Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,120) by Bobby A from United States It is one possible way that could lead to MC being played on Pop radio again besides a Christmas song. I am here for more pop collaborations especially with Walter A. What if a truce happened and we had no idea that Walter A. and MC are on good terms in 2025.

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,116) by Zachariah from Croatia I am tired of collaborations. I don't approve this. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 10:34)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,119) by Bobby A from United States If Barbra wants to work with MC, everything must be A okay with her voice. This is wonderful news. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 12:01) this is a reply to message 108,113

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,113) by Shezz from Pk Wild rumours circulating about Mariah having done a song with Barbra S and Ariana reported by many sites for Barbra's next album. One site actually reported Walter A is the album's producer. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 03:53)

The Grammys (108,118) by MusicfanJ from Germany "It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin." Absolutely, that is just wrong. I can't take that award show seriously. It has become a joke like a Muppet Show. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 11:20) this is a reply to message 108,106

The Grammys (108,106) by BFF from United States Beyoncé's music was decent at the beginning of her solo career up until the album "4". Particularly, "B'Day" had some good songs on it. Her recent albums often seem like they are written/produced by committees of tastemakers rather than organically produced as collaborations. And she just doesn't have deep, meaningful songs the way that Mariah and others do. It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin. The Recording Academy has really eroded its credibility with these types of decisions. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 12:46)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,117) by Shezz from Pk If she can produce vocals good enough to sing with Barbra and Ariana on the same song, then that puts to bed rumours that her vocals are why she’s not recording an album. I think Mariah would not sign off on such a collaboration unless her voice could pull it off. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 11:18) this is a reply to message 108,115

The Grammys (108,114) by Zachariah from Croatia It is an absolute travesty that Butterfly wasn't nominated for an album of the year. It is a masterpiece and since then, I don't follow Grammy's any more. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 10:06) this is a reply to message 108,111

The Grammys (108,111) by BFF from United States Grammys that Mariah was nominated for and should have won by the year: 1991 "Vision of Love" should have won for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It's a better song and vocal performance than any of the others that nominated. 1996 "Daydream" should have won Best Pop Vocal Album. Joni Mitchell's "Turbulent Indigo" is not anywhere near Mitchell's best work, and "Daydream" is a better album. "One Sweet Day" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" and "Record of the Year". I loved Seal's "Kiss From a Rose", but it didn't need to win Song of the Year and Record of the Year. And why wasn't "One Sweet Day" nominated for "Song of the Year"? 2000 "When You Believe" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas did not need to win in this category. 2006 "We Belong Together" should have won Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It is undeniable that this song was the biggest of the year, and to give the awards to Green Day and U2 was slap in the face to Mariah when she had a great year. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 18:16)

Really? (108,112) by Edward from USA Not only did Beyonce win Best Country Album, but she also took home Country Album of the Year, an absolute travesty. Even she seemed shocked to receive the award. The Grammys have become a complete joke. What's next, Best Fart of the Year? Give me fat effing break. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 00:57)

The Grammys (108,107) by Tameka walker from United states I do agree with you. I heard she has people that write for her and she doesn't give them their credit. I think she is over rated and she is not as gifted as a singer as Mariah or songwriter when it comes to songwriting and singing that's all Mariah. Mariah can't sing like she used to but in her prime Mariah was a force to be reckoned with, her and Whitney. Beyoncé only got that album of the year because [Jay Z] moaned and complained at last year Grammys. When Beyonce first started her solo career it seemed like she couldn't do anything without [Jay] from [Crazy in love] to Dejuve, she have had some good songs but she is not as good as Whitney or Mariah. Those women had some phenomenal voices in their prime. Beyoncé to me is just okay that is it. Another I would like to add is that she is no Michael Jackson either. Michael was. On some other level to me she isn't on I got all of Whitney. Mariah and Michael. I brought [Dangerously in love] and B Day I have only brought like 3 [Beyonce] albums and it was only 3 to 3 songs on each that I liked. With the other three I liked the majority of the songs and I feel like Mariah has always been robbed by the Grammys if you can give Beyonce all those Grammys you can give Mariah some too. To me I think the Grammys lost their credibility. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 14:29)

The Grammys (108,110) by Edward from USA I would never put Beyonce in the same sentence with Mariah or Whitney, they simply can't be compared. I think people like Beyonce because she has maintained a polished public image, she's likable, and she has some good songs too. When it comes to her Grammy wins, it's astonishing to think that she has more than Mariah and Whitney combined, it just doesn't add up. One thing is undeniable though: Beyonce is a phenomenal entertainer. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 17:12) this is a reply to message 108,107

The Grammys (108,109) by Jamie from UK I agree. I loved her in the early days but her music has just gone weird. Her hype is more famous than her actual content. And the fact she has 35 Grammys when she's only had 7 solo number one songs on Billboard baffles me. All her albums have gone to number one on Billboard but if you look at majority of the singles from those albums since 2011 hardly any of them have scrapped into the top 30 let alone the top 20. I definitely smell a rat with Beyoncé and Jay Z. And that video clip of her "surprise" at winning best album, I'm not buying it, it looked completely fake and staged.

The Grammys (108,101) by Bobby A from United States I have been trying to figure out for years why she is treated like royalty. Why does the Beehive go crazy when she releases new music or announces a tour? Also, I think there have been a lot of ghost writers on her albums who have given her songwriter credits. Take away all of the ghost writers Beyonce couldn't write one hit song. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 01:09)

The Grammys (108,108) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't even understand what is she singing about. I can only focus on her first three albums - the rest is just a noise in my ears. And I tried. (Tuesday 4 February 2025; 15:51) this is a reply to message 108,106

Covers compilation album (108,105) by BFF from United States Oops. I can't believe I forgot those, especially Endless Love.

Covers compilation album (108,096) by BFF from United States I would love for Mariah to release a covers compilation album. She has performed, recorded, and released so many great ones that it would be nice to have them all in one place. This is what my track listing would look like: 1. Don't Play that Song (live from Tatou Club 1990) 2. I'll Be There (TOTP or MTV Unplugged) 3. Without You 4. My Prayer 5. Just Be Good to Me (Music Box or Daydream tour live) 6. The Beautiful Ones 7. If Only You Knew (Essence Awards) 8. Chain of Fools (Divas Live) 9. Sweetheart 10. I Still Believe 11. Do You Know Where You're Going To? 12. Hopelessly Devoted to You (Butterfly tour) 13. Against All Odds 14. Out Here On My Own 15. Didn't Mean to Turn You On 16. Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (No Rap) 17. Bringin' On the Heartbreak 18. You and I (BET Walk of Fame) 19. Help Me Make it Through the Night (from "Tennessee") 20. I Want to Know What Love Is 21. One More Try 22. Don't Explain (Elusive Chanteuse tour) 23. Lullaby of Birdland (Elusive Chanteuse tour) 24. Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) There are a couple of others songs she interpolated on recordings or remixes - "Stay A Little While Child", "Make It Last Forever", "If You Should Ever Be Lonely", "Pure Imagination", "Funkin' for Jamaica", etc - but I think that covers most or all of them.

A bit harsh (108,092) by Jamie from UK Zack I appreciate your message and also your passion. But no one has been negative if anything we have shown our love for Mariah. We all too have passion hence why we are upset at what's is now. It doesn't come from a place of hate, it comes from a place inside us that only wants the best for her. There comes a time in life when you have to accept things have changed both in yourself and from those around you. It's not negative it's just reality unfortunately. And yes we are so blessed to have lived in the same time as such greatness, but in my opinion without being negative and yes we don't know what's going on in her life, that greatness of her live performances has past. She can continue to perform on stage if she so chooses, it's her life, but in my opinion I would stop. I wish you well. (Monday 3 February 2025; 13:15)

Vegas show 2025 (108,098) by Terna from Nigeria Sorry Robert, but no. She sounds really bad. And struggles through basic notes now. Her voice is ice cold if it makes sense. This is Whitney Houston all over again if not even worse, because even in that, Whitney had her moments where you heard her old sound shine through - she had more voice to work with than the Mariah of today, it's just bad all through - low notes, barely there chest voice, no modal voice (mix between chest and head), totally closed up 5th and 6th octave (no access at all), weak to non-existent falsetto/superhead voice if any, and irritating screechy whistle notes. With all these, where does she even begin? And with a repertoire like hers that requires all these parts of voice. It's so sad to witness.

A bit harsh (108,097) by Brandon from USA Jamie, well said. I agree 100%. A lot of us that have followed MC throughout her career are genuinely concerned about her. I voice my concern because I care. I want the best for MC and lately, I just don’t feel like we are getting her best. She is just not performing up to the caliber of a legend who has been on stage for 35 years. It’s not about being negative but expressing genuine concern. (Monday 3 February 2025; 19:54) this is a reply to message 108,092
