About Xavier mariohmix from Spain:

Emotions album (113,002) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Back in the day, when I used to force myself to pick a favorite album, Emotions was the one. Don't know why exactly, but Can't Let Go and Till the End of Time were mainly the ones to blame, and the high notes on Emotions and You Don't Remember as well. Wow. So many highlights on this album. And her voice on top form. (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 01:19) this is a reply to message 112,996

Emotions album (112,996) by Giovanni from USA I love the Emotions album, very mature and cohesive. The only song I skip is "You're so cold". I have always said "Emotions" is Mariah's best song while some might say "Fantasy" is. "Can't let go", "Make it happen" along with "Till the end of time" make the album in my opinion. I would have swapped out "You're so cold" for "Can you hear me", also "Emotions" song really deserved a Grammy. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 19:40)

Channeled message (113,001) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Where are you going? (Wednesday 14 January 2026; 01:10) this is a reply to message 112,985

Channeled message (112,985) by Dove from United States What makes a song good is that it makes you feel something. Sometimes I think about how Mariah's voice is not as majestic as what it once was and it makes me feel a little bit sad. Before, she could make me feel something with just her voice alone. But then I think about people who don't have the most impressive voices who are still able to make us feel something. Taylor Swift comes to mind. (Britney too although what she makes me feel is different. Her songs make me feel young, fun, and carefree.) Mariah is still a a good singer. I think she needs to dig deep and write songs that are more than superficial right now. (Although, fun/superficial songs have their place too.) I feel like collectively people are experiencing a huge shift and we're going through a portal. Mariah is anointed. She needs to tap in. The world needs her voice. Mariah please tap in (to source) and deliver us messages that will help us make it through what we're about to go through. Release them digitally for free as they come as charity to the world. When you have 10 songs, release them on an album. Eventually your descendants will be compensated for your contribution. Sometimes messages come through me. That one was for Mariah. I do apologize for making anybody feel uncomfortable who doesn't believe in this stuff but I felt a strong urge to share it here. We (here) are connected to Mariah on the ether. I'm about to go complete offline before the New Year (Spring equinox) and I probably won't be coming on here in a very long while but I wish the best for everyone and hope to see you all on the other side of this. I love you guys. (Tuesday 13 January 2026; 00:52)

In your feelings (112,961) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I don't know, but I can't get this song out of my head. It's catchy, it's got a wonderful vibe, it sounds classic, but different at the same time. And the speedy and tongue-twister phrase "I think you might be getting a little bit toooooo..." is so iconic. I'm singing it all day long. (Thursday 8 January 2026; 23:05)

Great news (112,960) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lambi, but what will you be doing exactly? Where will you be working? Will you have direct contact with Mariah? Try not to break your contractual secrecy, but give us something so that we can get an idea. Also, tell her, if that's possible, that she needs to rest and switch off more frequently, that she needs to take care of her voice and bring live vocals back, and that we love her so much.

Great news (112,924) by Lambi from USA Last October, I stopped by Gamma Headquarters in LA in search of work and was fortunate enough to make a somewhat direct link towards Mariah's team. Long story short, I've recently been brought on in a new capacity. Of course, for contractual reasons, I'm not able to share in-depth behind the scenes. What I can say is that I'll now be part of a new, real-life Mariah community, which likely means stepping away from this board, not for good but at least for a very long while. It's truly been a wonderful experience here. Dove, Giovanni, Mimi L, MusicFanJ, Terna, Lainsky, Randy, Joachim, Lara, Rashidi, and TJ, I've loved reading your stories, ideas, and reviews. I'm hopeful I'll continue to work my way closer to MC, and I'll absolutely try to relay your ideas and perspectives. Thank you to MCArchives for all the festivity and warmth during my short time here. God bless, and I'm so grateful to have shared my love for Mariah with all of you. I wish you all nothing but the very best, darlings. (Monday 5 January 2026; 05:41)

Confetti & Champagne (112,959) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Yes. Great lyrics and distinct melody. Very original song. (Thursday 8 January 2026; 22:46) this is a reply to message 112,956

Confetti & Champagne (112,956) by Terna from Nigeria It's my favorite from the [new album], and the most standout "Mariahesque" track on the whole album in my opinion. It's got a distinct summery vibe for chilling and hanging out and yes it should be a single, complete with a video treatment. (Thursday 8 January 2026; 12:09)

Great news (112,950) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Wow. (Wednesday 7 January 2026; 00:10) this is a reply to message 112,924

Great news (112,949) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lol. (Wednesday 7 January 2026; 00:06) this is a reply to message 112,933

Great news (112,933) by Edward from USA I think "My All" was clearly going to be the theme song from "Titanic", but Tommy couldn't deal with the thought of immortalizing Derek Jeter like that. It would've been an unbearable constant reminder of his wife being unfaithful to him. (Monday 5 January 2026; 16:18)

Happy new year (112,859) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Happy new year, lambily. So proud of being part of this. Kiss and hugs. (Thursday 1 January 2026; 21:25) this is a reply to message 112,849

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,849) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha that's too funny. Happy new year everyone. (Thursday 1 January 2026; 13:08)

Listen to this (112,725) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I might sound repetitive because it's not the first time, but, again, you need to listen to this concert. Her voice was in an excellent condition and she was so enthusiastic and energetic. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 16:45)

Amazing (112,515) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Listen to this, folks. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 13:04)

Some say that's tough (112,497) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Yes, we can hear it as well. We have since the moment we got to listen to the song. It's very characteristic and unusual. The interpretations have already been stated here, and I think they are approximate. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 01:12) this is a reply to message 112,477

Some say that's tough (112,477) by Edward from USA While listening to "Here For It All", I noticed a brief distortion that sounds like a sped-up, slightly warped male voice, almost the way a CD glitches for a split second. At first I thought it was just my copy, but I checked the YouTube lyric video and the distortion is there as well. It happens right after she finishes the line: "Some say that's tough." And for some reason, once I heard it, I can't unhear it. Every time I listen, it jumps out at me. Can any of you hear it as well? Do you think it's intentional, part of the production, or does it sound like someone saying something in the background? If you can make out what that brief sound/voice might be, I'd love to know. If you can't hear it, I think it's time for me to check my meds and get them right. (Monday 24 November 2025; 01:18)

Vocals 2009-10 (112,476) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is just spectacular. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 21:25)

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,470) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Yes. With You I'm Born Again live and When Christmas Comes. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 14:45) this is a reply to message 112,467

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,467) by TJ from Norway Isn't it two songs? (Saturday 22 November 2025; 07:59)

A little life update (112,466) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Congrats and very good luck. Supernatural is the song I sing to my nephews and nieces. Lol. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 02:09) this is a reply to message 112,447

A little life update (112,447) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wanted to share some good news with my little MCA family, it's also the reason I've been MIA mostly the past few months. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, a little baby girl. You best believe she will be introduced to Mariah really early on so we will have a baby lamb joining the lambily soon. Who knows down the line Eric may have a new member join this board haha. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Promise I won't be influenced by Nick Cannon's baby names. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 12:44)

A little life update (112,465) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain My two nieces (a year and a half) blow kisses to a cushion with Mariah's face printed on it that I have. And I always sing to them Supernatural. Lol. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 02:05) this is a reply to message 112,464

A little life update (112,464) by Stacey from USA Absolutely. Kids do have a mind of their own. I thought I might have had a breakthrough during the summer of 2017. My kids loved listening to the "you don't know" song aka You Don't Know What To Do as we drove to swimming lessons. They were 9, 7, and 4 at the time. But alas, Minecraft, Roblox, Nintendo Switch, art, drawing, etc are more important. I will say my 17 year old daughter calls Mariah the queen of Christmas. She says no Christmas music before Halloween since "the queen hasn't thawed yet". She loved this year's It's Time video. So, all is not lost, I guess. (Friday 21 November 2025; 16:40)

Her voice in 2017 (112,347) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain It still was powerful and resonant. Check it out. This was one year before Caution. Read the comments. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 21:22)

HFIA review (112,328) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I think my mother agrees with you. On the second day after the release of the album when I was listening to it at home on the speakers at full volume while sweeping the floor, I screamed: "Wow, this album is just beautiful.". And she replied: "She sounds as usual." All this in Spanish, of course. Lol. And I thought: "She isn't capable of appreciating her artistry and her evolution as an artist." Lol. (Monday 10 November 2025; 00:37) this is a reply to message 112,320

HFIA review (112,320) by TJ from Norway "It's new, but, at the same time, it's got classic Mariah and a little bit of everything (to my delight)." That's the problem with this album. She's trying an old formula that doesn't work anymore, and she's done it so many times before. From my point of view she's not evolving as an artist. Caution was different, but not enough. (Sunday 9 November 2025; 08:53)

HFIA review (112,327) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain By vocal acrobatics I meant the belting. On Caution it was more consistent and regular in the usual last section of the songs (if I remember well, it's been so long since I listened to that album). However, "Me. I am Mariah..." was the last time we had real huge belting (the one we have always been used to) like on "Supernatural" or "Meteorite". On the other hand, the whistle register is always there and used very wisely aesthetically, as usual. And you're so right to say that "her vocals remain steady and buttery throughout the album", and that's what makes it consistent. Vocally, I still love her voice just because she's capable of doing so many things with it and creating so much beauty sonically with plenty of nuances. For me that's outstanding. One thing I didn't mention in my review: the lyrics. She's a real master. She knows we pay real attention to that, and, apart from being something natural in her, she puts a lot of effort into it. "Play That Song" feels like a film when you listen to it and close your eyes in order to imagine the scenes. When somebody commented on this album being possibly her last one, I felt like I was going to cry, but it felt right because of what it is like. Still I hope it won't. (Monday 10 November 2025; 00:29) this is a reply to message 112,319

HFIA review (112,319) by Edward from USA I miss the vocal acrobatics too. "HFIA", unlike "Caution", still has some great vocal moments, not as showy, but definitely there. Mariah's whistle register sounds a bit thicker now, and I actually love the smoky tone of her voice on this album. She doesn't go all out, but her vocals remain steady and smooth throughout. smoky, buttery, and effortless. What more could we ask for? As I said, "HFIA" would be a beautiful goodbye album if she ever decided to stop releasing new music. Still, I have a feeling she'll put out another album in a couple of years. At this point, I think it's dawned on her that the longer she waits, the less she sells, and the more people disconnect. (Sunday 9 November 2025; 03:35)

HFIA review (112,318) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain My quick review (better late than never): overall I like it very much. It's new, but, at the same time, it's got classic Mariah and a little bit of everything (to my delight). Just like she told us, it's an eclectic album. The one thing that I miss really much: the vocal acrobatics. They started to fade away on the Caution album, and now that's a fact. However, the artistry is intact and evolving, her real virtue. Right after the release, I didn't want to listen to the album more that once a day. But lately, the number has increased. It's a real pity this kind of music doesn't have a global impact like it used to. Anyway, we're here for it all. Hugs. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 23:07)

Article: Mariah set to re-enter Billboard Hot 100 earlier than ever (112,314) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain No. Next week. Lol. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 20:03) this is a reply to message 112,310

Article: Mariah set to re-enter Billboard Hot 100 earlier than ever (112,310) by Bobby A from United States I think it will hit #1 the last week in November. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 12:02)

Alzheimer's (112,313) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You're so right, Joachim. Thanks for your input. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 20:02) this is a reply to message 112,312

Alzheimer's (112,312) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Well, I have a masters degree in psychology and working as a mental health professional, we are not diagnosing Mariah, but the symptoms can be symptoms of early Alzheimer's. There are other wild speculations here about almost everything, her mental health have been talked about for years. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 19:03)

Dress (112,305) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain The same thing happens to me. I don't seem to be able to recall that anecdote properly. Lol. (Saturday 8 November 2025; 02:26) this is a reply to message 112,291

Dress (112,291) by Edward from USA There's an interview from about seven years ago on MTV TRL where she talks about working with Whitney, and they mention the whole dress situation. She says she isn't sure whether it was her dress or Whitney's that arrived late, and someone on her team reminds her it was hers. In that interview she's completely present and articulate, she was promoting "Caution" at the time, so I don't think her not remembering that detail recently has anything to do with Alzheimer's or her meds. It just seems like one of those things she genuinely forgets whenever it comes up. (Friday 7 November 2025; 02:08)

Dress (112,290) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Was Mariah's dress really the one that arrived late? How do you remember that? The Memoirs? (Friday 7 November 2025; 01:04) this is a reply to message 112,272

The arrogance (112,272) by Lighty from China Well, the 2024-2025 Mariah Carey is stiff on stage. She said she had to do the Christmas residency because (her) people booked it. She didn't know Katy Perry went to space. She frequently forgets what specific word to use in recent interviews. She said in the JHud show that Whitney's dress was late for the VMAs but actually it was her own dress that almost didn't make it. She doesn't even remember her own lyrics and relies on multiple teleprompters on stage. Not really sure if it's because of menopause or the alleged heavy medication or early signs of Alzheimer's but do you really expect "this" Mariah to Google things herself? Her team is the one to blame. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 11:43)

Alzheimer's (112,289) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I agree with you and Joachim as well. It seems like either she doesn't really care at all how she's being seen, or she's not actually aware of it (although I highly doubt it, sung a la "Play This Song" jejeje). There are some hints here and there in the interviews that indicate that her head is not clear and her mind is kind of slow. (Friday 7 November 2025; 00:57) this is a reply to message 112,288

Alzheimer's (112,288) by Edward from USA I don't think it's Alzheimer's, it seems more likely to be the effects of her bipolar meds. What's troubling to me is that no one in her circle seems willing to say, "Hey girl, something seems off. You look sedated on stage, maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting your meds." On "Nothing Is Impossible", she sings: "Seemed like I'd never rise again, surely I couldn't find a friend." Those two lines confirm something I've always felt, that Mariah doesn't really have people around her who can be both supportive and honest, a true friend who could tell her hard truths because they care. Instead, it seems like she's surrounded by cheerleaders and "yass queens" who are more worried about staying in her good graces and keeping their checks rolling in rather than actually looking out for her well-being.

HFIA Japan (112,226) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Can you please provide me with the link? The only ones I can find are as I told you. (Monday 3 November 2025; 23:10) this is a reply to message 112,219

HFIA Japan (112,219) by Edward from USA The YouTube solo version I was referring to is the one on her official channel. The Japan CD solo version has an extra verse in place of Kehlani's. (Monday 3 November 2025; 03:58)
