now" that debuted at #38 on Billboard 200 then disappearing the next week. [Then] she releases an visual album, a film with the songs from the album, then a documentary called "The greatest love story never told" about the making of this film, but also about Ben Affleck and her love story. This was meant to be JLo's magnum opus, where she finally would get recognition for her artistry. This has backfired so badly, [because] the film and the documentary are so cringe and bad, that everything JLo has ever done in her career is now coming up to the surface. This is happening on TikTok mostly, so I haven't realized it [either] before I started to see YouTube videos about it.

This is the last post [about] this from me, but the reason I share this here, is [because] Mariah is very much a part of all [these] YouTube videos, [because] she was maybe the most vocal about this over 20 years ago. Even if we don't want to admit it, JLo is a much more relevant person in the cultural canon today, having hundreds of millions of followers on different social media platforms. Mariah was one of the people who tried to tell the world about this stuff 20 years ago, and is now [considered] a hero in all this. The "I don't know her" has [suddenly] got much more meaning.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,387) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
Well, the [similarities] is that nobody [thought] Mariah would come back. Glitter tanking and Mariah being [bought] out of her contract was considered the nail in the coffin for Mariah's career back then. We only know today that it wasn't.

I think this is a certified last nail in the coffin for JLo's career, because all the stuff that is seeing the light of day is something you can't come back from. Us Lambs have always known this, but the general public hasn't. What is happening now is that the general public is getting to know [these] things, and when you understand that the artist you love doesn't even have their own vocals on their songs, much like Milli Vanilli, well, how can you as an artist defend that? It's impossible.

Made for me (106,385) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Y'all know already that I over think things way too much. I just can't help it. Listening to snippet that JD shared got me thinking that he was eluding to that MC wrote new lyrics for the second verse. The first verse is the best verse of MFM. A new second verse from MC would take MFM to a different level for a remix. And what if the Soul Train Awards show gospel choir is apart of the remix too? Oh, it is going to be sweet to hear MC on the radio again since we last heard her on BBE. Just my two cents before it drops.

Insider stuff (for laughs) (106,384) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
The MC x Ari tweet got me thinking what Mariah is up to. I don't know if she really found a partner to stream yet but I'm glad that there's still hope for TBL.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,383) by Zachariah from Croatia
Well it is hard not be catty when J.Lo is in involved. Her somewhat genuine career lasted right about that period, 1997-2001. Then she started stealing songs. Second rate "diva" who can't sustain.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,382) by Shezz from Pk
Although there are similarities, I don't think it is quite like Mariah's Glitter debacle. Mariah was still around her peak (tail end) and was only around 30 with a majority of her career ahead of her. JLo was at her lowest popularity/ commercial success point before this album. It's like a bad ending to her career since she said this was most likely her last album. A final nail on her coffin. I don't think anybody or even she herself are thinking about she should come back from this. I'm not a fan but not a hater. Whereas I didn't mind her being exposed (being a lamb) I hope she was at least pleased herself with her last project.

I don't know why I feel like Mariah is poised/ gearing up for another favourable era. I'd be happy if she cracks the top 20 on the Hot100 again with her own material (with or without a guest but not as a feature herself).

No, I don't think I do. I became a fan of Mariah in 1997, I remember everything from 2001 and onward very well. Nice of you to be catty, I appreciate it.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,379) by Jamie from UK
I haven't really been paying attention to this, as much as she's not the best singer I always thought of her as an all rounder. I used to love her films and always thought she was down to earth. What's going on for all this to be happening? What have I missed?

Muni Long remix (106,378) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Wow, Shezz. This is the best news this week. Somebody pick me off of the floor. Lol. She sounds so good Lambs. I am predicting that the remix is going to be on Muni Long's upcoming album.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,377) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
This is a really interesting video made by a very talented youtuber, it's over two hours long and a comprehensive dive into the downfall of Jennifer Lopez. The reason I share it is because Mariah is mentioned quite a bit, and in this JLo debacle, after her album, movie and the documentary about making of the movie have tanked worse than even Mariah's own vanity project, Glitter, Mariah is portraid as somewhat a hero. Mariah was right about JLo all along.

While Mariah managed to bounce back in 2005 with one of the biggest comebacks in music history, because Mariah actually has talent, I just can't se how JLo will come back from this, it's career ending stuff happening now. Everything has been exposed the last few weeks, that she steals other people's music, dosen't sing her own songs, everything her being from the "block" is fake, she might be the most rude and mean celebrity there is, there's just no authenticity, and everything is out there now. It's really fascinating to experience.

It's kinda cool and I love Mariah gets to join her on this song. And yes Muni also acknowledged that she wrote the song for Mariah, but Mariah insisted she record it for herself, since it was a career defining song and look at how that song has blown.

Insider stuff (for laughs) (106,375) by Shezz from Pk
The insider who claimed Mariah was doing a remix with Ariana before it was announced (amongst other stuff about it that didn't materialize) had said a month ago that Mariah was working on another remix. Turned out to be the Muni Long one. Here are another couple of interesting things they are claiming:

1. The Audible BFL session is a prelude. She's managed a contract with a streaming giant for the rest of it finally. In another post they said Vevo is teaming up with a great female artist for a special series of performances.

2. Mariah x Ariana (again). Not sure whether it's for BFL or MC16 (if true).

I think we have some interesting times ahead - 2 of which are confirmed, the Muni Long remix and the Audible session. I am sure there's more to come.

Robert Anthony wasn't it you who said "Made for me" should have been a Mariah song or something like that? Now we're getting a Mariah remix. You really wish things to life.

Made For Me remix featuring MC (106,373) by Brandon from USA
It’s confirmed on JD’s Instagram and Muni Longs instagram that MC is on the Made For Me remix. The snippet sounds so good. I always thought MC would sound great on this song and now I get to hear her. So excited.

Mariah has another confirmed remix on the way. Y'all have been wanting her to remake this song so she hopped on the remix. She sounds divine and I'm sure I'll enjoy it just sad it won't do much for her.

Did you all hear that Mariah is going to be on the Made for Me remix? I'm so excited. Jermaine just posted about it today. From the snippet I heard, Mariah sounds great. It's kinda ironic since that song was originally made for Mariah. Lol. I can't wait.

Article: Mariah Carey recalls feeling the need to "disappear" (106,370) by Robert-Anthony from United States
This is a very interesting article. I always felt Portrait was written about a certain troubling period in her life before Caution. It goes right along with With You being about Tanaka and A No No being about Stella.

New hobby (106,369) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

Article: Mariah Carey recalls feeling the need to "disappear" (106,368) by RJJ12 from USA
I feel like she wrote it during the Stella era after the New Year's Eve fiasco. After that situation of being exposed and her vocal talent/ability being questioned I would have wanted to disappear as well. Most people don't know she writes but everyone knows she's famous because of her insane vocal ability. Once her use of pre records got exposed, most people figured it was over for her. I love that we are finally getting more details behind the writing of these songs. It's good to start with Portrait as it's from her most recent album. She's perceived of having everything anyone could ever want. Yet, with all her blessings, she is only human and has had her failures and dark periods in her life. Starting with this song will help humanize her and help spread the word that she is the pen behind the lyrics to all these great songs.

So I'm confused, this episode is about "Portraits" only? But then she talks about TBL and it says she'll explore more songs. Someone break it down for me lol, I'm having a dumb brain day.
