Mariah confirms she's done 10 songs for new album (104,036) by Bill from the UK Surely by now the old girl could just finance the damn album herself. All this talk of her shopping around for a record deal is humiliating. She has the resources and star power to go it alone. All she ever does is complain about how such and such a single wasn't pushed, wrong song choices, was told to take songs off she liked, record company politics and blah blah blah. Put your money where your mouth is and go it alone. Tina Arena did so with her latest album because she was tired of the industry and being overlooked, despite being very talented. It did exceptionally well in Australia and was an excellent album too. (Monday 13 November 2023; 16:54) this is a reply to message 104,035

Mariah confirms she's done 10 songs for new album (104,035) by Bobby A from United States It seems like MC is getting ready to pitch a body work to get a new record deal. I think this is the way older artists are doing it these days. (Monday 13 November 2023; 16:45)

Mariah confirms she's done 10 songs for new album (104,030) by jaker20 from US Hopefully this is true, and that "done" is actually done lol. I'm also excited for the collab with Usher. Hopefully she delivers another Caution classic. (Monday 13 November 2023; 04:12)

Mariah Carey's Christmas movie (104,034) by Edward from USA As long as Mariah doesn't have anything to do with the script and directing, that could happen. (Monday 13 November 2023; 12:51) this is a reply to message 104,032

Mariah Carey's Christmas movie (104,032) by jaker20 from US I think Mariah should do a proper Christmas movie with a great story, and a good script, and all the music from Merry Christmas 1 and 2 and some new fun ones. Kind of like Meryl Streep's Mama Mia, but Christmas themed. I think that's a good idea. (Monday 13 November 2023; 04:49)

Whatsapp group (104,033) by Mara from United States Terna that's a great idea and I would love to be a part of something like that in real time. (Monday 13 November 2023; 07:07) this is a reply to message 104,029

Whatsapp group (104,029) by Terna from Nigeria We should have a dysfunctional Whatsapp group by now shouldn't we? Where we can communicate in real time and also be able to drag Andrew and Randy at random just because. Especially Andrew, during the Christmas seasons a tradition Special K started a while back for that wig comment he made. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:28)

Christmas Baby Please Come Home (104,031) by jaker20 from US This song needs a great updated new video and it's ready to smash alongside AIWFCIY. It's incredible how well this song is doing better and better every year. (Monday 13 November 2023; 04:20)

Birthday wishes from Mimi to Andrew (104,028) by Terna from Nigeria You need a hiatus too. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:16) this is a reply to message 104,025

Birthday wishes from Mimi to Andrew (104,025) by Andrew from the UK He calls himself a lamb Yet gets on those boards Trash talks who I am My scuffed up vocal cords He goes low with my weight My lighting gets his scorn Today I must say mate I curse that you were born An original poem by Randy. He's on hiatus from the board but it's so funny he said I could post it. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 17:29)

Talk show schedule (104,027) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Does anyone know Mimi's full talk show schedule for the coming months? She's been doing so much more TV recently and I don't know until after the fact. Thanks so much for the JHud tip this week. I've got it recorded now. Any other daytime or nighttime talk show appearances coming up? I love when Mariah does the talk show circuit. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:13)

Saint Harison (104,026) by Terna from Nigeria The Grammies. She already played to that tune multiple times over the span of the 90's and they paid her dust every single time, even when it was obvious that her's was the superior work. Mariah is not worried about that scam of a show trust me. They on the other hand through might be bothered seeing as I read somewhere on social media (IG) she's been nominated for the Hunter remix of "Working hard".

Saint Harison (104,024) by Bobby A from United States Okay, I understand. Love Takes Time is MC at her best. If we could just get back to that type of ballad, just maybe the Grammys will recognize MC with several nominations and awards in the near future. I really feel that she has gotten the memo. Plus, she is older now and she can't have rappers featured on her songs as much. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 14:35)

Saint Harison (104,023) by Bill from the UK Eh. Give me Love Takes Time any day of the week. Speaking of Love Takes Time, I noticed today that on the Qobuz streaming app (I'm one of 5 people in the world who use it, rather than Spotify as the sound quality is so much better), the version of Love Takes Time on the debut album has been replaced with the single version that was released on the single variants (CD, cassette and vinyl single releases). Most people don't notice it, but on the single version, the high note during the "feel that you do inside" line at the end of the bridge is pushed way, way back into the mix so you can barely hear it. The album version however has it much more prominently placed. The Greatest Hits and #1s albums retain the original version. I wonder why this got switched? Is this the same for Spotify and the others, I wonder. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 12:41)

Saint Harison (104,020) by Bobby A from United States My last ditch effort to bring you over to my side. Listen to his ballad, Lost a Friend. He sings in full voice and to me channels Amy Winehouse. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 21:33)

Saint Harison (104,021) by Bobby A from United States I know, but I am hoping it is a male this time. While we are on Taylor Swift, tell me why does every record store that I go into has their wall aligned with all of her vinyl records or a display stand in aisle. MC never got this treatment in the early 1990s. I remember hunting through the CD bin trying to find the CD maxi single of Can't Take That Away.

Saint Harison (104,018) by Edward from USA I think that only happens [once] in a lifetime. As much as I loved Whitney and like Celine, they couldn't quite get to me like Mariah did. While Whitney's voice was more powerful, Mariah's artistry was far superior and her voice more nuanced. Whitney would make any song presented to her sound as if she had written it. Mariah was more like a painter and decorative painter all in one. I don't remember anybody who could put together complicated background vocals like Mariah. Had social media been around back then, Mariah would've been twice bigger than Taylor [Swift.] I can't name a song by Taylor Swift, but the woman is a phenomenon. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 17:51)

Saint Harison (104,019) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I think one reason why Taylor Swift is so big is because there's no real competition anymore. There's only Adele in that age group. Compared to the 80ies and 90ies the music biz is really boring and almost dead. I had to google who Saint Harison is and started a song, but I couldn't listen more than 30 seconds. Bill I have the same thought. The voice is strange and unpleasant to my ears. I will listen to Marvin Gaye's album "What's goin' on" tonight. Masterpiece. The rythmn of "Inner City Blues" always gets me, music used to be so good. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 20:26)

Saint Harison (104,016) by Bobby A from United States I am trying my best to relive those first two years of being in awe with an artist like I was with MC. I still remember the record store where I bought her debut. I remember hearing Emotions on the radio headed to the mall. I am hoping Saint Harison is that artist. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 03:13)

Saint Harison (104,015) by Bill from the UK Sorry, I couldn't make it beyond 30 seconds. I prefer male singers that have stronger, lower voices. Male falsetto just doesn't sound good to my ears. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 01:24)

Saint Harison (104,013) by Bobby A from United States Did you check out his brillant performance of Ego Talkin on Jimmy Kimmel this week? You got to YouTube his performance. Somebody has been truly studying Mariah Carey. I am not making it up either, Andy. He said it in his Apple Music interview discussing his EP Lost A Friend. His vocal technique and phrasing is just like MC. Also, Daley is back on tour in January. (Saturday 11 November 2023; 00:11)

Mariah, please be ready (104,012) by Brandon from USA Andrew, I totally agree with [you]. You aren't being negative but just keeping it real. Some of us fans don't believe that Mariah is untouchable and can't be criticized. Anyone who has had the same job for 30 years should be an expert at that job, not still looking like a deer in headlights when on stage, which Mariah does in her live shows a lot. We are just asking her to put more effort into rehearsing for her shows, practicing singing her songs in her current range, put together a great entertaining show, and taking care of her voice for preservation. Isn't that what we all want? We aren't asking her to perform brain surgery or something that she isn't capable of. All of these things are within her control. She just doesn't seem that interested.

Mariah, please be ready (104,008) by Andrew from the UK I don't know how much money Mariah makes from royalties each year but it's surely got to be around the US$50m mark? I can appreciate the "rug pulled from under you" theory - but it's so unlikely as to be an impossibility. I cannot now see, at this age, and with the experience she has, why Mariah cannot lower the keys of the songs, sing them, and move around the stage once more. Madonna is ten years older than Mariah, recently got out of hospital, clearly still has an injury to her leg, and still is still delivering a reasonable energised and effective show (although there's a lot of criticism of a different nature that can be levelled at that artist). I have always said that I think Mariah's weight, and ever expanding breasts, have negatively impacted her movement and her singing - if she cared about her fans she would do something about it. She would lower the keys of her songs, put on a pair of pants, move about the stage again and have actual fun rather than looking like a (rein)deer in headlights. And we would have a lot more fun with it. For the love of all that is holy, Mariah: go back to the way you were. (Friday 10 November 2023; 09:15)
