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)

HFIA Japan (112,216) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain There are two solo versions on YouTube. The one from 3 months ago is fan-made. The other from 1 month ago is the real solo version (after the release of the album). Coincidentally, I got my physical copy today as well from Amazon Spain and I was surprised when I listened to the solo version as the album track. PD: In fact, I got it way back in early September (pre-order), but it arrived at a relative's house and I wasn't able to open it and enjoyed it until today.

HFIA Japan (112,154) by Edward from USA Just got my copy of "HFIA" (Japan Edition). Surprisingly, it has 13 tracks. Track 4 is "Sugar Sweet" (Solo Version), and it's different from the solo version one on YouTube. It seems like Mariah went back to the studio and added an almost lazy-sounding short sort of verse in place of Kehlani's part. Track 12 is "Type Dangerous" (DJ Snake Remix), I love this one. And Track 13 is "Sugar Sweet" ft. Kehlani and Shenseea. (Friday 31 October 2025; 02:55)

Article: Mariah Carey fans still excited to see the icon in Perth (112,149) by Edward from USA Had she said that, it would have spread everywhere. I highly doubt there's any truth to it. (Thursday 30 October 2025; 16:42)

Article: Mariah Carey fans still excited to see the icon in Perth (112,148) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Hey. Nobody commented on this. I suppose this is just made up, right? (Thursday 30 October 2025; 16:31) this is a reply to message 112,124

Article: Mariah Carey fans still excited to see the icon in Perth (112,124) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain At her The Celebration of Mimi show on October 4 in Sentul, Indonesia, she reportedly told the crowd: "I've been battling fibromyalgia for years," and hence delivered a "softer, slower" set. Again this reference. But is this true? (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 04:45)

Here For It All (111,165) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Same here. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 18:27) this is a reply to message 111,153

Here For It All (111,153) by Edward from USA To be honest, reading through everyone's opinions helps me prepare for what to expect. For me, true listening day is September 27. And I'll listen to it in sequence, as it was intended by Miss Carey. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 02:08)

So... thoughts on the VMA performance? (111,081) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain It's so obvious that she lipsinchs nowadays. Anyway, nice show and very deserved awards she was granted. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 23:58) this is a reply to message 111,046

So... thoughts on the VMA performance? (111,046) by Bobby A from United States I Shazamed every song in the mix and the same results came back not so surprising. There was such a mix of prerecorded and live vocals that Shazam came back with these results. Big Energy/Obsessed/Honey/Herartbreaker - prerecorded from the Global Citzens Concert Fantasy ft. Ol' Dirty Bastard - mixed vocal recording with live vocals We Belong Together - prerecorded, live vocals and the Late Night Valentine Mix - (in my opinion) We still love MC.

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,619) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Thank you, Joachim. (Thursday 21 August 2025; 08:20) this is a reply to message 110,570

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,570) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I am bipolar myself, and used lithium for two years, but the side effects made me stop using it, it was not lack of energy or fatigue. I have also a psychology degree, so I have first hand experience and academic merits. There are a lot of different medication you can use as a bipolar, but the medications that affect your energy, libido, exuberance, and makes you a "living dead" is the antipsychotic drugs, like zyprexa (olanzapine) and others. Sometimes if you have had a severe relaps like a manic or depressed episode, you can get olanzapine as an injection, or you get another antipsychotic drug called zeplion as an injection. Those medications are administrated once a month, is a so called depot medication, they can have a devastating affect on your mood, happiness, energy, libido, hunger, and the joy of living. Those medication makes you completely flat emotionally, it can give you social anxiety and general anxiety, they keep you in a state where you are just alive, nothing cheers you up, and nothing brings you down, you are completely empty and dead inside, there's not an ounce of mojo what so ever. It's also very frustrating to be in that stat, because you have vivid memories about how you used to be happier, and that makes you even more sad. I suspect Mariah is, or has, been on heavy medication since the death of her mother and sister, which have made her mojo disappear. Even after you have decreased the dosage or auto seponated the medication, it can take months for you to even have a happy thought occurring in your head, but you will get happy again. Using such medication is not a way to live, I have been there, and will never ever again be so dead inside because of medication again, then I will rather not take them. I use orfiril which is a stabilizer that works perfectly for me with no side effects. But be aware guys, after this period with our beloved Mariah be almost a living dead, she is too fatigued to even move around, expect a period from some time from now when she will be exuberant again, and maybe then she will go over the top at the other extreme. But then I think people in her life will keep her out of the public for a short period of time. Mariah was in a manic state at the infamous TRL moment. After her being so low as of recently, it might be expected for her to go up in the clouds as a counter effect in her brain, when chemistry in brain wants to maintain homeostasis again, the neurons releases neurotransmitters to balance the depressed state Mariah is in now. Then she will go overboard, but will retain balance a few weeks to a few months after that. This is the life of a bipolar, I have written two books and a bunch of opinion articles about it Norwegian newspapers. Just remember folks, the Mariah we all love is still there, she just have to flourish again. (Monday 18 August 2025; 17:40)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,342) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Bobby (or Robert Anthony), where do you get all the info from? Who really are you? Lol. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 22:54) this is a reply to message 110,331

Sticking to MC's music only (110,331) by Bobby A from United States I have some song titles tea, but I don't want to spoil what is to come on Here For It All. MC's 16th studio album is shaping up to become a huge seller because of The Clark Sisters collaboration. If you think Never Would Have Made It was a huge radio hit for Marvin Sapp in 2007, wait until MC and The Clark Sisters drop their song on 9.26. The song title is reminisce of The Clark Sisters' fans favorite songs by them like Endow Me, The Center Of My Joy, and Name It Claim It. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 02:30)

Webmaster request (109,947) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I couldn't have said it better. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 05:12) this is a reply to message 109,942

Webmaster request (109,942) by Edward from USA Nobody said anything negative to Brad, except Victoria, who implied the board was full of "hating ass hoes". I guess she included herself in the mix, minus the "hating" and "ass" parts. Some people just love to stir the pot and make things up. Brad made a vague comment about the board, but nothing specific. It was weird because, as you said, we were all just joking around about album titles and having a good time. The vibe was light. Looking at his recent posts, it's pretty clear Brad hasn't been happy with anything Mariah-related lately, which is totally fine. The problem is, when he chose to leave, he acted like this place was some toxic nightmare and he just couldn't deal anymore. That doesn't make sense, especially when most folks here actually liked "Type Dangerous" and the video. Many love playing the victim and throwing digital tantrums, they start acting like they're here to reprimand others, which is just ridiculous. We've got positive folks, critical folks, and everyone in between, but we've all been part of this board for a long time. Brad completely trashed "Type Dangerous", can you imagine if I had gone off on him for not liking it? It'd be absurd. Time to stop being so damn sensitive, it ain't that serious. This board is going to keep being what it is. If I had a penny for every time someone complained about a person, a post, or the entire board, I'd be filthy rich by now. Some keep trying, but nobody's going to be walking on eggshells here. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:58)

Excellent concert (109,825) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Mariah was on fire on the Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour back in 2016. Have a listen. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 17:46)

One Heart One Voice (109,771) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Same here. I've made a playlist with the different versions and I'm trying to learn it by heart. Jejeje. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 16:58) this is a reply to message 109,761

One Heart One Voice (109,761) by Zachariah from Croatia That's how I feel about Type Dangerous. It is on repeat even more than 3 weeks ago. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 23:49)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,770) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lol. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 16:57) this is a reply to message 109,760

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,760) by Jamie from UK I used to have a dog called Even though I try I can't let go of the lead. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 21:37)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,754) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You don't know how many times I used to play and sing along to "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" in the summer of 2008. I still do some times. It's a real pity that it wasn't promoted properly. It could have been a hit. And Mimi in the video, wow. By the way, I've always loved "I Stay in Love" as well. In fact, a dog of mine was called "Baby, I stay in love with you" (short version: "Baby") after the song because, when he was a puppy and I would sing that little part around him, he used to come to me. So that became his name, but in the singing mode. Lol. Everybody got amazed whenever I sang his name and he would appear from wherever. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 14:24)

One Heart One Voice (109,753) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain By "very well done" I meant well written and that it has a nice melody. I wasn't referring to the production and editing. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 14:09) this is a reply to message 109,751

One Heart One Voice (109,751) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain After 2 weeks without listening to this song (I've been really busy), it doesn't seem bad at all to me. In fact, I think it's a beautiful song and very well done. Overall, Mariah is the most creative one in her vocals, but the most restricted of the three. Anyhow, maybe we were a little too critical of all of it when it came out. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 11:08)

Mariah's top 5 summer songs (109,752) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I've always loved it too. And it remains a favourite of mine out of her whole catalogue. It's catchy, fresh and has a great vibe. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 11:21) this is a reply to message 109,749

Mariah's top 5 summer songs (109,749) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Sent from up above". The song has a carefree vibe and singing style that is unique. It's the carefree and hopeful sound that is representing the youth in general. Well, a 20-year old Mariah was showing music magic with her debut. The early 90ies were so good. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 10:07)

Mariah's unique tone and sound (109,534) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is absolutely right. The most prominent thing about Mariah's voice is her versatility and musicality. She is so creative that several listens are needed so as to be able to appreciate all the nuances. That's why I always like her, but in this song specifically she sounds quite restrained. She could have given a bit more. I know her voice is not very powerful today in live performances, but I think it still is in the studio (at least). (Sunday 29 June 2025; 23:38) this is a reply to message 109,501

Mariah's unique tone and sound (109,501) by jaker20 from US One thing stood out for me on this song is how unique her voice is. This record made me realize, again, why I fell in love with her. She's actually more reserved here, and respectfully stepped back. But it also made me realize how unique her voice is. Streisand's voice is classic and powerful, Ariana is also a good vocalist and has her own style. But side by side with other artists, how Mariah "play" with her tone stands out. Her power is probably not the same anymore, but the playfulness, texture and dynamics is always going to be there. It's hers and hers only. She goes from whisper then like a "fracture" or break, head and chest, and then back to soothe again. I don't understand vocal terms so I'm clearly sounding senseless now. But then Mariah herself said she never had a formal training. But that quality on her voice is really what makes me recognize it's her and make her voice unique. That even great vocalists, even if they try to sing her song, it's just not, and will never be, the same. (Friday 27 June 2025; 19:36)

Barbra's song (109,494) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I agree with you and everybody else. It's beautiful and reminiscent of golden ages. However, Mariah's voice sounds weaker than the others or somehow different (I don't know how to put it). Probably she could have soared more. I'm not sure if she doesn't want to or she is not able anymore. (Friday 27 June 2025; 16:07) this is a reply to message 109,485

Barbra's song (109,485) by Shezz from Pk Mariah sounds great with them. The production sounds a bit dated though. Is it just me or is there less of Mariah than the other two? Clearly not a Mariah song but a pleasant surprise. She did her thing with the song she was given, wish we had more of her. Specially on the chorus. Makes me hopeful for the ballads on MC16. In a weird way it made me appreciate TD more. (Friday 27 June 2025; 06:36)

Capital's Summer Ball (109,397) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Jajaja. Lol. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 23:26) this is a reply to message 109,391

Capital's Summer Ball (109,391) by Edward from USA One step at a time, don't push it. Mariah basically ran a marathon just walking that stage. She finally diversified the dance crew, even got herself a white guy and a couple of black hotties in the mix. Her midsection wasn't under siege for once, just squeezed into a corset that didn't make her look like she was battling demons. And let's not overlook the miracle: for the first time in years, she didn't look like she was squinting at a teleprompter or searching for her soul on the monitor. And now you expecting her to sing too? Ave María Purísima. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 03:20)

Capital's Summer Ball (109,390) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I liked it too. She was more energetic and interactive, and the performance was very consistent overall. But truth be said, everything was lipped except for a couple of notes here and there. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 00:44) this is a reply to message 109,353

Capital's Summer Ball (109,353) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I just watched the Summer Ball, and I actually liked it a lot. Almost everything is prerecorded, but it seems like it's her current voice, it's much deeper, she can't belt, but a few high notes here and there. And funny thing is, she actually sang a few notes and frases live, and those live notes, are actually pretty good. I wish she could have the confidence to actually sing, she has to break the barrier soon. She doesn't care if it looks like she is lip synching or not, but she does it a tad bit more believable than in China. She doesn't move her muscles in her face, but at this point I'm affraid it has with botox to do, it's quite strange how emotionless her face has become. She moves a bit more freely, and I actually think her outfit looked modern, almost a bit of a image change from the gowns and the big hair. She was not tacky, it fitted her well, she seemed young, but her own age at the same time, and not desperate to be sexy. I'm quite pleased with the performance. (Monday 16 June 2025; 00:41)

Tommy and fools be a bit slow (109,204) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is exactly how I see it. She's just playing, not trying to recapture anything from the past. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 00:48) this is a reply to message 109,192

Tommy and fools be a bit slow (109,192) by Nikki from usa We all know Mariah's history. But, as she stated, she's just playing. Mariah's literally listing her music videos' cameos. An evil king and castle was Honey. Motorcycle guy is Sweetheart and Beautiful. Computer nerd is Touch My Body. Construction and customs is We Belong Together as a nod to Wentworth Miller. 12th to never is Mine Eternally where Trey Songz leaves Mariah's butt in the rainforest. I think it's brilliant she's bringing up her previous works and music videos. Mariah's right - she doesn't take herself as seriously as others do. Everyone has started referencing their previous songs in lyrics just as Mariah has done for awhile now, so she's raising the bar. It's a whole new flex. (Monday 9 June 2025; 04:12)

Mariah's voice (108,887) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain So nice to have you back, Joachim. (Thursday 29 May 2025; 01:42) this is a reply to message 108,871

Mariah's voice (108,871) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I haven't written on this board lately, been some months. I have been in the top 20 as of messages throughout the last few years. Maybe I wrote a couple of messages at the start of the years, but after that, months. I am as most of you, devestated about the current condition of our girl, Mariah. She can't sing, she can't move, she can't show an emotion. It's clearly to almost all uf us, Mariah is in a bad state, and I think it's mentally and emotionally. Deep down, we all know that if Mariah gets in a happy place again, her voice will also follow, and we can have a few great moments again. The thing is, I have more agility and range in my voice than Mariah at the moment, and I'm a 41 years old man who has never tried singing as a career. I wish Mariah well, and all the help she needs. Let's stay positive now, folks? Love you, Mariah (Monday 26 May 2025; 22:27)

Mimi sessions (108,855) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I agree with you. (Saturday 24 May 2025; 12:32) this is a reply to message 108,849

Mimi sessions (108,849) by Mirage_Nunez from America I'll admit on first listen, I was a bit concerned that her voice sounds more exhausted than ever, but by time she got to Say Something I had an involuntary smile on my face, because she sound a bit more vibrant and I loved just hearing her pure voice with piano. I watched again today with my earphones in and enjoyed it even more. Is it up there with MTV Unpugged 92? No, but still enjoyable in a more mellow calm way imo. I think we all already know what's going on with her (for the most part), she's come out about her vocal nodules (which makes her voice inconsistent), she's come out about bipolar disorder, we know she's dealt with distress, depression, trauma, heartbreak, loss, etc. Listen, I get it. It's hard to watch some of her recent performances because she looks just how everyone has described: sedated, barely moving her lips, etc. Honestly I find myself avoiding a lot of the live performances or the comment sections nowadays, because of this. Ultimately I know we all just want her to be respected and revered as the Mariah we all fell in love with. However, we have to give her some grace and credit for giving us an honest performance with the Mimi Sessions, it wasn't overly engineered or dubbed, it was Mariah singing comfortably in her current voice: something she's been criticized for not doing in recent times. We can debate that it wasn't perfect or up to her prime standards, but it was a raw honest look at where she is today vocally. It's normal as fans that deeply love her to get down, maybe even depressed over her not shining as bright as she once did, but her legacy as one of the premier female artists of all time is cemented. Of course, I'm always hopeful that we'll get one more undeniable era of Mariah at her best, but all I truly care about now is her inner peace and happiness. Praying we get our happy vibrant lively Mariah back. (Friday 23 May 2025; 22:17)
