Questions for JD (103,744) by Edward from USA When Mariah listens to her managers, things usually go right but when she's too involved, all hell tend to break loose. I fell sorry for JD, it's a good thing he walked away and preserved their friendship. As Nick once said: "Mariah will always do Mariah." Other than Benny Medina who checked her, took control and had a successful run with her, the rest that followed weren't really managing her, since she was doing whatever the f she wanted. JD said it in an interview about his plans for MIAM but Mariah was reluctant to follow through. When shit hit the fan, the crazy lambs crucified him. And guess who wasn't there at the cross to comfort him, give him water and clean his wounds? Exactly, Virgin Mariah wasn't. Had Mariah not listened to JD when he told her to sing full voice for TEOM, that album would've been another whisper album like Charmbracelet.

Questions for JD (103,739) by Bobby A from United States Just flipping through my Mariah book looking at all of the managers MC has had in 30 years. The most shocking manager era was when JD became her manager. After 10 years later, I have questions for JD. What happened between you and MC that caused your management deal with MC to end?. Did you have a different direction for MIAM after the Walmart TAOLG leak? Did you ever suggest to MC that she retire in 2013 after the commercial failure of MIAM? What is the music industry saying about MC's lack of vocal ability now? What is your favorite MC collaboration? Finally, why did you allow MC to record I Don't and Save The Day?

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,743) by Bobby A from United States We will know by the end of the Merry Christmas One and All shows where MC's career will be next year. There is a reason why she doesn't have a recording contract right now. MC knows why she doesn't have a recording contract. No one would have believed in 1997 that the greatest female singer in world would not have a recording contract in 2023. It's sad that she couldn't get a indie or Shanachie recording contract right now. No label executive wants to invest money in her with the current state of her voice. There is talk among label executives about MC's career. We are no longer in an extended break between albums. We are in an official undisclosed album hiatus right now.

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,738) by Edward from USA I agree. Mariah has been in control of her career since Butterfly. I have said this so many times, but I'll say it again: In an interview with Perez Hilton back in 2008, when there were rumors that Migrate would be the second single, he asked about it and Mariah quickly let him know that she knew what she was doing, that the second single would be a ballad. They really thought Bye Bye would be a smash. Some of these delulu should have hold Mariah accountable for her bad decisions and stop justifying shit. (Friday 13 October 2023; 21:32)

It’s A Wrap 12" (103,742) by Jamie from UK Is a 12" release really necessary or wanted? I get it was popular on TikTok but it's not like it broke the charts. I find Mariah fixates on something these days even when the moment has passed it desperate need for it to be popular. I wish she would fixate on getting herself back to a calm and controlled person again rather than being erratic and not being able to just have a conversation. (Saturday 14 October 2023; 09:22)

It's A Wrap visualizer (103,736) by enwar00 from usa Mariah just released a new visualizer for It's a Wrap. I'm sure everyone will love it. (Friday 13 October 2023; 19:03)

It's A Wrap visualizer (103,740) by Andrew from the UK I wish it were possible to unsee things. Pray tell, who is that cartoon woman? It’s certainly not Mariah Carey. Watch that video and then think back to, say, Anytime You Need A Friend at Proctor's Theatre. Could you ever have imagined, in the most wild of your dreamings, that the Mariah who sang that song on that stage that fateful night would go on to produce utter visual and audio cack such as this?

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,734) by Brandon from USA Just because you are tired doesn't mean [you] give a lazy performance to people who have paid money to see [you]. It's not as if she was in the midst of a long tour and made a special effort to perform at this wedding. Her last performance was months ago. Beyoncé just came off of a 50+ date tour in stadiums with an almost 3 hour high energy show and gave it every night. I'm sure there were nights when she didn't feel like it but still gave her all. We shouldn't blame jet lag because she should have gotten there early enough to get some rest and be prepared, knowing how long it takes to get over there. I'm confused as to why some fans lower to bar to the ground for Mariah when she is capable of so much more. She's only 54 and still young and beautiful in my eyes. She's not some frail old woman. She just doesn't try much anymore which is frustrating. I hope she's able to muster up some energy and vocal stamina to get through this Christmas tour. (Friday 13 October 2023; 16:01)

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,737) by Zachariah from Croatia I hear you and to be honest, I would like to see her and just pull her aside and ask her - girl, what is happening and how can we help? Damn. So frustrating sometimes. (Friday 13 October 2023; 19:23) this is a reply to message 103,734

Non Mariah - Xtina X Latto JustEatUK Commercial (103,735) by "MariahHater" from Hell How I wish Mariah can make something like this again. Last time was 2008 with MTV shorts and her 2005 Pepsi stint. With her legacy and power, I hope she can still deliver that kind of showmanship which she has completely lost effective 2014. (Friday 13 October 2023; 17:52)

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,733) by Scftydreamer from United States I don't think something was wrong maybe she was tired and the concert was private maybe it was quick little gig like how a few of todays artist perform at colleges they do their one two and leave treating it like a gig and besides she's proven herself by just standing around and giving effortlessly vocals for many years she don't have to anymore in my heart but I'm so excited to see what she has planned in the next few days and I can't wait.

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,732) by Bobby A from United States Lol. We may not find out until 20 years later what is truly wrong with Mariah. Maybe she has been suffering long-term effects from dislocating her shoulder in 2013. She hasn't moved on stage much since 2013. We may never know what is going on with MC. It took her 17 years to tell the world that she is bipolar. (Friday 13 October 2023; 00:14)

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,729) by Brandon from USA Something is definitely wrong here. I have been saying the same thing. Although she looked beautiful in the MB30 videos, I'm like why can't she just move and act naturally. It's very irritating sometimes. Then when she performs in Qatar, she's almost lifeless on stage, standing almost completely still and not performing at the level of a superstar who's been on stage for 30+ years. Let's not even talk about how much of the show she was lip syncing. I'm not sure what is going on behind the scenes but something definitely isn't quite right. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 22:34)

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,731) by Andrew from the UK Surely the point to make to Mariah is, "I'm ever so sorry but you do quite awfully seem to not be behaving in a way that normal human beings behave, and we were just wondering if you could, um, stop?

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,725) by Andrew from the UK Mariah is completely incapable these days of remaining still in a shot: she does about 20 different facial expressions that are not natural (that is, not reacting normally to the external input), she hunches her shoulders, clenches her fists, she gives up after a while then throws her arms in front of her face whilst diving out of shot, she seems incapable of breathing at normal places during a sentence, and she stresses love vowels which is irratating ("you said do the hiiiigh nooooote"). It's weird. No, it's super weird. No, its super-[censored] weird. What on Earth is going on in her head? Can't she just be natural, for once? And she should stop with the All I Want For Christmas Is You nonsense until after Thanksgiving. It is not as if it is not possible for people to get sick of the song - and (whilst I may only be able to speak for British, and perhaps Western, people) it will turn good-will on its head if people thing she is using Christmas for self-promotion to fill a bank account. Good will is so easy to lose. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 15:52)

Einstein re-release in 2009 instead (103,728) by jaker20 from US When she mentioned "vault" I think that's what she's referring to, so it's possible. But I also think the best of that list is on E=MC2. That album sounds like every song is a single, and now we realize that that's not necessarily a good thing.

Migrate (103,724) by Bobby A from United States I was just thinking about Migrate and how it was such misstep in her career that cost her a #1 song. Mariah Carey's top five negative career decisions are the following: 1. Migrate - Island/Def Jam's decision not releasing it as the second single. 2. Glitter - I don't need to say why. 3. American Idol - She was made a mockery of by the producers for ratings. Let's have the viewers tune in each week to see Mariah and Nicki fight on live TV. 4. Through The Rain - Prior to Charmbracelet, MC had never released a ballad as her first single. 5. A No No - The failure of securing Cardi B. was a shame and let down after all the hype about the talk of Cardi B. on the remix. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 13:01)

Butterfly the song (103,722) by Bobby A from United States I remember R&B radio in 1997 playing Butterfly like every hour when the video was released. Butterfly is MC's best written song from the 90s. So, why hasn't it ever been covered? But, who could cover it today and sing it well? Coco Jones? Ariana Grande? Tamar Braxton? So that brings me to my final question. Why hasn't MC had an allstar tribute album like Aretha, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Luther? Isn't she worthy of such a tribute after 30 years in the music business? I think that she is worthy. It would probably be a platinum selling album too. Butterfly brought me here because this song signifies why MC is the greatest at melody and lyrics. Tommy must have lost it when he heard Butterfly that he had to set MC free.

2013 The Art Of Letting Go (103,721) by Bobby A from United States I love it, T. This could have been the tracklisting to propell TAOLG to platinum status. Great choice with BGK as track #1. (Wednesday 11 October 2023; 23:02) this is a reply to message 103,719

2013 The Art Of Letting Go (103,719) by T from USA I've always seen this record as an old school vibe album so obviously I would include Mesmerized, which was recorded in 2012. I would've also loved Up Out Of My Face on that album as it's a way of letting someone go. Imagine the duet with Nicki at that stage during American Idol? All in all I'd keep the album short and sweet but impactful. PS. I always pictured Betcha, Hate U, and It's a Wrap also perfect fits for it. Look at the story this album would tell about her relationship: 1. Betcha Gon' Know 2. Faded 3. Up Out My Face (ft. Nicki Minaj) 4. H.A.T.E.U. 5. Dedicated (ft. Nas) 6. Beautiful (ft. Miguel) 7. You're Mine 8. You Don't Know What To Do 9. Camouflage 10. Mesmerized 11. Cry 12. Meteorite 13. It's A Wrap (ft. Mary J Blige) 14. The Art Of Letting Go PS. I still think Obsessed on Einstein would've been a game changer. (Wednesday 11 October 2023; 20:56)
