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

Mariah's voice (110,452) by Giovanni from USA We all know Mariah's voice is not what it used to be but there's still a voice there. She sounds amazing when rested and with jazz and Christmas music. What has always bothered me about the situation is that Mariah hardly ever talks about the problems with her voice. Nodules, vocal damage etc. I really think she and many others like Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys have vocal damage. Mariah might have damaged her voice by not resting her voice enough and with drinking. Mariah can do what she wants but I would always shake my head when she would have a glass of champagne in her hand because why would you destroy the gift God gave you. I'm not judging her I'm just telling it like it is. I think at this point all she can do is rest properly, stop drinking and get a vocal coach if she hasn't already. I love MC and want the best for her and her career. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:27)

Here For It / Camouflage (110,451) by Giovanni from USA Sounds like a very emotional song. I love when Mariah does piano ballad type songs. I think "Camouflage" is one of her best songs that she doesn't get enough credit for. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:06)

Save the day for Edward (110,450) by Giovanni from USA Tonight I must have played "Save the day" 4 or 5 times even doing Mariah's hand movements. I don't care what anyone says, I love the song. So "come on", "come on". (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:03)

Grammys (110,426) by Giovanni from USA I know some of you may not care for Mariah to snag any more Grammys but I do. I will never get over how U2 won album of the year in 2006. We all know "The Emancipation Of Mimi" was a much better and bigger album. I felt Mariah really deserved that one. Also not to hate on Beyonce because I love her but it's ridiculous how she has so many over Mariah. "Drunk in love" is a garbage song yet won a Grammy. I know Mimi has one or two gospel songs on the new album, one with The Clark Sisters. If it's as good as J Valentine says it is maybe Mariah will be nominated for best gospel song/performance and snag a Grammy. (Monday 11 August 2025; 21:08)

Sugar Sweet video (110,423) by Giovanni from USA So when are we getting the video? (Monday 11 August 2025; 20:39)

Bryan Tanaka (110,422) by Giovanni from USA I don't know about y'all but I miss seeing Bryan. I think he and Mariah made such a nice looking couple. He's so handsome and has a nice smile and nice personality. I know he wanted a family but Mariah really looked happy with him. (Monday 11 August 2025; 20:35)

Save the day (110,385) by Giovanni from USA I love "Save the day" and I think it was going to be the last song on "The art of letting go" if I'm not mistaken. I would like MC to keep her album titles short. I hated "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" and "Me I am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse". I would have simply went with "Imperfect" and "The Elusive Chanteuse". "Here for it all" is fine and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Everyone on my X account seems most excited for the collab with Anderson .Paak. (Saturday 9 August 2025; 02:40)

Save the Day (110,376) by Giovanni from USA I'm curious if any of you still listen to this song? I love when Mariah writes with James Wright and I hope we get some more songs with JD. "Save the Day" is classic MC. (Friday 8 August 2025; 03:31)

Type Dangerous jazz version (110,375) by Giovanni from USA I was just wondering if anyone else could hear a jazz version of "Type Dangerous"? It would definitely work and I so just MC would do some jazz tracks in the future. When I heard "Lullaby of Birdland" it left me wanting a jazz album. I know a lot of fans have been wanting a jazz or gospel album. I love gospel so I'm excited to hear the gospel song on "Here for it all". (Friday 8 August 2025; 03:24)

Sugar Sweet (110,210) by Giovanni from USA I agree Jamie. I also wish we had more of Mariah singing the song. A solo version would have been much better. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 23:44) this is a reply to message 110,209

Sugar Sweet (110,209) by Jamie from UK I've been listening to it today, I really wish she had also sung the 2nd verse, it's a catchy song but I don't think there's enough Mariah on it. When I heard the clips before its release I was excited but I actually think I prefer TD especially the soul of the people remix. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 23:29)

When Christmas comes (110,107) by Giovanni from USA I know we're far from Christmas but when I'm asked what is my favorite Mariah Carey song I wanna say "Someday" or "Love takes time" but call me crazy it has to be "When Christmas comes". And it doesn't have to be Christmas for you to play this song. Mariah really out did herself with this one. The music, the lyrics, her voice. If she had made it into a love song it would have likely been a hit. The Emancipation Of Mimi Mariah is singing in that song. I mean she is really showing off that 5 octave range and belting so strong. I so wish Mariah never got into champagne because I feel it damaged her voice tremendously and holds her back vocally. I know she has vocal nodules but she would sound better if she stayed away from the drinking. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 05:36)

Sugar Sweet (110,106) by Giovanni from USA Such a vibe and super catchy. The song sounds like what's current right now. I can hear Ariana or Ciara singing this song. My only complain is that I wish it was a solo. When it comes to Mariah I really don't want or need to hear anybody else. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 05:19)

Sugar Sweet (110,013) by Giovanni from USA I also saw that recently and agree with you Edward. I didn't like it at all. It's a thumbs down for me if that was the song but it's AI. There's also a song from AI that's called "I don't know her" and it's hilarious. AI nailed Mariah's whistles in the song. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 20:41) this is a reply to message 110,000

Sugar Sweet (110,000) by Edward from USA I almost had a heart attack, I thought this was real, but it really sounds like her. I hope hers is better than this. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 14:43)

Mental state (109,978) by Giovanni from USA Silly Adam, this will not be Mariah's last era of music. She just signed a multi deal with Gamma. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 06:06) this is a reply to message 109,971

Mental state (109,971) by ADAM from USA I'm also highly curious what the album rollout interviews will look like. I think she has some sort of mental tick. She has not shared with the public, but I think she's had some sort of a stroke or physical laps that makes her unable to answer things in depth or recall easily. Anytime we have seen her when she answered something. It's all premeditated and not natural. I wish you just come clean and therefore you'd have the sympathy of the public and also some truth with your fan base instead of this plastic veneer and all these can terrible answers to questions that we don't care about. I think she's such an interesting figure and has so many stories that she could talk about But she is so guarded and not truthful. I really want the best for her as I feel like this is her last era of music. Hoping for the best - btw I'm obsessed with Sugar Sweet using AfroBeats it's such an ear worm of a jingle and will sound great blasting from anyone's speakers. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 02:05)

New albums era (109,936) by Giovanni from USA I heard Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez will also be releasing albums this year and I for one am sick of Taylor Swift. Hopefully no one stands in our way for Mariah to get herself a hit song. I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of excitement on social media for this new album with the fans. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:11)

Here for it all (109,935) by Giovanni from USA Very interesting album title. I could care less about the album cover, I care about the music. I hope this album is successful and MC can get herself another number one to her name. "Sugar sweet" has a vibe and is catchy, I already like it so I'm ready. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:05)

Sugar Sweet (109,840) by Giovanni from USA From what I heard I like it. And yes it reminds me of "TMB" but better. I hated "TMB" but it went to number one so there's that. I also hope for a decent album cover and name. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 02:42) this is a reply to message 109,826

Sugar Sweet (109,826) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so snippet is out. Next single is Sugar Sweet. Seems very easy breezy sexy kinda vibe like TMB which is a song I love. The snippet hasn't instantly hooked me but neither did the snippet for TDang but I grew to like that. What does everyone think? By the way she looks like a literal Barbie. I can't wait for cover art and I think we'll get simultaneous album name reveal. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 18:14)

Special guests (109,839) by Giovanni from USA I agree because I like "Type dangerous". (Sunday 20 July 2025; 02:38) this is a reply to message 109,835

Special guests (109,835) by BFF from United States I honestly wish the Usher collaboration single had happened with "How Much". I really liked the So So Def Remix version we got on the Anniversary Version of "Rainbow". That could have been a big git considering Usher was pretty big at the time as well. Fingers crossed that Mariah hits a home run with the second single. "Type Dangerous" kind of fizzled out. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 23:46)

Sugar Sweet (109,838) by Giovanni from USA There's a video that's trending of Mimi in her kitchen making some kind of dessert while a song is playing and I have to say it's very catchy. I'm disappointed "Type dangerous" didn't do as good as some of her other singles because I like "Type dangerous". (Sunday 20 July 2025; 02:36)

New album (109,745) by Giovanni from USA I'll never get over how "Cool on you" was scrapped off the album or how "I'll be lovin you long time" was not a hit. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 03:00) this is a reply to message 109,703

New album (109,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new album is supposed to be a summery sound, well July is almost over I wonder what the roll out plan is and I was thinking I really hope the new album and what we heard about it turns out to be like E=MC2. I've been playing the album and it's still so fresh and experimental. Almost every song had single potential. I was also re-listening to For the Record and indeed what a record only MC has a legacy worth referencing in her own song. I absolutely love her doing the part where she word plays her own song titles, how I wish we had a music video of the song with her recreating her famous MV scenes from the songs mentioned. Anyway I'm rambling but yes I'm hoping for an album like that. It's peak summer vibes with songs like TMB, Cruise Control, IBLULT, FTR, Migrate, ITC. Even has the cheesy Love Story and Last Kiss which I know people hate on but I love it. (Saturday 12 July 2025; 23:55)

Type Dangerous (109,744) by Giovanni from USA It's been a long time since I posted or caught up with Mariah, but I have to say after giving "Type dangerous" a chance it has grown on me. I didn't really like it at first but I do now. When "It's like that" was released, I didn't really like it either. Her voice sounds much better and rested. I hope the new album is good and gets more success than "Caution". I love the "Caution" album. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 02:56)

Tanaka (104,694) by Giovanni from USA I so miss Stella. Maria [sic] needs Stella. Bring back Stella. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 06:39) this is a reply to message 104,673

Tanaka (104,673) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bryan released a statement confirming what we've all probably already knew at this point that they broke up. This was one of her longest relationship and even though at first I didn't ship them (I thought it was Stella's influence and also that Mariah was in a vulnerable state and needed that confidence boost of dating someone hot and young) but over the years they seemed really happy. I never saw Bryan try to use his relation with Mariah to be more relevant/famous. Their relation seemed quite strong because Stella tried to break them up but eventually got fired. The breakup probably happened earlier in the year because Mariah was saying last Christmas was a very bad time for her. Rumor is that they separated because Bryan wanted a family but Mariah didn't (and I don't blame her, her pregnancy was difficult and I'm sure her priorities are different as she already has 2 kids). (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 22:59)

Re: Collaborations (100,438) (100,444) by Giovanni from USA Bravo Jake, I'm glad someone said it. You just because my new favorite lamb. (Tuesday 14 June 2022; 07:10)

Underneath the stars (100,379) by Giovanni from USA I have been listening to "UTS" a lot lately. It's definitely one of Mariah's most underrated songs and one of my favorites from "Daydream". She sounds so dreamy and magical. (Wednesday 1 June 2022; 02:58)

Re: MC's catalogue (100,374) (100,378) by Giovanni from USA Hopefully not.That would be insane. (Wednesday 1 June 2022; 02:53)
