MC the GOAT (110,755) by Lambi from USA

The Academy hates Mariah. It's very apparent Tommy infiltrated the board in '96 and wanted to humiliate the crap out of her since they were on the brink of divorce. They still objectively did her dirty during TEOM when she blatantly deserved AOTY and refused to give it to her.

Though the Grammys are desperate to save their credibility now, they thought making Beyoncé the most awarded in 2023 would reel in ratings, but it backfired. The general public's sentiment was, "Nah, she good, but she not that good." It worked for them having her until around 2015 imho, but everyone truly woke up after she won Best Country Album last year. Everyone thought, "Okay, so sponsored and paid by Jay-Z," which we all know is true. It's so clearly her retaliation for being snubbed in the Country Music Awards, so they called their friends up in the Grammy board. It was a pathetic move though, it's sadly backfired and now most of America think the Grammys is a joke. It turns out all the small towns throughout the nation know the authentic country sound and America is not just LA and New York.

Anywho, MC did surprisingly get an invite to the Grammys to present for Miley, so maybe they've cooled off on Mariah and are finally ready to develop a decent relationship with her. "Actually, so people think we're rigged and we need real talent again. You down?"

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (110,753) by Edward from USA

Stacey, sorry but the "wannabe" part was rejected. So, you're a true Daydream OG.

Guys, remember that "Reprimand MCA Remix" is a hidden track. That's why is not part of the official tracklist.

The men in Mariah songs (110,750) by TheWind from England

I believe the boy and girl referenced in Petals may be a reference to Tommy's children from his previous marriage. I don't know for sure, but it tracks in terms of Tommy having a boy and girl from his previous marriage. I read something to that effect a long long time ago, so please don't quote me on it. Nothing more than a theory at this point.

I love it. Taylor was cheering for Mariah during her emotional first Icon Award. Mariah responded, "You don't see people from the stage, but I love her, she was always so sweet from the first time I met her." If Mariah says she's sweet and got manners (unlike Christina) then we love her. We stan another respectful songwriting queen.

The men in Mariah songs (110,748) by Randy from USA

I'm fascinated by so many Mariah references and the songs she wrote them for and I kinda like she plays coy when asked. It's clear that Butterfly (backwardly), Can't Take That Away, Side Effects, Petals (the patriarch) are about Tommy. Clown and Obsessed are about Eminem. My All, The Roof and Honey are about Derek. The Impossible, Cry, The Art of Letting Go and Faded are about Nick. I Don't is about James Packer. GTFO is about Stella. That sums up the men. I wonder who is the boy and girl in Petals (they're bonded thru despondency) and is the knife chipping away at her is Walter A? I still believe he was at that table and said nothing and that's the falling out. Finally, I am 90% sure that Thirsty is about Damizza and not about Nick. And I Wish You Well, Alison, Brenda K Starr? What are ya'll thoughts?

Well I take anything we can get at this point. Swifties need to stream the mess out of Mariah's next single.

Type Dangerous Initial Talk Remix (110,746) by jaker20 from US

Wait, why do I like this more than the original and all the official remixes.

Unexpected allies (110,745) by jaker20 from US

I doubt it. I think Swifties in general have been nasty towards Mariah over the last few years. I think they are jealous of Mariah's legendary career in the same way that lambs used to be jealous of Madonna's legendary career. I don't think Taylor Swift deciding to release her album a week after Mariah's was by chance. She intended to do that. She's trying to show how big her current career is in relation to another legend, albeit someone past her prime.

But Mariah will come back in the holidays like she does every year.

#Beautiful video (110,744) by jaker20 from US

The video is bad and is low budget. They didn't even go in a proper location. It is the first Mariah lead single video that has no story and concept. All her lead single videos, apart from Loverboy, have some kind of story or good concept since Honey:
Honey
Heartbreaker
Through the Rain
It's Like That / WBT
TMB
Obsessed

MC the GOAT (110,743) by Giovanni from USA

If the music is good and there's a song worth being nominated, do you think the Academy would actually nominate her?

Excited (110,742) by Giovanni from USA

Maybe, I heard she might reveal the tracklist soon. I guess the one that was leaked might be legit after all. If so the songs look interesting. I can't wait to hear the gospel track with The Clark Sisters.

Go Team Swifties. Why is everyone now choosing the September 26th? Lol. I think MC is going to do well the first week. I posted on X that she will sell 300K-320K physical sales because of what Gamma has planned two weeks before 09.26.

Unexpected allies (110,740) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

So Kanye West is releasing his album on the same day as Mariah and I’m hearing rumblings about Swifties planning to stream Mariah to block Kanye since Kanye and Taylor have beef. I don’t know if it will gather steam but Swifties have done it before.
(Wednesday 27 August 2025; 15:02)

Excited (110,739) by Bobby A from United States

I have a good feeling "Mi" or "Play This Song" will be the 3rd single. Gamma is probably going to drop it a week before the album is released or on 09.26.

MC the GOAT (110,738) by Lambi from USA

I can't. Mariah looks absolutely stunning in her recent Instagram reel talking about the Mi era. I love how Kristofer does her lips and how she didn't get fillers like everyone else in Hollywood. She simply sculpts them with makeup in such a brilliant way. Mariah has found her signature looks and is unapologetically maximizing them. She is just "making the most of life". She truly is doing what ever the hell she wants and I aspire to be that festive.

"I'm about to reach a new beauty peak, darlings: body snatched, face snatched, a VMA moment, a BET Icon Award moment, maybe a couple of number ones, and beat The Beatles. A Grammy moment to remind everyone who the **** I am." She understands bipolar disorder is bleak, so she's choosing to experience all the highs to their fullest extent.

"I don't care. Buy the award. We're wealthy and fabulous. Buy the finest diamonds, it doesn't matter. Don't be bleak. I'm the queen of Christmas. I'm rich and sexy as hell darlings." I love how she's arrived at the point where she knows she is in fact the best, a cut above everyone, and is now getting whatever the **** she wants. Why? Because she simply can.

Type Dangerous Initial Talk Remix (110,737) by Lighty from China

I stumbled upon this mashup remix of Type Dangerous by Initial Talk on YouTube. It's so good, sounds nostalgic yet fresh. I don't recall anyone sharing this here so I posted. My favorite work by Initial Talk was Real Groove (Studio 2054 Initial Talk Remix) by Kylie Minogue & Dua Lipa. Such a great track.

Do not and I repeat do not come for the "#Beautiful" video. Mariah looks sexy as hell and so does Miguel haha.

GTFO video (110,735) by Dove from United States

GTFO video gives me Peggy Bundy vibes. I would have liked the video better if she was in a trailer park. Like Taylor Swift in You Need to Calm Down kind of trailer park but not as nice. Or the one Becky lived in with her husband on Roseanne.

The house she was in was too nice for the ensemble. There also needed to be a bunch of cigarette butts in an ashtray next to her and she needed to be chain smoking Betty Draper style and drinking boxed wine. Then she could have gone outside and smoked another one while leaning forward onto a waist height chain link fence. Then looking up at the sky trying to rise above it all. (The situation with the guy who needs to GTFO.)

I would have liked the outfit better if her top was just a teensy bit higher and covered her cleavage just a tiny bit more.

(Sorry if this is not PC. I lived in a trailer park when I was little so I'm not looking down on it or anything. The video we got gave me cheese wiz that comes in an aerosol can vibes.)

#Beautiful video (110,734) by Dove from United States

I really want to like the #Beautiful video because I love the song but it's so awkward to watch. And I hate to say it but cringe. Which is weird because the video is technically good. It looks like art. It's just... her poses and facial expressions don't look natural. Neither do Miguel's. It's funny because she looks better in the behind the scenes making the video footage than in the actual video. I really wish they would go back and rework that one.

Randy, what is your favorite song from Music Box? Something tells me it is a deep cut from Music Box. You always have fondness for MC's deep cuts.
