About Tevin from USA: A laid back guy that loves Mariah!

It's here (109,072) by Tevin from USA I love this song. Love the lyrics, easy to sing along to, and the best is infectious. This song is giving me justice for Migrate and Prisoner vibes. Also I love the sing sing line Mariah said. I'm so ready for MC16 to drop now. Also, don't hate me for saying this, but this is the first time in a few years that I truly love the sound of Mariah's voice. She sounds great. (Friday 6 June 2025; 06:10)

Migrate over to the radio (109,068) by Tevin from USA In honor of Mariah finally releasing what seems to be another club banger (at least from what the snippet sounds like), I'm going to be blasting Migrate, ILT, Obsessed and Obsessed remix until midnight. (Friday 6 June 2025; 03:34)

Type: Dangerous (109,067) by Tevin from USA Do you know much about this label that Mariah is now on? Hopefully (it looks like it so far), they'll push the promo for the singles and album, if she is one of the only big names on there label.

Type: Dangerous (109,063) by Bobby A from United States Lambs have been crazy all day on X. I haven't seen Lambs this hyped since ILT and TEOM dropped 20 years ago. I have written down several things different about the start of this era. This is not GTFO or I Don't. Something feels different about Type Dangerous to start the new era. 1. MC took her time releasing new music despite pressure from Lambs for 4 years. 2. Anderson .Paak inspired MC in the studio. 3. For the first time ever, MC used a previous album to launch a new album. She was so clever with her date hint that we missed that a new era would be starting on that date. Genius MC. 4. MC took control of launching her new era instead of her new label. We found out three days later that gamma. is her new label from Lambs posting presaving Type Dangerous screenshots. I suspect a gamma. official annoucement will come tomorrow. 5. MC stepped out of her comfort zone for this era by working with new producers, songwriters, artists, and mending an old relationship with Walter A. This era doesn't feel like JD will be involved, but I wouldn't be mad if he had a couple of songs on MC16. However, I don't think we will hear "Y'all know what this is" on MC16. 6. This will be MC's first summer album release since her debut album. Just another reminder of a full circle era is starting tomorrow. (Friday 6 June 2025; 01:31)

Type: Impatient (109,066) by Tevin from USA Agreed. Lol. Life is funny like that sometimes. I'm sure we all still wish Mariah peace, health and happiness. It also doesn't mean that our outsider concerns aren't valid. But for now, let's rest easy and enjoy the return of the recording artist, Mariah Carey. I can't wait to turn up my radio and blast this song and support our girl. (Friday 6 June 2025; 03:21) this is a reply to message 109,059

Type: Impatient (109,059) by Shezz from Pk I love how the board has gone from writing her eulogy to being excited for new music in just a few days. Life is beautiful. Whether we love Type Dangerous tomorrow or not, I hope we all will be happy for all that she's finally putting out there and for a whole album to follow. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 19:26)

Article: Mariah announces "MC16" album coming this summer (109,035) by Tevin from USA I can't wait to hear this album. To think that Mariah may have finally listened to her fans and she is collaborating with new people, producers and singers, while also venturing into new genres. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 04:08) this is a reply to message 109,034

Article: Mariah announces "MC16" album coming this summer (109,034) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow finally a summer album. I’m pumped. It says she worked with Jack Antanoff who is a regular Taylor and Sabrina collaborator. I can’t wait to get more info on the album. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 02:38)

MC16 (108,999) by Tevin from USA I still can't believe I got to be in a live listening session with the Mariah Carey yesterday. Needless to say I was flipping out with excitement in my office at work lol. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 17:15) this is a reply to message 108,992

MC16 (108,992) by Bobby A from United States Stacey, I didn't have any side dishes ready, but I do have some tea today. Type: Dangerous samples Eric B. Is President and possibly Dennis Edward's Don't Look Any Further. I suspect that Anderson .Paak produced T:D because he loves to use 70s and 80s samples. MC said at her Mimi anniversary Spotify listening party yesterday that "We will know a whole lot of things on June 6th." She is one of the Ultimate Icon honorees at the BET Awards on June 9th. Also, she will be performing as well. It is going around on the web that MC has signed a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. Finally, Kristofer Buckle replied to a fan yesterday on his Instagram account about MC16 and he said, "It's worth the wait." I guess Anderson .Paak probably said to MC let's create some new music and get your album completed. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 10:56)

MC16 (108,984) by Tevin from USA Thank you for the kind words. Keep posting too. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on the new singles and album roll out for MC16. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 06:49) this is a reply to message 108,976

MC16 (108,976) by Bobby A from United States Tevin, you are a wonderful Lamb. Apologies accepted. Thank you. I enjoy your posts as always. I am so excited today that new music is on the way. Is WYT the follow-up to ILT? Anyway, maybe my dysgraphia will get under control now. I have been messing up my posts with a lot of grammar errors lately. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25)

MC16 (108,966) by Tevin from USA I want to publicly apologize to Bobby A, for doubting that MC16 was coming. Your optimism paid off, looks like a new era is about to start. (Monday 2 June 2025; 18:44)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,960) by Tevin from USA That's a great take on those albums. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:25) this is a reply to message 108,933

Music Box vs Daydream (108,933) by Edward from USA Lyrically, I prefer Daydream, but vocally, Music Box reigns supreme in my book. While her voice on Daydream was like pure butter, smooth, nuanced, and mature, on Music Box, it was fuller, more powerful and with a richness difficult to match. Mariah Carey, Music Box, and Merry Christmas are the only albums where Mariah came closest to matching Whitney’s level of resonance and vocal power. Daydream still featured incredible vocals, strong, expressive, and technically refined, but it leaned more into buttery tone and artistic subtlety rather than sheer vocal force. As an overall body of work, Daydream was more mature and creatively sophisticated than Music Box, but vocally, Music Box was a powerhouse. As much as I love myself some Music Box, Daydream is the better album in my humble opinion. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:10)

The simplest explanation is the best explanation (108,959) by Tevin from USA Honestly, I wish she would get back into writing for others. Nobody can touch her pen game. Nobody. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:16) this is a reply to message 108,932

The simplest explanation is the best explanation (108,932) by Lambi from USA I actually believe the human singing voice is perfected through Mariah. She can quite literally do everything and more. God was like: "She's just gonna sound out of this world, in every register, and her songwriting will blow everyone out of the water, oh and I'll put her in charge of my holiday." Her voice is a literal gift from the heavens above but it also came with a bit of a curse. Mariah has nodules. Her ability to whistle eventually worsened her nodules. Her voice was the money maker, because she was poor and is deeply afraid of the rug being pulled from under her. She worked her voice to the extremes. Songwriting also happen to make bank in royalties so she went crazy hard on that too. She simply overworked her gifts. End end. These nose jobs and alcoholism theories sound so elementary. No other singer will have a similar decline diagnoses because Mariah is simply built different. A cut above the rest. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 00:33)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,958) by Tevin from USA Also, add to the fact that when she was forced to stop drinking (while she was pregnant), her tone and clarity improved to a point that I would dare say, we haven't heard since Glitter. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:14) this is a reply to message 108,927

Nasty, nasty comment (108,927) by Edward from USA If you're going to be a "Yass Queen", at least own it with pride. Facts don't care about your feelings, they remain facts, whether you like them or not. And clearly, for some of you, the truth is like kryptonite. It's well documented that Mariah Carey indulged in heavy drinking, especially around the time leading up to the release of Butterfly. Her voice was never quite the same afterward. She's been drunk in public many times, so it's not like she had a secret. While it may not have been his place to speak on it, even her brother mentioned that she was drinking while on her bipolar meds. Eminem, in his track The Warning, didn't hold back either, outright calling her an alcoholic. Say what you want, but the receipts have been there for a long time. And as much as I love Mariah, with the state of her voice today, she wouldn't even make it to audition in front of the judges on American Idol. Her voice is completely shot. But of course, in La La Land, she's still "slaying". Reality, however, paints a very different picture. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 17:22)

Happy anniversary (108,930) by Tevin from USA TJ, Music Box is a great album also. It's even better with the anniversary deluxe edition, but, Daydream is still peak Mariah. I feel like it perfectly blends the commercial success and pop appeal of MB and the artistry of Butterfly. It's perfection. Rounding out my top three would be: 2. Butterfly 3.TEOM (Saturday 31 May 2025; 21:07) this is a reply to message 108,919

Happy anniversary (108,919) by TJ from Norway Am I the only one who likes Music Box better than Daydream? (Saturday 31 May 2025; 10:33)

Happy anniversary (108,917) by Tevin from USA Happy anniversary to the album that turned me into a Lamb. Even though Daydream will forever be the best album Mariah has ever created, TEOM holds a very special place in my heart. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 05:18)

Is there any other singer? (108,906) by Tevin from USA I was wondering, other than normal age, wear and tear on a voice. Do you all know of any other singer, who's voice pretty much changed with each album, like Mariah's did? Not including child singers like MJ when he first started, since their voices change with age. (Friday 30 May 2025; 17:39)

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,905) by Tevin from USA I thought the changes that took place during Daydream era, was more of a stylistic choice rather than any vocal changes or issues. Plus didn't she start lowering the keys of most of her songs that era, in order to be able to hit crazier and more dramatic high notes? (Friday 30 May 2025; 17:34) this is a reply to message 108,899

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,899) by Bill from the UK I'm surprised more people don't notice the difference from Merry Christmas to Daydream vocally. Most sight Butterfly as when he voice began to decline and change, but for me Daydream was the beginning of the end. It was just masked by good songs, good production, and confidence on the stage when performing. Main call-outs for you all to review is that her melisma became disjointed, most noticeable on songs like I Am Free. She breaks it up rather than just singing straight through the melody like she did on all her albums beforehand. Then all the body from her voice went too, best displayed by When I Saw You and Long Ago. She still sounds great but there was a very noticeable shift at this point. As this was before her alcoholism then the nose job would be the most likely cause for the change. (Friday 30 May 2025; 08:28)

Obviously medicated (108,848) by Tevin from USA I agree. Though we will never know what's truly going on with MC, until she speaks out about it, I too am worried. Hopefully it's just a side effect of meds that will eventually wear off or she can changes dosages or meds (I'm no doctor). I remember when two close friends of mine had to go on meds for bipolar, when they were in them, they were completely different people. They acted much like this, drowsy, out of it, in a daze, not all there. Mariah we love you. (Friday 23 May 2025; 22:07) this is a reply to message 108,845

Obviously medicated (108,845) by Carlos from Brazil I think it's really safe to say that she is using medication. I used to take some anti depression remedies and it really kinda "takes your soul out". It's necessary for the case, in terms of "you need it to get better" to a certain point and then maybe reduce or get rid of it when you get well but it really lets you on a deplorable state. You just go through life and the emotions like it's nothing. Mariah's last answer to the reporter when asked about what a popstar like Katy has to do when you get hate or something really tells it all. She said "don't pay attention and move on". I think she hasn't really stopped and thought about her situation: her voice, the lost of her family. It's like she just thinks "let's move on" and then she just goes through life.

Mariah and Barbara [sic] (108,639) by Tevin from USA I can't wait to hear the song that they did together. (Wednesday 30 April 2025; 22:02)

MC16 (108,610) by Tevin from USA At this rate, I don't even know if we will get a Rarities 2. (Friday 25 April 2025; 19:53) this is a reply to message 108,607

MC16 (108,607) by Bobby A from United States I know that I am beating a dead horse. Will we ever get MC16 in our hands? Today I just think it we will never get MC16. (Thursday 24 April 2025; 00:50)

MIMI 20 incomplete (108,552) by Tevin from USA Let me start off on a positive note, I'm glad Mariah is doing something to celebrate the anniversary of this amazing album. As much as I loved Mariah growing up, this album truly made me a huge fan of hers. Now with that being said, I'm going to need Mariah to reach into that vault and find a hidden demo or track from that album. Lol. I'm excited to hear the a capella version of Circles, but other than that, everything else is just remixes. Many of them have been released or leaked years ago. I was really hoping for something new. But who knows, maybe she'll have more surprises coming. Anyone know the code for Pepsi Headquarters vault? We need those ringtones released. (Friday 11 April 2025; 16:39)

(108,547) by Tevin from USA I waited to midnight and her website just crashed. I need to go to sleep. What did she release? (Friday 11 April 2025; 06:02)

My one TEOM track is (108,537) by Tevin from USA I always considered it to be an updated version of [Breakdown]. (Wednesday 9 April 2025; 15:35) this is a reply to message 108,534

My one TEOM track is (108,534) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "One and only" too. RnB meets Hip Hop at its best. Such a relaxed, cool song. (Wednesday 9 April 2025; 12:44)

You have to get rid of one (108,473) by Tevin from USA I would save EFA and TTEOT. Vanishing is amazing though. Especially the live Music Box tour performance of it. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 19:47) this is a reply to message 108,460

You have to get rid of one (108,460) by RadChad from United States Wow this was very difficult, but if I had to chose, it'd be "Everything Fades Away" because Till The End Of Time and Vanishing aren't going anywhere ever. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 01:38)

You have to get rid of one (108,467) by Tevin from USA Haha. True. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 15:08) this is a reply to message 108,458

You have to get rid of one (108,458) by Edward from USA How dare you. That would be sacrilege. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 01:09)

You have to get rid of one (108,447) by Tevin from USA Two of these three songs has to disappear from history. Which song are you saving? Till the end of time Everything fades away Vanishing (no pun intended) (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 20:34)

Ribbon (108,440) by Tevin from USA Bye Bye is nice. I love that song. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 14:04) this is a reply to message 108,436

Ribbon (108,436) by Randy from USA I disagree about E=MC2 not being a vocal high, especially Thanx4Nothing, I love that octave change and sustained note at the end. You can't tell me I can't sing when I'm belting that out. And of course, y'all are tired of me saying it, but the final chorus and ad libs of y'all least favorite single Bye Bye are legendary to me. I will give you 5 points for Mine Again which is beautiful. (Wednesday 26 March 2025; 00:59)
