About Giovanni from USA: Big music lover who loves Mimi.

2026 Grammys person of the year (112,012) by Giovanni from USA So apparently Mariah will be honored and was named person of the year at next year's Grammy awards. I'm so happy for her. In my opinion this is good for her career and can help with the next album. Hopefully she will be respected and more liked again by those who don't. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 20:00)

The impossible (111,990) by Giovanni from USA Didn't mean to trash "H.A.T.E U" I just don't like it. I think the video could have been better too but you're right the album is definitely good and I can't believe I hated it before. I think the reason I like "Imperfect" is because of the music and production. HFIA reminds me a lot of MOAIA with songs like "In your feelings", Confetti & Champagne" and "Nothing is impossible". I also played "Obsessed" a few times because it's catchy and heck Mariah looks good. I like "Obsessed" because it's the song that broke Eminem and he has never been the same since. I just needed "Languishing" to be longer. (Sunday 19 October 2025; 21:13) this is a reply to message 111,985

The impossible (111,985) by Anonymous from USA Personally I love H.A.T.E.U, the entire album was really good and well packaged. My least favorite song, Imperfect, did not make the cut. We really need a part two for the Memoirs album. (Sunday 19 October 2025; 14:44)

The impossible (111,981) by Giovanni from USA All of a sudden I've become addicted to "The impossible". I have a new love for MOAIA minus "H.A.T.E U". I think it's the worst song on the album but "The impossible", "Candy bling" and "Standing O". I would like to ask Mariah why "Imperfect" did not make the album as it would have ended it perfectly. It's funny how an album will grow on you all these years later. (Sunday 19 October 2025; 08:21)

Christian Aguilera (111,980) by Giovanni from USA Oh okay got it, I always love reading your posts. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 23:52) this is a reply to message 111,973

Christian Aguilera (111,973) by Lambi from USA Jaker20 said Christina's got a Christmas concert movie coming up and it will be released theatrically. She beat Mariah to it. Then I suggested Mariah do kind of a docu-movie and a part of it will be how Christmas helped her forgive Walter. It's all make believe. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 16:33)

Christian Aguilera (111,966) by Giovanni from USA I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. What is going on with Christina? Also I miss your old avatar pic haha, change it back. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 09:19) this is a reply to message 111,965

Christian Aguilera (111,965) by Lambi from USA My gosh, is she the grinch that will steal Christmas from Mariah? So sneaky. My epiphany about Mimi's push towards AIWFCIY just made me understand why she wanted to copyright Queen of Christmas. Not only is it an infinity money glitch but it will keep Sony reminded, as long as she is alive, she will provide her pound of flesh, so they better leave her alone. I have this concept for Mariah, maybe a docu movie and a part of it would be to incorporate how Christmas helped her forgive Walter. I don't know how it'll go but at the end, friends pull some strings and have Walter do a gig, then Mariah secretly comes in from the back and starts humming, all the memories of them writing songs together rush back to him and he can't help but be overjoyed and cry. It would add so much more meaning to Christmas and it truly would the greatest reconciliation of all time. Wishful thinking though, but I hope this moment happens during their lifetime. Maybe writing it will somehow make it come to existence. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 05:11)

Philippines (111,963) by Giovanni from USA It's really something I have never seen the level of love for her in any country like there in the Philippines. If I was a singer with that level of love there I would record a secret album just for them to show how much I appreciate them. HFIA has done well there so I can just imagine how MC17 will do when it's released. Does anyone think Mariah has more music that she's saving for the next album?

Philippines (111,957) by jaker20 from US Wow, the lamb fandom there is on another level. They know every deep cuts lyrics to a T. (Friday 17 October 2025; 19:16)

Here for it All (111,959) by Giovanni from USA Are you saying Mariah will win a Grammy? (Friday 17 October 2025; 21:07) this is a reply to message 111,941

Here for it All (111,941) by Bobby A from United States Nothing is possible. Her second come back is coming. I say this because so many things will happen like her autobiographical project and recognition finally by the Grammies. I just feel it in my soul. (Friday 17 October 2025; 11:20)

Philippines (111,938) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is a superstar and well loved and respected in the Philippines, they absolutely adore her over there. I saw some clips and she looked amazing and sounded good, she was really trying especially with "Emotions" and I give her credit. I would never ever waste time singing that song at my shows because it's that hard. Her show was sold out so I wanna give a big thanks to the Philippines for their love and support to our Mariah Carey. (Friday 17 October 2025; 06:28)

Mariah songs that deserved a Grammy (111,931) by Giovanni from USA Emotions Hero Fantasy One sweet day Honey My all Thank God I found you Don't forget about us Beautiful They did Mariah so wrong and it's time they made up for it. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 23:42)

Here for it All (111,929) by Giovanni from USA Your post has me excited but even if it's true what difference would it make? Mariah could release the best song or best album she's ever made however the team she has and a majority her fans gone and not being a streaming artist how is she gonna top the charts? I will still support her regardless and still want her to make music but I feel her number one days are over. Mariah can still make what she wants but she should turn to gospel and sing for God. It would benefit her so much and keep her relevant. Hopefully "Jesus I do" makes it to number one and gets a Grammy nomination. I hope Gamma can make it happen.

Here for it All (111,910) by Bobby A from United States After listening to HFIA today, I couldn't help but compare it to what Charmbracelet was for MC. Charmbracelet came after a traumatic period in MC's life and the passing of her father, Alfred Roy Carey. Charmbracelet was the precursor album to one of the biggest comeback albums of all time. HFIA is MC's Charmbracelet in 2025. TEOM II is coming in 2027. I just know it will happen. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 06:56)

Muni Long and Mariah "Made for me" (111,927) by Giovanni from USA How the hell am I just now hearing this song? I'm on Spotify streaming "Jesus I do" and this song follows up after a Lady Gaga song. I love it, Mariah did her thing. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 21:29) this is a reply to message 111,910

Barrio Boyzz (111,926) by Giovanni from USA I wonder if the Barrio Boyzz had become more popular in the English market and been managed better would Mariah had worked with them. To me they deserved better and were the latino version of Boyz II Men. They have an album they recorded in '95 called How We Roll and it's one of my favorite r&b albums and in my opinion deserved a Grammy nomination. I could always hear them singing on "One sweet day" or "Thank God I found you". I wish they got their big break every artist or group gets to take off and be successful. I know Mariah would have liked their voices and r&b flavor. In another world they did and Mariah still has her Butterfly voice. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 21:26)

Confetti & Champagne (111,925) by Giovanni from USA I really like this song even though I don't drink champagne I just wish it wasn't so short. It sounds more like a prelude than a song. The music and production sounds like something from 2009,in fact it sounds like something that would have fit perfectly on Lady Gaga's The Fame or The Fame Monster album. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 21:15)

2025 (111,858) by Giovanni from USA Thank you for that information jaker20. It seems like 2025 has not been the year for music and it feels dead with so many artists flopping. HFIA is definitely one of the best albums of 2025 in my opinion and I hope Mariah doesn't abandon it just yet. I would like if she performed "Jesus I do" and "Nothing is impossible" at her Christmas shows. I'm not the only one who believes her team is awful and pretty useless. She needs better people especially to help with social media. I also wish Mariah had a better manager. Benny Medina was great but he is currently JLo's manager lol. JLo's music career is pretty much over, her last album sold less than 15,000 copies so Mariah sold more than This Is Me flop. Also her new movie seems to be bombing at the box office so I wonder what's left next for JLo?Mariah is an actual legend and icon, music royalty who still has a lot to offer. I may be selfish but I never want her to stop recording songs. I would like her to rest more, maybe take a break after December and spend time with her kids because she has been working so much this year. (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 08:58)

In your feelings / Imperfect (111,838) by Giovanni from USA I don't know about y'all but "In your feelings" reminds so much of MOAIA. I used to hate that album but now I've come to like it. What always bothered me was the song "Imperfect" not making the album. It definitely deserved to be there. (Monday 13 October 2025; 09:12)

Jesus I do (111,837) by Giovanni from USA I hope those who like the song will stream it as much as you can on Spotify as I do. The fact that it's currently at #5 on the Gospel chart is amazing. I hope the song reaches number one and is nominated for a Grammy. Kirk Franklin is a Gospel legend with 20 Grammys to his name which is pretty impressive. I would love for Mariah to work with him. I enjoy their Christmas song with Khalid "Fall in love at Christmas". (Monday 13 October 2025; 09:01)

Here for it all (111,835) by Giovanni from USA Is a solid and cohesive album by MC. I'm glad she recorded it and believe she tried her best to promote it. I'm a little disappointed by the sales but at this point Mariah has nothing to prove, is past her prime and I think she's going to keep recording regardless which is fine with me. I can't wait for the next album and I heard she won't wait too long to release it. I think going 7 years without any new music was definitely too long and a mistake. My favorite songs are "Jesus I do", "In your feelings", "Nothing is impossible" and "Here for it all". One thing this album shows is that Mariah still has her pen game and I can't wait for more new songs in the future. I'm very proud of her for still showing us that she's still one of the best music artists and song writers of our time. (Monday 13 October 2025; 08:50)

Jesus I do (111,474) by Giovanni from USA Trust me this is the one I'm most excited to hear and it's going to be one of Mariah's best tracks from the album. Jay Valentine already made it clear it's going to be good so I cannot wait. (Friday 26 September 2025; 01:36)

Negative reviews (111,473) by Giovanni from USA Means nothing to me, when you give TEOM 3 stars that tells me everything I need to know about your taste. We all know that album is 5 stars and a 10/10 and Mariah definitely deserved the Grammy for AOTY. People have to remember there are many in the industry and editorial boards still to this day who hate Mariah and don't want her to break The Beatles record or be successful. I already know HFIA is going to be one of Mariah's best albums but before I give it a listen I will be listening to Caution. I'm curious where are y'all purchasing your physical copy if you haven't already ordered? I'm thinking of buying mine at Walmart lol I just don't like Target anymore and haven't been in one in years. (Friday 26 September 2025; 01:31)

Promo (111,445) by Giovanni from USA The promo for the album has been good so far and I feel MC is only getting started. She did look tired in the Gayle King interview so I hope she gets plenty of rest. I know "Play this song" is going to immediately be sent to radio on Friday so I hope everyone will be streaming and playing the video on YouTube. Mariah deserves her next number one and hit record. I do think Here for it all will reach number one on the r&b chart but on the Billboard it's questionable. There have been so many artists who have released albums and they flopped bad and didn't even chart at all. I don't think that will happen with Mariah. "Play this song" sounds promising and with her label behind her she could very well have the album chart decent. Also I heard there is something in the works with SZA, either a collab or a remix. 2025 might be Mariah's year if the fans do their part. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 11:20)

SZA/Apple (111,444) by Giovanni from USA I have to say I did not pay much attention to SZA when she first came out. I knew about "Kill Bill" but that's it. She comes off as nice, respectful and she is another artist who loves and admires MC. The interview was good and that "Here for it all" snippet was amazing. I think it might be one of Mariah's best ballads and maybe my favorite because of the piano. It's a very emotional song and reminds of something from "Butterfly". The audience was certainly eating it up and here for it all haha. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 11:09)

Gayle King (111,443) by Giovanni from USA That was one of Mariah's best interviews for sure. For once we got good questions and it wasn't boring. Gayle knows how to do an interview and she loves her some MC. My only complaint is that it was too short. I'm looking forward to MC doing Jennifer Hudson's show. Her last appearance was great and she even got herself an award. I thought that was so nice and sweet. I feel like people are respecting Mariah again and after "Here for it all" is out and is heard everyone in the industry will know MC is still number one and a music force to reckon with. This woman deserves her flowers and more. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 10:57)

Play this song (111,429) by Giovanni from USA I made the mistake of not turning the volume off my phone before I went on Mariah's Insta and well I heard a little of "Play this song". It's sounds pretty good and has the potential to help the album. I have to say by seeing the short video clip Anderson .Paak looks so happy with Mimi. I think he has a crush on her and I wouldn't be surprised if they were secretly dating. I've never seen someone smile so much for Mariah probably since Bryan. What do y'all think? (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 18:32)

Gayle King (111,428) by Giovanni from USA I hope y'all watch Mariah's interview with Gayle King. I've always liked Gayle King I guess mainly because she is a fan and has always showed love and respect for Mariah. It's a good short little interview. (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 18:28)

Somewhat loved (111,427) by Giovanni from USA I really wish this had been Mariah's song. I can understand how it might not have been hit worthy but I like it and I think it had potential. Her voice sounds good and the lyrics are decent. It's certainly a lot better than that horrible garbage "Infinity" song. I would like to ask her what she thinks of the song. (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 18:22)
