About Bobby A from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Yes, and more please (105,498) by Bobby A from United States I would love so throwback house mixes for the new album singles. I feel this year is going to be Mimi's year to shine. (Friday 16 February 2024; 22:26) this is a reply to message 105,487

Yes, and more please (105,487) by T from USA I love it. MC brings us back to the house mixes for the nostalgia. It's nice to hear her on a proper uptempo song. Her and Max Martin are a match made in heaven. So fresh but yet so classic sounding. Here voice is sounds great, and the overall vibe of the song is amazing. Hopefully we all do our part and stream this song, buy it and dare I say request it on radio. Get the word out that MC is back baby. (Friday 16 February 2024; 15:15)

Time of release UK (105,486) by Bobby A from United States Right. Towards the end of the remix I got a huge feeling that I was hearing her singing one of her Morales remixes. Why did Max Martin lower her adlibs so low during the bridge? I can hardly make out what she is saying along with Ariana's soft vocals. (Friday 16 February 2024; 15:10) this is a reply to message 105,481

Time of release UK (105,481) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits? (Friday 16 February 2024; 13:56)

Time of release UK (105,483) by Bobby A from United States Right. I thought it was shade towards Tanaka too using hypocrisy in her verse. However, it wouldn't be a Mariah song if she didn't teach her audience some vocabulary words. (Friday 16 February 2024; 14:54) this is a reply to message 105,482

Time of release UK (105,482) by Carlos from Brazil Are the lyrics about Tanaka? Maybe? Lol. (Friday 16 February 2024; 14:38)

Yes, And? (105,473) by Bobby A from United States I really don't hear autotune being used. It is just her true alto voice shining through. If you noticed on the "baby you" lyric her alto tone shines through. During the Charmbracelet era she would have given us a breathy tone on that lyric. Her voice has just changed so much that she has lost an octave or two making her alto range shine through more. (Friday 16 February 2024; 11:56) this is a reply to message 105,466

Yes, And? (105,466) by Lee from UK I don't hate the remix but there are three things that surprise me. The first is that this song sounds very much like a Madonna song and I never in a million years thought Mariah would go there. Secondly, why did Mariah not try and blend in with Ariana's vocals (in the same way Brandy did on The Roof), it would have been more pleasing to the ear. Mariah's shouty adlibs could have been better executed and more melodic. Finally, Mariah needs to lay off the auto tune, it's not even subtle. This remix feels rushed and I would be even more surprised if it reached #1. (Friday 16 February 2024; 08:43)

Yes And? remix (105,463) by Bobby A from United States I have to say the remix is everthing and well worth the wait. Their vocals and whistle notes are crazy. MC sounds so good. Her adlibs are MC for sure. Their harmonizing is subperb. It will be #1 next week. MC's 20th #1 is next week. Who is the male voice during the intro? He sounds familiar. Bye. (Friday 16 February 2024; 06:27)

Conflicted (105,453) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I think so too. I am enjoying our new partnership, Mimi. Before your post this week, I saw that Ariana WBT video two weeks go. I thought it was odd that she was singing new lyrics to WBT. I guess Europe and the UK will hear it at 7pm Eastern time. Right? (Thursday 15 February 2024; 23:11) this is a reply to message 105,451

Conflicted (105,451) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok we must be brain twins because that's literally what I posted a few posts down. I have a feeling it's WBT included somehow because of that leaked snippet of Ariana singing the lyrics to WBT over a different beat, then the rumors about Mariah reworking one of her famous #1's and then finally Mariah posting on TikTok singing WBT just a few hours after Ariana announced the remix. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 22:22)

Conflicted (105,447) by Bobby A from United States Why do I feel WBT is a part of the remix? (Thursday 15 February 2024; 20:26) this is a reply to message 105,445

Conflicted (105,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yus. Also all things aside this will be one of her more significant collaborations. Most of her collaborations in recent times are with artists who are new or up and coming. This is with someone who is well established. I hope both their teams push it and give it a fair chance. The fact that a video is likely already made is promising enough. Ariana has great video concepts (aka Thank You, Next) and great visuals too so I'm excited to see what they came up with. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 16:48)

Conflicted (105,444) by Bobby A from United States True. I think this collaboration is the one that will receive substantial radio airplay. I am excited to hear it on the morning radio shows tomorrow. The remix is like 3 minutes and 25 seconds. That is perfect for radio airplay. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 16:24) this is a reply to message 105,441

Conflicted (105,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True, musically it's more Gaga and Madonna, but I think we'll be surprised. Mariah doesn't commit to projects she's not feeling. She must have seen potential in order to do it. And like you said we forget Mariah has been doing dance remixes with Morales and others since the 90s. While I understand some Ariantors may have wanted others, I think a lot of them will support because Ariana is so inspired by Mariah and this is her dream come true.

An AI Mariah cover of JT (105,434) by Bobby A from United States This AI version gives me With You vibes. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 12:58) this is a reply to message 105,432

An AI Mariah cover of JT (105,432) by darrian liu from taiwan I know it's controversial to post or talk about AI-generated content, but this just reminds me of Caution album so much and honestly? Mariah's version fully outdid the JT original version. She sounds so pretty here, even though it's just AI. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 12:15)

Not happy (105,431) by Bobby A from United States I have a feeling it is resung with new lyrics and a sampled track. Why would Mimi agree to do it if it is not what she is known for when it comes to remixes? We will find out tonight at midnight. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 12:11) this is a reply to message 105,430

Not happy (105,430) by Jamie from UK Lol pull the remix now it's a travesty. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 10:18)

CD single preorder (105,423) by Bobby A from United States The preorder link is up on MC's X page now. 4 copies per customer limit for a $1.99 each. (Thursday 15 February 2024; 00:00)

New label possibility? (105,422) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC has signed to Republic Records? I am hoping the collaboration is a prelude to a new label announcement. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 23:15)

This week (105,421) by Bobby A from United States This is great news. These insider accounts on X must be AR reps. I am so excited to finally get a true collaboration. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 22:57) this is a reply to message 105,415

This week (105,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw the post 7 minutes after it was posted and just a few hours after my early morning whining on the messageboard and I squealed so hard haha. I hope we get a video. Since this is an Ariana project I'm sure they'll push it a lot. Also rumors are that the first time yes, and will be performed is this Saturday and apparently it's gonna be the remix version. I'm giddy because I'm excited it's actually true and also I have an inkling it'll be a re-recorded remix. We saw the snippet of Ariana playing with the WBT lyrics and just an hour ago Mariah posted a video of her singing WBT on TikTok. This combined with the rumors that she is reworking one of her #1's. Fingers crossed. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 20:42)

Ariana Instagram (105,420) by Bobby A from United States Wow. I missed that too. Very clever. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 22:55) this is a reply to message 105,418

Ariana Instagram (105,418) by Jamie from UK Do I just look at an insta post from Ariana on 7th Februar? It's so obvious seeing MC in that post. How did we not see it. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 21:12)

This week (105,412) by Bobby A from United States I sure do miss MC posting those pics in the studio during previous eras. At least we knew she was working on something. Well, three weeks until Ariana's new album and I don't think too many of her fans are excited for its release. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 19:26) this is a reply to message 105,405

This week (105,405) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So um we were supposed to be getting an announcement today from Mariah either about the remix or something else. I wonder if it's true or if we're clowning hahah. The remix is supposed to be out tomorrow and I saw that an Ariana fan account posted it might be The Weeknd on the remix. At this point there has been so many people's name attached to this remix haha. Also the Nostradamus insider account mentioned that Shakira and Mariah may be collaborating, I call BS on that because the actual news was that Shakira reached out to Mariah to sample IKWYW for a new song. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 15:36)

Is that Mariah? (105,403) by Bobby A from United States Great post Edward. She doesn't interact with us on Twitter Spaces like she did 3 years ago. We need to know how the recording process is going. It will be March in two weeks. I just wish one top producer like David Garcia or Busbee or London On Da Track would run into her at a L.A. restaurant and say to her that we need to work together to put you back on top. I am hoping Beyonce doesn't dominate the charts this summer, but I am afraid she will. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 07:53) this is a reply to message 105,401

Is that Mariah? (105,401) by Edward from USA Mariah needs to break free from her comfort zone and embark on a journey of boldness and innovation. It's time for her own "Ray of Light" moment. The issue lies in the predictability of Mariah Carey's offerings. To truly make an impact, she must astonish the music scene with unexpected sounds and styles. Without this transformation, her next single/project may simply fade into obscurity. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 00:24)

Ethical? Maybe not. Great? Yes (105,399) by Bobby A from United States Thanks Todd. I pretend this is really MC while on the treadmill. This is a song that she should have written instead. I hope MC steps out her comfort zone with MC16. I can relate to Selfish. MC needs some catchy songs that anyone can relate to. (Tuesday 13 February 2024; 23:51) this is a reply to message 105,394

Ethical? Maybe not. Great? Yes (105,394) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia If any of you are on the TikTok, you might have seen the Mariah Carey AI version of JT's "Selfish" doing the rounds. Normally they sound rubbish, but this one is exceptional. It actually feels like a MC song. Anyway - if you want the MP3, here it is. (Tuesday 13 February 2024; 03:17)

MC always late to the party isn't just a metaphor (105,392) by Bobby A from United States Great post T. We are all so hungry for new music that we can't understand what is taking her so long to give us something. I believe MC can't stand to hear the media talk about her having another failed single or album. It is almost like she has conditioned herself that every song or album release has to be a top 10 or #1 release. I wish she would take more chances with her music and feel the freedom of a jazz or gospel or dance album. We would certainly support her in these new music endeavors because we have witness how her impromtu jazz moments or other gospel and dance songs have freed us and put smiles on our faces. (Tuesday 13 February 2024; 00:17) this is a reply to message 105,391

MC always late to the party isn't just a metaphor (105,391) by T from USA I'm hearing Beyonce is going to dive into jazz and gospel after country music. She already did house music. Mariah mentioned on one of her Twitter Spaces that she doesn't want to go into her back catalogue of dance music out of fear that people will say she's jumping on the bandwagon. Which is crazy because she's done it first. Once Beyonce hits with Jazz, Mariah will feel pressured to not do it. I've even heard that act III might be Rock n Roll, which would be cool but then we can also kiss Someone's Ugly Daughter goodbye. It's almost like Mariah takes too long and then others steal her ideas. But it's not really theft it's more that the others are working faster and harder. I hope Mariah doesn't feel limited to R&B because she's afraid to go outside the box. Wasn't being put into a box the problem she had with her career in the first place? Now MC call that other MC and get SUD out already. (Monday 12 February 2024; 23:25)

Rainbow25 and other new songs (105,387) by Bobby A from United States BreatheHeavy Exhale forum is one that posted about the Ariana and MC remix. (Monday 12 February 2024; 22:37) this is a reply to message 105,342

Rainbow25 and other new songs (105,342) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What are some of the others? I love checking them out hahah although they call each other liars and fake. (Saturday 10 February 2024; 15:49)

Beyonce (105,385) by Bobby A from United States I am sure MC knew of Beyonce's March release date. Beyonce has been very quiet lately. A late 3rd quarter release date for MC16 will probably be better now. Dua Lipa is dropping her album too sometime probably before June. (Monday 12 February 2024; 20:53) this is a reply to message 105,378

Beyonce (105,378) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The insider account tweeted on January 14th that Beyoncé will release Act II in Q1 of 2024, well she just announced it's being released in March 29th so the account was correct. I will pass out if all the things tweeted about Mariah on that account comes true. (Monday 12 February 2024; 04:23)

Rock and Roll HOF (105,384) by Bobby A from United States Just speaking it into existence. The Clark Sisters have a song called Name It Claim It. (Monday 12 February 2024; 20:47) this is a reply to message 105,381

Rock and Roll HOF (105,381) by Lee from USA How it is so? (Monday 12 February 2024; 12:42)

AI songs (105,374) by Bobby A from United States Will, I heard Selfish playing in a store today and the vocal stacking reminded me of MC. It was written and produced by the most sought young producer right now - Cirkut. He wrote and produced Katy Perry's Dark Horse, Miley's Wrecking Ball, and most recently Unholy by Sam Smith and Kim Petras. Maybe MC will work with him. (Monday 12 February 2024; 00:31) this is a reply to message 105,372

AI songs (105,372) by Will from England This was posted a few days ago, it's Mariah's AI voice singing JT's new song Selfish. I wish she had written and released this instead. It sounds like something that could have been on Caution. (Sunday 11 February 2024; 23:26)

Ariana what are you doing here? (105,373) by Bobby A from United States I believe something big is coming this week from Ariana and MC. If the remix goes #1, will it count as MC's 20th number one? (Monday 12 February 2024; 00:15) this is a reply to message 105,371

Ariana what are you doing here? (105,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter (If anyone doesn't know where the topic name comes from hahah it's from Nicki being on Insta live and Ariana starts viewing the live so Nicki says that line.) Ok so I suddenly remembered the post I shared on here with Ariana's demo vocals on a new song where she sings a few lines from WBT. And then I remembered the "rumor" from the insider account about Mariah reworking one of her #1s. Is Mariah and Ariana doing more than one collaboration? What do you guys think? (Sunday 11 February 2024; 20:26)

Rock and Roll HOF (105,361) by Bobby A from United States She already will be one of the honorees. This is going to be her year to shine. (Sunday 11 February 2024; 13:46) this is a reply to message 105,359

Rock and Roll HOF (105,359) by Lady B from USA Another extremely positive moment. She's on a roll and getting her well deserved flowers. Bravo. (Sunday 11 February 2024; 11:29)

MC x AG (105,360) by Bobby A from United States Genius is reporting it could be Lady Gaga or Olivia Rodrigo too. MC would draw more attention to her new album. MC was in L.A. last week. We know that Ariana records in L.A. (Sunday 11 February 2024; 13:44) this is a reply to message 105,355

MC x AG (105,355) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There's rumors going on that Ariana is releasing a remix of "yes, and?" with Mariah next week. I will believe it when I see it but Ariana did tease that even though she won't release anymore singles until the album is out she has a surprise planned. Honestly I don't know what Mariah can really benefit from being on "yes, and?". The song already hit #1 and Mariah being on the remix probably won't add much to her credit. I guess we'll know next week if this is indeed true. I'm here for any new Mariah content haha but honestly I'm ready for her own releases and wish of MC did collab with Ariana it's on a song that has her on the original version. (Sunday 11 February 2024; 03:08)
