My All Blockbuster Awards 1998 (102,513) by Bobby A from United States This has to be the most beautiful performance of My All during the Butterfly era. I think this is the only time that she ended My All the way she did. And she looked gorgeous accepting her award. (Saturday 8 April 2023; 13:26)

Article: Track list revealed for Mariah's new album (102,512) by Edward from USA An employee at Walmart was responsible for the title leak, but I doubt it was the reason Mariah scrapped everything. At the time it was about to be released, she was still in a relationship with Nick. When their relationship started going down south is when TAOLG didn't make sense to her anymore.

Article: Track list revealed for Mariah's new album (102,511) by Bobby A from United States We can blame Walmart for TAOLG being scrapped. Someone at the retail giant leaked the album title and July 23, 2013 release date. Mariah was pissed and released MIAM less than a year later on May 23, 2014. I believe that Thirsty, $Money, Meteorite, YDKWTD, and Heavenly were recorded after the Wal-Mart leak of TAOLG. (Saturday 8 April 2023; 12:30)

Article: Track list revealed for Mariah's new album (102,510) by Edward from USA "The Art of Letting Go" was the name of the album, but then it morphed into MIAMTEC. The original concept was scrapped, she recorded new songs, discarded others and TAOLG was relegated to a bonus track. According to Nick, the original "The Art of Letting Go" was classic Mariah, with powerful ballads, he described it as Mariah going back to her roots, but that never happened.

Article: Track list revealed for Mariah's new album (102,508) by T from USA This is interesting and quite accurate except a few points. I wonder who got this information and do some of those songs actually exist? (Friday 7 April 2023; 23:13)

Article: Mariah Carey delays The Art Of Letting Go release (102,509) by T from USA Not sure how delaying it added to the experience of the album. In hindsight maybe a July 2013 would've been the best idea. (Friday 7 April 2023; 23:15)

Music Box (102,507) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a beautiful and great post. "Every night I had my headphones on and fell asleep listening to that song." I did the same with Everything Fades Away, I thought I were the only one back then. I became a fan with "Daydream", "Music Box" was my second album I bought and I loved it right away, still do. I get nostalgic while listening, because of all the reasons you mentioned. It is such a special album, it has a quality from the first seconds to the last. It's just overwhelming. When I listen to it now, it's like back then. There's the same feelings, it goes very deep. It's hard to describe in English, but I hope you understand. I knew a German Hip-Hop producer, he loved Everything Fades Away more than anything else. Every time we listened to it, he said only Mariah with a big smile. I think that says a lot. Yes, only Mariah could do an album like Music Box at a time where all things came together perfectly. It was and is a perfect album. Not just for lambs.

Music Box (102,505) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Everything Fades Away was the last track on the European version of Music Box, and is my favourite track from the album. I first became a fan after My All and my first CD by Mariah was Butterfly. But after that I bought Daydream and a friend of me gave me her Music Box CD, for a long time Everything Fades Away was my favourite song to listen to, every night I had my headphones on and fell asleep listening to that song. What I think makes Music Box such a good album, is that it's the sound many people call the classic Mariah. When I listen to songs from Music Box, it makes me nostalgic, even though I didn't listen to it when it first came out. There are a few songs that bring me back to certain moments in life, and certain eras of time. The sound of Music Box makes you nostalgic about Mariah, her image and voice, but also to the 90s and maybe a time that now seems innocent and maybe less troublesome as compared to today's world. Music Box is also what made Mariah an international act, brought her to super stardom, and the songs from that album is what non fan people remember the most. Yes, it would have been really nice to get a Music Box'esque album, but to capture the era, moment and the phenomenon that was Music Box, will be hard to do. Now I think I have to listen to Everything Fades Away. (Friday 7 April 2023; 17:15)

Music Box (102,506) by Edward from USA Music Box is what I call a perfectly balanced album, 10 tracks, no waste. Even Everything Fades Away is brilliant. As I stated, MIAM have some great songs and vocal moments, but the sound is mostly dated and depressing. I hide all the knives and any pointy objects when I rarely listen to it. And let's not talk about how Marian perfectly captured Children of the Corn in Super Creepy and how she sung One More Try high on helium. Tracks I still listen too are: Dedicated (those whistles are some of her best), #Beautiful, Make It Look Good (best track), You Don't Know What to Do and Meteorite.

Music Box (102,502) by Randy from USA I usually agree wit you Edward but to call MIAMTEC depressing is kinda funny. The second half of Music Box is slit your wrist fantastic. Never Forget You, Without You, Just To Hold You Once Again, All I Ever Wanted and if Sony had the balls to add Everything Fades Away it's the saddest thing since Terms of Endearment. All MC albums are sad to me. That's why I connect. I think MIAMTEC is her worst album but not because it's depressing. It's incoherent and her vocals sound like they were produced by AI.

Music Box (102,504) by Bobby A from United States I guess we never thought that MC would keep us waiting for a new album this long. I just hope that whatever she releases is real and authentic and not another Caution. (Friday 7 April 2023; 16:27) this is a reply to message 102,501

Music Box (102,501) by Edward from USA I can assure you we all here supported her by buying the album, but put your feet on the ground and realize that MIAM didn't connect with the general public. The constant pushbacks, the messy rollout, fans are not to blame. Yes, there were some great songs and vocal moments, but the album is depressing and overproduced. I bought one for me and gifted one, I bought the singles and remixes, but I have rarely listened to the album since its release. While Caution didn't have any vocal moments, it's far superior, in my humble opinion. If you don't grow with your fans, you lose them. Her remaining fans can make much difference at this point, don't put that on us. We've been here patiently waiting for five effing years for new music, we've been supporting any hyped-up half-cooked new songs she puts out every now and then. I know she has to breastfeed the little twins, but come on. We need another Caution but with some vocal moments and more tracks. (Friday 7 April 2023; 13:24)

Music Box (102,503) by "MariahHater" from Hell Yes. No to 5 octaves but yes to to the 5th Octave. (Friday 7 April 2023; 16:19) this is a reply to message 102,492

Music Box (102,492) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, yes and yes. I won't give up that dream. It's like you said, no five octaves are needed for Mariah magic. Just melodies, lyrics, heart and soul. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 16:48)

Music Box (102,498) by Mariahsbaby from usa Sounds like The Art of Letting Go, but nobody was really here for that. I stand by the fact that MIAM was one of her best projects. She gave us vocals, musicianship, glorious melodies, hit songs, true R&B songs. Everything Mariah stands for and we all collectively paid it dust. May we support her next endeavors. (Friday 7 April 2023; 03:32)

1994 video (102,500) by JC from USA Great interview. I love how they talk about a potential classic Christmas song and then we get AIWFIY to become the staple it is. It doesn't sound like she even knew it would be from this interview, but for those that watched documentary on it, the composition was so intentional. And I love every time she mentions Miss You Most at Christmas Time, my personal favorite. (Friday 7 April 2023; 06:26) this is a reply to message 102,496

Miley Cyrus - fun challenge (102,499) by JC from USA I've been listening to the new Miley album (esp. Jaded, Violet Chemistry, and Muddy Feet). Much, much better than her last IMO. For those interested, check 1:44 on Violet Chemistry. Remind you a little bit of a specific MC track as well? It's unlikely a nod to it, but it makes me smile every time I hear it.

Music Box (102,489) by TJ from Norway Oh, how I want an album like that again. An album with melodies. Lyrics without mentioning spandex, helicopters, and stuff like that. An album with her singing. She can still make that. She doesn't need to sing with 5 octaves. No autotune. Give is the voice she still has instead of that sound. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 13:28)

Where are Mariah's songs from the vault? (102,495) by Bobby A from United States MC has to be working in the studio and just not telling us. I can't imagine she is just letting this year pass her by.

Where are Mariah's songs from the vault? (102,493) by jaker20 from US Where are those songs that she claim to exist? Where are they? Heck, what is she even doing as an artist right now? I'm glad she's happy and collecting coins during the holidays and barely doing anything else for the rest of the year, but it's sad she's barely doing anything anymore. She is lowkey lazy. I mean Elton John is 20 years older than her and is barely singing on his collabs and people eat it up. Because you know why? Because that's what he does, he's an artist, he creates music, he collaborates, he has ideas that he puts into his art. He's not a wine merchant or selling liquor or perfume. Is Mariah trying to be Rihanna? Mariah can literally just whisper throughout a song and do some creative samples of her hits, and it will give lambs something to stan and follow her with, and she can't even do that. I mean her giving Its A Wrap some attention brought back Memoirs to the new gen that it's literally her top most streamed album right now. All she needs to do is something. The bar for her to do something, anything as a artist is so low, and she can't even do that. Heck, she can barely walk. I'm so annoyed. (Thursday 6 April 2023; 20:07)
