About Shezz from Pk: L4L

No.1 in global iTunes (109,148) by Shezz from Pk Don't forget GTFO hit number one on iTunes as well but failed to chart. Streaming counts the most and her numbers there are still pretty low I read on another site. Though that in no way means they can't pick up. Right now the song is only hot with the lambs. It could eventually spread to the masses. So many songs creep their way up the charts as they gain a wider audience. First week numbers aren't everything.

No.1 in global iTunes (109,140) by jaker20 from US Now no.1 in US iTunes as well. Pleasantly surprised, and honestly I was not expecting this. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 07:01)

TD press tour (109,144) by Shezz from Pk I noticed yesterday watching some radio interview clips - her energy and enthusiasm varies quite a bit depending on the interviewer. She was very animated and enthusiastic for a couple and totally disinterested in the others. If she knows you, has a history with you and you know about her music and black culture, she will be way more relaxed and open. Just an observation, to most of the white interviewers she was a little cold and reserved. Maybe it was just a coincidence that she was not too familiar with them. Anyone else noticed this? I mean I don't blame her - not everyone can fake enthusiasm for small talk with strangers, but if you're out there promoting your music, wanting them to play your songs, you have to present a friendly front. Or don't go to the ones you don't feel warmly about. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 09:32)

The light is back in her eyes (109,117) by Shezz from Pk Did anyone notice how she was gleaming and beaming at the radio launch event? She looked alive and genuinely happy to be there and so grateful and proud. Almost shed a tear seeing that after so long. And she sang along to the song without looking at any monitors. I'd love a remix for the song. It's crying for another 30 second verse from Doecii. Apparently the fancy car company (that she shot the cover in) whose name I can't remember posted about something coming soon with her. I'm hoping that's for the music video. Knowing Mariah she's collaborated with them. Also, so so happy to read about the new label. They will go all out to support her and she won't pull out of her project midway through like she has previously because of these label issues. And I am happy that LA Reid is also officially guiding MC16. She's taken her time but she's doing it right. May she get the success and respect she deserves. Proud to be a lamb.

Type Dangerous (109,079) by Shezz from Pk Ok I ain't mad. I quite like it. Still processing but initial reaction was very very positive - unlike all the other singles she's released over the years. The lyric video helped me get more into it. I think it's her best lead single in a long ass while. Mariah - get behind it and give it your all. I hope a proper video is coming soon. I feel like they haven't shot it yet. This is going to be the [It's like that] of [MC16]. The punchy re introduction to get the attention and then she'll knock us down with the WBT of this era. It's not gold but hor the first time in a long time, not disappointed MC. (Friday 6 June 2025; 06:42)

Type: Impatient (109,059) by Shezz from Pk I love how the board has gone from writing her eulogy to being excited for new music in just a few days. Life is beautiful. Whether we love Type Dangerous tomorrow or not, I hope we all will be happy for all that she's finally putting out there and for a whole album to follow.

Type: Impatient (109,048) by Jamie from UK Why does time go slower when we're waiting for new Mariah music? Not long to go now but feels like forever. Looking forward to hearing it fully for the first time and also hearing everyone's take on it tomorrow. Mariah is really treating us this past month with a mini anniversary release, now an unexpected MC16 and also a Walter produced song, I can't believe I actually just wrote a Walter produced song after all this time. I hope if they met again they were able to bury any past issues and move forward as life is too short. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 16:12)

Type: Dangerous (109,049) by Shezz from Pk Yes it seemed likely that this was all part of the same video teaser from the car - switching from It's Like That to T:D MC16 to show us she's switching gears (literally) from Celebration of Mimi to her MC16 era. One lead single to another. Wearing the merch. If it is in fact not the real video then she gets A+ for effort for the effort into the rollout. Let's hope it gets a good response and she doesn't ditch it right out the blocks or worse - call it a buzz single. At first listen I wasn't quite blown away but it soon becomes a catchy tune you can't get out of your mind. I hope it's just the outro as well. I played it for a friend - who never really liked her but was forced to listen to everything MC and grew to really like her. He said well it's nice but it's no It's Like That. Maybe she needs to work with JD again. I said nooooo. You don't know how long we've waited for her not to. I can't wait to hear it all tomorrow.

Type: Dangerous (109,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so we have an update haha. Mariah Alerts posted that the snippets released are indeed teaser videos and not the music video. Thank God haha. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 13:30)

Type: Dangerous (109,036) by Shezz from Pk Haha that's exactly what I thought. Still hopeful for the song. I hope this is just a teaser made for the song and not the actual video but that's highly doubtful. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 04:47) this is a reply to message 109,032

Type: Dangerous (109,032) by jaker20 from US That video preview is giving I Don't 2.0 budget, no real story concept and Mariah touching herself. So I hope the music is at least a bop. I miss the Mariah's video collabs with Brett Ratner. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 22:09)

MC16 (109,019) by Shezz from Pk 100% agreed Edward. It's so good to see all the lambs excited again for something big. This month we're going to have 2 exciting days. First on the 6th for the all weather lambs with T:D which obviously will be an uptempo banger - most probably with A. .Paak's production and writing (Bobby A is that official?) and secondly a Walter A. produced ballad for the old school lambs on the 27th. June is going to be good. It will be interesting to see which of the 2 the lambs and the general public respond more to. I've gotta say she has taken her time but planned this well. Releasing the new single right after reminding everyone of and celebrating TEOM was a smart move. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 13:47) this is a reply to message 109,012

MC16 (109,012) by Edward from USA Just a suggestion: when MC16 drops, try to focus on enjoying the music instead of worrying about #1's or chart positions. That way, you're not setting yourself up to be disappointed. Mariah's already done it all, she's a legend, and legends don't have anything to prove. The music scene isn't what it used to be, and chart success doesn't always reflect how good a song actually is. This new album might not have a massive hit, but that doesn't mean it won't have songs with hit potential. Some of her best work has never been on the radio. So let's just enjoy it for what it is. I see MC16 as an unexpected gift. Whether or not it tops the charts, we're lucky to be getting new music from her. Let's enjoy the ride. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 01:51)

MC16 (109,002) by Shezz from Pk Based on her current voice and online rumors, I don't think this album is going to be for the 90s Mariah fans. It's going to be an upbeat pop/urban record. Though if she just did a ballad with Barbra and Ari, she probably still has it in her to include a couple of ballads. All these car snippets are intriguing. They're probably part of the concept for the first single. I don't remember her doing this for Caution. She did for Miamtec singles (Art of Letting Go and Beautiful) which she was really excited about. I can't wait to see what's happening on June 6th. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 19:13) this is a reply to message 108,995

MC16 (108,995) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She didn't confirm it'll be released so yes it might be a teaser but something big is possibly happening on June 6th because in the DFAU remix video calendar it showed a Caution sign on June 6th. The Type: Dangerous one I saw someone posted on UKmix not sure where they got the info from. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 13:40)

MC16 (108,983) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. did she say this Friday we’d know more about MC16 era or the single was going to be released? I think this Friday might just be the announcement - she needs to build the hype a bit. "Eric B. is president" must be sampled in the single as per the teaser. Where did you hear the "Type: Dangerous" bit? (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 06:09) this is a reply to message 108,977

MC16 (108,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well well MC once again reminding us we can never count her out. I had given up hope for a new album but Mariah didn't let RA down. Excited to hear the single this Friday. I hope it's as epic as the teaser. Apparently the single or album is called Type: Dangerous. Which is intriguing. It's also what's show on her car monitor T:D MC16. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25)

MC 16 (108,961) by Shezz from Pk Well - it looks like the drunk / addict / washed up / has been / stroke survivor / Christmas only act still has a little more left to say to us after all. Robert Anthony I told you not to lose hope but you kept creeping into the dark side. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:40)

Theory (108,875) by Shezz from Pk Plausible. And that would explain a lot. There clearly is a major piece of the puzzle missing. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 12:41) this is a reply to message 108,874

Theory (108,874) by Lambi from USA I mean they did try to Britney Spear her. There was a part in her book (page 262) where she talks about Morgan had arranged a "spa" visit but it was actually a hardcore detox and rehab center. They administered her heavy, hard narcotics. Mariah said it made her sluggish, puffy and compliant. I believe this was them inducing mental illness to her. The book "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties" reveals the MK ultra program, where they can give you mental illness via hard drugs. You'll have no choice but to be dependent on it, then you'll just be drugged to oblivion forever. I also vividly remember Mariah saying, "when I first found out about my diagnosis, I refused to believe it" which she was right. She never had mental illness to begin with. She was purposely driven to exhaustion to be easily irate. Pat knew which buttons to press and knew anyone who hasn't slept in a week will understandably snap. They then used her lashing out as an opportunity to misdiagnose, with the goal of inducing mental illness, to control her with drugs her whole life. I believe the mafia's desired effects have come into full bloom now. She is undoubtedly heavily depended on it; the dosage probably heightened, I would say right after NYE, when she exposed her BPD and admitted seeking "professional" help and probably even more so now, grieving Pat's death. Taking these meds is obviously a part of her pre-show ritual because she is rather sluggish and puffy. Every concert. I will categorize my assessment to be "allegedly" though, just to be marked safe. It's what I think make sense after recognizing what they've done to other pop stars and doing a deep dive in the history of Hollywood. I wouldn't say anyone is threatening her necessarily but I will say Mariah is aware of the patterns of their financial terrorism. So many have tried to come for her money. Right now Morgan (which is not to be trusted) is suing the crap out of her over her memoir. I think she is always working hard to afford top-notched lawyers, it really does take money to win cases. There's also a chance Morgan may be backed up again by the mafia. He was already in cahoots with the record company during Mariah's first breakdown and considering how many mainstream publications picked up this case. (People, The NY Times, Daily Mail, Today, Fox News, The Sun, Page Six etc.) A PR firm that's verifiably against Mariah is blasting these articles to the masses. I have read the filings and Morgan is relentless for her money. He is very technical and somehow found a way to forward this case into trial. Mariah will actually have swear under oath pretty soon. That and she's probably preparing to have more than enough sufficient funds for her biopic. Production and talent fees are expensive. It's maybe why she's working herself to the bone. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 11:21)

One Heart, One Voice (108,872) by Shezz from Pk I have high hopes for this collaboration. I wonder if they all actually got in the studio together for this. Doubtful at this point but possible. I wonder how much input Mariah had if any. I expect it to be a full blown classic Barbra ballad. Wow another whole month to wait for this. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 06:58) this is a reply to message 108,862

One Heart, One Voice (108,862) by Edward from USA "One Heart, One Voice" will be released on June 27. What do guys think it will be like? Could Walter and Mariah bring their magic back with a decent well written song? Will their voices blend in together well? Thoughts. (Monday 26 May 2025; 03:37)

This? (108,851) by Shezz from Pk Agreed. She sadly has been heading in this direction for a while. This is not her first bizarre interview. I don't think there is a single person on the board who thinks she should tour anymore. Clearly neither does she. But she will for the rest of the year because she's already signed up for all of them for whatever reasons best known to her. She swore after the Glitter debacle that she would always put herself first and take care of her wellbeing. I hope she holds herself to that. Neurological disorders only get worse with age not better. It seems like she has been in this slow medicated state for a year now as everyone's saying. I agree with everyone that she should stop touring and thus stop the press interviews but clearly that's not going to happen. I still stand by my opinion that her Mimi session was not bad or a misstep. It was nice to finally hear her sing after ages maybe because I never expected her to sound brilliant. It was an honest performance with flaws and all. Looking forward to the Barbra song now. (Saturday 24 May 2025; 07:27) this is a reply to message 108,850

This? (108,850) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Is this really the cause of all the debate? Together with the Mimi Sessions? Hey, you all. This is Mariah nowadays. Haven't you noticed? I think some of you are blowing it out of proportion (not directed at anybody specifically, ok?). However, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again, I don't think she should be touring this year. Instead, she should just relax and work on the new album if she really wants to release it (and treats us with some performances like the Mimi Sessions just for our entertainment because, even though they are not the best in her career, but she shows real talent and musicality in them). (Saturday 24 May 2025; 01:10)

She possibly had a stroke (108,821) by Shezz from Pk She isn't dying, you all need to stop clutching your pearls. Highly doubtful that she'd be touring if she just had a stroke. Not all humans are created equal and not all of them age the same way. Specially ones with neurological disorders that only worsen with time. I think it's commendable she put this out. You all want her to sit down and cry on national tv about her vocal decline. She's not doing that. This is her response to all the lovers and the haters. This is her voice right now. I don't think it was half as bad as some of you think it was. Any one who has remotely followed her in the last few years wouldn't expect anything much better from a stripped performance like this. There are bigger problems in the world to lose sleep over right now. Kudos to Mariah for that honest performance that we have all wanted for a long time.

She possibly had a stroke (108,815) by Jamie from UK Something isn't right. She was slurring her words, and couldn't keep up. It quite upset me to see her like this. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 10:23)

The Mimi sessions (108,801) by Shezz from Pk Well that was a good surprise. Sounded as well as she can in her current voice - totally stripped. I was nervous when it started but then I said it's not really live. She obviously will only put it out there if she can pull it off. I wonder if there are more or it was just the one. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 17:39)

Vacation (108,656) by Shezz from Pk Have a great vacation Bobby A. Where are you going? I can't wait for the re-energized Bobby. (Friday 2 May 2025; 06:26) this is a reply to message 108,650

MiMi20 CD (108,567) by Shezz from Pk Do we know for sure yet that there are no unreleased tracks? Around 20 tracks not revealed yet but yes they'll all be remixes - I'm hoping for one unreleased song to sneak in though it doesn't look like there are any. She mentioned somewhere that When I Feel It will be included but yes that's been around forever. (Sunday 13 April 2025; 15:35) this is a reply to message 108,564

MiMi20 CD (108,564) by Edward from USA To be honest, it's not really worth it. There's nothing new in this release. I was hoping she'd at least include some leftover tracks from that era. I just don't see the point in celebrating 20 years of such an iconic album without offering anything new. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, it's just my humble opinion. (Saturday 12 April 2025; 22:37)

TEOM 20 (108,550) by Shezz from Pk Apparently she's doing it a song at a time or so. I liked the remix. Hoping for something a little more major in the next few releases. (Friday 11 April 2025; 11:14) this is a reply to message 108,548

TEOM 20 (108,548) by TJ from Norway I thought it was going to be a big release this morning? All I can see is the remix of DFAU. I used to be blonde, so I might have misunderstood. (Friday 11 April 2025; 06:33)

TEOM announcement (108,526) by Bobby A from United States Shezz, I thought that AI didn't have it right. I looked in my Mariah book and I have written down exactly what you said. Also, I am just wondering if we will get a demo version of WBT without the "come back" background vocals and the FLAB remix by DJ Tracy. Can someone post the link to her TEOM announcement countdown? (Sunday 6 April 2025; 21:34)

TEOM announcement (108,520) by Shezz from Pk Bobby, the ultra platinum edition has 20 already which includes 14 original plus 3 platinum edition plus [Sprung] and [Secret Love] plus [WBT] remix. If you add When I feel [It] that's 21. Let's hope there's something AI doesn't know and there are more. (Sunday 6 April 2025; 13:31) this is a reply to message 108,518

TEOM announcement (108,518) by Bobby A from United States I did an AI search for how many unused tracks does Mariah Carey have for TEOM. The results came back as this: tracks recorded: 22 tracks on TEOM release plus 2 bonus tracks: 16 tracks unused: 6 (Sunday 6 April 2025; 03:18)

TEOM announcement (108,519) by Shezz from Pk Sprung and Secret Love were already released in the Ultra Platinum Edition. When I feel it hasn't gotten an official release though it's been around forever. I hope we get a couple of new tracks at least that she's still saving though they'll mostly be remixes and or live versions I have a feeling.

AIWFC lawsuit + Kelly Clarkson (108,509) by Shezz from Pk Funny story about how strangely, Kelly Clarkson the og lamb could be indirectly involved in starting the Vince Vance lawsuit. She covered the song (his version) in late 2020 then performed it at Rockerfeller Center 2021. Billboard did a small piece on it saying "Kelly Clarkson covers AIWFC but no, it's not the Mariah version". She told Billboard that it was her favourite Christmas song growing up. Not many people had talked about it before - then 6 months later in 2022, Vince Vance suddenly reappears after ages and files the lawsuit. Taking this conspiracy theory even further (for laughs) Kelly's cover comes out right around the time the Oh Santa remix not featuring her was released. Of course she has never stopped singing Mariah's praises so the second part is most definitely not linked. I think about it often since I heard her version years ago (i quite like it) just felt like sharing it with y'all today. (Friday 4 April 2025; 08:14)

New thing coming (108,508) by Shezz from Pk It's just what the infamous internet "nostradamous insider" said. Though I don't believe much what they say now after Mariah has refused to put anything out in the last few years, this news could very well be true given the current situation. I do think Anderson Paak is not just hanging out with her, they are working together as well. (Friday 4 April 2025; 06:25) this is a reply to message 108,507

New thing coming (108,507) by Jamie from UK What songs were discarded? Not heard this? (Thursday 3 April 2025; 23:52)

New thing coming (108,503) by Shezz from Pk And with Anderson Paak apparently overseeing the whole production, it could be a slick fun record. This year she will do a couple of collaborations again and then focus on pushing AIWFC again this at Christmas to regain her crown. If only she'd release Rareties 2 this year all would be well.

New thing coming (108,501) by Bobby A from United States Yes. That is why I said 2026. Lol. I can see why she has discarded those ten songs from 2023. Something is coming after she records new songs. (Wednesday 2 April 2025; 16:33)
