Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,845) by MusicfanJ from Germany "There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel." Everytime I see that, it makes me sad too. I miss the happy Mariah. I know there were many setbacks the last two years, but I hope in the future she will be happy again. Feeling good and carefree and at last maybe finding a true soul. She deserves all the happiness in the world. Not just money and fame. I hope she enjoys her new home, a place in Connecticut sounds wonderful to me. (Wednesday 20 May 2026; 14:28) this is a reply to message 113,843

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,843) by Lambi from USA Hi lamb. I recommend reading the book Hollywood Babylon. It highlights: • Exploitation by managers/studios/family. • Repeated public breakdown/mental illness narratives. • The entertainment industry profiting from vulnerable stars. The recurring theme is that stars are treated more like assets than people; controlled financially, medically, and publicly. They sort of follow the same playbook anytime someone tries to get out of major contracts. I believe Mariah survived 2001 by the grace of God. As much I think she is tremendously strong and is a true survivor, I also think after decades of atrocities against your life and legacy, you are inevitably going to be fatigued, which is what I've been feeling from her in these last years. Her overall demeanor, even when laughing, still has that cloud hovering over it. There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel. (Wednesday 20 May 2026; 00:17)

Mariah cover songs (113,844) by Lambi from USA I remember liking #Beautiful as a song, but I could not get past how dried up her breathy head voice was; therefore I never played the song as much. It's a feeling I hadn't felt about her voice before at the time. There were subtleties of it with MC2U too, but I was still able to get on with When Christmas Comes. She eventually redeemed herself, though. I really liked her whispers in Stay Long Love You, Giving Me Life, With You, and The Distance, probably because of the way they were mixed sonically: just a bit of soft pitch correction, airy reverb, minimal compression, and high-end EQ to fine-tune the breathy tone. She also harmonized them with elements of her lower register. It's hauntingly darker, smoky, and somewhat fresh. I think it's the piano-belting vocal-type songs that aren't really hitting the spot. Frankenstein approach is pretty accurate. Also if we didn't know, we'd probably assume Cry, Camouflage, Portrait, and HFIA belonged on the same album just because of how similar the high belts sound.

Mariah cover songs (113,823) by Bill from the UK It's an oddity in her catalogue because her other covers have all been really, really good. And she sort of brought it back with My Love. Although her voice is shot now she managed to pull it off and it's probably my favourite from the LP. I think because MIAM had such a Frankenstein approach to the vocals, all super engineered, enhanced, pitched up, and cut and spliced to mask how bad her voice has gotten, it just doesn't even sound like her. More like an AI rendition of what Mariah would do. Which, in fact, is what it probably was. (Friday 15 May 2026; 09:29)

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,830) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Diane Dimond's book "We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong", which is about abuses of guardianship like those committed against Britney Spears. I just came across a passage where Diane Dimond lists celebrity cases where someone attempted or proposed a guardianship/conservatorship and Mariah's name was mentioned alongside B.B. King, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and others. Has anyone else read or heard anything about this? It doesn't surprise me that someone tried this against Mariah and it seems most likely to have occurred during the 2001 hospitalizations or the 2016 incident. Stella seems the most likely culprit in my opinion. Dimond's book makes it seem like the system is very easy to weaponize for financial gain. No wonder Mariah was so outspoken in her support for Britney. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 21:21)

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,842) by T from USA Also her instrument is not cooperating with her anymore. I think that's the main problem. (Tuesday 19 May 2026; 13:39) this is a reply to message 113,841

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,841) by nancy from Switzerland Great outfits. They look good on her. But lately for MC it is not about the music, it is only about her looks and fashion logos. She has the urge to show off. I don't feel the motivation anymore in her music. No stage presence. At interviews she speaks so slow. Like she is doing a favour to someone giving this interview. Other celebs like Madonna etc who are much older still drop singles and remixes altogether in no time and also implement fashion in their art. They give interesting and natural interviews. In Mariahs management there is no organization. Just delays. And lack of promoting. Her old stuff like Christmas gets all the attention. Just to squeeze the last money from her old success. Madonna, also started with Holiday and La Isla Bonita. But she moves on to the next chapter. I also dislike that Mariah communicates loudly. I think I've done enough. If she thinks she has done enough then stop. I am a fan since her very beginning. When Tommy was around there was more structure. If its over it's over. (Monday 18 May 2026; 22:24)

Drake (113,838) by Giovanni from USA I'm no fan of Drake but he is projected to do very well with his new album/albums. His sales and his streaming numbers are good and he has gotten decent reviews on the music. I think Here For It All might have sold more and done better if the music was better. I think the album served its purpose as being therapeutic for Mariah but she needs something on the level of Caution at least. I don't expect her to sell like she used to but just make an album that will make the remaining fans she has left happy. I think most of us were over the album fast because the music wasn't the best or the voice wasn't the best, but it was still decent. It did get some success with "In your feelings" and "Jesus I do".

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,837) by Giovanni from USA You also forgot to mention Wendy. I don't care what anyone thinks of Wendy, what happened to her is horrible. I really hope she is out of her guardianship soon and back on TV or on a podcast. Daytime television has never been the same without Wendy or Ellen. I didn't wanna believe the allegations against Ellen but I guess they were true. I loved Wendy and Ellen's show, I don't watch TV much these days. It's so scary the thought of Mariah being placed under guardianship. I think in Wendy's case it was to silence her for good and also get her money. (Monday 18 May 2026; 12:23) this is a reply to message 113,830

Mariah cover songs (113,826) by ADAM from USA I am so glad you expressed this aloud. I've always felt this way. It's the one album I never listen to. It's really unpleasant to listen to and sounds robotic. (Friday 15 May 2026; 13:43) this is a reply to message 113,823

Mariah cover songs (113,823) by Bill from the UK It's an oddity in her catalogue because her other covers have all been really, really good. And she sort of brought it back with My Love. Although her voice is shot now she managed to pull it off and it's probably my favourite from the LP. I think because MIAM had such a Frankenstein approach to the vocals, all super engineered, enhanced, pitched up, and cut and spliced to mask how bad her voice has gotten, it just doesn't even sound like her. More like an AI rendition of what Mariah would do. Which, in fact, is what it probably was. (Friday 15 May 2026; 09:29)

Mariah cover songs (113,818) by jaker20 from US I'd put My Love higher, it's one of her best covers. And Mariah needs to be convinced that this is the direction she should be taking: understated vocals, calm, relaxed, but still playful and easy to listen to. (Friday 15 May 2026; 00:17)

Mariah cover songs (113,824) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right. Should be more at number ten. I love the song. It's a favourite from HFIA.

Mariah cover songs (113,814) by Edward from USA Her Minnie Mouse on helium version of "One More Try" was truly horrendous, in my humble opinion. She really shouldn't have gone anywhere near that song after 2012. It was always one of those songs I dreamed of her covering. I'd even get annoyed just imagining her cutting it down to some rushed 3.5min version. So when the tracklist leaked and I saw she kept the full length intact, I was actually excited. Then release day came and... I was shocked, like, what the heck did you do? For the first time ever, I genuinely felt like she took a classic and completely butchered it. Somebody on YouTube mixed her version with George Michael's original vocals and turned it into a duet that's way more passable. (Thursday 14 May 2026; 17:19)

Mariah cover songs (113,819) by jaker20 from US Absolutely embarrassing. I can't imagine what George Michael was thinking, since he was still with us at the time of its release. The fan made duet is infinitely better, and could actually have been a minor hit for her. A duet with an artist that she share a lot of history with (considering their history with Sony), that would have been a great opportunity. She really needs to stop attempting to scream her records. No one cares about diva vocals in 2026 unless she's auditioning for The Voice. It's all about the lyrics, the beats, the ideas, and hopefully she still has a few left in those categories.
