About Shezz from Pk: L4L

Lucky Daye (106,849) by Shezz from Pk I hadn't heard of him before. Nice. I think MC has recorded a lot of different styles of music in the last few years from contemporary rnb to pop to dance and disco. It'll be interesting to see if she ends up with a varied album or commits to one particular style. Rumours are that Ariana has put her in touch with Max Martin and they have also recorded. I hope we get an original song this year, even if the album is released next year. It's funny how Christmas is her most popular time but also restricts her for a few months.

Lucky Daye (106,847) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Lucky Daye could be that one collaborator MC needs to bring MC16 closer to being finished? This man is a brilliant artist in the way he crafts his songs. His latest album, Algorithm, is a masterpiece. Take a listen to Soft, Mary, and this interview. (Monday 8 July 2024; 22:47)

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,843) by Shezz from Pk I agree. Mariah and Celine are two very very different people. Mariah is way too guarded and very insecure to let go of her armour. Celine is a performer, that is her essence. Mariah is a creator. Yes it would make her more relatable perhaps to some but she will never open herself up to the ridicule and public shaming that will come with it. I think she deals with enough already. Celine is hungry to be the people's princess. Mariah is not. She is fine doing what she's doing. She doesn't want to sell out stadiums anymore like she did in the 90s. She's happy with theaters and the exponential success she gets during Christmas in between. As far as I know, Celine never said she turned to partial lipping to deal with her issues. She just said she could not sing as well. Those are two very different things. Randy, as beautiful as it may be, I think it's too late for Mariah to learn an instrument. It's clearly never been a priority for her. People still fill up her concerts, good for her and good for the people who enjoy it. I still have high hopes for MC16. I don't think she will suddenly change her style and start making Barbera [sic] Streisand like music. She will make the music that she enjoys. I hope it's something we will all love.

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,842) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC's facade (the jokes, the rambling during interviews, and her childhood trauma) that she has built and uses to cope, is going to make it hard to drop her diva antics. It is her shtick now after of these years. (Friday 5 July 2024; 20:03)

Residency returns (106,827) by Shezz from Pk I think she'll keep the structure/setlist for the show the same. She's too busy recording her album to record new playbacks for new songs. I'd like her to experiment more with more avant-garde outfits, have more energy (though I don't expect Runriah to return) and sing more. (Wednesday 3 July 2024; 17:37) this is a reply to message 106,825

Residency returns (106,825) by Brandon from USA When MC's residency returns, what would [you] like to see different? New ensembles? New set list with different songs? New stage design and graphics? Less lip syncing lol. Or nothing at all. How do [you] guys feel? I'm interested to hear everyone's view and constructive criticism. (Wednesday 3 July 2024; 14:56)

Vacation everyone? (106,826) by Shezz from Pk B&B is still running? I last watched it when Stephanie was dying and Brook had become her bff. When do you think Mariah is going to drop the first single Robert Anthony? I think she's quite into this album now and won't want to put it on the back burner until after Christmas. I have a feeling we might get something in August post second leg of Vegas. (Wednesday 3 July 2024; 17:32) this is a reply to message 106,823

Vacation everyone? (106,823) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have never seen the board so quiet before for two weeks in a row. Is everyone on vacation or just watching The Bold and the Beautiful summer mystery arc? I am sure we are going to find out who killed Tom before anything new happens with MC. Lol. (Wednesday 3 July 2024; 00:45)

New remixes (106,813) by Shezz from Pk The "Remixes era" has been pretty good. I can't wait for the main course. The time that she's taken, I feel she's cooked us quite a feast. (Friday 28 June 2024; 18:37) this is a reply to message 106,812

New remixes (106,812) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, they are all great. Perfect for the hot summer. "Made for me" grew on me too. Classic RnB at its best. The Rainbow remix is on fire. (Friday 28 June 2024; 10:36)

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,794) by Shezz from Pk The way Taylor Swift is going, her momentum and her die hard fan base (that buys half a dozen version of her albums and singles with the slightest variations) she seems to be a hot contender to take over MC's number 1s tally (now at 12). With the chart rules as they are now, it is not as important for the entire general audience to love a song for it to go to number 1. Swifties alone are enough to make her new songs debut at n1 - which used to be such a big feat in the 90s - case in point Fortnight. It's not a great song. 3-4 more albums and she will sadly cross MC's tally and she churns out an album a year.MC's number 1s are a great accomplishment no matter who finds them forgettable and who finds them memorable. I hope she gets to keep it. She loves the title and as a long time fan I love it too. Previously Rihanna was hot on her heels but then she decided to go an extended hiatus.

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,788) by Libra Lamb from USA For arguments sake, which of these "new girls" is a true contender for 20 number 1 hits? Since it's such a possibility there should be at least several answers. I'll wait. Don't you guys think that if it was that easy to obtain it, everyone would have multiple number 1 hits? At least use a possible real life situation if you're going to start an argument. I'm sorry but you're coming across as painfully young and naive. Furthermore, I am not here to defend my loyalty and love for the one and only Mariah Carey to you or anyone else. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. There's some posts I scroll right on by when I see the name. I don't stop to ask dumb questions. All dumb questions will be met with stupid answers. I guarantee it. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 04:44)

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,772) by Shezz from Pk Yes she would have sounded so good on this remix indeed. I think Ariana's team learned from their previous mistake and released it soon. Is it the exact same though or are there different lyrics/verses? (Saturday 22 June 2024; 15:48) this is a reply to message 106,770

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,770) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The remix was such a a good one. I didn't expect Mariah to be on a second remix on the same album ofcourse but I wish instead of YAR, she was on this one. She also released the remix for this so soon after the OG, whereas YAR had a gap. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 06:01)

Album coming soon? (106,758) by Shezz from Pk That picture looks like her Victoria Secret shoot from last Christmas. They’re just saying what Mariah said herself. Album coming soon. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 20:10) this is a reply to message 106,757

Album coming soon? (106,757) by Randy from USA I was scrolling [through] Facebook. A page called Popwave had a post that stated Mariah Carey's album is coming soon. However, there's no article or anything. It is a picture I've never seen before. Anyone wanna tell me is that clickbait? (Thursday 20 June 2024; 18:34)

Tiny Desk (106,756) by Shezz from Pk I think that is C's well informed opinion based on the last few years' live performances. She would have nothing here to fall back on, no backing tracks, no play backs and if the last couple of years have showed us anything it's that MC won't perform without them. Although I 100 percent believe she is capable of giving us a great Tiny Desk performance similar to what she did with Jimmy Fallon for AIWFCIY and the piano impromptu performance. I don't think she's not in good voice, she has lost the confidence in herself and her voice even though she has shown us flashes of it from time to time. Maybe she feels she can't do it at a stretch. It's still a mystery what happens to her during live performances. Maybe it's the perfectionist in her that doesn't want her audience to hear anything off. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 18:08) this is a reply to message 106,755

Tiny Desk (106,755) by Brandon from USA @C, why do you say no that MC shouldn't do the Tiny Desk? (Thursday 20 June 2024; 15:39)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,737) by Shezz from Pk The insider account on X. Though of course it cannot be taken as concrete verified information. Most of the things they have said have been right so far. MC seems to be in a similar space she was during The Art of Letting Go and MIAM era. Revisiting her ideas and concept over and over. I hope she does not over think and lose the spark of spontaneity. She probably has 3 albums worth of material ready by now. So curious to hear her talk about this album and its process when it's finally done. Robert Anthony - What you seek is seeking you. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 04:52) this is a reply to message 106,735

Spring or fall album release preference (106,735) by Tevin from USA Where did you get the intel about Rarities 2? I hope that comes to fruition. (Monday 17 June 2024; 23:07)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,729) by Shezz from Pk Yeah I think unless she releases the first single in August, she will push it to early next year. Apparently the nameless producer she was in the studio with all week is not Anderson Paak, although she has recorded stuff with him as well. Insider hinted that it might have been Bruno Mars. I think you've been wanting her to work with him as well right? Apparently Rareties 2 is also to be released this year. If she's still working on MC16, she probably plans to release Rareties 2 later this year to keep us going till MC16. I am not sure if MC30 will be a very big thing. She already did MC25. I don't think she celebrates 25 and 30. 30s only of those whose 25 she missed. Let's see what MC has planned. (Monday 17 June 2024; 09:15) this is a reply to message 106,728

Spring or fall album release preference (106,728) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was just thinking today that MC's album releases in the spring tend to do better for strong first week sales and promotion is executed 100% for maximum sales. I am hoping the new album is given like an April 2025 release date. She is probably has something planned for the 30th anniversary for Merry Christmas like an anniversary editon and Christmas shows. January-March 2025 would give her time to release the first single and promote it properly. (Monday 17 June 2024; 02:09)

New Vogue article (106,706) by Shezz from Pk Sorry Eric if you've already put up this article - it wasn't up at the time of this message. So the Lauryn Hill song was never really a thing but MC16 is coming soon. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 16:56)

Danceriah appreciation post (106,580) by Shezz from Pk This afternoon I was listening to the Portrait remix again (which has really grown on me, it really is a masterpiece) and it led me to revisit her other dance tracks (remixes) totally oblivious to the fact that Pride month has just started. Of course then I stumbled onto Spotify Pride lists and of course Mariah's impressive collection of house music was nowhere to be found. It wasn't that they were featuring younger artists only, there was plenty of Madonna. Only Mariah track on the list was Fantasy right at the end. So sad that her incredible house mixes haven't reached the masses. Spotify needs to up their game. Happy Pride month everybody. I can't wait for the Rainbow remix now. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 14:47)

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,559) by Shezz from Pk Robert Anthony, I'm pretty sure I read Mariah confirmed the full Rainbow remix in one of her recent interviews. It's part of Rainbow25. David Morales himself confirmed it as well. Ah I'm sorry I misunderstood your message RA. You were not wondering if there is a finished Rainbow remix, you were wondering if it will be released in the coming weeks as opposed to in November for its anniversary. (Tuesday 28 May 2024; 16:49) this is a reply to message 106,558

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,558) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have a strong feeling that the finished Rainbow song is going to be released in late June to celebrate Pride month. Something also tells me that there may be a Rainbow EP to go along with her usually Pride merchandise in her store in June. MC said during a recent interview with RetroPop's Connor Gotto that other things are coming as well to go along with Rainbow and she is looking into whether Angels Advocate can finally be released. Let's keep our fingers crossed because I have been saying all year something big is going to be dropped in her store this year. The interviewer Connor Gotto has to be a Lamb. Only a Lamb would ask MC about Angels Advocate. Lol. (Tuesday 28 May 2024; 05:36)

Portrait remixes (106,516) by Shezz from Pk I don't think they were painful at all. Pleasant but not amazing like the 90s house remixes of course. I don't think it's because of her voice, more to do with the song. Thankfully I don't hear the screeching and scratching that other people seem to. A nice addition to her remixes era. When did she release her last original song? Was it "Save the day"? (Friday 24 May 2024; 15:36) this is a reply to message 106,508

Portrait remixes (106,508) by Robert-Anthony from United States Her vocal state has been confirmed that it is irreversible and probably won't improve anymore. MC seems to be okay with it. I am okay with it too, but it is very painful to listen to the Portrait remixes. Where does she go from here? I say just finish recording MC16 with some technology magic and release it to the world to enjoy one more Mariah Carey album. (Friday 24 May 2024; 09:19)

The remix (106,491) by Shezz from Pk I don't think the song is bad at all Robert Anthony. I think the problem people are having is that it is nothing really new or fresh - it is the same mid tempo/slow RnB that she and JD have done to death. If rumours are to be believed, MC16 will have a different sound - more pop and dance focused which will be good for her to get back into mainstream audiences. The 'Yes, And' remix, had it been the original song it would have surely topped the charts with Ariana's first single pull and with the lambs also being onboard. Adding Mariahisms to older songs on their way out is what people are more against, I feel. I appreciate the fact that Ariana wanted Mariah's voice front and center even though it didn't work out as well as it should have. Shows the love and respect she has for 'mother' as she put it. Lets see if the new rumour about their next collaboration is true. It's supposed to be an original, not a remix. It may be for Ariana's deluxe edition that she is working on or maybe MC16 (one can dream). Funny that you mentioned "Lose Control". I had it on as I was reading your post. That'd be a great direction for her. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 13:28) this is a reply to message 106,488

The remix (106,488) by Robert-Anthony from United States I don't know why there are so many thumbs down for the remix. Now I hear that her whistle register has lost its shine too. Maybe I really want this remix to be the one to put MC back on the Hot 100 and I am not hearing what the rest of you all are hearing. MFM is currently sitting at number #1 on the R&B iTunes chart. I have an great idea. Lets have MC jump on a remix of Teddy Swims' Lose Control. Both of their voices would blend so perfectly together on this rising R&B hit. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 03:49)

Unnecessary (106,489) by Shezz from Pk I agree. I think she sounds pretty alright. I don't think she's expecting much from it, it's just in support of JD and Muni. She's barely even mentioned it before or after release. I do believe she elevates the song. Was it needed? Not really. It's not her first single from her new album, it wasn't hyped up to be anything either. It is what it is. I am looking forward to what she cooked up with Solange if they (hopefully) did infact work together. Next whatever we get, whenever - will be original MC16 material. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 04:23) this is a reply to message 106,486

Unnecessary (106,486) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC sounds really good listening on MFM with headphones on. I can tell that her voice is 75% better than last year. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 01:37)

Muni and Mariah remix (106,470) by Shezz from Pk I like it. I don't love it (yet). It could have been on any Mariah album, very reminiscent of other JD and BMC Mariah songs like [We belong together] and [Don't forget about us]. I will definitely be hearing this over the original (same like I do with Yes, And and Big Energy). Mariah sounds good, I wish it were a little longer. I mean we all knew exactly what the song sounds like anyway and with the [Billboard] remix rule, we weren't up for any surprises. I'd have liked to hear a Mariah only chorus like we heard in the clips. Robert Anthony, history shall have to wait. They do sound good together though. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 11:43) this is a reply to message 106,469

Muni and Mariah remix (106,469) by Terna from Nigeria This wasn't planned well. The core of this song is its strong, loud and vocal chorus in contrast to the sublime reflective verses. It got too loud, too fast on the first chorus with Mariah singing the tenor part of the chorus. That should've been done in her falsetto voice or left out entirely (former preferred) and only after her introduction which was her verse, should she have sung in full voice the same part. Mariah sounds good and smooth which is a plus and her belts are getting better and closer to what she used to sound like. Three out of 5 stars. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 10:11)

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,457) by Shezz from Pk Ah. She's gonna premier it on The Voice? Insider has been saying that Mariah is going to perform the remix live to promote it. I hope it's true. I don't care if it's lipped. Knowing Mariah she will want the song to be heard with perfect vocals the first time it's being heard. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 17:34) this is a reply to message 106,455

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,455) by Robert-Anthony from United States Muni Long is going to perform Made For Me during the star-studded finale Part 2 tonight. Mariah may perform with Muni Long tonight. If she does perform, it would explain why the Tuesday release date and why we are still only hearing snippets today. I heard another snippet on JD's X page with MC's whistle notes and a smooth ooh ooh in the intro before Muni Long comes in with the first verse. MC comes in with the second verse singing new lyrics reminisce of the fast singing she did in WBT second verse. This maybe the remix and live performance we have been waiting for from MC. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 12:58)

Mariah reminder (106,456) by Shezz from Pk I agree. Unconditional for her always. The soundtrack of all our lives. She got me through some tough teenage years and beyond and I will be eternally grateful. She has enough people in the world mocking her and knocking her to have us turn on her as well. Where is the remix? (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 17:30) this is a reply to message 106,450

Mariah reminder (106,450) by Randy from USA As someone who has been hard on MC about not addressing her voice, I was in my feelings this past weekend and went in listening to her music and rewatched her interview with Oprah in 2020. I forgot all the things she's been through. Being dirty and unkept. The girls calling her the N-word and mulatto bitch. Alison throwing the tea in her face. Alison trying to have her pimped out. Alison offering her coke. Tommy holding a knife to her throat. Her mother having her arrested. Her mother telling her you'll never be as good a singer as me. Yes, I'd like to know what happened to the voice. Yes, I'd like her to stop lipping and start doing things in her current register. But I am glad this woman is still alive and here with us. People have not made it through life going through less. I can't say I'll always succeed but I will try to give MC a little more grace in the future than I have in the past. Lord knows, I will need it when it's my turn to be criticized by people who act as if they're saints. That's all. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 02:21)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,452) by Shezz from Pk My theory about the sudden turnaround with her mother is that she started therapy much later and we all know the first thing that comes up in therapy. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 05:30) this is a reply to message 106,445

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,445) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Yes, but the songs about her father [were] written after her father had passed away, so when her mother passes away, I would think Mariah will write a song then. (Monday 20 May 2024; 13:32)

History is about to be made (106,447) by Shezz from Pk Excited to hear the remix though I am not expecting it to do much on the charts. It will boost the original's chart position and the remix will not be credited as has happened before. Of course I would love to be proven wrong but I don't think this is MC's return to Billboard just yet. Also, the fact that MC hasn't posted anything about it herself yet, I think shows that she is not expecting much and is doing this as a favour to support Muni Long and for JD. MC is busy putting the final touches on MC16. Robert Anthony you better believe it. She apparently got JD recently onboard to help her finish the album (Insider). I hope she has a proper plan and delays her Christmas crossover to December this year or releases it right after the holiday season and uses that momentum. It will be interesting to see which way she chooses to go. (Monday 20 May 2024; 14:55) this is a reply to message 106,446

History is about to be made (106,446) by Robert-Anthony from United States Muni Long posted another TikTok video yesterday of her being silly and thankful for what is about to happen. MC's Made For Me vocals were playing in the background. She must know that she truly has something special dropping tomorrow with her remix with MC. (Monday 20 May 2024; 14:19)

Muni Long remix (106,405) by Shezz from Pk Same. This one has a video though apparently but of course it is a recording session video. Like the last two videos Fall in Love at Christmas and The Roof with Brandy. (Those are her last 2 videos right? Though the Brandy recording session video made sense.) At this point I don't know if it's budget issues or lack of will and creativity. I'm still excited to hear the song. Sounds like it should've been on Caution. (Monday 13 May 2024; 04:12) this is a reply to message 106,403

Muni Long remix (106,403) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Keeping hope for the remix but I think it's once again a bad strategy. That song was most popular when it was a viral TikTok trend. It has since been replaced by "Espresso". Although Save Your Tears remix became huge even after happening a year later I doubt this will be the case for MC because Ariana and Weeknd are two of the biggest streaming artists so their combined fandom is what got the song to the top. Lol I was so hopeful of the Ariana collab that this time around I'm keeping my expectations low. I wish it was an original song, not a remix. (Monday 13 May 2024; 02:12)

Muni Long remix (106,399) by Shezz from Pk I love your optimism and enthusiasm Robert Anthony. The remix is supposedly dropping next week (insider). I don't quite see the original on the Hot 100 as they only show top 20 positions. RA when did this song hit its peak? Is it falling right now? I don't want it to be another "Yes, And" situation with her hopping on to a dying song and it only going to the lambs. Apparently it will be sent to radio next week, maybe Def Jam might just put some weight behind it. I love her collaborating with these current female singers but I wish they were original collaborations and not remixes of old songs. Although the Weekend's "Save your tears" remix with Ariana came after nearly a year and that did so well. I think Mariah is trying to warm the general public up with these collaborations before hitting us with MC16. The lead single I think will come atleast 2 months after this release now. I just hope she paces herself properly - Merry Christmas 30 is not too far away. We don't want another Caution situation. (Saturday 11 May 2024; 17:37) this is a reply to message 106,397

Muni Long remix (106,397) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have been trying to search the web as to why Muni Long and JD just haven't dropped the remix or set a release date. I can't find anything on the web that would make them hold out for a specific reason. The only two things that I can conclude is that they know that MME is about get even bigger and they are giving Def Jam time to make a physical CD and vinyl to sell right after its release. Something remarkable is happening behind the scenes. This is it Lambs with MC's return to the Hot 100 in a big way. Are we ready for it? (Saturday 11 May 2024; 14:05)

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).

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. (Thursday 9 May 2024; 12:52)
