Oh well more tours announced (108,230) by Shezz from Pk So in addition to Brighton Pride in August she will be doing a show in Brazil in September. Let's hope she can work on some new music before that. I hope that in the time she has until August she can get some solid work done. Is anybody really excited about the biopic she badly wants to do? It could be interesting, especially since she won't be acting in it but I hope she focuses on new music first. (Tuesday 18 February 2025; 11:56)

Remaining Vegas shows (108,229) by Bobby A from United States I have mixed feelings about this performance of Shake It Off from 2 days ago. I am glad that MC can take a break now from performances for awhile. I would love for MC to reinvent herself and her music before releasing MC16. I am hoping MC can become the new Lana Del Rey in terms of reinventing herself and people loving her music like it was her first album.

Remaining Vegas shows (108,227) by Brandon from USA Did anyone go to MC's remaining Vegas shows after the People article stated that people were concerned about her last few shows? I was wondering if that sparked her back to life again on stage or if it was more of the same. (Tuesday 18 February 2025; 00:17)

Voice (108,228) by Jamie from UK I love Fall In Love At Christmas especially the Cutmore remix. (Tuesday 18 February 2025; 09:27) this is a reply to message 108,225

Voice (108,225) by Terna from Nigeria Lol. I love your optimism, but just no, [that] just reminded me of that hideous "Fall in love at Christmas" song with Khalid and Kirk Franklin (ugh). I also really don't like Kim Burrell, her style of Gospel, [definitely] don't like her [voice] either. She's only known in Gospel [because] she's capable of doing riffs and runs and honestly, I always feel that's overrated, I prefer straight singing with a little bit of riffs and runs only when the song calls for it, or the melody gets lost. Reason why I don't dig Jazmine Sullivan, nor Beyoncé's singing either. Mariah needs a vocal coach who understands whistle register voices, they work differently from regular voices. Then the bad habits - [bubbly], breaking into whistles even when talking, talking too much etc. I guarantee you, she would see changes positively. (Monday 17 February 2025; 20:57)

Loverboy (108,226) by BFF from United States All I know is that Mariah should be sending the man she was writing about in "Loverboy" my way if she's no longer in need of his services. (Monday 17 February 2025; 23:36) this is a reply to message 108,224

Loverboy (108,224) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm cackling because what a thought hahah. Mariah was wildin' out on some of her lyrics. People think Ariana was wild with 34+35, they need to look into Mariah' s Thirst Catalogue of Spicy Jams. (Monday 17 February 2025; 15:25)

Voice (108,219) by Bobby A from United States Terna, I was thinking today that MC should try a more spiritual church method to improve her voice. Gospel artist and pastor Kim Burrell could help MC by getting her to do a couple of church performances after a month of strengthening her voice with her Kim Burrell could help MC improve her voice with some old church hymns without all of the studio gimmicks. Because He Lives, Lead Me Oh Lord and I Surrender My All are the perfect hymn songs for improving your vocal skills. I am just thinking how I love to hear MC sing gospel songs.

Loverboy (108,218) by BFF from United States I have always wondered something about one of the lines in "Loverboy". When Mariah sings "When he invites me over, I come every time," did she mean she goes over to hang with him every time she is invited or does she mean that he brings her to orgasm every time? She was dating Luis at the time the song was recorded, so if it's the latter, he must have been loving her down. The songs lyrics give me the same vibe as the "Honey" lyrics where I am unsure if Mariah's being intentionally provocative or doing her coquettish "I'm Mary Poppins" shtick and playing dumb about the double entendres lol. (Sunday 16 February 2025; 15:22)

Loverboy (108,223) by BFF from United States Oh, Robert Anthony. You know all of those gospel types have tons of pent up sexual energy, that's why Aretha had to do secular music rather than just gospel lol. I care about Mariah's spiritual needs, but my girl needs to get loved down as well. (Monday 17 February 2025; 15:02) this is a reply to message 108,221

Loverboy (108,221) by Bobby A from United States Lol. It is Sunday BFF. You and I were thinking about MC in two totally different realms. I am trying to get her back in church to help MC reach the top of her soprano again. Lol. (Monday 17 February 2025; 01:28)

Loverboy (108,222) by Edward from USA It's double entendre, just like some of lyrics in Honey. So, technically she was coming every time he called her and she was also having multiple loud orgasms too. Michael Jackson wrote a song about her called "Dirty Mariah".

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,220) by Brandon from USA I definitely hope that she wins and I will be voting for MC. She deserves it. (Sunday 16 February 2025; 21:17) this is a reply to message 108,216

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,216) by Bobby A from United States If she wins this year, it could be the catalyst to great things to come in 2025-2026. I just know that it would be a huge morale booster for MC. She desires it after 30 years in music business. (Friday 14 February 2025; 22:32)

Voice (108,187) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly, I want Mariah to try a voice coach and speech therapist first before considering surgery. Build her main voice back (no whistle register - neglect this register for a while, it is parasitic on the main voice). A change of lifestyle choices too can make a world of difference. Get disciplined like your life depends on it, because honestly it does, the "Mariah Carey" brand is mainly her voice. Cut out bad habits (if any) she picked up along the way, that came with the fame (bubbly, late nights partying, smoking etc). To be able to go into the studio and wow with one-takes or her ability to step on stage and command the entire show as she once used to with just singing is going to required real discipline and determination cos she's older now.

Let's vote for "the" Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee (108,217) by Brad from USA The world is crazy now but we know why we are here and what she has given us and the world. Who of is the same as we once were, or perfect? It is not about that. In my opinion, this nomination (and last year's) are nearly 33 years overdue. When she hit that high note on Emotions in 1992, we were all floored and we still ain't picked ourselves up right. But alas, I have been a lamb since the First Vision, many, many moments ago. And I thank her from the bottom of my heart for the joy she has brought me over 35 years. Thank you, MC. Thank you. You are forever my "sound scroll to the sky". And yes, it may take until "someday" to get in. But know in your heart that you will. They can't take away merit. (Saturday 15 February 2025; 02:53)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,213) by Lee from USA To me, it sounds like more hypocrisy from these critics. (Friday 14 February 2025; 03:23)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,215) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Lee, it is hypocrisy out of context if common sense and fairness were the template but unfortunately not in context. There are certain heights within all industries (music, film, tv etc) where "paying your dues" goes beyond payola. Mariah is never gonna do either of those things. She's by no means a saint, self-appointed or otherwise, but she's not gonna be celebrated to the extreme extent that some of her and though it may not seem so, outta actually a blessing. I don't know another superstar as denigrated, maligned, sabotaged and back-bitten by her collaborators as Mariah. They take her choice of not fighting dirty as blood in the water. The ones who get the industry accolades for sneezing in spring are also the ones who are seen as sharks. Mariah is a dolphin at most in these circles, she doesn't inspire fear, nor should she. I pray she never joins the ranks of most awarded by industry insiders. Leave that to the coalition of the willing who need not be named to be understood as the apex predators who we all know and some of you love. We love the AMA's and all the international fan-based awards though. My 2025¢. (Friday 14 February 2025; 14:56) this is a reply to message 108,213

Mariah living out the Butterfly lyrics in reverse? (108,214) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Well, that was a rhetorical question because I actually believe that she is living out the Butterfly lyrics in real time, but in reverse (maybe even the whole album, at this point). I remember in my Jr High days (might have been 7th grade), we buried stuff, letters mostly, for my class. It was for a "time capsule" or whatever and it feels like even though Mariah wrote that album pretty much in real time back then in '96-'97- that "time capsule" got unearthed and now the whole album feels like something she could release today and not miss a beat. I've had this feeling for a while. Anyway, sending my to all. May love conquer all, always. (Friday 14 February 2025; 14:22)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,210) by Randy from USA I voted and I asked my Facebook to vote and my gay Facebook group to vote. I guess I am a Stan. I think I'm pissed that all of her peers (Whitney, Janet, Madonna and Mary) are in and she's not. Down the road if Celine gets in before MC, it would mean some things about the industry's feelings about her that a lot of us aren't willing to face. (Thursday 13 February 2025; 18:28)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (108,211) by TJ from Norway I hope that too, but Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper and Billy Idol will give her some competition. And let's not forget Oasis (the big reunion this year) and Soundgarden. There's even more big acts on that list. Fingers crossed.

Voice (108,206) by Edward from USA Mariah's '90s background singers were on another level. Their voices were so powerful and soulful, and they blended perfectly with Mariah's strong, unique tone. Trey wasn't really in that league, those ladies could blow. Being realistic, Mariah wouldn't be able to keep up with that kind of vocal power behind here these days. She really needs to get her voice back in shape first. And funny enough, she even lips part of her duet with Trey, go figure. (Thursday 13 February 2025; 03:59) this is a reply to message 108,203

Voice (108,203) by Jamie from UK I've just had to do a long drive and I listened to Proctors Theatre Concert and it got me thinking. Whilst I know it won't change Mariah's current vocals I was thinking she needs an overhaul of backing singers, a sound more reminiscent of the [Price Sisters]. Singers that have more soul and depth to warm up her songs on stage. Trey isn't as good as he used to be so he's not gonna help Mariah sound any better. Even on her next album she should use vocalists that can add texture to her songs, use the background singers like they used too and get them more involved in the over all sound. I think this would enhance the quality of the album and give Mariah's vocals a boost. It worked on Music Box why not give it another go, good quality tracks reflective of her early career, filled with gospel and soulful sounds. She has nothing to loose at this point. Lay the Diva MC to bed and awaken Mariah again. (Wednesday 12 February 2025; 21:29)
