Barbra and Mariah (108,135) by jaker20 from US Barbra: 36 studio albums, 12 compilations, and 15 soundtracks Mariah: 15 studio albums, 6 compilations. 0 soundtracks Do you see where I'm going here? 2 years later, the album she's saying already have 5 songs done, and she still can't finish it. And now Barbra, who is 82 is releasing another album, while Mariah is doing Vegas with no new song, not even a collab, a remix, or anything. It is so annoying that every single year, after very Christmas peaks, she can't come up with something, anything. Annoying and sad really. Forget voice or anything, I don't think she's got artistry left anymore tbh. Voice can be layered, remixed and be done with studio work. Artistry you can't, that's really what's she's lost.

Please (108,134) by Zachariah from Croatia Let's just hope that the song will be good and not boring. (Friday 7 February 2025; 11:58) this is a reply to message 108,133

Please (108,133) by Edward from USA When Celine and Barbra recorded "Tell Him", Barbra was 55, same age as Mariah is now, but she gave Celine a run for her money. I know it's a different time and context, but I had hoped Mariah would be at a similar vocal level now. Given that Barbra is almost 83 and Mariah's voice is what it is, the duet will likely be very subdued. Let's hope for the best. (Friday 7 February 2025; 04:51)

Please (108,132) by Bobby A from United States Her album is going to be filled with pop standards that will be radio friendly. I am thinking the Barbara/Mariah/Ariana duet will be radio friendly like her Tell Him duet with Celine. (Friday 7 February 2025; 02:43)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,130) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would love this too. But I think it would be a miracle. We will see. (Thursday 6 February 2025; 11:55) this is a reply to message 108,126

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,126) by Jamie from UK This would be amazing if Mariah and Walter could reunite. Maybe she's thinking if this is gonna be my last album, let's take it back to my roots. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 21:47)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,128) by Bobby A from United States I am trying to imagine how a MC and Walter A. ballad would sound in 2025. So let's think back to their early ballads like Love Takes Time, So Blessed, Hero, Just To Hold You Once Again. Those songs would suit her current voice well. Here is my analysis of the four songs. 1. MC sings in a reserved way. 2. There are not a lot of riffs and runs. 3. She doesn't do any heavy and prolonged belting. 4. Walter A.'s chords and production would make music critics say MC is returning to her original form that gave her hits after hits. Now if they did get back together for some songs on MC16, it would make 7 years of waiting for MC16 well worth it. (Thursday 6 February 2025; 01:53)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,120) by Bobby A from United States It is one possible way that could lead to MC being played on Pop radio again besides a Christmas song. I am here for more pop collaborations especially with Walter A. What if a truce happened and we had no idea that Walter A. and MC are on good terms in 2025. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 12:09)

The Grammys and Mariah's residency (108,125) by Jono from USA While I am a huge Beyonce fan as well, I think the issue should be with the Recording Academy and how they've wrongfully snubbed Mariah for so many years. I also think it's impossible for a show like the Grammys to ever make everybody happy because music tastes are so diverse that someone is always going to be upset. I take Beyonce's AOTY win as them making up for the past times she rightfully should've won. Whether or not you liked Cowboy Carter, you have to admit that it's extremely impressive, her previous album was a house record and this one is country. There is zero crossover with those two genres, so I think we need to give her credit that she's still challenging herself. Now on to Mariah - I no longer watch videos of her shows, only because it's just a shell of who she is. I can tell her heart isn't in it anymore. She's always preferred the studio, so I'd rather her release new music rather than tour - although that's the way for musicians to make the big money nowadays. We know Mariah isn't a dancer, but at least she used to move around the stage and command the audience. I remember during the pandemic, Mariah said the extra time and rest let her voice heal, but I have yet to see proof of that outside of the studio. Still hoping for new music this year.

The Grammys (108,124) by TJ from Norway She has more Grammys than Mariah, Celine, Madonna, Janet and Whitney combined. Crazy. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 16:37) this is a reply to message 108,110

The Grammys (108,110) by Edward from USA I would never put Beyonce in the same sentence with Mariah or Whitney, they simply can't be compared. I think people like Beyonce because she has maintained a polished public image, she's likable, and she has some good songs too. When it comes to her Grammy wins, it's astonishing to think that she has more than Mariah and Whitney combined, it just doesn't add up. One thing is undeniable though: Beyonce is a phenomenal entertainer. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 17:12)

Article: Barbra Streisand new album will feature song with Mariah (108,123) by Edward from USA That's a one I didn't see coming. I'm actually excited. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 14:29)

The Grammys (108,122) by BFF from United States I agree. I think it's so regrettable that critics and the award shows did not properly appreciate Mariah during her prime years. "Butterfly" was such a great album and should have been nominated for more awards. Sony also should have promoted it better and allowed "Breakdown" and/or "The Roof" to be official singles in the United States. It's also frustrating that "Butterfly" received a radio-only release, as it definitely could have gone to #1 and is one of her best ballads. "Butterfly" the song was nominated for best pop vocal performance but lost to Sarah McLachlan's "Building a Mystery", which I thought deserved the award. But Mariah should have gotten something for the album. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 12:20) this is a reply to message 108,114

The Grammys (108,114) by Zachariah from Croatia It is an absolute travesty that Butterfly wasn't nominated for an album of the year. It is a masterpiece and since then, I don't follow Grammy's any more. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 10:06)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,121) by MusicfanJ from Germany Honestly, I don't need Ariana on it, but Barbra and Mariah that sounds cool. I still would prefer a Mariah only release. But Barbra and Mariah that could be a big surprise. I'm ecxited for it. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 12:16) this is a reply to message 108,119

The Grammys (108,118) by MusicfanJ from Germany "It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin." Absolutely, that is just wrong. I can't take that award show seriously. It has become a joke like a Muppet Show. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 11:20) this is a reply to message 108,106

The Grammys (108,106) by BFF from United States Beyoncé's music was decent at the beginning of her solo career up until the album "4". Particularly, "B'Day" had some good songs on it. Her recent albums often seem like they are written/produced by committees of tastemakers rather than organically produced as collaborations. And she just doesn't have deep, meaningful songs the way that Mariah and others do. It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin. The Recording Academy has really eroded its credibility with these types of decisions. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 12:46)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,117) by Shezz from Pk If she can produce vocals good enough to sing with Barbra and Ariana on the same song, then that puts to bed rumours that her vocals are why she’s not recording an album. I think Mariah would not sign off on such a collaboration unless her voice could pull it off. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 11:18) this is a reply to message 108,115

The Grammys (108,111) by BFF from United States Grammys that Mariah was nominated for and should have won by the year: 1991 "Vision of Love" should have won for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It's a better song and vocal performance than any of the others that nominated. 1996 "Daydream" should have won Best Pop Vocal Album. Joni Mitchell's "Turbulent Indigo" is not anywhere near Mitchell's best work, and "Daydream" is a better album. "One Sweet Day" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" and "Record of the Year". I loved Seal's "Kiss From a Rose", but it didn't need to win Song of the Year and Record of the Year. And why wasn't "One Sweet Day" nominated for "Song of the Year"? 2000 "When You Believe" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas did not need to win in this category. 2006 "We Belong Together" should have won Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It is undeniable that this song was the biggest of the year, and to give the awards to Green Day and U2 was slap in the face to Mariah when she had a great year. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 18:16)

Really? (108,112) by Edward from USA Not only did Beyonce win Best Country Album, but she also took home Country Album of the Year, an absolute travesty. Even she seemed shocked to receive the award. The Grammys have become a complete joke. What's next, Best Fart of the Year? Give me fat effing break. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 00:57)

The Grammys (108,107) by Tameka walker from United states I do agree with you. I heard she has people that write for her and she doesn't give them their credit. I think she is over rated and she is not as gifted as a singer as Mariah or songwriter when it comes to songwriting and singing that's all Mariah. Mariah can't sing like she used to but in her prime Mariah was a force to be reckoned with, her and Whitney. Beyoncé only got that album of the year because [Jay Z] moaned and complained at last year Grammys. When Beyonce first started her solo career it seemed like she couldn't do anything without [Jay] from [Crazy in love] to Dejuve, she have had some good songs but she is not as good as Whitney or Mariah. Those women had some phenomenal voices in their prime. Beyoncé to me is just okay that is it. Another I would like to add is that she is no Michael Jackson either. Michael was. On some other level to me she isn't on I got all of Whitney. Mariah and Michael. I brought [Dangerously in love] and B Day I have only brought like 3 [Beyonce] albums and it was only 3 to 3 songs on each that I liked. With the other three I liked the majority of the songs and I feel like Mariah has always been robbed by the Grammys if you can give Beyonce all those Grammys you can give Mariah some too. To me I think the Grammys lost their credibility. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 14:29)
