The misconception (83,527) by Nikki from usa I feel really bad for people getting their hopes up. This isn't the 90's anymore. Even if she releases the greatest music of her career it will hardly get any airplay and her label has proven they're not willing to promote her. Mariah's best case scenario is the branding and hype from Jay's people and even that would be short-lived. The "hot" artists of today release new music left and right and only 1/3 of it becomes hits. This is a different climate. Artists almost release music itself as a promotional vehicle for branding themselves as a product so they can use other avenues to make money. When your likes depend a great deal on public opinion and how commercially successful something is than you're leading yourself up for disappointment. No matter what Mariah releases, good or bad, it will put her back in the spotlight. I just hope she uses all of this attention to promote herself as the creative songwriter and producer she is. She does have the perfect story of "the dream" as someone who went from rags to riches off the back of following her passions and using her amazing talent to make it happen. More than anything, I wish Mariah would take control of her own narrative and stop letting tabloids write it for her. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 16:07)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,521) (83,525) by Bobby A from United States Great. Thank you. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 14:23)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,519) (83,524) by Terna from Nigeria Sure do. It's my favorite version of the song even moreso than the original version. You didn't drop an email. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 13:48)

New remixes album (83,523) by Tijl from Belgium All I want for Christmas - besides MC15 - is a new remix album post Charmbracelet. There are so many gems out there that occasionally even surpass the original songs. I still play the first remix album a lot especially the RnB disc. Isn't this the perfect moment to unlock the endeavours of the skipped "Angels Advocate" project if not the great remixes from TEOM and later eras? Bring it on MC. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 11:38)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey channels '90s Mariah in vacation photo (83,520) (83,522) by Musti from UK I don't want her to drop hip hop. It goes very well with her vocal delivery. And rap tends to blend with her style seamlessly. She just needs a good update. I feel like this time we really could be getting a fresh approach. Her interviews sound very promising and she looks super hot in all her recent pics. One thing I hope is that we won't be coming on here to shred her to pieces. She's in a unique place in her career compared to other legends, needing to prove herself even to her most hardcore fanbase (us) despite having nearly 3 decades behind her. It's hard to please everyone, certainly fans who still remember how otherworldly she was in the 90s. I hope we will start appreciating her for who she is now and not forget the fact that we don't have many more Mariah albums waiting for us in the future. I can't wait to hear the new material and I hope it is well received by everyone. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 10:54)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,519) (83,521) by Todd from Sydney, Australia You can just google "YouTube to MP3" and save any video as an MP3. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 10:53)

Article: Mariah Carey channels '90s Mariah in vacation photo (83,520) by Gemma from Australia Can you pretty please start sounding like 90's Mariah. Enough with all the rap and hip hop. Just belt out that beautiful voice again that we're all so desperate to hear. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 08:11)

With You I'm Born Again (83,519) by Bobby A from United States Does anybody have a mp3 of this song from the VH1 Saves The Music special? This duet with John Legend is up there with Endless Love with Luther Vandross. Total classic vocal delivery by Mariah and John Legend. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 02:57)

Re: Before iHeart (83,511) (83,518) by B from USA I think Mariah's going to give us an up tempo single like Honey with a Weeknd-esque beat. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for. Mariah's announcement in People has generated a lot of buzz and if she delivers a strong single with a decent video she could easily score another Top 20 hit and set the stage for another comeback.

Re: You guys (83,513) (83,517) by Edward from USA I had a similar experience, but with "Open Arms". I was bored in class with one of my headphones on, and then I heard that voice, that voice that was so unique, and I was wondering whether the DJ would come out at the end of the song and say who was singing it. Later during the week I found out it was, the one and only, Mariah Carey. At that time I was living in my home country, where they only had two radio stations that played music in English, "La Roca (The Rock) and "La 91" (The 91). That Sunday afternoon I sat by the radio with my tape recorder ready because I had petitioned for the song to be played, and the DJ told me they would play it after 1pm. I waited for 5 hours, he announced the song at the beginning before it started playing, my recording was cleaned, sorry Andrew, no annoying DJ voice overs, lol. Those really were the days.

Re: Before iHeart (83,511) (83,516) by Leito from USA I would love a duet with Cardi B, just to piss Nicki off. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 20:37)

Article: Mariah Carey channels '90s Mariah in vacation photo (83,515) by Leito from USA Channeling the 90's vision, now channel the 90's voice. I know you still have it in you. Just stop worrying about how you look on stage and just kill every song. You'll be more respected if you slay a song, than if people see you your "bad" side. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 20:32)

Re: people.com (83,508) (83,514) by Andrew from UK Sorry but Crapfinity lyrics beats There's Got To Be A Way every day of the week and twice on Tuesdays. If ever I feel down I put that song on. I laugh out loud every time. I love me some Mariah but those lyrics sound like they were penned by a child with a crayon. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 20:02)

Re: You guys (83,509) (83,513) by Andrew from UK I sat by the radio waiting for Heartbreaker for hours and it finally came on and I hit record wetting myself. Then the DJ came on at the climax and spoke over her adlibs and cut it short. I went mad. Sat by the radio for hours waiting for it again. Those were the days. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 19:59)

Re: Brit-sync (83,495) (83,512) by TJ from Norway I know. Not in Oslo either, but still she sold 20,000 tickets in 3 hours. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 11:16)

Before iHeart (83,511) by Bobby A from United States I am just wondering during the next 3 week's before the iHeart Music Festival will we have the first single, the title of the album, release date, the tracklisting and surprise collaborations? I am hoping for three collaborations: The Weeknd, Post Malone, and Drake. She has to be smart with choosing the first single because one wrong choice will disappoint us, radio, and critics. So MC has to choose a first single that makes a statement that Mimi is back. It needs to remind us why we fell in love with Mimi. Something like Fantasy or Honey or Touch My Body would make a statement. Post Malone or Drake as a feature will make people want more and radio play her again. Maybe Cardi B or Chris Brown or Ed Sherran feature would give Mimi that radio airplay that she needs so badly. Just thinking before bed listening to radio. Guess who came on the radio again? Cardi B. Lol. Oh well, we need to do something special to help her downloads and radio airplay with the first single. Any ideas? (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 05:21)

Re: Through the Rain demo vocals (83,506) (83,510) by Bill from the UK Nice one Lee thanks for sharing. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 22:25)

Re: You guys (83,503) (83,509) by Bill from the UK Ha, I do feel excited too. It's a lot different now because I remember back in the 90s you had no idea what was happening until you heard a new song on the radio. I remember in August 1995, sitting on my bedroom floor listening to the radio whilst playing with my rubick's cube (I was, and forever will be, a geek - side note, I can complete one in under 5 minutes lol) and I remember Fantasy came on the radio and I was like "huh, sounds a bit like Mariah" and carried on doing what I was doing. Then at the end as Mariah was ad-libbing over the final chorus, I remember Dr. Fox gushing "what an amazing new single from Mariah Carey" and me spazzing out, squealing, chucking the rubick's cube out of my hands, and diving to the cassette recorder and whacking "record" so hard I bruised my finger. I didn't even care what I was recording over haha. I got the last 30 seconds and played it over and over and over and sat by the radio all day waiting for it to be played again. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 22:25)

Re: people.com (83,500) (83,508) by Bill from the UK Haha, nothing you can say Jade would ever lower my opinion of you. Well, unless you said you preferred the Crapfinity lyrics over (insert any other song here). (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 22:16)

Secret project (83,507) by Haiji Toro from USA Hello to all. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, and I haven't seen this 7 sec clip, but I'm thinking that a bed full of shoes might refer to a "Walk Away" type of video to an "aggressive" new song. I can't wait. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 22:16)

Through the Rain demo vocals (83,506) by Lee from UK So I came across these demo vocals for "Through the rain today". (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 15:44)

Re: people.com (83,497) (83,505) by Andrew from UK I think "aggressive" is hopefully descriptive of the music's approach and not necessarily the music itself. If it is confident and ready to attack Spotify and the charts etc. then great. I cannot see Mariah making an aggressive *sounding* musical, even moreso now that she has described the album in terms of almost every other good Mariah Carey album that has ever been (I aint even looking at you Memoirs and Charmbracelet). If it has fresh and modern and relevant production styles I'll be a happy bunny. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 15:05)

Re: Brit-sync (83,502) (83,504) by Andrew from UK Jadakiss, you mean to say you didn't learn the dance to Honey? Tsk. To be fair, they are some very complicated moves - so complicated Mariah sometimes forgets them on stage haha. Anyway, take no shame: I think everyone in my school, boys and girls alike, tried to learn Crazy. My macho older brother tried to learn Sometimes. And everyone just made up their own one to Toxic which is incidentally what the queen who was dancing to next to my mate was dancing to when he elbowed my mate's drink all over me haha I don't care though because it was a wicked night, great party and so much fun. It's Britney bitch. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 14:50)

You guys (83,503) by Anonymous from I'm trying to contain my excitement as I don't want to be disppaointed but I can no longer do it. Mariah freaking Carey is releasing new music people, and it looks to be this side of the year. This very notion is making feel like a giddy teenager, and no, I have not been on the splashes this morning. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 13:36)
