Re: How Mariah has helped me (99,959) (99,961) by Bill from the UK Joachim I loved your post. Congratulations on the apartment, so nice to hear how happy it has made you. It resonated with me because I too have a lovely apartment on the top floor with a South facing balcony, so I know what a pleasure it can be to have your morning coffee with Mariah. It's a joy I often allow myself too. The weather in the UK has been lovely recently, and I often have my breakfast and read the newspaper with Mariah playing inside and gently flowing outside onto the balcony.

Re: Concert ensemble (99,958) (99,960) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In 2004, for the Charmbracelet concert here in Malaysia Mariah, she only wear one ensemble which is her pink Automatic Princess top and long pants. She was Curlyriah that night. 40,000 people, lambs or no lambs, came to the stadium that night. I was one of them. (Monday 21 March 2022; 11:19)

How Mariah has helped me (99,959) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I just recently moved into a new apartment, with a balcony facing south, third floor, with a view to the old fortified town of Fredrikstad in the south east of Norway. It's my first real apartment, and Mariah has been with me this whole time. This morning, while I sat and had my morning coffee on my balcony in the early spring sun, I played Make it Happen Live at Madison Square Garden, her best performance ever, on my vintage Phillips 60's record player, and then I cried the tears of joy. I had "Don't let go, don't ever, ever let go" as a mantra since a was around 16 years old. I have had hardships in my life, also being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and has always known Mariah was in a manic state in that infamous TRL episode during the Glitter era. I have found great relief in Mariah's music, especially MIH, UTS, ABMB, WBT, TTB, Butterfly, IBT, and IIO, but have listened to all her music, have all her physical cds, many physical singles, some concerts on DVD, and a few singles on vinyl, every single from TEOM, and a UK Dj exclusive of the CC Music Factory of AYNAF, two discs with remixes, my absolute treasure of a Mariah item. On my bookcase from the 1800s, a Mariah Funky Pop figure is placed, and every Christmas I play Merry Christmas on vinyl. I love you Mariah. (Monday 21 March 2022; 11:16)

Concert ensemble (99,958) by SM from Citizen of the World What was the last concert Mariah performed wearing the same ensemble throughout the whole show? (Monday 21 March 2022; 04:01)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,956) (99,957) by Bobby A from United States Isn't that what a party record does? Gets you out of a funky mood and ready to have fun. (Monday 21 March 2022; 02:01)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,953) (99,956) by T from USA I wouldn't call it a party album. It's more of a mood album. I think the closest she gets to party album is the one that came before Memoirs. Still I don't think he has yet released a full on party album. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 22:31)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,954) (99,955) by Randy from USA Thank you. Most on here are equating Memoirs to dog poo. I gotta be honest. That was the last MC album I loved. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 18:37)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,954) by Mò from South Africa Randy, Memoirs is one of my favorite albums. I even own a physical cd and cherish it. I enjoy it without trying. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 17:59)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,953) by Bobby A from United States Memoirs to me will always be the first Mariah Carey album that did not feel like a Mariah Carey album. It felt like The-Dream and Tricky Stewart album. They brought the beat, some lyrics, and the demos. MC just added her lyrics and vocal styling. Nonetheless, it is a good party record and an album worth revisiting every once and awhile. There has never been a MC release to even come close to Butterfly. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 16:58)

Re: Rank the (US) #1s, it's too quiet (99,951) (99,952) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Yes, TJ, I know, don't understand how that song became a #1 hit. In the Wikipedia article about TGIFY, one critic believe it's chart success was based purly on Mariah's reputation. Thank God I Found You is the song I absolutly like the least of all of Mariah's songs, I actually hate it. I rembember when "The Greatest Hits" was released, I used to play both discs at a friend of mine. He didn't dislike Mariah's music, but everytime that song came on, I believe it is the last song on the first disc, he always commented that the song was s**t. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 15:53)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,950) by T from USA One of the professional reviews compared Memoirs to Rainbow I guess due to the banging first single right down to all the interludes. I find it's a mix of Butterfly, Rainbow and Charmbracelet so basically it's Mariah. It's probably the most Mariah she's ever been on one album now that we know her so well. I guess that's what happens when you only work with one person, it gives you a chance for your own personality to come out more. I like it. I wish it was shortened to 12 songs like Butterfly and maybe it would be a little stronger like in 1997. 1. Betcha 2. Obsessed 3. Hate U 4. Candy Bling 5. Ribbon 6. Inseparable 7. Standing O 8. It's a Wrap 9. The Impossible 10. H.A.T.E.U. Remix 11. Languishing 12. I Want To Know What Love Is (Sunday 20 March 2022; 14:04)

Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,949) by Betty from Canada These comments. She already explained all that of this in TMOMC. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 11:57)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,948) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I feel Memoirs is the album when Mariah started to make bland songs without melodies and impossible to sing along to, and she hasn't stopped since. She needs to go back to make songs with good hooks you can sing at a karaoke bar, like Dreamlover, Always Be My Baby, My All, Heartbreaker, We Belong Together and I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time. The Distance was good, though. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 09:36)

Re: "Emotions" in the Masked Singer Belgium (99,933) (99,947) by Victoria from USA Wow. She did the climbing notes of the so high part. I can't recall MC doing it live, like she did it on the recording. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 08:16)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,946) by Bill from the UK Memoirs is cohesive and consistent, but that's also its problem. Having one producer throughout means it all sounds the same after a while. The finger snaps are already pretty dated. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 05:33)

Re: Rank the (US) #1s, it's too quiet (99,934) (99,945) by The Real Deal from USA 1. Vision Of Love 2. All I Want For Christmas Is You 3. Emotions 4. Always Be My Baby 5. Dreamlover 6. Fantasy 7.

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,944) by The Real Deal from USA I actually think that Memoirs sounds more like Charmbracelet part 2. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 04:48)

Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) by Randy from USA Don't curse me out. But uptempo lead hinting at her personal life (Obsessed). Emotional singles such as HATEU (My All) and IWKWLI (80s remake like The Beautiful Ones). A strong spine as in Standing O and It's A Wrap. And introspective non-love tracks like Angel and Languishing interludes. I love the album, not as much as Butterfly, not even close. But I feel that's what it is. I don't understand why this board hates it so much. Ok now I'm ready for the firing squad. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 00:32)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,937) (99,942) by RibbonB from USA I was going to ignore the rest of your post, but I will say that this is a Mariah fan site, so we know her well. We all know who Shawn is and we know all the Allison drama. The tragedy is that Allison has never cleaned up her own life despite much help and input from her family. You are trying to piggyback your blog off of this site it seems, but you are clearly biased by listening to all of Allison's sob stories. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 21:18)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,937) (99,941) by RibbonB from USA Mariah tweeted that statement herself, so case closed. That's her quirk, but it is odd IMO. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 20:28)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,937) (99,940) by RibbonB from USA Well they have her in quotes s saying it herself and she has often called him her brother/nephew. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 20:19)

Re: Happy Thanksgiving (99,932) (99,939) by Bobby A from United States Right. If MC is going to have Gold status sales success with the Butterfly 25th anniversary release, then she is going to need a balance of Pop and R&B artists on the album. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 20:11)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,935) (99,938) by RibbonB from USA Like not lime I meant. Typo. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 19:35)

Article: Mariah Carey texts Shawn Mendes "Happy Thanksgiving" (99,937) by David Baker from United States Mariah didn't say Shawn McDonald is her cousin; the reporter did. McDonald is one of sister Alison's four children. But he is unconcerned that his mother struggles with no teeth and is reduced to asking strangers for donations. (Saturday 19 March 2022; 19:27)
