Re: #1's Record Store Day release (99,717) (99,719) by Edward from USA And when Robert-Anthony says he tweeted Mariah for that to happen, there's no way Mariah could have avoided listening to him. For Rob, a tweet means thousands upon thousands of tweets. When Rob wants his vinyls, Mariah'd better listen. (Friday 18 February 2022; 14:18)

Re: #1's Record Store Day release (99,717) (99,718) by Edward from USA Sometimes it's good when Mariah doesn't listen. I'd been asking for a remake of George Michael's "One More Try", and look that what happened, I wish it had never happened. "It's a Wrap" was also a missed opportunity at creating something memorable with Mary J. Blige, but it ended up being a left over "Wrap" on the MIAM album. I think some of these duets wouldn't work, especially with Beyonce, but a duet with Janet would definitely be good. I've always wished for them to sing "Again" together, it suits Mariah's current voice. (Friday 18 February 2022; 13:52)

Re: #1's Record Store Day release (99,716) (99,717) by SM from Citizen of the World That's exciting. Apparently she's not listening about the Beyoncé duet lol. That will never happen haha. (Thursday 17 February 2022; 20:56)

#1's Record Store Day release (99,716) by Bobby A from United States Hey everybody. It was announced yesterday that #1's will be a part of Record Store Day on April 28th. I tweeted MC last year asking for a RSD release. She is listening to us. Tweet her. (Thursday 17 February 2022; 09:16)

Re: Whenever You Call mysteries (99,710) (99,715) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Clarence is a white girl, not a cat. Mariah used to stay together with her in a small apartment, together with Josefin, in late 80's and early 90's. It was in a period of before a record deal and after she got signed. That's Clarissa. Confused. Hehe. Clarence is a cat. (Thursday 17 February 2022; 04:11)

Re: Whenever You Call mysteries (99,710) (99,714) by Bobby A from United States You are kidding me, right? (Thursday 17 February 2022; 01:10)

Re: New WBT (99,711) (99,713) by RibbonB from USA I just saw something this weekend, bit actually not sure when its from. It's with two musicians and she has on black. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 22:05)

Mr. Tanaka (99,712) by Bobby A from United States He must be the happiest man on this earth. MC and Tanaka are inseparable. I am happy for them both. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 20:14)

Re: New WBT (99,701) (99,711) by Will from England Are you talking about the new version she did last year? (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 19:13)

Re: Whenever You Call mysteries (99,697) (99,710) by Brian_S from UK/Netherlands Clarence is Mariah's cat that she had since childhood. I remember she told this on TV or radio interview in the Netherlands. While recording WYC Clarence her cat was in the studio too. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 18:02)

Re: Hello (99,708) (99,709) by Edward from USA Hi Brian, welcome to the board. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 17:45)

Hello (99,708) by Brian_S from UK/Netherlands Hi all, I'm Brian, been a fan of Mariah since 1990. I've been checking this website for awhile, also had an account here long time ago but forgot all my login details. Hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 15:53)

Re: Mariah featured in NYTimes article about cheating (99,706) (99,707) by T from USA Back in the mid '90s record labels were notorious for inflating sales numbers, even switching barcodes of other acts to the new release to raise it higher on sound scan. Columbia and Tommy were huge participants in this. Mariah debut twice at #1 for singles in the mid '90s so there is question of the legitimacy of these stats. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 15:38)

Re: Mariah featured in NYTimes article about cheating (99,704) (99,706) by TJ from Norway What did the article say about Mariah and her sales? (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 10:37)

Re: Whenever You Call mysteries (99,697) (99,705) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, I can't believe you haven't noticed Brian McKnight couldn't be in the studio with Mariah because Mariah didn't re-record her part of the song. They used the same vocals from her version on the Butterfly album. It was basically a cut and paste type of thing. It's so evident that I thought everybody knew. (Wednesday 16 February 2022; 01:52)

Mariah featured in NYTimes article about cheating (99,704) by T from USA The record industry is a dirty thing. This article from 1996 is quite interesting and talks about Sony and Mariah a lot throughout. So how do we really know how much an artist has really sold? (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 21:51)

Re: MC16 and up tempo bangers (99,698) (99,703) by T from USA I like the enthusiasm but we all have to remember that she made something special with Caution. Really fresh and cool. But it didn't see the light of day. Unless Mariah is going to have a Super Bowl type promo spot like Mary had, there is no point in trying to reinvent herself to be a mainstream act anymore. Think about it, Mary is everywhere on everyone's tongue but that is thanks to the Halftime show. I actually think Mariah's approach of concentrating on re-doing her old songs and focusing only on Christmas is her best bet. She can't fail there. Sure she will never be front and center in the mainstream but she will always find some success that way. Once we hear the remake of The Roof and Babydoll we won't even want for anything with the hottest new producers. We will be mesmerized by the old songs, redone. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 21:25)

Re: One offs compilation album? (99,694) (99,702) by Bill from the UK As always Nikki, provide your sources as this is all speculation/fabricated. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 20:55)

New WBT (99,701) by RibbonB from USA I guess MC did a little thing with WBT recently. It sounds nice, but her voice seems strange. I wonder how a whole new, slowed down arrangement would sound. The rapid fire phrasing has always made the song difficult. Just Mimi and a cello might sound nice. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 20:33)

Re: MC16 and up tempo bangers (99,698) (99,700) by Bobby A from United States Yes. I feel Bongo By The Way is one to put MC back on top. Everybody send a tweet with both of their names. I sent two already. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 19:50)

Clown (99,699) by Randy from USA Well, I need to apologize to MC for ever holding out hope for her and Nick. How do you trivialize having kids with a bunch of women? I read that lyric and I felt like such an idiot for thinking he's a standup guy with issues. And listen two disclaimers. One, I've made mistakes in my private life. Two, I'm sure being in a relationship with MC is no picnic. But I'm not a public figure making awful raps. Yup, as with Kanye, Dababy and Trump, he keeps striving for lower. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 11:31)

Re: MC16 and up tempo bangers (99,691) (99,698) by 123 from USA She needs a new album full of uptempo songs. I heard Mays' album and you are right, Bongo by the way's tracks are stand outs. I love Here With Me Fest Anderson Paak. Can you image MC writing something hot over that beat. He also produced Love Will Never. Another favorite. London on the track is another wish list producer of mine. He tweeted Mariah when she released GTFO to produce her next single (she needs to take him up on the offer). He produced Failing In Love on Marys' new album which screams single with that soul sample. Is very Mary-esque. She needs to work with both of these producers asap. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 07:24)

Whenever You Call mysteries (99,697) by Bobby A from United States I did some research on Clarence singing background vocals on WYC. My research revealed that he is a reggae singer. How did a reggae singer end up singing background vocals on a Mariah Carey song? I can't hear his background vocals on WYC. Also, why wasn't Brian McKnight allowed to record his vocals in the studio with Mariah? He was very upset by not being able to be in the studio with MC and he labeled her a "little crazy" back in 1997. I wonder what went down when he was told that MC would not be in the studio when he recorded his vocals. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 05:51)

I want MC Fairytales (99,696) by Nikki from usa I don't know what she'll do for an album, but I know what I want. I want Mariah to do an album where every song is based off a fairytale with her songwriter hat on full swing. I need at least one music video to be at night and feature Mariah in moonlight. Also, I want a real Mariah mermaid video. Whether she has to rock it mermaid Weeki Wachee style or CGI, I don't care. I know there's inflation and no money in music anymore, so I don't care if she has product placements in the videos to afford a good one. She could sponsor travel destinations. That's very Mariah. It doesn't matter, whatever works. Colors, Mariah. Bring on the colors. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 01:39)

Re: New album is an old album (99,677) (99,695) by Nikki from usa I'm not sure how you think all that works, but Drake worked with J.Lo and her albums haven't sold since the early 2000's. Beyonce worked with Tina Turner during the height of her fame. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 01:30)
