Winter Olympics (113,164) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway It's been a long time I have been this excited by a performance by Mariah, I'm also nervous and anxious. It will be prerecorded, for sure, but that is common for big cermonies like this. And as a Norwegian, the Winter Olympics is one of the most important and popopular sporting events, lots of Norwegians will watch the opening cermony. Who is ready for Mariah at the San Siro?

Volarè / Nothing Is Impossible (113,163) by Lainsky from Philippines I saw a video clip of her performance in Italy on X. The event was packed with people, and it seemed like they loved her. Regardless of the type of performance she gave, she continues to be adored by the crowd. That's the power she has built over the past 36 years. Refusing to sing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is both classy and practical - after all, it's February. Who sings or plays Christmas songs this early in the year? This event is the perfect opportunity for her to release the deluxe edition of HFIA in time for her anniversary, along with NII and IYF, or even a completely new song.

Article: Mariah says accuser must pay $1M bill from "absurd" lawsuit (113,162) by Shezz from Pk Yes the message is the same but that is true for most love songs Christmas or not and not what one can have a legal standing on. What matters is the melody and the lyrics which is where Mariah was in the clear. She might have even heard it and have been inspired by it partly which is no crime. I actually really liked the song when Kelly Clarkson covered it in 2020 and then included it on her Christmas album the following year. Her reviving it is what might have played a part in inspiring the guy to challenge Mariah. Coincidentally or not, since then Mariah has had no interaction with one of the biggest self professed die hard lambs, no tributes no collaborations where she would have often been the perfect choice.

Article: Mariah says accuser must pay $1M bill from "absurd" lawsuit (113,159) by TJ from Norway I just listened to the song, and I have to say that there's many similarities. The melody is completely different, but the message is the same. I don't think Mariah's version made a difference for his success, but I can see why he think she has been inspired by that song on some level. Am I the only one? (Thursday 5 February 2026; 20:58)

HFIA (Live) (113,161) by Munny from United Kingdom Stumbled upon a (what seems like) an AI "live concept" video of Mariah singing Here For it All. Would be actually amazing if she did it live if it was taken down a semi-tone. (Friday 6 February 2026; 01:00)

Nothing is impossible (113,160) by Zachariah from Croatia She is so close now, we (Croatia) are right next to Italy. (Thursday 5 February 2026; 23:01) this is a reply to message 113,154

Nothing is impossible (113,154) by Bobby A from United States I think we were all hoping she would perform Nothing Is Impossible. Friday is going to be epic. Nothing Is Impossible should soar on the radio and charts next week. (Thursday 5 February 2026; 11:11)

Nothing is impossible (113,158) by jaker20 from US She looks totally out again. Like her mind is somewhere else. It's sad how Mariah never learned the art of lipping. It is so obvious that they were playbacks. Celine has been lipping for decades, and even during her residencies, and on top of that, she admitted it herself lol. But you will never know it, because she really studied that art of lipping and the performance part of it, so even if you know, you still enjoy it. Mariah is just standing on stage and literally not doing anything. (Thursday 5 February 2026; 17:12) this is a reply to message 113,156

Nothing is impossible (113,156) by Shezz from Pk The two short clips I heard of both the songs in "rehearsal" sounded amazing. I am so happy NII will get some much needed exposure though Bobby A I wouldn't get my hopes up that high. I'm glad she included the chorus, it fits the occasion well better than the verses. I'm sure the production will be beautiful and she will lip convincingly and with passion. I can't wait to see it. (Thursday 5 February 2026; 14:56)

Grammy, songwriting, Adam Lambert, etc (113,157) by jaker20 from US I thought Adam Lambert did a great rendition of Can't Let Go. I love how he twisted the lyrics a bit and his vocals are solid. He's one of the few who gave Mariah song justice. I also loved Teddy Swims and Kesha. But Lambert said something on the red carpet interview. He said "Mariah is great because she knows how to write for her voice, and that's not easy" (or something to that effect), which I thought was very true, and sweet way to recognize Mariah's talents, which we all know to be true. However, in a way that's also Mariah's weakness, because she only knows how to write for her voice, and once her voice declined, she can't capture that same songwriting sentiments. That's because she didn't try to write for other artists earlier. She should have. Lastly, it's very telling how Mariah's fanbase don't know any of these artists. Imagine not knowing Bad Bunny who only happens to be the biggest male artist right now. Absolutely embarrassing (unless, which is what I suspect, these lambs' political affiliations to be completely opposite to Mariah's but that's another topic). Now, do you have to know these new artists? No. But I can't trust an ignorant lamb's opinion on what Mariah should or shouldn't do in the current music landscape or anything for that matter.

Nothing is impossible (113,155) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, finally good news I was waiting for. I love the [Olympics] and Mariah. So the combination is wonderful. I have a very good feeling for tomorrow. NII is perfect for it. I'm very excited for "Volare". Mariah and Italian another great combination. I can't wait.

Should I? (113,152) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Wow. I remember that very day when I was listening to the radio (I think it was late August 98) and it was announced that a duet by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey was happening and in the works. I started jumping and screaming and going around my mother who was nearby. She was saying in the middle of my madness that I was silly and so on. Lol. Do you remember the anticipation during months until we got to hear the new music since the moment of the announcement? It was a torture but very satisfying at the same time. Good old days. Now everything happens so fast that we don't get to savo(u)r it. (Thursday 5 February 2026; 01:01) this is a reply to message 113,147

Should I? (113,147) by Bill from the UK The drip feeding and strategic releases were so well done back in the day, and really down to a fine art in the 90s. I will never forget the rush that ran through me when I was on my bedroom floor doing my homework with the radio playing, and I'm tapping my pen to the beat of this song on the radio, and then right at the climax the DJ said, "What an amazing new song from Mariah Carey." I was a blur of motion as I dived to the stereo to hit record, to hell with whatever was on that blank tape that was already in there. I caught the last 20 seconds of the song and played it over and over and sat by the radio waiting for it to come on again. Boy was I ready and wow was I impressed. It was Fantasy of course. Like nothing she'd ever done before and I sounded so, so good on the airwaves. (Wednesday 4 February 2026; 15:59)

Should I? (113,151) by Stacey from USA Yep, the 90s were awesome. We were spoiled with such good music and raw talent that is so hard to find these days. (Wednesday 4 February 2026; 17:52) this is a reply to message 113,148

Should I? (113,148) by Edward from USA Those were the days. Now they release an album and it's instantly on YouTube. It's good we got to experience that era. (Wednesday 4 February 2026; 16:39)

Should I? (113,150) by Stacey from USA The irony in your story, Bill, for me was I didn't really care for Fantasy when it first came out. Say it so, lol. At the time I was way into her more schmaltzy side and preferred OSD. As I've gotten older and hopefully wiser, I find myself choosing her uptempo stuff over the ballads. Although, yesterday I had HFIA all running through my head, playing in my car. I didn't think anything could top Looking In as my life's theme song. HFIA may just take over that top spot.

Should I? (113,149) by TJ from Norway MC-2026 has been a low point for me so far. I tried to listen to her latest album the other day, and I grimaced (like Calvin in "Calvin and Hobbes") after few seconds listening to it. It's probably because I'm getting older, and she is trying to reach out to a younger audience. I'm not sure about that strategy. It doesn't seem to work out for her. If It's true that The Rarities 2 is going to be released, I think everything will change. I've been a fan for 36 years this summer, and it can't end because of the latest release.

Should I? (113,143) by Edward from USA I haven't watched any of the performances, but based on what I've read here, I'm not really motivated to. The celebrity era is over. People just don't care the same way anymore because celebrities are constantly in our faces. It used to be exciting when an artist dropped a project, promoted the hell out of it, and then disappeared once it ran its course. They gave us a reason to miss them. I remember when we knew Mariah was about to release an album two months in advance because a Maxi-Single would come out first, the anticipation was insane. Now everything is instantly available. Sure, it's convenient, but it kills the buzz and the sense of anticipation that made it all feel special. (Tuesday 3 February 2026; 17:10)

Mariah (113,145) by Mariahsbaby from usa Lets talk Mariah, I fell in love with Mariahs voice at first, studied her music for awhile but ultimately stayed for her heart. I have probably spent just as much time on her interviews, especially the ones where others speaking on her. From her ex-husband Nick to the random people that Mariah's generosity has touched. The amount of witnesses that have spoken so highly of her heart and her character speaks volume. One of the things I love the most about Mariah is her love for the son of Mary, a man who preached forgiveness, humility and mercy. Qualities Mariah exodus. "Couldn't we just help each other? Isn't there enough to share? There's got to be a way To connect this world today Come together to relieve the pain" (Wednesday 4 February 2026; 04:32)

Should I? (113,144) by Lainsky from Philippines Great observation, Edward. I agree with you. The excitement and anticipation that used to come with waiting for new music just isn't the same anymore. It seems like success is fleeting now. I watched a YouTuber reviewing the Grammys who mentioned that today's music is deteriorating. While there are a few good songs, they lack staying power, meaning they probably won't be played or remembered forty years from now. Regarding the recent tribute, just take a look at the video snippets to see if it's worth watching. I found myself questioning the connection to Mariah Carey of some of the performers, with the exceptions of Jennifer Hudson and Busta Rhymes. I mean, come on. As some lambs have commented, it would have been great to see artists like AG, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Clarkson involved. (Wednesday 4 February 2026; 03:43) this is a reply to message 113,143

Tribute and more (113,141) by Stacey from USA Exactly. Also, most celebrities are a bunch of hypocrites. They support climate change, yet fly around in their big jets. Meanwhile their loud voices affect policy that can affect my bottom line. Celebrities support gun control, yet you'll never see them walk around without armed security. It's why I see celebrities as tone deaf. They walk around in their bubble, not aware of how the rest of us live. Ricky Gervais called them out years ago and I'm so glad he did. There is a reason why no one watches award shows anymore. Anyway, back to MC, lol. (Tuesday 3 February 2026; 16:02)

Tribute and more (113,140) by Anonymous from United States My irritation with celebrities making these statements is not necessarily about the lecturing. I find that they are often motivated by self-promotion and/or being perceived as a "good person", not by an actual concern for the issue at hand. In my experience, celebrities are often quite misinformed on these topics and lack an appreciation for the complexity of the world we live in. They simply scour social media and align themselves with the direction of the Twitter winds. The algorithm rewards those who are the loudest or most visible, regardless of whether or not their perspective has any sort of intellectual rigor. I don't need Kehlani or Bad Bunny or Billie Eilish to tell me how to think about geopolitics - I have a subscription to the New York Times and The Economist, a college education, a mind of my own, and am perfectly capable of forming my own opinions about complex issues.

Tribute and more (113,138) by Mariahsbaby from usa Like many, I was so mad over those tributes, but after seeing how much fun Mariah had, she was literally singing along to every performance and basically broke down a few seconds at the end of her speech. I know in my heart, Mariah knows she is so well loved and respected by her peers and fellow artists. That makes me so happy. Now lets talk Grammys, I find it comical how it's only "certain people" who get offended by artists speaking out on issues affecting real people. It's so easy to demand just "entertainment" when you privileged enough to be untouched by the consequences. Also very funny how people only care about "celebrities lecturing" when the message doesn't serve them. Humans have used art to speak out against power since forever and will continue to do that. Also very comical and hypocritical of Ricky to try and lecture others. Anyways I hope everyone turns in for Super Bowl Halftime just to send another lecturing moment into the world. Let me go and watch the best national anthem aka by Mariah Carey. (Tuesday 3 February 2026; 02:36)
