Where is everybody? (99,521) by Bobby A from United States From Saturday to Monday, there were only 29 posts. Where is everybody? (Tuesday 25 January 2022; 00:57)

Caution the last great album (99,520) by T from USA I would be okay if Caution represents the last studio album Mariah releases. Going forward if she just "re-imagines" old songs and reissues anniversary editions with Rarities I would be satisfied. (Monday 24 January 2022; 23:28)

Re: My All (99,514) (99,519) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, what a song. It's pure Mariah at her best. I'll always like Mr. Jeter just because he insprired Mariah to write and sing those wonderful songs. (Monday 24 January 2022; 16:32)

Jazz album (99,518) by Bobby A from United States I found David Sanborn's Live jazz album Straight From The Heart this weekend. It really has a nice R&B feel to it produced by Marcus Miller (Luther Vandross). It would have been nice in the 1990s if MC collaborated with David Sanborn and Marcus Miller.

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,494) (99,517) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely no to Eminem. It's not even about ego at this point. This man has been extensively verbally abusive towards Mariah. Yes I know it's his style of rap but nope Mariah does not deserve this. No self respecting individual would pull that move just to get views or go viral. Eminem is talented no doubt (even Mariah admits to it) but the way he attacked her for no reason is just not acceptable and I hope she never has to deal with him again. If it comes to ending feuds the only feud I'd want her to put aside is Nicki because Nicki was a Mini fan girl and I feel the producers kinda sparked the "feud" by hyping up both parties. I think Mariah and Nicki's chemistry is fire. "Up out of my face" remix still slays to this day. (Monday 24 January 2022; 05:29)

DFAU (99,516) by Bobby A from United States Yay or nay? Don't Forget About Us should be re-recorded for a slow jam quiet storm mix. We need something for Valentine's Day. I just tweeted MC. (Monday 24 January 2022; 02:13)

Re: Why the secrecy (99,512) (99,515) by Bobby A from United States That makes sense. Her drummer is so good looking. I think Trey lives in Atlanta now. (Monday 24 January 2022; 01:00)

My All (99,514) by Bill from the UK I'm sitting in subdued lighting, listening to My All on my noise-cancelling headphones. What a song. Imagine being Mr. Jeter and having this song written about you. It's so subtle, but has so many layers. And those lyrics. It's just sublime. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 22:42)

iTunes top 100 (99,513) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Does anyone here check the iTunes top 100 charts regularly? I do, maybe once a month or something, but just the R'n'B charts. What I have noticed, is that Whitney, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner and Alicia Keys are always present with a few songs on the chart, Whitney with the most, almost always at least four songs. But the last few months, Mariah's Fantasy has been everpresent quite high on the charts, surely because of Free Guy. But Always Be My Baby has also been on the charts regularly the past few months. Besides those, Mariah rarely makes it to the top 100 a part from Hero or Without You occasionally. The countries where there's a chance of finding Mariah on the R'n'B top 100 are USA, Brazil, Greece, UK, France and Australia (Sunday 23 January 2022; 20:23)

Re: Why the secrecy (99,506) (99,512) by 123 from USA Her band live in Atlanta so she bought a house there so they can jam together and make music. The first Butterfly Lounge was in Atlanta where I think the Butterfly Lounge project was primarily filmed. When she was having trouble finding a place there she mentioned it in passing to Tyler Perry and he found her a home same day. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 19:30)

Re: Mariah Carey 1990 debut in Spotify (99,504) (99,511) by Terna from Nigeria This had been on my mind for quite sometime on and off. It is time for those numbers to be updated, The first album especially has been 9x Platinum since the early to mid 2000's that should have crossed well over 10 million by now being that Mariah is still relevant and active even today, about the only act that debuted in 1990 still releasing stuff. I think there should be a push by her team to get RIAA to update her catalogue's numbers, not just the first album. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 15:23)

Re: Album re-release (99,507) (99,510) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always thought Last Chance and Head Over Heels were originally and left overs from Butterfly. Then she changed her mind and gave it to Allure. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 15:13)

Re: Album re-release (99,507) (99,509) by T from USA Those tracks were probably left off for a reason. I can't imagine making [Butterfly] any longer with leftovers inserted throughout. I would rather prefer a separate Rarities album in which we can listen to individually if the actual parent album from which it originated. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 14:44)

Larrance Dopson (99,508) by Bobby A from United States Larrance Dopson is one of the writers on 8th Grade. He co-wrote the mega hit Boo'd Up with Joella James that launched Ella Mai's career. He primarily works with DJ Mustard. I wonder what was his contribution to 8th Grade. Hopefully, MC has reached out to Joella James. She is very good with coming up melodies. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 14:13)

Album re-release (99,507) by Will from England I was thinking, what if Mariah re-released her early albums up to Memoirs, but restructure them to have some of the already released songs but also to have some demos and unreleased tracks? It would be a cool way to have her rarities part 2 moment but not have to pick select tracks for just one release. There have been so many songs that she has said didn't make the cut for the final albums, she could do something creative for them. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 12:19)

Why the secrecy (99,506) by Bobby A from United States Why do you think MC is being so secret this time about what she is releasing this year? I think that there is a new potential recording deal that she is strategizing and she does not want to lose her contract leveraging power before the deal is sealed. I know on Twitter Spaces she has said several times that, "They get upset with me when I say too much." Could she be referring to Melissa and the executives at Range Media? Whatever she is releasing, will be her most anticipated release of her career. I envision a MC16 double album with The Butterfly Lounge or the Rarities 2 as disc 2. I am hoping for new vinyl in her store including Somebody's Ugly Daughter and Glitter. Yeah, what is up with buying a house in Sandy Springs, GA? Which is not Buckhead but close to it. Just my thoughts. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 20:45)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,499) (99,505) by T from USA Ummm. She "rehashes" it every time she performs the song. She could leave it behind altogether but she doesn't. She also recently did a Tik Tok using the song dressed as Eminem. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 15:14)

Mariah Carey 1990 debut in Spotify (99,504) by Horacio from United States Does anyone have access to the streaming numbers for each individual song from the debut album? I wanna see how close we are to getting that 10x Platinum (Diamond) RIAA certification. If Mariah Carey (1990) and Merry Christmas both become Diamond, Mariah would be the only female artist with 4 Diamond RIAA-certified albums. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 13:34)

Re: I Am Free (99,498) (99,503) by Bill from the UK Well, I'm speculating. MC always said she felt I Am Free had the potential to be a great gospel song, and said she wanted someone from that arena to cover it. The news of her working with the Clarke Sisters, and that this "Butterfly lounge" may be her reworking her old catalogue, is me putting 2 and 2 together. And probably getting 5. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 12:19)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,499) (99,502) by Bobby A from United States Maybe it is not good idea. You have a valid point. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 12:02)

Re: I Am Free (99,498) (99,501) by Bobby A from United States But Matty, pay close attention the bridge and outro. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 11:58)

Re: Article: Is Mariah Carey moving to Buckhead? (99,497) (99,500) by Bobby A from United States MC chose Sandy Springs with all the rolling hills and quick access Buckhead. She must be planning to work with London Da Track, Missy Elliot, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo, Zaytoven, and Drumma Boy. It makes sense to move to where they are since flying them in is not the optimal choice right now. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 11:56)

Re: Mimi in new Super Bowl Halftime commercial (99,494) (99,499) by RibbonB from USA That's absurd. Old trash that doesn't need to be rehashed. It's beyond boring. Are some of you really Mimi fans, or do you just like to remember her trauma and her dealing with her oppressors? Free Brittney and Mimi. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 09:27)

Re: I Am Free (99,492) (99,498) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Wow, really! Re listened with that in mind, and it sounds like a Celine cover still. VOL is its own beast. I Am Free is beautiful, but basic. No VOL. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 05:47)

Article: Is Mariah Carey moving to Buckhead? (99,497) by Korey2 from United Stated Looks like a beautiful place! Congrats Mariah. Let me know when the house warming is and I'll try to swing by. Need a new waffle maker or some yankee candles? (Saturday 22 January 2022; 04:34)
