Salma Hayek is a very beautiful woman. Not even in her worst day she would look like those three hatin' ass hoes.

The third hatin' ass ho looked like Salma Hayek to me when she was on the Mexican telenovela Teresa. But Salma Hayek doesn't seem like a hatin' ass ho, so it's probably a coincidence.

Album title (109,624)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
I was thinking about album titles and I had an epiphany. These would be great titles: 1. "16 Octaves, 12 High Notes and 0 Phucks to Give" 2. "I Don't Know Her (But this Album Knows All Your Secrets)" 3. "Reprimanded" 4. "Mermaid Tears, Butterfly Wings, and a Grammy I Deserved in 1996"

Bobby A, holding up on revealing the album title actually builds anticipation. TD is pretty much a thing of the past now. The info we got was more than enough: the album's finished, it'll have 11-12 tracks, a new summery single is coming soon and we're getting at least one big ballad. Remember that gluttony and greed are two of the seven deadly sins.

Getting the album title from MC is where Nate and Ebro failed during the Apple interview. I don't understand why she just didn't reveal the title during the interview. It is not like another artist is going to steal the title for their new album. I feel it is going to be a one or two word title that she has titled her most her successful albums. Plus, I feel L.A. Reid and Larry Jackson has some new music industry tricks up their sleeves if MC just plays her cards right and listens to both men. I believe she is listening this time. The Grammy and Rock and Hall of Fame stakes are higher because she wants them take to notice of her work in 2026.

I always thought #Beautiful was a solid song, but it felt like it was missing something, maybe a bridge or a little extra punch. Now, the remix with Jeezy was imply great to me. That high note around the 3-minute mark? Pure heaven.

I don't recall reprimanding an Eric but that doesn't mean I didn't. Bobby A, solid. Mimi L, impeccable. TJ, good. Zachariah, very good. Sascha, also very good. And Edward, you've been good too. You may now exhale (but I'm watching all of you).

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,538)
by Edward from USA

Mariah stated herself that she never recorded LOB in the studio. While "The Art of Letting Go" was leaked as an upcoming album on some places like Walmart, it was just the name. There not any other leaks that mentioned LOB before she performed live.

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,528)
by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
| |
|
|
Just a random question about this song. In 2013 when Mariah was about to release The Art of Letting Go album, the tracklisting that leaked had this song on it together with You're Mine, You Don't Know What, Supernatural etc, so I know that leak was legit. Then the album was postponed and this song was not on the album but Mariah performed it on her tour in 2014. Later this song was released as live version taken from her concert on The Rarities. So my question is, do you think Mariah had a hidden album version of this song somewhere in the vault? It would be nice to hear a studio version.

Three voices, one problem (109,533)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Lyrics got written, music was produced and then a demo was made. Barbra most likely recorded the entire song by herself. Then, the parts that Ariana and Mariah were meant to sing were stripped from the demo and sent for them to fill in the blanks. Of course the original demo was also sent to use as reference. Then, Walter later stitched it all together.
So no, these ladies were never in the studio at the same time. It's pretty standard these days and even easier with technology. Mariah prefers laying her vocals alone with her recording engineer. Ariana lays her vocals in a completely dark booth.
Could this be considered as a Mariah and Walter collabo? No, in my humble opinion. In 99% of their collabos, Mariah wrote the lyrics and had the melody in her head, then Walter would put that melody into music and produced it.

Three voices, one problem (109,526)
by Shezz from Pk
| |
|
|
That's exactly how it went according to Barbra in a recent interview. They all recorded their parts separately and then it was put together. How does that even work I sometimes try to imagine. All 3 sing all of it then their parts are picked or they just sing their assigned parts? Sounds like there's no room for any synergy of energies there.
I don't fault Mariah here at all. She did not write the lyrics, the melody, nothing. Did the best she could with her voice. I don't think this is any indication of MC16 whatsoever.
Not a bad song but it could have soared. Mariah should have been in charge of writing and producing it but I suppose with Walter in charge that was not really an option.

One Heart, One Voice (109,495)
by Randy from USA
| |
|
|
I don't like it. Here's the thing. I knew it would be a ballad from the 90s. I knew it would feel "crowded". And I do think it's genius how he interchanged them throughout the verses. I am a Mariah Carey fan and what's most important to me is a lyric. Then the vocal. Then the arrangement. The lyrics are both banal and generic. It's not a song that needed to be written. It's been written before. I feel as though this is one of the songs sung before a Super Bowl national anthem with young girls from around the world tryna count steps with lame choreography. It belongs at the end of a really bad movie where the credits are more entertaining than the plot. My favorite person on this board woke me up out my sleep with a text for this? It's just Another Trite Hope Song rackin my brain like crazy.

I'm pleasantly surprised, "One Heart, One Voice" is very smooth, their voices blend together well. Different from the "Yes, And?" fiasco, this collabo works. At 83, Barbra sounds amazing.

The music (109,468)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Guys, it's 2025, enjoy the music. Chart positions don't define greatness anymore. Mariah had an unmatched prime, let's celebrate that. We're blessed to have experienced "The Voice" at its glory, and that's something truly special. Mariah's a one in a lifetime experience.
I don't know about y'all, but I feel lucky to have experienced her greatness. Most artists on the charts aren't even close to her level. Maybe it's the wine talking but I'm at peace with everything she's given us. It's been an incredible ride.
Remember that no matter how great, nobody stays at the top forever.

35 years in the game (109,434)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Bobby A, unfortunately, Mariah has her age working against her in today's music scene. For something to really take off as per some people's expectations here, she would have to pull a "Believe" moment like Cher did. I personally like and appreciate what we've gotten so far, but "TD" is not that moment.
With short attention spans these days and everything being so instantly accessible, a song has to hit right away to make an impact. It's a different game now.
Being a legacy artist doesn't help much either. Radio rarely supports older artists, a song from them would have to be twice as great as the next one. There's no real formula for a hit, even great music can flop. At the end of the day, it all depends on whether the general public connects with it, especially the younger crowd who drive most of the streaming. The music needs to feel current and cool to them.
I've said it before, Mariah helped so many people when she was on top. It's time for a big name to return the favor and boost one of her projects. She deserves it.

35 years in the game (109,432)
by Bobby A from United States

I am sure MC and L.A. Reid have listened to what she has sequenced so far and he probably has suggested that MC return back to the studio and record some more songs. What if TD was a test single to guage how listeners would react. I give their reaction a 7, but a 10 is needed to launch MC16. I found it odd that we didn't find out the album title and release date on June 6th if she was sequencing the album.

35 years in the game (109,430)
by Edward from USA

|

I see some of you are obsessing over chart positions. Remember that Gamma doesn't have a magic wand to make things happen. They can do their part, but remember that "Caution" was released seven years ago. It's not like she's been gaining tons of new fans since then.
Streaming is an indication of where things are going. The video for TD has been out for seven days and it is sitting at barely 1.7M views. The blaming game most of us like to play when things are not going as expected with Mariah is kind of getting tired now.
At this point, the only way TD gets a boost is if they drop a hot remix with a current artist. As I have stated, I like TD and I'm just hoping the album delivers something solid overall. But let's not pretend this is another "It's Like That".
Mariah's been in the game for 35 years, so I don't have unrealistic expectations. If she wants a real hit, she's gonna have to actually sing and come with something stronger. With that being said, I'm totally fine with what she's given us so far, song and video included.

Possible MC16 track (109,405)

These days, it's pretty easy to keep songs and albums from leaking since everything drops on streaming first anyway. So if something shows up early online, chances are they wanted it to.

I can't view it for some reason but if it's that TikTok account which "leaked" two "demos" one being velvet smoke or something and the other a song similar to "bitch I'm Mariah" I hated both. Mariah would never do those lyrics and it was too shouty. I think they're keeping tight leash on the material and won't allow leaks.

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.

I don't think it's about confidence or the lack of it. Confidence alone doesn't magically produce a voice that's no longer there. At this point, it's clear she's not putting herself through that anymore. "The Voice" has always been the centerpiece, but as it's changed, her approach should too. I actually respect that she's working with whatever she has left, no more gimmicks, no wall of background vocals, no smoke and mirrors. Just as is. I think she should keep it simple and lean into the artistry that's still there. Like I said before, chart positions aren't the point anymore. What matters is the music. And right now, we've got a fresh single and a solid video, and that's good enough for me.

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.

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.

Big mistake. Last person who called Bill handsome on this board got their face scratched off by Bobby A. We have a code around here, read carefully if you care about you face, everyone knows Bill's handsome, but we don't say it. One guy wouldn't stop, and, well... he moved to Indiana and we never heard from him again. I would suggest you get a helmet. I realized I said it twice in this post and I'm panicking.
