One Heart, One Voice (109,575) by Stacey from USA
A reprimand was warranted, lol. That's it Bill, you are in your room the rest of the night. No TV.

Article: Mariah Carey confirms her new album is finished (109,574) by Bobby A from United States
MC was probably thinking about Circles, I Wish You Knew, Mine Again, Angels Cry, Languishing, Cry, Camouflage, and Portrait type of ballads when she responded to Zane and Ebro.

MC vs MC (109,573) by Tijl from Belgium
Frankly, the current pop culture is built on '90s throwbacks; fashion, music, cinema.
TD: reflection on an entire life and career yet to self indulgent for the general public. Do not get me wrong, I truly enjoy the Mimi "misms" and easter eggs although I doubt the general public agrees.
IAEGYEL: from a PR point of view, a true chorus, endorsement and links to a major French fashion house and Naomi's support.
Anyway, we'll see what Mariah's next single brings the table.

Summer fun songs (109,572) by Randy from USA
Jaker20 we never agree on anything but I could not disagree with you more on this topic. I actually would rather an album full of heavy, self introspective songs. I listen to Languishing, Anytime You Need A Friend, Close My Eyes and Through The Rain constantly these days. I appreciate Touch My Body for the melodically driven verses and the camp video. Shake It Off is fun also. Songs like that are needed. But so are songs like My All, Petals and Vanishing. I think we're getting both on the new album. I wanted a heavy Adele-like album with songs like Hello, Easy on Me, Million Years Ago and Someone Like You. That's not where MC is. I don't even think that would sell for Adele at this point in today's musical landscape. But some of us are heartbroken or want our hearts broken. Not everything can be light.

I'm just curious what Mariah ballads mean. Ballads before WBT or WBT clones?

Wonderful, I can't wait. I hope the title of the album will be short. That it has a summer sound is great too. I'm really excited for it.

One Heart, One Voice (109,568) by TJ from Norway
I had a nine hours long drive yesterday and was listening to the Barbra song and many others including Whitney's I Look To You. Both of them got this metallic sound in their voices at that point in their careers. As you said, she will never tell us the truth of what happened.

I don't completely disagree with you but you don't decide who has a place in the fandom and who doesn't.

Touch My Body, Obsessed, Shake it Off, and others (109,566) by jaker20 from US
I saw a semi-viral tweet asking why no one's serving Touch My Body type of songs, other than Sabrina. The tweet and responses describe it as funny, but witty, camp, satirical pop. I think Mariah was on to something with Shake It Off, Touch My Body, Obsessed, that series of releases in mid to late 2000s. Type Dangerous continues that style, it's in the same genre, but lighter, self-aware, and sassy.

I want more of those. Sabrina's recent releases have that vibe. Expresso is very Fantasy adjacent, and has similar Honey type of video. The same with Please, Please, Please. Its not out of her lane, even AIWFCIY has that playful humor to it, because Mariah herself is funny.

I don't want Mariah to do overtly melodrama and serious songs anymore, and I wonder if Mariah feel the same. I think she wasn't into that Streisand song, the release of TD shows it's not even close to the same sound and genre she is creating for the new era. No disrespect to Streisand, I know Mariah has plenty of respect for her but it's not her.

One Heart, One Voice (109,565) by Lambi from USA
Appreciate the mediating spirit Bobby A. You are truly a godsend. Keep it up. Everyone's allowed to have opinions of course but everyone is also responsible for their opinions. The lesson here is you can't just say ridiculous things and expect not to be called out on it. It's good to be the adult in the room to snap toddlers back to reality. Therefore members aren't just spewing disrespectful unhinged remarks like, "Her voice is so shot us board members probably sing Hero better than her now." Words have meaning and a reprimand was warranted.

One Heart One Voice (109,564) by Stacey from USA
Every artist has their missteps. I believe I Don't is one of MC's missteps. Having said that, if you love the song, stream away.

One Heart, One Voice (109,563) by Bill from the UK
As I said before, chill out for a change. You'll notice you've made a bit of a fool of yourself as I didn't say I could, although I can sing "the way, hey" from Hero without needing backing tracks, backing singers, auto cues, lip syncing, lighting, and an army of men to navigate me across the stage.

I'd direct you to this really good platform called YouTube. From there, type in the search box "Mariah Carey cover/karaoke" or words to that effect. You'll be presented with an almost inexhaustible list of unprofessional singers, amateurs, and hobbyists who can carry the tune of Hero just as well as Mariah did back in 1993.

Mariah *was* one of the greatest vocalists of a generation, but sadly isn't any longer. How or why that happened will only ever be speculation because she herself will not come clean about what happened to her voice, and continues this masquerade of being this phenomenally good singer when she simply isn't any more. If you genuinely can't see that, then you are just another delusional yass queen who has no place in the fandom, as you're part of the problem as much as she is, for continuing on the facade.

MC16 (109,562) by T from USA
Exciting news about the album. It's complete and she's happy with it. I feel this will be the best album yet.

Apple interview (109,561) by Bobby A from United States
I think Gamma and Apple have linked up for an album sales strategy that we have never seen done before. Maybe a deluxe edition will only be a iTunes version. Also, someone said on X that the Japanese version always has one extra track.

We are family. Sometimes we may not agree with another board member's opinions or comments. We all care about MC and her career. Let's get ready to experience the new era and get MC back on top. The unveiling of the album title and second single is going to be huge in the coming weeks. The anticipation is higher than any Mariah Carey album ever before. Let's put our differences aside and get ready for this era.

Apple interview (109,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Exciting. She however needs to stop Apple Exclusives and focus on Spotify if she wants more chart success. I know she has ties with Apple through Gamma but Apple Music is no where near Spotify in terms of chart placement and Spotify keeps foiling her because she goes to their competitors.

MC vs MC (109,558) by Sascha from Germany
I love Miley's album. It is great. But EGYEL is not really contemporary. It‘s as throwback 90s as it can be.

TD is doing what its supposed to do (109,557) by Sascha from Germany
"Believe" is Chers biggest hit ever by a wide margin and put her back on the map globally. It made me a hardcore Cher fan in 1999 and introduced me to her discography which is very diverse anyway. She went from flower power to narrative Pop, from Disco to Rock to AC to Believe.

Mariah as an artist is very different because she hardly diverts from her main style. I would not want a David Guetta feature from her even if smashed.

Apple interview (109,555) by Zachariah from Croatia
Thank you for the news, I appreciate it.

It would be great to have circa 14 songs but 12 is still ok. I hope the new single will be a bigger hit than Type Dangerous, which I love as well, but I think is was really more oriented towards us, the real fans who stuck around.

Apple interview (109,553) by Bobby A from United States
MC16 is done. MC16 will have 11-12 songs. There are Mariah ballads. The second single is coming soon. It is very summery and MC loves the beat. I am not complaining, but why just 11-12 songs? Is that an industry standard these days to increase the chances of individual songs streamed to increase album sales?

One Heart, One Voice (109,552) by Lambi from USA
That is funny. I pressed you on this before but you ran away and hibernated. Let me recap what you said, verbatim: "Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing 'Hero' better than she can and with no lipping."

"A number of us" so you've appointed yourself a part of some imaginary choir of amateurs who can outsing one of the most technically revered vocalists in music history. Tremendously bold claim. Since you said this your chest, you at least must be a willing representative of the group to back it up, right?

So let's just hear it. Debunk my insinuation that you're out of touch. If you're confident enough to dismiss quite literally the greatest vocalist of all time, a quick vocal clip should be a walk in the park. Or are you just going to go on hibernation again?
