Off topic: Triumphant Get Em (110,052) by MhieMhie from Vietnam

If Mariah released this song to this day, it will probably be heralded. I don't know what went wrong with this single but everything is on fire - powerful vocals, rad hiphop verses from MM + RR and pristine fluidity before MIAMTEC introduced helium to her vocal cords.

I am hating on Nick real bad as I attribute this to her vocal decline. Messed up Mariah mentally, physically, and vocally yet Mariah still persevered. As a human, going through a second divorce, thinking about the welfare of two kids who have their family broken - all broke Mariah. Like imagine the pain she has to endure from Nick’s infidelity, her inner child much more broken as she was not been able to keep her created family whole like what happened to her childhood, and fulfilling career obligations with a broken/dislocated arm also including private intimate moments that Mariah gives the sloppiest [censored]. Guy did not respect Mariah as his wife nor as a human.

Damn, this is one incredible person - lets give her flowers as long as she lives because she has really have given herself to the world. I hope the world and the universe gives it to her back 1000000x more.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,051) by Lighty from China

Not familiar with the interviewer lady but she kinda gave me a Rosie vibe, but a discount version of Rosie if you know what I mean. Mariah seems to be much more lively and responsive than in her other recent interviews, which is a good thing. Dress is not bad but I think they could've done better with the whole styling but hey, it is what it is.

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,050) by Dove from United States

She seemed more laid back and "present" last night on Jimmy Kimmel. I don't know that host, but she seemed starstruck, and honestly I can't blame her. I would have been too. Mariah didn't seem bothered by the comments about her breasts so I won't be bothered either. It's not like Britney Spears at 17 being asked about her breasts. Not the best thing to bring up in an interview but Mariah is a grown up and they're hard not to notice. (Honestly, it's the first thing I noticed.)

Sidenote: it reminded me of the Mexican music icon Juan Gabriel. Interviewers would ask him about his sexuality and he would respond, "Lo que se ve no se pregunta". (What is seen does not need to be asked.)

Anyway, I think Mariah looked really pretty. Her face looked really pretty and her body was on point. Her tan was on point. Her hair looked nice. The dress is not my favorite but I don't hate it either. Since it's more naked at the top I liked that it was longer. I love that silhouette on her. I don't love the animal print but that's just me. Apparently that's the trend again. (The Pamela Anderson/Fran Drescher in The Nanny vibes.)

My niece is starting high school this year so I took her to get her hair cut and eyebrows threaded. I've been going to this eyebrow threader for over ten years and she's very good and I trust her. I waited in the waiting area and let my niece go back there by herself. I was so surprised when she came back out with super thin (Christina Aguilera in the Dirrty video) eyebrows.

I told her the whole reason I took her there was so that she wouldn't over-pluck them like I did when I was her age. I told her if she keeps plucking them that thin, over time they won't grow back the same. She said, "Yours did." (But they didn't. I had to get the soft tap powder brows to fill in the sparse spots.) Anyway, she didn't care what I had to say and told me, "I think I can maintain the thin-brow life."

So yeah. The early 90's slightly porno look is making a comeback.

I think we all want MC to go back to the girl-next-door we initially fell in love with. But she's been Ginger for a long time now. Mary Ann is gone.

Sugar Sweet (110,049) by Luke from United Kingdom

Hey all, I don't post very often and usually chime in when there's a new era, usually because of fomo I want to join in the excitement.

When I heard the snippet I wasn't sure but hearing the whole song is so much better. I've had it on repeat and it was legit the only song I was listening too in the gym today lol. I was thinking it's kinda like if Honey, Touch My Body and Cruise Control had a love child

Sugar Sweet (110,048) by Carlos from Brazil

I absolutety love the song. Afrobeats is an old genre but it has been recently recognized even at the Grammys so I think this collab has a shot at it. It has a lot of TikTok potential.

Sugar Sweet (110,045) by Bobby A from United States

I love it, but I was hoping for more lyrics, especially in the pre-chorus part, to carry the song more. Overall, great improvement over TD.

Mariah's charting power (110,044) by Anonymous from USA

At first listen, I was hooked. It's not going to change the world. It's just a song. It's just a piece of someone's art. I really like it but I can see how people that are tired and unhappy would want to rip it apart and poop on it, that's the case with anything. I will still listen to it and enjoy it because I actually do love Mariah. I'm only here for the music, not the opinions of people who don't matter at all.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,043) by Bobby A from United States

I wanted Jimmy to show up and take over. I felt bad for MC when she was really being overly flirtatious at the beginning of the interview. MC became very uncomfortable in the middle of the interview when she kept flirting with MC. Jimmy would have shown some class.

Sugar Sweet (110,042) by BFF from United States

I'm a little underwhelmed by the song, but I understand that its release is strategic as means for Mariah to stay contemporary. I don't blame Mariah for trying to stay current, but I think the songwriting, production and guest artists are a bit beneath her. The uptempo songs on "Caution" worked a lot better than this one in my opinion. Who knows? Maybe it grow on me.

I'm looking forward to hearing the songs she produced with just Daniel Moore, the Paul/Linda McCartney cover, and the collaboration with The Clark Sisters.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,041) by Shezz from Pk

It was the twins out leopard print dress. Then the styling just took it over the edge. A misstep after some pretty good looks the last couple of months.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,040) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands

I don't want to be rude, but with her breasts popping out she looked like a hooker.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,039) by BFF from United States

I wasn't a fan of that interviewer. All she did was talk about Mariah's breasts and superfluous things that had nothing to do with the album or single. I was actually a creeped out on Mariah's behalf for all of the weird comments about Mariah's body.

Mariah's charting power (110,038) by MhieMhie from Vietnam

I have no more hopes for this but I am just glad that she is able to put out music that I can consume. She has done it all - nothing more to prove. If she scores another hit - good - if not good as well. Similar to my favorite non-charting artists, I live for their art and not their chart success.

Sugar Sweet MV (110,037) by MhieMhie from Vietnam

I hope the video is on a beach or tropical paradise with a lot of swimsuits/bodysuits and self touching ala IBLYLT and floating in an inflatable balloon in the blue sea with shades on. With ice cream dripping ahhh everything summery. Hoping that it can be as super sexy as Sabrina Carpenter outtakes in Short n Sweet cover.

Article: Mariah keeps it nice, neat, "sugar sweet" on new single (110,036) by Zachariah from Croatia

I love it. Such a great summer vibe. I can just picture the video.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,035) by Jamie from UK

I didn't feel Mariah was looking her best on Jimmy Kimmel, she looked a bit cheap and not glamorous. Just my opinion. I've seen her looking better. I think it was the hair and earrings made her look a bit street.

Sugar Sweet (110,034) by Pedro from Brazil

I loved the song, gave me the same feeling as when I first heard TMB. If we want this track to climb higher on the charts, it needs more streaming.
(Friday 25 July 2025; 11:22)

Sugar Sweet (110,033) by Jamie from UK

It's a catchy song, not sure it's gonna chart that well though. Her voice in the higher parts is not great and worries me if that's what they can come up with in the studio. It's a light summer feel song, imagine it with Slipping Away vocals. But it is what it is.

Sugar Sweet (110,032) by TJ from Norway

I'm not sure what I think. It's too much head voice in the beginning for my taste. The song works ok from the second verse. But much better than the horrible AI version presented by Eddie.

After playing it on repeat for like 30 minutes, I enjoy it a little bit more than what I wrote above. Sweet sound, but no number one. Unlike some people, I do not think she will get another #1 Hot 100, but that's ok.

Sugar Sweet (110,031) by Terna from Nigeria

Total bop.

I played it once only so far and it's stuck in my head already, been humming it for a while now. Did you guys get that "Sugar Spice & Everything Nice" line? Haha. Someone mentioned that a few days back here and lo and behold its in the song. Lol. With two tracks revealed so far from the upcoming album, I can already see this is going to be a very different sound from Mariah Carey, so far I love both records. Side note: I was looking forward to hear that run from IG short somewhere in the song "do oo oo ooo", that's an important hook Mariah.

What do you guys think of the new single? I love it, what about you?

Sugar sounds sweet (110,029) by Stacey from USA

SS sounds like a complete song whereas TD felt like it was missing an ending. I thought Shenseea and Kehlani's parts were nicely mixed throughout the song with Mariah. I love the sample of ILT. I hope the video is MC late at night having flashbacks of her guy. That's the vibe the song is giving me. Any guesses about who the song is about? The first two guesses don't count, lol. Like ILT, I feel this song will grow on me.

(Friday 25 July 2025; 08:27)

Sugar Sweet (110,028) by Bill from the UK

Well I doubt it will be the 20th number one. Astonishing that in 7 years she couldn't come up with anything even remotely different to what she's put in the last 20 years. Thumbs down. The only thing keeping me "here for it all" is the Clarke Sisters number and seeing what McCartney song she covered.
