About Giovanni from USA: Big music lover who loves Mimi.

Hark. The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria (112,723) by Giovanni from USA I never cared for this song until now. Mariah's version is by far the best in my opinion. Her delivery and the choir is heavenly. I love Merry Christmas now more than ever. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 08:35)

All I want for Christmas is you (112,722) by Giovanni from USA Congrats to Mariah for now having the longest number one song on Billboard Hot 100. She deserves it and I'm happy that people still enjoy this classic. I think as of now I'm done streaming it, I've heard it enough and I don't wanna get sick of. I hope it stays number one for as long as possible and I hope we get at least one more Christmas album before Mariah retires. She literally has the best voice for Christmas music. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 08:26)

Sugar Sweet (112,666) by Giovanni from USA The hit that should have been. It just needed at least one more Mariah verse. I think the song was just past its time in terms of release, production and Mariah's age. It sounds like something from E=MC². It's basically TMB's sister and I still love it. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 08:24)

Die with a smile (112,665) by Giovanni from USA I think "Die with a smile" is probably the best song that has been released in the last 10 or even 20 years. It's very addictive and so much better than "Leave the door open". I love it so much Bruno and Gaga did their thing and definitely deserved their Grammy. I have often imagined E=MC² Mariah singing "Die with a smile" when her voice was more youthful and powerful. I think she could have pulled it off. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 08:14)

In Your Feelings (112,664) by Giovanni from USA I love it so much but I can't listen to it anymore cause her voice sounds bad. Music Box and Daydream Mariah would cringe if they heard that. Overall I still enjoy HFIA just wish it had at least one hit. In my opinion if MOAIA Mariah was singing "In your feelings" it would be more enjoyable and a potential hit. The lyrics and production is there it's just the fans are not. I think there's a lot of remaining fans who don't care if she has any more hits but for me I'd like her to at least tie The Beatles' record. It's time for Mariah to write with Bruno and give us the collaboration some of us have wanted for years. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 08:00) this is a reply to message 112,653

In Your Feelings (112,653) by jaker20 from US It's doing really well on R&B radio but I doubt that she'll do a video for it when she didn't even do a proper video for Sugar Sweet which is now the most streamed song in the album. (Thursday 11 December 2025; 15:57)

My Love (112,571) by Giovanni from USA There's an AI version of "My love" in Butterfly voice and in my opinion it's good. A very nice r&b version that would have fit perfectly on the Butterfly album. I'm kind of disappointed that we have never heard any unreleased songs from '97. There has to be at least one or two that didn't make the album. (Monday 1 December 2025; 04:23)

The Beautiful Ones (112,570) by Giovanni from USA Yup I agree Mariah out did Prince with "The Beautiful Ones". I don't care what he thought about her cover, hers is better. I have never cared for Prince the same way I have never cared for Elton John or Stevie Wonder. (Monday 1 December 2025; 04:15) this is a reply to message 112,567

The Beautiful Ones (112,567) by Lambi from USA Mariah introduced The Beautiful Ones to me. And I agree, hers is better. Could've been a tad bit shorter but Mariah's voice and interpretation during Butterfly is basically unbeatable. Prince might've been insecure. (Monday 1 December 2025; 02:11)

When Christmas Comes (112,569) by Giovanni from USA I love the song but I disagree, I like the video. I love Mariah's look in the ... especially by the piano next to John Legend. I think the video was nicely done and represented Mariah being happy and enjoying the Holiday spirit. I just can't stand seeing Nick Cannon anymore. (Monday 1 December 2025; 04:10) this is a reply to message 112,563

When Christmas Comes (112,563) by jaker20 from US I've been kind of obsessed with this song lately. It's such a classy and classic Christmas song. But the video does not capture the beauty of the song. I hope she updates it because it's an earworm. (Sunday 30 November 2025; 19:22)

In Your Feelings (112,540) by Giovanni from USA In my opinion "In your feelings" is the only song on the album where Mariah's voice sounds bad. I love her but it sounds like she recorded it while having a cold. It's a shame because it's one of her best recordings. Imagine if MOAlA Mariah sung this song. I wish she had re recorded it when her voice was better. Overall I'm still enjoying HFIA. I would love to hear Bruno cover "In your feelings". (Friday 28 November 2025; 03:29)

Bobbi/Lambi (112,539) by Giovanni from USA I love y'all both and it's funny because I was blasting "The distance" this evening. One of the best from the album and one of my favorites. I think Ty Dolla $ign did great with his verse and Mariah's voice sounds superb. I love Caution as much as Emancipation. For me Caution is a no skips album, it deserved better. (Friday 28 November 2025; 03:24)

Merry Christmas II You vinyl (112,440) by Giovanni from USA So nice that this special album is available now on vinyl. If only Mariah's voice and tone still sounded like this. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 06:30)

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,439) by Giovanni from USA Sorry Bobby I love you but your predictions don't usually come to light. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 05:55) this is a reply to message 112,433

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,433) by Bobby A from United States It just came to my mind this evening remembering when Bruno Mars was the male version of Taylor Swift in 2013. Everything he releases becomes a Hot 100 hit. I am predicting if it is true that he jumped on the IYF remix, MC will finally get a post 2009 top 5 pop hit, multiple Grammy nominations, and a Spotify playlist deal in 2026. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 00:22)

Bruno (112,396) by Giovanni from USA Apparently there's a rumor that Bruno might be doing a female collab with a so called "great singer". Could be anyone but I'm really hoping it's MC. There are plenty of great singers as of now but none hold a candle to Mariah. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:48)

I won't allow it (112,395) by Giovanni from USA This song is one of Mariah's best. Very good music and production. I bet Mariah had fun recording this and I'm sure Tanaka knows it's about him. Guess I was wrong about him as he had us fooled. Shame on him, he should have been more proactive. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:36)

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,394) by Giovanni from USA I think he's talented but a liar. I don't think Mariah dated him at all. Of course I don't know this for sure but he doesn't strike me as Mariah's type. It's clear Damizza had feelings for MC or at least was attracted to her and then got in his feelings because Mariah cut ties with him. I don't like how he tries to take credit for TEOM especially with "Well belong together". That was all MC and JD. I hate it when people try to take credit for MC's work (Walter). (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:30) this is a reply to message 112,390

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,390) by Randy from USA I saw this and cursed out my phone. This never happened. Like MC once said, what would that sound like, I sing and she does something else. I totally don't believe it and I wish he'd get a life or a career besides discussing a woman he hasn't seen or talked to in 20+ years. Dirtball. Every time he talks I feel the need to bathe in some sudsy ammonia. I hope he's not on the hand. (Friday 14 November 2025; 21:16)

Best voice of all time (112,315) by Giovanni from USA It's clear when you listen to songs like "Dreamlover", "My all", "We belong together", "When Christmas comes" and the amazing "One Child", Mariah definitely has the best voice of all time. I know her voice is nowhere near what it used to be and you have Whitney Houston who was labeled The Voice. But Mariah will always have the best singing voice ever and no one today comes close. She's the last golden voice we will ever hear. No doubt Mariah has a place in God's singing choir and I can't even imagine what she would sound like in Heaven. I think Mariah will look like Daydream Mariah and her voice will be reanimated to the fullest extent. I love you Mariah. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 20:28)

It's time video views (112,245) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is getting so many views on X and Insta with her video but yet all those viewers didn't buy or stream Here For It all? Make it make sense. (Tuesday 4 November 2025; 04:53)

It's time video (112,244) by Giovanni from USA Nope you're the only one. I love the video, you as well as many others need to lighten up and let Mariah have fun. I don't care about her connections to Amazon. Mariah could perform at the White House and I wouldn't care. I remember people trying to cancel Beyonce for sitting with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump at an event and it was ridiculous. You can't cancel Beyonce and you certainly can't cancel Mariah.

It's time video (112,227) by JLR from United States Is it just me or does the new it's time video feel very tone deaf? It's not special anymore. It's literally a commercial for Sephora, partnering up with Amazon for merch and special album covers. Jeff Bezos is literally destroying the planet, he is also a huge supporter/fan the president. It's beginning to feel like she just cares about money at this point, also she just performed in the Amazon to bring awareness, yet she teams a person who's destroying it? Like? Anyone else feel this way? (Tuesday 4 November 2025; 00:28)

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,243) by Giovanni from USA I agree 100%, Emancipation Mariah was snatching wigs with those vocals. Her voice was so powerful that era that nobody can ever touch her. I believe Mariah has the best singing voice of all time. She definitely has a place in God's choir. (Tuesday 4 November 2025; 04:45) this is a reply to message 112,223

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,223) by Lambi from USA It's definitely a lot of belting, very Emotions-coded, she was not holding back. That key E♭ major is no joke either, she really made the engineer earn his check that night. I Wish You Knew and Mine Again are in the same key too, she loved that bright soulful E♭ vibe during the Mimi era. Yours and My Saving Grace from Charm share the same key as well, it's really Mariah's comfort and danger zone at the same time. Her belting register is seriously a cut above the rest though. She makes the highest, brightest notes so pleasant to the ears. No one to this day can replicate the tonal quality and the mind-blowing resonance of her belts. My faves are the climaxes on Butterfly, and all the live belts she threw down on the Daydream tour, specifically that Hero performance in Rotterdam. (Monday 3 November 2025; 12:01)

All I want for Christmas is you (112,215) by Giovanni from USA I really hope the tradition continues and the song hits number one. "Golden" will probably take the number one spot on Billboard soon so I hope it doesn't stand in Mariah's way. (Sunday 2 November 2025; 22:39)

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,214) by Giovanni from USA I love "Stay the night" but sadly Mariah can't sing that song now. Way too hard, in fact nobody can sing that song. That's the power of Mariah's songs. Good lyrics and difficult singing. (Sunday 2 November 2025; 22:33) this is a reply to message 112,204

Non-single deep cuts playlist (112,204) by Lambi from USA Adding Stay The Night, For The Record and Here For It All. Salamat Lainsky. (Saturday 1 November 2025; 21:20)

Japan (112,182) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is getting a lot of love in Japan and hearing her speak in Japanese was such a delight. (Friday 31 October 2025; 19:42)

3 albums (112,181) by Giovanni from USA It's easy for me: Music Box, The Emancipation Of Mimi and Caution. I love Butterfly but I just can't without "Portrait". In my opinion Caution is a no skip album. (Friday 31 October 2025; 19:40)

The most creditably review rated (112,153) by Giovanni from USA I love the album as well, Mariah gave some of her best singing on this album. Her voice was in great shape and she sounds so healthy especially her tone. My favs are "When Christmas comes", "Oh Santa" and "The first Noel". I wanted a whole song for "Born is the King" interlude. Mariah was meant to sing Christmas songs. (Friday 31 October 2025; 02:37) this is a reply to message 112,150

The most creditably review rated (112,150) by Zachariah from Croatia MCIIY is so good that I could play it any time of year and not even be bothered that it is a Christmas album. (Thursday 30 October 2025; 21:01)

In your feelings (112,152) by Giovanni from USA Is such a good song and definitely has Anderson's production all over it. It gives me Silk Sonic and Bruno vibes as well especially in the chorus. This is a song Mariah can sing live and I'd love to see her perform it more. I just wish she sounded better because she sounds so horse and tired. I can hear Daydream Mariah or Memoirs Mariah singing "In your feelings". To me this song is another "It's a wrap" and I love it. (Friday 31 October 2025; 02:31)
