About Zachariah from Croatia: Mariah Carey fan and professional member of automotive community - both got me feeling emotions.

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,451) by Zachariah from Croatia No, Christmas doesn't mean winter but the post suggested that she in only known during that time and that she should stop focusing on USA, which is Ludacris.

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,449) by Lambi from USA Baby had solid ideas, it's fresh and made perfect sense. With your logic, does winter always mean Christmas? Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, The Philippines, New Zealand - all experience hot humid Christmases. Have you not thought of that?

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,440) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't know. With that logic, she should release a Christmas song right now because it is winter there and just keep pretending that it is Christmas time. (Monday 23 June 2025; 15:06)

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,435) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hey Lambily. I haven't been keeping up with every message since before T:D dropped, so apologies if this has already been brought up, but it's been on my mind for a long time. MC needs to stop treating the U.S. like her main market. And that goes for Team Mariah, Larry Jackson, Gamma, her entire promo strategy, and even us lambs. Here's why and what needs to change: America is no longer serving Mariah She's been reduced to a "Christmas meme" over here. Hugely beloved in December, but ignored or mocked the rest of the year. The Caution era (which IMO is top 3 in her catalog) was under-promoted, underplayed, and mishandled because of an outdated U.S.-centric strategy. American media fixates on "diva" soundbites, lighting demands, Christmas hits, and drama - not her actual music. Thank God for TikTok or many of the youngins would never have discovered she has other songs outside of AIW (no shade). Go where you're loved In Asia and Latin America, Mariah is still treated like a living legend and never like a living relic. She fills stadiums and arenas in China, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines etc - no current album needed. Hello, The Celebration of Mimi Tour? So this can't be news to anybody. Brazil has Lambs ready to riot for a single live moment. These countries aren't obsessed with clickbait interviews or reducing her legacy to one season a year. They care about her vocals her catalog, and her presence. Rethink the rollout strategy * Drop the next single in South Korea * Premiere the video in Shanghai. * Give her first big comeback interview to Japanese TV Because guess what? Social media is global. Wherever it starts, it'll reach America within seconds. Reminder: virality isn't U.S.-owned "Gangnam Style" wasn't in English. It wasn't American. Still went viral. Let's don't "chase" a U.S. moment - create global ones and let the U.S. catch up later (they always do). Do something, anything fresh Imagine a fan listening party in the Philippines - thousands of English-speaking Pinoy Lambs who would lose their minds. Or Mariah launching a challenge on TikTok Korea or doing a collab with a big Latin or K-Pop artist. All of this creates "real momentum", way more than another awkward podcast or daytime U.S. interview. And for the finale All I Want For Christmas Is You hit #1 in Japan in 1994. (A non-Christian country, because she licensed it for use as the theme for a tv-show.) It took America until 2019 to do the same and she had to work for it. Remember December 2014? Meanwhile "Caution" didn't even chart properly in the U.S., despite being critically acclaimed. Go where you're celebrated, not where you have to beg for recognition. It's time for Team Mariah to think globally, because she is global. The U.S. doesn't have to be first anymore. Let the music lead. Thoughts? (Sunday 22 June 2025; 21:56)

Summertime Ball (109,393) by Zachariah from Croatia For example - Ru Paul Drag Race. I thought it was a show about cars. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 07:36) this is a reply to message 109,380

Summertime Ball (109,380) by Jamie from UK Gay terms? What’s that supposed to mean, do gay people not speak the same as everyone else? (Monday 16 June 2025; 18:25)

Mariah, on fire (109,371) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she should stick with MC16 or maybe Sweet Sweet MC16? (Monday 16 June 2025; 15:06) this is a reply to message 109,369

Mariah, on fire (109,369) by Bobby A from United States Since MC is on fire right now, do you think MC16 needs a title that will grab people's attention and pokes fun at MC herself? How about the title, I Don't Know Her? (Monday 16 June 2025; 14:26)

Summertime Ball (109,367) by Zachariah from Croatia Honestly, I haven't seen the rules, especially the one with all capitals. I apologize. But wouldn't be just easier to switch all capitals to small letters instead of deleting the whole word and making the author of the post to look like an idiot? It is hard enough that I am translating everything to make sure that everything is understandable (since English is not my native language) and not to mention googling gay terms so that I can keep up since I am not gay and sometimes do not understand all the references.

Summertime Ball (109,365) by Zachariah from Croatia Again, my post has been edited. I am so annoyed by that. It is missing the word "amazing" and without it, post completely doesn't have the meaning what was ment to have.

Capital's Summer Ball (109,366) by Zachariah from Croatia I wouldn't say that this was prerecorded. (Monday 16 June 2025; 10:07) 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)

Summertime Ball (109,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah left me gagged and on the bathroom floor with her performance. When I saw the stage it had this very long ramp that leads to a centre stage and I was like no way is Mariah walking that well I was damn wrong. First of all I'm so very glad she didn't wear a gown and instead wore a shorter romper dress she looked so pretty and youthful and she wore some sensible shoes. When I tell you I was hyperventilating when Mariah started walking the ramp and not just walk she walked without any help I was screeching because it's so rare nowadays. Not only did she walk, she interacted with the audience, bent down to talk to a little girl, then again to pick up a lamb toy someone threw on stage. She also looked like she wanted to sprint across the stage during the WBT ending but then thought she shouldn't. Mic was on, she sounded great. I also choked when she said during the start of WBT that it was a song of the decade and that she doesn't say that a lot but "tonight I will", I was like yasss queen own your shit.

3 hoes (109,332) by Zachariah from Croatia Does anyone else thinks that the first hoe from those three looks very like her late sister Alison? I mean, I hope she didn't go there. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 03:16)

Video is epic (109,316) by Zachariah from Croatia I loved it. It is giving me Britney Spears vibes from Toxic video. It is high budget, it totally captures the lyrics and it is epic. I already watched it like 10 times. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 21:30)

Mariah, on fire (109,226) by Zachariah from Croatia I tried both options - zero results. When I try to register, there is some kind of blockage for Croatia and I can't register. So dumb that they didn't post it on YouTube while everything else is. (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 12:04) this is a reply to message 109,216

Mariah, on fire (109,216) by Bobby A from United States You can watch the full show at BET.com with a 24-hour free pass by signing up on their website. [Webmaster: Or you can check their YouTube channel to see if the performance is already uploaded.] (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 16:06)

Mariah, on fire (109,214) by Zachariah from Croatia Where can I see the performance? I am trying to find it on YouTube but nothing. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 15:13) this is a reply to message 109,212

Mariah, on fire (109,212) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so BETs. Tell me why this woman looks like she's still in her early 30s. She looked absolutely breathtakingly stunning and every bit the mega star she is clad in that gorgeous gold mini dress fit for the music industry's golden girl. I liked that she was more playful with the performance, I do wish she wore more comfortable shoes so that she had the confidence to strut around by herself and strut onto the stage during the opening of the song it would have made it more fierce but I see her trying and I'll take it. I absolutely loved her second look too, she looked so angelic and pure and her speech was amazing. The little humor, her embracing her diva and extraness. This is a new Mariah era not just album wise but personally too. I also hear her team discounted the song right after BETs a smart move. I'm liking how her team is handling her so far. The roll out of this era has been amazing. I can't wait for the video. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 13:04)

BET performance (109,209) by Bobby A from United States Now that is how you do it. I loved it. MC's speech was short and sweet. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 06:08)

Type generous (109,158) by Zachariah from Croatia She is giving us pure art. So generous. I am so happy and proud to be her fan since 1990 and living in this era as well. She will show them all who rules this business and who deserves all the respect. Mariah, Croatian fans are behind you. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 16:06)

Type? Mariah (109,088) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed regarding hip-hop songs. I always liked that Mariah more than ballads crybaby Mariah. I wish she would stick with this style on the new album. (Friday 6 June 2025; 10:09) this is a reply to message 109,081

Type? Mariah (109,081) by Tony Lorenzo from UK Ecstatic. Fresh, original, yet quintessential Matiah, who is her own genre. I've always preferred her hiphop/rnb joints to her ballads, and she's leant into the genre on steroids. Amazing music that features her silky voice but with no need to wrap them around overly difficult melismas etc. I've been saying forever that she should ditch balladeering and utilise her vocals on stuff like this, and jazz, club tracks. Her lyricism is too good to be held back by the need to be belting all the time, especially when that style of singing gets increasingly hard the longer you do it. Her main strengths, even in the era of stuff like My All and her incredible ballads, was never her voice, which sounds absolutely crazy because she was unsurpassed vocally, with only one real peer in Whitney. It not being her main strength is not to denigrate her voice at all. It's just that her lyric writing, and her production skills are even better. Her song construction, her melody-writing, her wit... these things are what make Mariah Mariah. In some ways her vocals being so good have been responsible for her continued underrating. People focus on the vocals and high notes and miss the intricacy of her construction. You don't lose those skills, they improve. Hence the need for new music, despite her vocals having reached their peak a while back. She can still sing but perhaps doesn't feel like she needs to fall back on the voice as much any more so she can hit us with bops for the club, which are always the best songs on any of her albums. The chorus on this track is a slice of sonic bliss. Her rapping is perfect. The references are there. Based on this track, I'm anticipating yet another major renaissance for her, akin to Emancipation. She should with the strength of this, if kept up, be able to clock another couple of chart toppers. 20 has the perfect ring to it. And wouldn't she deserve it? Imagine what a beautiful narrative for someone's career that would make? The industry chooses who to focus on and blow up, just like it chooses who to ignore, or finish off when its decided their time's up. Well Mariah is proving her time aint up. The music industry should support this rebirth. Let Mariah bask in icon status like she literally deserves. Because these young guns thinking she only sings about Christmas need to know why she was one of the top musicians stretching over three (at least) generations. She is timeless. I pray the radio supports based purely on its quality. I don't fully understand how best to market music these days, but radio stations should be bussin this out every day. Yes there will be a cohort of old fans complaining it aint Hero Two. I could not be more dare I say it proud, and excited, and happy with this track. It had better be the launch for the fully deserved renaissance. She did it before, she can do it again, so long as the industry plays fair. (Friday 6 June 2025; 07:36)

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,912) by jaker20 from US I'm sorry but that sounds awful. It sounds basement quality done by 12 year olds experimenting on a remix. If Mariah approved this, then she's completely lost it. (Friday 30 May 2025; 21:39)
