I hear she does car commercials. In Japan. One time she met John Stamos on a plane. And he told her she was pretty.

What is your initial fan story? (102,632)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
When I first heard Fantasy, and the song was everywhere at that time, I knew that there was something special about Mariah. I'd heard some of her other songs before but I was too young or distracted to appreciate them and notice her. I bought her back catalogue and fell in love even more with her, the lyrics and her unique voice. Eventually I started collecting singles and albums to obtain every possible version of her songs. Teenage years were the toughest for me so I would put on my earphones and fall asleep listening to her albums every night and I would be instantly transported to my happy place. I remember the introspective songs the most, as a gay man I always felt like an outsider myself and I felt comfort in knowing that it would all be okay someday because Mariah told me so. Thank you Mariah for the music. We will always have the amazing unparalleled catalogue that we have affectionately dubbed the soundtrack to our lives.

What fascinated you about MC at any era that compelled you to become a lifetime fan? For me, it was Love Takes Time. Hearing this gem constantly on the radio made me know I was going to be a fan for life.

Legacy (102,613)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
Also, the only artist so far, that I know of, that is now expected to have a number 1 song annually with AIWFCIY. She's unparalleled as an icon and would have more number 1s if the single choices were handled differently and no one sabotaged her for years. Call me delusional or whatever but I also think she has more hits left in her and possibly another new number 1. I will always support her and buy her records. Having said that, it would be nice if her projects and releases were at least consistent. I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket and she doesn't want it? Have a great day guys.

Legacy (102,611)
by Lady B from USA
| |
|
|
Her legacy will be 19 (and counting?) #1 hits, more than any solo artist in history, one behind The Beatles. Her legacy will be her induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. Her legacy will be that she wrote or co-wrote 18 of those 19 #1 hits. Her legacy will be scoring #1 hits in 4 decades, which has never been done before.
That's her legacy, of which individual songs are part of but certainly not overshadowing the whole. No one will ever tell her tale as an artist without noting that she has more #1 hits than any solo artist in history.

No new album in 2023 (102,593)

Just perfect. Now she's alienating the last few people who follow her faithfully that are hoping for a solid project or album. I may not move on, but I'm losing my excitement for MC.

No new album in 2023 (102,589)
by T from USA
| |
|

It's been all but confirmed by some Mariah insiders on Twitter that she does not have the rumored projects coming this year that everyone thought. Not even the Butterfly Lounge. That leaves us waiting until next year, however seeing how 2024 is the 30th Anniversary of "Merry Christmas" I'm sure that will be the priority next year.

Observation (102,454)
by Libra Lamb from USA

|

Please tell me what the point was Mr. All Knowing? See, my point was that my grandmother's birthday celebration was my priority that day, not MC or her fans. I'm old enough to know that there are more important things in life than pleasing complete strangers, like MC, her fans, and her now disqualified non fans. That's why I don't post often, everything you say here can and will be used against you by someone who knows nothing about you for some seriously randomness reasons. It's good enough for me that I send positive thoughts to MC all the time, including on her birthday, even if they are not all typed for you guys to read and pick apart. To me that counts more than typing up words for complete strangers to validate. But you know what? We love everybody. Again, it's not that deep. Take it easy.

Although I do not come here to bash or pick MC apart, I don't need anyone telling me if I classify as a fan or not. I simply did not wish her a "Happy Anniversary " because I was too busy celebrating my own grandmother's 95th birthday. Also, this is a fan board, not a direct link to her, it's not guaranteed that she would even see it here. I have, however, wished her well and sent lovely direct messages to her via social media, and guess what? No response. But I don't care, I am sure she's too busy to acknowledge everyone just like I was busy on her birthday. It's not that deep. Take it easy.

Many people on this board who post negative things about Mariah like to hid behind they "care" and are "fans", but are being "honest" and sometimes that means tough love. I'm on record as saying I think that's largely malarky, and they snidely deride me when I say that, But for a "fan board" very few folks wished her Happy Anniversary, and none of the regular critics. Indeed, plenty of posts before and after, but very few on the day of. Compare that to other fan boards of other artists, which have a higher percentage of posters who are actual, well fans.

Super Bowl (102,234)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
I'm not saying Mimi can't shine at a Superbowl performance, but I will say don't ever count her out. When they think that she can't do something, she sets out to prove them wrong. The Emancipation of Mimi, for example. She just needs to focus, her catalogue speaks for itself. Now, where the hell is new album and The Rarities 2?

Super Bowl (102,232)
by Todd from Sydney, Australia
| |
|
|
I am not sure Mariah would be all that interested in doing a Superbowl half time show - the workload required would be massive. I think it would be awesome if they did a "Divas Live" type setup with a bunch of 'divas' sharing the stage - Mariah, Ariana, Madonna, Celine, Beyonce, Gaga, Whitney on the screen - I'd tune in.

It's A Wrap EP (102,200)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
I'm glad to see Mariah getting a lot of attention for a song that is over a decade old, besides AIWFCIY. Whoever said Mariah is not relevant until Christmas is delusional. The thing is, her discography has so many gems like this one and the children don't even know it yet, but they are slowly discovering her music. She's been slept on by the general public since TEOM and I think people are starting to crave real music again because the radio and top 40 is mostly hot garbage. She is and will always be the queen. All hail Mariah.

2010s the decade of scrutiny (102,178)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
I have to agree with this post, however, for me personally I love every MC album from 1990 to present, but if I had to name one that I play the least is Chanteuse. It was good, but it has been my least favorite since its release and I hardly ever revisit it. Great songs but it feels like something signature Mariah was missing. Maybe one day it will grow on me. Until new music is released, we have an entire discography to revisit that most artists could only dream of. MC is a musical genius and no one will ever take that away from her, like the light that shines bright inside of her. Now come on Mimi and put out a new album already.

2010s the decade of scrutiny (102,176)
by "MariahHater" from Hell
| |
|
|
It made me realize that this decade has been very harsh for Mimi. I can't help but be sad about every year that she has to go through careerwise but the very least she has her twins. Even the music was on point, maybe we are not used to her being a hitmaker but try to give all her 2010s releases a spin and you will be surprised that I missed and the general public missed out a lot. For me if I was Mariah, I would also put my career on the backseat and focus on my core family. As she was a product of a broken and dysfunctional family, she still put the welfare of the children over hers and I must say that this is means more than to keep her chart records, additional number ones and career milestones because at the end of the day, they are just skins that we shed and not the core of who we are as a human being. That being said, I hope you guys give love to her 2010s releases as they are something and if released today can still stand on their own. That is the magic of Mariah Carey. I don't want to make this more longer but on my next posts, I will tackle how people lambasted Triumphant when it's a fire song if released this 20s.

If you could... (102,153)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|
|
I would squeeze an album between Daydream and Butterfly, there was so much creativity and her voice was amazing and her spirit strong after her divorce. I imagine the lyrics would be some of her best following Butterfly, and the production unmatched. Also, the remixes would be pure fire, as usual. Title of the album: Enchanted. All original break up and love songs, a fun dance or club track or two. #1 debut album and lead single. I don't know if I believe there weren't any leftover tracks after Butterfly, I guess she was curating her All That Glitters album then too and I know the Glitter soundtrack is one of my faves in her discography. I personally think it's better that she recorded the entire soundtrack without giving half of the tracks to other artists. That's what makes it signature Mariah and special.

If you could have one extra album squeezed in over the years where would you want it? I think I’d have liked another album squeezed in before Daydream. Music box has always been my favourite and I think with those vocals and adult contemporary/pop style I would have liked another album of similar style.

Do you think Mariah will ever release the music video for Last Night a DJ Saved my Life in High Def? She looks so gorgeous and I must say that the Glitter era was the best aesthetically. One of my favorite soundtracks. Also, we need that campy movie released on digital ASAP with all the music videos and lots of bonus features. All I want for Christmas is this. It's time.

Thank you for posting this MC85, and I am glad you decided to post this because we all need some positivity around here. It has been disheartening to read some of the harsh criticism towards Mariah. It's, in my humble opinion, unnecessary. Having the need [to] state your opinion doesn't exclude you from being [a] human being and more compassionate, regardless of how strongly you feel about it. Sometimes I think some of you must be unhappy in your own lives to come here and want to put down and bash, yes bash, someone who's done nothing to you but provide her artistry as best as she can over the years. We love everybody.

Hey all. I'm a long time lurker and never ever post here but I just wanted to shout out Joachim for bringing some positivity into the mix.
We can all agree MC's voice is not what it used to be but reading everyone's unnecessarily (imo) verbose and vitriolic comments lately is pretty disheartening.
Aren't we all here because MC has been a majorly positive influence in our lives? Hasn't she helped us all through the bleakest of times? Hasn't her artistry helped some of us feel more understood and maybe less alone in the world? I know she has been and done all of these things for me thankfully.
She's a human being with deep insecurities that we are all aware of and personally I feel she deserves a bit more understanding and a bit more love.

I've never cared for Nick Cannon. I don't even care if he has 100 kids. The moment he showed off his diamond encrusted shoes hosting America's Got Talent I was repulsed. You know he had to pass by a ton of homeless people that day to get to his hosting job. Disgusting and out of touch with reality. Read the room Nick.

It's not that deep. Religion obviously means a lot to you Terna, but it doesn't mean that much to others. As a spiritual person, I believe in a higher being, but I don't think someone's opinion or statement is enough to worry about and get upset over. If anything, let others have their own opinions and let them worry about it when, and if, Jesus Christ comes back to judge them. You can't tell others what to think and what to say, we all have the right to believe and say whatever we want about religion or spirituality. I personally believe that religion is something that man invented to control others and profit off of their fears. Example the Catholic Church. Am I to burn at the stake too for my beliefs? I think not. I'm still a person who has good and evil inside, just like everyone else in the world. I would worry about the "blasphemy" and keep living my life focused on myself and how to improve as a human being. But, we love everyone.

I love me some Toni Braxton, love her voice, her tone, her everything. I still want an MC collaboration with her. Long as I Live was soooo good, I get emotional with this one.

No disrespect to anyone here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Having said that, I don't think anyone except Mariah should decide what kind of music or album she wants to put out. She's so much more than we give her credit for. I wish she would release another comeback album just to show you all. Please give her the flowers she deserves while she is still with us. She's a musical genius.
