Rock & Roll Hall of Fame plus Tony (102,649) by Edward from USA She'll eventually be inducted, Randy, just be patient. As for an EGOT, well, she could definitely get an EGT. Even if her fairy godmother turned her into a great actress, I doubt she would ever get an Oscar. It's OK though, she doesn't need it. I've always pictured 90's Mariah playing Sandy on a Grease remake. (Wednesday 3 May 2023; 20:58) this is a reply to message 102,647

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame plus Tony (102,647) by Randy from USA So again MC doesn't make it? And every relevant pop diva has (Madonna, Janet and Whitney). I'm disgusted. But yass queens and delusionals will say she doesn't need it, she's broken records and she's a legend in her own right. The Tony award nomination is exciting. Imagine if MC was to eventually earn an EGOT. She should've been nominated for an Oscar for Right To Dream. Oh shut up y'all. (Wednesday 3 May 2023; 17:25)

What is your initial fan story? (102,646) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really enjoyed to read all the different stories. Here's mine: As a kid I always loved "Without you", it was played every evening on the radio and of course on MTV. Then two or three years later I had my own little radio which was playing all the time. And then the magic happend. I heard "Fantasy" and I became addicted to this song. When Daydream was released I bought it as my first real album (eurodance mix tape doesn't count lol) as a cassette. I still have it, but lost the case. Anyway my love for Mariah increased from that day on. Daydream was "my" album and my treasure. "Open Arms", "One sweet day" and "Always be my baby", huge hits and Mariah Mania was going on. I was so proud of my good taste. And I loved the "Fantasy" video so much, Mariah was the sweetest and coolest girl for me with the best voice I've ever heard. Everything was outstanding, her look, her voice, her charisma. I bought "Music Box", "Emotions" and her debut on CD and I could not believe how good all the albums were. I knew from that day, that I will always love her music. Taste changes, of course mine did as well, but the love for Mariah's music stayed. Funny side note: my mom had bought the debut in 90 because she loved "Vision of love". (Tuesday 2 May 2023; 12:01) this is a reply to message 102,636

What is your initial fan story? (102,636) by Terna from Nigeria It was multiple occurrences for me. And random pop ups of her music anytime I was on MTV, or on the radio trying to capture my favorite music videos and songs on VHS and cassette respectively. (Good old 90's.) Then I started to take note that she was the singer of so many songs I knew, loved, but didn't know who sang them - "Love Takes Time", "Vision of Love" (finally watched the video while going "oh, it has a video"?), "Anytime you need a friend" and "Hero". I was a die hard Céline fan and so when buying a new Céline CD, I also bought Mariah's new CD - "Butterfly". (Thursday 27 April 2023; 19:34)

Why is MC such a brilliant songwriter? (102,645) by Bobby A from United States This question came to my mind yesterday watching one of the American Idol contestants perform one of Stevie Wonder's most well known hits- For Once In My Life. Stevie Wonder will always be regarded as a brilliant songwriter because of his unique ability to draw in the listener with his lyrics and melodies. And that is exactly what MC does with her lyrics and melodies. Lastly, MC does that unique humming and singing to the melody of her songs that very few singers do. ABMB is a huge example of MC at her best. MC is one of the greatest songwriters to live. What do the Lambs think? (Monday 1 May 2023; 20:00)

Lovers and Friends performance (102,644) by Bobby A from United States MC is going to make the Lambs proud in one week. She has had 6 months of vocal rest and is looking good in recent pictures. I just feel it is going to be a very special performance. (Sunday 30 April 2023; 01:11)

AI Mariah Carey songs (102,635) by Edward from USA I asked AI to write song as Mariah Carey would write it, and here's what it came up with. Verse 1: I never thought that love could be so real, But then you walked into my life, and now I feel, A passion deep inside my soul, A flame that burns beyond control. Chorus: Cause you're the one that I need, You're the air that I breathe, And I can't imagine living without you, Cause you're my forever love, And I thank the stars above, For bringing me to you, my love. Verse 2: With every breath I take, I feel your love, It's like a melody, that's sung from up above, And every time I look into your eyes, I'm lost in a world, where love never dies. Chorus: Cause you're the one that I need, You're the air that I breathe, And I can't imagine living without you, Cause you're my forever love, And I thank the stars above, For bringing me to you, my love. Bridge: And in this world, that's so full of pain, You are the sunshine, that breaks through the rain, And I'll never let you go, my heart's in your hands, Cause baby, you're the one that I need, the only one that understands. Chorus: Cause you're the one that I need, You're the air that I breathe, And I can't imagine living without you, Cause you're my forever love, And I thank the stars above, For bringing me to you, my love. Outro: Cause baby, you're my forever love, And I'll thank the stars above, For giving me you, my love. (Thursday 27 April 2023; 18:52)

Taylor Swift (102,641) by Terna from Nigeria Not even close, and that was a time with no social media platforms, nor streaming views yet her popularity was a this global mammoth lasting frenzy, right from her debut album that even lasted well into the 2000's and with Mariah it wasn't just with the young generation at the time, it was every age demographic. She was and still is the real deal. (Friday 28 April 2023; 22:40) this is a reply to message 102,640

Taylor Swift (102,640) by Bobby A from United States Do you think that Taylor Swift's enormous popularity right now is mirroring MC's popularity years of 1993-1998? It just seems to me that her fanbase had really increased out nowhere in the past 3 years. She is definitely a business woman who knows what to give her fans to make them go crazy and spend money. One thing, I would like to know is why she can't get a man to put a ring on it? She has had more boyfriends that has exceeded the number of fingers on MC's one hand. You know I had to quote MC. Lol.

Legacy and whatnots (102,638) by "MariahHater" from Hell Coming up on December 2023 is Mariah Carey's Magical Chipmunks Christmas featuring the Chipmunks. Sorry I find it hilarious for the chipmunks huhu can't wash it out from my brain. Earlier this week I have listened to Caution and understood that Mariah delivered her best vocally restricted album. Compare it with singers who don't have ranges but dwell on their artistry. Take Sza for an example. She doesn't belt like Mariah but still sounds good on her records. What I wanted to point out is that we are used to hear the whole 5 octaves, crazy runs and belts that we underappreciate what she can do in her comfy range (excluding whistles). (Friday 28 April 2023; 01:55) this is a reply to message 102,609

Legacy (102,609) by T from USA I think there are two things at play. One, is her voice is not there to record a whole album without being bashed that it sounds too chipmunky with the technology used to prop it up. The second is that for whatever reason (maybe reason number one) is that no label wants to sign her for the money she wants. Some of the biggest career missteps after TEOM that could have helped preserve her superstar status would've been releasing Migrate, and also promoting MOAIA to its full potential. So many cancelled business dealings like VH1 Storytellers etc during that era. Her Idol experience and the album that she was clearly forced to make by Island/Def Jam and Barry Weiss at the time were a mess. Very unprofessional. Just by correcting those three little things would've totally changed the game for her right now. Record Labels are very weary right now about signing people to big money. Mariah isn't the most reliable or bankable artist if it's not AIWFCIY related. As a fan I would love one more full length album. I don't think we will see that until at least 2025 to be honest. Writing has always been her cathartic release, I guess she got that when she wrote the book. Now there is no need at the moment. The artist that used to write because she loved it has turned more into a business women who writes when the money is there. If anything, can't she do her fans one more thing and at least finish the MC30 that she started by putting HateU remix and others on streaming? (Saturday 22 April 2023; 14:39)

What is your initial fan story? (102,634) by Jamie from UK I was watching the chart show on TV in the UK when Vision of Love came on, I was mesmerised by her voice. I remember seeing Love Takes Time and Can't Let Go on that same show too. I don't remember hearing Someday, Emotions and Make it Happen. I was a big Madonna fan at that point and my wall was covered in posters, I began to build up a collection of Mariah posters which were sparse in the UK in the early days, gradually she took over and Madonna was gone lol. I used to record Mariah songs off the radio as I was only 11 at the time so didn't have my own disposable money to buy CD's. I loved being a Mariah fan back then as no one had heard of her, and I'd say she's an American soul singer. A few years later in 93 my mate got Music Box on CD and made me a copy on cassette which I still have. I was truly hooked by now. Hence why Music Box is my favourite album. A few months later I got a part time job and started to build my collection. I'd go into Manchester every chance I got, the music shops there had a huge singles section and was able to pick up the majority of her singles to date including USA imports and the odd Australian import. I went to record fairs and found even more rare CD's and records. Every chance I got I'd buy something. I miss collecting CD's and getting every version I could it's a shame times have changed.

Reading the signs (102,633) by Brad from USA I don't generally comment on predictions of what projects will come from Mariah. Over 33 years, I've learned it's unpredictable. I think some of us are confused because inklings, including words by Mariah herself, have indicated that she recorded during the pandemic and also that she did recordings with "newer" artists and more established, legacy artists (Ms. Patti?). As well, she has mentioned the Lee Daniels helmed biopic based on her memoir. When she was on the late shows a while back to promote her Christmas children's book, she mentioned a project with Millie Bobby Brown. She also intimated a project based on said children's book. Therefore, there is a lot of reason to think there are projects that are forthcoming, even if not imminent in their release. Certainly, generating monies is key as it takes a team to "be Mariah Carey". That isn't cheap and has to be worth the while for a legacy artist that doesn't seem inclined to tour. I'm glad to see she is open to using her catalogue in film to generate revenues (Beau is Afraid). I do wonder what her recent apparent connection with the Kardashians means, if anything, as well as the meaning behind her recent birthday post pointing to the poster "I am going to need a bigger boat." There's also her apparent recent weight loss and what that could mean (hopefully other than just Ozempic use). If it's marriage again, I do hope she has a solid pre-nup this time. Her most former spouse got too big a slice when they split. Anyhow, projects are likely coming, we must be patient and enjoy them fully as they evolve. Be well. (Tuesday 25 April 2023; 23:27)

What is your initial fan story? (102,632) by Libra Lamb from USA When I first heard Fantasy, and the song was everywhere at that time, I knew that there was something special about Mariah. I'd heard some of her other songs before but I was too young or distracted to appreciate them and notice her. I bought her back catalogue and fell in love even more with her, the lyrics and her unique voice. Eventually I started collecting singles and albums to obtain every possible version of her songs. Teenage years were the toughest for me so I would put on my earphones and fall asleep listening to her albums every night and I would be instantly transported to my happy place. I remember the introspective songs the most, as a gay man I always felt like an outsider myself and I felt comfort in knowing that it would all be okay someday because Mariah told me so. Thank you Mariah for the music. We will always have the amazing unparalleled catalogue that we have affectionately dubbed the soundtrack to our lives.

Predictions (102,631) by T from USA If I was to wager a guess, I'd say that she's fallen out of love with the business. Look Rihanna doesn't even release music anymore. Everything has changed. Mariah isn't just a business-woman, she's a business. And the best business for her going forward is Christmas. And only Christmas. When she signed with Epic it was because her friend LA Reid was heading the label. He was fired in 2017 and she still had to eventually get an album out as per contract. So she did one in less than a year. I do think she didn't see eye to eye with the new bosses there and something defiantly happened during the rollout of Caution. The Rarities was self released. The best thing that could've happened with returning to Sony was the 25th Anniversary of Merry Christmas and getting AIWFCIY to #1 and that job was done perfectly. As for Roc Nation? Anyone's guess is as good as mine. There was a report that she and Jay had a fight which she promptly rebutted. But sometimes with Mariah where there's smoke there's fire so maybe the whole rollout with Caution left a bad taste in her mouth. One thing we do know, since Glitter, we've learned that Mariah does not like to fail with an album. It's important to her to succeed. Unfortunately Caution underperformed so now she pretends like doesn't exist. It has joined Glitter, and she has distanced herself from anyone involved in the perceived failure. I agree that she needs to get back with musicians like Babyface who can inspire. And just create music. Do the thing she used to do before the pressure of fame was too much. On a side note, I do think it's always been about money for Mariah. Even in the beginning when she was all about getting a record deal, she shopped around many labels to get the best deal. She's always thought of the money, especially during 2001 with Virgin records and again in 2013 with American Idol. Right now there's no money in music, so my prediction is that we won't be hearing from her for a while. (Tuesday 25 April 2023; 14:12) this is a reply to message 102,629

Predictions (102,629) by Bobby A from United States So T, do you think MC's need for time and space can be contributed to how she characterizes record labels and high profile management companies as the corporate morgue? What happened between MC and Epic with the rollout of Caution? Did something go terribly wrong with trying to secure Cardi B for thr A No No remix? Why did she suddenly leave Roc Nation to sign with Range Media. Why is she now in 2023 without a record label? Someone pissed MC off and has caused this need for time and space. This need is unusual for a MC who would record a new record every two years. I know she has gotten older, but it just seems like someone has caused this downward turn in MC's career. She needs Babyface to come rescue her like he did Toni Braxton. I hope that she is happy and is just waiting for the right time for her third comeback. (Tuesday 25 April 2023; 04:42)

What is your initial fan story? (102,630) by Tevin from USA I was three when Daydream came out, and one of the first songs that I remember hearing in life was Always Be My Baby. (Still my favorite non ballad MC song.) It was played by everyone, all on happy occasions, so every time I hear that song, I remember great memories of my early childhood. But I had two moments when I became a fan. One was when I was four and Butterfly came out. I remember my dad bought that album and so did a lot of my close family. My mom told me I would stare at the cover art of that album (side note and also Brandy's album too) lol. Anyway we all were on some road trip and the song Butterfly came on. I remember my aunt, with a confused look on her face, saying to my cousin "why is she singing like that" (she was talking about Mariah's whisper register). Then comes the bridge and climax. Then I hear her say oh wow, that's the Mariah I know. Let me tell you being so young only 4 and hearing that bridge and climax of Butterfly, I thought to myself, this is the best voice I ever heard. It is forever etched into my memory. That and my mom and dad butchering the high belts in Honey. Hahah. Anyway my second fan story is of course the TEOM era when I was old enough to truly appreciate the mega star that Mariah was and literally every TV station and radio station had her on rotate for a solid year and half. Man other than 96, 2005-early 07 was peak Mimi takeover. I miss those days. (Tuesday 25 April 2023; 05:26) this is a reply to message 102,626

Predictions (102,621) by T from USA None of these predictions will happen. At least not this year. Her close friend and lamb correspondent already confirmed on Twitter that no SUD and no Butterfly Lounge this year. She also noted that Mariah is a human being who needs time and space and cannot just snap her fingers and produce an album. So she urged patience. I only bring this bad news so to temper expectations. There are no new Mariah songs this years. (Monday 24 April 2023; 14:33)

Predictions (102,628) by T from USA No word on another Rarities. It would be nice but we don't even know if there are enough finished/polished songs to make up a whole album. I for one think Rarities albums are a great idea because there is no pressure for sales or any real expectations. It's strictly for the fans and keeps the lambily active until she does get the inspiration to record again. But then again, Mariah herself never said there would be a sequel and maybe it was a one off to coincide her book. Sort of a track listing to some of the songs she mentions in her memoir. If I could wish something into existence I would want a Remixes II and a Rarities II. (Tuesday 25 April 2023; 00:41) this is a reply to message 102,622

Predictions (102,622) by Tevin from USA Thanks T for the insight. Any word on a Rarities 2 or continuation of MC 30? Granted that means more work behind the scenes for Mariah, but she doesn't have to create new songs or a album since they would have already existed. (Monday 24 April 2023; 15:06)

What is your initial fan story? (102,627) by Aliya from Canada I may have become a fan a little later than others, but I'll still tell my story.

I guess growing up in the early 2000's I didn't realize that belting even existed or that someone could hold a note for that long. Artists on the radio all sounded the same, and she stood out.

What is your initial fan story? (102,626) by Edward from USA I was in Kindergarten when Ms. Nuñez played "Open Arms" for us. I stood there open-mouthed, like flabbergasted. A year later I got emancipated and made my mother buy me the Daydream album. (Monday 24 April 2023; 23:36) this is a reply to message 102,623

What is your initial fan story? (102,623) by TJ from Norway I became a fan after watching her debut video in 1990. Vision of Love is still one of my favourite songs. The video brings back so many memories. What I am really sad about is the fact that I didn't realise the reason to buy singles before 1992-93. I remember looking at this Love Takes Time cd single in Copenhagen. It had a cover of her sitting in a chair. Lovely picture. (Monday 24 April 2023; 19:36)

What is your initial fan story? (102,625) by Bill from the UK My brother was watching the MTV countdown and I walked into the room as "Dreamlover" came on. I stood there, "mesmerised". The song, her voice, the video, her look. I fell in love that day and life was never the same again. I had no idea what a huge part of my life, and my heart, she would go on to take.
