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

Migrate (103,723) by Zachariah from Croatia Migrate would be a such banger is she only did a cool video like Get Your Number or It's Like That. Something fun. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 09:12)

Qatar (103,696) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she sounded pretty good. (Monday 9 October 2023; 21:20)

I wish she would check closer to me/us in Europe (103,659) by Zachariah from Croatia I never experienced a Christmas show by her and I would really like to. I wish she would come closer. But nevertheless, I am happy that her Christmas music will be playing everywhere (stores, squares, shops). I love it. It really brings me a lot of joy. (Wednesday 4 October 2023; 12:08)

AIWFCIY is a holiday for itself (103,634) by Zachariah from Croatia That song should have its own Christmas, an own holiday. It is just an epic anthem that brings joy and positivity. (Monday 2 October 2023; 13:18)

Where is she? (103,259) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, where is she? What is happening? No news, no nothing. (Wednesday 30 August 2023; 12:08)

Nodules (103,201) by Zachariah from Croatia Let's pray for that. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 20:57) this is a reply to message 103,200

Nodules (103,200) by Edward from USA One can only dream. Many artists have had their nodules treated surgically like Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Adele, Björk, Shirley Manson, Keith Urban, John Mayer and Rod Stewart. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 20:38)

Nodules (103,196) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she got her nodules removed and the news will be her new voice. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 13:42)

Emotionally stiff (103,039) by Zachariah from Croatia I stand behind my words - Butterfly era and everything after is my Mariah era. Everything before - I am bored with it. Hugs. (Wednesday 19 July 2023; 20:52) this is a reply to message 103,037

Emotionally stiff (103,037) by Edward from USA "Daydream was only huge because of Fantasy remix with O.D.B. and One Sweet Day. The rest of the album is just copycat of those two singles." Uh... No. While the O.D.B remix was more popular, I've always preferred her solo version. There are better songs on Daydream than "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day", way better. I won't tell you "copycat my ass" because that would be inappropriate to say on this board, but "Underneath the Stars" is far better than OSD, just to name one. (Wednesday 19 July 2023; 19:07)

Emotionally stiff (103,032) by Zachariah from Croatia I would not agree that she, in 1997, took her clothes of and never put it back on because her voice was "overheating". That sounds a bit harsh and offensive towards her right as woman to dress as she pleases. Especially now in 2023. I would rather see her happy (as in Honey video in racy clothes) then covered up to her neck, looking miserable. I am a lamb since 1990 but I prefer her work from Butterfly era until now. Daydream was only huge because of Fantasy remix with O.D.B. and One Sweet Day. The rest of the album is just copycat of those two singles.

Emotionally stiff (103,022) by Andrew from the UK I believe Music Box was savaged by critics because they just didn't like Mariah: young girl marries the much older, much less attractive, boss of the record company. For love? There's no way to know other than to go off Mariah's representations but given that she is a very unreliable witness/narrator, to say the least, it's dubious. It seemed, to many, like a shrewd calculated move by a conceited climber, so to speak. And the critics went off her. She responded with Daydream and she sat at the Grammy's next to Tommy Mottola looking like a spare at a wedding. What was going through her mind on that night, I wonder? Whatever was going through her mind when she married Tommy, whether for her career or for love, it was a gobsmackingly stupid thing to do for a whole host of reasons that I don't just see in hindsight - I saw them back then as I am sure many here did. But Music Box is a masterpiece of power balladry and bubblegum pop and should stop being disparaged by everyone just because they think it's cool to do so. Admittedly, there is infinitely more nuance to the vocal performance on Daydream, but, c'mon, you aren't really going to claim that Mariah would not have sung Daydream just like Music Box had the pipes not started, er, overheating - which I think must have been the reason Mariah took her clothes off in 1997 and not put them back on since: to cool down. It just made matters even worse, because critics and many fans alike never really forgave the sudden emergence of Long Island Barbie. It's frustrating to think of what could have been had she made different choices. I don't think Mariah as naive as people make out she was. She took several gambles and they backfired. So yes, Music Box was pop-crafted power schmaltz balladry but Whitney did exactly the same and critics loved her. (Tuesday 18 July 2023; 13:58)

Haters & Lambs (102,706) by Zachariah from Croatia I am definitely a lamb, since the age of 10 (1990), all the way today and listening Lovers & Friends performance, I have to say that I think she can still sing, very well, but her problem is her shape - out of breathiness. I go from myself - soon to be 43, not old, but not young either, normal looking body (no belly or floppy muscles), trying to keep my weight in order but I don't run, don´t walk a lot and going up and down the stairs couple of times a bit faster - I am out of breath. I sing for my own pleasure and I noticed I have to really push harder to hold my notes and choruses. We all know Mariah doesn't radiates athletics vibe and I think it is taking its toll. Watching her on stage and trying to move or do any extra movement - panic. That's my opinion. Love from Croatia and forever lamb, Zachariah. (Wednesday 10 May 2023; 21:12)

Maybe an EP or a Maxi Single? (102,600) by Zachariah from Croatia She has [a top] 10 song every year, even a number one. All I want for Christmas is you. Hello? (Friday 21 April 2023; 15:52) this is a reply to message 102,596

Maybe an EP or a Maxi Single? (102,596) by Robert-Anthony from United States Apparently, record labels don't think so either. Who would have thought that Mariah Carey would be without record label? Something ain't right with that picture. Where did MC go wrong from 2015- 2019? I don't think that she ever makes the Hot 100 top 10 ever again. (Friday 21 April 2023; 02:05)

Merry Christmas from Croatia (101,937) by Zachariah from Croatia I love you all and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. (Thursday 22 December 2022; 12:43)

Re: Mariah Carey UK merch (101,347) (101,358) by Zachariah from Croatia They replied today. Yeah, it will be a bit longer. (Wednesday 28 September 2022; 12:57)

Mariah Carey UK merch (101,345) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, did anyone ordered something from Mariah Carey store through Mariah Carey UK store? I ordered Agent M handcuffs 11 days ago - no news from them still. Tried through support mail, nothing. Any help? (Tuesday 27 September 2022; 14:31)

Re: Honey - date release (100,577) (100,579) by Zachariah from Croatia So 26.8. would be correct? My birthday is then and Honey was life changing for me so. (Saturday 25 June 2022; 22:22)

Honey - date release (100,574) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, I have a problem. I always thought that Honey was released on August 26th and now I am seeing on Wikipedia that is says July 29. Which one is it? (Saturday 25 June 2022; 17:34)

I just enjoy the music (100,449) by Zachariah from Croatia I really do. I just enjoy listening to any of her albums and just being appreciative that she is alive and still with us. I don't burden myself with sales, hits, number ones. I just enjoy. Hug from Croatian lamb. (Wednesday 15 June 2022; 13:26)

Sweet sweet energy (100,075) by Zachariah from Croatia I just wanted to say hi from Croatia. Songs are such a sweet sweet energy! (Friday 1 April 2022; 13:16)

Any news (99,972) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, does anyone here has any news or clue what is Mariah preparing regarding new music or album even? (Wednesday 23 March 2022; 15:42)

Re: Butterfly 25th September 16 (99,830) (99,831) by Zachariah from Croatia Are you serious? (Thursday 3 March 2022; 23:01)

Billboard cover (99,826) by Zachariah from Croatia Cover is a big no. It looks like Donna from "Suits", who I adore but she ain't no Mariah. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 13:40)
