Re: New Mariah feat. Ariana Grande out 9/2 (101,073) (101,078) by Stacey from USA I think this is a great strategy. Stay quiet then drop hints a few days before and bam release the project. Here's hoping for a Fall surprise. (Monday 29 August 2022; 00:22)

Re: If saying... (101,074) (101,077) by Stacey from USA Saying her voice is shot and MC should retire is of course being negative. Saying she's fat and needs to loose weight is negative. I don't deny that. The real problem, the point I'm trying to make is when someone takes that "negative" comment as a personal attack against their own opinions and seeks to tell that person off, prove them wrong, you're not a real fan, etc. I believe in the free exchange of ideas. Such a lost art. (Monday 29 August 2022; 00:20)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,069) (101,076) by jaker20 from US I personally don't mind her re-recording her classic albums in some way, sort of a different spin but the overall spirit of the songs and album would still be there. These are classic albums that can never be replicated. So she should put a different take on them, not just sing them note for note, like covering her own songs. But it would take plenty of creative thinking to achieve it, or getting the right people involved. I think classic songs should be updated for them to really reach more people and classic status. Beatles and Elvis songs would be forgotten by now if it wasn't for hundreds of artists covering his songs. Mariah's songs are difficult to sing, which is a double edge sword. No one can replicate her originals, but it also limits transcending different walk of life because of their degree of difficulty to sing, and that's where covers and reinterpretations come in.

Re: Negativity (101,061) (101,075) by jaker20 from US The latter. Some here are just being oversensitive. I don't see anything wrong with posters expressing their thoughts particularly when Mariah is being silly. Imagine being one of the most impactful female artist of all time, having the most number 1's, next only to the biggest band of al time, now wanting to be called the queen of Christmas. What a giant step down just to make money. She's already the queen of Christmas by main accounts. But to claim it for more Christmas bags and merch is embarrassing. It just make her seem like she doesn't want to make music anymore. It is bound to backfire. She should focus on making music. I want more of Caution and show more of her art. One thing that do annoy me though is when lambs say her voice is shot. That's a lie. It's only true if you think Mariah should make more 90s type music where she does high notes 90% of the album. That style has its time, 30 years ago. She also doesn't sound like that anymore. It's not better of worse, just different. Caution proves that, because she sounds great on it. She should express her art in that level now, and collaborate. It's called changed and growth. Unfortunately she may have to shred some lambs who expect her to sing in 90s standards. But it's not like they're checking Caution. Peace all. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 21:30)

If saying... (101,074) by Matty from Vancouver Canada If saying your "opinion" is that Mariah's voice is shot, she's got nothing left and she needs to retire isn't negativity. Negativity doesn't exist. There's opinions, and then there's negativity. Don't confuse the two. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 20:54)

Re: New Mariah feat. Ariana Grande out 9/2 (101,063) (101,073) by Terna from Nigeria I think it is because there's an audio clip, I also saw a compilation record track listing which basically had the songs she wrote during the "Butterfly" [era] but also [including] her own demos for the Allure songs, slated for September 16th this year. We all know by now that Mariah has been very silent for a long time now and that's indicative she's hard at work on a project but trying hard not to divulge any details or end up under pressure to put out something just because, and I think this is the best way to have it. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 18:48)

Vocal influences (101,072) by Terna from Nigeria This just might be one of Mariah's favorite songs, I can hear the influence on her singing style. Exaggerated soft falsetto verses and big voiced choruses. Ugh how time flies, I still remember when I heard this song for the first time. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 18:37)

Re: Negativity (101,064) (101,071) by Bobby A from United States Yes, it is. I am staying very busy this year. Have a great year. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 14:25)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,067) (101,070) by TheWind from England I'd love a new Mariah album, and you're right, it's completely her decision to do what she wants. I'm merely expressing what I would like or what I think she should do. I'd love Mariah to do a comeback and I'd love to be wrong, but I'm just saying I don't see it happening if we get more experimental type RnB stuff. That's all. And let's be clear, I love Mariah like you wouldn't believe. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 12:21)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,053) (101,069) by TheWind from England I agree with this, but personally, I don't want any of her classic records reimagined. However, it would be better than her making what she perceives to be a cool record. (Sunday 28 August 2022; 12:19)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,067) (101,068) by Tameka walker from United states I couldn't agree more. We have lost so many greats and Mariah is still here by the grace of God. Let's show her our love while she is still here. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 19:43)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,052) (101,067) by Anonymous from USA 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. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 17:55)

Re: Negativity (101,061) (101,066) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Wee bit too sensitive to opinions contrary." Oh yes. Sadly it seems nowadays a trend worldwide. I remember a time [where] different opinions weren't taken negative. Good times. And the people seemed happier. Anyway who wants to start with something positive? Anything? (Saturday 27 August 2022; 17:19)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,037) (101,065) by Susana from USA I agree, probably the most ridiculous is still the name Zillion Heir. I don't know that he will inherit that much by the time it's split a zillion ways. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 17:07)

Re: Negativity (101,062) (101,064) by Stacey from USA Fellow SPED teacher, how cool is that? Hoping you have a good year. I hear you on living the weekends. A good MC song does me good on my drive home. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 14:34)

New Mariah feat. Ariana Grande out 9/2 (101,063) by Chicago Lamb from USA Could this be real? (Saturday 27 August 2022; 14:06)

Re: Negativity (101,061) (101,062) by Bobby A from United States Lol. Stacey, I am a middle school special education teacher. I see and hear everything. I have two small group classes and three co-teaching classes with a control freak. He treats me like I am his assistant teacher. You know I live for the weekends by Friday. Anyway, we are just ready for a new album from MC. At least when she posted pictures in the studio, we knew something was on the way. She doesn't do that anymore. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 11:07)

Negativity (101,061) by Stacey from USA Can't blame me, lol. I haven't posted much the past few weeks. Been too busy as school has started back. P.S. I teach high school special Ed. P.S. Is it really negativity or folks getting a wee bit too sensitive to opinions contrary to their own. Asking for a friend. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 07:56)

Re: A bit too much negativity (101,057) (101,060) by Bobby A from United States At this point, I would take Caution Part 2. MC just needs to stop all the talking about recording new music and just make an announcement that MC16 is on the way. What MC needs is to record a couple of songs with two legends- Darryl Hall/One On One and Peabo Bryson/Feel The Fire and she could be #1 in 41 countries like Ms. Britney Jean. (Saturday 27 August 2022; 02:31)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,058) (101,059) by Geronimo from USA Going on and on about Nick Cannon's reproductive habits on Mariah's fan page is weird. How in the world is a black man's family life any of your business to the extent that you need to go on and on about what you imagine his psychological profile must be? It's weird that you don't feel weird doing that. Having said that, yes. I wish I didn't have to read about his behavior or his thoughts anywhere because what I do know is more than what I would like to know. But my goodness, can we not just look away and whistle - at least out of respect for... oh, yes of course, Mariah Carey? (Friday 26 August 2022; 22:55)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,054) (101,058) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm so embarrassed I wanted Mimi to get back with this guy. Having 10 kids by almost half a dozen different baby Mamas in 2022 is so disgustingly irresponsible when we have 8 billion locus on this planet already. I donno. There is no population shortage on this planet. You're cute Bud, but your seed ain't gold. Mariah must be humiliated. Roc and Roe probably won't even know half their siblings. I think they stopped with introductions after Golden tbh. Nick, dig deep into that narcissism, gluttony and those control issues during therapy. (Friday 26 August 2022; 20:43)

Re: A bit too much negativity (101,038) (101,057) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Thank you so much for saying this. I haven't posted in a while for this exact reason. The negativity is like everyone's been body snatched by he who was banned and never to be mentioned again. Relax, it's a trademark for merchandise (people are just pressed they didn't think to do it themselves, earlier). Also, enough with this Mariah should retire (she never will, she's a corporation and we're all just a conversation) and that her voice is shot. She just did Master Class and she showed her voice is not shot. Let her use her voice the way she wants and within its capabilities. Miss Love sounds nothing like she once did either. I love how MC uses her voice on Caution, it's beautiful and ethereal. No one can belt like they did in the '90's (not Celine, not Whitney RIP, not even Madonna can sing like she once did and she never had much of a singing voice to start with). Mariah is and will be a Dolly Parton and a Cher, Teflon for life, and omnipresent in Pop culture whatever the time of year. (Friday 26 August 2022; 20:15)

Re: A bit too much negativity (101,038) (101,056) by Lee from USA I agree with you. I want some positivity too. What's the point about wasting your time complaining about an artist because she is not willing be like another artist? If I was doing that, then I would just switch allegiance to the artist that I was praising. (Friday 26 August 2022; 16:20)

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,053) (101,055) by MusicfanJ from Germany "She has to stop with the r&b/hip hop." Something I would like too. More soulful songs, Jazz, a fun pop-song, Gospel. But I fear Mariah isn't ready to leave the "fresh RnB sound" behind. Unplugged or a duet album or with covers would be great. That would be a big surprise. Maybe one day, I hope so. (Friday 26 August 2022; 14:15)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,050) (101,054) by Randy from USA Let me be clear, Nick has made some poor choices. But let's not sit here and pretend that these women aren't lining up to have his children just because he has money. What kind of mother, knowingly wants to have a baby with a man with ten kids and five different mothers? Yea the money is nice. But you really are settling for a comfortable lifestyle in lieu of your child having their father in their life. At this point, now that his philandering is public knowledge, any new baby mammas are just as disgusting as he is. (Friday 26 August 2022; 12:29)
