Summertime Ball (109,365) by Zachariah from Croatia Again, my post has been edited. I am so annoyed by that. It is missing the word "amazing" and without it, post completely doesn't have the meaning what was ment to have. [Webmaster: If you follow my rules, I won't have to edit your posts.] (Monday 16 June 2025; 10:07) this is a reply to message 109,352

Summertime Ball (109,352) by Zachariah from Croatia I am watching it right now and I am shocked. Who is this person? (Monday 16 June 2025; 00:38)

Was the mv Bianca or Mariah? (109,364) by Nikki from usa I saw at the end something called "Bianca Industries" on the building. So, how many of those men did "Mariah" kill? Looks like she poisoned a lot of them, then there's the blinding, the binding, and dropped from a building. Mariah's slaying people literally, I'm kinda here for it. I wonder if the other videos will tell a story. I'm surprised by the Mr. Beast thing. I know he talked about being in an MC video several weeks ago, but I'm surprised he'd do it if he knew he was getting dissed in it. He's a sensitive type and not the best of people. What he's willing to do for views at the expense of others is pretty bad. (Monday 16 June 2025; 05:04)

Summertime Ball (109,363) by Tevin from USA I wished she would have announced that TD was her new single, before she started singing it. (Monday 16 June 2025; 03:38) this is a reply to message 109,351

Summertime Ball (109,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah left me gagged and on the bathroom floor with her performance. When I saw the stage it had this very long ramp that leads to a centre stage and I was like no way is Mariah walking that well I was damn wrong. First of all I'm so very glad she didn't wear a gown and instead wore a shorter romper dress she looked so pretty and youthful and she wore some sensible shoes. When I tell you I was hyperventilating when Mariah started walking the ramp and not just walk she walked without any help I was screeching because it's so rare nowadays. Not only did she walk, she interacted with the audience, bent down to talk to a little girl, then again to pick up a lamb toy someone threw on stage. She also looked like she wanted to sprint across the stage during the WBT ending but then thought she shouldn't. Mic was on, she sounded great. I also choked when she said during the start of WBT that it was a song of the decade and that she doesn't say that a lot but "tonight I will", I was like yasss queen own your shit.

Summertime Ball (109,355) by Dave from USA Now that is more like it. A little movement. Crowd interaction. Performance confidence. Similar to the early days when in Tokyo or MSG performing Fantasy. (Monday 16 June 2025; 01:26)

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,346) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya that's my view too. And as crazy as it sounds people are now saying Mariah and Sabrina are competing for the song of the summer. It's crazy because who would have thought at this point in her career Mariah would be competing with the newest breakout star. Now don't get me wrong I'm not delusional, Sabrina is killing it on streaming and will probably end up winning by a large margin, because she has a huge label push behind her, her Spotify deal and huge fan base coming from Taylor Swift fans too. But it's so good to see MC still being talked about as a main competition and not just a legacy artist. I'm liking how gamma is handling her as a star and not a legacy artist. I think it's very ambitious to put it out in the world that she's coming for The Beatles' wigs (kidding hahah). So I am keeping hope that it'll be a good era. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 15:50)

Capital's Summer Ball (109,360) by Tevin from USA I agree. She did great. This is the first full Mariah performance that I watched in a few years (not including the COVID performances). I loved the energy. Hopefully she keeps this up and starts adding in more love singing once she's starts building up her confidence. Also, ladies and gentlemen, Mariah Carey can walk.

Capital's Summer Ball (109,353) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I just watched the Summer Ball, and I actually liked it a lot. Almost everything is prerecorded, but it seems like it's her current voice, it's much deeper, she can't belt, but a few high notes here and there. And funny thing is, she actually sang a few notes and frases live, and those live notes, are actually pretty good. I wish she could have the confidence to actually sing, she has to break the barrier soon. She doesn't care if it looks like she is lip synching or not, but she does it a tad bit more believable than in China. She doesn't move her muscles in her face, but at this point I'm affraid it has with botox to do, it's quite strange how emotionless her face has become. She moves a bit more freely, and I actually think her outfit looked modern, almost a bit of a image change from the gowns and the big hair. She was not tacky, it fitted her well, she seemed young, but her own age at the same time, and not desperate to be sexy. I'm quite pleased with the performance. (Monday 16 June 2025; 00:41)

Comments (109,359) by Edward from USA The comments are cracking me up. Many of them about the fact she walked that whole runway by herself. I love the performance, she definitely looked more alive. (Monday 16 June 2025; 03:26)

Capital's Summer Ball (109,358) by Edward from USA I don't think it's about confidence or the lack of it. Confidence alone doesn't magically produce a voice that's no longer there. At this point, it's clear she's not putting herself through that anymore. "The Voice" has always been the centerpiece, but as it's changed, her approach should too. I actually respect that she's working with whatever she has left, no more gimmicks, no wall of background vocals, no smoke and mirrors. Just as is. I think she should keep it simple and lean into the artistry that's still there. Like I said before, chart positions aren't the point anymore. What matters is the music. And right now, we've got a fresh single and a solid video, and that's good enough for me. (Monday 16 June 2025; 02:57) this is a reply to message 109,353

Summertime Ball (109,354) by Edward from USA She walks. It's a miracle. She's probably been hiding from us since 2014. (Monday 16 June 2025; 00:58)

Summertime Ball (109,356) by Bobby A from United States That's my MC. I loved every performance. My favorite was that low note ending on ABMB. Wow. (Monday 16 June 2025; 01:34) this is a reply to message 109,355

She also looked like she wanted to sprint across the stage during the WBT ending but then thought she shouldn't. Mic was on, she sounded great. I also choked when she said during the start of WBT that it was a song of the decade and that she doesn't say that a lot but "tonight I will", I was like yasss queen own your shit.

Remix needed (109,350) by Bobby A from United States Do you think it is too early for the remix? It would be nice for it to drop 4th of July weekend. Cardi B. would be icing on the cake with a HitBoy or Nineteen85 production. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 20:20)

MV thoughts (109,349) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The more I watch the video the more I like it haha because it's hella camp. It makes very little sense but it somehow works and has replay value. What I'm dying at is the fact that Mariah is quite literally doing only glamor shots but the people around her doing the most to make it look like she's doing a lot haha. She's so precious, needs to be protected at all costs. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 17:30)

Mimi in Danger (109,348) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ms Danger or just "Dangerous" itself would be a good album title. Someone said her album is going to be titled Type A and I hope not haha because it sounds like a disease. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 17:29) this is a reply to message 109,347

Mimi in Danger (109,347) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I want that to be her album title. A name that catch people's attention and check her out. Maybe "Mimi: Ms. Danger". (Sunday 15 June 2025; 16:15)

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,345) by Tevin from USA Let's be patient. Maybe they are timing everything. Music drops last week/big radio push so the song can chart. Music video drops this week, which hopefully will make the song chart higher the following week. Video cameos including Mr beast, drops next week, which should push the video even higher. Who knows, it's just a guess, maybe maybe they are playing the long game, slow burner here. We have to remember that in today's musical landscape, younger audiences play the biggest part, and unless it's Christmas related, Mariah isn't just going to shoot to the top anymore on the charts. Let's see how everything goes, before we start speaking doom and gloom. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 14:57)

He never post or repost it. I visit his channel and yes it is true that all his videos have high views, his latest video has 70 million views in just 7 days. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 09:09)

Start guessing (109,344) by MusicfanJ from Germany The video really feels like a combination of It's Like That, Boy, Breakdown and Get Your Number. It just ends too early. So now I know who this Mr. Beast is. Thanks to the webmaster and wiki. I would have preferred Mr. Bean. Lol. But seriously this YouTuber is for the kindergarten out there. He looks strange with his vest. The video also looks a bit like a commercial for perfume with all the male models. But compared to "I don't" it's pure art. Plus the song is super catchy, just too short. Overall it's way better than the last ones. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 14:40) this is a reply to message 109,322

Start guessing (109,322) by Lara from Middle East Let's try play the game of guessing the Mr in the video. Mr player: Derek Jeter Mr dancer: Bryan Tanaka Mr traitor: Nick cannon Mr dealer: Parker? Was that his name? (I'm forgetful ) Mr beast: I don't know him literally, had to ask my kids about it. Also did anyone else got vibes from so many different videos she's already done? It's like that, Thank God I found you remix, With you, Boy. Just to name a few (Saturday 14 June 2025; 22:39)

Bill (109,343) by Bill from the UK Aww you guys stop. Thank you for the nice words and nice to see you posting again Dove. Great to see a number of OGs come back like T-Dang created some sort of seance or something. As for the video... eh. Have we really got to the point where we're suggesting they should use AI to animate Mariah? With her vocals likely being incredibly souped up as well what would be left of the Mariah of 1990? Come on. Yes she looks flawless but I stand by my lamentation from a few weeks back that something is really not right with her if she is unable to move anymore. If she came to us and said "hey lambs, I'm suffering with [insert neurological disorder] and have been since 2008" then we'd all be applauding her efforts to keep herself out there and current rather than scratching our heads. Like everyone else I have no idea who Mr Beast is. Were the other men in the video famous too? I've not really paid attention to the mainstream since like 2005 so I've no idea who anyone is. I thought Dua Lipa was that language app with the psychotic owl. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 11:53) this is a reply to message 109,329

Bill (109,329) by Dove from United States I used to come on here a looong time ago and I still think about you guys sometimes. No one posted their pictures back then so I had my own mental image of what everyone looked like. Bill was one of my favorites, but in my mind he looked like the dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. So when I saw that handsome face I was just super surprised. If I was still young enough to have kids, I would totally have a kid for you Bill. Smart, funny, kind, and handsome? That’s rare.

One more observation (109,341) by Bobby A from United States I know her team and Gamma have a plan and I trust that they have the success for MC16 already worked out. I am going to let this new era unfold as it happens. Great things are on the way for MC. MC is not the only legacy artist who doesn't chart on the Hot 100 like they used to. OMG was Usher's last number #1 in 2009 and Scream was his last top 10 hit in 2012. Good Good from his current album on Gamma only got as high as #25 on the Hot 100.

One more observation (109,335) by Shezz from Pk 1. Because she wants chart success and they control the charts, not us. 2. I think she also likes to remain "current" and "contemporary". Doesn't always translate well though with the audience. If any of the younger artists released TD it'd shoot straight to the top. 3. Part of her whole "eternally 12" shtick. I still can't believe she's done a grown ass ballad with Barbra. So intrigued to hear how she sounds there with her current voice. That even next to Barbra and Ariana. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 04:57)
