Which song would've you picked? (112,059) by jaker20 from US Hindsight is 20/20 but if we can see the future, I would have just released My Love if its up to me. Type Dangerous sounds it tried appeal to the chart, but it does not fit into the album. It sticks out. It's only a good single if the entire album have that same spirit, which is club, hip-hop and modern a bit edgy, t-shirts and tight booty shorts aesthetics. Type Dangerous isn't her anymore, unless she miraculously one day learns choreo. Then Sugar Sweet again sounds different like a different direction. The album isn't like those. And she can't sustain that sound and look anyway as this point of her career. Even on the promo circuit she looks madam which is her, it supports the album's style. So in comes My Love which is classic Mariah. It's a remake, but it is her right now, soulful, delicate, intimate, ethereal. And it represents the album's sound and her current aesthetics. Then follow up with Play this Song or Confetti or I won't Allow It. I'm literally choosing songs no one would think would chart", but that is the point. She is still chasing the chart, go high enough, but she can't really go all the way because that is not her anymore. I think the only way Mariah will have some chart success again is either completely change her sound to fit into current pop landscape (not gong to happen), stop making Christmas music because her image is to associated with it (not going to happen), collab with new artist (she's tried that, didn't work), or be on a soundtrack of a hit film or series (works only by chance if the stars are aligned). So I think its time for Mariah to just be Mariah, and then maybe she will chart Because that's something she can embody moving forward. She doesn't have to change herself. Think Nora Jones in the 2000s, no belting, just smooth soul, velvety vocals. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 18:38) this is a reply to message 112,026

Which song would've you picked? (112,026) by T from USA We all know now that Type Dangerous was the single that they all agreed was the best to launch the era and album. Now that we've lived with all the songs for a month which of the eleven songs would've you put all the resources into like radio deal, big budget music video, performances behind? Is there even one song that deserves all that or was TD the right choice? (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 15:51)

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Middle east"? The Asia concerts made sense because of her huge fan base there. But middle east, I highly doubt there's a huge fan-base. Hmm, a bit strange indeed. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 18:13) this is a reply to message 112,055

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,055) by T from USA Mariah already has a new concert booked in the middle east for early February next year. I don't understand, does she need the money that bad? Or is her so called team going to run her into the ground like Amy Winehouse? Either way, the lamb followers are going to make excuses and call it a "one off" or "just for the fans" but the truth is these enablers are going to end up killing her.

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,057) by Lighty from China I remember in one of HFIA podcasts/interviews the host asked Mariah about the new Vegas residency and she said something like "people booked" and the host thought she was talking about the lambs/audience but Mariah explained it's "her people" booked the shows for her. I can't remember which interview it was but there was definitely this part. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 18:05) this is a reply to message 112,055

Which song would've you picked? (112,056) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always thought Mariah should write and sing a NYC themed song. Like the "Empire State of Mind". Just for fun, imagine a Sinatra cover from New York, New York. I remember a little clip from a restaurant in Italy where she sung some parts of this famous song in 2003 or 2004.

Which song would've you picked? (112,038) by Lambi from USA Felt like the wrong choice but I guess Mariah really is "New York" as JD said. She is hip-hop. From this data, not counting the 3 singles just to even out the playing field (they were out longer and had better launchpads), lambs daily streamed In Your Feelings and Mi the most. Lighty said NII could've been this album's TTR and I agree, not sure if Mariah will go with a ballad as the launching single ever again but I still hope she does something special with it. Countries like Brazil and Philippines love ballads and this was a solid one. But out of the 3 singles, I felt Sugar Sweet was the strongest. It's the better melody. It would've been awkward launching an album with 2 other ladies so I see why she didn't pick that. It's actually quite a dilemma picking the first single, maybe I'll come back and change my answer.

Hi Lambily (112,054) by MusicfanJ from Germany Please post more. I also love to read about meetings from fans/lambs with Mariah. I allready enjoyed your post. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 15:00) this is a reply to message 112,033

Hi Lambily (112,033) by Gabrielle Demetriou from UK I wanted to share something that's lived in my heart for years - the day I met Mariah Carey in Manchester on March 18, 2016. I was heavily pregnant at the time, and what unfolded that evening has stayed with me ever since. Mariah was radiant - regal and real - surrounded by warmth, laughter, and that unmistakable glow that only she has. When she turned to me and asked about me, it was one of those rare, human moments that you never forget. I wrote a reflection called "Here For It All" - a personal piece about that meeting, how her music has shaped my life across generations, and what it means to me as a mother to pass that love on to my daughters. Mariah's music has been the golden thread through my life - in joy, heartbreak, and everything in between. She's been my comfort and my courage, and writing this felt like a love letter to the woman whose songs have always been there. Please comment whether you'd like to see the unpublished story. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 19:19)

Hi Lambily (112,053) by Anonymous from USA I'd like to see the unpublished story. I always like to hear and read about people's experiences with Mariah. She has been there for our highs and our lows. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 14:20) this is a reply to message 112,033

Immobile on stage (112,052) by Lambi from USA She has the same stiffness while sitting down so losing the shoes most likely won't be much of a difference. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 11:40) this is a reply to message 112,034

Immobile on stage (112,034) by TJ from Norway Lose the shoes and she will be able to walk again. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 19:21)

Which song would've you picked? (112,051) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "I Won't Allow It". One of my favourites from the album. Such a cool, fun song. When you think the song ends and then Mariah huh, and the song continues. So fresh. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 11:36) this is a reply to message 112,042

Which song would've you picked? (112,042) by Anonymous from USA I Won't Allow It probably has the most potential. It's fun. It's dance. It's silly. It's relatable. There's so many good songs but the lead single should be a fun uptempo. Just my two cents. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 23:57)

Immobile on stage (112,050) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it makes sense. I just hope she's not overworking again. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 11:18) this is a reply to message 112,044

Immobile on stage (112,044) by Lambi from USA I think that because Mariah grew up dirt poor, moving around 13 times and vividly remembering being kicked out of homes by Patricia's various boyfriends, those unstable experiences during her critical formative years likely shaped her brain development and sense of security. It makes sense that she now fully embraces the stability and comfort that come with a wealthy lifestyle. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 02:01)

My 2 cents (112,049) by Lambi from USA Thank you, Dove. Don't mind Edward, he completely missed the fact that I said I'm a Bible-believing Christian and just got somewhat interested on reading about astrology since you guessed my sign right. I took the time to connect with you since you were very polite. We know the full depth of that conversation, in contrast to the absurdity of what he got out of it. I clearly implied I'm not big on it but now he's framing it like I'm some heavy astrology freak. So much for being grounded in reality. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 10:36) this is a reply to message 112,048

My 2 cents (112,048) by Dove from United States She's not the one into astrology, that's me. Astrology is not an empirical science but a lot of people, including some artists (like Adele and Taylor), use astrology to choose when to release their projects. It's not as crazy as you think. Just because we don't fully understand how something works doesn't mean it doesn't work. Not everyone understands how electricity works, yet we still trust that it does.

My 2 cents (112,045) by Edward from USA You tend to get a bit unhinged and emotional whenever someone challenges the "facts" you throw around. And blaming some outside force every time something happens to Mariah is just typical of you. It's not that Mariah "doesn't need" the charts, it's that most people simply aren't interested in her music like that anymore. "Caution" had three singles with full videos, and solid promotion. The effort was there, the interest wasn't. That's an undeniable fact, like an actual fact, something grounded in reality, not wishful thinking, astrology or conspiracy theories. I just asked a simply question, so you need to take a chill pill. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 02:10)

Confetti and Champagne (112,047) by Giovanni from USA Where were you when I posted about the song Bobby haha? I like it but it's too short. I mean 2 minutes is simply not enough. It should be 4 instead. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 02:30) this is a reply to message 112,041

Confetti and Champagne (112,041) by Bobby A from United States What song have we heard those same whiste notes at the end of the song? I am baffled right now. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 23:34)

HFIA (112,046) by Edward from USA "HFIA" has several potential hits that could've easily taken off if they were released by artists like Ariana, Sabrina, or SZA, the album is that good. I just hope Mariah doesn't get discouraged and continues releasing music more frequently. And hopefully, the collaboration with Michael finally sees the light of day soon.

My 2 cents (112,036) by Lambi from USA I mean we can verify she was under Epic and Roc Nation during Caution's release. Also chill? You're acting like I criticized every single wrong move they did, all I said was "shame they it flop". Are you just ready to unleash your pre-written thoughts about how Mariah doesn't need to chart?

Immobile on stage (112,030) by MusicfanJ from Germany Everything has a price. But health should be more worth, important than a luxurious lifestyle. How many things can one person buy, owe, which is really needed. Does all the things really make her happy? I don't think so. She's extreme wealthy since 90 when she was 20 and she'll never be poor again. She can relax. At a certain age, you should realize that health and taking care is more important than all the bling-bling. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 17:38)

My 2 cents (112,043) by Bobby A from United States There really have not been any new R&B producers to come along in the past 7 years like how Mike Will Made It, Darryl DJ Camper, and DJ Mustard just blew up on the music scene with multiple album placements for 5 years. Where is the next Mike Will Made It hiding at? (Thursday 23 October 2025; 00:57) this is a reply to message 112,020

My 2 cents (112,020) by Lara from Middle East What MOIA and MIATEC lacked in production, was in her last 2 albums. Lyrically wise, it's the opposite. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 10:41)

My 2 cents (112,025) by Lambi from USA I agree. 2009-2015, Mariah was generally stuck in the late 2000’s production. Rihanna was doing songs like Pour It Up and Beyoncé Drunk In Love. They were plugged in with the hot producers at the time. Mariah did eventually catch up on Caution though, shame they let it flop. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 13:11)

Immobile on stage (112,037) by Lambi from USA Agree. She is hanging on by a thread. Her work ethic is both a blessing and a curse. I hope that she's able to get actual rest after this year's tour. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 21:35) this is a reply to message 112,029

Immobile on stage (112,029) by MusicfanJ from Germany But "still maximizing the workload" is not healthy at all. You'll get a burn-out or depression, illness sooner or later. I hope after Christmas Mariah really is slowing down, having a wonderful holiday and time off. If Mariah can't take a break for herself then who can? And if Mariah won't talk about the reason behind "her stiffness" the people won't stop the speculating. Of course it's her private choice not to talk about it, but people always speculate even if you are a "normal", non-famous person. I always thought it started with her shoulder arm-accident. But I don't know, I just hope she'll recover completely or at least without pain. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 17:23)
