Something is coming (113,343) by Bobby A from United States It looks rumors of MC and Rihanna in the studio last week are being confirmed on X. Nostradamus reported Jack Antonoff or Soundz and Kuk Harrell were in the studio as well. Something has clicked with MC that a high profile collaboration is her only way back to the top of the Hot 100. Also, Kuk Harrell knows how to make a female singers' vocals shine on a song. He has been Rihanna's vocal producer for 20 years. (Saturday 28 February 2026; 15:41)

Bruno Mars new album (113,342) by Bobby A from United States I believe it is his best album so far of his career. I could not help myself and say why hasn't MC collaborated with Bruno Mars, D'Mile, Phillip Lawerence, and James Fauntleroy together on one song?

Bruno Mars new album (113,340) by Giovanni from USA I'm curious if any of you have listened to Bruno's new album. From what I've seen most like it. "Risk it all" is very nice, I love the Spanish guitar so much. I've even seen some already saying AOTY and I just laugh. Come on now. (Friday 27 February 2026; 23:08)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,341) by Jamie from UK Yeah Believe was an anthem at the time, still is. Plus Cher's voice was still there auto tuned but still strong and relatable. Unfortunately Mariah's voice isn't, it's weak and fractured. Unless you're a fan like us it's not really relatable to the general public. It's not gonna get anyone's attention like it used too. I showed my mum the Olympic performance and she said she needs to bow out gracefully. This was hard to hear but sometimes I think she's probably right. As fans we're giving Mariah the benefit of the doubt with her performances and lack lustre voice as we want to still believe in her but I'm coming to the opinion that maybe it is time. Unless something can be done to both her vocals and herself, I can't see her having a hit again. (Saturday 28 February 2026; 13:11) this is a reply to message 113,336

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,336) by TJ from Norway I know you didn't ask me, but I don't think Mariah would reach that spot with any song from that album. It's almost impossible for an artist to get a number one after that many years in the business. Cher did, but she did something completely new when it happened. (Thursday 26 February 2026; 10:39)

I had a dream (113,339) by Giovanni from USA Yes I knew about that account but was blocked lol. Probably because I made a comment about Mariah''s current voice. I really don't like X anyways so I just get my news from you all here. (Friday 27 February 2026; 23:04) this is a reply to message 113,318

I had a dream (113,318) by Lighty from China Just follow "Nostradamus Insider" on X and you'll be as good a detective as our dear Bobby A. But the accuracy of the leaks from that "insider" is at most half half, dare I say. (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:38)

I had a dream (113,338) by Giovanni from USA There's supposedly a rumor of a collaboration but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I do believe Mariah wants a hit but if it never happens it's okay. I just hope the next record makes more noise. (Friday 27 February 2026; 23:00) this is a reply to message 113,313

I had a dream (113,313) by Bobby A from United States Yes, I know MC has reflected upon her missteps with HFIA and now has a plan to give us a Mariah Carey album we have not heard since Daydream, Butterfly or TEOM. I just feel MC is getting ready to join the following legacy artists in the Grammy platinum album comeback club. 1. Steely Dan - Two Against Nature (2000) 2. Paul Simon - Graceland (1986) 3. D'Angelo - Black Messiah (2014) 4. Santana - Supernatural (1999) 5. Green Day - American Idiot (2004) 6. Loretta Lynn Van Lear Rose (2004) (Sunday 22 February 2026; 18:24)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,337) by Lighty from China Maybe the song will chart if she releases it as a duet with Paul McCartney. I mean just chart, not necessarily go to No.1. (Thursday 26 February 2026; 17:13) this is a reply to message 113,324

Article: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveils 2026 nominees (113,334) by Lainsky from Philippines Give to Mariah already. I hope she gets it this year. I have been seeing her name every year, so I hope this is her year or on her 40th? (Thursday 26 February 2026; 04:19)

Rich Harrison (113,333) by Bobby A from United States Does anyone know why MC never collaborated with Rich Harrison? He has some hit songs like Crazy In Love, Ring The Alarm, 1 Thing, and Get It Right. It is just odd that MC never jumped on that bandwagon. Maybe she didn't like the fact all of his songs tyically have a frenetic vocal performance and an intense percussion sound. (Thursday 26 February 2026; 01:06)

Rock and roll hall of fame (113,332) by Tameka walker from United states Let's vote as many times as possible because we all know that Mariah deserves to be inducted. (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 18:29)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,331) by Jamie from UK I totally agree. I was playing it in the car a few days ago, it had been a while since I listened to it. I thought to myself the lyrics are great and genius and if someone else had released it then it would have done better. (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 17:16) this is a reply to message 113,315

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,315) by jaker20 from US Mariah is not in the stage of her career where she should be singing this type of songs anymore. She is not cool and she can't vibe with the beat. It's a great cool song, and if it's released by Ariana or Taylor, it would be a hit. The hype was there until she performed it on BET Awards, and the public saw that she can barely walk, and so the song tanked. It's a performance song, and she needs help to walk. There is a disconnect between her and what lambs want her to do. If she wants to release a modern song like Type Dangerous, maybe it's better if they release a really great video and then hide her from the public. It's the same situation with Sugar Sweet. If that song is released by someone else, it would be a hit because it's a great song. But the supposed video of it, it's the same touching her hair and hips moves. Well I have no words how bad it is. How do you craft a great song and throw it away like that is the current state of Mariah's career. So Mariah 2026 problem is not the song, and not even her voice. The problem is her, she doesn't know how to perform these types of songs anymore. She cannot be directed, not choreographed. I think it's time Mariah and lambs accept the fact that she should only release songs that matches her current personality and her performance level. It's sad when lambs post here that they listen to AI Mariah. They are imagining a Mariah of the good old days on her current songs which is some mental acrobatics. That's just how bad her situation is, and just a bad way to listen to music in general. They'd rather listen to Mariah sounding like a chipmunk (frankly that's how AI sounds to me in general), that is not her, than accept her current state. Equally sadder is suggesting a nodules operations, another lamb fanfic that will somehow turn back the clock. For me My Love is her current state. It does not fit on the radio nor the streaming hits right now, but its authentic to her current voice and personality. And I'm sure she can at least perform that kind of song live. Think 70s Carpenters, understated, standard, mature, dare I say: basic. That's her in 2026 and the next few years. She's not a popstar anymore nor a vocal diva anymore and the first step is accepting it. Also, to add: everyone was excited about Nothing Is Impossible, then all the excitement went away after she performed it at the Olympics. Her performance almost always backfires on her own songs. That's what happened with #Beautiful, and that's the state of her new songs over the past 15 years if you think about it. At least on her non-Christmas songs. Thankfully the legacy of those classics is so strong she herself can't ruin them anymore when she performs them. (Monday 23 February 2026; 03:38)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (113,330) by Bobby A from United States MC was nominated for a third time again today. I think My Love and Jesus I Do caught the committee's attention to receive another nomination. When MC walks across the stage this year, it will be a huge accomplishment for MC. (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 15:52)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (113,329) by Dave from USA Congratulations to Mariah for another opportunity to be inducted into the R&R HoF. Here's to hoping she makes it this time. (I know damn well if Shakira or P!nk get inducted for her, the process is just rigged at that point, lol.) (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 15:38)

Mariah and Janet duet (113,328) by John from USA I envision a Mariah and Janet duet where they can both whisper to their hearts' content. It should be a dance heavy, pop and R&B infused song, similar to but not as dated (nor poorly produced) as this song. I can see it now: Janet on one side dancing her socks off. Mariah on a bed cavorting and acting all sexy in front of a wind machine. Scream could nevah (evah). (Wednesday 25 February 2026; 06:28)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,327) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't think it's a potential number one hit. Also it's a wonderful song. But the charts are so "strange" nowadays. What does the UK fans think? I think "NII" had the most hit potential. Too bad it wasn't released or pushed more. (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 20:18) this is a reply to message 113,324

HFIA Breakdown (113,326) by Terna from Nigeria Are you kidding? The Roof for me was an immediate love and it kinda made me aware of the difference between Pop songs and R&B songs, matter of fact that whole album "Butterfly" is such a masterpiece from that sacred era of music, the late 90's when digital recordings were becoming a thing. I'm glad Mariah has that one body of work, released right in the heart of that time era 1996 - 1998, and then also there was "When You Believe". Wow. Oh how time flies, 1998 will soon be 30 years ago (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 19:25) this is a reply to message 113,317

HFIA Breakdown (113,317) by Lainsky from Philippines The Roof has grown on me over the years. I didn't like it at first. Her current voice is suited to sing songs like this and Breakdown. So, yes, it would be nice if she released an album with songs influenced by hip-hop like these, and I won't mind. (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:20)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,320) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great post. I have the same thought about all the mentioned things. You described it perfectly. With the "current personality and her performance level", that's a good point too. I wonder what the answer could be about the current personality and performances? I don't know the answer but I would say jazz, blues and retro soul suits better than hip-hop or modern RnB songs for a legend like Mariah nowadays. "My love" is a highlight on HFIA and such a beautiful song and cover. (Monday 23 February 2026; 17:23)

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,323) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Dreamlover" was very strong as a single. It's so Mariah at its best. It has such a good vibe. And how I love the remix. I just can't get over the 90ies. Lol. (Tuesday 24 February 2026; 14:21) this is a reply to message 113,321

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,316) by Lainsky from Philippines "TD is a fun song, and I agree that the intro beat and sample are fantastic. While the chorus is somewhat underwhelming, I still like the song, though I don't love it as much as her first singles from the 90s. 'Fantasy', 'Honey', 'Heartbreaker', and 'Emotions' are her four strongest first singles. Each of these songs features a chorus that people can easily sing and hum along to, which is something that 'TD' lacks." (Monday 23 February 2026; 06:17)
