Rainbow25 (106,591) by Jamie from UK Do you think we will have to wait till November for Rainbow25 and the remix. As that’s when the album was originally released or do you think she do it during Pride period? (Monday 3 June 2024; 11:19)

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,570) by Jamie from UK Yes she's confirmed it on Instagram in her replies to people. Sounds so good. (Friday 31 May 2024; 20:14) this is a reply to message 106,569

Finished Rainbow song is coming (106,569) by Bobby A from United States MC just posted a snippet on X today. Ooh wee y'all. Her vocals and Mary's, Trey's and Charlotte's background vocals are really good. It is on the way like I said it was in June along with Pride merchandise. I have my insider source in NYC. Lol. Check it out. (Friday 31 May 2024; 19:43)

Attitude magazine (106,553) by Jamie from UK Attitude magazine have posted some very unflattering pictures of Mariah on their Instagram. Clearly very drunk. I don't agree with them being able to post these as they are making fun of Mariah. They didn't even have the nerve to tag her in it. (Monday 27 May 2024; 17:36)

Me. I Am Mariah (106,533) by Jamie from UK One More Try should definitely have been omitted, I got excited when I first heard she was doing it but the arrangement is all wrong. Not a lover of Cry either. I hope we get to hear those other songs at some point. (Saturday 25 May 2024; 16:26) this is a reply to message 106,532

Me. I Am Mariah (106,532) by BFF from United States The album is full of great songs, but the weird title kind of ruined it for a lot of people. I think the album should have been released in its original incarnation as "The Art of Letting Go" without songs like "Money", "One More Try" and "Heavenly". I don't know if this track list is accurate, but this was the rumored original track list in Summer 2013: 1. Make It Look Good 2. #Beautiful (feat. Miguel) 3. You're Mine 4. You Don't Know What To Do 5. Hope Street 6. Lullaby of Birdland - Interlude 7. The Art of Letting Go 8. I Can't Love U (feat. R. Kelly) 9. Mr. Operator 10. Hurricane 11. This Cannot Be Love 12. I'll Still Be Around (feat. Stevie Wonder) 13. Heart 14. Save The Day It seems credible since half of these tracks were released in some incarnation. I have a feeling Mariah has a ton of unreleased material from the 2009-2014 period. She could definitely release some more "Rarities" from the aborted "Angels Advocate" remix album and the years-long sessions for "Me I Am Mariah". (Saturday 25 May 2024; 14:52)

Portrait remixes (106,512) by Jamie from UK Yes a great summer vibe. I'm loving these remixes. I'm listening on headphones and her voice sounds great even the belts I'm not disappointed with, yeah it's not early Mariah belts but it's great to hear her having fun with remixes again and they have definitely got an old Mariah vibe. (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:25) this is a reply to message 106,511

Portrait remixes (106,511) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I actually like the remixes, it's some old school Mariah remixes for you, gave me nostalgic feelings, but yes, her voice is very strained. Her breathy vocals are as pleasant to listen to as always, but her full voice and whenever se wants to jump up an octave, you can hear she is struggling, it takes her much effort to just sing one or two words in the upper register and it sounds more like shouting than singing. Yes, maybe she should do an album with all the studio magic you can think of, and she can lip synch her way through her performances. We are very harsh against Mariah for her use of prerecorded tracks which seems to be 90% of her live shows these days, but the general public really don't seem to care, it's been a long time since I've seen YouTube videos bashing her lip synching. It seems like the people attending her concerts don't care and is just in for the experience. Anyways, the Portrait remixes is new music from Mariah I'm actually going to play this summer, such a nice summerly vibe to those remixes. (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:16)

Portrait remixes (106,510) by Jamie from UK I’m listening now and I’m actually thinking they are good and her voice is good too. Great to hear her ad-libbing and resinging the lyrics to a remix again. (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:14) this is a reply to message 106,508

Portrait remixes (106,508) by Bobby A 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)

New house mix? (106,509) by Jamie from UK They are out on iTunes in UK. [Webmaster: You can also fin them on YouTube.] (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:06) this is a reply to message 106,507

New house mix? (106,507) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm not gonna pay for another subscription (audible), even thought I'd love to hear the new connect. I like to read a physical book. And I like podcasts when I am driving. I'll read a book, then jump in my car and listen to a podcast, I don't want to listen to a book-on-tape (which is what it was called before it was a corporate money maker) My questions is, when can I hear the new Portrait House remix? I expected it on iTunes today with the release of the audible stuff. Why not? (Friday 24 May 2024; 05:06)

Portrait (106,494) by Jamie from UK So Portrait remixes are being released tomorrow, does anyone know the reasoning behind this? (Thursday 23 May 2024; 16:49)

Spanish guitar ballad (106,493) by Jamie from UK Chill out, I never said it had to be a lead single or a single at all, just an album filler. I personally would like it as I like Mariah with that sound. Will I get it probably not but one can hope. No need to jump down my throat for a thought I had. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 16:49) this is a reply to message 106,492

Spanish guitar ballad (106,492) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Can we all agree that Mariah has to do new stuff for her next release? She already made four ballads with a Spanish guitar, do you really think what is going to put Mariah back in the spotlight is making music she did over 20 years ago? No, I hope she never does a ballad like that again. The two she wrote after My All are blueprints of My All. Mariah has to surprise us and the rest of the public, something we have never heard of or would suspect, but it has to be authentic Mariah. And as we all know, Mariah can't be something she's not, she is unapologetic herself, I just pray she can do something completely different with her music. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 15:19)

Spanish guitar ballad (106,490) by Jamie from UK I was just listening to I Only Wanted in the car on the way back from the gym and I was thinking I'd love another Spanish guitar influenced ballad from Mariah. She has some great ones with I Don't Wanna Cry, My All, After Tonight. It's been a while since we have had this style from Mariah and I'm ready for another. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 12:43)

MFM remix (106,478) by Jamie from UK Number 12 on US iTunes now and 17 in UK. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 15:44) this is a reply to message 106,473

MFM remix (106,473) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I can agree with you on that, but it would be nice to see the remix on the charts. This remix is going nowhere, it's not even on the iTunes top 100 in the US (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 13:07)

First listen (106,467) by Jamie from UK It's ok, nothing special. And doesn't really sound like Mariah. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 09:59) this is a reply to message 106,463

First listen (106,463) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know how to feel haha. I think the chorus is too busy and her verse seems very reminiscent of an old song of hers I can't quite place it. I don't really see this song doing much for Mariah. May help Muni get some international lambs. I don't know what is Mariah's team's strategy. Instead of doing these side remixes that's not doing much for her, she should focus on her own projects. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 03:34)

Is MC's vocal technique still there? (106,406) by Jamie from UK I'm not sure, MC seems to have lost her fluidity and depth of voice, and it doesn't run through the notes as it once did. I'd like to be proved wrong though. (Monday 13 May 2024; 08:35) this is a reply to message 106,402

Is MC's vocal technique still there? (106,402) by Bobby A from United States I was listening to random tracks on four albums today. They were the Mariah Carey, Butterfly, TEOM, and Caution. I chose those four albums because you can tell MC's singing style and voice significantly changed on those four albums. After my listening sessions, I listened to the Made For Me remix snippet. I love her alto voice now. I have always favored altos over sopranos. MC's alto voice is just a sweet divine to my ears. I think she still has her vocal technique that she has always had. So my question to the board is this. Does MC still have her vocal technique? If she were to have a voices battle with Jessie J, would MC win the battle? Beyonce? (Sunday 12 May 2024; 21:11)

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? (Thursday 9 May 2024; 13:48) this is a reply to message 106,377

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)

Autocue (106,330) by Jamie from UK I do worry about Mariah's inability to not do anything without autocue. She has increasingly been seen on stage constantly referring to the autocue, something she never did before, and her latest instagram post about the soul beach festival she can be seen doing the same. Is she in a position where she can't ad-lib a short 15 seconds video or even worse remember the words to her own songs. There could be more to it but just wondering what peoples take on it is. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 08:56)

Daniel Bedingfield (106,329) by Jamie from UK Wow harsh article from back in the day. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 08:51) this is a reply to message 106,321

Daniel Bedingfield (106,321) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands You can read more about this duet here. (Wednesday 1 May 2024; 23:01)

The Butterfly Returns live CD (106,319) by Jamie from UK I can't find it, plus I don't have a cd player or laptop with cd. (Wednesday 1 May 2024; 16:15) this is a reply to message 106,318

The Butterfly Returns live CD (106,318) by Bobby A from United States I just ordered a fan made The Butterfly Returns live CD on Ebay. There are 5/20 copies left. Grab your copy. This is the residency right before The Caution Tour. I think her voice sounded really good back then. I will find out in 3 days. (Tuesday 30 April 2024; 23:11)

Not surprised (106,270) by Jamie from UK I agree, that post from Instagram I put on shows the Mariah she should be, professional, executed and a performer. The diva persona is where she went wrong in my eyes. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 18:33) this is a reply to message 106,269

Not surprised (106,269) by Randy from USA Mary J Blige has 9 Grammys and 2 Oscar nominations. People don't snicker when you say her name. And listen Lee, I think you think I'm arguing for MJB. I'm not. There's not a damn thing Mary can do better than MC. Sing, write, dress, give face. MC wins. What I was saying is that the industry respects her more and that's why she was selected over MC. And again a lot of this is MCs fault. She has Tyra and Heidi Klum on stage doing her makeup. She's more interested in her dullard damsel diva than being an artist. She's laying in bed for a portion of her concert. The optics aren't there for an iconic artist. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 17:33)

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,260) by Jamie from UK Really don't get the whole Taylor Swift thing. She's good but she's not that good. I just do understand why there is so much hype about her. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 13:47) this is a reply to message 106,259

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,259) by Bobby A from United States I often wonder how a Daydream album would sell in 2024 if it was released in 2024. Would it sell a million copies plus during in its first week and break Spotify records? Would Fantasy, One Sweet Day and ABMB break streaming and iTunes records? I picked Daydream because that is when MC's career went into overdrive and her popularity increased. Tortured Poets Department seems to be Taylor Swift's Daydream. Her popularity is so high right now. She could release a David Guetta and Zedd TPD remix album in the Fall and it would sell 1.2 million plus copies too. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 03:07)

Natural Mariah (106,256) by Jamie from UK I just saw this on Instagram. Bit out of season but I love how natural and effortless she is here. She was so cool without even trying to be cool. (Monday 22 April 2024; 18:50)

Instagram comment (106,227) by Jamie from UK Just seen a comment on Instagram saying that Mariah is like a truck driver in heels. It did make me laugh. Not her best look if I'm honest. (Friday 19 April 2024; 18:08)

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,149) by Jamie from UK Mariah and Lenny have been friends for years. I highly doubt they are in a relationship. Rather just media speculation. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 13:09) this is a reply to message 106,143

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,143) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woah finally a high profile relationship and someone who'd understand a star of her calibre. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 03:53)

Mariah and Janet (106,121) by Jamie from UK Yes I prefer The One to Boy but both are no where near as radio friendly as Janet's Jam. Charmbracelet is more of a fans album only, I'm grateful for it as I am with all her work. But I feel at that point when her career had taken a bit of a knock she should have been encouraged to do more radio friendly main stream music to reconnect with the public. Oh and don't get me started on Le register de whistle lol. (Sunday 7 April 2024; 14:34) this is a reply to message 106,119

Mariah and Janet (106,119) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "The One" would have been a better choice. And it was the original choice. The video for Boy was for "The One" but I think the label made her change it because I remember a video where someone asks her about The One and she says something like you should ask the label I want it to be a single. I also love the remix of The One. (Saturday 6 April 2024; 15:20)

Mariah and Janet (106,118) by Jamie from UK Janet's song is far superior than Boy, it's upbeat and catchy. Whilst I like Boy, it lacks something and wasn't radio friendly. (Saturday 6 April 2024; 11:05) this is a reply to message 106,102

Mariah and Janet (106,102) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow have you guys seen this? The video concept is so similar, Japanese futuristic styles, robots, driving in a futuristic city etc. The songs have similar vibes too. (Thursday 4 April 2024; 16:53)
