AMA's anticipation is high (107,462) by Shezz from Pk RA thou art our glue. Nobody else has ever said anything like that to you so why would you let one person's isolated view silence you? (Monday 7 October 2024; 10:48)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,484) by C from United States One? (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 02:19) this is a reply to message 107,458

AMA's anticipation is high (107,458) by Stacey from USA No. You keep doing what makes you happy. Far as I can see, your posts are just fine. Just one bad apple, and do you know what we do with bad apples? Shake it off. (Monday 7 October 2024; 04:45)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,453) by C from United States So post topics dealing with the present for us to discuss. Be the change you want you want to see. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 19:45) this is a reply to message 107,449

AMA's anticipation is high (107,449) by Zachariah from Croatia I will speak for myself - I am quite because people with your writing style reject me from even putting an effort to write anything. I'm tired of constantly reviving old conspiracies about choosing her singles or old songs and dissecting how would they sound in a different arrangement and would could be and so on and so on and so on. It is tiring to me and because of that I just don't engage. I am only interest in the present. How to help to see her on the top again and not live on old fame. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 13:11)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,452) by C from United States I'm not sure if we're quiet, or if you dominate the conversation, lamb? (Sunday 6 October 2024; 19:44) this is a reply to message 107,447

AMA's anticipation is high (107,447) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am so excited for MC's performance on Sunday. I know she is going do well. I really feel she is going to have a huge recogition before her performance. By the way, why is everyone so quiet this month? (Saturday 5 October 2024; 13:17)

Topic (107,451) by C from United States The topic is not going away, so just skip those posts. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 19:40) this is a reply to message 107,437

(107,437) by Zachariah from Croatia Please do. Your constant voice bashing is getting really depressing. Even more since I think she sounds good and that she doesn't lipsync that much as people think. But that's me. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 13:06)

(107,428) by C from United States Are you trolling? (Sunday 29 September 2024; 20:40) this is a reply to message 107,421

(107,421) by Robert-Anthony from United States I woke up this morning that knowing MC is going to perform live without a backing track. She can do it. We need to hear her current vocals live sung one or two keys lower. (Friday 27 September 2024; 13:15)

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,365) by C from United States Can you share what sources lead you to believe she is in financial turmoil? (Thursday 19 September 2024; 12:49) this is a reply to message 107,353

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,353) by Brad from USA As a 34 year fan of MC, I had hoped it would never be her who would suffer financial ruin for overspending and mismanagement. She just seemed more diligent about that early in her career. But it seems she is ruined financially and mortgaged to her eyeballs. I know her vanity passive income projects have been a bust. She doesn't have the following or good reputation for stuff like that. Touring is all she can do at this point it seems. She's painted herself into a corner with her finances and diva persona that most folks aren't attracted to. Time for a reincarnation of Mimi. She has to bring something new to the masses to reinvent and renew her commercial viability. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 02:30)

The Neptunes (107,351) by C from United States What? Where did you hear that? (Sunday 15 September 2024; 17:44) this is a reply to message 107,349

The Neptunes (107,349) by Robert-Anthony from United States What is the story behind The Neptunes not allowing MC to have producer credits on Say Somethin and To the Floor? I never heard the full story. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 23:31)

MC (107,341) by C from United States What does this piece of one song prove? Why did you post [Angels cry] or [It's a wrap]? I don't live on the westside so no Bankhead for me. (Wednesday 11 September 2024; 13:07) this is a reply to message 107,332

MC (107,332) by Robert-Anthony from United States C, MC was giving us TEOM vocals that night with no backing tracks. I remember those piercing high notes she gave that night. Do we need to meet on Bankhead Highway? Lol. Check this out. (Saturday 7 September 2024; 21:51)

China and Brazil (107,340) by C from United States What do you base this belief on? (Wednesday 11 September 2024; 13:05) this is a reply to message 107,339

China and Brazil (107,339) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think the concerts in China and Brazil will be absolutely spectacular, seems like Mariah is on fire these days, although she has been through a lot. And Merry Christmas is already making its way throughout the world, this is what we have been waiting for guys, Mariah getting recognition for the icon she is (Monday 9 September 2024; 18:29)

Angels Advocate tour (107,331) by C from United States I was there too. There were backing tracks. (Saturday 7 September 2024; 19:40) this is a reply to message 107,320

Angels Advocate tour (107,320) by Robert-Anthony from United States That is the only tour that I have experienced. It was in Atlanta and her vocals were on point. There were no backing tracks. The crowd went crazy with every song. After the concert, we got to see MC walk out from back of the Fox Theatre onto a Peachtree Street side street and get into the limousine. It was something being that close to MC. I will never forget it. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 22:13)

MC (107,330) by C from United States What’s your source on this? (Saturday 7 September 2024; 19:39) this is a reply to message 107,326

MC (107,326) by Shezz from Pk Apparently she has adjusted the shows and the setlists to her current situation and is going ahead with the Brazil and China shows. Other than the obvious One Sweet Day addition, I wonder what songs she'll add that reflect her current state. I hope and think she'll add Petals. What do you guys think? (Friday 6 September 2024; 18:34)

Make It Fly Like a Bird (107,217) by C from United States Knocking MIH and FLAB for the middle of the road, pedestrian Through The Rain and Can't Take That Away is a wild take. (Friday 16 August 2024; 12:58) this is a reply to message 107,213

Make It Fly Like a Bird (107,213) by Randy from USA Mariah really loves Fly Like a Bird it seems. She performs it to a crescendo at many of her concerts. She's always loved Make It Happen for some reason or another, performing it at Divas 98 when she had a gazillion other songs to choose from. Neither one were massive hits but moreso as a fan, out of all her inspirational songs, neither of those do anything for me. I lump them with Hero. When I needed to get through my commute to work each morning after my supervisor promoted his side chick and a man's man over me in 2017, I remember playing Through The Rain every single morning to my eyes welling up. When I gained weight and had a friend tell me, "you should've known that would end your chances at a relationship, this is Atlanta," I played Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) countless evenings while steaming broccoli and grilling chicken breast seasoned with thoughts of self-harm. Mariah has talked so bad about Through The Rain and blamed it for Charmbracelet failing. I mean, did Fly Like a Bird even chart? Make it Happen did make it to the top 5 but I swear neither of those songs do anything for me. While Through the Rain and Can't Take That Away are some of the first songs I would play to a non-Mariah person. You know, like an alien. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 13:36)

Meteorite (107,212) by C from United States It was a missed chance for a 2014 hit. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 03:39) this is a reply to message 107,207

Meteorite (107,207) by Randy from USA C thanks for the info. I heard it for the first time today in SoundCloud. It sounds like it's truer to the sample. Hers sounds more trippy/rave/trance like. I imagine doing illicit drugs in Studio 54 in the 70s to hers. His, if slowed up, sounds like TEOM fare. Here's the link if anyone's interested. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 22:11)

Revisiting MIAMTEC and Caution (107,203) by C from United States His version is online. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 12:57) this is a reply to message 107,200

Revisiting MIAMTEC and Caution (107,200) by Robert-Anthony from United States Did you know that QTip's version of Meteorite was changed by MC to the version that made it onto the album? MC said in an interview that he was mad at her for doing that. I would love to hear his version. (Monday 12 August 2024; 16:24)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,192) by C from United States How did that prove she was singing live? (Sunday 11 August 2024; 22:27) this is a reply to message 107,190

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,190) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I wonder what she's struggling with. That was really sad to watch. Reminds me of years back when she started crying during a performance of Outside (I believe; she was wearing black feathers and had just had that accident on the set of the #Beautiful remix video set), or when she cried at the Christmas concert when her and Nick were breaking up. At least we know she's singing live, but it was hard watching the backup singers and band keep looping back waiting for her to jump back in. I wonder if all the focus and discussion on Celine's struggle with her voice and illness is making Mimi reflect on her own vocal aging. No Olympian can do what they did in their 20's while they're in their 50's. Anyway, it breaks my heart when I see Mariah cry. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 20:39)

Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,115) by C from United States It's August. Someone is always releasing a holiday album (that's M's impact). They usually don't announce it until October. (Monday 5 August 2024; 12:07) this is a reply to message 107,110

Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,110) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was just thinking again today as I prepare to return to my long work days this week. We all know MC is just not going out on a 20 city tour without some huge Merry Christmas album surprises to support the tour and the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary. As far as I can find with my research, no one else is releasing a new Christmas album this year. So, MC just may do extremely well this Christmas season. (Monday 5 August 2024; 03:06)

The girl who lipped wolf (107,111) by C from United States Let's not go overboard with the sudden Celine worship. She has always been ripped apart for her artistry and seen as the lest cool of the divas up until she became a fashion icon. Why do you all make it seem like Mariah was obsessed with #1 hits? Which popular artist isn't keeping an eye on the charts? Celine was chart watching just all of them were in their prime. (Monday 5 August 2024; 03:35) this is a reply to message 107,109

The girl who lipped wolf (107,109) by Edward from USA Celine was smart, she never focused too much on achieving number-one hits, yet she managed to earn widespread respect. She has always been consistent, endearing herself to fans and the general public alike. Like Barbra, she has maintained a loyal core fanbase that she can always rely on. Although she doesn't sell as many albums as she once did, she continues to sell concert tickets, and they are certainly not cheap. One thing about Celine is that she's a true performer and entertainer; she never just stands there, and she can walk without help. (Monday 5 August 2024; 02:09)

Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,108) by C from United States No thanks. No one is asking for this. There is no more juice in this fruit. The only thing I'd want released is a poster, the St. John the Divine concerts out in streaming (including Hero), and the r&b/video version of Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) added to streaming. I need to know what is planned for Daydream 30 - I have a feeling it's not much (Monday 5 August 2024; 00:49) this is a reply to message 107,107

Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,107) by Robert-Anthony from United States Here are my top 8 for suprises. 1. AIWFCIY ft. Jimmy Fallon (from the December 5, 2012 The Tonight Show) 2. Silent Night or Holy Night ft. The Clark Sisters 3. The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole cover) 4. AIWFCIY ft. Kelly Clarkson 5. Jesus Born On This Day - acapella 6. MC and Maxwell - new Christmas duet 7. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) ft. One Republic 8. Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child ft. Kirk Franklin and family (Sunday 4 August 2024; 22:53)

MC16 (107,082) by C from United States She isn't going to sign off on live stuff being released. (Friday 2 August 2024; 13:05) this is a reply to message 107,067

MC16 (107,067) by Robert-Anthony from United States I wonder why Columbia Legacy or Def Jam/Island Records hasn't released more box set compilations with album singles or remixes or even Grammy/TV performances. I would love to have her MTV, BET or network tv specials on DVD. Does MC have to give her permission to create and release such compilations or DVDs? (Thursday 1 August 2024; 00:50)

(107,081) by C from United States Improved on what? It's not live. (Friday 2 August 2024; 13:03) this is a reply to message 107,080

(107,080) by Terna from Nigeria Damn. I'm pleasantly surprised. "Fly like a bird" is a song she always kills every time she performs it, and is always such a triumphant moment for her. I got chills honestly. It is also the concert encore now, which makes sense since it is also the album closer on "The Emancipation of Mimi". Her voice is improving. (Friday 2 August 2024; 12:38)

Old concerts and old music (107,015) by C from United States This would be her best bet. She won't do it, however. She is so preoccupied with perfection that she won't release footage that has a certain angle or off note. I'm still surprised she released the Tatoo club 1990 show to streaming. I'm convinced she has at least some footage from all of her tours, but she won't release it. Same with Whitney's estate. (Monday 29 July 2024; 03:27) this is a reply to message 107,011

Old concerts and old music (107,011) by TJ from Norway I hope that Mariah can release her old concerts on YouTube or DVD (or something) someday soon. There must be a lot of material somewhere. I know she was supposed to release a DVD from her CB gig in Paris. That was a good show. And what about the Music Box tour? What I've seen on YouTube is amazing. And I do need the other version of AIYM. Where did the vault go? Her alternative rock album? I would rather get that music instead of more slow "RnB". If there's new music it would be interesting with other genres, or maybe old hits from the 50's or 60's and even older. Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and many more. And you all should listen to If it's Over today. The album version, SNL or some other live performance, just to remember what she used to be. I love that song. Always and forever.

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,014) by C from United States This type of sycophancy is dangerous and unhinged. (Monday 29 July 2024; 03:23) this is a reply to message 107,004

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,004) by Edward from USA Mariah doesn't owe anyone anything. If she chooses to stand there and lip-sync poorly, it's up to her devoted fans if they want to pay for it and pretend she's singing. She has two young children who need her full attention, and she doesn't have time for extensive rehearsals. Caring for her babies is demanding, so don't be so judgmental. It's clear she doesn't care much, so why should you? She wants her money now, and there's nothing wrong with that. Has it occurred to you that maybe Mariah is just preserving her voice so she can still hum when she's 58? As real fans, you should buy multiple tickets and celebrate her now that she can at least still walk on stage and smile. Leave your negativity at the door, please. (Sunday 28 July 2024; 18:59)

Infinity video (106,887) by C from United States What about the video was great in concept? The scenes that were in the teaser that didn't show up in the final video would have been better than the live shots. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 01:46) this is a reply to message 106,884

Infinity video (106,884) by Robert-Anthony from United States You can't deny that the video for Infinity is one her most well thought out videos. Probably better than GTFO and With You. Those two videos received mediorce video treatments. By the way, Tayla Parxx, Infinity co-writer, made me watch the video today because she is hotter than a firecracker at Normani for not giving her proper album credit for the song Insomina which she co-wrote with Normani, Victoria Monet, Brandy, and Stargate. However, Normani delivers Tayla another low blow by giving her songwriting credit in a interview this week and said that she hadn't seen Tayla in awhile. (Monday 15 July 2024; 23:44)

What’s left? (106,883) by C from United States For Daydream30, what's left unused/unreleased/in the vault that we want? I wouldn't mind a hybrid album of Daydream and Ugly Daughter, it could be sequenced in the order the made the songs or a thematic paring. For example, if she was working on ABMB during the day and Dememted during the night, those songs can be sequenced together. Call the hybrid project "Maladaptive Daydream". Daydream rehearsal footage. We're more likely to get tour footage from this show because she would be less critical of the vocals (why I believe we will never get [Rainbow] or [Charmbracelet] tour footage). She will likely make Looking In the acapella release like she did with Outside on [Butterfly] or [Music Box] on MB. However, I'd love to have the album version of Fantasy be released acapella. There is so much going on in that song that it needs to be fully appreciated. Have we ever understood why the full Daydream photoshoot has never been released? Why was only 1 picture used for artwork and a single? We need to see the whole shoot. There are lq outtakes that suggest there are several pics in the shoot I'd love to hear some [Daydream] demos or different takes of songs. If indeed the OSD video is the actual recording of the song, release the entirety of the footage so we can see how the song came together in real time. (Monday 15 July 2024; 21:55)
