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

Unpopular opinions (109,659) by Zachariah from Croatia 1. I don't pay any attention anymore to albums before the Butterfly album and find them boring as hell. 2. Touch My Body has an annoying beat and I skip the song as soon as it comes on in my car. 3. Sometimes, I forget that album Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse exists. 4. Merry Christmas II You is much better than Merry Christmas and after Butterfly, her best album ever. (Wednesday 9 July 2025; 21:31) this is a reply to message 109,657

Unpopular opinions (109,657) by Haiji from United States Regarding only songs or albums, what are some unpopular opinions you all got? "Hero" still hasn't grown on me yet. "Thank God I Found You" was not #1 worthy and based on how many song I listen to from each album, Caution is my least favorite. (Wednesday 9 July 2025; 16:34)

Album title (109,654) by Zachariah from Croatia 16th Anniversary. (Tuesday 8 July 2025; 23:38) this is a reply to message 109,652

I Stay In Love (109,647) by Zachariah from Croatia Wasn't. It was supposed to be wasn't. (Monday 7 July 2025; 12:06) this is a reply to message 109,646

I Stay In Love (109,646) by Lighty from China I thought that video was indeed directed by Nick. (Monday 7 July 2025; 10:54)

I Stay In Love (109,645) by Zachariah from Croatia That song would be such a bigger hit if only the video was made by Nick. The song is epic. Exactly that, classic Mariah. (Monday 7 July 2025; 08:18) this is a reply to message 109,644

I Stay In Love (109,644) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so I was scrolling TikTok and I randomly happened up a snippet of ISIL and I don't know why that song was so hated, it's actually pretty nice and very classic Mariah. I know it was put in the trash can as a WBT dupe but I think it's a decent song with a great beat. Anyways just my two cents, justice for ISIL. (Monday 7 July 2025; 00:00)

#Beautiful / album title (109,614) by Zachariah from Croatia #Beautiful, for me, had one parameter [too] much in [its] formula and that was Miguel. For me, it had a great sound, melody, even the video, but it felt like it was his song feat. Mariah. Hated that. Regarding the title of a new album: I am ok with MC16 or MC Sweet 16. Beauty [School] Drop Out is not something other people, who are not hard core fans and don't know the reference, would get or understand. (Friday 4 July 2025; 18:42)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms her new album is finished (109,578) by Zachariah from Croatia I honestly want both. I still love to blast There For Me and switch to Don't Forget About Us. So different but so powerful. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 08:16) this is a reply to message 109,570

Article: Mariah Carey confirms her new album is finished (109,570) by Max from Germany I'm just curious what Mariah ballads mean. Ballads before WBT or WBT clones? (Wednesday 2 July 2025; 18:55)

Apple interview (109,555) by Zachariah from Croatia Thank you for the news, I appreciate it. It would be great to have circa 14 songs but 12 is still ok. I hope the new single will be a bigger hit than Type Dangerous, which I love as well, but I think is was really more oriented towards us, the real fans who stuck around. (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 10:01) this is a reply to message 109,553

Apple interview (109,553) by Bobby A from United States MC16 is done. MC16 will have 11-12 songs. There are Mariah ballads. The second single is coming soon. It is very summery and MC loves the beat. I am not complaining, but why just 11-12 songs? Is that an industry standard these days to increase the chances of individual songs streamed to increase album sales? (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 06:59)

One Heart One Voice (109,554) by Zachariah from Croatia Not Mariah's. (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 08:52) this is a reply to message 109,540

One Heart One Voice (109,540) by Stacey from USA There are plenty of songs that chart on the Hot 100 that have no place being there. (Monday 30 June 2025; 03:36)

One Heart One Voice (109,535) by Zachariah from Croatia Letś not forget that "I Don't" made it to 89th position on US Billboard Hot 100. I love that song and find it much better than Type Dangerous. (Monday 30 June 2025; 00:52) this is a reply to message 109,524

One Heart One Voice (109,524) by Stacey from USA Exactly. I'm glad she's still recording music. It's not as bad as some claim. Don't forget we have Crapfinity and I Don't. Yikes. (Sunday 29 June 2025; 07:36)

Barbra's song (109,488) by Zachariah from Croatia Sounds great, I really love it. (Friday 27 June 2025; 08:23) this is a reply to message 109,481

Barbra's song (109,481) by Hector from Mexico How beautiful it is to hear Mariah under Walter's production again. One heart, One voice is great. (Friday 27 June 2025; 00:42)

What's your thoughts? (109,464) by Zachariah from Croatia The song is literally a present and appreciation for us and DJ's for their support. As it says in the song in the beginning. Only us, the real fans know the references in the video and clues from her life through years. The fact in got so many attention is great. And she will build more momentum with new singles.

What's your thoughts? (109,456) by Tevin from USA Now that the hype for TD has cold off, what is everyone's thoughts on the single? Personally I think it was a fun song and I hope it makes it on MC 16 and doesn't get regulated to buzz single status. I do think one mistake that was made with the song was the fact that Mariah broke her code of making her songs ambiguous. Songs like Obsessed and ILT was clearly referencing situations in Mariah's life, but lyrically the GP could connect and relate in their own way to the song. Where in TD whether real or fiction, the lyrics was about Mariah Mariah Mariah. The presentation was to immature for older listeners, while the call backs and references flew right over younger listeners heads. To be honest, it's a good song but if I wasn't a Mariah Carey fan, I could care less what type of love interests she is interested in. That's why I think its failing with the GP. I'm sure Mariah has even better songs coming. I just hope she has something that is relatable to the GP. Something that's catchy and simple, yet has depth to it, to appeal to all listeners. What are you thoughts on TD? (Tuesday 24 June 2025; 19:06)

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

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.

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)
