Re: Did Mariah ever work with The Matrix? (100,418) (100,419) by T from USA I would love a Rarities part 2 with songs that we had no clue even existed. (Friday 10 June 2022; 01:17)

Did Mariah ever work with The Matrix? (100,418) by bliss! from Brazil I read an article that said Mariah was set to work with The Matrix (production team responsible for some of Avril Lavigne hits) in 2003. Did that ever happen? Also, did she ever work with Korean reggae artist Skull? (Thursday 9 June 2022; 18:15)

Re: Mariah on Twitter spaces (100,416) (100,417) by SM from Citizen of the World I think it's a sweet way for fans to connect with Mariah. On another note, for me IMO she always sounds like a broken record. She never has information and everything is hush hush and she can't talk about anything. I get it, projects have to be but at the same time it's boring and I would rather her come out when she can discuss actual details on a project and what it means to her.

Re: Mariah on Twitter spaces (100,414) (100,416) by Lady B from USA Was anyone else on? I thought it was fun. That Prince story! (Thursday 9 June 2022; 16:49)

Curl-Riah (100,415) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm obsessed with Mimi's new hair in the Black Irish promo video. Gorgeous. Stunning. Big. Bold. Fabulous. How can she not be putting out a new album with hair this perfect? This hair is made for a new album cover and lead single. (Thursday 9 June 2022; 00:47)

Re: Mariah on Twitter spaces (100,412) (100,414) by Bobby A from United States MC is fooling us. She has been advised not to disclose any new details about new music. (Wednesday 8 June 2022; 22:53)

I think her voice is shot (100,413) by T from USA I hear fans complaining about no new album this year. And how there seems to be two Mariah's. The one who's bubbly and fun and the other who showed up at that Twitter spaces. We should all remember that she is bi-polar and you never know what mood she could be in at any given time. Look, as for the album, the old Mariah in good voice back in the 1990's could release an album every year. She could sing the phone book if she wanted to. Now it takes her a lot longer to get it all together. My only concern is that she bragged how the two year pandemic made her voice stronger. So why didn't she record then? Like the old days. I'm worried that by the time she does her voice won't be as great again. Then again, maybe she just said her voice has healed but with no actual proof we are only left to speculate.

Mariah on Twitter spaces (100,412) by T from USA Last night she confirmed that there is no new surprise album about to be released. She said Lee Daniels is doing a show based on her memoir. I guess there won't be an album until next year but we can expect some good Christmas stuff this year. (Wednesday 8 June 2022; 13:26)

Speaking of lawsuits (100,411) by Matty from Vancouver Canada This lawsuit is ridiculous. How can there be a statute of limitations on sexual assault, but this person can swindle money over a song 30 years after the fact, based on a title? There's many songs called Can't Let Go, or when Ariana Grande sang "a little less conversation and a little more touch my body", does Ariana owe Elvis and Mariah money for using their lyrics in an obvious reference to their songs A Little Less Conversation and Touch My Body? Absurd. Speaking of lawsuits, where are things sitting with Morgan and Stella's lawsuits? Anyone have details or inside info on what's going on there? (Tuesday 7 June 2022; 21:12)

Article: How Mariah can face a copyright lawsuit 30 years later (100,410) by Betty from Canada I don't know why Billboard keeps posting about this ridiculous lawsuit, it's at least their 3rd post about it all with misleading headlines that don't mention anything about the lawsuit being about the song title only, you have to read the entire article to find out this important detail and we know most people will just read the headlines and not read the rest. Shame on you Billboard! (Tuesday 7 June 2022; 12:54)

Lawsuit (100,409) by Tameka walker from United states The thing about this lawsuit is that this song was made almost 30 years ago. If he wrote it why wait almost 30 years to sue? He sees that it is a classic and he wants credit. Mariah wrote it fair and square. He is after money. If I wrote a song and someone stole it I am not going to wait 30 years to sue. I am a diehard lamb. I wish Mariah the best. (Tuesday 7 June 2022; 03:08)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,407) (100,408) by Jamie from UK You are not alone on that one Bill. (Monday 6 June 2022; 22:55)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,406) (100,407) by Bill from the UK It also doesn't sound anything like Hero. (Monday 6 June 2022; 16:00)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,401) (100,406) by Bill from the UK You Are Not Alone by MJ was released on his 1995 History album/compilation, two years after Hero. (Monday 6 June 2022; 14:16)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,399) (100,405) by T from USA I apologize. I didn't hear the Andy one or know that Kelly covered it. As soon as I heard about the lawsuit I googled All I Want For Christmas Is You by Doug Stone and after hearing it I saw similarities and just thought it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities that Tommy had Mariah take that song from her label mate and make it a million times better. He's not the most honest record person in the world. That's all I'm saying. (Monday 6 June 2022; 13:57)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,401) (100,404) by Carlos from Brazil How could Mariah "lift" "You are not alone" when "Hero" is from 93 probably written in 92 and Michael's song is from 1995? (Monday 6 June 2022; 13:05)

Re: AIWFCIY (100,397) (100,403) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This is absolutly ridiculous, embarrasing really, everyone who reads this story, and I mean absolutly every human being on earth, will understand that this lawsuit is an example of a totally unknown artist trying to get his pension funds filled up and profit from the most recognisable Christmas song ever written. Good luck. (Monday 6 June 2022; 07:29)

Re: Nostradamus on twitter (100,385) (100,402) by JC from USA Nostradamus is generally spot on and usually uses words carefully. There's a lot of talk of Cardi, but based on recent Twitter engagements, my eyes are on Saweetie. I do think Cardio's name would be more beneficial propelling a song commercially. However, she's a bit more "pop" and I picture Mariah working with Saweetie more seamlessly while providing guidance and giving more of an edge musically. This all said, Cardi only has one full studio album under her belt and she's expected for a big summer release. Could they relate? (Monday 6 June 2022; 05:51)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,392) (100,401) by JC from USA Absurd. This is not the same as lifting a sample. The only thing these have in common are a title. I'm sure it will be settled out of court and this guy will undeservingly make some cash. Also, in terms of "little proof" - Irv Gotti confirmed the takedown. And the obscurity of the Firecracker sample is reason enough. And, for what it's worth, I do think MC has mistakenly lifted a melody ("You are not alone" by MJ for "Hero", specifically). But this is unequivocal, there is no bias, and I recommend avoiding music law. I'm .excited for the June release. (Monday 6 June 2022; 05:42)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,392) (100,400) by Shezz from Pk I came to know of this song when Kelly Clarkson covered it on Kellyoke a year or so ago. I thought it had thematic similarities ( l don't want any material things for Christmas, I only want you) but then most songs have that now don't they? I don't think Tommy "stole" the idea as it was already a commercially released song. Could Mariah have been inspired by it? Possible. The fact that they named it the exact same title, I hope, means that she wasn't aware of it and it was just a coincidence. The fact that they're only going on title similarities and doing it after so many years when it's become such a lucrative staple just means they're just after some money now. Hoping for the new single / project announcement supposedly to happen on the upcoming twitter spaces. (Monday 6 June 2022; 05:25)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,392) (100,399) by RibbonB from USA Did you even read the article? They are not the same song, they have the same title. There are hundreds of other songs with the exact title He has no valid claim. Titles cannot be copywrited. (Monday 6 June 2022; 03:51)

Doug Stone or Andy Stone? (100,398) by T from USA I read articles that it was a song from Andy Stone in 1989 but I can't find it anywhere. I do see a Doug Stone titled song called All I Want For Christmas Is You 1992 which does have a ton of the same themes as Mariah's song ends up having. Even the way he sings the last line of the chorus is similar to how Mariah ends up doing it. But Doug Stone isn't even the one suing her. Who is Andy Stone? (Monday 6 June 2022; 02:44)

Re: AIWFCIY (100,387) (100,397) by BFF from United States Unfortunately, there is a chance that she may have to pay something to this writer. There are enough similarities between the two songs. Sam Smith had to give Tom Petty a writing credit on "Stay with Me" for similarities between that song and "I Won't Back Down". Just for the record, I don't think Mariah should have to give the writer anything because thematically it's very hard to not see similarities between Christmas songs (and, really, popular songs in general). I'm just coming from the perspective of thinking how a judge will interpret the situation. (Sunday 5 June 2022; 23:00)

Re: AIWFCIY (100,387) (100,396) by Hector from Mexico This lawsuit is silly. Obviously they're two different songs with the same title. That has happened a lot before. That guy wants money. (Sunday 5 June 2022; 21:54)

Re: AIWFCIY (100,390) (100,395) by Jamie from UK They've already said it's nothing to do with similarity's until production etc it's mearly the title he's going for. Which really won't stand for anything as there's lots of songs with same titles but completely different sounds. Headlines are there to make the whole situation sound more serious than it actually is. Next minute Mariah will be suing Enrique for using the word Hero on a song. Yeah sounds stupid doesn't it, just like this guy clearly is. (Sunday 5 June 2022; 21:39)
