About MusicfanJ from Germany: I'm a fan of Mariah since Daydream came out.

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,072) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right. I didn't think of that. Does anyone know if it will be a smaller venue or a bigger one? I'm still surprised that she's doing another concert in February. (Friday 24 October 2025; 10:27) this is a reply to message 112,060

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,060) by Lara from Middle East UAE has mostly expats. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 19:13)

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Middle east"? The Asia concerts made sense because of her huge fan base there. But middle east, I highly doubt there's a huge fan-base. Hmm, a bit strange indeed. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 18:13) this is a reply to message 112,055

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,055) by T from USA Mariah already has a new concert booked in the middle east for early February next year. I don't understand, does she need the money that bad? Or is her so called team going to run her into the ground like Amy Winehouse? Either way, the lamb followers are going to make excuses and call it a "one off" or "just for the fans" but the truth is these enablers are going to end up killing her.

Which song would've you picked? (112,056) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always thought Mariah should write and sing a NYC themed song. Like the "Empire State of Mind". Just for fun, imagine a Sinatra cover from New York, New York. I remember a little clip from a restaurant in Italy where she sung some parts of this famous song in 2003 or 2004.

Which song would've you picked? (112,038) by Lambi from USA Felt like the wrong choice but I guess Mariah really is "New York" as JD said. She is hip-hop. From this data, not counting the 3 singles just to even out the playing field (they were out longer and had better launchpads), lambs daily streamed In Your Feelings and Mi the most. Lighty said NII could've been this album's TTR and I agree, not sure if Mariah will go with a ballad as the launching single ever again but I still hope she does something special with it. Countries like Brazil and Philippines love ballads and this was a solid one. But out of the 3 singles, I felt Sugar Sweet was the strongest. It's the better melody. It would've been awkward launching an album with 2 other ladies so I see why she didn't pick that. It's actually quite a dilemma picking the first single, maybe I'll come back and change my answer.

Hi Lambily (112,054) by MusicfanJ from Germany Please post more. I also love to read about meetings from fans/lambs with Mariah. I allready enjoyed your post. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 15:00) this is a reply to message 112,033

Hi Lambily (112,033) by Gabrielle Demetriou from UK I wanted to share something that's lived in my heart for years - the day I met Mariah Carey in Manchester on March 18, 2016. I was heavily pregnant at the time, and what unfolded that evening has stayed with me ever since. Mariah was radiant - regal and real - surrounded by warmth, laughter, and that unmistakable glow that only she has. When she turned to me and asked about me, it was one of those rare, human moments that you never forget. I wrote a reflection called "Here For It All" - a personal piece about that meeting, how her music has shaped my life across generations, and what it means to me as a mother to pass that love on to my daughters. Mariah's music has been the golden thread through my life - in joy, heartbreak, and everything in between. She's been my comfort and my courage, and writing this felt like a love letter to the woman whose songs have always been there. Please comment whether you'd like to see the unpublished story. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 19:19)

Which song would've you picked? (112,051) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "I Won't Allow It". One of my favourites from the album. Such a cool, fun song. When you think the song ends and then Mariah huh, and the song continues. So fresh. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 11:36) this is a reply to message 112,042

Which song would've you picked? (112,042) by Anonymous from USA I Won't Allow It probably has the most potential. It's fun. It's dance. It's silly. It's relatable. There's so many good songs but the lead single should be a fun uptempo. Just my two cents. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 23:57)

Immobile on stage (112,050) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it makes sense. I just hope she's not overworking again. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 11:18) this is a reply to message 112,044

Immobile on stage (112,044) by Lambi from USA I think that because Mariah grew up dirt poor, moving around 13 times and vividly remembering being kicked out of homes by Patricia's various boyfriends, those unstable experiences during her critical formative years likely shaped her brain development and sense of security. It makes sense that she now fully embraces the stability and comfort that come with a wealthy lifestyle. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 02:01)

Which song would've you picked? (112,031) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, Nothing is Impossible would be the one song. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 17:42) this is a reply to message 112,027

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)

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. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 13:00)

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)

Wait, seriously? Nothing for Daydream30? (111,942) by MusicfanJ from Germany I read it in an interview a few weeks ago. I have to search the article and will share it, if I find it. Besides Music Box it's her best selling album, isn't it? So I'm not surprised, because she loved the immense success. (Friday 17 October 2025; 11:23) this is a reply to message 111,920

Wait, seriously? Nothing for Daydream30? (111,920) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States When did Mariah say Daydream was her best work? I'd love to check that out for myself. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 17:45)

Here For It All (111,915) by MusicfanJ from Germany I buy music (cd's, mp3s). But mostly cd's. I know I'm retro, but I love to collect music and movies. I need something which I can look at and collect. It's like a treasure of art. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 10:30) this is a reply to message 111,911

Here For It All (111,911) by Philipp from Switzerland But isn't the chart system a fair representation of how we consume music? I don't know anyone who actually buys music, everyone just streams it, including me. I only buy Mariah's music. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 08:21)

Someones ugly daughter (111,914) by MusicfanJ from Germany This album with Mariah's voice would be the "cherry on the cake". It would sound so good. She needs to release it, no matter how. I just checked the songs a week ago on YouTube and also thought it needs to be heard with her voice. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 10:20) this is a reply to message 111,897

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)

Wait, seriously? Nothing for Daydream30? (111,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would spend too. I became a fan because of Daydream so I really need an anniversary edition. Mariah said in a latest interview, she thinks it's her best work. So there must be something "new" for the fans to celebrate. I hope so. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 10:13) this is a reply to message 111,896

Wait, seriously? Nothing for Daydream30? (111,896) by Tevin from USA I would spend so much money on Daydream anniversary stuff it wouldn't even be funny. Lol. This was the anniversary that I was looking forward to the most and now it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 20:34)

Hostage release Nothing Is Impossible (111,881) by MusicfanJ from Germany The video shouldn't be used for international politics. Not for any side of the crisis spot (with religion and horror). It doesn't suit. It's a personal Mariah song and should show Mariah or like in the "Trough the Rain" video some actors with a nice little story about a part of her life. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 10:19) this is a reply to message 111,862

Hostage release Nothing Is Impossible (111,862) by Geronimo from USA That would be utterly ridiculous - although, I am afraid Mariah would probably go for it with her ahistorical self. The better video for Nothing is Impossible would show the indigenous people returning to their home despite an international effort to remove them from the face of the planet and give their land to genocidal settlers. (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 19:36)

Some random idea (111,851) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. Great post. "The difference is Mariah doesn't respect JLo's talent." What talent, to look good? Lol. Mariah will never ever work with J.Lo. Not for a movie and not for music. She really can't stand her for many reasons which I totally understand. And yes, after Tommy the media problems began. Most people didn't like her "new image". (Monday 13 October 2025; 20:15) this is a reply to message 111,842

Some random idea (111,842) by T from USA Mariah and Whitney became friends once they were finally locked in a room together and got to know each other. The difference is Mariah doesn't respect JLo's talent. And she's probably a little jealous of what she's achieved by having good PR and management teams. Where Mariah always perceives herself as having a rough time with the media, JLo is somewhat a media darling. Mariah should realize she had it pretty easy out there during the Tommy years because he shielded her from scrutiny. Mariah's media problems really started after she left the safety net that was Tommy. (Monday 13 October 2025; 15:16)

Thoughts (111,811) by MusicfanJ from Germany To be relaxed with a "magic brownie" means nothing and isn't a good idea. Real relaxation need no drugs. A coffee, a tea or a juice is a better and healthier thing. A glass of wine is also okay (not too often), but only if the person doesn't. take medecine. I don't want to see Mariah in Jamaica with weed. Free time, going to the nature is good to relax. Shopping isn't needed too. (Saturday 11 October 2025; 12:38) this is a reply to message 111,805

Thoughts (111,805) by Dove from United States Oof. Maybe I'm just in a negative mood right now. I try to see the bright side of things but right now I can only see the negative. Every time we saw Mariah these past few months she looked like she was not fully present. She looks tired and stiff. Like she's suffering with a medical condition. If she is, and she was transparent about it, maybe people who have more compassion. (Not everyone, some people are just assholes no matter the circumstance.) To me the best song on HFIA is HFIA. That's the one I would have chosen for the radio. (I know I said before I wanted an upbeat song but I hadn't heard HFIA yet.) If Sugar Sweet was chosen because it is easier to sing, she could still sing that one for promotional performances. It's still a new song. She could say she can only sing HFIA when she's having a good voice day. We would all understand that. Music videos need to be more not boring. Glamour shots are nice but for 3 minutes? Plus, Mariah doesn't look real in her music videos. It's like getting a Barbie on a stand and shooting her from different angles. We all know you're hot Mariah. Might as well make AI ones with a video game version of her. It would probably be more fun to watch. There are good songs on HFIA but I don't think any performance or appearances are going to help right now. Not even videos if they're boring. She's not the best promotional vehicle right now. The people who were going to buy the album already did. What I think she should do is go to Jamaica (or somewhere humid and tropical where the climate will help her sound her best) with her friends for a few months, eat some cosmic brownies, and record a bunch of cover songs. Maybe that will inspire her to write some new songs. They can take a bunch of videos and use that footage to make videos. When she's relaxed. I don't use drugs and usually I don't endorse them but Mariah in Jamaica in 2015 was the most relaxed and vocally free I've ever seen her. (Saturday 11 October 2025; 03:27)

It will be a hit (111,810) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree, "Nothing is Impossible" has the most potential for a hit from the album. It would suit perfect for the November/December mood. (Saturday 11 October 2025; 12:25) this is a reply to message 111,799

It will be a hit (111,799) by Tevin from USA Whether a hit comes from HFIA or not, I'm happy with the body of work that Mariah has produced. I will say however that her best chance on getting a hit would be to release Nothing is Impossible as a single. Perform 3 or 4 stripped back performances on popular shows, simple outfit, piano, guitar and or string instruments, (she can even cut out most of the last set of belts and go right into the descending whistle, to make it easier on her voice). Then she can do a few interviews about the meaning of the song and how she hopes it will inspire and relate to others. That's what people want, especially the younger generation, they want relatability. I've noticed that it may have not been everyone's number one song, but every reaction video or person that I spoke with in person, all said that NII hit them right in the heart and spoke to them. This is also the time of year where most people are thinking about family, friends and goals, so a song like that would be perfect. Her team can even pair it with AIWFC, where after that song plays, it starts playing NII. That would connect millions of people to that song that may not have heard it. Also, for any doubters, this is possible to do. With the fallout from Drake and Kendrick beef, it's been shown that Spotify and Apple and other platforms would play there songs back to back to boost streams. I don't know if it would take Gamma a bunch of money to set that up, but with the millions of streams AIWFC gets every year, even if half of them tune in a couple times to NII, Mariah would definitely have a hit on her hands, and rightfully so. Bobby A, anyone know how to get this idea to Mariah's team? Lol. (Friday 10 October 2025; 20:58)

The problem with every lamb - HFIA charts (111,795) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't expect chart success anymore. I'm very happy with the album. It has everything that was missing on "Caution". I also believe Mariah is wanting another number one or at least a hit. But that won't happen with "In your feelings" or other retro soul songs. I would be very surprised if I'm wrong. The charts are nowadays so bad. Gone are the days where the top ten had at least eight fantastic songs. If I should choose another number one (trendy but less quality) or real songs with instruments, real melody but not a hit, I would choose the second. I also believe all the people who bought the album digital or on CD are not the youngsters who "decide" who's on the charts. They were her long-time fans and grown-up music lovers who are happy that there is another Mariah Carey album, that really sounds like one. I enjoy the album so much.

The problem with every lamb - HFIA charts (111,792) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I couldn't have said it better because that's my thought process too. Do I think Mariah will get another #1 just by herself? Possibly not if I'm setting realistic expectation. Is it possible via a hot collaboration? Very possible. But lambs can't be blamed for expecting chart success when Mariah herself keeps reminding everyone about her #1s and like you said very recently Gamma talked about their joint ambition to surpass The Beatles. They didn't just make that statement without Mariah's approval. Which means she is as chart hungry as the lambs are. (Friday 10 October 2025; 15:06)

Thoughts on the marketing theme for HFIA album (111,776) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought all the diamonds should show that she's the ultimate diva and that she likes it. Any other thoughts? (Thursday 9 October 2025; 10:52) this is a reply to message 111,774

Thoughts on the marketing theme for HFIA album (111,774) by T from USA I noticed the CD insert booklet has a theme of diamonds on every page. She's also wearing a giant diamond on the cover and the CD itself showcases her diamond butterfly ring. Was this a purposely chosen theme or is this just a case of not having a strong idea so diamonds are a girls best friend? Butterfly had the theme of butterflies on the album artwork, Rainbow had rainbows. Could she possible mean she's here for it all the diamonds? (Thursday 9 October 2025; 03:56)

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,756) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think I know what you mean, but the "fun" can fastly return to a nightmare again. It's better to be alone than with a cheater. But of course it's Mariah's private life. But I still think her taste of men/partners are often a bad choice. I don't believe this "bad b." thing at all. She's lonely just like Marilyn Monroe was most of her life. A player will only comfort for a while. Mariah deserves better. (Tuesday 7 October 2025; 13:47) this is a reply to message 111,738

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,738) by Edward from USA Mariah's probably been with as many men as she has fingers and toes combined, but some folks still insist on treating her like a 14-year old damsel in distress who needs rescuing. Meanwhile, she's a grown, mega-successful, rich, and ridiculously intelligent woman raising teenagers and living her best life. No one trying to "save" little Miss Carey from some evil men could ever walk a mile in her heels, let alone survive her schedule. Would it be nice if she found a great man to share life with? Sure. But let's not act like she's lost without one. The woman knows exactly what she's doing. When she says, "I'm a bad bitch, but I'm good company," I believe her. The love of her life, whose name we shouldn't mention, has said a thousand times that Mariah is always in control. At this point, she's earned the right to enjoy some great, no-strings attached, uncomplicated fun between the sheets with whomever she pleases to share her Carey with. She's Mariah effing Carey, she's paid her dues and her taxes. (Monday 6 October 2025; 17:50)

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,733) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ah okay. I also don't trust him at all. As I said before in one post, I was hoping they are just doing music. But then the rumours started, it could be more. Mariah has had enough sorrow in private life. Another cheating man would be the worst. I so wish she would meet at true soul, not another "artist" and playboy. (Monday 6 October 2025; 10:41) this is a reply to message 111,729

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,729) by Mimi from UK Anderson .Paak. He is a serial cheater and he cheated on his ex wife. One of his sidechicks confirmed Mariah and him were together before they made it official and said he has cheated on Mariah several times. Poor Mariah. This man is a total ho and even admits in his music he's a cheater. I wish could give Mariah a heads up, because he's using her. (Sunday 5 October 2025; 23:29)

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,725) by MusicfanJ from Germany Who do you think is betraying? (Sunday 5 October 2025; 17:26) this is a reply to message 111,720

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,720) by Mimi from UK I want to warn Mariah about someone in her life that I'm pretty certain is betraying her, but I don't want to break her heart. Should I stay out of it or warn Mariah, before she's in too deep? (Sunday 5 October 2025; 09:23)

I Won't Allow It (111,659) by MusicfanJ from Germany He can be lucky to be tolerated. That selfish clown who really brought the drama is only embarassing. "Poor" kids with such a father. A divorce can happen to everybody, but this man is truly a narcissist, no woman with a brain and self-respect could endure him. I hope Mariah stays away from him as far as possible. I can imagine what she now really thinks of him. So it's better not talk about it with the media. (Thursday 2 October 2025; 12:39) this is a reply to message 111,655

I Won't Allow It (111,655) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Something must have recently gone down between Nick and Mariah because Mariah flatly refused to talk about co-parenting with Nick and honestly I don't blame her because he brings the drama, six baby mamas. But I wonder what happened because even post divorce they were amicable for the kids and now it's like she just tolerates him. Makes sense he has gotten progressively more annoying and her kids are now a bit older so she probably doesn't feel the need to put on a show with Nick. (Thursday 2 October 2025; 03:57)

HFIA (111,626) by MusicfanJ from Germany It will easily outlast "Caution". With HFIA Mariah's has created an album that really feels like the good old days. Music without too many producers, that doesn't need to sound current. It has a timeless sound except for "Mi" and "Confetti and Champagne" which get better and better too with each listen by the way. All songs blend so good together. Mariah surpassed herself with HFIA. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 17:53) this is a reply to message 111,625

HFIA (111,625) by jaker20 from US I've been addicted to the album. There is no skip to this album. HFIA is perfect, I can see why it's the album title. It's 6 and a half minutes yet it still feels short. The first 30 minutes of the song is a masterpiece, the cry in Mariah's voice it sounds like no one. Another great addition to Mariah's discography. I think this album will eventually outlast Caution. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 17:07)

Lamb emergency (111,616) by MusicfanJ from Germany Maybe because she's had so many "frogs" in her life? Where is the real prince? Let love take over, sounds like a beautiful song. Sorry, since HFIA I'm on the Mariah rush. I have to watch the live video, if it's so good. It's nice to hear all the postive reactions.

Lamb emergency (111,612) by Bobby A from United States I thought I was going to have to call 911 when she sang the first verse live. I loved the performance. Anderson .Paak is a man in love for sure. Why do I sense MC won't let love take over? (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 11:24)
