New collaborators / berhana (74,463) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Now we all know by now that Mariah would rather collaborate with rappers (usually up-and-coming or on the C-list), and that if she were to collaborate with another female, it would be a rapper, or that if she were to duet with someone who isn't a rapper, it would be a male artist. (This aversion towards female collaborators is really killing her creativity and is also unintentionally bad for her image.) But as much as I love Mariah's blend of pop and R&B with hip-hop, if she were to work with a male artist, why not ditch the rapper obsession for a while and look for someone with some soul? Not sure if you have heard about berhana, but from what I know he's been out since 2015, he has an EP that's downloadable for free on his website, and his song Janet has the kind of retro-modern yet laid-back vibe that is missing from radio right now. Check him out. Me thinks he would sound great with Mariah. His harmonies are amazing. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 12:47)

Disneyland (74,462) by Will from England Mariah looks great in that new insta pic. Looks like she's losing weight again, and almost back to her Idol look. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 10:05)

Mariah and R&B (74,461) by darrian liu from taiwan Mariah needs a new direction. I say go with Daft Punk. Her signature R&B/Pop/Hip-hop sound would go together so well with Daft Punk's sound. They're still churning out hits that are actually good and they're much, much better than that basic ass, tired, repetitive duo The Chainsmokers. I've grown to dislike The Chainsmokers's songs so much, I'm mad at myself for suggesting Mariah to collab with them a few months ago. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 09:57)

Article: Mariah, Bryan did not have fight over birthday gift (74,460) by Manny from U.S. "They just make sh*t up." It's sad that they quote "Mariah's rep" as saying this and I almost believe it because Stella curses like a trucker. In one interview she said sh*t three times. I hope LA or someone makes her see how her brand is being tarnished. A publicist should do damage control, not curse out the media a la Trump. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 07:53)

Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,459) by darrian liu from taiwan This video is gonna be the death of me. At the last minute I think I died and went to heaven where the choir of angels is replaced by dozens of Mariahs from different eras. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:50)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,441) (74,458) by Stacey from USA Haha, I was thinking along the same lines before I ever saw this post. I want to believe things will be different. But, I'm slowly realizing MC's best days may be behind her. May... (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:49)

Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,457) by Myles from CT, USA This is the truest piece of composition I have ever read. It's so on point. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:19)

Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,456) by Tevin from USA Thanks a lot Andrew. I went to watch the video you put the link to, and then I ended up blowing an hour watching old Mariah videos lol. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:07)

Re: The cycle of Andrew's lambs (74,450) (74,455) by B from USA Mariah is respected in the industry. She's also respected outside of the lambily. Yes, people tore her down after the NYE debacle but they also love to build them back up. If she can make a comeback after the Glitter era she can bounce back from anything. The younger generation (below 20) are split evenly on Mariah, they either hate her because she was mean to Ariana and others discovered Mariah because Ariana covered Emotions and was constantly compared to her.

New producer (74,454) by B from USA Mark Ronson, Happy Perez, and Bruno and The Smeezingtons is who she should work with. I wonder what a song written by Mariah and Max Martin would sound like. She's written R&B Pop songs for Britney and Christina. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 00:58)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,447) (74,453) by B from USA R&B can be uptempo. Dreamlover, Fantasy, and Honey are R&B songs that crossed over. Make It Look Good and YDKWYD are uptempo R&B songs. She needs to dig through the crates and find another gem like the Blind Alley sample she used for Dreamlover. Sampling Jones's songs for I Don't was a stroke of genius. The lyrics needed some work and she should have interpolated the songs lyrics into the lyrics of I Don't like she did for My All Stay Awhile. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 00:56)

Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,452) by Licia from USA That was kind of awesome. Lol. Thanks for sharing. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 00:48)

Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,451) by Ty from USA Loved this. The stage presence, great vocals, boobs missing. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 00:16)

Re: The cycle of Andrew's lambs (74,450) by Jeff from USA So true, Andrew, so true. I know my heart will be broken, but I passionately await another Butterfly and the recognition of her peers and the general public. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 00:14)

Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) by Andrew from UK If you ever wondered what two Mariahs on stage doing a duet and singing around each other would look and sound like, the last minute of thisis probably as close as you're going to get. Totally bizarre. Utterly brilliant. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 21:49)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,441) (74,448) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know if this is directed at me but it's hilarious and somewhat accurate so I'll allow it. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 21:43)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,441) (74,447) by Shezz from Pk Pretty much, but I gotta say I wasn't disappointed with MIAMTEC the album itself. It had a few gems, it was just the mess around it. And lambs can hope but MC isn't going to do anything other than RnB. JD made that very clear in his last interview. But yes that still leaves most of the listed collaborators as possibilities.

Re: Possible collaborators (74,446) by Special K from USA Daft Punk. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 19:59)

Re: New album producers (74,434) (74,445) by Special K from USA Mark Ranson, oh hell yes. I want Mariah to work with Missy Elliot again too. The songs she has produced for Monica, MJB, Keyshia Cole along with other artists have been on fire. Love Missy. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 19:55)

Re: New album producers (74,431) (74,444) by B from USA I'd be content with her writing the entire album with Babyface and then bringing in Happy Perez and other producers who can fuse together the music of the past and present like Kanye on his first two albums. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 19:12)

Happy anniversary, Touch My Body (74,443) by B from USA Nine years ago today Mariah scored her 18th Billboard Hot 100 #1 with Touch My Body. Hopefully, Mariah scores another #1. I want her to break The Beatles record so bad or for her to at least tie their record. Unfornately, the men that own and run the radios and the djs don't like MC because she broke Elvis' record they still claim that their [sic] tied because Elvis' record was a double a-side but if that's allowed Mariah has #19 because of the My All/Breakdown double a-side. Notice how hard it's been for her to get any airplay? (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 19:04)

She's in the kitchen cooking (74,442) by Edouard from France I think Butterfly MC Records is a great idea. It makes sense since it's the Butterfly album's anniversary. Mariah's in charge of her legacy as we all learn to become in our lives. I believe it's a great idea. Mariah wants to make music and she's making sure her next effort is properly supported. When you think about it, Mariah's most successful album have always come with a strong and long preparation in terms of songwritting, image, legal/label stuff, deals, publicity, media connections, etc. - Mariah Carey: Two years to cook, without counting her journey to write her first album which started way earlier than 1988. - Music Box: She was married to the head of the label so this album's success was heavily connected to Mottola's influence, good and bad. - Daydream: She changed her game working hard, fighting with the label, to incorporate more rnb hiphop influences, her own touch basically. - Butterfly: The opposite of Music Box. A lot of media attention with the divorce. Mottola had to behave. A lot of tension, you can sense it in MC's interviews - TEOM: A lot of preparation in terms of image, influence and media connection. It felt like a first album ever. Bottom line, I think Mariah knows what she's doing right now. She's in the kitchen cooking. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 17:43)

The cycle of the lambs (74,441) by Andrew from UK Mariah announces album, lamb gets excited, lamb chooses different types of music lamb wants to hear on it, lamb chooses new artists and producers Mariah should work with to achieve said sound, lamb gets frustrated with Mariah dropping hints for well over six months but not really saying anything of substance, lamb gets excited at photo of Mariah is studio but lamb is disappointed with who she is in studio with, lamb gets annoyed when album is pushed back, the already fatigued lamb tries to remain excited for the album after what feels like a lifetime of waiting, lamb gets frustrated with lack of promo for albums upcoming release, lamb suffers massive breakdown when Mariah releases another self-referential titled album featuring rent-a-rappers and produced by Jermaine Dupri, lamb becomes depressed when anything fails to chart well, lamb looks forward to next album release hoping everything will be different next time.

Re: Possible collaborators (74,438) (74,440) by B from USA Alicia Keys. I'd love it if they wrote a song like Falling, Like You'll Never See Me Again, or If I Ain't Got You. I just hope Mariah writes classy poetic lyrics like she did during Daydream and Butterfly. No more songs like Infinity, Obsessed, or I Don't, or Thirsty. Mariah's last hit was #Beautiful which updated her signature sound which is why she should work with Miguel and Happy Perez. They created magic together and I'm sure they could again. I just hope she hires a new manager and publicist for this new era. The only thing Stella & Company have done is tarnish her image. I know she has a joint production company with Stella but she could easily sell her stake in the company or just give it to her as a parting gift. I'm sure LA told her Bryan and Stella weren't doing her any favors. She ended her faux romance with Bryan and hopefully she's about to emancipate herself from the dictator. She also needs to hire a lamb to run her social media accounts. I've seen fake accounts that are better than her's. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 17:21)

Re: Possible collaborators (74,438) (74,439) by B from USA Mariah did just that by featuring Remy Ma on the remix to I Don't. I'm elated that she's reconnected with LA and is going to release an album later this year (they said to expect it sooner rather than later). I'll be ordering tickets to the New Jersey concert next month. Let's focus on the positives instead of the negatives. (Wednesday 12 April 2017; 16:22)
