About Lambi from USA: Mc 4 life

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,141) by Lambi from USA I actually thought you were very forthcoming. The tone is very much "speaking from the heart". It was a beautiful post. (Monday 28 July 2025; 20:36) this is a reply to message 110,126

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,126) by Jamie from UK Aww this is a message board where people can voice their opinions. There was no negativity from any of my posts, we're not complaining as we are still supporting her by buying her music, as I said I like both TD and SS. I simply stating she is changed and how I personally would have liked her career to play out for the better, it doesn't mean I won't support her whatever she does or call her out for something I don't like. That is a true fan to me... being honest. You're the one calling people "silly fans" and "poison" and having a word censored. That isn't a nice trait. You're the one that should be ashamed of yourself, not us. (Monday 28 July 2025; 11:03)

Re: Andrew (75,682) (110,118) by Lambi from USA I remember reading Andrew's sentiments as a teenager (I didn't post at all, just lurked), and now that my brain is fully developed, I wanted to assess his character as an adult. I accidentally came across his sentiment (the post I'm replying to) about Martyn, a lamb who died in the bombing at Ariana's concert. A post prior said, "I promise to try to show as much love toward the rest of you as I can and let that be his legacy in my life. I wish each and every one of you, whether we agree or disagree, whether we love the same way or do not, a long and happy life." He was clearly a troubled man, but the loss of a lamb and someone he actually knew in real life seemed to have waken him up and hit him really hard. "I'm going to pray tonight. I haven't done that since I was a child. And I'm not sure what that means. But a prayer I will say. And if there is an afterlife, and they can see what we are doing, then let this be the change in the board that is needed." This sentiment showed a lack of a prayer life. Lack of a prayer life equates to a lack of God in your life. But it brings me a sense of peace to know that, in his moment of pain, something in him reached for prayer. I won't disagree that he was extremely toxic, but I too would like to say a prayer for Andrew. I hope he's healed and found God today. (Monday 28 July 2025; 04:37) this is a reply to message 75,685

Re: Andrew (75,682) (75,685) by Andrew from UK Martyn was a guy who I got on with. We weren't best buddies. I won't do him a disservice to make this about me. We just made contact and had a giggle and made commentary. He invited me to Manchester and I put it off. I regret it. It's not about me. His relating of why that song meant so much to him after I quizzed him about drinking along and crying to it was heartfelt and I won't do him the disservice of relating why here. It's not about me, it's about him. I'm sorry that he won't ever listen to Mariah again and take comfort in her music. I'm sorry that he was cut down in his prime, on the eve of an adventure that he sought out. I'm sorry that he no longer lives and that we will carry on. Devastated for him and him alone. I will go to the funeral, if it's an open one, which, given the numbers of people who admired him, it possibly will be. I am open if anyone wants to meet up for it but I'm happy to stand at the back and say goodbye. If not just for this board. I was jealous of him, in all honesty. When talking to him, about how positive and open to life he was. I genuinely was. YouTube him. See what an amazingly positive life he led. Death is the great leveller, isn't it? I'm going to pray tonight. I haven't done that since I was a child. And I'm not sure what that means. But a prayer I will say. And if there is an afterlife, and they can see what we are doing then let this be the change in the board that is needed. And let him read how much he was loved. And maybe that's how we should process this. We should talk to Mariah and tell her who the Martyns of the world are and how we want her to be great. He loved her. We all do. I'm not on social media. So I'm glad this board is here. It's brilliant. It's about Martyn. That's the way it should be. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 00:44)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,117) by Lambi from USA I like the analogy of Taylor to Madonna. Even though Mariah completely changed her image to something sexier in '97, it was still pretty mild (like she said) and somewhat natural. I agree completely. I was even fine with her image during the E=MC² era. She was actually hot, and homegirl knew it. Her beauty during her 30s was effortless. It started feeling desperate when she wore lingerie on a noontime show and that ensemble on top of the piano on BET while singing "You're Mine" (on the verge of divorce). Even Patti was like, "Maybe we'll keep some for the imagination." Truthfully, I think Nick completely perverted and changed her. She was never the same. She even did a prank call on his radio show, talking about how "porn is good" and that her husband was not so far off from the guys there. Clearly, they experimented with it. And that perverted spirit kind of lingered. She does have a teenage son now, though. I wonder if Rocky has ever expressed how embarrassing it is.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,115) by Dove from United States For sure we all change and for sure there will never be another artist like Mariah Carey ever again. It's just jarring sometimes because she seems like a completely different person. It's as if Taylor Swift suddenly turned into Madonna. We're all here still supporting, buying the albums, and streaming the songs. We're still fans but this is a message board where fans share their thoughts, ideas, grief, joy, whatever. I don't feel like anyone is being disrespectful and Mariah is going to keep doing whatever she damn well pleases because she can. She's the artist. And we're all going to come back here and talk about it and reminisce about the old times. I remember when MOAIA came out I didn't automatically love it and now it's one of my favorites. Maybe in 10 years Sugar Sweet will be my favorite MC song. Just because I'm a little prudish and uncomfortable with boobs out right now doesn't mean I'll always feel that way. Maybe when I'm an old lady and my own boobs sag like tube socks down to the floor, I'll appreciate looking at other people's perky ones on the TV more.. I'm half kidding but half not. (Monday 28 July 2025; 02:09)

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,070) by Lambi from USA I agree I think the hairstylist and make up artist did good. Just the styling was a bit of a mismatch. There shouldn't have been any straps on the clavicles. Because it became straps + her ginormous necklace + crazy amount of hair + overly done boobs. It was way too much. Should've removed straps, add some sort of lace material to hover her boobs, put the hair completely on the back (or maybe just one side) then a more subtle necklace piece to completely accentuate and feature her neck and clavicle area. This would've been be a more polished, clean look. I noticed Mariah sports these extra "slutty" looks when she's in peak romance. She quite literally wore lingerie on Ellen in 2009, just a year after getting married to Nick. (Friday 25 July 2025; 22:25) this is a reply to message 110,050

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,050) by Dove from United States She seemed more laid back and "present" last night on Jimmy Kimmel. I don't know that host, but she seemed starstruck, and honestly I can't blame her. I would have been too. Mariah didn't seem bothered by the comments about her breasts so I won't be bothered either. It's not like Britney Spears at 17 being asked about her breasts. Not the best thing to bring up in an interview but Mariah is a grown up and they're hard not to notice. (Honestly, it's the first thing I noticed.) Sidenote: it reminded me of the Mexican music icon Juan Gabriel. Interviewers would ask him about his sexuality and he would respond, "Lo que se ve no se pregunta". (What is seen does not need to be asked.) Anyway, I think Mariah looked really pretty. Her face looked really pretty and her body was on point. Her tan was on point. Her hair looked nice. The dress is not my favorite but I don't hate it either. Since it's more naked at the top I liked that it was longer. I love that silhouette on her. I don't love the animal print but that's just me. Apparently that's the trend again. (The Pamela Anderson/Fran Drescher in The Nanny vibes.) My niece is starting high school this year so I took her to get her hair cut and eyebrows threaded. I've been going to this eyebrow threader for over ten years and she's very good and I trust her. I waited in the waiting area and let my niece go back there by herself. I was so surprised when she came back out with super thin (Christina Aguilera in the Dirrty video) eyebrows. I told her the whole reason I took her there was so that she wouldn't over-pluck them like I did when I was her age. I told her if she keeps plucking them that thin, over time they won't grow back the same. She said, "Yours did." (But they didn't. I had to get the soft tap powder brows to fill in the sparse spots.) Anyway, she didn't care what I had to say and told me, "I think I can maintain the thin-brow life." So yeah. The early 90's slightly porno look is making a comeback. I think we all want MC to go back to the girl-next-door we initially fell in love with. But she's been Ginger for a long time now. Mary Ann is gone. (Friday 25 July 2025; 15:50)

Jimmy Kimmel (110,068) by Lambi from USA Interviewer is the same as mold Ellen and Rosie but you can tell she's just starting out in late night. She's got more of podcast interview vibe honestly and she's lowkey awkward. But to be fair, we never really get anything in-depth music wise with these mainstream late night shows. Mariah may just have to book another Genius interview because that was the most journalism someone did for her catalogue. It was done by a real lamb. (Friday 25 July 2025; 21:59) this is a reply to message 110,043

Jimmy Kimmel (110,043) by Bobby A from United States I wanted Jimmy to show up and take over. I felt bad for MC when she was really being overly flirtatious at the beginning of the interview. MC became very uncomfortable in the middle of the interview when she kept flirting with MC. Jimmy would have shown some class. (Friday 25 July 2025; 13:17)

Here For It All (110,015) by Lambi from USA You don't think TEOM is a no skip album? I get what you mean with Butterfly being the golden standard though. It's on another level. I want to believe HFIA is a no skip album but I already skipped T:D but I don't doubt majority of the tracks will be fire. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 22:51) this is a reply to message 110,009

Here For It All (110,009) by Bobby A from United States I understand better today the reason why just 11 tracks because of the hype statement on Record Store Day's website. The hype statement says: "Here For It All is Mariah Carey's new forthcoming project with Gamma. This album marks the start of a bold new era for Mariah. It balances her legacy with fresh cultural relevance and pop significance." MC hasn't had an album you can listen to without any skips since Butterfly. Here For It All is going to be that no skips album. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 17:13)

Webmaster request (110,014) by Lambi from USA Good to see you out of hibernation, Bill. Look at my recent posts I’m literally so chill. Maybe a couple of jabs here and there but it’s majorly chill posts, trying to enjoy this roll out. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 22:35) this is a reply to message 110,008

Webmaster request (110,008) by Bill from the UK As the Reprimandee I feel it's my duty to wade in at this point and, once again, ask that you chill. Easy to remember. Rhymes with Bill. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 17:07)

Friday (109,996) by Lambi from USA Yes she is. Kehlani and an Afrobeat artist are also in it. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 12:22) this is a reply to message 109,995

Friday (109,995) by Tameka walker from United states Is Mariah releasing Sugar Sweet? Just wondering. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 12:17)

Webmaster request (109,993) by Lambi from USA Actually no. I've been rather chill. I literally ride the "reprimand" joke at this point. I mean my album title was, Reprimanded: The Art Of Hibernation. But it is a drum that a couple people here keeps beating, I don't know why. There was really no need for a subtle diss. But I hope this ends it. Trying to enjoy the roll out of Here For It All. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:31) this is a reply to message 109,991

Webmaster request (109,991) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand." I don't think this is a diss, but something you keep doing over and over again. Maybe you should stop doing this and everybody will be happy and move on. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:19)

Webmaster request (109,990) by Lambi from USA I'm glad you noticed. There's a reason for that insult. "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand" is direct hit on me from Stacey. Then she pretends to be well-meaning right after the diss. The one you're defending actually engages on pretending to be a saint, so it turns out you actually got fooled. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:14) this is a reply to message 109,985

Webmaster request (109,985) by Sasha from Nomansland His message was about your insult towards Stacey. It was mean so stop pretending you're a saint and that you have a good spirit. You're fooling nobody here. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 09:44)

For the record (109,976) by Lambi from USA If you have complete disagreements with anyone here, that's totally okay. This is just what happens in any hub. Fights break out all the time. If you happen to be emotional and make a rather deranged post, that's also totally fine, as long as you realize you made a mess and fix it afterward. Everyone forgets it and moves on. What's not okay is insinuating things like, "You don't belong here," "Thank goodness you'll be gone," or "You have no place in this fandom." This is the language of a bully. I don't care how correct you are or how deep your MC knowledge goes. Mariah always felt like an outsider, and people become fans of hers because they too have felt like outsiders. No one should be happy to see a lamb leave on a bitter, sad note. If you feel like you've been ganged up on and feel unwelcome, don't leave. Not everyone will respond to your every post, but the thumbs up button shows that we see you and that you're heard. Stick around. Defend your positions, respectfully of course, but do not let self-proclaimed "superior" fans because they've been around since 1901, break your spirit. Anyway, enough of that. Happy new era to all. I'm so excited for this release. Someone said this could be Mariah's last era, and it kind of made sense and even made me a little emotional. But I'm still elated to experience a Mariah slayage in real time. Glad to be here for it all. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 05:22)

Mental state (109,974) by Lambi from USA Great take. Mariah's been forthcoming about diabetes. It makes sense because she probably sits around too much. But I see her making an effort to exercise on the reel, "I'm Mariah Carey. Of course this is my work out ensemble." Hopefully working out is part of her day to day routine now, avoiding insulin resistance completely. The months where she gives no effort on miming could've simply came from the nerve pain caused by the veneers. Maybe she's got a sensitive gum, and I can't tell you how painful that is. The doctors definitely put in work because her teeth are perfection. The stroke issue could also be a possibility. Jamie Foxx, Justin Bieber and Tori Kelly developed some sort of blood clot after taking a certain vaccine, allegedly. And we all know which side of the political aisle Mariah probably falls on, based on her friends, so it's probably best to keep that shush. All in all though, Mariah seems to be taking her health extremely seriously. She seems to be at a healthy weight, and is always put together flawlessly. I agree with Mimi L. She managed to reach another beauty peak. It's abnormal to look that stunningly youthful at 56. I mean that blonde bombshell look with her straightened on the T:D video is unbelievably striking. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 04:05) this is a reply to message 109,971

Mental state (109,971) by ADAM from USA I'm also highly curious what the album rollout interviews will look like. I think she has some sort of mental tick. She has not shared with the public, but I think she's had some sort of a stroke or physical laps that makes her unable to answer things in depth or recall easily. Anytime we have seen her when she answered something. It's all premeditated and not natural. I wish you just come clean and therefore you'd have the sympathy of the public and also some truth with your fan base instead of this plastic veneer and all these can terrible answers to questions that we don't care about. I think she's such an interesting figure and has so many stories that she could talk about But she is so guarded and not truthful. I really want the best for her as I feel like this is her last era of music. Hoping for the best - btw I'm obsessed with Sugar Sweet using AfroBeats it's such an ear worm of a jingle and will sound great blasting from anyone's speakers. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 02:05)

Webmaster request (109,968) by Lambi from USA Again unbelievably inaccurate. Look at my response. I simply debunked the insinuation of me bringing "bad vibes", I've been having fun with the discussions here and really enjoy giving Mariah love. Far from "bitchy and petty diatribe". If you actually wanna talk about petty, look at the contrast of how we treated an exiting lamb. I wished him well and your sentiment to him is, "I'm dead serious, if you go, you can never twerk with us again." Mariah felt like an outsider and many of her fans connected to her with that. So it's safe to say a lot of lambs is simply looking for a place of connection and belonging. I mean sure, Brad may have had his moments and you can have all the disagreement you want with him but that no one should be rejoicing when someone permanently leaves. It's giving "you have no place in the fandom". You can virtue signal all you want but people can see who the true bullies are. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 01:18) this is a reply to message 109,959

Webmaster request (109,959) by Edward from USA TJ, I don't think you're ready for a bitchy and petty diatribe. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 19:14)

Here For It All (109,964) by Lambi from USA Honestly yeah I thought about this. The artwork missed the mark but it is ultimately going to be about the music. I can't wait to hear the ballads on this record. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 21:13) this is a reply to message 109,935

Here for it all (109,935) by Giovanni from USA Very interesting album title. I could care less about the album cover, I care about the music. I hope this album is successful and MC can get herself another number one to her name. "Sugar sweet" has a vibe and is catchy, I already like it so I'm ready. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:05)

Webmaster request (109,963) by Lambi from USA Inaccurate. I just praised the hell out of Webmaster, wished Brad well and expressed a lamb redeemed should be celebrated. I even just raved about Mariah's respectful gesture towards Paul McCartney. Far from bad vibes. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 20:50) this is a reply to message 109,953

Webmaster request (109,953) by TJ from Norway Why do you bring so much bad vibes to the table? (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 15:56)

The Webmaster (109,952) by Lambi from USA "He doesn't need to change a damn thing", sadly he did though. He's gotten significantly better at proof-reading and editing. It's actually amazing. He allowed Libra Lamb to be posted again only when she expressed how being silenced is the reason why she doesn't come anymore. Her being posted is Eric's response to that, that strike a chord within him so yeah, "he's gotten more fair" is the correct assessment. It's not a bad thing to improve. It brought back a lamb so he clearly did something right. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 14:19) this is a reply to message 109,944

The Webmaster (109,944) by Edward from USA Eric's been fair with everyone on this board, consistently. That's basically the board's unofficial consensus since dial-up days. He doesn't need to change a damn thing. The man's been moderating like a pro for over two decades, longer than some of you have been out of high school. If it were up to a few people here with their "cancel everything that mildly annoys me" attitude, this board would've been nuked years ago. So shout out to Eric for keeping this circus running smoothly. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 02:00)

Webmaster request (109,951) by Lambi from USA I really don't think anyone ever had to be silenced because of you, Stacey. Honestly you kind of just echo and applause Eric's post all the time it's actually entertaining. Do you actually ever have an original thought? Genuinely curious. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 13:51) this is a reply to message 109,945

Webmaster request (109,945) by Stacey from USA Amen. Well said. None of us "characters" have any kind of "in" with the webmaster. I have a few MC CDs listed in his discography but that's my only connection. I've had posts edited and/or not posted many times. Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand. I'd be rich too if I got paid for everytime an insult is thrown my way. It's laughable how many times me being a teacher has been made fun of. Honestly, just stop. Enjoy the conversation. It ain't that deep, lol. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 02:21)

Webmaster request (109,950) by Lambi from USA I don't think you fully understood the context. I said, "What's your excuse? Someone was mean so you quit?" Limbra Lamb was like, "No I didn't quit, my messages stopped getting posted." She's expressed her disdain about being silenced but for what ever reason, she is getting posted again so that should be celebrated. A lamb has been redeemed. Brad obviously falls in the category of "bitter" lambs but not necessarily "silenced" lambs. I can see why you correlate them though but no totally disconnected. I probably should've added spaces on the paragraphs. I have no idea how Brad landed to bitterness. Frankly have zero time to look at his post history but we wish him well, he seemed very insightful. Hopefully he returns. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 13:46) this is a reply to message 109,942

Webmaster request (109,942) by Edward from USA Nobody said anything negative to Brad, except Victoria, who implied the board was full of "hating ass hoes". I guess she included herself in the mix, minus the "hating" and "ass" parts. Some people just love to stir the pot and make things up. Brad made a vague comment about the board, but nothing specific. It was weird because, as you said, we were all just joking around about album titles and having a good time. The vibe was light. Looking at his recent posts, it's pretty clear Brad hasn't been happy with anything Mariah-related lately, which is totally fine. The problem is, when he chose to leave, he acted like this place was some toxic nightmare and he just couldn't deal anymore. That doesn't make sense, especially when most folks here actually liked "Type Dangerous" and the video. Many love playing the victim and throwing digital tantrums, they start acting like they're here to reprimand others, which is just ridiculous. We've got positive folks, critical folks, and everyone in between, but we've all been part of this board for a long time. Brad completely trashed "Type Dangerous", can you imagine if I had gone off on him for not liking it? It'd be absurd. Time to stop being so damn sensitive, it ain't that serious. This board is going to keep being what it is. If I had a penny for every time someone complained about a person, a post, or the entire board, I'd be filthy rich by now. Some keep trying, but nobody's going to be walking on eggshells here. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:58)

Webmaster request (109,941) by Lambi from USA Hey Libra. I too had my rebuttals silenced so I agree with that. It's very political here. Someone that's closer to Webmaster will have more of a voice which isn't really fair gamed. Allow people to defend their positions and allow the lambilies to decide on the verdict. People can read who is out of touch. But I have brought it up to Webmaster and explained why it pushes people away. Thank you for confirming the sentiment. Brad probably falls into the same category of the lambs that eventually peace'd out because of bitterness. He was probably already bitter way before this recent incident. To Eric's credit though, he's gotten way better. He just edits certain things now that could potentially open up of a can of worms, I can see why he does it. He's gotten more fair. He's well-meaning. Also proof-reading and approving hundreds of messages must be a workload so we have to cut him some slack. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:39) this is a reply to message 109,933

Webmaster request (109,933) by Libra Lamb from USA I think for me the problems were you stopped posting my messages and also there's a handful of characters on here that I refuse to even give a chance to interact with. I check in every few weeks for like 10 seconds. Life goes on. We have too many real problems to worry about opinions. Deuces. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 19:23)

How thoughtful of MC (109,921) by Lambi from USA She knows what it's like to be dethroned by Old Town Road, she could've turned bitter but she was a complete class act, sharing a photoshopped image of herself passing the torch to Lil Nas and celebrating with him. I feel the same recurring theme with purposely including Paul McCartney on this record: "Hey Sir, I am banking real hard on this album, and I think there's a real chance I might break the record you've held for so long. If I do, I wanted to include you in the moment." This is the kind of sweetheart Mariah truly is. She has always shown respect to the legends. Even when she was just starting out, she introduced her cover of Don't Play That Song by saying, "This is a tribute to the incomparable Aretha Franklin." It's like she's saying, "I'm about to perform your song with everything I've got, and I will absolutely crush and do it justice, but please know I'm not trying to outshine you." (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 14:06)

Webmaster request (109,918) by Lambi from USA Yeah, like I said this is just the internet interneting. People are mean, and they'll try out being mean online. Have you seen all the unhinged comments on Instagram and X? I feel like we're actually pretty mild and somewhat level-headed here. Also, if you're a Mariah fan, you should try to aspire like her and have thick skin. Homegirl had her family's dog poisoned, their car set on fire, got spit on the face, and had the N-word chanted at her repeatedly while being cornered. What we experience online now in 2025 is like a bite from a fire ant compared to that. She experienced real-life racism in the '70s and '80s and still managed to become the wealthiest, most successful, and most significant out of all her bullies. What's your excuse? Someone dropped a mean comment online, so you have to pack it in? We're all built tougher than that, lamb. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 13:08) this is a reply to message 109,913

Webmaster request (109,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany It was very mean and vulgar that someone called him hating a. h. I would be shocked too for a minute, but for me that's kindergarten talking. I wouldn't take it serious. It's fine that everyone has a different taste, but no one should fear to be named like that, just because of his thoughts. I hope he comes back here, but I doubt it. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:57)

Webmaster request (109,909) by Lambi from USA Brad, this is just welcome to the internet in 2025. You just have to develop thicker skin. You sound innocent though. "Please delete my account, profile and postings" sounds like when someone breaks up with their significant other and asks them to return all the gifts they gave. I actually think you are genuinely a nice puppy that no one should be kicking. Everyone be nice to Brad. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 06:01) this is a reply to message 109,814

Webmaster request (109,814) by Brad from USA Hi. Please delete my account, profile and postings as I do not wish to have any association with this site any longer. Thank you. (Friday 18 July 2025; 20:53)

Cover art (109,907) by Lambi from USA She probably wanted it to coincide with the black and white Daydream cover art. 30th anniversary this year by the way, which I assume she has unreleased trinkets already planned out to bless us with. Daydream is special because it's her most influential. I agree she could've slayed way harder and made it black and white no matter what. But maybe it's an "instant grit" cover art, just like how she had those teaser reel videos for Type: Dangerous. I'm pretty sure she'll change it to be honest. Mariah listens to fans. She changed the initial art work for TEOM when lambs brought up it looked like Beyoncé. Lol. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 05:41) this is a reply to message 109,893

Cover art (109,893) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok don't hate me please, I don't want to be negative Nancy but I'm not a huge fan of the cover art. It doesn't scream I am coming for your wigs Beatles haha. It doesn't scream Billboard count your days bish. The cover art is very pretty but it's something more like for a greatest hits album or "the love songs" collection. It's not memorable like TEOM or even catchy like Caution. Also maybe like a beauty magazine cover shoot. The way they posed the era starting with she wants to get 2 more #1's the album cover doesn't match the vibe. I hope we get some alternate versions too with a more fierce look. Also someone said a few posts back she needs a new stylist. I agree. We also need her out of these huge diamond necklaces and diamond bracelet stacks, they are very early 2000s vibe and it ages her a bit which is crazy because she is at another beauty peak. If she wants to pull in the number she needs the streaming audience that is mostly younger. (Monday 21 July 2025; 22:20)

The problem with Type: Dangerous (109,799) by Lambi from USA "First of all I'm still young, numerically speaking, I stopped counting at 17, so I don't know." (Friday 18 July 2025; 00:16) this is a reply to message 109,774

The problem with Type: Dangerous (109,774) by Brad from USA There is simply nothing uniquely Mariah about this "song". Her name and voice are a "brand" at this point and there is a listener expectation of something unique to her sound or abilities with every song. Most of her songs deliver that. Type: Dangerous does not. Any person could sing this "song", as it never results in a moment that is identifiably Mariah. It's bland, generic and in some places crass. Does anyone really want to hear a 56 year old Mariah calling people "hatin ass hoes"? Apparently not. Not to mention ya don't do that as a mother when you have a teenage daughter. Bad move, Mariah. We all know she can do better while still being "on trend". This song is just garbage. And it reflects poorly on her judgment that she didn't realize it before putting it out. Let's hope for better from MC16. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 23:11)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,759) by Lambi from USA Aww, a dog lamb. That's too freaking cute. I seriously love those songs too. I still play IBLYLT, Cruise Control, I'm That Chick and Migrate on a whim. It takes me right back to summer 2008, my friends and I would blast this record driving the beach strip, windows down. E=MC² had so many bops, it's stupid. I sometimes forget Mariah intended for it to be Emancipation to the second power. Didn't quite have the same success but hey, she was in love and trying to get a family started, so we'll let the missed potential slide. We all gotta live. Still such a fun, underrated era.

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,754) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You don't know how many times I used to play and sing along to "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" in the summer of 2008. I still do some times. It's a real pity that it wasn't promoted properly. It could have been a hit. And Mimi in the video, wow. By the way, I've always loved "I Stay in Love" as well. In fact, a dog of mine was called "Baby, I stay in love with you" (short version: "Baby") after the song because, when he was a puppy and I would sing that little part around him, he used to come to me. So that became his name, but in the singing mode. Lol. Everybody got amazed whenever I sang his name and he would appear from wherever. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 14:24)
