About TJ from Norway: I've been a fan since she released Vision of Love in 1990. Insta: tony2909

Here For It All (111,918) by TJ from Norway I miss Mariah Daily. Back to the days when there were many fan sites. I was reading news here and there. MC Archives and Mariah Daily were the best ones. I do remember a third one, but I have forgotten the name of it. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 16:02) this is a reply to message 111,906

Here For It All (111,906) by T from USA She lists her managers on the liner notes on the new album as Michael Richardson (her former tour manager) and Liron (site administer/creator of Mariah Daily). Melissa from Caution is gone. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 02:49)

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025 (111,917) by TJ from Norway She did, 20 years ago. At least she sang. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 16:00) this is a reply to message 111,908

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025 (111,908) by Lighty from China They chose Fantasy as the closing number. Brilliant. I really do hope Mariah would've walked out with the angels (models) though. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 04:54)

Here For It All (111,916) by TJ from Norway I think you're right about that. It would have shocked me if she released this album 20 years ago. I'm always thinking that she would gain so much respect if she just took a chance and made something that is totally different from her previous work. A new sound. Glitter was one of those albums I love because of that. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 15:52) this is a reply to message 111,892

Here For It All (111,892) by T from USA Maybe because it's not as good as her former work. That's pretty easy to see. The songs are nice. But there are no hits and if she would've released this instead of E=MC2 after the Mimi era people would've been shocked. Just go back and listen to how polished and expensive her past albums were, especially Glitter. Money doesn't make a good song, but it can make an average song sound good. I actually believe this is just a collection of songs that she put together in the last seven years until she had enough to justify an album release. It's funny because with Caution everyone said if other artists released those songs they would be massive hits, but nobody is saying that for any of the songs on HFIA. I also think she got tired of the question on when is she releasing. Rihanna just ignores it and refuses to put out something that is less than her previous work. Mariah is being managed by her former tour manager and a super fan who ran a website in the past. Nothing screams expensive except those diamonds she has pictured on the album cover. She was bored in the interviews. She's over it. I'm glad she finally has some MTV Moon Man for her shelf. The last thing for her really is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Someones ugly daughter (111,897) by TJ from Norway It's just crazy. I've known about this album for some years now, and never had a real listening session before tonight. Why on earth didn't it get released back then? Reminds me so much of Garbage, back in 97. I just wish for Christmas that this album with her voice will be released. I love it. I love it so much more than her latest albums. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 21:42)

Here For It All (111,889) by TJ from Norway I'm not surprised. I don't feel the album. It seems like 99% of the members here love it, but I'm more like "meh". There are some songs that I like, but I have to admit that I haven't been listening to it since September 27th or something like that. I don't know why, but it might be me who is holding on to the past and enjoys that music much more. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 17:11) this is a reply to message 111,871

Here For It All (111,871) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands In its second week, Here For It All drops 180 spots to number 187 on Billboard's Hot 200. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 00:16)

Philippines concert (111,779) by TJ from Norway Nice to read such good reviews. It's almost like it's the same person behind both articles. (Thursday 9 October 2025; 18:05)

SUD (111,679) by TJ from Norway I think she could release that album with the voice she has today, if she doesn't whisper. I do believe her vocals would fit that kind of music. (Friday 3 October 2025; 00:48)

Album sales (111,678) by TJ from Norway It seems that MC has the highest sales numbers of the top 5 albums (in the US), but what happened to the streaming? I guess my former blonde self has missed out on something. (Friday 3 October 2025; 00:44)

Daydream (111,641) by TJ from Norway It was released on the 29th in Norway, so I can't celebrate another date. (Wednesday 1 October 2025; 13:11) this is a reply to message 111,636

Daydream (111,636) by Stacey from USA Let's not forget Daydream turned 30 on September 26th. I bet we might get a little something extra for Christmas. (Wednesday 1 October 2025; 04:09)

Streaming (111,586) by TJ from Norway How are the numbers at the moment? I have to admit that the album is growing on me. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 21:37) this is a reply to message 111,584

Streaming (111,584) by Tameka walker from United states We need to stream so Mariah can get to number one on Billboard. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 19:00)

And here it was (111,515) by TJ from Norway So, what do you all think? I think there's a couple of songs that are OK, but I am not sure about the rest of it. The title song is definitely the best one. (Friday 26 September 2025; 17:09)

Play That Song snippet (111,435) by TJ from Norway I'm not impressed by that clip, but I might think differently when I get it on the stereo. Anyone else being in kind of a limbo? It would either go that way or the other? (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 22:59) this is a reply to message 111,423

Play That Song snippet (111,423) by Lighty from China Sounds promising. (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 16:40)

Article: Mariah Carey was the "worst" celebrity guest on Mafiathon 3 (111,433) by TJ from Norway What else did they expect? (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 22:15)

Mariah's priorities (111,255) by TJ from Norway I do agree about parenting your kids to not swear while talking, as I [too] think it's not necessary to use those words. Did you grow up in a society where there was warnings on movies, albums and so on? I did not. I see the parenting guidance on the different tv series and stuff on Netflix etc, and I'm thinking this has to be a result of the worst generation ever when thinking of parenting. Generation X. We are helicoptering, stuff pillows under their arms (actually mattresses) and trying to protect them in ways that makes them incredibly insecure and not capable to handle normal problems in life. I'm not saying that you're one of those, because I really do believe you're not, but I see the parents of Generation X are often doing that. I think kids at home, and kids away from their parents can be totally different personalities and behave so differently that a lot of the parents would be shocked. Even in religious communities. Mariah's kids, I hope get the protecting they need, because I've said from day one that I hoped they would grow up away from fame and the public life she's living. Sadly this is not my first language, and I hope I made a point here. Peace and love. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 07:21) this is a reply to message 111,250

Mariah's priorities (111,250) by Stacey from USA I am glad we have warnings. As a mom to three kids (17, 14, 12), I don't want my children thinking those words are acceptable in their daily language. Swear words lack credibility with me. Just so unnecessary, IMHO. Sure my kids are exposed to them daily in school. I teach them to avoid using those words. My hope is that they will use them sparingly like me, lol. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 01:17)

Mariah's priorities (111,244) by TJ from Norway Does an album need a warning because of the words? I went to watch the Book of Mormons in Oslo this weekend, and on the row behind me there was was a family with young kids watching and obviously listening. I guess the parents were quite embarrassed. I'm so glad we usually don't have warnings because of scenes or choice of the words, because, believe me, they already know them. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 19:30) this is a reply to message 111,224

Mariah's priorities (111,224) by Stacey from USA I've broken my own rule and listened to the HFIA snippet multiple times. The sh$% word is so unnecessary. The album doesn't have the warning, explicit lyrics like MIAM did. I think it may be edited on the album version but allowed on the digital single. But man, I am loving those lyrics. So deep. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 03:36)

Here for it all (111,227) by TJ from Norway I do agree about the unnecessary use of swearing, but finally there's something that reminds of how she used to sing back in the days, before she started copying WBT. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 04:18) this is a reply to message 111,196

Here for it all (111,196) by Bill from the UK Eh. A bit disappointed this much hyped track contains profanity. It's so low rent and, as you say, no need for it. That's put a bit of a dampener on it for me sadly. I hope she isn't telling our good Lord above to "GTFO" on Jesus I Do. (Monday 15 September 2025; 10:16)

Armbracelet (111,226) by TJ from Norway Well said Edward. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 04:07) this is a reply to message 111,212

Armbracelet (111,212) by Edward from USA Mariah didn't break her shoulder, it was dislocated, which is a whole different thing. The doctors popped it back in, and with time it healed. She also cracked a rib. I bring this up because some fans love to rewrite history. Sure, maybe she doesn't have the same range of motion now, or maybe she's just being careful, who wouldn't be? But I don't think that old injury has anything to do with where she's at mentally today. Back then, she actually sang beautifully with that jeweled arm brace, and once she healed, she was fine. Things really started going downhill during Contourella's reign of terror. With her fake "empower women" nonsense, she convinced Mariah it was okay to act out and even let herself be photographed in humiliating situations. She was also the mastermind behind Mariah blaming promoters and "outside forces" after the New Year's Eve mess in 2016. That whole period left scars. And while Mariah was clearly manipulated, she wasn't completely innocent in it either, which makes it even sadder. She hasn't been the same since. Contourella basically walled her off and inserted herself into every part of her life right when Mariah was at her most vulnerable. What really gets me is when infantilize a 56-year-old to avoid holding her accountable for her choices and actions. Yes, she deserves lots of compassion and people around her who actually care, real friends who'll be honest, not just hype her up or leech off her. Even fans who used to deny it can see now that something's not right. It reminds me of Whitney's last tour. You just know people in her camp were saying, "You sound amazing, go on tour," when she was clearly struggling. That kind of denial is dangerous, and it feels like Mariah's being pushed down that same path. (Monday 15 September 2025; 18:27)

More noticeable restriction (111,225) by TJ from Norway I would do the same with those shoes. I guess we never get to know what's the problem, because she hides her real self in this fake diva dolled up person that sadly some people like. I love Mariah, and this is sad to watch. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 04:05) this is a reply to message 111,211

More noticeable restriction (111,211) by Jamie from UK I just saw this. Watch as she walks along, there is definitely something up with her mobility. You can see her legs struggle to move and she has to grab someone’s hand. Let me know your thoughts. (Monday 15 September 2025; 18:25)

Why the dislike? (111,158) by TJ from Norway It's nice to be able to have different opinions. I love that. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 11:11) this is a reply to message 111,141

Why the dislike? (111,141) by Giovanni from USA Do not come for "Don't forget about us", it's one of my favorite MC songs. The music and lyrics are very good and Mariah's voice is perfect. I actually prefer it over WBT. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:42)

Why the dislike? (111,126) by TJ from Norway Thank God I Found You and Don't Forget About Us are such a snore-fest. They don't belong with the rest of the number ones. There are so many songs in Mariah's catalogue that should have reach the top spot, but didn't. These two are not the ones. (Friday 12 September 2025; 12:09) this is a reply to message 111,119

Why the dislike? (111,119) by Edward from USA It's not that I dislike "Thank God I Found You", I just don't really care for it. To me, it feels generic and overcrowded, almost as if Mariah was unsuccessfully trying to recreate the magic of "One Sweet Day". While I don't think it truly deserved the #1 spot, I can admit it's still a decent song. And no, I'd never compare it to Crapfinity, that one is in a league of hideous all on its own. Mariah had a golden chance to redeem that track with the "Why You Mad Remix", ft big names of the moment like Justin Bieber, French Montana, and T.I., yet somehow the result was even worse. On the flip side, the "Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix)" is fantastic, and I believe it played a huge role in pushing the original to the top of the charts.

KATSEYE (111,070) by TJ from Norway It could have been like an oral exam black out, where you know the answer, but everything fades away. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 18:45) this is a reply to message 111,060

KATSEYE (111,060) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter KATSEYE was asked at the VMAs red carpet about their favorite Mariah song and none of them could name 1 song. Just 1 girl was like (My All) and the rest were like so confused and one girl asked the girl who named the song to give her a title as well. Now I don't know this group well, but apparently they're popular but for them not to know a single song by the legend that is Mariah Carey is insane. Like I don't expect them to know her full catalogue but if nothing else at least say AIWFCIY. And there are so many viral Mariah songs on TikTok. Also you're on a red carpet where she's winning a major award, you should have been more prepared to answer that question. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 15:22)

Help me there’s stairs (111,068) by TJ from Norway What shoes are we talking about? Because the ones she used on VMA show wasn't that bad? (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 18:41) this is a reply to message 111,065

Help me there’s stairs (111,065) by Edward from USA Jamie, what I don't get is why Mariah puts herself in those sky-high heels when she knows people will drag her for not moving. She could easily wear something more comfortable. Did you see the height of those heels? I don't see the point of wearing heels if you can't gracefully rock them. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 17:11)

It's coming (111,010) by TJ from Norway You think she will sell about 463k in the US alone? You are an optimist, I have to say that. I am more in the 15k area because it's 2025. I hope you are closest. (Monday 8 September 2025; 07:49) this is a reply to message 110,996

It's coming (110,996) by Bobby A from United States Me too. Lambs and non Lambs have made it the number 1 preordered R&B soul album on Amazon. I am expecting E=MC2 first week sales numbers. I will explain my reasoning tomorrow. All of my analysis is saying so. I know. Hear me out. I will explain more tomorrow. (Monday 8 September 2025; 01:18)

Daydream (110,985) by TJ from Norway I agree with you, but then again I often do. I love Open Arms. (Sunday 7 September 2025; 09:26) this is a reply to message 110,973

Daydream (110,973) by MusicfanJ from Germany But "Long ago" sounds more urban than "Slipping away". Anyway I think "Daydream" is pure perfection as it is. But it's interesting that "Open arms" seems to be a less favourite here. For me it's one of her best covers. It's on the top 5 for sure. (Saturday 6 September 2025; 15:02)
