Photoshoot (105,954) by T from USA SUD is short for Someone's Ugly Daughter. The secret indie rock album Mariah recorded in 1995. (Monday 11 March 2024; 21:27) this is a reply to message 105,937

If Made For Me was MC's (105,953) by T from USA Made For Me would've been great on Caution. I would've taken that over With You as the first single. (Monday 11 March 2024; 21:26) this is a reply to message 105,943

If Made For Me was MC's (105,943) by Bobby A from United States Made For Me should have been for MC. Muni Long said in this interview that Made For Me was a demo that she had been sitting on for years before JD and BMC added their touch. Wow, just think if she gave it to MC back in 2018 to replace With You. MC wouldn't had such a dry Caution era. The AI version is definitely what MC would have sounded like.

Photoshoot (105,952) by T from USA Big business cares about the numbers. In order for them to invest in a new Mariah album she has to prove that it's worth it. We are talking millions of dollars on the line. Plain and simple. Had Yes, And remix reached top 10 with a Mariah credit and kept having success for the next few months a label would be willing to take the chance that Mariah may produce more success. That's why I was hoping beyond hope that it would blow up. (Monday 11 March 2024; 21:25) this is a reply to message 105,940

Photoshoot (105,940) by Tevin from USA Who cares about the numbers, it's time to hear new music or reimagined music from Mariah. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 17:50)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,951) by T from USA I believe it's a control issue. Mariah wants to be 100% involved in every aspect. Especially how her voice is engineered. With Caution and Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel she gave up a big portion of that to others and the results were a more cohesive album that to this day have the best review scores. Sometimes I think because of what happened with her debut album, the lack of control and her pushing the fact that she's a writer/producer so hard it hinders her in time it takes to release something. I'm not going to doubt her abilities as she has proven time and again that she is the secret sauce to all of her music, but, it is clear Ariana gave Max Martin the entire runway to do his job. And, yes did it wonderfully. (Monday 11 March 2024; 21:21) this is a reply to message 105,947

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,947) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I remember Mariah expressed her dissatisfaction with being pushed to release "Caution" with a quick turnaround. Ariana said in her interviews that Eternal Sunshine took her 3 months to complete. She also kind of did it while shooting for a major movie. Eternal Sunshine is getting great reviews and is said to be cohesive and impactful. So which brings me to why does it take Mariah so long nowadays to release an album? She is no stranger to churning out great albums, and she finished Rainbow in a few months. But what is stopping her from fully investing herself in an album now? If she can come up with WBT, ILT, SIO all within a span of 2 days, what's hindering her now? (Monday 11 March 2024; 14:28)

Ariana SNL performance (105,950) by T from USA Mariah did do that on Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel. Obsessed was vastly different than the mood of the album. So much so that I believe the album suffered until streaming starting kicking in a few years ago. Back in 2009 lots of people who were fans of Mariah stayed away from the album initially because they weren't feeling the new teeny bopper vibe Mariah was giving from E=MC2 to Obsessed. Little did they know the actual album was full of classic MC R&B. I still think Obsessed would've fit in better on Einstein in 2008. And Memoirs could've used Skydiving (Timbaland) in its place.

Ariana SNL performance (105,941) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I haven't heard the full album yet and I just saw her newest music video and it was so beautifully done. If there's one thing about Ariana, her music videos are on point. I love the movie references she puts in some of them. Example TUN had so many iconic scenes from 4 iconic movies. This one was a tribute to "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I don't know who comes up with the contexts but I hope Mariah picks up on those for her next visuals inspirations. I'll be checking out the album, I hear it's a cohesive and compact one telling a story which I enjoy. I think the reason she won't term it as a "break up" album is because she has to keep it vague. Her and Dalton had signed NDAs as part of their divorce so none can outright bash the other. I'm surprised that her lead single was so different from the mood of the album, that's smart and risky at the same time. Because Ariana has such a huge streaming pull she can do it, if it was Mariah and her lead single was so controversial and different from her actual album people might not be as receptive.

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,949) by Anonymous from USA Sadly, you are probably right. Which is why we as the fans should be lifting her up and encouraging her to get back in the ring and do her best, no matter what. She deserves a ton of respect and love and I'm here for all of it. We love you Mimi, you can do it all. I still prefer MC on a bad day over any other female vocalist. I can't express that enough. She's the GOAT.

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,948) by Bobby A from United States I believe MC is hurt that she doesn't have her range like she used to, record her songs like the way she is used to recording them. You know she is a perfectionist and loves to add different vocal techniques and runs to her songs. I bet it just hurts her that she can't do Lead The Way runs anymore. (Monday 11 March 2024; 15:09)

If Made For Me was MC's (105,946) by Zachariah from Croatia With You is my wake up alarm melody.

Article: Ariana Grande on Mariah Carey: "That is mother!" (105,945) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nice of Ariana to continue to praise Mariah.

Photoshoot (105,942) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm always greedy for Mariah lol. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 18:47) this is a reply to message 105,923

Photoshoot (105,923) by Terna from Nigeria Oh wow. That's major if it's true. Mariah may have something up her sleeve after all. Maybe a re-release with a brand new extra disc (I'm being greedy lol) of new songs that never made the final cut - you know she did write and record that album the whole year through 2004. I remember Mariah was missing in action all year, then materialized with that silvery metallic blue dress at an event at the end of the year. Also her song with Jadakiss was about the only thing she featured in and had her sounding well rested and in form again. (Saturday 9 March 2024; 14:02)

Ariana SNL performance (105,934) by Bobby A from United States After her beautiful and brilliant performances on SNL, I listented to Eternal Sunshine again. I have to say now that I totally get her new album. Why didn't she just say that it was a break-up album for those individuals who have lost? It is now Spotify's biggest most streamed album in a single day with 54.8 millions streams with 8 of the album's tracks in the Spotify Top 10. Also, I wonder what happened between Ariana and Dalton. The album is definitely about him. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 11:04)

Photoshoot (105,936) by T from USA I think you're on to something. She redid WBT. Maybe the Butterfly Lounge turned into a a redo of TEOM with duets. Maybe a re-release on the anniversary with a bonus disc of remakes from Mimi? Although, do CD's even sell anymore? I think Mariah should focus on SUD, if it's actually a thing. A new album would not do well in this climate for Mariah. Ariana's Grande album will not debut with big numbers, and she's the biggest streaming artist out there. The reason Mariah focuses on the Christmas album every year is because it actually makes money and there is interest in it. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 14:06)

No new album in 2024 (105,848) by T from USA I'm hearing that there indeed will be no new album this year. MC16 is nowhere near completion and she doesn't have a label either. For fans that loved MIAMTEC I'm sure when something finally comes it will be in the vein of that album that took time to release (2011-2014). And less like Caution that was all done in a matter of months. Jay Z and Roc Nation lined up ten different producers and Mariah just banged out Caution in record time. MC16 will be more of a personal work that has sit with her for years before release. The question will be if any of the Butterfly Lounge ideas will make it on. The Yes And remix was recorded to hold fans over until Christmas which will be a big 30th anniversary later this year. Hopefully there will be one more song release this year as well, but it doesn't look like it. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 13:51)

Will Daydream ever get its respect? (105,930) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I absolutely hope there is no Merry Christmas 30. She has beat that horse to death. What will she be doing for Daydream30? It's clear, and she has alluded to it, that the Daydream era is bittersweet for her. However it's also her commercial peak. She seems to run from anything Daydream. There is so much she can do to commemorate it: recreate the tour merch, release the full artwork photoshoot (we've never seen it), release tour rehearsal footage, release an acapella of the album version of Fantasy, do an in depth interview about the album.
