Angels Advocate (105,827) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya at this point they already have it, might as well just release it. I do enjoy some of the leaked collaborations and would like to see what the others sound like. (Friday 1 March 2024; 15:23) this is a reply to message 105,826

Angels Advocate (105,826) by Libra Lamb from USA This whole album was yet another missed opportunity. Obsessed was a huge hit. Memoirs remains one of my favorite albums and the Angels Advocate and Smoke Jumpers remix albums were just tossed aside like yesterday's garbage. What a damn shame. I'm still hoping we get official releases at least in streaming. There was music for everyone between all 3 albums. Justice for Memoirs. (Friday 1 March 2024; 14:29)

Angels Advocate (105,823) by RL from USA I still want this officially released. (Friday 1 March 2024; 06:06)

Angels Advocate (105,822) by Robert-Anthony from United States Why didn't L.A. Reid release it? I think it was because he put so much money into that Elle insert that he didn't want another failed MC album release under his leadership. Non-fans were just not feeling Memoirs to justify a remix album. I hope she gives us something in MC16 that will make us happy. (Friday 1 March 2024; 02:33)

Told ya (105,824) by T from USA No, Cardi and Shakira have a new song coming on March 22nd. Cardi's first single for her own album is a solo song. I can't see Mariah releasing anything Cardi related after this high budget Shakira music video drops. That's even if they recorded anything together. Don't believe all the rumors. If we did we would've gotten Mariah with Usher at the halftime show as well. (Friday 1 March 2024; 13:57) this is a reply to message 105,820

Told ya (105,820) by Robert-Anthony from United States Shakira? Really? I would rather JD produced the whole album. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 23:16)

Angels Advocate (105,821) by jaker20 from US Its been 15 years since that was announced. If that album was actually released, that would have been her streaming monster. I'm 100% sure of it. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 23:44)

Told ya (105,819) by T from USA Everyone claiming a Cardi song and just giving up on YAR are in for a big surprise as there is no Cardi B collaboration coming this year. She's releasing a song with Shakira on March 22nd and a solo song as well. We as fans need to focus on the things that actually happen like a collaboration with the biggest streaming artist currently in Ariana Grande. Getting YAR into the top 10 would've done wonders for the song and set Mariah up with something new to perform in Vegas. Something current and relevant. We were so close to that credit, so close to a top 10 for our MC. The remix was Mariah's new song to hold us over until Christmas, but most were too busy looking for the next new song. As for me, I'm going to continue to stream Yes, And remix and enjoy the fact that she was on a current track in 2024. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 22:17)

Cardi (105,818) by jaker20 from US Hey maybe that's a good thing. We'll know when we hear it, if it's worth hopping into lol. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 19:29) this is a reply to message 105,813

Cardi (105,813) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her new song is a solo song. No Mariah. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 04:16)

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,817) by jaker20 from US Surpassing Music Box. Isn't that incredible? Time really is the true test of everything. Mariah has always referred to Music Box whenever she's talking about a time to massive success and sales peaks, but never about Daydream. Listening to whole Daydream album, it really sounds so fresh and it flows perfectly from one song to another. Fantasy alone is one of the most perfect pop songs ever made. It's so timeless.

The age thing (105,816) by Robert-Anthony from United States Haha. I am sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your post. I will be more mindful next time. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 11:00) this is a reply to message 105,814

The age thing (105,814) by Jamie from UK Thanks for that. I have a flight booking of hers from about 2003 which showed her true age from passport. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 10:38)

Cardi (105,815) by Robert-Anthony from United States Maybe we still get a collaboration. This game of waiting on new music is painful. I heard from a record store owner yesterday that Taylor's new album is going to be a huge seller during the sales week because of Record Day on April 20. It is probably best that MC waits until later this year. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 10:57) this is a reply to message 105,813

The age thing (105,812) by Robert-Anthony from United States Oops. The url is bad because I missed a character or number when I typed it. However, if you type in my Google search - Why is there confusion about Mariah Carey's birth year, then scroll down and you will see the link - Mariah's true age is finally proven.

The age thing (105,810) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is why it was changed. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 20:16)

Let's be kind. We didn't know what is upon us (105,811) by Robert-Anthony from United States It doesn't have any tracks like Nice and Slow, Yeah Yeah Yeah, Daddy's Home, Birthday and OMG. It sits right there with his album Here I Stand - in the markdown clearance bin. Bobby Ross Avila and Issiah Avila. The Avila Brothers should have had 5 tracks on the album. I can't believe their hit song GLU didn't make the album tracklist. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,807

The age thing (105,809) by Jamie from UK So I've just noticed that when you do a search for Mariah's age it no longer gives the 1970/1969 debate and just shows her true year of birth being 1969. Wonder why they now decided to come clean after all these years. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 14:03)

Controversial (105,808) by jaker20 from US Her vocals have very little, if any, bearing to her career trajectory now. The public isn't checking her for the vocals in 2024. No current artist is successful for their great vocals. The last one is probably Adele, who by the way has been having so many vocal issues. Obsessed, Touch My Body, that's her most popular songs right now. And maybe that's part of AIWFCIY's longevity because of its playfulness, not necessarily the vocals. I think she was on to something with Caution. Remember, Mariah said she didn't like her vocals in it. But that album received some of the best reviews of her career. But I think the timing was wrong. If that album was released now, it would be a bigger hit. Because the Mariah post 2019, after AIWFCIY first hit no.1, is more popular and beloved than the 2010s Mariah. Unlike most of her contemporaries, everyone even the kids and teens actually know her now. What's lacking is a quick follow-up to sustain that Christmas buzz. It's the era of collabs, and I think she's experimenting on that with the Ariana and the rumored Cardi B collab, if that is true.

Controversial (105,790) by Tevin from USA Ok the question that I'm about to ask isn't ment to cause negativity or shade. Since we have been talking about Mariah's career tragetory and eras the last few weeks, I started to ask myself this question, and I'm curious to hear everyone's opinion. If Mariah's voice did not deteriorate (she can still sing by the way), do you think her career tragetory would have been different (from where we are currently at now), or do you think it was inevitable that she would be put in "legacy" status, due to her age, and ageism in the industry?

Let's be kind. We didn't know what is upon us (105,806) by "MariahHater" from Hell I see many lambs lambasting JLo's latest effort but don't forget that we may be in dwindling numbers. See the support to Yes, and? Only 20k and lambs alone cannot procure that in the US. What about The Rarities, yeah it's a compilation album but they are new unreleased songs. Mariah is not a selling act anymore. And let's not pretend that she is not a declining artist. It's natural for them to have diminishing returns as they age. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 01:04)

Controversial (105,805) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have to say this. MC has had many managers and I don't think those managers have truly been able to solely manage her 100%. She has always been the co-manager in every era except TEOM. She really allowed Benny Medina to manage her 100%. With the others managers she co-managed her career. Just ask JD about his experience. If she would let someone experienced like Ron Fair take control of her career, then we may see her career skyrocket back 2008-2010 status.

Controversial (105,799) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think Mariah's team consistently fails to market her legendary career. Like regular people have no idea how many, she's not just the artist with the most #1's but she's also one of the few female producers (among mostly male producers) who has a high number of #1's. They also forget that out of 19 of her #1's, 18 were written by her. Her team really fails to promote her artistry. Taylor for example everyone goes nuts over how lyrics and her songwriting and she has a course in uni dedicated to her. She even got a honorary doctorate for it. Mariah literally is ten times the writer Taylor will be and yet people barely know she writes her own music. (Come on this woman literally wrote a whole song about this guy's "honey" and how it tastes and made it sound like a romantic innocent song.) Same for the Eras tour. Taylor's reputation was quite damaged since 1989, people weren't really caring for her until the Eras tour and her strategy for it was to turn the tour into something that's "unmissable" creating FOMO around it so even people who don't like her are splurging to watch her. Taylor took the Scooter Braun feud and turned it into a money making machine while simultaneously presenting it as women empowerment movement. Mariah had a very similar situation with Tommy and Sony. Her team could have angled it at how this young girl who was naïve was systematically almost destroyed by her mentor and how she overcame it. She should have done more high profile speaking events. There's a lot they could have done position to position Mariah in an unsinkable powerhouse way early on in her career that would made her base stronger but instead her team is mostly reactive not proactive. Because of the lazy approach she's mostly now known for her ability to sing in whistle register and her Christmas music. She looks great for her age (which is 12) why is her team turning her into a legacy artist? (Tuesday 27 February 2024; 19:08)

Ethical? Maybe not. Great? Yes (105,804) by Norman from USA Hey Todd, was the file taken down, or did you delete it? I'd been able to upload it to Spotify and listened to it on a playlist I made with Yes, but now it won't play. Either way, thank you for uploading it in the first place. Cheers.

Ethical? Maybe not. Great? Yes (105,394) by Todd from Sydney, Australia If any of you are on the TikTok, you might have seen the Mariah Carey AI version of JT's "Selfish" doing the rounds. Normally they sound rubbish, but this one is exceptional. It actually feels like a MC song. Anyway - if you want the MP3, here it is. (Tuesday 13 February 2024; 03:17)

Controversial (105,803) by Tevin from USA So true. There should be college courses on her voice. (Tuesday 27 February 2024; 20:47) this is a reply to message 105,797

Controversial (105,797) by Libra Lamb from USA I think her confidence would be much higher and thus likely to release music more often, do more live performances and be in the spotlight a lot more. It's a shame we have to go so long without hearing new music but we'll always have her extensive catalogue and nobody will take that away or forget her. She should be studied in Music School, I believe some already have. The Mariah Carey course has a nice ring to it. She's unique in a lot of ways, always imitated but never duplicated. My all time favorite artist. (Tuesday 27 February 2024; 18:25)
