About Bill from the UK: I love Mariah more than you do. London Daydream Tour Attendee.

Daydream 30 (114,185) by Bill from the UK One Sweet Day was only a massive hit in the US. Everywhere else it was just a top ten that came and went like every other song. It meant Open Arms could be released everywhere else whilst OSD was still dragging its heels at Number One in the US. Jagged Little Pill was massive everywhere, Alanis was a fresh new talent unlike anything else at that time. She deserved to win. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 17:17) this is a reply to message 114,183

Daydream 30 (114,183) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, but MC was the ultimate female star and singer in 95/96. Her hits were played nonstop on the radio even here in Germany. The same with the videos on MTV. Sure Alanis had "Ironic" but compared to Daydream and "One sweet day" it was just a shame that Mariah didn't win at least one Grammy. It was complete unfair and I understand that she was shocked back then on her second peak of her career and fame (after Music Box). There was Mariah mania and no Grammy. On a funny side note: I didn't like Alanis and her music in 96. Because she was the complete opposite from Mariah, musicwise and everything. Lol. Nowadays it's still not "my" music but I like her. Compared to today's music I can enjoy Alanis. I liked her gig during the WorldCup. And I hope England wins today. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 14:22)

Daydream 30 (114,173) by Bill from the UK To be fair nothing was going to stand in the way of Jagged Little Pill. That album was absolutely incredible. But, MC definitely should have took home some awards in the other categories she was nominated in. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 01:10) this is a reply to message 114,171

Daydream 30 (114,171) by Bobby A from United States The excitement about Daydream 30 had me thinking today, why was MC so disappointed about her Grammys loses in 1996? MC probably felt that Daydream was her best album of her career at that point. She recorded the greatest pop songs of her career at that time with Fantasy, One Sweet Day, and Always Be My Baby. However, the whole album was overlooked by the Grammys. Why? There are reasons why MC's Daydream and India Aire's Acoustic Soul were both overlooked by the Grammys in 1996 and 2002 that should be discussed. Both are unique female singers who sound and compose like no other female artists. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 00:14)

Whitney vs MC (114,164) by Bill from the UK Indeed. I saw some video of her in a supermarket and she was clearly on something. Either high as a kite or severely impacted by some disease that renders her unable to freely move. It's like she has Parkinson's or is in a state of withdrawal or something. Lord knows what is going on with her, but it is so worrying. (Tuesday 14 July 2026; 15:22) this is a reply to message 114,162

Whitney vs MC (114,162) by Sasha from Nomansland Who says Mariah isn't a drug addict, an alcoholic, or hooked on medication? We've witnessed several incidents in recent years where her behavior suggested she was likely under the influence, and you can't just blame it all on her bipolar disorder. She was bipolar for years without anyone knowing and it didn't show. Perhaps she's currently managing to hide her addictions and keep them somewhat under control. I don't think her behavior on stage in recent years has been any more acceptable or classy than Whitney Houston's. The difference is that Whitney was openly a junkie, whereas Mariah is just good at keeps it hidden. For now. (Tuesday 14 July 2026; 14:55)

Whitney vs MC (114,163) by Bill from the UK Great post Eddie. (Tuesday 14 July 2026; 15:20) this is a reply to message 114,156

Whitney vs MC (114,156) by Edward from USA Perception matters, my dear, especially when it comes to being taken seriously as an artist. Whitney was always Whitney. At her peak, she was phenomenal, and at her lowest, she never relied on smoke and mirrors to convince people she could still sing the way she once did. Everyone knew her voice had declined, but she still got on stage and sang. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but people respected the honesty. She also remained grounded. Even during the darkest periods of her life, she came across as authentic and self aware. She could sit down for an interview, have an intelligent conversation, laugh at herself, and connect with people. That authenticity went a long way in shaping how the public perceived her. In my opinion, Mariah is actually the superior overall vocalist. Her range, agility, musicality, and songwriting place her in a league of her own. But somewhere along the way, as Britney once said, she started believing her own hype, and everything went downhill from there. The biggest issue isn't even the vocal decline itself. It happens to every great singer eventually. Aretha's voice was basically shot by the time she passed. The difference is how Mariah chose to handle it. She leaned more and more into heavy lipping, to the point where entire concerts often feel more choreographed around playback cues than live singing. There's a huge difference between using backing tracks for a difficult climax or to protect your voice and essentially lipping through 80% of a concert. Whitney was booed in Australia and criticized elsewhere because people could hear that her voice wasn't what it once was. Some fans even walked out. But she still stood there and sang. She didn't try to convince the audience they were hearing something they weren't. Whether people enjoyed the performance or not, there was an honesty to it that earned respect. People also forget that Whitney remained remarkably consistent for nearly two decades. Even on "Just Whitney", released in 2002, she still sounded very good considering everything she was dealing with. Mariah's vocal consistency, on the other hand, began to decline much earlier, only about seven years into her career. She could still blow and make great albums like "Glitter", but reproducing that level of singing live became increasingly difficult, and that's what stayed in people's minds. Then there's the performance aspect. Whitney remained a natural entertainer almost until the end. Mariah, by contrast, has become increasingly limited on stage over the past decade. Whether it's because of physical limitations, high heels, or simply her bipolar condition, she often appears stiff and overly cautious, which only reinforces the perception that everything is carefully controlled. So yes, I still believe Mariah is the greater overall artist. But I also think she bears the responsibility for the way she's perceived today. It's not just because her voice changed. It's because of the image she cultivated, the reliance on heavy lipping, and the over the top diva persona that eventually ended up lifting her feet from solid ground and devouring her. Legacy isn't built solely on vocal ability, chart records, or awards. It's also built on credibility, authenticity, and the impression you leave on people. That's why artists like Whitney, Barbra Streisand, and Celine Dion continue to command a certain level of universal respect. Their accomplishments matter, but so does the way they've carried themselves. Mariah's legacy is extraordinary, and nothing can erase what she's accomplished. But perception matters. It's what people remember when your name comes up in conversation. Sadly, even many of her longtime fans who once proudly wore her name on their heads now prefer to keep it to themselves. I don't think that's because we've stopped loving her. It's because, over the years, she's made it increasingly difficult for us to defend her, people can't seem to separate the legendary artist from the diva persona she's keeps holding on to. She really thinks the diva persona is killing it, and she's actually right about it. (Monday 13 July 2026; 17:16)

I could never forget about Daydream (114,149) by Bill from the UK I hope the album gets a high-res remaster, as it's her only Sony album (not including Unplugged) to have not received that treatment. It should obviously have the Chick album on it with Mariah's vocals, some select remixes, some more unearthed b-sides as I'm sure there's more than what appeared on The Rarities, and to top it all off, the audio of the London leg of the Daydream Tour, for which I was an attendee.

I could never forget about Daydream (114,144) by Bobby A from United States What could MC possibly have in store for Daydream 30? Are there more leftover tracks that were not chosen for the album? (Monday 13 July 2026; 00:28)

HQ album artwork (114,148) by Bill from the UK Try fanart.tv or album art exchange. I uploaded all MC's single covers to the latter that I spent hours painstakingly correcting and perfecting in Photoshop. (Monday 13 July 2026; 07:25) this is a reply to message 114,127

HQ album artwork (114,127) by Loverboy23 from United States Does anyone know where I can find high quality album artwork for Mariah? I've uploaded my music to a new laptop and none of the files carried over the artwork. iTunes does populate some correctly but totally misses the mark on others. Google images is a joke now so that's no help. I remember coming across a site that had press releases and pictures of Mariah broken down by year but my searches come up with nothing. Thank you in advance. (Saturday 11 July 2026; 20:04)

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,125) by Bill from the UK Yes I agree. Mariah was an astonishingly good singer for the first five or so years of her career, but that was it. She's been a good songwriter for longer, but has stayed to one genre and often one subject matter. Her biggest hits lean heavily on sampled material. Her albums are great, but formulaic and not groundbreaking. This is why I think I will always say her debut era was the best. Her voice was the fullest, purest, and best it ever sounded. Her live performances were jaw-droppingly good. Her album, so far the only one in her career, was 100% original material. Her compositions with Margulies were all unique, and different in their style, arrangement, production, and sonically too. Her look was natural, original, and effortlessly flawless. We had a vision of love. And it was all that she turned out to be. (Friday 10 July 2026; 20:12) this is a reply to message 114,124

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,124) by Lee from UK I agree - there was something about Mariah's voice between 1990 and 1994 which just sounded mature, especially in those songs you mentioned; she sounds like a much older singer - in a good way - than someone in her 20s. I know it has a lot do with her style of singing then compared to now. I have said it here before and it's worth repeating. Early in her career, Mariah's voice was full, her vowel sounds carried depth and power. Her more recent vocals have lacked this depth with her vowels sounding scratchy. Her singing voice is more like her speaking voice now as you can hear her accent in her singing. Back in the day, Mariah's singing voice was worlds apart from her speaking voice. I couldn't believe it when I heard Mariah speaking in an interveiw for the first time; how does this monotone low voice produce such range and clarity. (Friday 10 July 2026; 16:25)

MC's best bridge (114,114) by Bill from the UK Do you even realise The sorrow I have inside Every day of my life Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies I try and try To deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind And, of course: I've realised a dream And I visualised The love that came to be Feel so alive I'm so thankful that I've received The answer that heaven Has sent down to me (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 19:47) this is a reply to message 114,110

MC's best bridge (114,110) by MusicfanJ from Germany One of the best for sure. Here's another favourite: And I will breathe for you each day Comfort you through all the pain Gently kiss your fears away, mmm You can turn to me and cry Always understand that I Give you all I am inside (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 14:24)

MC's best bridge (114,090) by Bill from the UK I once was lost but now I'm found I got my feet on solid ground Thank you Lord If you believe within your soul Just hold on tight and don't let go You can make it Make it happen (Friday 3 July 2026; 17:19) this is a reply to message 114,084

MC's best bridge (114,084) by Bobby A from United States I have to say Crybaby has to be MC's best written bridge ever. What do you think? I know there are four other MC songs that would land in the top 5 of her best bridge section ever. (Friday 3 July 2026; 01:48)

It's a wrap (114,019) by Bill from the UK Me too. I've found some peace living in my 90s bubble and enjoying her performances, interviews, albums, and remixes from that decade. So glad I was there at the time and witnessed it all first hand, and I'll be eternally grateful that I attended the Daydream Tour's London concert. I still get a pang when I watch her interview on This Morning in the UK, where she said "I would never lip sync." Oh Mariah. (Friday 19 June 2026; 15:35) this is a reply to message 114,018

It's a wrap (114,018) by Jamie from UK Yes watching her early interviews she's all about the music. Now all she really cares about is how she looks, some of which will have affected her voice indirectly and directly. She once said she wasn't all about the glitz and glamour. Now that's all she's about. It's a real shame she went this way, but she only has herself to blame. It was cute at first but eventually it's overtaken the music and even her personality. She will never be like she was but it would be nice for her to still be humble and connected. I used to follow Mariah to hotels just to get a glimpse of her, I couldn't wait to see her on TV or in concerts, I'd constantly be chasing down memorabilia. It's a sad day when I'm clinging onto the old Mariah and the pre 2016 Mariah as I currently feel disconnected from who she is right now. It makes me sad to feel this way.

Article: Mariah Carey doesn't show up for longtime collaborator (114,001) by Bill from the UK The Walter collab list does the rounds almost as much as my list of excuses I post every so often lol. (Tuesday 16 June 2026; 16:40) this is a reply to message 114,000

Article: Mariah Carey doesn't show up for longtime collaborator (114,000) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I always get sad when an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about writes nonsenses like "Who are the other superstars that Walter had success with?" OK, here we go again: - Barbra Streisand - Celine Dion - Destiny's Child - Michael Bolton - Kenny G - Daryl Hall - Luther Vandross - New Kids on the Block - Dusty Springfield - All-4-One - Tina Arena - Gary Barlow - Babyface - Paul Anka - Savage Garden - Marc Anthony - Ricky Martin - Lara Fabian - Christina Aguilera - Josh Groban - Lionel Richie - Jessica Simpson - Earth, Wind & Fire - Leona Lewis - Brian McKnight - Idina Menzel - Neil Diamond (Tuesday 16 June 2026; 14:32)

It's a wrap (113,988) by Bill from the UK I did see that my friend, and like every time I see her and JD in that damn studio together I inwardly sigh because she's once again staying in the same gear she's been in since Butterfly. At this point I'm wishing they are there to close that blessed studio down once and for all. (Monday 15 June 2026; 14:51) this is a reply to message 113,978

It's a wrap (113,978) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I don't feel MC is ready to just be a songwriter for Ariana or another artist. Did you see that she went back into the studio with JD and Bryan-Michael Cox yesterday? MC17 just might be in our hands next year. (Sunday 14 June 2026; 21:45)

It's a wrap (113,969) by Bill from the UK I can't even begin to imagine how she must feel having to lip sync everything, and spend literal years in a studio to make an album that vocally wasn't good at all, when 30 years ago she could sing effortlessly, and brought the house down with her performances. The reality is her voice is completely damaged beyond repair. At this point, it doesn't even matter if the reason is alcohol, medication, improper care, nodules, over singing etc. Her gift has gone and whether that was down to her arrogantly squandering it, or for reasons beyond her control I don't think we will ever know. But keeping up this charade must psychologically take its toll. That is why I have always said it would be better that she admits defeat, gracefully bows out, and spends her remaining years writing. Imagine her writing an entire album for Ariana? It would be Ariana's dream, and MC could live vicariously through someone that can sing as well as she once could.

It's a wrap (113,966) by Lara from Middle East Her voice is seriously damaged from all these years, which is somehow expected. And her writing skills are nowhere where they're used to be, and that is probably from her medication literally blocking her brain. Most bipolar artists get creative during (hypo)mania episodes and the medication work on blocking those (among with the depressive ones). Mariah knows it but can't do anything about it, I guess that explains the lack of energy we see. Don't expect anything more from her, at this point I don't know if she's still enjoying making music with all her limitations. (Sunday 14 June 2026; 00:21)

Lead The Way (113,862) by Bill from the UK On top of that, J.Lo/Tommy also gazumped Mariah with the Ja Rule feature on the "I'm Real" remix, which is very clearly an attempt to one up Mariah and Ja Rule's "If We". Ja Rule even went on record saying Tommy called him and got him to go on J.Lo's track as he feared If We would be a big hit if not. It's one of the best tracks on the album, so I wonder if it was intended to be released, but after I'm Real beat them to it, they opted for Don't Stop instead? Who knows. The whole era was a mess but at least we can look back and see it for what it truly was. It's a brilliant album with some of her best vocals and collabs of her career.

Lead The Way (113,860) by Lainsky from Philippines On top of my head, she could be unconsciously pushing for the singles in this album to be better than her Columbia releases, as her first for Virgin Records. It is an almost perfect album with those amazing singles, especially if the original Loverboy was not stolen. If there had been no breakdown, no Tommy sabotage, and no 9/11, and then this song had been released as an official single, who knows how it would have performed? It could have done better than We Belong Together. And Glitter could be a hit. (Monday 25 May 2026; 05:16)

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,840) by Bill from the UK It was Morgan I believe. He's always been after her cash since day dot. (Monday 18 May 2026; 18:01) this is a reply to message 113,830

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,830) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Diane Dimond's book "We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong", which is about abuses of guardianship like those committed against Britney Spears. I just came across a passage where Diane Dimond lists celebrity cases where someone attempted or proposed a guardianship/conservatorship and Mariah's name was mentioned alongside B.B. King, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and others. Has anyone else read or heard anything about this? It doesn't surprise me that someone tried this against Mariah and it seems most likely to have occurred during the 2001 hospitalizations or the 2016 incident. Stella seems the most likely culprit in my opinion. Dimond's book makes it seem like the system is very easy to weaponize for financial gain. No wonder Mariah was so outspoken in her support for Britney. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 21:21)

Mariah cover songs (113,823) by Bill from the UK It's an oddity in her catalogue because her other covers have all been really, really good. And she sort of brought it back with My Love. Although her voice is shot now she managed to pull it off and it's probably my favourite from the LP. I think because MIAM had such a Frankenstein approach to the vocals, all super engineered, enhanced, pitched up, and cut and spliced to mask how bad her voice has gotten, it just doesn't even sound like her. More like an AI rendition of what Mariah would do. Which, in fact, is what it probably was. (Friday 15 May 2026; 09:29) this is a reply to message 113,814

Mariah cover songs (113,814) by Edward from USA Her Minnie Mouse on helium version of "One More Try" was truly horrendous, in my humble opinion. She really shouldn't have gone anywhere near that song after 2012. It was always one of those songs I dreamed of her covering. I'd even get annoyed just imagining her cutting it down to some rushed 3.5min version. So when the tracklist leaked and I saw she kept the full length intact, I was actually excited. Then release day came and... I was shocked, like, what the heck did you do? For the first time ever, I genuinely felt like she took a classic and completely butchered it. Somebody on YouTube mixed her version with George Michael's original vocals and turned it into a duet that's way more passable. (Thursday 14 May 2026; 17:19)

Gamma (113,788) by Bill from the UK I would have been hilarious if Lambi went to all that trouble to get that job as Galatic Head of NDAs at Gamma and then Mariah went and quit lol. I'm just yanking your chain sweetie pie. (Thursday 7 May 2026; 21:35)

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,758) by Bill from the UK That's an odd take. Personally, I thought what Mariah said to Brenda was pretty cold. Brenda seemed quite genuine and caring for Mariah, and still roots for her now. She seemed sincerely heartbroken over losing Mariah's friendship several times. I'm glad she's happy, is healthy, is still making music, and is content and settled. And I thank her for opening the door for Mariah to enter into all of our lives and bring us the joy and happiness she has over all these years.

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,757) by Lambi from USA MC saying "What do you want me to do? Be indebted to you for the rest of my life?" is accurate. Like I said Mariah is smart. Brenda introducing an ultimatum was weird. "If I get you a record deal, you're gonna buy me my first house, right?" Then making her sign it, "I Mariah Carey will buy Brenda a house if I get famous" she's framing it in jest now but you don't formalize a "joke" with a written agreement unless you're hoping it holds weight later. It's so deeply manipulative. She's another Morgan, "There wouldn't be a Mariah Carey if it wasn't for me." They're those type of people who help because they know there's a big trade. None of it was ever really from the heart because the entitlement to Mariah's wealth thereafter is ridiculous. (Friday 1 May 2026; 23:02)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,732) by TheButterflyReturns from United States Bill, you know Mariah needs to rest for the next six months to prepare for the rigors of pre-recording her Christmas shows. The night before every show, she needs 20 hours of sleep in a room full of humidifiers to ensure her voice can handle the difficulties of singing live for a full 120 seconds.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,715) by Edward from USA At this point we know that lack of rest isn't the source of her voice problems. (Monday 27 April 2026; 17:26)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,695) by Bill from the UK Yes, I agree Stacey. I would go so far as to say that in terms of the direction, musicality, originality, and everything else, HFIA has been as bold a step forward as Music Box to Daydream, Daydream to Butterfly, and CB to Emancipation. Yet, sadly, the voice isn't there to support what I think are some of the best songs she's written in decades. Jesus I Do recorded with Merry Christmas vocals? HFIA in the Butterfly tone? Nothing Is Impossible with the force of Glitter? The album would be her best ever. (Friday 24 April 2026; 08:13) this is a reply to message 113,694

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,694) by Stacey from USA Here For It All has that Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM vibe. It's just that the vocals don't match those earlier albums. I was listening to Play This Song on my way home from work yesterday, and that arrangement is brilliance. Maybe the melody and the song as whole isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the musicality is absolutely there 100%. That is why I'm so torn about HFIA. (Thursday 23 April 2026; 20:54)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,684) by Bill from the UK Good post. The issue I have is there is a whole generation now who only know her as this extravagant diva, who shuffles around like some aging silver screen actress in denial about her fading youth. They know her for a Christmas song that swings by every year, defrosting, and being a diva. They didn't see If It's Over on SNL. They didn't witness the Daydream tour (I attended London by the way). They didn't get swept up in Joy to the World at St John the Divine. They see her getting wheeled out every so often to lip sync, grumble about the bad lighting, have a pop at J.Lo, and then get carried away as the Butterfly outro plays. The bad now outweighs the good. (Tuesday 21 April 2026; 09:22) this is a reply to message 113,682

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,682) by Jamie from UK This is the problem now, the negativity starts to over shadow the greatness. Most fans on here this past week have been honest and truthful about her current state and by some it's been seen as bashing. All we want for Mariah is for her to be remembered for how great she was, and to have the respect she so deserves. We are still fans, probably even more so than the yass queens because we truly care about Mariah and her legacy. I'm at the point now if she were to bow out and call it a day I'm cool with that. It doesn't mean I don't believe in her, I just don't want her to be ridiculed and ruin her legacy. I was listening to Dreamlover the other day whilst out on a walk, and I got a feeling of not being able to relate to that Mariah with the way she is at the moment, to me it's like she's lost her personality, and I can't match the two together. Whilst only a brief feeling it occurred to me that if I'm feeling like this as a super fan then the general public only see what they see now. To me there's always been two Mariah's pre and post breakdown that I've had difficulty matching up but at the moment she's neither of these which is even more difficult for me to process. (Monday 20 April 2026; 10:38)

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,668) by Bill from the UK Mariah should absolutely not attempt any sort of remake or "live studio" version of Lead the Way. That song is perfect and 2026 Mariah will catastrophically ruin it if she even attempts to go near it. If she attempts to sing that final run live it would probably kill her.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,665) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Rerelease the album with bonus tracks: 1. Loverboy (Firecracker Original Version) 2. Out Here On My Own 3. Lilies Blues (Mariah was the one singing the child part so I'm sure she sang the whole song too) If her vocals are in good form, then do a live studio performance of Lead The Way or even Glitter Unplugged. We never got to see her perform full version of Never Too Far, Reflections, Didn't Mean To Turn You On and All My Life. So this is the perfect time to do it. (Sunday 19 April 2026; 04:13)
