Beyond excited (105,454) by MC1989 from Spain Some sources are saying Mariah wrote some new verses and that they recorded a new video. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 23:20)

Conflicted (105,453) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I think so too. I am enjoying our new partnership, Mimi. Before your post this week, I saw that Ariana WBT video two weeks go. I thought it was odd that she was singing new lyrics to WBT. I guess Europe and the UK will hear it at 7pm Eastern time. Right? (Thursday 15 February 2024; 23:11) this is a reply to message 105,451

Conflicted (105,451) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok we must be brain twins because that's literally what I posted a few posts down. I have a feeling it's WBT included somehow because of that leaked snippet of Ariana singing the lyrics to WBT over a different beat, then the rumors about Mariah reworking one of her famous #1's and then finally Mariah posting on TikTok singing WBT just a few hours after Ariana announced the remix.

Conflicted (105,447) by Bobby A from United States Why do I feel WBT is a part of the remix? (Thursday 15 February 2024; 20:26)

Yes and, my thoughts (105,450) by Tevin from USA Ok, so like many of you have said on here, when I heard that there will be a new Mariah song released, I was ecstatic, but I also felt a bit conflicted, because I don't like the song Yes, And. I thought about it for a while and now I'm actually happy Mariah is doing this and here's why. 1. She is stepping outside of her comfort zone, like we have been begging for her to do for years (yes this may be a dance or club track like she's done in the past, but let's be honest, she hasn't done it in a long time). 2. She's collaborating with a female singer (one who can do crazy runs, high belts and even whistle, though not up to Mariah's level). Once again we have been asking her to do this. 3. Homewrecker or not, Ariana is still very popular and her music still sells. Once again we have been asking Mariah to work with a popular artist and no has been or up and coming artist. 4. We are finally able to see Mariah (after a very long time), work her magic with redoing a remix. Now if it's just added vocals, then I'll be happy but also disappointed, but by the sound of it, is that this will be a completely reworked song. 5. This introduces Mariah to a younger crowd outside of December. Once again we have been asking her to do this. I can go on, but the point is this, we haven't heard this remix yet, so how can we judge it before we hear it? Though I don't agree with Ariana's actions, we shouldn't criticize a remix we haven't heard yet (the "d" I ride part may not even be in the remix), also let's not be hypocrites, a very young Mariah was also in a similar situation in the past depending on how you look at things (with Tommy being married when he met Mariah). I'm not judging nor pointing fingers and honestly I don't care about what other people do, I'm just trying to make a point. I think Mariah's team is doing a good job. Get the public on your side, blow up on social media, show up to the Grammy's to appease the music academy (or whatever you call it). Start collaborating with young and established artist. Then drop your own fresh new song and possible album (I hope this last one comes true). I think with the success of Big E last year, it showed that Mariah may not be reigning in the charts nowadays, but her name does pull weight and people will tune in to listen if they can connect to the music. Ok rant over. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 21:24)

Selfish (105,448) by Tevin from USA Wow. I just listened to the Mariah AI version. I didn't like the JT version (sounded boring), but man oh man, Im loving this "Mariah" version. From what I see TikTok is eating this up too. Hopefully Mariah takes note add straight forward simplistic songs to sing, like this on her new album. Some people mentioned it sounds refreshing since there isn't a ton of back ground adlibs or crazy runs going on. My wish is for Mariah's next collaboration to be with JT, redo or do a duet on this song, and release the Yours duet with it as well (that may help people to visit Charmbracelet).

Conflicted (105,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yus. Also all things aside this will be one of her more significant collaborations. Most of her collaborations in recent times are with artists who are new or up and coming. This is with someone who is well established. I hope both their teams push it and give it a fair chance. The fact that a video is likely already made is promising enough. Ariana has great video concepts (aka Thank You, Next) and great visuals too so I'm excited to see what they came up with. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 16:48)

CD single preorder (105,446) by Carlos from Brazil I just bought my copy. I live in Brazil but a national store is importing the single here. I am happy about the new song and hopefully all the US lambs support it a lot so it can surpass the original version. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 17:31) this is a reply to message 105,423

Conflicted (105,444) by Bobby A from United States True. I think this collaboration is the one that will receive substantial radio airplay. I am excited to hear it on the morning radio shows tomorrow. The remix is like 3 minutes and 25 seconds. That is perfect for radio airplay. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 16:24)

Conflicted (105,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True, musically it's more Gaga and Madonna, but I think we'll be surprised. Mariah doesn't commit to projects she's not feeling. She must have seen potential in order to do it. And like you said we forget Mariah has been doing dance remixes with Morales and others since the 90s. While I understand some Ariantors may have wanted others, I think a lot of them will support because Ariana is so inspired by Mariah and this is her dream come true.

Not happy (105,443) by SM from Citizen of the World Yaaassss. Great post, we all need to support this song. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 15:39) this is a reply to message 105,437

Not happy (105,437) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm with you on that boat, it says "Ariana Grande with Mariah Carey", not Ariana Grande featuring Mariah Carey. So the credit will be 50-50, also I saw this morning that people are saying the remix will be an old fashioned remix which is completely reworked and that Mariah will have writing and producing credits and a verse of her own. Last but not the least guys this might be one of our last chances to get that #1 or at least get a successful song that leads to great promo for her next album, let's support our girl. The Arianators are gearing up so we should do the same. We've been asking Mariah to step out of her comfort zone and to give us something upbeat, and she's finally doing it. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 13:38)

Not happy (105,442) by darrian liu from taiwan As someone who is in the 18-24 demographic, I can say that generally, we are very open to any good music, no matter if the artist is well-established or new. The only problem is Mariah is fully promoted as a legacy artist now - and at a very specific time at that (Christmas). But take the Caution album for example - the songs itself have hit potential, it's just that the team picked the wrong singles and the promotion seemed a little lacking. The way I see it, Mariah is back in the good graces of the public, seeing how well-loved even her AI cover of the JT song I posted earlier (it is currently on its way to blowing up on TikTok), as well as just how often her back catalogue blows up on TikTok. Her songs still resonate with the public and it shows, and the public even loves her current voice (see my point about the current AI cover that is blowing up - the AI model was made with Mariah's current voice). As long as her team plays their cards right and Mariah stops being so wooden on the stage, I believe a top 10 hit might be in the works, in the shape of a catchy midtempo R&B song that our Mimi seems to love so much.

Not happy (105,440) by Shezz from Pk I think we over estimate the current market. I believe even if Mariah were to have released one of her signature hits today - bonafide hits such as Dreamlover, Always Be My Baby, Honey, My All, Fantasy etc - she would struggle to crack the top 20 of the BB Hot 100. Mass market is not going to stream or download her enough today to make her break the top 10. I hope I'm proven wrong ofcourse but I'll just be happy with new music - not holding my breath for her to receive crazy commercial success again. Which is why I feel she has not been putting out much music lately - general audience not loving her enough anymore plus lack of label support/faith in her. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 14:05)

Conflicted (105,438) by Shezz from Pk Whereas Madonna or Gaga would've been better suited for the remix of this particular song, I believe we underestimate how versatile Mariah is and how she not only reinvented remixes but she has some amazing resung dance remixes. Also I agree Mimi L, I think they genuinely do like each other and a smart move on Mariah's part definitely. I'm not counting on this song being her 20th n1. I don't think the remix will take over the original and there won't be so much love from Arianators as with a new single. Also, apparently half of Ariana's fanbase isn't happy about Mariah being on the remix, they wanted someone else. Nonetheless I am still super excited to hear it tomorrow. She definitely will elevate it like she did Big Energy. I fear it might meet the same fate chartwise. Still, will be good to get some more spotlight on Mariah. Looks like her new single will drop a month or so later now. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 13:51)

An AI Mariah cover of JT (105,439) by Shezz from Pk I love it. I would've been over the moon if this were her first single off MC16. I also feel it is very Mariah. Which makes me wonder. Wouldn't this sound mean that she's continuing in her same mid tempo R&B comfort zone though? I believe she will experiment and explore different sounds but I don't think she'll stray too far from who she is as an artist. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 13:58) this is a reply to message 105,432

Conflicted (105,426) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am also not a huge fan of the song really but chances are it'll be a reworked remix. Now about Mariah and Ariana not liking each other, my opinion is it's not true. Ariana clearly idolizes Mariah and this isn't new. Even in her documentary she gets emotional when Mariah's team contacts her to be on her video. And as for Mariah, I feel like she doesn't really bother to mingle with people she doesn't care for. In the beginning she probably wasn't pleased because of the blatant "next Mariah" label that was pushed for Ariana's launch. But over the years I think that changed. Lastly in my opinion at this point everything is fair game, the music industry is no longer the same, you gotta play the game so if Mariah is using her connections to gain newer audience, then why not? In fact it's smart right before the next album. It's smart business move. Also I don't know how true this is but I saw somewhere that it's actually the opposite and because Ariana got a lot of recent backlash for getting with Ethan Slater she lost goodwill and her single didn't do well (despite being #1) so they're bringing on Mariah to boost Ariana too. Mariah still has a lot of pull whenever Ariana and Mariah are mentioned together it does lead to a lot of publicity so I think it is benefitting them both. Why else would Ariana push this so hard with the physical CDs, the coordinated profile picture change, a rumored live performance? (Thursday 15 February 2024; 01:54)
