About Carlos from Brazil: Happy brazilian lamb!

Missing studio pics solved (107,972) by Carlos from Brazil Although it is almost impossible for Mariah to ever be shady to Beyoncé, according to this interview where Mariah said her concept was stolen, Beyoncé's album was dropped two months before that.

Missing studio pics solved (107,963) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Refresh my memory please, did Taylor ever drop a demo version for that first? I can't remember, I didn't use to keep up with TS back then. But I remember her name being in the mix along with Beyoncé about who Mariah could be referring to. I know even later down the line people said she copied Mariah's "from the vault" visual. Where originally Mariah did some "from the vault" release and then Taylor used a similar visual for her re-record series? But Covid wiped out my memory so clearly I am missing chunks.

Missing studio pics solved (107,971) by Carlos from Brazil Oh gosh. I had to google the "bathroom floor" crisis since you mentioned it haha. Those were the days. I was so glad to find out there was a publication about it on Vulture Magazine. (Monday 13 January 2025; 12:50) this is a reply to message 107,962

Missing studio pics solved (107,962) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I think even as a lamb that would have been too much for me. It baffles me why a story teller like Mariah has such weak videos. Speaking of JD, I am reminded of the Facebook TAOLG release and how it ended up being the wrong version and Mariah wrote her iconic "I'm on the bathroom floor" meltdown post.

Passion (107,829) by Carlos from Brazil Mimi L. not you dragging Steflon Don hahaha I almost passed out. (Monday 23 December 2024; 14:46) this is a reply to message 107,822

Passion (107,822) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm dead, not an another cookie and beverage. Hahaha. Ya I really love that her recent collabs have been with young female artists. Especially her accepting Ariana (who has always fangirled over her). Previously Mariah had an image that she's jealous of younger female artists (which I'm sure is annoying for her because she really lives in her own world and has only ever reacted because people keep trying to compare everyone to her or as her new replacement). So I'm glad she's now confident enough to embrace her role as "mother" (the gen z version for icon, not a real mother haha) and has harmonized in whistles twice with Ariana, worked with Latto (even after Latto originally said she didn't know about Fantasy) and so on. I love her in women empowerment or bad bitch type songs (yall know what I mean) so I would love some more of those with female collabs and ofcourse some fresh male collabs too. And when I saw collabs I mean relevant people not Steflon Don and all the other people she collaborated with that adds no value to me. (Sunday 22 December 2024; 19:41)

Seriously? (107,739) by Carlos from Brazil Very well said Mimi L. Slaying per usual. (Tuesday 3 December 2024; 12:22) this is a reply to message 107,735

Seriously? (107,735) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The key word/phrase is "majority of her success". So not all of her success is contained in the 90s. The list isn't for "who peaked in the 21st century". Mariah wasn't irrelevant in the 21st century. She had a second song of the decade, she had multiple #1s, she broke multiple records including becoming the the artist with the most #1's, she is probably the only artist who ended and started multiple years at the #1 position, 7 top 5 albums , 11 top 20 singles, multiple accolades and other stuff I can remember at this point of time. Also AIW single handedly is responsible for how now more and more artists make Christmas albums early on into their careers. And what do you mean she's not a pop star? Of course she is. Pop isn't only bubblegum pop, it's any artist/music that has been popular at a certain point of time, Billboard named her the greatest popstar of 1991. Anyways all of this to say I'm not saying she should top the list, could have been one of the honourable mentions. (Monday 2 December 2024; 22:10)

Brazil concert (107,405) by Carlos from Brazil I will never forget. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 13:30) this is a reply to message 107,402

Brazil concert (107,402) by Libra Lamb from USA So happy for you Carlos. Sounds like an unforgettable experience. Glad you got to see her live. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 07:18)

Brazil concert (107,404) by Carlos from Brazil The song was definitely fueled by a soap opera that was quite popular at the time called "Viver a Vida". The song was the theme for the character called Luciana who got on to live on a wheelchair after an accident. Her story is quite dramatic and she has a romantic relationship that was very beautiful and the song played on almost every scene she was. That is the main reason. The second is that Mariah is really loved here for those arena ballads. There are many older fans and older people in general here that really prefers her singing "Without You", "Hero" and I guess IWKWLI was a return for her ballader days and a less R&B/urban sound. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 13:30) this is a reply to message 107,400

Brazil concert (107,400) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. You know she had to give a special surprise at the end and sing her signature song there. I often wonder why IWTKWLI resonated so with the citizens of Brazil back in 2009-2010. Carlos, do you know why? It had 27 weeks at number #1. It will probably always be the biggest song of her career in Brazil. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 20:24)

Brazil concert (107,399) by Carlos from Brazil It was absolutly a surreal experience. I felt like I was leaving my body. I've been a fan for 20 years so to see her in person was a life changing moment. I felt like she was like really real. Her voice is so pretty, her songwriting is awesome and she is one of the prettiest women ever. The Brazilian outfit and the butterfly dress is now iconic. I went to the São Paulo concert and it was as amazing as the Rock in Rio show, even better. Her Portuguese is cute. She came back for the IWKWLI without her shoes haha. 50k people singing with her. It was the happiest day of my life. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 17:58) this is a reply to message 107,388

Brazil concert (107,388) by Tevin from USA How was the concert? (Monday 23 September 2024; 16:11)

Brazil concert (107,366) by Carlos from Brazil Guys, I am losing my mind thinking in just one day I will see Mariah live for the first time. I feel very blessed and I hope all the Brazilian lambs have the most amazing time. I also think she will deliver a historical performance at Rock in Rio. I will only attend the São Paulo concert. For you guys to see Rock in Rio live it will be available to stream on Globoplay. (Thursday 19 September 2024; 13:21)

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,285) by Carlos from Brazil Your message was so powerful. Thank you for this. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 13:14) this is a reply to message 107,284

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,284) by Brad from USA The day one loses their mother is the worst day of a person's life. No matter the circumstance of their communications at the time. It ends an entire part of your life irretrievably, divests one of the purest of loves and can dull the sense of what life is and holds moving forward. But things do continue on, even if all the colors of life are forever muted. I know this because I lost my beloved mother nearly two years ago. And this is how it has felt for me to continue forward. I cannot speak to what it is like to have such loss compounded by the loss of another family member such as a sibling. I think most of us can only imagine the sense of unmitigated sadness and loss. I hope we can all be the better of who we are and only offer MC the unspoken words of support and unparalleled love she has always sensed from all of us, the truest of her forever fans. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 04:03)

Bye Bye (107,231) by Carlos from Brazil Bye Bye is currently rising on TikTok. I guess you show a loved one as the music plays. It also sparked a rise on Spotify streams at around 110k per day. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 13:09) this is a reply to message 107,227

Migrate (107,227) by Randy from USA You know I'm on team Bye Bye so I could care less about a viral Migrate moment. I never knew it. Everyday of my life. I wish. I wish I wish I wish as time goes by. Wait. I have an idea. All great TikTokers that sing can sing that final ad-lib and get cute little kids to come out from behind them and wave bye bye to the camera and sing the backing parts. Now that's a viral moment. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 21:40)

Jessie Ware Lightning (106,821) by Carlos from Brazil I don't know if you guys are familiar with this UK singer called Jessie Ware. She has a song called "Lightning" and it's absolutely beautiful. I think Mariah would eat it up. It's R&B but very modern, chic, elegant and soulful. Give it a listen and imagine Mariah doing it. (Monday 1 July 2024; 14:07)

Mariah concert in Brasil (106,596) by Carlos from Brazil I am really happy to share with you guys that I got my tickets for the Mariah concert in Brasil. I didn't got the tickets for Rock in Rio but for her solo concert which is even better. Who is coming? It appears to be selling fast. (Tuesday 4 June 2024; 19:25)

Yellow dress at Aruba (106,552) by Carlos from Brazil That dress is really everything. I don't know about the Met Gala because I feel the dress is a little too simple for that but for a tropical concert it was perfect. She gave Carmen Miranda vibes with the sandals too. Since she is coming to Brazil this year I hope she continues with this island/sunny looks. Also the hair and make up was very beautiful. I am super excited she is coming here guyyysss. It will be my first concert of hers. (Monday 27 May 2024; 13:25) this is a reply to message 106,548

Yellow dress at Aruba (106,548) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Don't you guys think the yellow dress that she wore at the Aruba concert would be perfect for the Met Gala 2024 with the theme The Garden of Time. I think it would be perfect. Maybe it's just me. (Monday 27 May 2024; 05:40)

Portrait remixes (106,513) by Carlos from Brazil I agree, unfortunately when Mariah belts I feel a "childlike tone" that I don't know how to explain. Like she is trying to make her voice "sound young" but it comes out strained and screechy. (Friday 24 May 2024; 13:17) 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)

Made for Me remix (106,475) by Carlos from Brazil I think with "Yes And" they made the song super loud and with Made for Me I felt the opposite. Mariah is fading behind Muni in the chorus. Like an echo. I also felt the whistles were off, dry and weak. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 13:14)

Autocue (106,331) by Carlos from Brazil I noticed that on instagram but honestly it's probably laziness. I bet they wrote the words on a cardboard in the middle of her concert and made her read the lines on a good lighting. It's not like she rehearsed the thing and kept forgotting. I know it's not your point but as hysterical as the people here are they are going to diagnose Mariah with Alzheimer in the next posts. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 13:20) this is a reply to message 106,330

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)

Lipsynch (106,209) by Carlos from Brazil Since Mariah apparently is lipsynching that much, has anyone ever did a compilation video with her vocals on the same songs sounding exactly the same? I mean, honestly asking. Because I imagine she doesn't have a different version for every song on every show night. Curious. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 13:21)

The new show (106,174) by Carlos from Brazil I think if I was in Mariah's situation as a singer/legend with the most difficult songs ever done to sing live I would also use my pre recorded vocals just as she seems to be doing. Looks and sounds like she is using vocals from this year maybe recorded in a studio to be used on tour. As WW used to say. It's still her voice, you know she can sing. (Monday 15 April 2024; 13:36)

Happy anniversary Mariah (106,047) by Carlos from Brazil Wishing all the blessing upon our supreme artist. You are a legend Mariah. We love you. (Wednesday 27 March 2024; 14:12)

Rockin Rio (106,012) by Carlos from Brazil Yeeesss, and hopefully I will see her live here for the first time. I am beyond ecxited. (Tuesday 19 March 2024; 12:18) this is a reply to message 106,011

Rockin Rio (106,011) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is headed back to Brazil on September 22. She looks good and excited in her X video. I just have one question about the video. Is she wearing hair extensions? Her hair looks longer in this video. (Tuesday 19 March 2024; 11:54)

There goes my heart again (105,969) by Carlos from Brazil I saw that too. I am also in line to be fooled. Taylor usually brings new guests to the new TV albums so maybe Mariah on End Game? Have you guys noticed a bug on Spotify where "Yes and" is now Mariah's most popular song with more than 200 million plays? (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 13:13) this is a reply to message 105,966

There goes my heart again (105,966) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so, we all know these insider accounts have messed with our heads. A bunch of stuff they mentioned turned out to be false like a YAR MV, a YAR live performance the day after release, a strong promo plan for YAR to go to #1. Then of course there are rumors about Cardi and all but we'll see where it goes. But in the last few days I see there has been a few new posts indicating Mariah. First was a Butterfly emoji with the words "this March". The account uses Butterfly to indicate Mariah. Then it says MC and Janet Jackson are in the talks of a collaboration and the latest one with a hashtag rumor is a butterfly and snake emoji. Snake is usually now Taylor's avatar for reputation. There's also a post about her having special guests at the Vegas shows. So I am prepared to be hurt again. Join me. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 02:53)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,875) by Carlos from Brazil "And none for Gretchen Weiners." Hahaha. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 12:03) this is a reply to message 105,871

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,871) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I can appreciate her desire to stay private and not post studio photos until things are close to ready, same could have been done about all the projects she said are going to release any moment in the last 2-3 years. In the last few years things we got from her were actually things she never even alluded to like Rarities, Latto and Ariana. Forgive my impatience haha I see so many releases being announced and none from Mariah. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 00:45)

Time of release UK (105,482) by Carlos from Brazil Are the lyrics about Tanaka? Maybe? Lol. (Friday 16 February 2024; 14:38) this is a reply to message 105,481

Time of release UK (105,481) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits? (Friday 16 February 2024; 13:56)

Yes, and? (105,474) by Carlos from Brazil I am gonna play it until my battery runs off and I really like the song but I believe people are divided. Twitter stans are hating. I personally love uptempo vogue dancey tracks so that's why I liked it so much but I think the general public is finally realizing that Mariah's voice has changed. Ariana is like the fourth most listened singer on Spotify so that will bring a lot of attention to Mariah and her voice. I am curious about what you guys think. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:02)
