About MusicfanJ from Germany: I'm a fan of Mariah since Daydream came out.

Gucci Christmas ad (114,882) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely can't relate to this ad. The people look really strange. I had to think about the movie (the women from Stepford) lol. I always find artificial looking people a bit scary indeed. Mariah should have used this for Halloween. But seriously, this kind of ad is one reason why the image is like it is. The "It's time" video is way better, even with the perfume ad. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 13:08) this is a reply to message 114,873

Gucci Christmas ad (114,873) by D from United States It does feel strange. It was weird how the bellboy was shown at the end. Why? To show us that regular working people aren't welcome in the club? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the whole thing felt strange. I appreciate pretty clothes, pretty rooms, and pretty people. Not necessarily cookie-cutter pretty. I like interesting faces, too, like you see in older movies. But a lot of the people in this ad don't look human. Who are these people? I think they were trying to portray her as a queen, and I absolutely consider Mariah Carey American royalty. But something about it just felt off. It didn't feel like a "good" kind of royalty. I hate to say anything negative about Mariah. She looked really pretty. But is this who she is? It can't be. I don't think people automatically lose their humanity just because they become wealthy. There are plenty of rich people who have managed to hold on to their humanity. Don't hate on me for this, but I have a conspiracy theory. What if someone drugs wealthy and influential people to make them easier to control? I was watching a documentary about "passport bros" who travel to other countries looking for women. Apparently, scopolamine (Devil's Breath) is sometimes used to drug and rob men. It made me wonder whether darker people behind the scenes could get wealthy and influential people addicted to drugs as a way of controlling them. It wouldn't be the first time we've heard allegations of something like that. For example, Diddy's former security reportedly talked about a plan to get the girls in Danity Kane hooked on drugs so they could be exploited. I've been a Mariah Carey fan since I was a little kid, when she first came out. I feel like I know her through her music. I've always felt that she's a light soul. She's human, and I'm sure she sometimes makes the wrong choices or aligns herself with the wrong people. But for the most part, I've always believed she's a good soul. I don't know. Something about this just feels so off. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 06:32)

Gucci advert (114,867) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't like the clip/advert. I thought the same, it looks extreme artificial even for a commercial. I'm sorry, but I really don't feel it. Plus I can't connect with Gucci. Lol. Remember the commercials from Japan in the 90ies? They were fun and enjoyable. (Monday 2 November 2026; 20:17) this is a reply to message 114,864

Gucci advert (114,864) by John from USA Oh my. That's really sad. On another note: looks like they cast people that look less human than Mariah to make her look as normal as possible (just a few more notches less odd than the people on Madonna's Drowned World/Substitute for Love MV).

Article: Mariah goes punk before declaring "It's Time" for Christmas (114,852) by MusicfanJ from Germany What do you all think of this clip? I was surprised. So that was the meaning of Mariah's hint? Mariah the punk chick, and then the Christmas MC. Is this a song from the hidden grunge album SUD? (Sunday 1 November 2026; 19:38)

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,851) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I agree too. I liked the intro with Fabolous but with Busta it was just too much going on. At the end of the song it became almost funny with Busta's "mission". Lol. I remember when I first listened to it with my best friend back then and we had to laugh because of Busta Ryhmes on it. Maybe DJ Clue just thought it was cool, I don't know. I have to revisit the song. I like the original and I love that Mariah loves the 80ies song as well and did a cover of it.

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,850) by BFF from US There were some promo singles with multiple "Radio Edits" of the song. I'm surprised they didn't surface for the anniversary. I totally agree about the excessive rap verses. I think the Fabolous verse was fine, but Busta Rhymes was straight up irritating and should have been left off. (Sunday 1 November 2026; 18:44)

Lead the way (1997) (114,843) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm absolutely blown away by this. I mean I love "Lead the way" but this version is so brilliant too. I hear "Daydream Mariah" singing 'Lead the way". Unbelievable. What a wonderful gift to hear this version. (Saturday 31 October 2026; 20:14)

JAY-Z / Beyonce / Diddy (114,812) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't want to see Mariah with a rapper on stage this year. She did songs and remixes with almost everyone from the Hip Hop scene. But I don't need Jay-Z with Mariah on stage. I would prefer Mariah only or if she share's the stage with someone please with another singer. When I was a teen I listened to Hip Hop like so many at that time. I didn't understand most of the lyrics, except some parts. Most lyrics are disgusting and hard to listen to now. I prefer clean lyrics. Lol. Or at least more clever and not the cheap, bad language from many rappers. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 18:03) this is a reply to message 114,810

JAY-Z / Beyonce / Diddy (114,810) by nancy from Switzerland A performance with Jay-Z would (somehow) be a good idea. But I don't know if they are still friends. Jay-Z according to Internet has problems with the law. I am not so good informed. If someone has more [info] please let us know. I remember [the] Heartbreaker remix. This song was really nice. I was listening to it all the time. Also MC did not mention the collaborations with Diddy, the white parties she and other artist were invited to. etc. These scandals don't bring Mariah in a positive light. And most of all it is better for her to be surrounded by honest and positive people. I really love those collabos, but hearing those songs today makes me sad. How badly [these] rappers treat women. (Maybe not all.) Another thing is Beyonce. She made a [remix] for Break My Soul (The queens remix.) In this remix Beyonce named a lot of rnb artists. Mariah was not mentioned. I mean really? How can you forget Mariah? It gives me the feeling that she's not getting along with the [Carter] family. I think they have a toxic energy. Let me know what you think about this Thanks to all.

More thoughts about this (114,748) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bambi vibe. I love it. "Early Mariah had a combination of innocence, vulnerability, sweetness, and quiet sensuality. She looked doe-eyed in interviews, then she'd sing those impossible notes like it was easy. Like a goddess." Absolutely, she was simply the best. That combination made her so special and loveable. Alfter Glitter it went too much into the diva direction. But that's just my personal view. I always loved the more natural Mariah. I have to google the woman you mentioned for playing Mariah, I've never heard of her. I have a feeling there won't be a bio-pic about MC, not so soon.

More thoughts about this (114,745) by D from United States Whoever gets chosen to play Mariah in a movie would have to lip-sync. No one should even attempt to sing like Mariah. The reason I like Victoria Justice is because her cheekbones remind me of her, and she has that Bambi vibe Mariah had from her debut album up until Glitter. After that, the glamorous persona (Ginger) came out, and we never saw the girl-next-door again. Early Mariah had a combination of innocence, vulnerability, sweetness, and quiet sensuality. She looked doe-eyed in interviews, then she'd sing those impossible notes like it was easy. Like a Goddess. Whoever plays her would have to nail Mariah's mannerisms: the shy little smiles, the way she laughs when she's being cheeky, the hand gestures, and her slightly awkward, girlish humor. The voice can be dubbed, but the personality has to feel real. Who do you guys think could play her? Also, Keke Palmer could play Whitney in the MC biopic. She captures her essence. I've read other people say Keke should play Whitney in a biopic about Whitney but I think she could play Whitney in Mariah's biopic too. (Friday 23 October 2026; 15:57)

Gliiter cd (114,724) by MusicfanJ from Germany Fantastic. I love my Blu Ray player. To watch all the movies on DVD and Blu Ray are so much fun. I have more DVD's than Blu Rays, but the DVD's are looking great on it, even the older ones. I just watched "The Walk" and "Harry and Sally". Lol. So next movies will be "Glitter" and "Mean Girls".

Gliiter cd (114,723) by Jamie from UK I just got myself a new blue ray player, I have so many DVDS I'm enjoying watching them again. I need to get a CD player now. (Tuesday 20 October 2026; 10:19)

Gliiter cd (114,710) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have it on CD too. And the movie on DVD. I think I will play the Loverboy single a lot with the cool remixes to make the wait shorter. (Monday 19 October 2026; 12:56) this is a reply to message 114,707

Gliiter cd (114,707) by Bobby A from United States How many of you actually have Glitter on CD? Have you been listening to it this month? I have found another used copy today at a store which is a rare find. This stuff is starting now. Lol. What other Glitter celebrations will you doing during these last 12 days? I am going to watch Glitter next Saturday. (Monday 19 October 2026; 00:27)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth." That's true, fantastic singers and women. You're right Mary also seems very nice and relatable. I loved her duet with George Michael. This kind of music is missing nowadays. I know what you mean, when I say that I love Mariah's music the first comment is always, oh she's such a diva and so on. Every time. It's frustrating that this is always the first comment. Mariah had always a mystical aura, compared with her stunning voice and the divaness it really worked in the 90ies. She was also shy and confident, the mix was super sweet. But we all know there was a change with the image and it wasn't so good sadly. We fans know she's more than only a diva. But the public image is always about being a diva. Maybe with the grunge album Mariah could show them that there's more. For me she'll always be the best (even with the voice changed) her music catalogue is insane. There will never be another Mariah.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,686) by nancy from Switzerland I think Mary J Blige still today has a powerful voice. Her songs are meaningful, and deep. Often she sings about difficult situations in life, Self acceptance etc. She also had her struggles. Especially to women, she gives mental strength. In my opinion that makes her very likeable and relatable. You feel understood. What I like about her is, that on interviews she is very humble and down to earth sometimes even a bit shy. She also made a lot of duets with other artists. Not only rappers. She does not have that divaish, I am better than you aura, which Mariah often has (not always). Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth. Although they all are enormously rich and talented. Mariah sometimes does have this image that the world owes her something on a silver tablet. The voice of these women also are super. Currently (we must be realistic) is better than Mariah's voice. Sorry. When I talk about those artists, people understand why I am a fan of them. When I talk about Mariah the people show me an aversion for her. (Monday 12 October 2026; 15:12)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,685) by MusicfanJ from Germany I kind of agree, but Mariah is not like Mary J Blidge at all. Mary is just a cool rnb singer and was never more. Which is fine. She was never on the same level with Mariah (fame, records, artistry and of course the voice). Only Whitney and Celine had that kind of level, the voiced trinity. Mariah is a living legend, not only known for rnb but for pop history with one of the best voices ever. But her image has suffered, for all the reasons that were talked on this board. Mariah can also leave the "Christmas road" if she wants to. Doing a duets album, jazz, gospel or simply pop with soul elements. She just needs to be more relatable again, she's hiding so much and that's her good right and her choice. But the people love if an artist is more open like Céline was. Yes, she said she was not supposed to make "HFIA". But I don't understand why? Because of the age, the business for what reason? Anyone can explain it to me.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,684) by nancy from Switzerland For me is clear that she doesn't care anymore to enlarge her fanbase or achieve good chart positions. She does not have the motivation, the stamina, the ideas and most of all the voice anymore and last but not least some health issues. I guess she wants to be like MJB and stick to RnB and want to be remembered for the old achievements. She sticks with what she knows and what worked in the past years. A little renewal with anniversary items of her former albums and Christmas and non resung remixes of her former songs. Nothing more. Nothing challenging. That obviously still gives her a good salary to survive her expensive lifestyle. In her album [Here for it] all in the thank you part is written you're not supposed to make this record and speaks about locked doors. I guess this is a clear statement. There are a lot of Rnb artists which stick to the old and same stuff. Brandy , Alicia Keys etc. I guess that we have to accept it. While Madonna builds bridges with new artists, Mariah stagnates and is happy with her still remaining fanbase, her staff who applaude her, even in bad performances . (Monday 12 October 2026; 13:03)

Fantasy track list (114,613) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a wonderful tracklist. I love all the classics. Timeless music with heart and soul. Mariah and "Summertime" would be very interesting. It's one of the best songs ever and hard to cover. But Mariah and covers are a "dream team". Lately I've been listening a lot to The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony". What a classic from the late 90ies. It's still so good and always will be. (Wednesday 30 September 2026; 19:44) this is a reply to message 114,610

Fantasy track list (114,610) by D from United States I know inspiration doesn't always flow all the time for artists but I would be happy with an album of covers. A concept album of really good songs from the past that fit her current voice. She always makes the songs she covers her own and puts so much emotion into them. I'd like to hear more in her lower range too. For this, I wouldn't even want huge publicity around it. It could be an album (or albums) she releases quietly. I know I'm greedy in regards of Mariah but I can't help it. She's already given us so much, but I want more. I really liked My Prayer and think she could travel down that vein more. My track list: Unforgettable - Nat King Cole It's Magic - Dinah Washington Stardust - Nat King Cole I Only Have Eyes for You - The Flamingos Just My Imagination - The Temptations Summertime - Ella Fitzgerald Life Is but a Dream - Dion Since I Don't Have You - The Skyliners Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - The Platters Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers The Impossible Dream - Roberta Flack Bonus: not like the others, but I love them: The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley (Wednesday 30 September 2026; 02:35)

Ugh (114,577) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's what I thought too. The pic doesn't give Christmas vibes. Lol. A bit too much of, well you allready said it. I liked her Halloween video last year, that was really cool and entertaining. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 20:50) this is a reply to message 114,571

Ugh (114,571) by Stacey from USA Doesn't bother me per se. I always look forward to her "it's time" videos after Halloween. What does (caps) bother me is the "girls" making their grand entrance. Honestly, enough. Zip up a bit more. I'm tired of her trying to give away the farm. I'm not interested. (Tuesday 22 September 2026; 19:23)

Wonderful idea (114,564) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Hay dream". Lol. I love it. Yes, the sings are there, that's the reason for all the changes. (Friday 18 September 2026; 11:00) this is a reply to message 114,560

Wonderful idea (114,560) by Bill from the UK Eddie, you are onto something. The signs have been there for years, how did we not notice Mariah was gradually heading in this direction? I feel like such a fool. The curly brown hair to the blonde wigs. The impressive diva voice to the more simplistic and straight forward approach. The steady enlargement of her bust. As one country superstar sadly leaves us, another emerges from her cocoon. What will the album be called? Butterbean? Hay Dream? Merry Christmas y'all? We await with baited breath. (Thursday 17 September 2026; 19:05)

Choosin' Texas / Country (114,556) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha, yes it's clear. Don't worry, MC won't release a Country album. I just meant she is able to do every genre, that's very rare. I liked "Help me make it through the night" a lot and "Right to dream". I never thought I would hear songs from her in country style so I was absolutely surprised. And then she told us about "SUD". Lol. I also love different genres, it just depends on my mood. I'm just a bit tired of the Hip Hop meets RnB thing. I was happy that on "HFIA" it wasn't "overpresented". (Tuesday 15 September 2026; 11:12) this is a reply to message 114,554

Choosin' Texas / Country (114,554) by Stacey from USA Oh heck no to the country thing. It didn't work for Beyonce and it won't work for MC. Oh heck to the no. I hope my thoughts are as clear as mud, lol. (Monday 14 September 2026; 19:25)

Choosin' Texas / Country (114,550) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think she won't do Country. But she can, if she wants to. Her Country album would be awesome. Yes, other artists just did it for the trend. Mariah's "Tennessee" was way before this trend. But I can really see her doing jazz. "Lullaby of Birdland" made me want a jazz album so bad. It would also suit her "diva play" and her voice. So much room for being creative and playful in jazz. Plus as a born New Yorker she could name it "my NY sessions", or simply "my NY stories", something like that. Her admired Marilyn Monroe loved jazz so Mariah give it a another try. (Monday 14 September 2026; 10:55) this is a reply to message 114,549

Choosin' Texas / Country (114,549) by nancy from Switzerland I don't see Mariah doing Country music. She has to follow her heart and do what she likes best. And most of all being authentic. Many artists like Beyonce change from genre to genre just to stay relevant. She already had done a few Country songs for the movie Tennessee. (Sunday 13 September 2026; 17:56)

Choosin' Texas No.1 for 21 weeks (114,544) by MusicfanJ from Germany I didn't know the song. I went to YouTube and listened to it. I like it. A relaxed song with no cheap lyrics. I even enjoyed the video. Is is a wow song? No. But compared to all the latest garbage on the charts it's a wonderful, nice song that gives you a good mood while listening. This woman and Olivia Dean makes me hopeful that the time of only vulgar music and videos in the charts are over or at least are not the only way to get a hit nowadays.

Choosin' Texas No.1 for 21 weeks (114,543) by Zachariah from Croatia I can't say I'm terribly surprised that Choosin' Texas is sitting at number one in week 21. The U.S. isn't exactly famous for subtlety or sophisticated storytelling. Throw in a cowboy, a pickup truck, a country song, a doomed-but-passionate love story, a few rednecks and enough "y'all" to go around, and you've pretty much got the winning formula. This is basically a prequel of country We Belong Together, or in country vocabulary, it's like that y'all. Just imagine Mariah and Eric Roberts getting married in a barn and a pick-up truck pulls outside and you can see Mariah pulling her wedding dress and running in her country high heel boots with yee-haw whistle note.

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,537) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great post. I enjoyed it a lot. Your thoughts are one point and very interesting. I also prefer "Clown". It's way more intelligent and playful. "Clown" is a favourite from Charmi. (Tuesday 8 September 2026; 14:33) this is a reply to message 114,532

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,532) by karel from belgie Clown and Obsessed may both deal with a man whom Mariah believes has an inflated sense of himself and uses her name for attention, but the way she approaches that subject in each song is completely different. In Clown, she takes a more psychological approach. Rather than launching a direct attack, she tries to understand why this person behaves the way he does, suggesting that his arrogance is really a cover for insecurity. The title itself is telling. She doesn't portray him as an enemy, but as a clown, someone who ultimately makes a fool of himself. One of the things I love about the song is how she exposes him without ever sounding bitter or vindictive. She paints a picture of someone trying hard to appear important and intimidating, while making it clear that she sees right through the act. As a result, the song feels mature, intelligent, and quietly devastating. She doesn't sound angry. She sounds disappointed and mildly amused, which makes the criticism hit even harder. Obsessed, on the other hand, takes the exact opposite approach. The entire song revolves around the idea that this person is supposedly obsessed with her. The hook repeats that message over and over, and the mockery is much more obvious. Where Clown allows the listener to draw their own conclusions, Obsessed practically spells everything out for them. Musically, the contrast is just as striking. Clown is built around a smooth, understated R&B production that leaves plenty of room for the lyrics and the vocals. The focus is on what she's saying. Obsessed shifts the attention toward the beat, the catchy chorus, and the playful attitude. It's constructed as a major pop single, whereas Clown feels more like a personal statement. What I find particularly interesting is how much Clown relies on irony. Mariah never has to outright tell the listener that this man is pathetic. You figure that out on your own through the way she describes him. In Obsessed, the judgment is much more direct and explicit. Because of that, the songwriting feels less sophisticated and more like a reaction in the heat of the moment. Even vocally, the difference is significant. On Clown, Mariah uses a warm, controlled, and mature vocal performance. She sounds confident because she has nothing to prove. On Obsessed, the vocals become part of the attitude and humor of the track. The production effects and heavily processed sound fit the song's playful tone, but they also distract from what was once her greatest strength: her ability to carry a song through pure vocal expression. "Clown" is Mariah dissecting her opponent with subtlety, observation, and intelligence. "Obsessed" is Mariah publicly mocking that same opponent through a catchy pop hit. Or, to put it even more bluntly: "Clown" lets the listener discover why the man is a clown. "Obsessed" simply shouts it from the rooftops. And that's why I believe Clown is the stronger and more timeless song. (Monday 7 September 2026; 23:14)

New music (114,536) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. Plus she was always a pop genius. I wonder how long it will take with the release of "SUD". So many people would be surprised in a positive way. And the fans would love it for sure. Daydream Mariah with grunge, you must love it. (Tuesday 8 September 2026; 14:26) this is a reply to message 114,530

New music (114,530) by karel from belgie I think Mariah needs to move away from the predictable, slow R&B sound. Some of her best tracks have always been the house and techno remixes, so why keep those styles limited to remixes? Why not make them the main versions of the songs? I'm currently listening to We Found Love by Rihanna and Calvin Harris, and honestly, I think Mariah could still pull off that kind of uplifting dance music. Her voice would work beautifully with that style. It also reminds me of Now That I Know from Music Box. That song was such a breath of fresh air and showed a different, more playful side of her artistry. And yes, I'm absolutely in favor of her finally releasing Someone's Ugly Daughter. That's the Mariah I miss: creative, adventurous, and willing to take risks. It's a shame she didn't release it alongside the Daydream anniversary celebrations. Imagine getting it as part of a Daydream 31 edition. Now that would have been something special. (Monday 7 September 2026; 22:49)

Here For It All one year later (114,515) by MusicfanJ from Germany Please no for the AI thing. I will always support Mariah but I won't buy AI music. I also don't think Mariah wants to create complete robot music. It's the opposite from soul. I take any genre. Pop, soul, gospel, jazz, country, even grunge lol but it has to be real music. HFIA has some cool retro soul vibes, pop, rnb, hip-hop and gospel. The mix was good. (Wednesday 2 September 2026; 12:01) this is a reply to message 114,513

Here For It All one year later (114,513) by BFF from US I mean... considering Sony just sued Anthropic for "illegally training" Claude, you might be able to get a new Mariah album with her early 90s voice. Who knows. Mariah's voice might deteriorate to the point where she cannot do anything with it, and she might start using AI to record new music. I'd honestly be suspicious of almost anything released by any artist in the 2020s because of how ubiquitous generative AI has become. (Tuesday 1 September 2026; 23:04)

Glitter anniversary - disc 2 predictions (114,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany I loved "Everytime" the snippet or demo. The rumour said that the singer wasn't MC. But I loved it soo much. The list sounds good and promising. I hope it's true to get some rare songs from the glitter era. (Tuesday 25 August 2026; 18:02) this is a reply to message 114,475

Glitter anniversary - disc 2 predictions (114,475) by BFF from US 1. Loverboy (Firecracker original version) 2. Never Too Far/Hero Medley 3. Out Here On My Own 4. Didn't Mean to Turn You On (with Rochelle Jordan) 5. Lillie's Blues (studio version) 6. Glitter - unreleased song written with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (registered with ASCAP) 7. Royal Tones - unreleased track from sessions with Stevie J. (registered with ASCAP) 8. Demo version of "Nasty Girl"- sampling track 9. Everytime - rumored song title, see links below 10. Anything Can Happen - rumored song title, see links below 11. Reflections (live from Home for the Holidays 2001) 12. Never Too Far/Hero Medley (live from 2001 Radio Music Awards or another event) 13. Additional song from early sessions with Stevie J. 14. Loverboy (Club of Love Mix or MJ Cole Remix) 15. Never Too Far/Hero Medley (Mike Rizzo Club Mix or Al B. Rich Inspiration Mix) In her memoir, Mariah wrote that she and Prince never recorded the planned duet but that she had started working on a song that sampled "Nasty Girl". "The Flow" is a confirmed song title, but I think it's an instrumental track used in one of the scenes in the movie. It is listed on IMDB, so it appeared in the movie in some form. Mariah is not credited as a writer. There's a song called "I Know" listed on IMDB that was written by Damizza and Randy Jackson and listed as "Performed by Padma Lakshmi, Maria Montreano, and Trey Lorenz". I think this might be the song we [hear] in that scene when Dice meets with Timothy and Timothy is showing him "what all his money is buying him". "Love Will Never End" is mentioned in one of the links below, but no details provided so that sounds like a stretch to me. Links to support song titles listed above for the songs listed above. IMDB listing for the movie Mariah Carey Wiki Old forum post from 2017. A number of songs listed here appeared on "The Rarities", so it seems pretty reliable. (Monday 24 August 2026; 22:15)

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,482) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's fine. I love "both" Mariahs but the 90ies albums from her touches my heart and soul the most. She just shines in every genre. But maybe you will explore and enjoy some older songs too. Most of them are timeless. I love her early work. (Tuesday 25 August 2026; 17:53) this is a reply to message 114,473

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,473) by Zachariah from Croatia I've kind of burnt myself out on Mariah's first four albums. Didn't touch them in years. Everything from Butterfly onward, including Butterfly, is still in regular rotation for me. I'm more of an R&B/hip-hop kind of guy, so I tend to gravitate more toward that side of Mariah rather than the big belting-ballad Mariah. (Monday 24 August 2026; 18:47)

Glitter (114,416) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes. The "dah dah dah dahs” are so typical Mariah. That's why I love it too. Glitter is a fantastic album. The time [was] just wrong for it. I loved Glitter back then and I still do. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 15:30) this is a reply to message 114,415

Glitter (114,415) by Bill from the UK I love the “dah dah dah dahs” that bookend the Firecracker version. Sheer brilliance. (Wednesday 19 August 2026; 10:36)

Caution reflections (114,376) by MusicfanJ from Germany GTFO is the worst first single ever from a Mariah album for my opinion. "Caution" the song would have been much better. "With you" was indeed also not a good choice. With the third single the people almost had already forgotten the new album. I also like the album cover. The album had a fresh, modern vibe (it still has) and was way better than MIAMTEC which had good songs but felt so "unnatural" at some parts. Mariah's team is not so clever anymore with the instinct for possibly radio hits or good single choices. (Sunday 9 August 2026; 12:23) this is a reply to message 114,373

Caution reflections (114,373) by Lainsky from Philippines Aside from wrong choices of commercially released singles, making GTFO an introduction to a cohesively and nicely crafted album is a wrong move. It should've remained as filler. "Giving Me Life" sounds different. I agree that it is innovative, which could have been a wonderful carrier single. It will make non-fans curious. A second single could have been "A No No", followed by the remix and the familiar yet still impactful song "Caution". "Stay Long Love You" will remind the listeners of "A No No" for a third release, or another schmaltzy song, or "Runway". But then again, her age and marketing are big factors, which makes the industry unfairly sucks. (Sunday 9 August 2026; 05:10)

Mariah at Rotterdam (ABMB) (114,360) by MusicfanJ from Germany When I watch the video, I just feel good. Seeing Mariah in that high video quality. She was so sweet, singing with the teddy bear and walking on stage with the energy and charisma. I prefer this over every show with dancers, effects or whatever other big entertainers often have. Pure Mariah was enough for me. I also enjoy watching the audience without handies and smartphones. Good old days. Of course not everything was better but the vibe from the people was so real, just living the moment. I hope to see the whole concert one day. I can say the lines along with the Tokyo concert.
