About Giovanni from USA: Big music lover who loves Mimi.

I stay in love (110,558) by Giovanni from USA Is one of my favorite Mariah songs and deserved better. I don't know why it wasn't promoted more and why there is like one live performance of the song. I believe it could have charted higher and been a hit if it had more promo. "We belong together" is a great song and legendary in terms of success, but I like "I stay in love" more. Justice for "I stay in love". (Sunday 17 August 2025; 22:39)

Stop making excuses (110,557) by Giovanni from USA We already know Mariah is older and has nodules that is no excuse for not being able to sing live. Mariah's problem is that she damaged her voice with drinking and she does not get enough rest. This isn't a disrespect to Mariah because I love her to death and she remains the best singing voice I've heard but too many people I know always point out the nodules instead of Mariah's love for champagne. Alcohol dries out the vocal chords and causes inflammation in the voice. I truly believe that's why MC sounds very horse when she speaks. (Sunday 17 August 2025; 22:23)

Alan Carr (110,556) by Giovanni from USA Sorry but that interview is very uncomfortable to watch and it's not because of Mariah. Alan plays around way too much and really annoyed me. He needs to learn how to respect Mariah and other artists if he wants interviews. It was really cringe to look at and what's the worst part of the interview is that he did not ask more questions about the album. (Sunday 17 August 2025; 22:08)

Doja Cat (110,554) by Giovanni from USA Mariah can collaborate with who she wants but I think it would help if she choose artists who are known and who are current. I used to dream of a Sam Smith collaboration but after his recent transformation I was over it. I still like him but he's obviously going through something. I could really hear a ballad type song with him and Mariah. John Legend is another artist who at the moment is not relevant but sings well with Mariah. I remember in an interview Mariah said she would work with anyone to make music. (Sunday 17 August 2025; 21:58) this is a reply to message 110,520

Doja Cat (110,520) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I get that but it's so clear that she never met these 2 artists before because from the "behind the scenes" video we could see they're meeting for the first time when shooting the promo clip. I would think a songwriter like Mariah would at least want to be more acquainted with whoever she chooses to collaborate with because she's so picky with who she works with. She keeps picking random artists. (Saturday 16 August 2025; 00:31)

2013 Mariah (110,553) by Giovanni from USA I would also mention the dress she wore at the Grammys, Mariah looked like a million dollar Barbie. I even loved how she styled her hair. I like the make up she used in 2013. These new stylists she hired are not doing her any justice and I would agree that she definitely has a social media problem. Her X account is still stuck at 21 million which is sad. I honestly thought her team would have done something especially with a new album about to be released.

2013 Mariah (110,509) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree about the 2013 fashion. Her looks were on point. The American Idol era had her taking risks. Her hair and glam was on point. Her recent looks don't do justice to how incredible she looks now. The only recent ensemble I really liked was the gold moment at the BETs performance. She needs a new team of stylist and publicist and especially a social media team. Her social media needs some serious work. (Friday 15 August 2025; 15:43)

Doja Cat (110,502) by Giovanni from USA This is why if Mariah wants to stay relevant she needs to one make sure her music is good and second collaborate with current artists like Doja Cat or Bruno Mars. A lot of people don't know who Kehlani or Shenseea is, I never heard of either them until "Sugar sweet" was released. I'm glad she did a song with Anderson .Paak but we really need a collab with a known female artist. (Friday 15 August 2025; 06:24)

2013 Mariah (110,501) by Giovanni from USA I don't know about ya'll but I miss 2013 Mariah. She looked so young and fresh and her ensembles were on point. She needs to go back with stylist Johnny Wujek because Dior Sovoa is not it, he needs to be fired asap. Johnny actually knows how to dress a woman. I also loved the short milf cut she had when she performed at that charity concert in NY when she was wearing that sling for her arm. Never been a fan of the long hair. Am I being silly or do some of ya'll agree? I'm curious what Mimi L has to say. (Friday 15 August 2025; 06:18)

Sugar Sweet (110,480) by Giovanni from USA Two problems with "Sugar sweet". It should have been a solo or just have been with Shenseea or with Ariana. Second no video. "Sugar sweet" had the potential to be better had Mariah gotten another verse in the song. I really thought hearing the snippet that it was gonna be another "Touch my body" lol. I was wrong. At this point all we can hope for is a good album. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 06:31)

Mariah's voice (110,452) by Giovanni from USA We all know Mariah's voice is not what it used to be but there's still a voice there. She sounds amazing when rested and with jazz and Christmas music. What has always bothered me about the situation is that Mariah hardly ever talks about the problems with her voice. Nodules, vocal damage etc. I really think she and many others like Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys have vocal damage. Mariah might have damaged her voice by not resting her voice enough and with drinking. Mariah can do what she wants but I would always shake my head when she would have a glass of champagne in her hand because why would you destroy the gift God gave you. I'm not judging her I'm just telling it like it is. I think at this point all she can do is rest properly, stop drinking and get a vocal coach if she hasn't already. I love MC and want the best for her and her career. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:27)

Here For It / Camouflage (110,451) by Giovanni from USA Sounds like a very emotional song. I love when Mariah does piano ballad type songs. I think "Camouflage" is one of her best songs that she doesn't get enough credit for. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:06)

Save the day for Edward (110,450) by Giovanni from USA Tonight I must have played "Save the day" 4 or 5 times even doing Mariah's hand movements. I don't care what anyone says, I love the song. So "come on", "come on". (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 06:03)

Grammys (110,426) by Giovanni from USA I know some of you may not care for Mariah to snag any more Grammys but I do. I will never get over how U2 won album of the year in 2006. We all know "The Emancipation Of Mimi" was a much better and bigger album. I felt Mariah really deserved that one. Also not to hate on Beyonce because I love her but it's ridiculous how she has so many over Mariah. "Drunk in love" is a garbage song yet won a Grammy. I know Mimi has one or two gospel songs on the new album, one with The Clark Sisters. If it's as good as J Valentine says it is maybe Mariah will be nominated for best gospel song/performance and snag a Grammy. (Monday 11 August 2025; 21:08)

Sugar Sweet video (110,423) by Giovanni from USA So when are we getting the video? (Monday 11 August 2025; 20:39)

Bryan Tanaka (110,422) by Giovanni from USA I don't know about y'all but I miss seeing Bryan. I think he and Mariah made such a nice looking couple. He's so handsome and has a nice smile and nice personality. I know he wanted a family but Mariah really looked happy with him. (Monday 11 August 2025; 20:35)

Save the day (110,385) by Giovanni from USA I love "Save the day" and I think it was going to be the last song on "The art of letting go" if I'm not mistaken. I would like MC to keep her album titles short. I hated "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" and "Me I am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse". I would have simply went with "Imperfect" and "The Elusive Chanteuse". "Here for it all" is fine and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Everyone on my X account seems most excited for the collab with Anderson .Paak. (Saturday 9 August 2025; 02:40)

Save the Day (110,376) by Giovanni from USA I'm curious if any of you still listen to this song? I love when Mariah writes with James Wright and I hope we get some more songs with JD. "Save the Day" is classic MC. (Friday 8 August 2025; 03:31)

Type Dangerous jazz version (110,375) by Giovanni from USA I was just wondering if anyone else could hear a jazz version of "Type Dangerous"? It would definitely work and I so just MC would do some jazz tracks in the future. When I heard "Lullaby of Birdland" it left me wanting a jazz album. I know a lot of fans have been wanting a jazz or gospel album. I love gospel so I'm excited to hear the gospel song on "Here for it all". (Friday 8 August 2025; 03:24)

Sugar Sweet (110,210) by Giovanni from USA I agree Jamie. I also wish we had more of Mariah singing the song. A solo version would have been much better. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 23:44) this is a reply to message 110,209

Sugar Sweet (110,209) by Jamie from UK I've been listening to it today, I really wish she had also sung the 2nd verse, it's a catchy song but I don't think there's enough Mariah on it. When I heard the clips before its release I was excited but I actually think I prefer TD especially the soul of the people remix. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 23:29)

When Christmas comes (110,107) by Giovanni from USA I know we're far from Christmas but when I'm asked what is my favorite Mariah Carey song I wanna say "Someday" or "Love takes time" but call me crazy it has to be "When Christmas comes". And it doesn't have to be Christmas for you to play this song. Mariah really out did herself with this one. The music, the lyrics, her voice. If she had made it into a love song it would have likely been a hit. The Emancipation Of Mimi Mariah is singing in that song. I mean she is really showing off that 5 octave range and belting so strong. I so wish Mariah never got into champagne because I feel it damaged her voice tremendously and holds her back vocally. I know she has vocal nodules but she would sound better if she stayed away from the drinking. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 05:36)

Sugar Sweet (110,106) by Giovanni from USA Such a vibe and super catchy. The song sounds like what's current right now. I can hear Ariana or Ciara singing this song. My only complain is that I wish it was a solo. When it comes to Mariah I really don't want or need to hear anybody else. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 05:19)

Sugar Sweet (110,013) by Giovanni from USA I also saw that recently and agree with you Edward. I didn't like it at all. It's a thumbs down for me if that was the song but it's AI. There's also a song from AI that's called "I don't know her" and it's hilarious. AI nailed Mariah's whistles in the song. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 20:41) this is a reply to message 110,000

Sugar Sweet (110,000) by Edward from USA I almost had a heart attack, I thought this was real, but it really sounds like her. I hope hers is better than this. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 14:43)

Mental state (109,978) by Giovanni from USA Silly Adam, this will not be Mariah's last era of music. She just signed a multi deal with Gamma. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 06:06) this is a reply to message 109,971

Mental state (109,971) by ADAM from USA I'm also highly curious what the album rollout interviews will look like. I think she has some sort of mental tick. She has not shared with the public, but I think she's had some sort of a stroke or physical laps that makes her unable to answer things in depth or recall easily. Anytime we have seen her when she answered something. It's all premeditated and not natural. I wish you just come clean and therefore you'd have the sympathy of the public and also some truth with your fan base instead of this plastic veneer and all these can terrible answers to questions that we don't care about. I think she's such an interesting figure and has so many stories that she could talk about But she is so guarded and not truthful. I really want the best for her as I feel like this is her last era of music. Hoping for the best - btw I'm obsessed with Sugar Sweet using AfroBeats it's such an ear worm of a jingle and will sound great blasting from anyone's speakers. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 02:05)

New albums era (109,936) by Giovanni from USA I heard Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez will also be releasing albums this year and I for one am sick of Taylor Swift. Hopefully no one stands in our way for Mariah to get herself a hit song. I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of excitement on social media for this new album with the fans. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:11)

Here for it all (109,935) by Giovanni from USA Very interesting album title. I could care less about the album cover, I care about the music. I hope this album is successful and MC can get herself another number one to her name. "Sugar sweet" has a vibe and is catchy, I already like it so I'm ready. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:05)

Sugar Sweet (109,840) by Giovanni from USA From what I heard I like it. And yes it reminds me of "TMB" but better. I hated "TMB" but it went to number one so there's that. I also hope for a decent album cover and name. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 02:42) this is a reply to message 109,826

Sugar Sweet (109,826) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so snippet is out. Next single is Sugar Sweet. Seems very easy breezy sexy kinda vibe like TMB which is a song I love. The snippet hasn't instantly hooked me but neither did the snippet for TDang but I grew to like that. What does everyone think? By the way she looks like a literal Barbie. I can't wait for cover art and I think we'll get simultaneous album name reveal. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 18:14)
