Tringle (56,228) by 123 from USA I like Jojo's idea of releasing three songs at the same time. It would be great if Mariah released three quality singles in three different genres: pop, hip/hop r&B, and dance. Releasing Beautiful, Faded, and Meteorite at the same time would have been cool.

Re: Tamia (56,223) (56,227) by 123 from USA I love the whole album. She is very underrated. My favorite song is Stuck With Me. (Monday 24 August 2015; 3:03)

Re: New album (56,224) (56,226) by B from USA I want her to write lyrics like Alway Be My Baby, Butterfly, Breakdown, The Roof, Looking In, Outside, My All, and Side Effects. I want smartly written poetic lyrics that everyone can relate to. When she references herself or her personal life in her lyrics it makes the songs hard to relate to. Does anyone else understand what I'm trying to say or agree? (Monday 24 August 2015; 2:57)

Re: New album (56,221) (56,225) by Giovanni from USA I couldn't agree more. "Infinity" is just that, a mess. I'm still at a loss for words that she included it with her number ones. I hope that she's really writing with Diane Warren. I want the return of the real hit making Mariah Carey. Not this silly trying to stay young [censored] writing Mimi. Because let's be real, had she released "Infinity" in the 90's, it would have been her first flop song. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 21:01)

Re: New album (56,222) (56,224) by B from USA Mariah needs to update her signature sound by working with new producers and writers. She doesn’t need to make any drastic changes musically. I think she should embrace Hipster R&B (Miguel and Frank Ocean). I think it would work wonders for her career. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 18:00)

Re: Tamia (56,218) (56,223) by Licia from USA I agree. I love Tamia's new album. It's just spectacular. It would be cool to hear Mariah go in this direction. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 16:30)

Re: New album (56,221) (56,222) by Bill from the UK That's an interesting direction, but I don't think it's Mariah's sound or what she herself would listen to and enjoy. If she was to change musical direction I would imagine it would be more towards a jazz kind of vibe. The improvised TGIFY at Vegas was a step in that direction, as well as her great rendition of Don't Explain during the Elusive tour. In fact, I would absolutely love to hear her revisit some of her older material in the same style and manner that she did with TGIFY. That is by far and away the highlight of each show in my opinion and she always sounds fantastic and completely nails it every time. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 11:36)

New album (56,221) by Musti from UK I am disappointed with Why You Mad. I've let it grow on me over the last few days, but I shouldn't feel forced to like this mess simply because it's new material. It made me think she should do an entire album of rap to exhaust her hunger, so that we can hopefully see the last of songs like this and Triumphant. More importantly, why is she even remixing this song? Infinity is long dead and the remix is not a single step up from the original. For the next album, I hope Mariah starts experimenting with electronic music and finds a way to merge that with her sound. By electronic I mean acts like Disclosure, Caribou, Kadebostan, Frivolous, i.e. not the commerial dance crap of David Guetta or Calvin Harris. It can do wonders wonders to her music.

New music (56,220) by David F from Mexico For those who want to hear Mariah says new great music is on the way soon, type Mariah Carey acompanada de sus hijos recibe descubre su estrella el paseo de LA fama on YouTube. I got so excited by the way she said it like, I felt like a reference not to Christmas music, judge by yourself, so happy. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 6:39)

Re: Sam Hunt collabo (56,214) (56,219) by darrian liu from taiwan Wow I really didn't expect someone to suggest this collab but as I imagined it in my mind, I get so giddy lol. I think it's a really unexpected collab a la Fantasy Bad Boy Remix. It would be mindblowing especially with such a versatile artist like Mariah. If it happens I would be ecstatic. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 3:53)

Tamia (56,218) by 123 from USA If Mariah wants to create some contemporary r&b songs that aren't chasing trend and complementary to her voice, she should listen to Tamia's new album Love Live. Here are two songs that I love from that album: song 1 and song 2. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 2:50)

Re: New material / Slipping Away (56,183) (56,217) by 123 from USA Daydream is my favorite album. It would be great if they did a special edition and add Slipping Away and any other unreleased songs from that era. I would also like a special edition of her debut with the demo versions added and any other songs she created at the time. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 2:40)

Article: Mariah Carey arrives (several years too) late (56,216) by B from USA Whatever. The media loves to kick people when they're down. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 1:14)

Re: Mariah (56,213) (56,215) by B from USA Her behavior doesnt bother me. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 1:07)

Sam Hunt collabo (56,214) by Quaid Long from USA I know this is really out of left field, but as long as we're making suggestions on new directions Mariah can/should go, I think a collabo with Sam Hunt would be amazing. Yes, he's country, but is he really? To me, he's country and so much more. Just read this Billboard article about his hip-hop influences and you'll see why working with Mariah would so awesome. He already covered one of her songs live (and did a brilliant job), and his love for hip-hop would fit it perfectly with her. Plus, a collabo with him is so not an obvious choice for her. It's really just a perfect match, and I wish to God that someone from either camp would read this and at least consider it. (Sunday 23 August 2015; 0:14)

Mariah (56,213) by QueenLambassador from Portugal I don't understand people sometimes. Many of you feel kinda of ashamed to be a fan or something? Mariah wouldn't be the same if she was more conservative in the way of dressing up or if she wasn't so divalicious. Where is the problem in being classy different and still be talented? Her persona may overshadow the artist, I agree but to actually say her legacy may be stained with her behavior (which for me it's not a bad behaviour, just over the top) is kinda bleak. It's her name in the history books, that no one can deny. Why are the fans so critical of her behaviour when all you should be focusing on wis her music? Just stop. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 23:20)

Re: New music (56,211) (56,212) by B from USA Sorry, Eric. I will. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 22:37)

Re: New music (56,210) (56,211) by B from USA I'm not. You are. [Webmaster: Could you two please stop this "discussion"? You sound like little children on the playground.] (Saturday 22 August 2015; 22:23)

Re: New music (56,209) (56,210) by Giovanni from USA Why you delusional? (Saturday 22 August 2015; 20:13)

Re: New music (56,208) (56,209) by B from USA Why You Mad? (Saturday 22 August 2015; 19:42)

Re: New music (56,206) (56,208) by Giovanni from USA Me too. Maybe "Infinity" part 2. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 19:15)

Re: New music (56,201) (56,206) by B from USA Please share the link. All things Mariah get me excited, especially new music. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 17:35)

Re: The biggest (56,202) (56,205) by B from USA Always Be My Baby was the most played song on the radio in 96. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 16:43)

Cant find fan made 4 cd set of b-sides to download (56,204) by Sean M from USA A few years ago there was a "fan made" 4 cd collection that the creator called "Heat". It had 4 song lists: B-sides (90-96), B-sides (97-2000), B-sides (03-08) and an extra cd of "duets". [...] Here is a link showing exactly what I am talking about. I lost the cd and the only copy I have of each of these cd's "heat collection" are recorded onto a cassette tape. Hahaha. Blast from the past huh? [...] This next side note is Irrelevant, but I just felt like explaining it anyway. Lol. About the cassette tape recordings i mentioned earlier. I used a Nakamichi paired with Sony Metal Master recording cassettes, the best recording machine and tapes ever made (us audiophiles drool over them. These machines and metal tapes, when used correctly, produce an unsurpassed sound quality far better than any CD ever would. (They introduce analog warmth and better SNR than even a CD when done correctly.) But only for home or other settings, they still wouldn't transfer completely flawlessly to a PC to create digital files to record to a CD. There are bound to be a tiny tiny tiny bit of hiss and just a few drouputs. [...] The resulting transfer would not hold up to the quality I am looking for. So I need to find the digital files to download again. [...] (Saturday 22 August 2015; 16:15)

Re: Jake (56,194) (56,203) by darrian liu from taiwan I think it depends. If the legend who has an impressive catalog suddenly records bad music (to the legend's standards) constantly, then the said legend could tarnish his or her legacy. However, in Mariah's case, only very few of her songs are sub-par to her standards. I don't really like Infinity, but then again it's at worst decent. Mariah's worst songs are at worst, decent. There's not one song of hers that commits a serious crime musically. The worst you can get is just probably patchy production or "immature" (I prefer to call it playful) lyrics. I let my friends listen to Infinity and they said that it's a really good song. When I told them that it wasn't her best they were surprised, so I let them listen to Breakdown, Underneath The Stars and Vanishing. They turned into lambs lol. (Saturday 22 August 2015; 12:56)
