Heavy songs (109,617) by Bill from the UK Oh is Mariah a beauty school drop out? She's never mentioned it. (Saturday 5 July 2025; 01:20) this is a reply to message 109,602

Heavy songs (109,602) by Randy from USA Jaker20, I think Portrait on Caution is heavy so she'll do at least one. Languishing from Memoirs is heavy. Most of yall hate it but Memoirs to me is the closest follow up to Butterfly. I remember Mariah saying in the promos for Glitter, I'll never abandon my ballads they are a part of me. We will get something heavy on the new album. Any word on an album title yet? Dangerous? No MJ did that. Overhead Lighting? Anniversaries? Hey, it's one word. Beauty School Drop Out? The Reinterpretation of Mimi? How about, The Mimi Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2? Maybe, Mariah Nunez? Me. I'm Still Mariah. The Songbird Supreme. Ok ok I'll stop, (Friday 4 July 2025; 14:15)

A few more possible albums titles (109,616) by Bobby A from United States Stop it, Randy. I love your creativity. I think that I have figured out the album title. The album title will be the title of the second single. All of the signs are pointing to that one key phrase MC made during the Apple interview for the hint. MC said, "I don't want to reveal the whole thing." Butterfly was the second single from the Butterfly album. A summer album release with a summery song needs a summery album title. Okay, I am thinking too hard. Lol. (Saturday 5 July 2025; 00:37) this is a reply to message 109,615

A few more possible albums titles (109,615) by Randy from USA I'm a Horrible Piano Player. Mic Unplugged. I'm a Songwriter. Dangerous Lighting. I'm a Melodically Driven Individual. The Collaborations of Mimi. Glitz. It's All About The Ensemble. E=MC to Infinity. I Needed 8 Hours of Sleep To Make This Album. Me. I Am Mariah. But Trey & Mary Ann Are Out Shouting Me. Butterfly Ring. Ok I'll stop. Wait, how bout The Emancipation of my Bad Side? No? (Friday 4 July 2025; 22:31)

#Beautiful / album title (109,614) by Zachariah from Croatia #Beautiful, for me, had one parameter [too] much in [its] formula and that was Miguel. For me, it had a great sound, melody, even the video, but it felt like it was his song feat. Mariah. Hated that. Regarding the title of a new album: I am ok with MC16 or MC Sweet 16. Beauty [School] Drop Out is not something other people, who are not hard core fans and don't know the reference, would get or understand. (Friday 4 July 2025; 18:42)

Heavy songs (109,613) by Bobby A from United States I know Edward. I can't wait any longer though. I want all of the album details next Friday. Anyway, I have been a bad boy lately so got to continue my sinful streak this month. Lol. (Friday 4 July 2025; 17:38) this is a reply to message 109,611

Heavy songs (109,611) by Edward from USA Bobby A, holding up on revealing the album title actually builds anticipation. TD is pretty much a thing of the past now. The info we got was more than enough: the album's finished, it'll have 11-12 tracks, a new summery single is coming soon and we're getting at least one big ballad. Remember that gluttony and greed are two of the seven deadly sins. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:54)

Beauty School Drop Out (109,612) by Dove from United States She could finally do an official cover. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:57) this is a reply to message 109,610

I love Beauty School Drop Out (109,610) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands There is already a song on the soundtrack of Grease with that title. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:47)

Heavy songs (109,605) by Bobby A from United States Getting the album title from MC is where Nate and Ebro failed during the Apple interview. I don't understand why she just didn't reveal the title during the interview. It is not like another artist is going to steal the title for their new album. I feel it is going to be a one or two word title that she has titled her most her successful albums. Plus, I feel L.A. Reid and Larry Jackson has some new music industry tricks up their sleeves if MC just plays her cards right and listens to both men. I believe she is listening this time. The Grammy and Rock and Hall of Fame stakes are higher because she wants them take to notice of her work in 2026. (Friday 4 July 2025; 15:47)

New single soon (109,608) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter #B would have definitely gone higher had they been able to keep with the original plan but unfortunately due to Mariah's injury it was dropped. The remix was fire and a hot remix video would have definitely propelled the song well into top 10 if not top 5. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:37) this is a reply to message 109,606

New single soon (109,606) by Bobby A from United States Miguel was riding high at the time because of his hit song Adorn. I believe they were hoping to create a song similar to Adorn, but it didn't happen that way with Miguel bringing his unfinished song to the recording studio. #Beautiful made it all way to #15 back then because of radio airplay. (Friday 4 July 2025; 15:53)

New single soon (109,607) by Edward from USA I always thought #Beautiful was a solid song, but it felt like it was missing something, maybe a bridge or a little extra punch. Now, the remix with Jeezy was imply great to me. That high note around the 3-minute mark? Pure heaven. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:03) this is a reply to message 109,598

New single soon (109,598) by Jamie from UK I never really got #Beautiful. I was disappointed when it was released, I didn't get the hype around it. Whilst I don't dislike it it's not a song I go to. (Friday 4 July 2025; 09:09)

Summer fun songs (109,604) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MOAIA is definitely one of my most listened to Mariah albums. I love that album from start to finish and to date they sound so fresh and fun. A shame it didn't get as much shine as it deserved. (Friday 4 July 2025; 15:26) this is a reply to message 109,603

Summer fun songs (109,603) by Andy from Germany I absolutely agree. She has changed, she has evolved. Actually, I am a huge fan of the Memoirs and was a lot into the album when it came out. "Ribbon" still makes me go nuts when I hear it. And I also enjoyed the records that followed. Vocally she has changed and that fine to me as well. She is almost 60 and will not song like her 20 year old self. But all of this has been much discussed. TD is a banger. You can say what you want. Her age and somewhat strange diva persona haunts her. My nephew is a straight skater dude and really liked the track when I played it, but was disappointed when I told him it was Mariah. You guys have a great summer. Bye. (Friday 4 July 2025; 14:23)

Summer fun songs (109,594) by jaker20 from US I can almost guarantee you that Mariah isn't going back in time and do those songs like Anytime You Need A Friend and songs from that era. She's a different person from Memoirs onwards (MIAMTEC, Caution), and the new album is likely a continuation of that. As much as I want her heavy melodrama songs, she's not that person anymore. People change, and she's no different. Mariah herself says its a different time and cannot and should not be repeated. The album is likely in the vein of Caution and Memoirs which is a good thing. I think Memoirs is her sweet spot right now, vocally and creatively. Surprisingly it's turning out to be one of her more enduring albums. (Friday 4 July 2025; 04:29)

New single soon (109,601) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Fair enough, and while I did enjoy it when it came out, I haven't since then revisited it. At that point of time it was a refreshing sound from Mariah. But I agree it's not A+. Honey, Heartbreaker would be 2 classic summer songs but I don't think Mariah will be going that route but who knows we got Migrate 2.0 recently.

New single soon (109,600) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. It's okay, but I never got the hype. Miguel is also overrated on this song, nothing special. There are so many better songs from Mariah that have a summer vibe. (Friday 4 July 2025; 12:36) this is a reply to message 109,598

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,599) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol, old turtle about Gaga. I had to laugh so hard. (Friday 4 July 2025; 12:24) this is a reply to message 109,593

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,593) by Lighty from China Mariah's popularity was huge in China back in the day with hits like Hero, Without You, and later WBT, AIWFCIY, etc. But after the shows in Beijing last year and Shenzhen/Shanghai this year, people start to realize her lip syncing thing and her reputation declined a little bit, especially online. I remember reading someone on this board saying in Asia when lambs took part in a singing contest or an audition they won't sing Mariah's classic hits, instead they'll sing lesser known songs such as TTR, CTTR, Can't Let Go, Never Too Far, to name a few. That is totally not the case, at least not here in China. As to the nickname cow sister, in modern Chinese slang when we say something is awesome/amazing/brilliant, we say it's "Niu Bi" which literally translates to "the vulva of a cow", doesn't sound so good but Niu Bi is a rather positive word. In the case of Mariah, people recognize her amazing vocal skills, 5 octaves, and the whistle tones. So we say she is very "Niu Bi", she's a Niu Bi sister, and in short, she's the Niu sister -> cow sister. And the lambs here are still lambs, but also sometimes called "cow dung", doesn't sound decent either but we take it. As in China, fans of western divas are all more or less called "shit" in some circumstances. For example, fans of Gaga, "turtle shit", as Gaga herself is nicknamed "old turtle" here.

New single soon (109,589) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How's everyone feeling about getting another new song in the coming weeks? There's rumours it might be next Friday. I can't believe we went from 0 new Mariah songs to 2 in such a short span. She said the song will be "Summery" I wonder what that means? Are we talking #B, IBLYLT, TMB style? If so I'm pumped I would love to blast Mariah all summer. This also means we'll get a new video soon. I'm sad we never got a cool remix for T Dang but honestly it's a good song and I'm still playing it. My husband keeps repeating "I don't have time for the rigamarole" hahah. I hope for the next single we have the video ready in advance and possibly a remix and some more radio deals like T Dang. We also need some clever promo like I mentioned before. She focused too much on just radio shows this time, we need more diversified promo and fun skits. (Friday 4 July 2025; 01:03)

Webmaster (109,597) by Haiji from United States My apologies for the long messages. I hope I didn't exceed any boundaries or broke any rules. I just thought it'd be nice to share that info with the lambs. You don't have to post this message, it's only intended for you. Thank you as well. (Friday 4 July 2025; 05:49)

New single soon (109,596) by Bobby A from United States I am so ready. I want the second single to be a jam that has a strong melody, a hook, two verses and bridge. (Friday 4 July 2025; 05:01) this is a reply to message 109,589

While we wait... (109,591) by Haiji from United States Yall feel like playing a list game? So the concept is choosing 2 non-single, favorites from each album and adding an additional 2 bonus non-album songs to create a rare compilation album. Hope I explained that correctly. I'll go first, hope yall will join in. 1. Prisoner 2. Alone In Love 3. So Cold (I actually love this song lol) 4. The Wind 5. I've Been Thinking About You 6. Everything Fades Away 7. Long Ago 8.

Help Me Make It Through The Night Forgot how extensive her catalog was, thought it would be shorter lol well it is a compilation album. I omitted her Christmas albums to keep the flow of the songs going. Btw, I asked chatgpt for a list of Mariah unreleased songs to refresh my memory and I was surprised to see a few songs mentioned that I've never even heard of. I'll discuss this in my next post.

Summer fun songs (109,572) by Randy from USA Jaker20 we never agree on anything but I could not disagree with you more on this topic. I actually would rather an album full of heavy, self introspective songs. I listen to Languishing, Anytime You Need A Friend, Close My Eyes and Through The Rain constantly these days. I appreciate Touch My Body for the melodically driven verses and the camp video. Shake It Off is fun also. Songs like that are needed. But so are songs like My All, Petals and Vanishing. I think we're getting both on the new album. I wanted a heavy Adele-like album with songs like Hello, Easy on Me, Million Years Ago and Someone Like You. That's not where MC is. I don't even think that would sell for Adele at this point in today's musical landscape. But some of us are heartbroken or want our hearts broken. Not everything can be light.

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,586) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, that's where my mind instantly went. Standard 10-12 songs plus remixes and then the extra handful for the deluxe, potentially after Christmas. Milk the era, girl. Ooh, and while I'm quoting you, can you share how Mariah's popularity was born in China and how it's evolved? That'd be super interesting to know. Like the story of "Sister Cow" being a term of endearment for her, is that canon of fanfiction? Who coined that? Are lambs in China called calves? (Thursday 3 July 2025; 18:12)
