Haha. "Whispery chorus of Lullaby for the 27th time. Okay, you should just hug him goodbye. I get it." So funny. That song really never ends.

I get why some of you may be disappointed by the album's length, especially due to the time we've patiently waited for new material. I for one don't mind it. The appeal of Caution was how concise it was and that it felt like a tight, deliberate production. Shorter albums are easier to spin for me. As I don't do playlists and listen to an album end to end, it's much easier for me to play Emotions, Daydream or Unplugged than it is to book an afternoon off work to listen to the 97 tracks on Charmbracelet, and sit there watching my hair turn grey as she enters into the whispery chorus of Lullaby for the 27th time. Okay, you should just hug him goodbye. I get it.

Oh I agree Bill. I like that "Caution" worked well because of its lean, concise structure. I was pointing out the length of the songs/album because someone had speculated that "Mi" was a short intro/interlude and not a song.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,311)
by 4real4real from UK

Day 8: Glitter (2001) + Out Here On My Own (Rarities) + Loverboy (Original Firecracker Version) (The Rarities)
Here For It All will be released globally at midnight 26th September 2025, New York time. For full impact, commence streaming each album from midnight NY time in your local area.
September 18, Day 7 - tonight we hit the most misunderstood chapter of Mariah's catalogue: Glitter. For years it was the punchline, but we know better. This is the record where she finally had zero label restrictions (the movie's another story) and just let the music and her creative juices flow. You can literally hear her laughing on every uptempo. That's freedom on tape.
This was her first release on Virgin after breaking Janet's contract record with a $100M deal. Big leap, big pressure, but also a clean slate. And she made a soundtrack that doubles as one of the most fun, vocally crazy, 80s-inspired dance albums ever. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis still call it one of the best dance records of all time.
"Loverboy" was the lead. The biggest-selling song of 2001 and by now everyone knows the drama: the original Firecracker sample got snatched, so she reworked it overnight with Cameo's "Candy". We didn't hear the real version until The Rarities in 2020, and it was worth the wait. I like to stream both versions back to back, followed by the remix.
If the label had sense, they would've led with "If We". That thug love duet blueprint basically set the tone for half of the 2000s. And "Lead The Way"? That vocal climax is still one of the most technically perfect and emotional moments of her career. The clip of her singing it to the point of collapse goes viral once every few years for good reason. That's not a stunt, that's her giving everything.
The whole record is drenched in 80's sparkle and she was ahead of the revival by a few years. You can hear her love for Stacey Lattisaw, Kashif, Lisa Lisa... all over it. "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" is a perfect throwback including Jam & Lewis' original production. It's pure, fizzy fun and a cover Cherrelle's original, but with MC's voice wrapped around that Jam & Lewis production like silk.
Then there's "All My Life", one of the most underrated tracks in her whole catalogue. The story behind it is producer Rick James apparently requested everything be white for the session: white limo, white suit, and, well... let's just say a certain extra-white powdery "accessory". The song itself is smooth and dreamy, the kind of late-night groove you want on repeat until sunrise.
And shout-out to the Lambs for finally getting Glitter the respect it deserves: we pushed it to #1 on iTunes during the Caution countdown back in 2018, leading Mariah to finally allow it onto streaming. We're still waiting for the videos and singles, including all of the remixes, to get a proper release. Come on MC, come through. Can you swing it on home with a YouTube release, at least?
The movie turns 24 in two days, on the 21st. On that day we will be up to The Emancipation of Mimi on the countdown. Once you've spun the album, pair director Vondie Curtis Hall's Gridlock'd (1997, starring Tupac) with Glitter for a back to back double feature. See how Hall handled grit and glamour- and how Billie Frank deserved better.
So hit play and celebrate Mariah at her most unfiltered. Under the glitter there's heart, humour, and vocals for days. She made this for herself, but she left it here for us. LYM?
Mariah Carey "Here For It All" release countdown streaming calendar: Midnight Eastern Time September 19th Glitter, 20th Charmie, 21st Emancipation, 22nd E=MC2, 23rd Memoirs, 24th Elusive Chanteuse, 25th Caution plus beyond, 26th HFIA.

Day 6 - #1's (1998) + Sweetheart EP + I Still Believe EP + Do You Know Where You're Going To EP
September 17 is day 6 of the listening party, and we're stepping into the #1's era - a moment that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves, but is way more interesting than people give it credit for.
By '98, Mariah had officially shut the door on the Tommy chapter and was living in a new kind of freedom. She went above the execs and flew straight to Japan after the divorce to meet with the head of Sony and hammer out her exit. That meeting cleared the way for a new five-album deal and a chance to steer her own ship. The label pitched a standard "greatest hits", but MC felt it was too soon to put a bow on her first act. So she turned it into a thank you to the fans - a celebration of becoming the female artist with the most U.S. #1 singles (13 at that point, edging out Madonna's 12).
What makes #1's special is that it wasn't just a trophy case; she gave us four new songs to keep the story moving. Sweetheart, a cover of Rainy Davis's ‘86 jam, came via Jermaine Dupri. The JD collab is fun, but the solo Mariah mix is where the magic lives: the production has room to breathe and her voice is front and center. And those low low's. My oh my. I know many of you listen to Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker, in that order. The solo version slides perfectly between Honey and Heartbreaker.
And then there's When You Believe - the song that won an Oscar and gave us a moment nobody dared to dream of until it happened. Babyface built this sweeping gospel ballad for The Prince of Egypt, but it became something even bigger the instant Mariah and Whitney walked into the studio together. Two-thirds of the vocal trinity, finally side by side, not as rivals but as women with voices powerful enough to move mountains. You can feel the respect in every note, the way they listen to each other and lift each other up. What started as a soundtrack cut turned into the beginning of a real, lasting friendship between two legends who'd been unfairly set against each other for years. RIP Whitney - her light is still in that song.
I Still Believe is a full-circle moment: the Brenda K. Starr song she used to sing backing vocals on, now reimagined as her own. That EP is one of her best. The Pure Imagination remix, Stevie J's take with Mocha & Amil (her second all-female feature after the ABMB remix), and a stack of club mixes that still sound fresh today. The single made it to all the way to #4, proof that even her "bonus" tracks could almost hit the top.
Finally, Do You Know Where You're Going To (aka the Mahogany theme) finds Mariah leaning into introspection, and also into the Diana Ross lineage she's always nodded to. Tommy supposedly encouraged J.Lo to cover it after hearing Mariah wanted to release it as a single - so yes, it seems the seeds of sabotage were planted well before the Glitter days. But we love everybody and we move on.
And can we talk about the cover? That silver mini, the hair, the attitude, that pose - she looks sexy in the best way, referencing Ross's Diana album while serving "I'm free and I know it". It's easily one of her best covers.
Looking back, #1's quietly set a template: after MC, everyone from Michael Jackson to Destiny's Child to The Beatles put out their own "#1's" sets. But Mariah's wasn't just a compilation; it was a statement that she was still writing the story, even as she paused to celebrate the wins.
So spin the album and the EPs tonight. #1's might look like a stopgap on paper, but it's really the sound of an artist closing one door, opening another, and thanking the fans who'd been with her every step. LYM. Mariah Carey "Here For It All" release countdown streaming calendar: Midnight September 17th #1's, 18th Rainbow, 19th Glitter, 20th Charmie, 21st Emancipation, 22nd E=MC2, 23rd Memoirs, 24th Elusive Chanteuse, 25th Caution plus beyond, 26th HFIA.

Sarah McLachlan vs Mariah Carey (111,308)
by T from USA
| |
|
|
So Sarah McLachlan is kind of in the same situation as Mariah Carey right now. She is 57 years old (MC is 55 years old) and she hasn't released an album for eleven years (MC is at 7 years). So the similarities are there. But that's where they end. Sarah is doing amazing interviews where she just comes across as a real human being, who has been through things, is raising teens and has been able to create a new album. She seems so likeable and relatable. Now granted, she never had the pressure Mariah had, and never reached the heights Mariah reached, but maybe something can be said for a career that was totally in one's control vs a career that was so controlled. It's a shame Mariah didn't get the freedom Sarah always had since the start. But again, then maybe Mariah wouldn't have sold 200 million albums and singles.

by Lambi from USA

That is hilarious. Yup, I've helped a girlfriend find out if she was being cheated on by looking at her man's tagged photos. She thanked me endlessly. I'm exactly like your friend, I analyze people to their core too. Usually, I just know if I want to be around someone or not. They might not have necessarily done anything, but something in my spirit tells me no. It's a great thing. I've always been pretty blunt as well, and I'm not afraid to call people out on their BS.
Thanks, lamb. I'm a Bible-believing Christian, but you've just sparked an interest in me about zodiac signs. By the way, I may pursue being hired to be in Mariah's team soon so hopefully I get to relay a lot of lambs valid sentiments from here. It's not quite a solid decision yet though. Praying about it. Wish me luck.

Scorpios are natural detectives. I was once on a dating app for three days and my Scorpio female friend found out everything about a guy I went on a few dates with. Even what the inside of his house looked like (from when it was listed for sale before he bought it). She found so much information about him with very little. I think I just knew his name and his birthday. She always has the tea before anyone else at work too. She's low-key and quiet but she notices everything and people just tell her stuff. It's crazy. She doesn't like everyone so I'm thankful to have her as a friend. She's very loyal too. Scorpios and Geminis are supposed to be the "bad guys" of the zodiac but they're my favorite. I'm a Taurus.

Does anyone agree that Mariah ate in those two photos on the piano she posted on her Insta? The hair, the face card, the ensemble. That color looks so good on her and she does not look 56 at all. Now why couldn't she wear that instead of the Golden ensemble at the VMAS haha. I just can't let it go and never will. I never wanna see it again.

Hooker dresses (111,302)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
I miss so many ensembles and voice eras from Mariah but I really do miss the hooker dresses from 2008 lol. I just watched Mariah's performance at American Idol in 2008 performing "Bye Bye" and I loved the black hooker dress as well as the performance. She really looked so good and sounded amazing even Ryan Seacrest said so. I loved the moment one of the back up singers got loud and was letting her voice be heard lol I thought it was cute. 2008 was a good year for her vocally. Her chest voice was so powerful and she could belt loud and fierce. Also loved the pink hooker dress she wore on Good Morning America lol don't come at me they were hooker dresses but they looked so good on her and only Mariah could get away with wearing them. She will always be the prettiest and sexiest female singer of all time. She is not just legendary because of her voice, singing and songs but also because of her outfits.

I love Sarah Mclachlan, she is a legend. All these years later and she's still performing and making music. "Afterglow" is my favorite album from her. I've played it so many times and have never gotten tired of it. It's hands down one of her best albums.

Mariah the rapper (111,295)
by Randy from USA
| |
|
|
When JD was talking about Mariah wanting to be a rapper, it didn't click until I heard Mi. She's talking about if it ain't about money I don't wanna hear it. Then I thought about Rihanna's Bitch Better Have My Money and Beyoncé's Diva. So the lines are blurred. Singing fast and talking about brands, bling and hoes is now r&b and pop. I think now about the fast singing in We Belong Together and the first verse of More Than Just Friends and Type: Dangerous. MC is really an MC. Thank God Sarah McLachlan comes out tomorrow. I miss ballads and old fogey music. When MC invited ODB in on Fantasy in 95, I thought she had a lane and he had a lane. Worked for me. Mariah is a bob and weave kinda driver. I wonder how this'll all sound at 60? I know. I know. She doesn't acknowledge time.

They touched each other's legs under the table haha so hot and funny at the same time. They truly were hot for each other. In fact I bet she at one point was crazy about him sort of how she was with Derek Jeter. I'm glad I'm not the only Stan who wishes her and Bryan were still together and hopes Mariah finds love again.

I love it. We'll pray for the right man. Men are called to provide, and I bet Nick and Bryan both felt they came up short because you just can't out-earn Mariah. The guy has to be fully aware that she's an exception, not the rule, and her making more money shouldn't emasculate anyone. Literally, we all get it. Mariah is rich as hell.
The one time she's with a billionaire who can actually match her wealth, it blows up in her face. Mariah's insane with money. She sued Packer for $50 million and walked away with 5 to 10 million plus kept the 35-carat diamond ring. I think at this time, she still has residual anger from divorcing Nick so she may have subconsciously lashed the rest of the anger out, on a billionaire.
Bad move though, because after much thinking, and with how Packer has now been exposed in high-profile corruption involving the Israeli Prime Minister who has crazy power in the US government and Hollywood, I'm now inclined to believe that he pulled some strings behind the scenes to get back at her. Their settlement was November 2016, and Mariah's public humiliation happened December 2016. That was such a straight savage move, and I feel stupid for not seeing the picture clearer much sooner. I wouldn't be shocked if Stella was instrumental on this inside job and was paid off as well. I thought Nick sounded stupid when he said, "The government did that," but now I see you can literally draw a straight line from Mariah to Packer to the US government, and it makes perfect sense.
Anyway, my point is that Bryan was truly a godsend to her at that time. I wish their romance had blossomed the first time they met on the tour bus in 2006. Their love story was cute: "We sprawled out over several tables and booths. We'd already started shooting flirty glances at each other in the bus about twenty miles back. We sat across from each other in a booth like eighth graders. We softly touched each other's legs under the table, undetected while the rest of the party roared on." And it's crazy how this is the same man who saved her exactly 10 years later, during what would become the darkest time of her life.

That's good to know. I prefer longer albums and songs. I want something for my money. Lol. But seriously 2.49 is really short for a song. The same with "Type Dangerous", it should have been 30 seconds longer for my taste. Do we get one "Beautiful ones" running time for compensation? Maybe the gospel song? Oh I checked it. The one I was looking for is "Here for it all" with 6:37 minutes.

The song lengths have been posted on the Wikipedia entry for the album. The album is listed at 39:44 length, and "Mi" is listed at "2:49". Looks like this album is almost as short as "Caution" was... if those lengths are accurate.

Mariah the rapper (111,295)
by Randy from USA
| |
|

When JD was talking about Mariah wanting to be a rapper, it didn't click until I heard Mi. She's talking about if it ain't about money I don't wanna hear it. Then I thought about Rihanna's Bitch Better Have My Money and Beyoncé's Diva. So the lines are blurred. Singing fast and talking about brands, bling and hoes is now r&b and pop. I think now about the fast singing in We Belong Together and the first verse of More Than Just Friends and Type: Dangerous. MC is really an MC. Thank God Sarah McLachlan comes out tomorrow. I miss ballads and old fogey music. When MC invited ODB in on Fantasy in 95, I thought she had a lane and he had a lane. Worked for me. Mariah is a bob and weave kinda driver. I wonder how this'll all sound at 60? I know. I know. She doesn't acknowledge time.

I think Mi is just an intro and not a full song. MC said at Apple that there are 10-11 songs on the album. Maybe she just sees Mi as an overture.

Dang girl, you’re on detective mode. (Are you a Scorpio?) You and Bill always have the minute details the rest of us forget about. Color me impressed.

Packer (111,288)
by Lambi from USA

I love it. We'll pray for the right man. Men are called to provide, and I bet Nick and Bryan both felt they came up short because you just can't out-earn Mariah. The guy has to be fully aware that she's an exception, not the rule, and her making more money shouldn't emasculate anyone. Literally, we all get it. Mariah is rich as hell.
The one time she's with a billionaire who can actually match her wealth, it blows up in her face. Mariah's insane with money. She sued Packer for $50 million and walked away with 5 to 10 million plus kept the 35-carat diamond ring. I think at this time, she still has residual anger from divorcing Nick so she may have subconsciously lashed the rest of the anger out, on a billionaire.
Bad move though, because after much thinking, and with how Packer has now been exposed in high-profile corruption involving the Israeli Prime Minister who has crazy power in the US government and Hollywood, I'm now inclined to believe that he pulled some strings behind the scenes to get back at her. Their settlement was November 2016, and Mariah's public humiliation happened December 2016. That was such a straight savage move, and I feel stupid for not seeing the picture clearer much sooner. I wouldn't be shocked if Stella was instrumental on this inside job and was paid off as well. I thought Nick sounded stupid when he said, "The government did that," but now I see you can literally draw a straight line from Mariah to Packer to the US government, and it makes perfect sense.
Anyway, my point is that Bryan was truly a godsend to her at that time. I wish their romance had blossomed the first time they met on the tour bus in 2006. Their love story was cute: "We sprawled out over several tables and booths. We'd already started shooting flirty glances at each other in the bus about twenty miles back. We sat across from each other in a booth like eighth graders. We softly touched each other's legs under the table, undetected while the rest of the party roared on." And it's crazy how this is the same man who saved her exactly 10 years later, during what would become the darkest time of her life.

I think I'm both. I relate to the Rainbows and Butterflies aspect, but I have been a fan since 1990. I was a kid but I can say I've lived through all of her eras.

The OGs have a separate category dahling. We are fans but wouldn’t say we act like lambs. The only cross over is our ruler Bobby A who is a combination of every type of fan you can have which is why he is the best one.

I think the next single will be "Mi" or "Play this song". There's a snippet that was released on YouTube and on Mariah's Insta. It sounds interesting and very Mariah.

Right and the OG's. I was grouping "OG's" with Lambs since "Lambs" are Mariah Carey fans. But we can make a separate category.
