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) this is a reply to message 112,024

Immobile on stage (112,024) by Lambi from USA I think with her luxurious lifestyle, she probably does. Nick Cannon said it costs Mariah $150-200k just to step out of the house. That's ranging from security, hair, make up, jets. I won't even start with the price tags of her wardrobe and jewelries. It's safe to assume she lives extremely large.

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) this is a reply to message 112,022

Immobile on stage (112,022) by Lambi from USA It's true and it all stems from Mariah's incredible work ethic. "I always felt like the rug could be pulled from under me, and I was afraid that if I didn't work twice as hard as everybody else, everything I worked hard for in my life would be gone and I'd be back living in a little shack." Also after being a mother, I'd assume her desire to work amplified. She's still pushing herself, still maximizing the workload with whatever energy she has left. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 12:37)

My 2 cents (112,028) by Edward from USA Who are we blaming now for Caution's demise? Please elaborate on it with some verifiable facts. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 16:29) this is a reply to message 112,025

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)

Which song would've you picked? (112,027) by Lighty from China If Sugar Sweet's featuring artist was Ariana or Sabrina then I'd pick this one. Otherwise I think Nothing is Impossible could've been this era's Through the Rain. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 16:20) 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)

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)

Immobile on stage (112,023) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands If performing causes so much pain that she can hardly move, why is she still performing? Does she need the money? I thought she had enough money to retire. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 12:39)

Immobile on stage (112,021) by Lambi from USA Well, we can all see with our own two eyes that she is suffering from some sort of disease. She's clearly in pain but she's sticking it out. So yeah, just the mere fact that she's still showing up is commendable. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 12:23)

Immobile on stage (112,009) by Lambi from USA I looked it up, apparently Fibromyalgia is likely caused by a complex interaction of genetics, neurological changes, environmental triggers, and stress, leading to central sensitization, an amplified pain response in the nervous system. Often triggered by an event, such as: infections, injury, surgery, emotional trauma (e.g., PTSD, overwhelming stress) We may never truly know, as she is a private person, which is entirely her right, but certain aspects do seem to make sense. For me, the most painful part was witnessing the entire world watch her being exposed for lip-syncing in such a jarring way. It is already not normal for billions of people to know a human being. What more when something personal you've tried to protect, be revealed so publicly and in such a humiliating fashion. I will never comprehend what that does to one's psyche. Mariah has long since recovered as she's done countless of shows and people are still showing up but just the fact that her body had to actually experience that kind of shock saddens me. Anyway, what ever it is, I can attest she is really doing the best with what she's got. Let's all uplift Mariah's health in prayer. I pray she also takes the time to get the rest and healing her body needs, so she can keep doing what she loves and make music for the multitudes. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 02:50)

The impossible (112,017) by Anonymous from USA There were so many finger snaps I believe Mariah sprained an index finger. But I still love it. I don't mind the finger snaps. Truly under appreciated. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 03:35) this is a reply to message 112,010

The impossible (112,010) by Dove from United States Yeah, I can't listen to the whole album all the way through because of the "finger snaps", which, to me, sound like hands clapping. It does get repetitive. That was one of my main complaints when the album first came out. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 03:32)

A no no (112,016) by Anonymous from USA Me. I love A No No. I love the Caution album as well. The Distance was really good, Caution should've been a single. GTFO was my favorite though. With You was a solid record. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 03:33) this is a reply to message 112,013

A no no (112,013) by Giovanni from USA Now that I'm over my replay of "The impossible" I'm now on "A no no". This song is a bop and the production is good. I wish we had gotten a long extended version as well as a remix with Ariana with some killer background vocals. I love the Caution album, it's in my top five favorites from MC. I even love the cover art as well. Anybody like "A no no"? (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 20:26)

Jesus I Do (112,015) by Anonymous from USA I can't believe this song turned out to be my favorite track on the album. I went to bed singing it and woke up singing it. I hate that the album has already fallen off the charts. Many people are missing out on one of Mariah's best efforts. The Clark Sisters really made the song better with their incredible voices and melodies. Mariah did her thang too. She put her stank on it, as we say. I love the entire album. I hope we still get a deluxe version. I try not to skip any songs since they all offer something different and evoke different emotions in me. She really does offer something for everyone on her albums and this one is no different. I don't care about the charts or the general public, and if Jermaine likes it, then I like it. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 20:59)

MusiCares (112,014) by Giovanni from USA Sorry but I got my info wrong. It is MusiCares who is naming Mariah person of the year not the Grammys. My mistake. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 20:32)

2026 Grammys person of the year (112,012) by Giovanni from USA So apparently Mariah will be honored and was named person of the year at next year's Grammy awards. I'm so happy for her. In my opinion this is good for her career and can help with the next album. Hopefully she will be respected and more liked again by those who don't. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 20:00)

Wow (112,011) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Bill for your kind words. We have been riding together a long time. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 11:35) this is a reply to message 112,005

Wow (112,005) by Bill from the UK Nothing personal, but I think the recent comments needed to be addressed as they were presented as facts when they absolutely were not. I do the same when others come on here and start making stuff up. You also tried a couple of posts ago to dress me down but it doesn't bother me, nor should you let what I post bother you. To be completely honest I enjoy your enthusiasm and energy when you're talking about Mariah. And Bobby A and I are tight, I love him dearly and we've never had a bad word between us. He's one of the best fans I've ever come across. We've been friends for years. So let's move on and talk about Mariah and her great new music she's delivered. (Monday 20 October 2025; 16:37)

The impossible (112,007) by Bill from the UK Nice to see Memoirs get some love. My issue with the album was how Mariah handed the production of every track over to The Dream, so it very much stayed in the same gear, and the finger snaps can get a bit tiresome after a while. But lyrically it's great, her harmonies are gorgeous on songs like Ribbon and Candy Bling, and IWTKWLI was a fantastic cover. Languishing remains one of her best introspective ballads, so beautifully melodic and it sounds so fragile and delicate. In fact the one song that is quite jarring is Obsessed. The opener of Betcha Gon Know is fab, she really does a great job of painting the picture, very visual lyrics. (Monday 20 October 2025; 18:42)

Immobile on stage (112,008) by Dave from USA I have never heard she suffered from Fibromyalgia as the article posted suggested. I always assumed it was a combination of possible bipolar meds (Lithium) and lack of confidence on stage due to her vocal decline. (Monday 20 October 2025; 18:48)

The impossible (111,998) by jaker20 from US I'm glad fans are waking up to Memoirs. I loved it from the first listen. It's turned out to be Mariah's most listened to album in the streaming era, excluding Merry Christmas of course. I really hope Mariah pull out all the stops to release Angel's Advocate, unlikely but not being able to stream Angels Cry remix is wrong. (Monday 20 October 2025; 05:46)

The impossible (112,006) by Lambi from USA Honestly MOAIA is one of her better albums. She went pretty hard considering E=MC2's potential got cut too short due to her miscarriage. I remember playing it to friends and them loving Inseparable. I hated writing essays in school about topics I had no interest in and Memoirs really got me through the bleakness. I started humming "Boy I'ma love you until the end" from More Than Just Friends today, like I did in 2009. I love rediscovering how much I love a song. I also love how Mariah sang low in Candy Bling, very much how she sang through out HFIA. Rapriah giving homage to Ahmad's Back In The Day needs to get more credit. I'm the same Mimi Fame ain't changed me Butterfly flow like Muhammad Ali Wish I can bring you back like the O.D.B. (Monday 20 October 2025; 17:08) this is a reply to message 111,998
