2005 (112,481) by Bobby A from United States I think he couldn't reinvent MC's career now being out of her life for so long. MC needs an up and coming business-minded CEO to manage her career. The music business is really challenging for a lot of R&B artists right now because they have managers who are not marketing the whole artist anymore. Their mindset today is to release a couple of singles for streaming success and then drop the album one year later hoping for huge album numbers. Summer Walker's Finally Over It is really suffering from this business strategy. (Monday 24 November 2025; 12:52) this is a reply to message 112,480

Some say that's tough (112,479) by Lambi from USA Someone said "oooh", I think Bobby A is correct, sounded like Daniel Moore was giving her props for writing such a great lyric. Also, "Someone said that's tough" is probably inspired by Rocky. Gen Z boys always comment "dats tuff" when something goes hard on social media and I agree. "And thank the Lord I lived to see the physical embodiment of love" is pretty "tuff". The next line, "But when you leave, you take away a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me" is also pretty dang tuff and profound. I understand it even more now because her book discussed how Mariah's body really went through the ringer while being pregnant with the twins. Poisonous edema, gestational diabetes and she gained a hundred pounds. She quite literally couldn't have loved harder physically. It's pure labor of love. I think Mara was correct about the song's first stanzas being about Dem Kids leaving to be with Nick for the weekend or something. That would be pretty heavy for MC, considering that they're truly the only ones who's shown her unconditional love, it's deep. Letting go ain't easy.

Some say that's tough (112,478) by Bobby A from United States Lambi was trying to figure it out too on October 1st . I think HFIA was recorded in multiple parts over 3 years and that part was the best take. So, MC decided to include Daniel's hot mic part. (Monday 24 November 2025; 02:00)

Some say that's tough (112,477) by Edward from USA While listening to "Here For It All", I noticed a brief distortion that sounds like a sped-up, slightly warped male voice, almost the way a CD glitches for a split second. At first I thought it was just my copy, but I checked the YouTube lyric video and the distortion is there as well. It happens right after she finishes the line: "Some say that's tough." And for some reason, once I heard it, I can't unhear it. Every time I listen, it jumps out at me. Can any of you hear it as well? Do you think it's intentional, part of the production, or does it sound like someone saying something in the background? If you can make out what that brief sound/voice might be, I'd love to know. If you can't hear it, I think it's time for me to check my meds and get them right. (Monday 24 November 2025; 01:18)

A little life update (112,475) by Lambi from USA Congrats Mimi L. You have been heaven blessed. Raising a child is the most rewarding and there is not a job more significant (I have 4 nephews, 2 nieces). Family truly is so sacred. "We're the only thing that's true." I am so elated for you, darling. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 13:49) this is a reply to message 112,447

A little life update (112,447) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wanted to share some good news with my little MCA family, it's also the reason I've been MIA mostly the past few months. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, a little baby girl. You best believe she will be introduced to Mariah really early on so we will have a baby lamb joining the lambily soon. Who knows down the line Eric may have a new member join this board haha. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Promise I won't be influenced by Nick Cannon's baby names. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 12:44)

I won't allow it (112,474) by Lambi from USA "He can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others." I lied, I didn't think it was possible but I did somehow find another reason to dislike him even more. He's literally so ghetto. He got to level up with Mariah and experience the grandiosity of life but he basically chose to go back to the projects and do hoot rat shit. Could've been jets on holidays and chefs with hollandaise but Nick will forever love his Chick-fil-A. All of his baby mamas have the same mold too. Instagram addicted models that are attention starved. I truly do not understand why they would even entertain the idea of pro-creating with someone who treats relationships this way or why they'd want to be part of his rotation. The dynamic is impossible to justify. The money can't make up for it, and in the end, it's really the kids who will inevitably have to suffer the consequences.

I won't allow it (112,446) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't believe at one point I wanted Mariah to get back with Nick so that her family could be whole again. She probably made the best decision leaving him. I wouldn't be surprised if they drifted apart because Nick was jealous of Mariah's fame, since he has such a big ego and of course some cheating on the side. He seems to be a very controlling person with this "harem" mentality. Because one of his baby mamas - (mom of Legendary Love) called Bre is on this reality show called Selling Sunset and she seems completely brainwashed to believe the relationship arrangement they are in is a healthy one - basically he can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others. Brainwashed is probably not the correct word because of course a lot of these women are with him due to his money and connections. Bre said she doesn't get child support because apparently after a certain number of babies you don't have to pay, but even if that's true his connections are valuable to her as she sells (or pretends to sell) luxury real estate in LA and the connections help. Anyways Nick is vile and I'm glad he's gone, just sad that for him E=MC2 didn't get a fair shot at a big success. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 12:39)

I won't allow it (112,473) by Lambi from USA Monroe was a gorgeous choice. I was iffy with Morrocan because that's like naming your kid "German" or "Ethiopian" and no one does that, also neither Mariah nor Nick is Moroccan. I get he proposed in the Moroccan room so it holds some meaning, they also liked it because it rhymes with "Rakim" but I would've just chosen Rakim. Rak N Roe would've still worked. Moroccan eventually just became Rocky though, so it's not that bad. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 13:04) this is a reply to message 112,435

I won't allow it (112,435) by Edward from USA Naming a boy Legendary Love is diabolical. But instead of blaming Nick, I blame the baby mamas who let him choose those hideous names. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 01:05)

AIWFC and In Your Feelings (112,472) by jaker20 from US Some thoughts: I think at the very least, AIWFCIY get at least 1 week on top this year, tying the record. But it will be very close this year. Last Christmas nearly beat it on Thursday, and it's close again yesterday. Bruno Mars: I don't understand why lambs are spreading this bs, it's not going to happen. In Your Feelings is doing well on urban radio but those are pay for play. They're not organic. I think if they want to push it as a single, they should do it after the holidays. Right now, it is hurting AIWFCIY this year, her team is not focused and neither are fans. The more they push In Your Feelings right now, the more both will fail. Last year, she had promos and photoshoots about the new vinyl covers, there was a lot from her during the first weeks of November. But this year, because of HFIA, Mariah is likely already worn out and you can feel it from the lack of activity from her and her team. And that slight dip of push from her team have a big impact on algorithms for AIWFC. We'll see. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 04:23) this is a reply to message 112,469

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,469) by T from USA It's Time... to let the Christmas thing go and do its own thing. I actually prefer the it's time announcement and that's it in terms of promoting AIWFCIY. Less is more now. The song has gone to #1 for eighteen weeks. After this year she will own the record for longest #1 hit, that's enough for me. Even if it never hits the top spot again after this year that will be okay and the song will always be legendary. HFIA suffered not from the long wait but from Christmas itself. That's all people want from Mariah, and all she wants is you. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 14:15)

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,471) by Zachariah from Croatia I noticed that as well and said to myself, where is she these days?Either she is cooking something or else. Caution was a good album but HFIA is better but again, wrong singles (Play This Song ) with a boring video and Sugar Sweet (without a video) messed up everything. I don't wanna see of hear In Your Feeling as a next single with Bruno Mars on it. Enough with duets. I want Nothing Is Impossible with an amazing video right before Christmas. Or, she should just go crazy and release a grunge album with her as Bianca. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 18:12) this is a reply to message 112,468

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,468) by Bobby A from United States You know it is funny that MC has been really quiet on social media since her "It's Time" video. Her Las Vegas Christmas shows begin November 28 and she has not promoted it at all. And it was reported across multiple social media websites and ABC news that she is worried that AIWFCiY may underperform this year. Do you think MC is feeling the effects of HFIA's lukewarm sales and chart performance? Caution and its singles were still on everyone's mind for at least 6 months after the album's release. I am sure Gamma has already formally reduced MC's contract payout to get back the label's negative overhead cost for HFIA's low sales numbers. A seven year absence and the wrong choice of producers may be what caused HFIA's lukewarm sales reception. Could AiWFCIY's popularity lose its hold after this year? (Saturday 22 November 2025; 10:01)

I really want a duet with him since Bruno Mars entered the music world with his debut album. They would sound so good together. The same with John Legend, where we have at least this one live version. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 15:51)

A little life update (112,464) by Stacey from USA Absolutely. Kids do have a mind of their own. I thought I might have had a breakthrough during the summer of 2017. My kids loved listening to the "you don't know" song aka You Don't Know What To Do as we drove to swimming lessons. They were 9, 7, and 4 at the time. But alas, Minecraft, Roblox, Nintendo Switch, art, drawing, etc are more important. I will say my 17 year old daughter calls Mariah the queen of Christmas. She says no Christmas music before Halloween since "the queen hasn't thawed yet". She loved this year's It's Time video. So, all is not lost, I guess. (Friday 21 November 2025; 16:40)

A little life update (112,454) by TJ from Norway Wonderful news. My father tried to influence me on The Beatles, The Who, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Rolling Stones and so on with no luck. You can't imagine how many discussions we have had, and still have about music. I sent him some songs of SUD, and that was interesting music in his eyes. My mom hated Mariah as I grew up because of her high notes, and the fact that I played them over and over again on big speakers (sometimes hanging out of the windows so everyone in a miles radius could hear me playing All in Your Mind on repeat). Later on, like 10 years ago, she heard Hero on the radio and had to admit that Mariah was all right. Her PTSD from the 90's was long gone. Lol. I think you should hear with Stacey if she was able to transfer her "Mariah madness" on her kids, or if she failed like my father. Anyway, I wish you a healthy pregnancy and all the best. As a teacher, my advice would be: keep her away from iPads and screens for the first two years. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 18:08)
