7 songs one billion streams (103,915) by Bill from the UK I hear you. The Late Night Valentine's Mix of We Belong Together was great, so something along those lines I could get on board with. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 22:29) this is a reply to message 103,914

7 songs one billion streams (103,914) by jaker20 from US I'm thinking more of like a re-imagined versions, or cover of her own songs, again like the Fantasy ballad, or if BER was her own idea. I agree that straight rerecording won't work for obvious reasons, but re-imaging her songs in creative ways seem to rub off really well on rediscovering her catalog. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 21:15)

7 songs one billion streams (103,906) by Bill from the UK I think the absolute last thing Mariah should be doing is re-recording perfect 90s songs with 2023 vocals. I'm still in recovery from hearing that dreadful re-recording of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) from the Christmas special. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 07:07)

7 songs one billion streams (103,913) by Stacey from USA It could be that during the Daydream era, all her issues with Tommy hit their climax. Maybe one reason why MC doesn't talk about Daydream much is not wanting to remember how she felt during that era. Ether way, I love Daydream. I'm glad she recorded the album.

7 songs one billion streams (103,902) by Edward from USA I hadn't really pay much attention, but Mariah really doesn't seem to care much about Daydream. She acts as if it doesn't exist. She very rarely even mentions it. Daydream is very special to me because it's the album that drew me back to her after listening to Open Arms. I think she got so invested in it that her losing all her Grammy nominations made her block it out. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 19:22)

7 songs one billion streams (103,912) by Stacey from USA It's nice to see the best album ever get some love. Looking In is my life's theme song. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 18:46) this is a reply to message 103,903

7 songs one billion streams (103,903) by Norman from USA Same. Daydream has so many faves and one of my top 3 Favorites of hers: Looking In. I recently read a few tweets where people expressed preferring songs like Thirsty, A No No, Caution, and the such over songs like Fantasy, ABMB, The Roof, and WBT. I know it's all subjective, but those fans confuse me. Daydream is such a vibe and songs like UTS, IAF, and MA deserve so much more general recognition. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 23:40)

7 songs one billion streams (103,911) by Stacey from USA If that's true, it will be very interesting come 2025 to see what MC does when Daydream turns 30. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 18:44) this is a reply to message 103,902

7 songs one billion streams (103,910) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right, she seemed often unhappy/unsecure during that time. "Looking in" says it all. But she also had a magic aura which I loved. The concert in NY was phenomenal. Anyway the pressure of being on top of the music throne, the envy of many while she broke record after record with the sales and number ones. The controlling Tommy. Maybe there are a lot of bad memories, I'm sure this is one reason Daydream is not so praised by herself. I became a fan because of Daydream, so I will love it forever.

7 songs one billion streams (103,909) by Bobby A from United States Just maybe Daydream was the start of Walter A's betrayal that causes MC to want to forget about it the era. Tommy probably said no to a lot of the songs that strayed away from the MC and Walter A hit formula. He probably hated the fact that the young woman he discovered was challenging his vision for her career. And let's not forget about how much he hated the idea of OBD working with MC. Daydream probably reminds MC of some uncomfortable feelings during that era. Many interviews during the Daydream show MC looking very uncomfortable and nervous. Tommy's reigns were causing MC some emotional insecurities. Check them out on YouTube. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 12:43)

7 songs one billion streams (103,908) by MusicfanJ from Germany Caution is good, but Daydream is really on another sphere. Daydream is a blockbuster part two. Andrew named Music Box a "blockbuster" I loved that comparison. So I use it here. "Fantasy" alone is one of the best fun pop songs that exists. It's genius. I will never get tired of it. There is a reason why Daydream caused Mariah mania in 95 and 96. Maybe the Grammy debacle still frustrates her, I don't know. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 11:59)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,907) by Jamie from UK Just seen Mariah is due to appear on Jimmy Kimmel show on 2nd November. I wonder if she will announce something then? (Sunday 29 October 2023; 10:05)

7 songs one billion streams (103,904) by jaker20 from US After Memoirs, I feel like Mariah only cared about Butterfly. And then after Merry Christmas took off, she cared ever less about that as well, and she's all about Christmas. It's only recently that she seems supportive of Daydream. And also I would say around 2019 and 2011, and the success of Free Guy pushed it further. There's an incredible Fantasy ballad cover in that movie, and I wished she had done that herself. But before that, she was all about Butterfly in the last 15 years. I think it is because of all her most successful albums, that's the one that she actually "owns", creatively and literally, as in masters and all. When I check Wikipedia, she's most credited as lyricist of that entire album. I'm not sure though, that's just my suspicion. But she definitely should do more. Like covers of her own songs or lend them to soundtracks. I had wished what Taylor Swfit is doing now, that is, re-recording her albums was Mariah's idea. Because her voice has changed, she could have covered her own songs 10-8 years ago in the keys and notes of her move current voice. There's a lot of magic in those songs that the public should be reminded of. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 02:18)

Something new for Christmas is coming (103,905) by Bobby A from United States Mimi will be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live November 2nd. Will she make an announcement about something new for Christmas in addition to the Christmas shows? Her appearance fits right with my timing of an announcement that something new is coming for Christmas. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 02:20) this is a reply to message 103,900

Something new for Christmas is coming (103,900) by Bobby A from United States I just feel MC is about to unwrap something new for Christmas that is going to be released in November. She is going to make the announcement the day after Halloween. The last four years MC has released something new for Christmas. 2022 - Fall In Love At Christmas - vinyl remixes 2021 - Fall In Love At Christmas - MC's store and Target exclusive 2020 - Oh Santa featuring Ari and JHud 2019 - Merry Christmas Deluxe Edition My prediction: A new Christmas song featuring a very popular male artist right now. Kenny Lattimore? (Saturday 28 October 2023; 06:36)

7 songs one billion streams (103,901) by Andrew from the UK I am genuinely shocked Fantasy never gets the audience it deserves. Everyone loves it. I think it may have something to do with Mariah literally ignoring it for 20 years. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 07:21)

7 songs one billion streams (103,898) by jaker20 from US Mariah now has 7: AIWFCIY, WBT, I Know What You Want, Always Be My Baby, When You Believe, Without You, and Hero. Obsessed is almost there, as well as Christmas Baby Please Come Home, and surely Fantasy, Touch My Body, making it 11. Up there with Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Ariana and Taylor. She's the only pre-2000 female with this kind of streaming power. Talk about a catalog full of classics. (Friday 27 October 2023; 21:07)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,895) by Will from England Mariah does like to have her albums with a tongue in cheek title every now and then, I suppose if we were to count the re-released deluxe Merry Christmas album as her third, Merry Christmas II You II would be perfect as it would be her fourth one. (Friday 27 October 2023; 16:50)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,896) by Libra Lamb from USA Merry Christmas 4 All would also be funny and fitting. She can do no wrong when it comes to album titles, except for Me. I Am Mariah, the Elusive Chanteuse, which is my least loved album and title. That one could have easily been Elusive Chanteuse or Me, I Am Mariah. I Want to Know What Love is was exquisite.

Merry Christmas to you too (103,893) by Edward from USA She's been overdoing the Christmas stuff with a few subpart songs here and there that have gone nowhere. She might as well work on a proper project and put it out there. Anything Christmas related she releases wouldn't overshadow AIWFCIY..

Merry Christmas to you too (103,882) by Terna from Nigeria No, just no she's over doing the Christmas thingy and it could easily backfire and have everyone tune out mentally on her Christmas offerings, including AIWFCIY. I sure hope she isn't cooking up another Christmas album. That would be overkill. The only thing Christmas themed I would want to hear from her is an official recording of "Away in a Manger" with Roe Roe and her own version of "Where are you Christmas". Mariah dear, absolutely no new Christmas albums for you. (Thursday 26 October 2023; 03:05)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,875) by Edward from USA I'm definitely down for a third Christmas album, but it should only contain new music. I don't want any new rework from past albums. I have the feeling the "theme album" she was talking about is a Christmas album, and it might be coming out soon. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 21:58)
