About Tevin from USA: A laid back guy that loves Mariah!

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,523) by Tevin from USA So true. Lol. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 23:37) this is a reply to message 105,520

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,520) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah I get your feelings and I too will be happy with a top 5 top 10 so that it positions Mariah really well for her next release but if it goes to #1, that'll be icing on the cake. I know it's a polarizing song, but a #1 is a #1 haha. I mean 4 of Mariah's #1s have been about her wanting to have sex lol (Honey, Fantasy, My All and TMB), 5th too if you count Emotions. The last collab she had was literally about having Big D Energy. Lol so I'll take whatever win we can have. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 21:05)

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,514) by Tevin from USA So the remix is a lot better than the original song. I hope Mariah and Ariana have a lot of success with this song. I don't mean to be negative but there's this part of me that hopes it cracks the top 10 or even top 5 on Billboard, but not reach number one. I just don't like the song or the message at all. Like I said Mariah added depth to the song that it was missing, and other than the bad mixing on the pre and first chorus everything songs great, uh, I don't know, I just feel like this song shouldn't be attached to the brilliant songs that make up the other 19. Call it single/song impostor syndrome, idk. Anyway on a positive note, I have been trying to stream it in the background to help. I do hope they both work on an original song together in the future and not just remakes. Also, as a YouTuber said in his reaction of yes and, Mariah has started off belting in a song since 1996 lol, so I was happy and presently surprised that she was belting in full chest voice throughout the song and sounding great too.

Yes? And remix (105,480) by Tevin from USA They have a clean version on Spotify. (Friday 16 February 2024; 13:22) this is a reply to message 105,465

Yes? And remix (105,465) by Stacey from USA I really like the song. MC's vocals add a lot to the song. But ugh, the cuss words are so not my thing. They just aren't. They ruin a song. I guess I'll hope for an Amazon music clean version. (Friday 16 February 2024; 07:48)

You all have to try this (105,455) by Tevin from USA Why we wait for Mariah's new single to drop, try this playlist out. This to me would have been the perfect ending to Caution. She should have moved Portrait to the number one or two spots on the album. Anyway, for the last songs put them in this order: Giving Me Life, Caution, (jump over to YouTube and play Selfish), Runway. Try it out and let me know what you all think.

Yes and, my thoughts (105,450) by Tevin from USA Ok, so like many of you have said on here, when I heard that there will be a new Mariah song released, I was ecstatic, but I also felt a bit conflicted, because I don't like the song Yes, And. I thought about it for a while and now I'm actually happy Mariah is doing this and here's why. 1. She is stepping outside of her comfort zone, like we have been begging for her to do for years (yes this may be a dance or club track like she's done in the past, but let's be honest, she hasn't done it in a long time). 2. She's collaborating with a female singer (one who can do crazy runs, high belts and even whistle, though not up to Mariah's level). Once again we have been asking her to do this. 3. Homewrecker or not, Ariana is still very popular and her music still sells. Once again we have been asking Mariah to work with a popular artist and no has been or up and coming artist. 4. We are finally able to see Mariah (after a very long time), work her magic with redoing a remix. Now if it's just added vocals, then I'll be happy but also disappointed, but by the sound of it, is that this will be a completely reworked song. 5. This introduces Mariah to a younger crowd outside of December. Once again we have been asking her to do this. I can go on, but the point is this, we haven't heard this remix yet, so how can we judge it before we hear it? Though I don't agree with Ariana's actions, we shouldn't criticize a remix we haven't heard yet (the "d" I ride part may not even be in the remix), also let's not be hypocrites, a very young Mariah was also in a similar situation in the past depending on how you look at things (with Tommy being married when he met Mariah). I'm not judging nor pointing fingers and honestly I don't care about what other people do, I'm just trying to make a point. I think Mariah's team is doing a good job. Get the public on your side, blow up on social media, show up to the Grammy's to appease the music academy (or whatever you call it). Start collaborating with young and established artist. Then drop your own fresh new song and possible album (I hope this last one comes true). I think with the success of Big E last year, it showed that Mariah may not be reigning in the charts nowadays, but her name does pull weight and people will tune in to listen if they can connect to the music. Ok rant over. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 21:24)

Selfish (105,448) by Tevin from USA Wow. I just listened to the Mariah AI version. I didn't like the JT version (sounded boring), but man oh man, Im loving this "Mariah" version. From what I see TikTok is eating this up too. Hopefully Mariah takes note add straight forward simplistic songs to sing, like this on her new album. Some people mentioned it sounds refreshing since there isn't a ton of back ground adlibs or crazy runs going on. My wish is for Mariah's next collaboration to be with JT, redo or do a duet on this song, and release the Yours duet with it as well (that may help people to visit Charmbracelet).

100% (105,352) by Tevin from USA I agree. Save the Day should have never seen the light of day. (Saturday 10 February 2024; 22:34) this is a reply to message 105,350

100% (105,350) by Robert-Anthony from United States It is not as bad as Infinity. Save The Day takes its place. I don't want her ever to put away a JD collaboration and start working on it again 5 years later. His songs have to be completed during the recording sessions. (Saturday 10 February 2024; 20:18)

100% (105,351) by Tevin from USA Wow. Lol. (Saturday 10 February 2024; 22:33) this is a reply to message 105,348

100% (105,348) by enwar00 from usa For me 100% is at the bottom of the barrel. I barely listened to it a couple of times. Makes Infinity sound like a #1. (Saturday 10 February 2024; 19:57)

100% (105,344) by Tevin from USA Do you all remember Mariah's song 100%? I randomly started singing this in my head today. I was curious, what were your thoughts on this song, has it changed since you first heard it 14 years ago? (Saturday 10 February 2024; 17:23)

The Celebration Of Mimi (105,297) by Tevin from USA It would be perfect for her to drop a single the first night at her show. (Tuesday 6 February 2024; 19:31) this is a reply to message 105,289

The Celebration Of Mimi (105,289) by Jamie from UK Mariah is doing some shows in Las Vegas in April at Park MGM. I feel a good record is coming up this year, the PR of Mariah at the moment is on form. (Tuesday 6 February 2024; 15:01)

Single drop (105,276) by Tevin from USA If Mariah is dropping a new album this year, when do you think she should drop her first single off the album (given that Taylor is dropping her album in April, with a new single probably at the beginning of next month)? (Monday 5 February 2024; 21:11)

Grammys 2024 (105,263) by Tevin from USA Mariah looks stunning. (Monday 5 February 2024; 02:57)

Quantity vs quality (105,098) by Tevin from USA I'm excited for new music too, and thank you for the avatar complement. I found it on that music prediction Twitter account that everyone was talking about a few days back. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 22:28) this is a reply to message 105,094

Quantity vs quality (105,094) by MusicfanJ from Germany Tevin, I just wanted to say you've got a beautiful new avatar. Beautiful Mariah. With the new album I'm for quality over quantity. I'm really excited for new music by MC. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 19:36)

Quantity vs quality (105,093) by Tevin from USA Agreed, even Mariah's worst albums (Rainbow and MIAMTEC) imo, still is better quality than a lot of stuff we hear in the industry today. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 18:23) this is a reply to message 105,086

Quantity vs quality (105,086) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll go for 6/10 Mariah album with a couple of big impact hits, that'll set the stage for her next projects and introduce her to new listeners. I really hope she has a solid roll out plan this time. We don't want more test and abandon singles. Also let's be real a 6/10 Mariah album is still going to be better than most of the albums out there. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 14:58)

Quantity vs quality (105,089) by Tevin from USA I agree. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 15:13) this is a reply to message 105,083

Quantity vs quality (105,083) by Zachariah from Croatia Caution was a 9/10 album but no huge hits. I would choose a 6/10 album. Honestly. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 10:57)

Quantity vs quality (105,088) by Tevin from USA Multiple top 5 hits would be awesome. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 15:13) this is a reply to message 105,082

Quantity vs quality (105,082) by Robert-Anthony from United States 6/10 quality type of album is going to be what puts MC back on top. Back to back Top 5 hits on the new album would put a smile on many of our faces. It could lead to a deluxe edition being released with 2-3 new tracks. Something tells me that we are in for something better than Caution and MIAM. MC is being really quiet about who she is working with this time. Who knows we may get a David Guetta dance track or a Ryan Tedder power ballad. Those two are on my wish list. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 10:54)

Quantity vs quality (105,080) by Tevin from USA Would you rather have a rated 6/10 Mariah album with one or two big hits (top 10 or better on Billboard) or a solid 9/10 album (because nothing will beat the perfection of Daydream) with no popular hit singles (doesn't hit the top 40 on Billboard)? Of course I'm hoping we get a solid quality album with hits, but I'm curious to hear what you all pick. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 04:49)

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,068) by Tevin from USA I agree TJ. (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 15:31) this is a reply to message 105,060

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,060) by TJ from Norway If we're going in that direction, I will say that it is strange that people write anything here. Discussing a person we don't know. But then again, here we are, a bunch of "crazy fans". (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 06:50)

Insider account (105,050) by Tevin from USA I agree, a Drake collaboration would be awesome. Also I wish she would collaborate with 21 Savage too. I can see them making a Fantasy or Honey remix ish type song. (Tuesday 23 January 2024; 04:04) this is a reply to message 105,049

Insider account (105,049) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I want a Drake and Mariah collaboration. Drake clearly admires Mariah because ever so often he randomly posts photos of her on his story or on his feed. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:27)

Insider account (105,048) by Tevin from USA I thought the reason Gucci was on the remix was because he was having beef at the time with Eminem. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:05) this is a reply to message 105,044

Insider account (105,044) by Robert-Anthony from United States Obsessed was her last huge upbeat song. It might have done better on the Hot 100 if Gucci Mane was not on the remix. MC should have chosen Drake for the original mix. Also, something tells me MC will have multiple gospel songs on MC16. (Monday 22 January 2024; 12:55)

Insider account (105,047) by Tevin from USA Don't get me wrong, I love me some ballads, but I do hope we get some good mid and uptempo songs. It seems like everyone popular who can "sing" in the current industry is making moody slow or mid tempo songs. I need some fresh upbeat music with substance. Did we even have a song of the summer last year? I feel like last year we didn't. Maybe a Sza song being the closest but her stuff was mid tempo. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,042

Insider account (105,042) by Pedro from Brazil I think MC decided to go into a more upbeat sound this time because "Obsessed" has recently become her most streamed song daily on Spotify, sometimes only behind WBT by a few streams. (Monday 22 January 2024; 02:30)

New projects (105,046) by Tevin from USA What's the name of this Twitter account? Oh I hope it's true. We need redemption for E=MC2. (Monday 22 January 2024; 20:46) this is a reply to message 105,022

New projects (105,022) by Pedro from Brazil According to a Twitter account that is supposedly an insider, Mariah's lead single will arrive between mid-February and May, the album musical style will be similar to E=MC2 and will include recordings from the studio sessions. The music video has been already filmed. Well, I don't know about the overall accuracy of this account, but every since I've been following it they were right about everything they leaked. They knew about Ariana's imminent comeback, video, album title and imagery long before it was released as well as other artists, so I hope they'll be right about MC too.

The reintroduction of Mariah Carey (104,944) by Tevin from USA Sounds like an awesome plan. I hope it all comes to fruition. But, not to sound like a Debbie downer, Mariah has definitely got to work on her vocals before promoting anything. Everyone knows how tough promotion can be on vocals. Think of how amazing she sounded at the start of the TEOM promo tour, compared to how she sounded during the actual tour for the album, and that was when he vocals were a lot stronger and more reliable. My thought is for her promo appearances she should do a mix of pre recorded videos (think late night v time mix video), plus semi pre-recorded uptempo song, and a fully live strip back ballad, where she can take her time and sing her heart out. (Monday 15 January 2024; 15:39) this is a reply to message 104,943

The reintroduction of Mariah Carey (104,943) by Robert-Anthony from United States I like the way L.A. Reid and Usher are promoting his new album, Coming Home, which is going to be releases on the same day as his Super Bowl LVIII Half-time performance. He is bringing his career back home by working with producers and songwriters he had worked with in the past and some new producers. Maybe MC needs to do something similar that will reintroduce her back to the pop and R&B charts. I say a reintroduction because MC is going need an album promotional plan that is going make MC16 stay on the minds of music lovers. She needs a new team to help her accomplish reintroducing her back to radio and the media. She is going to have to release two iHeart Music radio singles before the album's release with one being a huge ballad. MC16 should not have any rap features since MC is older now. MC will need to some type of huge album release event a week prior to the album's release. Maybe a 5-night performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show could be a first for MC. No pre-recorded tracks or gimmicks during the performances should heard. There should be just raw soul stirring performances each night similar to her MTV Unplugged performances. Finally, I would like to see the album released on same day as a primetime interview special with Robin Roberts. An interview with Robin Roberts would be what MC needs to ensure MC16 is heard by new music listeners. If she does a traditional album release, MC16 will be dead upon arrival.

Love for Memoirs (104,918) by Tevin from USA Thank you so much. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 05:17) this is a reply to message 104,911

Love for Memoirs (104,911) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was checking for you on YouTube yesterday and for some weird reason they removed it but I found it on sound cloud. Enjoy (Friday 12 January 2024; 22:18)

Love for Memoirs (104,910) by Tevin from USA Oh ok. I'll see if I can find it online. (Friday 12 January 2024; 18:27) this is a reply to message 104,893

Love for Memoirs (104,893) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yup. The remix that was supposed to be on Angels Advocate. Featuring The Dream and Ludacris. Which reminds me I would love for Mariah to work with The Dream again. (Friday 12 January 2024; 02:26)
