Missed opportunity singles It's a Wrap (102,221) by Matty from Vancouver Canada

Lambs have long lamented over missed single opportunities, Migrate being the most obvious because it entered the charts without being an official single. With the recent success of Its A Wrap, [wouldn't] it have been great if It's a Wrap was the [second single] after Obsessed? Obsessed, It's a Wrap, UOMF remix, and then finishing the singles list with Angles Cry (the always needed Mariah ballad) would have really expressed the overall album vibe perfectly. I wonder if the label regrets not releasing It's A Wrap now in 2023?

Do you all think we will get a Rarities 2 this year?

SuperBowl Halftime Show (102,219) by Bobby A from United States

MC could have definitely done a better job than what RiRi did. All of that hype for bad lip syncing and a pregnancy reveal. Wow. Who is managing RiRi now - Flavor Flav. Lol. I guess we can forget about R9 until 2026 now.

SuperBowl Halftime Show (102,218) by jaker20 from US

I agree. With Rihanna's lack of effort performance, Mariah can definitely do better. I remember that "It's Like That" performance in BET. She likes that queen glamour spectacle. Mimi can even lip better, she's so good at it, that sometimes you can't even tell. Rihanna didn't seem to care, like at all. So yes, I'm here for it.

SuperBowl Halftime Show (102,217) by T from USA

Mariah could do it with the right amount of imagination. Stadium goes completely black, then the flood lights, then a light sprinkling of artificial snow as the opening chords of AIWFCIY starts. Interrupted by a loud "it's time" which leads right into ODB's Fantasy remix intro. Can splice up Obsessed, I Know What You Want, Honey, and It's Like That. Do a little ABMB and WBT and end with either Hero or a hologram of Whitney where she duets on When You Believe. It would be epic. Done right it would showcase her catalogue but also how Iconic she is. Outfit: no dresses, just her black pants and top she had for the Daydream album cover. Slip on a faux fur coat for a song or two but keep it simple. Maybe come out with a Santa hat at the beginning before whipping it off, as a melting metaphor.

New songs (102,216) by T from USA

Everyone who is saying she hasn't given us anything since Caution need to remember that since Caution we've been given: The Rarities, In The Mix, Somewhat Loved, Fall In Love At Christmas, BE(R), etc.

Super Bowl (102,215) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Absolutely. I don't need a circus dance number with fireworks. I need new music from Mariah. Jazz or just a new album. At least The Rarities 2. I'm even interested in her hidden Daydream era grunge album.

Yes. A thousand times yes. I love this song. Such a hauntingly beautiful song. I'd love to see You Don't Know What To Do get the same treatment.

Super Bowl (102,212) by Nicole from US

I hope next year someone offers Mariah a halftime show and pressure her to perform and dance like there's no tomorrow. At this point, the only way for Mimi to get back in the game is to surprise with something unexpected. Come on. Make Tanaka work just for a day. Lol.

Song of the Summer (102,209) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain

That was my favorite song of the 2008 summer. I always used to play it when I got dressed and ready to go out. It's so uplifting. This comment refers to I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time.

It's A Wrap EP (102,208) by Terna from Nigeria

I just listened to it on YouTube. This is so random and in a good way, for an obscure song such as this one to go viral and spin off a TikTok challenge. Lol, shows a new generation is discovering her back catalogue and that can only be a good thing.

It's A Wrap EP (102,205) by JC from USA

While I have little hope of the song ascending to the top 10, I love the Edit Version. Much more radio friendly and, musically, love the bass at the :07 mark and scaling back the instrumental over some lyrical highlights (ex Maury Povich).

I always this song was cute and humorous. I like a light hearted Mariah (cue the chuckle at the end).

Song of the Summer (102,204) by Tevin from USA

Maybe this is wishful thinking but the song that I feel never got a fair shot for how good it is, is [I'll be loving you long time]. It reminds me of a modern day version of [Always be my baby]. I wish we could get just for that song this year and make it a song of the Summer.

It's A Wrap EP (102,203) by Tevin from USA

Do you guys think Mariah is planning on singing this live again soon (maybe at the Lovers and Friends event), even though that may be too far in the future? Anyway I could be looking at this wrong, but I noticed in the "Edit" version, she cuts off a couple of the really high belt parts and some of the whistles. Maybe a sign that she might try to perform this live? What do you all think?

Also I hope she can drop a video. This has blown up on TikTok and there are so many young people aka under 18 who hardly know anything about Mariah other than Christmas. At least that's what I noticed by the comments that people have made on TikTok. I mean even the massive songs such as WBT and The E of Mimi is almost 20 years old. Other than a big chuck of young people on TikTok. It's crazy to believe how time flies.

Also we should put on Twitter that Mariah should release Angels Advocate.

Island/Def Jam is apart UMG. Memoirs was released on Island/Def Jam. Check out their website and menu bar. Someone on here said that she should rejoin the label.

It's A Wrap EP (102,200) by Libra Lamb from USA

I'm glad to see Mariah getting a lot of attention for a song that is over a decade old, besides AIWFCIY. Whoever said Mariah is not relevant until Christmas is delusional. The thing is, her discography has so many gems like this one and the children don't even know it yet, but they are slowly discovering her music. She's been slept on by the general public since TEOM and I think people are starting to crave real music again because the radio and top 40 is mostly hot garbage. She is and will always be the queen. All hail Mariah.

Mariah with UMG (102,199) by T from USA

I've been saying for a while that Mariah should sign back up with Universal and continue her legacy from Charmbracelet to MIAMTEC. She's done everything she can do with Sony at this point, including securing AIWFCIY as her 19th #1 hit. This would be a chance for her to work her other albums properly. Also without a major label there will be no appetite for a new album unfortunately. Labels have A&R people who link her up with great songs and producers. (Think #Beautiful with Miguel.) Without a label she has to do all the reaching out and all the paying for it herself. I just can't see that happening. Maybe a whole album with JD and Daniel Moore, but that's about it. A&R departments have their ears to the streets and know what's up.

Mariah with UMG (102,198) by "MariahHater" from Hell

I saw the release credits for IAW and she is partnered with UMG. Let me know if this [is] part of Sony or another label. [I'm] confused with this.

Release IAW music video and get that 20 #1 (102,197) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia

She needs to take advantage of this viral song. Pay someone great to direct the music video, Mariah can use her own money if there's no budget from her label. Release the live performance of IAW from that Lopez show. Maybe this is the last chance we have to secure her 20 #1.
