Re: Unfortgettable remix (78,081) (78,083) by Anonymous from I'm so f*%+king excited. Love what I've heard so far, right up my street. Don't care where it charts, anything is a bonus. For me it's about falling with a song and being proud of what I hear. This is going to be on repeate, I need to download asap. Yes. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 12:57)

Re: Unforgettable remix (78,080) (78,082) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Exactly. Rihanna does an excellent job in collaborating with the hottest acts in the biz and that's how she earned at least 5 of her #1s. I always wondered why on earth can't Mariah do the same. And now she did. I don't care if piggybacking on other tracks/artists' success is how she earns her hits these days, as long as it keeps her on the charts and introduces her to the new generation of music fans, then so be it. And if Stella had a hand in this, then I guess kudos to her for this act alone. It would be the smartest thing she has done even if it took way too long. I won't get carried away yet, though - she's still 99% horrible. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 12:51)

Re: Unfortgettable remix (78,077) (78,081) by Butterfly from Wow, she sounds so fresh and her vocals are very clear. Yes, Mariah this is what people want. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 12:26)

Unforgettable remix (78,080) by darrian liu from taiwan Yas Mimi. This is already the smartest move career move she has done in years. The song is already a certified top 10 hit, and it could topple Despacito off, remembering how its numbers are quite strong. Crossing fingers to it being Mariah's 19th no. 1.

Re: Unforgettable Mariah Carey remix (78,078) (78,079) by Edouard from France Yes. Already more than 4000 views on YouTube for a remix no one has really heard of yet and within a few hours. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 10:04)

Unforgettable Mariah Carey remix (78,078) by enwar00 from usa What? Unforgettable is one of our big beach songs this summer (Feels is another). I already love the song, and now hearing Mariah sing on it wow. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 06:08)

Unfortgettable remix (78,077) by Bobby A from United States I just heard a 45-minute of the remix. Yes. Yes. Yes. It is pure perfection. This is what MC needs to get back on the radio. I love the texture in her voice. It rides so pretty and eloquently over the beat. It will be released officially 8.25 at midnight. Have you all missed me? I am back and jumping up and down over this remix. It is hot. Thank you French Montana for not forgetting MC. You returned the favor. We love you for it. I have a new workout song. Just like a little kid with his new toy. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 06:01)

Re: Urgh (78,048) (78,076) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It can be sickening at times, but in fairness to them, they don't just do that with Mariah but with other artists as well. They always resort to associating an act with their biggest hits. Besides, if Mariah actually allotted more focus over the past few years (like the kind she dedicates to trying different ventures when it comes to making money) to actually making truly great music, working with the right people, stepping out of her comfort zone and dressing appropriately, then she would have possibly at least had a Top 10 hit since #Beautiful and the title of that hit would be used to describe her as well. I know that's a lot of maybes, but it would always be interesting to think of what could have been. I guess lately I don't mind them writers using Mariah's hits to describe her (as reductive as it may seem for others) because I personally see it as a way to remind the readers who she is and how incomparably great she was at her prime. People should know what this woman is capable of. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 04:57)

Re: Vision Of Love's vocal showcase (8/16/2017) (78,073) (78,075) by B from USA (Thursday 24 August 2017; 04:37)

Re: Vision Of Love's vocal showcase (8/16/2017) (78,073) (78,074) by Edouard from France wow. You're totally right. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 01:58)

Vision Of Love's vocal showcase (8/16/2017) (78,073) by 123 from USA My favorite version of this song in a looooong time. I love how she went for some higher notes at the end and created new ad libs from a song from 1990. Idk how she creates new riffs and runs but that's what separates her from other singers is her musicality. (Thursday 24 August 2017; 01:21)

Re: Simply amazing (78,068) (78,072) by Edouard from France I believe the Oslo show is the best she's had in years. ABMB is simply amazing. I wonder if it has something to do with Josephine (her long time friend) being here? (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 22:33)

Re: Simply amazing (78,068) (78,071) by Edouard from France What a beautiful post Billy. You got my point exactly. In the video I linked from the Oslo concert, Mariah is as effervescent, fun, vocally agile, and physically at ease as ever. That's what I meant. I think Mariah is under a lot of pressure, to be succesful, to be there for us, to be there for her children and finally moving on to the love life she deserves. Whether it's with Bryan Tanaka or not. She also has to deal with things we're not aware of. And I believe it's a lot. She's had some off days. Yes. Mariah's instrument is her voice. When you're a dancer and you are bruised, you can't go on stage. When Mariah's voice is not at its best, she's still going on stage. I'm a singer, and some days, the voice is not as good as the day before, or the next. And I'm not talking about being sick, I just mean that the voice is kinda like the weather forecast. Not very predictable. Unless you're very careful, which Mariah is. But it means that she has to save her voice on some shows in order to deliver for the next. I know she does her best with what she's got. We can't deny that. It may be frustrating but I mean, are we on everyday? Clearly not. I feel so lucky to have this woman in my life.

Ledisi (78,070) by RibbonB from USA Wow, Ledisi slayed her new song "High" last night on Black Girls Rock. I absolutely love the song. The band and arrangement were beyond great. Mariah should seek vocal coaching and a little showmanship coaching from Ledisi, on the low of course. I would definitely love if she and Ledisi would co write a song. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 22:23)

Re: Self esteem (78,063) (78,069) by RibbonB from USA Yes, and that is why so many fans are worried about her. Very telling for her to admit that, while in the midst of her current fiasco of "friends". Their favorite refrain of "she knows what she is doing" should be glaringly wrong, but they won't see it that way. Obviously she is never clear about what she is doing. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 22:17)

Re: Simply amazing (78,056) (78,068) by Billy from Greece In truth, this is the typical complaint that fans of most (if not all) musicians that achieved massive superstardom have. I have seen this happening with artists like Diana Ross, Elton John, Tori Amos, even Prince, and the list goes on. Some artists are less polarizing than others. But there is always something that changes along the way that comes in opposition to the original image/sound that the musician established, leaving fans feeling either puzzled or "betrayed" or unable to follow the evolution. At the same time, some manage to adjust to said evolution. I first fell in love with Mariah's voice during the "Music Box" era, which at this point may be the least "Mariah-esque" era, but I could see that there was something differently fascinating happening post Butterfly that only got me more intrigued. I totally understand why Edouard posted his "Mariah is still the Mariah we fell in love with" comment, because in that Oslo performance I can recognize elements of all the things that have come to define Mariah as we know her both now and in her earlier years. I also posted a while back a performance of "Always Be My Baby" from the same concert saying something similar. I just happen to be able to embrace most (if not all) sides of Mariah at this point, and I can see them as a whole. Sure, if you put the "Hero" video next to the "Heartbreaker (Remix)" video you can detect an obvious discrepancy image-wise. But I don't mind that. You can similarly compare Elton John's raw "piano boy" early 1970s classics to his overproduced and over the top mid-1980s outing and detect a similar gap. Undoubtedly, there are certain aspects of Mariah's image/productions that I prefer over others, but musically I have never felt "betrayed". I have witnessed her go in directions that are downright indefensible (Mariah's World) but I'm always genuinely intrigued by most of the things she does, musically first and foremost, including her still mighty and gorgeous voice. Despite natural limitations/alterations that inevitably occur resulting into aesthetic change, I really don't understand how people can't appreciate the masterful and ever complicated, frankly inimitable, directions she has gone vocally over the last three years, especially in "Vision of Love" in Vegas for instance, at least when she is "on" and in good performing days (which still outnumber the bad ones). As I've said before, it is the medium of "popular music culture" that she still operates within that accentuate whatever flaws people harp on. If she threw that out of the window, yet with all the glitz and glamour still in, I think she would be less polarizing. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 20:22)

Re: Simply amazing (78,058) (78,067) by MusicfanJ from Germany But to change yourself or "image/persona" 180 degrees is strange. Of course every one changes a bit. You get smarter because of the experiences and so on. I'm still a huge fan but sometimes I don't recognize Mariah. Never thought I would say that. The persona she shows nowadays is not the Mariah I fell in love too. Not at all. But I do believe that inside herself there's still the Mariah most of us fell in love with. To be a living legend must be the hell sometimes. So I understand if she "hides herself". (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 20:21)

New Taylor Swift song (78,066) by SM from Citizen of the World Looks like the single despacito will tie with OSD because I'm assuming Taylor Swift will debut at #1. Webmaster any reason why my post about the Boston concert wasn't posted? [Webmaster: Next time, start a sentence with a capital and end it with a dot, and your messages will get posted. Also names are written with a capital, so it's "Mariah" and not "mariah".] (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 20:21)

Re: Best hope of dethroning D (78,049) (78,065) by Susana from USA Any song is fine with me at this point. The quality of the song that will go nameless hence D is just crap really. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 20:18)

Saw Mariah At TD Gargen Boston 8/22/2017 (78,064) by Derek Eddy from USA I have seen hundreds of artists in my life and Mariah Carey was just awful last night. She seemed to be drugged, had no energy and just behaved bizarrely. I was very disappointed and feel sad for her. I remembered when I first saw her on SNL back in 1990. Well she is not even a shell of what she once was. No high notes and just saying crazy things. It was good thing a real professional like Lionel Richie was there. It was great seeing a true entertainer live and fully functional. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 19:06)

Re: Self esteem (78,050) (78,063) by Lila from United States "Did any of you guys stop to think the clothes and who she hangs around give her the attention she craves?" Many fans on this message board and beyond "stopped to think" that Mariah's clothing choices along with her many other poor choices as a byproduct of low to no self-esteem, self confidence, and common sense long before this article.

Article: Mariah Carey throws a VIP pajama party (78,062) by Robin Elkins from United States Why she always journey at the hip with her manager? (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 19:05)

Re: Simply amazing (78,056) (78,061) by Edouard from France Well I fell in love with the AMMB/Honey/Heartbreaker and everything since Mariah, so I guess it's just a matter of perspective. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 17:54)

Re: What happened to Mariah's voice? (78,053) (78,060) by ksquarred from paris Actually that's what I was saying. I never said she sounded like her younger self, except when lip-synching of course. I said she could sound great to some songs, like "I'll be there", different but great, and that she had to accept her voice had changed, something she will never do because she's too insecure. Like she'll never accept her body and face have matured. So we agree in a way, and even if we didn't there was no need to be agressive, it's a free world darling. (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 17:19)

Re: Mariah Carey single with French Montana (78,057) (78,059) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Source? Is it a new song or is she on the remix of "Unforgettable" like some fans theorized after the photo she posted a while back? (Wednesday 23 August 2017; 17:11)
