Not happy (105,431) by Bobby A from United States

I have a feeling it is resung with new lyrics and a sampled track. Why would Mimi agree to do it if it is not what she is known for when it comes to remixes? We will find out tonight at midnight.

Thank u, next (105,429) by MusicfanJ from Germany

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately I'm not happy at all too about a feature for a Ariana song. I never liked her music and her presentation. Mariah is strong enough alone. Doing jazz music, a gospel song, a real lead single like Fantasy, Honey. So I still have to wait for new Mariah music by her own. So thank u, next becomes a whole new meaning musicwise.

Not happy (105,427) by S from England

I've been a fan for over 15 years but I'm not happy with the next collaboration. Ariana is a confirmed homewrecker and I'm a little disappointed in Mariah for doing a collab when all this has come out. Sorry that's my opinion.

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?

Conflicted (105,424) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

I should and thought I would be excited about the news of a Mariah and Ariana collaboration, but my feelings are a bit conflicted really. I actually don't think Mariah and Ariana like each other that much, and I feel Mariah only does this to get noticed more by a younger crowd, and mayby hope that it would be a hit like Big Energy (Remix). And all of those things are positive, but my gut feeling is that this remix will pass away fast. I might be wrong.

New label possibility? (105,422) by Bobby A from United States

Do you think MC has signed to Republic Records? I am hoping the collaboration is a prelude to a new label announcement.

This week (105,421) by Bobby A from United States

This is great news. These insider accounts on X must be AR reps. I am so excited to finally get a true collaboration.

Ariana Instagram (105,419) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

We must be clowning haha. I mean that's the album cover. Ariana said there'll be many album covers but would she really put Mariah on the cover of her album? I don't think so but I really can't get over how it does feel like Mariah eventhough it's just the back of the head and she hardly ever does that hair haha.

Do I just look at an insta post from Ariana on 7th Februar? It's so obvious seeing MC in that post. How did we not see it.

Thank u, next (105,417) by Zachariah from Croatia

Ariana Grande's announcement about the remix for Yes, And? forced me to go on YouTube and listen to the damn song. It is that how much I do not care about Ariana Grande. Never liked her, even on Oh Santa. I only listen to Mariah's solo version. I was hoping that this news was fake, but I guess I was wrong. I will explain and this is only my personal belief. I an old school Mariah fan. Call me delusional or whatever, but I really do not like when she is someone's feature or doing a remix, because I still think that she can stand as an artist by herself and still be relevant by herself. I am not talking here about duets or she having someone in a song (rapper or whatever). It is her being a feature on someone else's song that I am not a fan off. Especially when the song is lame and boring, such as Yes, And? Again, this is only my personal taste. I didn't like her on Latto's Big Energy - just spoiled the fantasy for me and made it cheap and vulgar. Again, my personal taste. I didn't like her doing French Montana's Unforgettable - why? What was the purpose of that? #Beautiful? I will never get over having Miguel on that song and him singing almost every thing as like she is his feature. I know I will get a lot hate for this but these are my views and I am really disappointed with this collaboration. If only the song was good. And ear candy. I just don't get it.

AG + MC = remix #1 (105,416) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I heard the rumor of that photo being Mariah after the announcement and now I can't unsee it. When I saw it before I didn't think much of it I just thought it's Ariana leaning on herself as a metaphor of her just relying on herself.

This week (105,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I saw the post 7 minutes after it was posted and just a few hours after my early morning whining on the messageboard and I squealed so hard haha. I hope we get a video. Since this is an Ariana project I'm sure they'll push it a lot. Also rumors are that the first time yes, and will be performed is this Saturday and apparently it's gonna be the remix version. I'm giddy because I'm excited it's actually true and also I have an inkling it'll be a re-recorded remix. We saw the snippet of Ariana playing with the WBT lyrics and just an hour ago Mariah posted a video of her singing WBT on TikTok. This combined with the rumors that she is reworking one of her #1's. Fingers crossed.

Ariana collab (105,414) by Terna from Nigeria

I guess it's official.

She just announced it on IG.

Ari just posted and tagged MC on Instagram that indeed a collab is happening.

This week (105,412) by Bobby A from United States

I sure do miss MC posting those pics in the studio during previous eras. At least we knew she was working on something. Well, three weeks until Ariana's new album and I don't think too many of her fans are excited for its release.

AG + MC = remix #1 (105,411) by Norman from USA

Wow. Okay, so it's happening. You can preorder a copy there. There's also a cover for the vinyl single or something else that has Ariana with her back towards us leaning against a taller woman (MC?) who's also wearing a ponytail.

A storm is brewing.

Apparently out this Friday.

Is that Mariah? (105,410) by jaker20 from US

I don't mind Mariah staying in her lane, and bring predictable. She bring her usual style, and just put a slight new twist or flavor to it. Like this Selfish AI sounds like something Mariah would make, that is why its being embraced by lambs.

Right now, her bigger problem is that she's not even in any lane because she's not releasing anything at all.

Frankly I was so disappointed when she let January pass without anything. I thought there was going to be some surprise release, but nothing. It's all just lambs talking about MC16 which I don't even know where that came from.

What that means is, if she can't capitalize on her annual buzz (which by the way, she's the only artist who have this luxury), that means she can't and unable to capitalize on anything. This is now her 4th year she wasted since AIWFCIY went to no.1, she seems comfortable now to just be a Christmas artist.

Sad really. Now I get why some lambs hated this Christmas trend. It made her lazier than she already is.

Yes And Remix (105,408) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Y'all it's happening. I'm about to pass out haha, I'm literally this meme from The Office. The note Ariana wrote to accompany the announcement, so sweet and heartfelt.

I didn't notice at first but both Mariah and Ariana updated their profile pictures to just their eyes, which is interesting and also there will be physical copies of this remix. This sounds like a lot of planning went into it which is exiting. Ariana has bubbles, hearts and butterflies in the caption, now Butterfly is for MC but anyone knows what the bubbles and heart means? The new picture of the 2 of them is stunning and although Ariana's recent behavior is questionable lol it must be fabulous to have your idol be on your song. The interesting thing is yes and is quite literally Madonna's style I'm surprised Ariana went with Mariah and that Mariah hopped on it. I wonder if this will be one of those re-recorded remixes with a different vibe. The insider accounts mentioned Ariana's new album with be very MC inspired and also that MC fans of re-recorded vocals will be fed soon. Ok ok I'm done rambling for now. I'll probably be back once I let this sink in haha.

Is that Mariah? (105,407) by Brandon from USA

I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. MC has placed herself in the R&B midtempo box that she needs to break out of if she wants any chance at chart success. There are so many new producers/cowriters that would love to work with her. MC has a bad habit of trying to recreate songs/sounds that she's done before. (How many WBT clones has she recreated?) She also should collaborate with who's hot right now (Ariana, Wkend, Justin Timberlake, Dustin Lipa, Drake, etc). She needs to update her sound, look, visuals, and everything. There should be a new energy similar to what she had during the Mimi era. I really feel like MC still has what it takes to hit number 1 with a non Christmas song but it will not be with the same r&b midtempos that she keeps putting out.

P.S. If I never hear Save the Day again, I'll be a happy person lol.
