The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,096)
by Bill from the UK
| |
|
|
Jamie thank you for putting so eloquently my exact thoughts. I think only the OG fans can relate to what you say, because we were there living those great moments live at the time. I don't think people get just how special she was and how she drew so many people to her by being an incredible talent, humble, and her good fortune of being naturally photogenic. Talk about hitting a jackpot. But then to see it descend year by year is so heartbreaking. Not just the voice, but the grace, the elegance, the class, the poise... sigh.
Right now you're gone, you just vanished away. But I'll never leave you behind. No, I'll never forget you.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,075)
by Jamie from UK

|

Whilst I love that Mariah is still putting out music I can't help but wonder what went wrong for Mariah. I've just heard Without You on an Instagram post which to me is the pinnacle of Mariah in 1993, you couldn't get much better than that. To now her latest single Sugar Sweet (which I don't mind) but let's be honest she can barely sing this tune and it isn't very taxing on the voice as a were her earlier hits. When I hear old school Mariah I can't help but feel sad at where we are now. A complete transformation of personality and a huge degrading of vocals. What happened? Was it self inflicted or is it just natural wear and tear of a once untouchable voice. I would love to rewind to 1993 when her career took off internationally and just remind her to stay grounded and focus on what's important. I've said this multiple times but I just don't get how we went from Mariah to MC it's such a contrast of personalities. Her early cross over stuff was cool but as I've said countless times she took it too far and I think the partying etc took a toll on her vocals and ate away at her wholesomeness. She might say and pretend that she's always been hood but I remember those early days and there was no pretence, just a natural girl living her best life. Yes we all change but we're still recognisable, I think Mariah took it too far and now she doesn't even recognise herself. Her appearance last night on Jimmy Kimmel is a far cry from who she once was, I would love to sit 1993 Mariah down and show her 2025 Mariah. I don't even think she would relate to that.
I'm speaking from the heart and probably don't understand the ins and outs of the celebrity lifestyle and how it affects you both physically and mentally. But part of me wants to understand what went wrong and what happened to Mariah and why she's so affected now and her voice has taken such a turn. It's great she's still giving us music but vocally and especially personality she's a far cry from what she was. I don't even think Mariah knows herself anymore she's that affected. I reminisce of her dancing on the beach with "to be around you" playing out to her now barely able to focus or speak and can't but help to want to say to her it's ok to be Mariah again.

Jamie, I've wondered the same thing. Mariah used to be so grounded, with this effortless innocence. She was sexy without even trying, and that voice was just next level. That combo is what made her so special. It's sad, but at least we have her amazing back catalog to fall back on. I'm really hoping "Here For It All" has at least one huge power ballad. I kind of feel like this might be her last album. With how the voice has been and how long she takes between projects, I'm not sure what she'll sound like in another five years. Hopefully she goes out with a bang, a critically acclaimed album and maybe a couple of Grammys to top it off.

Sugar Sweet promotion (110,094)
by MhieMhie from Vietnam
| |
|
|
Guys. Do check out Shenseea and Kehlani's socials. Damn, promotion is in the right direction with each has their own reel or video of their song parts. Genius. At first I thought it was the MV and was gonna feel disappointed to watch 3 girls just miming buuuuut its a part of the promo. Damn - Gamma and Mariah is gearing up for Sugar Sweet. They are not super hyping it like TD as potentially they used it to test the waters. More or less this might be a slow burn slow churn. As one saying goes "good things take time". I just want virality and reintroduction to Mariah being immortal lol. Charts, number one? Good. Top 100? Good. Not chart? Good. As I have another workout song to add in my repertoir. All is fine as long as she releases music and further cements her imprint in the world.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,093)
by Edward from USA

The biggest shift in her personality happened around 2012. When she was a judge on American Idol, her full blown diva persona really took center stage. I actually felt a little embarrassed by the way she acted toward Ariana. Ariana had always spoken about how much of an influence she was on her career, but eventually, she stopped mentioning it for a while. I remember thinking, "Mariah, embrace that little girl, you’re old enough to be her mother."
Thankfully, she seemed to come to her senses later on. I’m not saying she’s a bad person, I truly believe she’s good at heart, but at some point, she started believing her own hype and surrounded herself with some questionable people. From that moment on, she was never quite the same.

Jamie, Edward I absolutely feel the same about Mariah. It's good to know some longtime fans also miss the authentic, lovely Mariah. I miss the natural Mariah. "She was sexy without even trying, and that voice was just next level. That combo is what made her so special." So true, that was something beside her voice that made her so unique, so loveable and even relateable. For me this will always be the real Mariah. Of course we all change a bit with age, but most people stay indeed the same just wiser and older with luck. I do wonder what made her change so much too? Sometimes it feels like she hides the humble Mariah inside. I understand it can be a shield or something but it must be more than that. The "Joy to the world video" is one of my favourites. Not because it's so good, no story I know, but just seeing an already global superstar, having so much fun, looking so carefree, a diva but with a big heart and humour, Mariah was never more beautiful, more adorable than when she's "not trying".

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,092)
by BFF from United States

|

For me, my favorite Mariah was from the 1997-2000 period. She had her freedom from the marriage but also seemed very happy and carefree. The bad experience with “Glitter” changed things for the worse in my opinion. In my opinion, that was really the point at which she became more remote, seemed less relatable, and less focused on her voice and the music. That marriage to Tommy really screwed her over in a lot of ways and its aftermath derailed her professional and personal life in the early 2000s.

Wow. I wasn't here when it got that bad. That sucks. I remember him being rude sometimes, but not abusive.
Honestly though, I grew up around some abusive people, and then my first husband was an abuser, so sometimes it feels normal to me and I don't notice it.
I hope Andrew, and I, and whoever else needs it, heals.

I for one am glad he's gone and hope he stays gone. I think everyone on this board forgot why he was banned. I can appreciate people having different takes and different opinions about MC but Andrew's opinions weren't just about Mariah. His very last stunt was being extremely violent towards me and a few others on this board. He resorted to name calling, personally attacking and just making outrageous posts that had no business here. All because he didn't agree with my views. I get some people who know him say that he was going though personal stuff but no amount of stuff going on in your personal life justifies viciously attacking someone on a freaking messageboard. Not only was he a bully, he also never considered that the person he's throwing insults at may have personal things going on themselves but didn't resort to his level of insult hurling. His language had gotten so bad when responding to me the webmaster had to stop posting them. Not only included abusive language he would also constantly demean people for their English, myself included when English isn't our first language. He was petty, a bully and downright abusive and this wasn't the first time he did that to me at least and wouldn't have been the last if he wasn't stopped.

I hope MC wins 100% with Here For It All. I want Sugar Sweet to be at least in the top 10 on the Hot 100 when her album drops. That would be so sweet for MC. I hope The Clark Sisters collaboration becomes a huge gospel radio hit and people start talking about it on social media. I hope one of the ballads on the album becomes a LTT moment for MC. September 26, 2025 is going be a huge day for MC filled with good reviews and TV appearances and a hopefully a GMA or Today Show performance.

"TikTok is gonna eat this up." Maybe this is a reason I don't "feel" this song yet. I think younger ones will indeed like it. But "Type Dangerous" has grown on me plus the remixes. "Motorcycle man has a yen for me" somehow stays in the ear. And I love the Straisand [sic] song. Lol. It reminds me of a Disney movie. The new album stays excited.

Since I heard the snippet and the full song didn't disappoint. I do hope she's got an MC only version with a second verse because how is she gonna perform it when she's on stage without Kehlani and Sheseea? They have a lot of real estate in the song.
It's a certifiable bop, much more than Type. She's using her comfort zone for the more "poppy" songs now GTFO vocal texture just like on Type. I predict a top 20 BB and depending on how the album performs, even higher. I like that it's an all female collab. Her lyrics, I am marinating on right now. One line gave ne pause but I'm used to Mariah's trolling so it could mean nothing. TikTok is gonna eat this up

I like the "Sugar Sweet", but I don't think the other two girls were really necessary. The chorus is super catchy, I've caught myself humming it without even thinking. I was hoping for at least a few of those signature Mariah high notes sprinkled in, just to give it more of her touch. As for the charts, I really hope it picks up on streaming. "Sugar Sweet" definitely feels like a step in the right direction.

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but based on my personal interactions with Andrew, I honestly think he's a good guy. Like anyone else, he was probably just going through something at the time. He's left the board a few times before, but I get the feeling this time it might be for good. With that being said, I don't think Eric would stop him from coming back, as long as he sticks to the rules.

I'm speaking from the heart and probably don't understand the ins and outs of the celebrity lifestyle and how it affects you both physically and mentally. But part of me wants to understand what went wrong and what happened to Mariah and why she's so affected now and her voice has taken such a turn. It's great she's still giving us music but vocally and especially personality she's a far cry from what she was. I don't even think Mariah knows herself anymore she's that affected. I reminisce of her dancing on the beach with "to be around you" playing out to her now barely able to focus or speak and can't but help to want to say to her it's ok to be Mariah again.

Bobby A, that was a different person from the UK. It's been nearly two years since Andy last posted here. I think he was dealing with some personal stuff. I hope he's ok wherever he is.

In love with Sugar Sweet (110,077)

Since I heard the snippet and the full song didn't disappoint. I do hope she's got an MC only version with a second verse because how is she gonna perform it when she's on stage without Kehlani and Sheseea? They have a lot of real estate in the song.
It's a certifiable bop, much more than Type. She's using her comfort zone for the more "poppy" songs now GTFO vocal texture just like on Type. I predict a top 20 BB and depending on how the album performs, even higher. I like that it's an all female collab. Her lyrics, I am marinating on right now. One line gave ne pause but I'm used to Mariah's trolling so it could mean nothing. TikTok is gonna eat this up

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,076)

MC is in love. I have to admit that the lyrics from Sugar Sweet suggest that they are about someone very special in her life. I guess when we when hear their duet, we will know extent of their relationship. I don't think MC has ever used "baby" so many times in her lyrics. It seems like she wants the ring to get married again.

I agree I think the hairstylist and make up artist did good. Just the styling was a bit of a mismatch. There shouldn't have been any straps on the clavicles. Because it became straps + her ginormous necklace + crazy amount of hair + overly done boobs. It was way too much. Should've removed straps, add some sort of lace material to hover her boobs, put the hair completely on the back (or maybe just one side) then a more subtle necklace piece to completely accentuate and feature her neck and clavicle area. This would've been be a more polished, clean look.
I noticed Mariah sports these extra "slutty" looks when she's in peak romance. She quite literally wore lingerie on Ellen in 2009, just a year after getting married to Nick.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,075)
by Jamie from UK
| |
|
|
Whilst I love that Mariah is still putting out music I can't help but wonder what went wrong for Mariah. I've just heard Without You on an Instagram post which to me is the pinnacle of Mariah in 1993, you couldn't get much better than that. To now her latest single Sugar Sweet (which I don't mind) but let's be honest she can barely sing this tune and it isn't very taxing on the voice as a were her earlier hits. When I hear old school Mariah I can't help but feel sad at where we are now. A complete transformation of personality and a huge degrading of vocals. What happened? Was it self inflicted or is it just natural wear and tear of a once untouchable voice. I would love to rewind to 1993 when her career took off internationally and just remind her to stay grounded and focus on what's important. I've said this multiple times but I just don't get how we went from Mariah to MC it's such a contrast of personalities. Her early cross over stuff was cool but as I've said countless times she took it too far and I think the partying etc took a toll on her vocals and ate away at her wholesomeness. She might say and pretend that she's always been hood but I remember those early days and there was no pretence, just a natural girl living her best life. Yes we all change but we're still recognisable, I think Mariah took it too far and now she doesn't even recognise herself. Her appearance last night on Jimmy Kimmel is a far cry from who she once was, I would love to sit 1993 Mariah down and show her 2025 Mariah. I don't even think she would relate to that.

No, I saw him post something in the spring. He did say something nice. Andrew and I had a love and hate history that some of the newbies don't know anything about. I can laugh about it now, but that time was constant reprimanding that I wanted to leave the board. He just didn't like my ecentric personality. Lol.

I went back to YouTube, I lean towards "Stay long love you" when she sings "would you mind".

Lara, I think the "I hope that you don't mind" part, to me, sounds similar in tone and cadence to Inseparable from Memoirs, "Got photos of us, on my refrigerator" part. Is that what you are hearing as well?

Mariah's charting power (110,060)
by Bobby A from United States

|

Based upon the #5 charting postion of Sugar Sweet on iTunes today and Type Dangerous still rising on the radio airplay charts, I feel Here For It All is going to do very well during the first sales week. And we still haven't received the full tracklisting with features and full writing credits. I feel some writers were deliberately left off the Apple songwriters credits list that we saw to keep their feature status a secret.
