Haha which one? The "40 Hidden Mariah songs" challenge video or my songs' video?

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,849) by Syed from UK
Hey everyone. I never knew about this site until today. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see actual conversations about our queen as opposed to an endless barrage of GIF's and emoji's under every Mariah post on Facebook, Insta, etc. And well articulated conversations - at that. I might not completely agree with every comment I've read, I think 1 or 2 border on overly critical, but it's good to see a diverse mixture of opinions from Lambs, without overt censorship.

I agree with some of the viewpoints here that Mariah increasingly does not seem like her usual self these days. It may be her condition, a side effect of medication, or past (and recent) trauma resurfacing, a combination of all the above, or... something unrelated. As Lambs, the best thing we can do is to support Mariah in any we we can. Because that's what she did for us through countless songs such as: Hero, Can't take that away, Make it happen, and so many others. We also need to overlook any behaviors we might not agree with because A) It's hard to trust anything you see online anymore (thanks AI) and media never shows us the true picture, only a distorted version that "sells" better. And B) We are not in her shoes, as much as we may think we know her, we only know her through the lens of the media, mostly. What she may be going through or battling internally and how they might manifest outwardly are things we need to be mindful of. Just be kind. As she has always been to us.

What do I feel could help? Well... if I had a magic wand I'd whisk Mariah away to a place where she could spend some time being in touch with nature, walk down a street without being recognized, and feel genuine excitement reconnecting with the simple things in life. It may not solve everything but I could literally guarantee that she'd feel a positive difference. Call it intuition (I share a lot of uncanny coincidences with Mariah) or just my observation of Mariah over the years and knowing the person she is beneath the exterior.

About me:
- Lamb since 1993 - when I first heard Dreamlover in a clothes store.
- I can confidently say I wouldn't be where I am today, without her music to help me through so many rough times.
- Creator of the "40 Hidden Mariah songs challenge" which is a tribute to Mimi plus fun Easter Egg hunt for the Lambily, you can catch it here if you'd like to try solving it.
- Recorded and released my own song in 2 languages based on a wish to "pay forward" what Mariah's music did for me, with a song that gives others hope. Took me just 20 years to make it happen.

Have a great weekend everyone and again really nice to meet you all.

It's wonderful to see the small victories of this album on the Billboard charts. While it may not be mainstream, these successes are significant, especially considering she has been in the music scene and on this particular chart for nearly four decades. Still, it would be even more exciting to see her back at the top of the main charts. I suppose we can always hope and dream.

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,846) by TheButterflyReturns from United States
I've heard of "Hollywood Babylon" but preferred to stick with Diane Dimond's book because the book stressed that these abuses impact more than just celebrities. She talks about how the guardianship/conservatorship system has been used to victimize people from all walks of life. We should care about the issue regardless of the social/financial status of the people involved.

I knew about Wendy's case and suspected that it may have been attempted with Mariah. But I had never heard it confirmed before. My guess was either Morgan or Stella because both seemed motivated by money and their involvement would align with the official accounts of Mariah's health struggles in 2001 and 2016.

"There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel." Everytime I see that, it makes me sad too. I miss the happy Mariah. I know there were many setbacks the last two years, but I hope in the future she will be happy again. Feeling good and carefree and at last maybe finding a true soul. She deserves all the happiness in the world. Not just money and fame. I hope she enjoys her new home, a place in Connecticut sounds wonderful to me.

Mariah cover songs (113,844) by Lambi from USA
I remember liking #Beautiful as a song, but I could not get past how dried up her breathy head voice was; therefore I never played the song as much. It's a feeling I hadn't felt about her voice before at the time. There were subtleties of it with MC2U too, but I was still able to get on with When Christmas Comes.

She eventually redeemed herself, though. I really liked her whispers in Stay Long Love You, Giving Me Life, With You, and The Distance, probably because of the way they were mixed sonically: just a bit of soft pitch correction, airy reverb, minimal compression, and high-end EQ to fine-tune the breathy tone. She also harmonized them with elements of her lower register. It's hauntingly darker, smoky, and somewhat fresh.

I think it's the piano-belting vocal-type songs that aren't really hitting the spot. Frankenstein approach is pretty accurate. Also if we didn't know, we'd probably assume Cry, Camouflage, Portrait, and HFIA belonged on the same album just because of how similar the high belts sound.

Hi lamb. I recommend reading the book Hollywood Babylon. It highlights:

• Exploitation by managers/studios/family.
• Repeated public breakdown/mental illness narratives.
• The entertainment industry profiting from vulnerable stars.

The recurring theme is that stars are treated more like assets than people; controlled financially, medically, and publicly. They sort of follow the same playbook anytime someone tries to get out of major contracts. I believe Mariah survived 2001 by the grace of God.

As much I think she is tremendously strong and is a true survivor, I also think after decades of atrocities against your life and legacy, you are inevitably going to be fatigued, which is what I've been feeling from her in these last years. Her overall demeanor, even when laughing, still has that cloud hovering over it. There is such a deep sense of sadness in her eyes that you can just feel.

Also her instrument is not cooperating with her anymore. I think that's the main problem.

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,841) by nancy from Switzerland
Great outfits. They look good on her. But lately for MC it is not about the music, it is only about her looks and fashion logos. She has the urge to show off. I don't feel the motivation anymore in her music. No stage presence. At interviews she speaks so slow. Like she is doing a favour to someone giving this interview. Other celebs like Madonna etc who are much older still drop singles and remixes altogether in no time and also implement fashion in their art. They give interesting and natural interviews. In Mariahs management there is no organization. Just delays. And lack of promoting. Her old stuff like Christmas gets all the attention. Just to squeeze the last money from her old success. Madonna, also started with Holiday and La Isla Bonita. But she moves on to the next chapter. I also dislike that Mariah communicates loudly. I think I've done enough. If she thinks she has done enough then stop. I am a fan since her very beginning. When Tommy was around there was more structure. If its over it's over.

Drake (113,838) by Giovanni from USA
I'm no fan of Drake but he is projected to do very well with his new album/albums. His sales and his streaming numbers are good and he has gotten decent reviews on the music. I think Here For It All might have sold more and done better if the music was better. I think the album served its purpose as being therapeutic for Mariah but she needs something on the level of Caution at least. I don't expect her to sell like she used to but just make an album that will make the remaining fans she has left happy. I think most of us were over the album fast because the music wasn't the best or the voice wasn't the best, but it was still decent. It did get some success with "In your feelings" and "Jesus I do".

You also forgot to mention Wendy. I don't care what anyone thinks of Wendy, what happened to her is horrible. I really hope she is out of her guardianship soon and back on TV or on a podcast. Daytime television has never been the same without Wendy or Ellen. I didn't wanna believe the allegations against Ellen but I guess they were true. I loved Wendy and Ellen's show, I don't watch TV much these days. It's so scary the thought of Mariah being placed under guardianship. I think in Wendy's case it was to silence her for good and also get her money.

I don't know about Stella, but Morgan tried it. Mariah said where she was when the planes hit in 9/11 - she talked about it. Luckily for her, Morgan didn't have an entire team to help him plan it out. What he tried, they succeeded with Britney.

Looks classy and still respectably sexy. It is the type of ensemble that makes her also look confident and appropriate for her age. I hope it's not just the outfit but something that positively and genuinely exudes from within.

Reported attempt to put Mariah under guardianship/conservatorship (113,830) by TheButterflyReturns from United States
I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Diane Dimond's book "We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong", which is about abuses of guardianship like those committed against Britney Spears.

I just came across a passage where Diane Dimond lists celebrity cases where someone attempted or proposed a guardianship/conservatorship and Mariah's name was mentioned alongside B.B. King, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and others. Has anyone else read or heard anything about this?

It doesn't surprise me that someone tried this against Mariah and it seems most likely to have occurred during the 2001 hospitalizations or the 2016 incident. Stella seems the most likely culprit in my opinion. Dimond's book makes it seem like the system is very easy to weaponize for financial gain. No wonder Mariah was so outspoken in her support for Britney.
