Taryn Murphy / Make it go away (105,695) by MusicfanJ from Germany

I love this song since I first heard it on the "Wise Girls" movie. I always thought it would suit Mariah too. I wish there was a version sung by MC. Some parts of it reminds me a bit of Mariah.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,694) by MusicfanJ from Germany

It's really a dumb argument. I'm not good at cooking for example lol, but I appreciate and recognize a good meal, a good cook and restaurant.

I'm not a movie director, but I'm a cineast.

By the way I have knowledge of music, my grand-dad was an opera singer. He sang the Caruso songs and other classics. But if someone thinks the rapper Latto and Ariana Grande are wonderful than it's fine. We all have our different tastes. That's good, what a boring world it would be if we had all the same. Nowadays it's trendy to only allow the own opinion. Intolerant and boring.

Even though I replied to your post, I was not talking about you specifically, I meant that in a general way and only towards the naysayers. I know you're not one of them, sorry if there's a misunderstanding.

I like how a negative heading has sparked such great conversation today. MC is a legend.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,691) by Jamie from UK

Did Mariah not say on numerous occasions "I owe it all to the fans"? Well that works both ways I'm afraid when you put yourself in the public domain. You have to earn people's respect and give your fans what they want. Do whatever you like in your personal life but when it comes to your fanbase they have invested a lot of time in her as an artist and only want the best from her. I wasn't negative about her latest release with Ariana, I actually praised it. But I appreciate it's not everyone's favourite, I'm not gonna sit here and type your all something else for not like it as I accept everyone has a difference in opinions. From your post you think Mariah should just do mediocre performances from now on, and everyone should just say that's ok it's Mariah she's allowed to, she doesn't care about that stuff. And again that's fine you're entitled to your opinion, but remember a lot of us have an opinion to you and that's ok too. Ps I sang this back to myself just so you know some of us can sing.

But I haven't said I want or expect another Music Box. And I think any of us knows that's not gonna happen. My point is that not everyone will like what she puts out and that's fine. Some people don't like Music Box but that's ok too. We're not all robots that have to agree with everything.

I think the sentiment is that there's good fans and there's toxic fans, regardless of how long anyone's been lurking about.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,688) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands

"None of you can or will ever be able to sing. Therefore you know nothing about the subject."

So must be able to song to appreciate music. Or must be able to paint to appreciate art.

What a dumb argument.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,687) by JC from United States

Your response is the issue though. Opinions are fine but thinking you deserve and are owed something. She doesn't owe you or anyone anything. Not everyone will love her but you guys are something else. Like already we don't know how much longer she will put up with this bs. You don't think she's tired of seeing YouTube videos of lambs comparing vocals from 1990 to recent ones, lambs need to stop being note [censored]. She doesn't care about that stuff. None of you can or will ever be able to sing. Therefore you know nothing about the subject.

Similarity between Big Energy Remix and yes, and? (105,686) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Honestly I was thinking the same. In both instances they were together and could have easily done a longer video or at least have a little chat talking about the collaboration and what it means to them. Ariana could have talked about how the collaboration came to be, why they decided on this song. Mariah could have talked about her love for remixes and why she decided to join Ariana on a song that casual listeners wouldn't associate with her usual music. They could have also done small videos of just them playing fun games to promote the video like "who knows who better" or pop culture quizzes (both of them are big pop culture experts). Then they could have released these videos every other day to keep engagement. It's honestly a shame. Mariah posted a small video yesterday promoting singing the chorus. But I'm shocked that Ariana's team dropped the song like it's hot. Like after the first day there was a single mention of the release not even a story. I know she's trying to sell an album but why not simultaneously put spotlight on this song to keep the engagement ?

Similarity between Big Energy Remix and yes, and? (105,685) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia

Both songs have snippet promo video but not actual video. Such a waste. In Big Energy Remix, we can see Mariah and Latto in a short promo video wearing pink dresses. Why can't they took that opportunity to just film a video. Nowadays, visual is very important. Now the history repeat itself. Mariah and Ariana were both on set together for promo video of yes, and? wearing black dresses in some hotel but didn't shoot a video. Just a snippet of them hanging around, laughing, lipsynching to the audio of that song. Total waste. We could at least deserve a cheap low budget video of Mariah and Latto in that pink dresses, and Mariah and Ariana in that black dresses. At least.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,684) by Anonymous from USA

I get what you're saying Jamie. I'm not talking about the usual difference of opinions. I'm passionate about MC and I always defend her but I know it's coming from a positive place. Passionately tearing her to shreds is quite different. MC and her voice have evolved while some fans are stuck in the past waiting for another Music Box that will never happen. Before you call me delusional for staying positive and supportive, delusional would be not acknowledging that her voice will never be the same as it was in her prime. People change, and we must either accept it or move on, there's no need to diagnose her, then whine and moan every time new music comes out, it's unhealthy for everyone involved. I'm very direct, perhaps too direct for some. That's my humble opinion and I stand by it.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,683) by TJ from Norway

So a fan who is still there after let's say 30 years plus, but doesn't like everything she does, isn't a real fan? Did I read your message wrong? I have to ask.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,682) by Jamie from UK

Because everyone is individual and has their own opinions. Not one fan is the same. I personally love the remix and stated I thought her vocals were great in it. But I'm open to the thought that others might not like it and that's ok. It's that the point of a forum for everyone to bring their thoughts to the table and create a debate. I'm all for positivity but I'm also open to criticism too otherwise how do people grow. No one truly knows what's going on with Mariah or her voice at times but as fans who have invested so much time in our artist it's only normal to have an opinion one way or the other. It doesn't mean people love her any less. If people didn't comment one way or the other then I would be worried as to me that would show that any passion they have for Mariah has gone. I'm so excited for a new Mariah album if every track is amazing then fantastic but I don't think we should be getting into a culture where we can't say exactly how we feel about something because as I said not everyone likes the same things and that is ok.

Her voice is fine now, as we heard on recent Christmas shows. At least I did. My problem is a dumb collaborations on a dumb song. That's all.

Charts (105,680) by Tameka walker from United states

Does anyone know what the mid week position for Mariah and Ariana is?

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,679) by Anonymous from USA

It's hard for some people to remember that MC is a human being. It's even harder for them to show her the respect she deserves. I sound like a broken record but I'll say it again: if she's obviously not bringing joy to some of y'all, it is time to move on instead of bringing people down with your negativity and ungrateful attitude. Misery does love company. It's downright disgusting and pathetic. With fans like these who needs enemies. Please go complain somewhere else. Y'all do act like musical geniuses on here but probably don't have one creative bone in your body. And don't give me that BS that it's tough love, if this is love, nobody wants it. I hear JLo and Taylor Swift have new or recycled music that may placate you. Let me go back to enjoying Yes, And?

No way. Not I Don't too? They both sound completely live. Can you post the last time MC performed 100% live on network TV before The Distance in 2019? I am thinking when she performed I'm That Chick on the Victoria's Secret primetime CBS special. Right?

You should see what Arianators are telling Ariana. In fandom, there's always 2 types: true fans who will be there through it all. And success-stans who's only there to live vicariously through the celebrity success.

I feel really bad now about some of my recent comments. I remember during 2005-2008, I was telling anybody who would let me tell them about a new Mariah Carey song. I would always end the conversation, "That's my girl." I need to get back to doing that. Thank you JC.

This is suppose to be a Mariah fan board, all I've seen is negative uncalled for opinions on Mariah and her voice, you guys think she's a robot? I recently saw a video of twitter spaces, some lamb had the balls to tell Mariah that every time she performs the lambs wonder if she will hit a g7 or how high she will go. Meanwhile this lamb works at Burger King but thinks he knows everything about her voice. I noticed this was her last time on twitter spaces. You guys are ruining this for her, y'all don't know anything about her voice or what's going on, have some respect for the woman who supposedly you say saved your life with her music. I really hope she doesn't release anything new. Why would she? Just for you guys to disect and judge her voice condition. I used to love this board, before all the lambs became vocal teachers.

This is what we asked for (105,673) by jaker20 from US

I don't think she's going to be credited but iId like to be surprised lol. This is just a cute little remix like BER that she barely spent time on. It's the lambs that are hungry for new materials, to the point of embracing an AI version of a flop JT song.

I'm guessing it's going to be close. But it's going to be up to Billboard, they're not going to release the split of numbers.

I think Mariah should already be credited. The remix helped Ariana until her album is released, and the original would have dropped out of the top 30, most likely worse, and that would have been a disaster for her. There's so much is riding on Ariana on this release.

Either way, I just like that Mariah is collaborating with her and new artists. She should do this more often, regardless of chart results.

New album (105,672) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

JWho apparently spent 20 million of her own money to create a visual album. Now I haven't seen the visuals neither have I heard the album so I don't know much about it. I hear it's average but that's a really ambitious project. It didn't do great sales wise but like I said still ambitious. The way Mariah writes her songs sometimes you can envision them (like BGK, Babydoll, Crybaby etc) so I would really love a visual album from Mariah. Where she hires creative people to help her out with strong visuals. I wish she'd be willing to take that ambitious project on. Also I was hoping MC releases her album sooner that later, the more she'll delay the lesser attention it'll get. I still think she's got more hits in her just need to have the right collaborations whether it's other writers or other artists.
