Re: Little Mermaid - Halle Bailey (101,282) (101,284) by Robert-Anthony from United States You could be right Matty. Little Mermaid is going to be released May 26th. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 11:25)

Re: Global Citizen (101,280) (101,283) by Robert-Anthony from United States ABC will air parts of her performance Sunday, September 25th at 7pm Eastern. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 11:20)

Little Mermaid - Halle Bailey (101,282) by Matty from Vancouver Canada So the gorgeous star of the new live action Halle Bailey just announced there are four brand new songs on the soundtrack for the film. There were also rumours that Halle and Mariah recorded a song together (which was originally assumed to be for #Butterfly25), I wonder if it's for The Little Mermaid soundtrack and that's the "themed album" Mariah has been talking about.

MC's plan (101,281) by Robert-Anthony from United States I'm just thinking that MC could be planning MC16 as a album that will bring the legends and new eclectic artists and producers together on one album. She has never done anything like that before. It's going to be interesting to see what she releases next year. I am ready for something new and fresh. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 03:22)

Global Citizen (101,280) by Tyler from USA I'm very excited to see Mimi perform but I wanted to see if anyone knew how long her set will be. I'm not confident she's the main act as her name is roughly fourth from the top. Living in NYC makes me really want to attend but paying $250 for a 25 minute set consisting of Hero, ABMB and the other go to songs makes it hard to commit. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 02:43)

Rolling Stone Butterfly interview (101,279) by RJJ12 from USA The Rolling Stone Butterfly interview was really good. I loved how she dived into the creation of the songs and how the interviewer noticed that it was Mariah who would lead Walter into a more R&B/Gospel/Soul leaning sound than his work with other artists, like a Celine Dion. I appreciate that even though he has publicly spoken poorly of her, she still speaks highly of him and gives him his flowers. Per this interview we can confirm that Walter was the second producer during the butter knife incident. I liked the bonus story at the end about her experience with weed brownies and how she almost thought she made a mistake with her then experimental approach to Breakdown. Here is the link for those that want to hear it. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 02:41)

Top of the Pops - Honey 1997 (101,278) by Randy from USA I've never seen this performance. At first, I was thrilled it wasn't lip synced. Until she got to the high ad-lib "I Can't Hardly Wait. Gotta Have Another Taste." It's interesting to hear her voice so husky but she still had use of some of her high full voice notes. I wish she had thugged it out and hit that adlib. 1997, even though she looked like she struggled thru performances, was one of my favorite vocal years because she had some rasp but still could sing in her belting range pretty high.

Re: Another taste of honey (101,266) (101,277) by Edward from USA So, the Honey is the sperm collective, the guys dancing represent each individual sperm trying to get to the egg who would be represented by Mariah, the uterus is represented by the boat they're dancing on. Then the egg take a swimming in the honey and then she has twins on 2011. Mimi L, I love you, but I guess you're ready to have a baby. (Tuesday 20 September 2022; 20:54)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,266) (101,276) by BFF from United States Yeah, how do you call a 6-minute interview a documentary? I don't think fans found out much about the video that we didn't already know. (Tuesday 20 September 2022; 16:34)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,268) (101,275) by Carlos from Brazil I am so sad about it too Mimi L. I can't die without knowing what D.U.N.C.E. means haha and the theory you said about. Wow Mariah is a genius for it and it makes so much sense! (Tuesday 20 September 2022; 12:54)

Re: Release Honey music video in that color (101,273) (101,274) by Bill from the UK It did look equally as good, but the sepia filter was very "Butterfly", what with the album palette and Mariah's earth tone look back then. (Tuesday 20 September 2022; 12:42)

Release Honey music video in that color (101,273) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Those who watched the Honey documentary can see the original color of the music video, which is very vibrant instead of that yellow tone that they filtered on the music video. So why not it's about time that they release an alternate music video with the original color/tone that they filmed. It can be a gift to the fans and newer fans. It can also generate more views.

Re: Another taste of honey (101,269) (101,272) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you for sharing, Billy. This interview is so good. It's a great time to be a Lamb right now. Good things are on the way in 2023. I wonder how MC is going to celebrate the Rainbow album's 25th anniversary in 2024. I have a few ideas. (Monday 19 September 2022; 23:12)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,266) (101,271) by Tevin from USA Mimi L, I was sitting in the quite waiting room for my chiropractor appointment, and I read your comment about the "Sea Men" and eggs. I literally busted out laughing. (Monday 19 September 2022; 22:11)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,269) (101,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ohh how did I miss this. Thanks for sharing. Will be checking it out. (Monday 19 September 2022; 21:28)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,268) (101,269) by Billy from Greece Check this out. It's pretty much an audio documentary on Butterfly and it lasts a couple of hours. (Monday 19 September 2022; 21:07)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,266) (101,268) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Continuing from my last post, I wish for Mariah magnum opus album "Butterfly" that we would have a whole documentary attached to it like making of the album, the thought process, the song inspirations, the video concepts. I know she has said details in previous interviews and her book but it'd be nice to have it all in 1 documentary. Or another thing she could have done is have a breakdown of all her videos from the album as almost all the videos from this album was really conceptual with a lot of thought into it (aka not just Mariah touching herself) so I would have loved her do a whole documentary on that. (Monday 19 September 2022; 18:53)

New release (101,267) by RL from USA Sort of. (Monday 19 September 2022; 18:45)

Another taste of honey (101,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just got back from watching the BTS. Firstly Mariah looks stunning but girl what on earth? It was 5 mins long only after all that hype? Honey is easily one of her best videos (Breakdown is #1 though) and it's iconic. There's so much that goes on in the video and the remix video too I was thinking we'd get a scene by scene breakdown and some details behind the looks, the scenes, what does "D.U.N.C.E." stand for. It was only 5 mins long and that includes cutaways to the music video and also a story about how one of the crew got into an accident? Like I understand it's serious and would have made sense in a longer documentary to share but in 5 mins a whole minute was dedicated to that. Anyways. Ok so on another tangent - we all know/suspect that "Honey" is innuendo for bodily fluids but I saw this theory yesterday that the scene where Mariah was dancing with the sailors (or "sea men") was an innuendo of semen around an egg I was dead lol. Also the light fixture behind them was a giant egg shaped one. I wanted tea on that. I don't know if this was talked about when "Honey" originally came out because I was a baby but I legit can't look at the video the same lol. If that was truly the intention then Mariah is a genius.

Re: Breakdown rediscovered (101,264) (101,265) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Yes I agree. Breakdown should be released as single, right after My All. Mariah should perform Breakdown at: 1. Soul Train Lady Of Soul Awards, instead of performing that My All/Stay Awhile. My All was already number one at that time so no point of performing that song. Such a waste, in my opinion. 2. Video Music Awards, the one where she attended and presented with the late Whitney. Imagine Mariah wearing the cowboy hat and black leather pants as in the video for the performance. Or she can just wear the sexy pole dancer black outfit. Whatever she likes. Those two performances from two major awards show should guarantee a hit song for Breakdown. (Monday 19 September 2022; 06:02)

Re: Breakdown rediscovered (101,261) (101,264) by Bill from the UK I think Breakdown will go down in history as one of the biggest regrets of Mariah's career. The song was ground breaking at the time, the video was brilliant, and nothing like it had come before it. I genuinely believe it would have been a #1 in the US if it had been given its shot. Mariah would have got behind it and promoted the hell out of it. Glad you're seeing it in a new light now Terna. As I live through different experiences so many Mariah songs end up meaning more, Breakdown no exception. (Monday 19 September 2022; 00:01)

Re: My All (101,258) (101,263) by BFF from United States Agreed. I remember listening to most of those #1 songs from 1998 over and over and over. I know R. Kelly is an unsavory character, but I quite liked that Celine/R. Kelly duet. My grandma really liked Celine Dion, so thinking of that song reminds me of her. "The Boy Is Mine" was also a huge favorite. And that song "Too Close" was super catchy but incredibly inappropriate for me to be listening to when I was 10 lol. (Sunday 18 September 2022; 23:55)

Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,240) (101,262) by Victoria from USA I don't think it would've been number 1. I know it's horrible to say, but it's not one of my favorites. Breakdown though. (Sunday 18 September 2022; 21:28)

Re: Breakdown rediscovered (101,249) (101,261) by Victoria from USA It would've been another #1, if it was released as an actual single. The video was number 1 on TRL, a lot. (Sunday 18 September 2022; 21:25)

Re: Mariah Mariah Mariah (101,256) (101,260) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes. ABC will air the performances of the September 24th event on September 25th at 7pm Eastern. (Sunday 18 September 2022; 16:29)
