Taylor Swift (110,489) by Dove from United States MC has defended herself pretty well throughout her life and career. She has God defending her and fighting her battles for her. I'm not sure what you meant by "blow up doll" but just because someone is beautiful and curvaceous doesn't mean they're not smart or don't stand up for themselves.

Taylor Swift (110,488) by Lambi from USA I'm so happy to hear that. Blake Lively is despicable. She tried to threaten Taylor Swift by saying, "I'm going to leak ten years of your messages if you don't stand up for me." Taylor is going to flex her empire hard. I've also been following the lawsuit, so knowing that she's preparing to clap back is exciting. I also became a fan of Scott Swift, her dad, in the process. When he heard about the threats, he immediately gave the information to the opposing team, so now they have evidence of Blake Lively's extortion attempt. I love it. It made me wish Mariah had a protective father figure like that throughout her life. Maybe she wouldn't be so damaged and wouldn't be the blow-up doll she is today, if she had consistently felt deeply loved by a father since she was a child. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 15:03)

Wicked for Good (110,487) by Dove from United States A lot of people will probably watch Wicked for Good. It's too bad filming already wrapped or MC could have made a cameo. They could use one of her songs at the end, while the credits are running, like they did with Oz the Great and Powerful. Anytime You Need a Friend - C&C Club Version. Or the version that sounds super jazzy... is it the string-a-pella one? That one is super long so it would need to be cut down a bit. I bet everyone would want their project associated with a living legend if asked. They could do the video with scenes from the movie like they did with Almost Home and have MC dripped in jewels like a fictional/alternative good witch who doesn't appear in the movie. She could lip-sync some parts of the song like she did in the Almost Home video. (Everyone lip-syncs in music videos so haters can't hate.) I don't think this song would be a #1 but it would garner attention. People would remember, or be introduced to, one of the reasons Mariah is a legend. Her voice. For a #1 we need another "Fantasy" type song, though. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 14:19)

Another #1 (110,481) by Dove from United States I think MC can still have another #1. She doesn't need it, but she's so close to tying The Beatles. Why not at least try? It's going to take something big, though. A really, really catchy song that you'd want to play on repeat. They need to play it somewhere everyone will hear it. Remember when Don't Stop Believing became super popular again after playing over the last montage on Laguna Beach? It didn't reach #1, but still, it made a resurgence. And not everyone watched Laguna Beach. It would need to be a movie or show that appealed to everyone. I don't think people mind seeing Mariah blinged up. I love it. I live my royal gemstone dreams through her. She worked hard for that mess. But we need to see another "human" side to her too. Some ideas I have off the top of my head. When I was young the super talented music icon, Juan Gabriel, would have other singers sing his already super popular musical masterpieces. He sang them too, but the new singer gave it new dimension and life. All versions are still classics to this day. Nobody can sing Mariah songs better than Mariah. The cheap route would be to cover a Taylor Swift song. I know she's younger and has been in the game less time but she really is very talented. That's a big part of why people love her so much. Her songs are really heartfelt. When she was younger, her songs were younger. She sang about "young" things and the songs did come off sophomoric to a more mature audience. But her songs have matured and grown with her. How Did It End? The Prophecy, My Tears Ricochet, Would've, Could've, Should've... I could hear Mariah singing all of these. As long as she says nice things about Taylor her fans would at least listen to it. Taylor's fans are pretty nice IMO. I don't think a duet would sound good between those two, though. MC might be too proud to do this. I think it would make her appear humble. Some haters might say she's only doing it to ride on Taylor's success train right now but haters will always have something negative to say. I think people would listen to it. It would be magical if she had Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift covers on her album. The past and the future. Also, she needs another "Fantasy" with the "boom" for the show/movie I mentioned earlier. There's still time. September 26th is more than a month away. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 10:54)

HFIA snippet (110,453) by Dove from United States Is this the clip we're taking about? It doesn't sound chipmunky to me. It sounds on par with Heavenly (No Ways Tired). I was trying not to listen to it but I got curious. Seeing Mariah in this clip made me feel super happy we're getting another album. I still can't believe it. I thought Caution would be her last one. I really like her sparkly pants in this clip, too. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 07:42)

Mariah Carey breaks down her most iconic music videos (110,444) by Dove from United States Wow. Mariah Carey looks the best she's ever looked here. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 00:32)

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,419) by Dove from United States Maybe she’s on the medication. Selena Gomez is on. Selena Gomez gives off the same vibe. I mean, if they need it to help them live a better quality life, I don’t mind as much that they’re zombified. Britney Spears had that vibe when she was a judge on the X Factor too. (Monday 11 August 2025; 16:19) this is a reply to message 110,417

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,417) by Jamie from UK Unfortunately this is Mariah now, over medicated and numb. How can she expect her songs to have any energy when she's like this. When they showed the old interview with Jamie Theakston, it showed a complete contrast in her. There she was lively, interactive and engaged. Now it's like her batteries are half full at most, she's disengaged, slowed down and flat. Yes she has some fun moments but the energy is low and doesn't let herself go or relax like she once did. (Monday 11 August 2025; 15:36)

Great music (110,415) by Dove from United States She's dropped weak singles before. You're Mine (Eternal) comes to mind. Never too Far should not have been released as a single over Lead the Way. Angels Cry and With You should not have been released as singles over other more radio (or playlist) friendly songs on their albums. They're great songs but they're the type of songs you discover when listening to a whole album. For singles that are going to get airplay you need something that will grab and keep people's attention. When you're on a high point of your career, people will buy whatever you're putting out, it doesn't matter. But when you're trying to make a comeback after being away for a while, the singles do matter. (Monday 11 August 2025; 13:41) this is a reply to message 110,412

Great music (110,412) by Lambi from USA Not gonna lie, I was actually really hopeful after reading that grand Gamma article. But after hearing the new singles, it seems like the quality of songwriting went down with Mariah's choice of co-writers. It's not bad, still solid by normal standards but Mariah is just held to a whole different level. She's literally never made one bad studio album. Ever. This is actually the first time she's dropped weak lead singles. It landed me to a hopeless point. I still want her to come through and prove me wrong though. Shut me up. I'm rooting for that. I think your assessment might be correct. This could be the Charmbracelet to the Emancipation. Only time will tell. But like you said, it is great quality music no matter what. (Monday 11 August 2025; 12:05)

Sugar Sweet remixes (110,414) by Dove from United States That would actually be sweet if she re-released Sugar Sweet with remixes and a cute video. I would like if she wrote more verses (to give it more meat) and sung it all herself in one mix. The mix with Kehlani and Shenseea is cool and will still exist. The video could even be home videos of her with her kids. I like seeing Mariah in "mom" mode sometimes. That song feels like being a kid in the summertime to me, eating popsicles and watermelon on the Fourth of July while watching the fireworks. The high parts that bothered me before are starting to grow on me. I wanted them to sound like honey and they sound like cotton candy, which is still nice. (Monday 11 August 2025; 13:32)

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,405) by Dove from United States Honestly, I think those comments are bots. I started noticing it around the time MOAIA came out. I started noticing the same negative comments on every single post or article about Mariah. I think it's called astroturfing. It's so that regular people who read the same comments over and over again start thinking they feel that way about it too. A lot of us are on autopilot half the time. She doesn't seem drunk or high. We all know what people who are drunk or high really sound/act like. I think a lot of it is she has to speak carefully because everything can be taken out of context and made into a sound bite these days. To me she just seems super chill. Like she DGAF anymore, because she knows she has nothing left to prove. I think the way she answered the question about Katy Perry going to space was classic Mariah. She lives in her own world and doesn't care about pop other stars. That's not even the type of music she listens to. I actually loved her response. (Monday 11 August 2025; 01:53) this is a reply to message 110,403

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,403) by Lambi from USA For whatever reason, this is the one that every media outlet picked up and it's going insanely viral right now. It's interesting to see how the general public perceives Mariah. The comments range from: "Is she high?" "Is she drunk?" "Sedated Mariah is forever a mood," to "She sounds like she's had a few." What's crazy is, I actually thought her recent interviews were decent, definitely better than the ones in Australia. But to the average viewer who isn't a lamb, there's no mercy; they'll just call it like they see it. I really hope she eases up on the meds. While she's not totally disoriented, it's obvious to the casual observer that something feels off. (Monday 11 August 2025; 01:18)

Save the Day (110,378) by Dove from United States I don't listen to it that often. The concept was good but it sounds a little choppy to me. If it's next on my shuffled playlist, I'll listen to it, but I don't actively look for it. (Friday 8 August 2025; 13:06) this is a reply to message 110,376

Save the Day (110,376) by Giovanni from USA I'm curious if any of you still listen to this song? I love when Mariah writes with James Wright and I hope we get some more songs with JD. "Save the Day" is classic MC. (Friday 8 August 2025; 03:31)

Eric B. is President (110,374) by Dove from United States I had never heard that song before, but I just did, and I can see the vision now. Listening to EBIP makes me like Type: Dangerous more. I wish T:D had more "boom" like EBIP. I can't explain it. I would like it more if the backing track/instrumental was more like the original. (Friday 8 August 2025; 00:08)

New interviews (110,373) by Dove from United States She seems so chill. I hadn't watched interviews of her in a while, I had forgotten how much I like her. I've missed her. Thank you for posting. I don't know any of those interviewers but I appreciate how respectful they all were. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 21:09) this is a reply to message 110,371

New interviews (110,371) by Haiji from United States Oh ok, my apologies, I get it now. Mariah at Smooth Radio iHeart interview Instagram link - BBC Radio Instagram link - BBC Radio Pt.2 Did I get it right? Lol. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 16:50)

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,368) by Dove from United States Yay. I'm happy she's still nominated on MTV. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 15:30) 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. Today you can vote up to 20 times in one shot (usually you only get to cast ten ballots). Let's go lambs. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 19:42)

Sugar Sweet video (110,345) by Dove from United States I don't think a music video is going to help Sugar Sweet. It's a cute song but I don't think it's single material. How I determine that is, "If I heard this song on the radio, would I listen to it or change the station?" It's like an Underneath the Stars kind of song. It works in a sequence with other songs but not by itself. If they do a video it should just be a low budget "fun" video. But I feel like the time for that has already passed. The song is too simple to stand on its own. It needed a video. It could have been anything. A kid's birthday party on a boat. Anything happy and sunny. I would choose the best song off the album and put my money and power behind that one. And release it closer to the release of the album. Like a couple of weeks before. (I hope it wasn't Type Dangerous but I'm afraid it probably was.) I don't think it's going to chart on the mainstream charts though. Regardless of how good the song and video is. For that you have to appeal to the young kids because they're the ones that listen to songs on repeat and determine what's "in". The Ariana duets would have helped like 10 years ago but she's already on her way out. (Unless she makes some kind of comeback.) Taylor Swift has maintained (and grown) her fanbase but I'm not sure exactly how she did it. A part of it is probably because she comes across as a generous and fair person. And the music is good too. She knows how to capture a moment/feeling. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 08:21)

Next single (110,339) by Dove from United States The next single needs to be released at the same time as the music video. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 17:41)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,333) by Dove from United States "The things I see posted on this site daily make me want to scream into a pillow" is exactly what I think people think when they read my frivolous posts. Lol. But I knew you were being sarcastic about the other stuff. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 03:28) this is a reply to message 110,330

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,330) by Edward from USA Dear Dove, I hope you know I was being sarcastic. Your posts are lovely. Mariah's boobs have been out the closet for ages, she's stated so herself. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 02:09)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,329) by Dove from United States Just one more. Her natural body is more athletic like Cindy Crawford. She didn't have much of a waist before and now she does. Even when she was really skinny she didn't have a super defined waist. They have lipo that makes your waist more defined. If she did that it was money well spent because clothes look better (in my opinion) when a woman has an hourglass shape. Also, around 45 jowls start appearing and they're not as easy to disappear as the lines on your forehead and between your eyebrows. She had them a few years ago and now she doesn't. I'm really not shaming. I'm sorry if it sounds like I am. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 01:45) this is a reply to message 110,315

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)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,327) by Dove from United States Sorry, Edward. I'm just really bored sometimes. I'll think twice before I post something air-headed again. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 01:33) this is a reply to message 110,323

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,323) by Edward from USA The things I see posted on this site daily make me want to scream into a pillow, but I hold back, because I just know some of you would turn around and say I'm being dramatic from watching too many Latin soap operas. Some of you speak with so much confidence, yet you're loud and wrong, and all I can do is sit there in stunned silence. The urge to jump in and reprimand a few of you is very real, but instead, I just let a couple of dramatic tears fall and softly whisper "Cry." like it's the final scene of "Marimar", my favorite "Telenovela" from the 90s. You all really need to stop shaming Mariah. Only a handful of men, maybe ten, tops, have ever had the honor of touching her boobs, and not a single one of them was a surgeon. A woman? Maybe, but I doubt it. We've all known for decades that the iconic lift her boobs have experienced comes from industrial-strength push-up bras she's been rocking since the Rainbow era. This isn't breaking news, duh. As for her face, it moves, just not in public. She's not risking getting caught in a bad angle, so she keeps it locked in diva mode anytime there's a camera around. Remember Mariah is multiracial, that little hint of Asian in her eyes is probably some distant Latin ancestor or something, we do have a little Asian ancestry in Latin America too. In short, she hasn't had any work done. That's just what jealousy looks like from the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 18:25)

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.

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)

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)

Hero video (110,307) by Dove from United States This person uploaded a few videos. I love the purple outfit with the silver boots the most. I like what's going on in the background with the stars. She sounds really good too. IMO. I'm a little jealous of the people who got to go to this. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 18:00)

Random thought (110,305) by Dove from United States I agree with you. If nothing else she can write and produce for other people. Maybe her kids. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 15:44) this is a reply to message 110,301

Random thought (110,301) by TJ from Norway I'm sure some of you think I'm an old crow, but she should stick to what she knows, and that is music. She's not a good actress, and doesn't know how to express different feelings or what ever in movies. That's at least my honest opinion. Love MC but acting is not her cup of tea. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 07:50)

Article: Mariah wears "Protect the Dolls" jacket at Brighton Pride (110,300) by Dove from United States I love these outfits. They're so sparkly and fun. I just wish the boots were more fitted and maybe a little taller. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 07:02)

Sugar Sweet (110,297) by Dove from United States Someone just posted a video. She sounds good and looks really cute. I like Sugar Sweet live. The dancers are dancing like their rent is due. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 03:16)

Infinity (110,290) by Dove from United States I love the song Infinity. (Saturday 2 August 2025; 23:19) this is a reply to message 110,288

Streaming numbers (110,288) by TJ from Norway We often joke about Migrate and the lack of support of that song. I was going through a list over Mariah's most streamed songs and realised that [It's like that] has only around 250k spins/streams on Spotify. Migrate has 5,3 million and what's really shocking is that that horrible song Infinity has more than 16 millions. Yes I know that both ILT and Migrate were released before the streaming took over, but 16 millions? #justiceforITL (Saturday 2 August 2025; 18:21)
