About Zachariah from Croatia: Mariah Carey fan and professional member of automotive community - both got me feeling emotions.

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,510) by Zachariah from Croatia Never noticed that she (Ariana) was not performing. Did someting happened to her? (Monday 11 December 2023; 22:13) this is a reply to message 104,507

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,507) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not sure if anyone discussed this yet (didn't get to catch up) but when I heard she brought out Ariana (who's been in hiding for years) I was super excited. Side note I think Mariah and Ariana should collaborate on a non Christmas song along the lines of "Touch my body", their voices complement each other. Ok back to the topic, why was Mariah so stiff? Like Ariana was skipping around dancing and enjoying, JHud was moving around but Mariah just looked like she was pinned to one location and wouldn't move. I see this a lot in her appearances. This was an upbeat song and you'd think they'd probably even try to recreate the video choreo, or if there wasn't enough time just walk around. But she was locked in position and looked like she was reading off instructions on a monitor or something. Mariah girl you've been performing to sold out shows for a while now you'd think she'd have more control over her stage presence. (Monday 11 December 2023; 21:52)

Congratulations (104,508) by Zachariah from Croatia Because sometimes I can't understand 56% of what you write. English is not my native language and I don't have a great knowledge of "gay jargon" and googling all the references can be quite exhausting.

Congratulations (104,505) by Andrew from the UK Why do you "have to ask" people's sexual orientation? What purpose does it serve? Mariah is clearly lip-syncing 90% of the show. Sometimes she just clear gives up the pretence and lets the pre-record play. I will say this, also: Mariah is possibly on some serious medication for, even during the J-Hud and Ariana performance, she's having to read the auto-cue or cue-cards by the monitors. Seriously worrying. The performance is clunky. (Monday 11 December 2023; 21:01)

Congratulations (104,501) by Zachariah from Croatia Of course she will get to number one. She looks better than ever, she sounds amazing (I don't understand why some people say she is lip syncing when clearly she is singing live) and she will be number one for Christmas. Btw, I have to ask - are there any straight people here or I am the only straight guy here? (Monday 11 December 2023; 08:48) this is a reply to message 104,499

Congratulations (104,499) by Tameka walker from United states I want to congratulate Mariah for going number one on iTunes, congratulations Mariah. I hope you go to number one. (Sunday 10 December 2023; 23:20)

We lost the #1 (104,363) by Zachariah from Croatia But guys, it is [the] start of December. [If] she doesn't score [a] number one this week, she will do it next week. Trust me. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 14:31) this is a reply to message 104,362

We lost the #1 (104,362) by Libra Lamb from USA Mariah needs another #1 like she needs a hole in the head. She's done it. Now everyone and their grandmother wants to make Holiday music and see they too can make a solid hit. You're right, let someone else shine too. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 14:18)

Would you rather (104,312) by Zachariah from Croatia I might get hate for this but to me, Yours is not that good of a song that should be receiving so much attention. I mean, I really don't want to hear Justin's squeaky falsetto voice there as well. (Friday 1 December 2023; 13:18) this is a reply to message 104,311

Would you rather (104,311) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it may be only business. But I still believe he isn't the nice guy everyone thinks he is. I always liked the other Nysnc [sic] members more. Lol. One thing is sure Justin was always very clever in his entertainment business. I have a feeling that "Yours" won't be released soon. We'll see if Mariah surprises us. (Friday 1 December 2023; 10:43)

Quality non-album tracks (104,280) by Zachariah from Croatia Right To Dream as well. I love that song. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 21:55) this is a reply to message 104,278

Quality non-album tracks (104,278) by Edward from USA Randy's Theme, Help Me Make It and Almost Home are three quality singles that should definitely be on The Rarities 2. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 19:58)

Would you rather (104,265) by Zachariah from Croatia I would like to see her new album. A banger. A real banger. With different producers. Like Max Martin for example. Since her voice is pretty good now, I want that. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 19:06) this is a reply to message 104,264

Would you rather (104,264) by Tevin from USA I'm quite curious to read everyone's opinion. For 2024, would you rather have Mariah releases a 10 to 12 tract Rarities 2 album, where half of the songs are never before heard songs, or would you rather see here release a brand new 10 to 12 song studio album? (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 18:50)

Grio performances (104,255) by Zachariah from Croatia Why does Mariah always gets boring-ish singers for a tribute? I want to hear Beyonce doing her song. It would be cool to see Taylor Swift doing Mariah's Shake It Off. Alicia singing My All. Etc etc. One Sweet Day was horror. They even messed up the text in the beginning. (Monday 27 November 2023; 23:46)

Andrew (104,254) by Zachariah from Croatia It is just his style. As Mariah would say: "We like everybody." (Monday 27 November 2023; 23:38) this is a reply to message 104,244

Andrew (104,244) by David from USA Does Andrew do anything on this board besides spread negativity and bad vibes? Genuinely interested. (Monday 27 November 2023; 03:12)

I don´t understand (104,165) by Zachariah from Croatia But isn't she doing very well with live performances now? From what I can hear from her Christmas tour, vocals are on point. More than that. And yes, I am one of those who will say "yass queen" because it is exactly that, yass. Queen. Being 33 years in the industry and her career behind her - there is literally nothing from her to bring us down. Only positivity and music to focus on forward. I am blessed that I enjoy and 90's and Mariah after 2001. Even more after 2001. I am proud to be her fan. And always will be. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 23:51)

Performance (104,135) by Zachariah from Croatia As I said before - she lost weight and got her breathing capacity back - it was live and it was epic. (Monday 20 November 2023; 14:15) this is a reply to message 104,133

Performance (104,133) by Robert-Anthony from United States It was live 100 percent dahling. She has her voice back. (Monday 20 November 2023; 10:46)

Damn, she looks good. (104,065) by Zachariah from Croatia Jennifer Hudson show - damn, she looks good. Epic styling. (Wednesday 15 November 2023; 17:41)

Mariah, please be ready (104,009) by Zachariah from Croatia I literally share the same views. I miss Madison Square Garden 1995 Mariah where she run across the stage and actually moved. I am not a Madonna fan but I have a huge respect for her work and her stage presence. She moves. She puts an afford. And I hate my brain sometimes because I would still rather pay to see Mariah, standing and singing party live, party not, instead seeing Madonna who is doing her maximum. But as a Mariah fan since day one back in 1990 - it is what is is. My heart can't go otherwise. You support and pray for the best. (Friday 10 November 2023; 11:13) this is a reply to message 104,008

Mariah, please be ready (104,008) by Andrew from the UK I don't know how much money Mariah makes from royalties each year but it's surely got to be around the US$50m mark? I can appreciate the "rug pulled from under you" theory - but it's so unlikely as to be an impossibility. I cannot now see, at this age, and with the experience she has, why Mariah cannot lower the keys of the songs, sing them, and move around the stage once more. Madonna is ten years older than Mariah, recently got out of hospital, clearly still has an injury to her leg, and still is still delivering a reasonable energised and effective show (although there's a lot of criticism of a different nature that can be levelled at that artist). I have always said that I think Mariah's weight, and ever expanding breasts, have negatively impacted her movement and her singing - if she cared about her fans she would do something about it. She would lower the keys of her songs, put on a pair of pants, move about the stage again and have actual fun rather than looking like a (rein)deer in headlights. And we would have a lot more fun with it. For the love of all that is holy, Mariah: go back to the way you were. (Friday 10 November 2023; 09:15)

Annoyed (103,990) by Zachariah from Croatia Is it just me or she looks so annoyed and irritated when she is answering questions during interviews? I love it. She looks... confident? (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 13:36)

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,969) by Zachariah from Croatia Jorge, calm down. I am a lamb as well, since 1990, and I didn't take Andrew's post offensive or shady. Just as an observation. It doesn´t mean that he is a hater or whatever. I think she just looks great because she lost weight. (Sunday 5 November 2023; 23:17) this is a reply to message 103,965

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,965) by JR from United States What is wrong with you? Why are [you] so focused on her body and face? You call yourself a lamb, yet you have very strong opinions on someone else's body and voice? Can [you] sing? Didn't think so. Can't we just enjoy the music and let her be? (Sunday 5 November 2023; 17:55)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,955) by Zachariah from Croatia Jimmy was meh. And you could tell that she was there just because. (Friday 3 November 2023; 19:55) this is a reply to message 103,954

Jimmy Kimmel (103,954) by Brandon from USA She definitely looked beautiful. Call me Negative Nancy but the interview was all fluff. If [you] didn't see the interview, you didn't really miss anything because nothing of substance was talked about. Very little talk about her upcoming shows, no new project news but plenty of talk about prank calls and lighting (insert eye roll). (Friday 3 November 2023; 15:50)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,952) by Zachariah from Croatia I loved the interview. So funny and witty. And slightly annoyed which I love. (Friday 3 November 2023; 12:45) this is a reply to message 103,949

Jimmy Kimmel (103,949) by Robert-Anthony from United States No new Christmas music this year. MC was funny and was comfortable as always with Jimmy Kimmel. And she was late as usual to the taping. (Friday 3 November 2023; 05:19)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,858) by Zachariah from Croatia I liked it a lot. It was my first time seeing her live at all in Vienna. so it is close to my heart. (Tuesday 24 October 2023; 08:39) this is a reply to message 103,831

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,831) by Brandon from USA Anyone else misses the Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour? I feel like that was one of her better tours, from the choreography, the outfits, her renewed confidence to her amazing voice. I wish she would've kept going in that direction of performing and entertaining. Anyone else feel the same way? (Saturday 21 October 2023; 03:47)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,824) by Zachariah from Croatia Thank you. (Friday 20 October 2023; 12:04) this is a reply to message 103,821

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,821) by Norman from USA Sorry, Zach. (Friday 20 October 2023; 02:21)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,823) by Zachariah from Croatia Thank you for kind words. (Friday 20 October 2023; 12:04) this is a reply to message 103,818

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,818) by Andrew from the UK I am so very sorry to hear that. If you would care to share, I am certain you would be in good company and receive much empathy and sympathy. There is only joy in anything because it reminds us of the sadness within the absence of it. That is to say: better to have loved and lost, etc. Better to have courage to see the positives, than resolve yourself to darkness. It reminds me of a poem I wrote *cough* (of which Randy likes the title... but interestingly not the actual poem): ALL THE AVAILABLE LIGHT I remember when striken the thunderbolt that it's stormier still in the night - and though flashes of brilliance are fleeting, to paint all the available light. It is not how dim-lit the Universe nor now woeful the world in your sight - if the canvas requires your bravery, so your conscience requires the fight. (Thursday 19 October 2023; 23:56)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,815) by Zachariah from Croatia I lost that feeling in 2012 (tragic death in family). Since then, I am struggling. (Thursday 19 October 2023; 22:53) this is a reply to message 103,811

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,811) by Andrew from the UK Ah okay. I thought you meant that there was actual figures suggesting such a thing. But I get it. However, isn't romancing an idea one of the great things about Christmas? Is it not the one time when you wish for your perfect and believe it will come? Christmas is about *possibility*. (Thursday 19 October 2023; 21:21)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,807) by Zachariah from Croatia From every day life, especially around that time. I always play festive music so I don't have to think about loneliness and being sad in that period. (Thursday 19 October 2023; 11:51) this is a reply to message 103,806

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,806) by Andrew from the UK Where are you pulling this data from? (Thursday 19 October 2023; 11:23)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,801) by Zachariah from Croatia Because 70% of people are even more sad, lonely and suicidal around that time of year and trust me, no one wants to hear sad ballads those days. (Thursday 19 October 2023; 09:17) this is a reply to message 103,798

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,798) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just thought about this song today. Why are Christmas ballads not as popular as up tempo songs during the Christmas season? Every song released and makes it unto the charts is up tempo or mid tempo. You would think with the right promotion and airplay, Miss You Most could easily be a top 10 hit each year. (Wednesday 18 October 2023; 23:01)

Tis the season for something... (103,793) by Zachariah from Croatia I also don't get the attack on the dress. I like it a lot and it is flattering her age and figure. What was she supposed to have on - ripped jeans with her ass hanging out? It's not 1999 anymore. (Wednesday 18 October 2023; 10:24) this is a reply to message 103,789

Tis the season for something... (103,789) by SM from Citizen of the World Mariah can't do a thing without getting criticism. I mean you're really gonna judge her dress in a photo with her children? That's just pretty low. Most of these comments on this board are low, it's sad. (Wednesday 18 October 2023; 00:48)

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,737) by Zachariah from Croatia I hear you and to be honest, I would like to see her and just pull her aside and ask her - girl, what is happening and how can we help? Damn. So frustrating sometimes. (Friday 13 October 2023; 19:23) this is a reply to message 103,734

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,734) by Brandon from USA Just because you are tired doesn't mean [you] give a lazy performance to people who have paid money to see [you]. It's not as if she was in the midst of a long tour and made a special effort to perform at this wedding. Her last performance was months ago. Beyoncé just came off of a 50+ date tour in stadiums with an almost 3 hour high energy show and gave it every night. I'm sure there were nights when she didn't feel like it but still gave her all. We shouldn't blame jet lag because she should have gotten there early enough to get some rest and be prepared, knowing how long it takes to get over there. I'm confused as to why some fans lower to bar to the ground for Mariah when she is capable of so much more. She's only 54 and still young and beautiful in my eyes. She's not some frail old woman. She just doesn't try much anymore which is frustrating. I hope she's able to muster up some energy and vocal stamina to get through this Christmas tour. (Friday 13 October 2023; 16:01)
