Video Vanguard (110,645) by Terna from Nigeria So suddenly, after shunning her videos all these years - 35 years to be exact, they finally wanna give Mariah a moon man? Yeah right. Next? (Saturday 23 August 2025; 00:29)

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,644) by Terna from Nigeria I watched this analysis a while back too and I agree with most of his points of view, especially when he pointed out that Mariah's voice was at its most powerful and free at the "Music Box" era. That was spot on, her voice was front and center with such a wow factor to it, concerts from that era and vocals she did on the records through to early '94 were just jaw dropping, at what a voice was capable of. However, I also think that this was the period where she damaged her instrument. That tour from 1993 created problems that manifested in her modal voice and her ability to sing comfortably inside her range and transition smoothly. I think Oleta Adams or was it Gladys Knight? When interviewed once and asked about Mariah, advised that she sings way too much outside her range, singing with a constant lift since her voice wasn't a textbook soprano voice (this is true) so to speak and she might suffer damage down the line, if she didn't limit the use of her ability to sing so high (This was even before The Emancipation Of Mimi. I wonder what she thinks of that one. Haha.) (Saturday 23 August 2025; 00:24) this is a reply to message 110,598

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,598) by Bobby A from United States This video explains thoroughly everything about MC's voice changes through out years. All of our points are validated in the video in some shape, form or fashion. MC has really been through a lot during her career. (Wednesday 20 August 2025; 10:45)

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,643) by Travis from USA It's unbelievable that some of these other artists have received the award before Mariah even has, like Jennifer Lopez. I feel that MTV has never really gave her the respect over the years that she deserves, but better late than never, I guess. It's about time and well past being due. (Friday 22 August 2025; 23:11)

Try it on me (110,642) by Bill from the UK When MC and Whitney did that "same dress" skit at that awards ceremony and Mariah said "try it on me" as she ripped her dress off to reveal a shorter one underneath, what does that phrase mean? I've never heard anyone ever say it before or since in any similar context, and Mariah seems to think it's one of the wittiest things she's ever said. I know I'm being dense, so can someone explain? (Friday 22 August 2025; 22:28)

People are so toxic (110,641) by Giovanni from USA There seem to be a lot of trolls on X who are not happy with Mariah getting the Vanguard Award. Mind you Beyonce has like two good videos, "Baby boy" and "Single ladies" yet she got the award. I will give her "Crazy in love" but that's about it. (Friday 22 August 2025; 21:20)

Mariah's best videos (110,640) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The disrespect of not having Heartbreaker in the list. My favorite Mariah videos (not in order) - All her "Butterfly" era videos - starting with Honey and Breakdown. The Roof is a classic and I liked the concept and visuals of the title track video. And of course My All, so so beautiful. - Heartbreaker and the remix videos. - The I Still Believe Pure Imagination remix video. - Every video from the TEOM era, no exceptions. Every video is pure perfection. - TMB, I Stay in Love - Triumphant (I want no slander) (Friday 22 August 2025; 20:34) this is a reply to message 110,636

Make It Happen 9. Hero 10. O, Holy Night Honorable mentions: I Still Believe Through The Rain A No No I Stay In Love Dreamlover My All Breakdown It's very likely that either director Joseph Khan or Brett Ratner will be there to give the award.

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,639) by Zachariah from Croatia Such a great news. Congratulations. (Friday 22 August 2025; 17:47)

This is not a greatest hits project, it's a brand new studio album (110,638) by T from USA Everyone I know says the two new songs are just as good as anything in her catalogue. Even if I dare say they weren't exactly as top notch they would bite my head off. (Looking at you ukmix people.) So maybe Mariah could start this historic VMA performance with Sugar Sweet in its entirety. Bring the two girls on stage and after Shenseea's verse then transition to her hits. End with Type Dangerous. Put the songs out there to the public and let them either sink or swim, stand behind this new project. But please Mimi don't bury them in the middle of your legendary classics. (Friday 22 August 2025; 14:06)

Mariah's best videos (110,637) by Bill from the UK Good list. All the Butterfly videos were chef’s kiss, but particularly The Roof. Mariah in the limo, with the rain beating down outside, the flashbacks to the roof top party, the sudden need to drench herself in the pouring rain just to relive that moment/splendour. Superb.

MTV win (110,634) by T from USA Let's continue to vote for her for the R&B category for Type Dangerous. Let's have Mariah own the night with not one, but two awards. It would be cool if she gets characters from the music videos to cameo in this performance. Jerry O'Connel etc. Make this an event and make it re-watchable. I would rather her pick her top 6 music videos and have a little fun with them as opposed to the standing in one spot like the American idol performance. My 5 would be: Start with: Heartbreaker (it was her peak MTV-ness), Type Dangerous, Obsessed, Honey, Touch My Body, We Belong Together. Then Anderson .Paak comes out and they do the duet.

MTV win (110,633) by Lambi from USA Okay so I was correct in my assessment here. I connected the dots. Allure release where she breaks down her music videos is basically signaling that she will win an award. Thank you Gamma. Hope she maximizes this big TV moment. Anyway my faves are: • Honey • Heartbreaker • Boy (I Need You) • Shake It Off • I'll Be Loving U Long Time • Type: Dangerous We can finally set aside Mad TV's, "Another super whack Mariah video." (Friday 22 August 2025; 00:54)

Here For It All (110,484) by Lambi from USA Yup and that Allure release where she breaks down her music videos is basically campaign for her to win a VMA. She set up this year to be tremendously hyped, to be in the forefront and to win, which I'm pretty sure what will actually happen with this nomination. I'm kind of bummed it's through a mediocre song but it is about videos though, not music. She should've gotten it a long time ago with Shake It Off, even as early as Honey, so I'm pretty sure they're like, "Alright, let's just give it to her." Since she's never gotten one before. And with Gamma being a 400 million dollar company. They could easily pull some strings. Going to enjoy the moment. It's always festive when we see our Mariah on TV. Who knows? Maybe she'll drop the 3rd single then. She may have changed gears real quick when she realizes the "favorites" in the album isn't hitting. I hope someone has told her, "Have you written with Jermaine yet?" Except scratch Jermaine and replace with today's hot new producer, with actual talent, then maybe a new WBT moment will come to fruition. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 11:56)

Mtv Video Vanguard Award (110,632) by jaker20 from US Maybe they will release a new video during the show. I read somewhere here that Mariah's shooting a video in Brazil, so hopefully that's for the new single or Sugar Sweet. Mariah has done some really amazing videos. I even like the ones where she's just singing or pretending to sing. I thought the video production of "O Holy Night" is really good, and that's one of the reasons that its become a standard in the album. On her new career path as a Christmas lady, she should lift a few songs from that album and release a solid video every holiday season every year. She's promoting the same album anyway right? Miss You Most At Christmas could be a new classic for her if she does. The two singles from Music Box (Hero and Without You) are also well produced videos. I know people will think "that's just her singing in a concert", "they have no concept". But if you watch the full concert, you just know from the production of those two sets that they thought they will be singles, they put a lot more effort in the camera angles, lighting, Mariah's performance is more animated, audience captured, and all. I mean don't you just hate it when Mariah belts a note in 90s and she's out of focus and its not captured on camera for posterity's sake? They did that a lot in Top of Pops when she was at her peak. It's sacrilege. Anyway, from a concept perspective, my favorites are: Shake It Off, the back-to-back serialized style of Its Like That / We Belong Together, Obsessed (with Mariah pretend-acting as two characters, and one of my all-time favorites Honey. Mariah had a lot of great music videos, and its well-deserved award. (Friday 22 August 2025; 00:53) this is a reply to message 110,629

MTV Video Vanguard Award (110,629) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Mariah is reported to recieve the MTV Video Vanguard Award at this years MTV Video Music Awards. I am absolutly over the top happy about the news, but it is almost also the epitome of irony, that Mariah, who has never won an MTV Video Music Award, will receive the top notch award. It's actually ridiculous and almost an offence to Mariah. But maybe it is MTV's way of apologizing to Mariah for never have given her an award before. Mariah gets respect in places she was ridiculed before, but after many years she gets recognition, as has have been the case many times before. Mariah will may not get her "Believe"-moment, but to get this award, will be equivalent to the success of Cher, in that sense that this will give much more publicity for Mariah in years, it's almost a 18th number one hit-moment, when she surpassed Elvis, but also because this is a freaking nice award to get at 56, after 35 years in the business.

My Mariah song covers (110,627) by Giovanni from USA Yup Mariah was meant to cover this song. In my opinion it would have fit perfect on the "Daydream" album. It gives another flow to the song "Underneath the stars". She also could have covered it during her Emancipation era because her voice was so smooth and on fire during that time. It wouldn't have fit on the album but she could have just covered just for me as a recording haha. Aaliyah did such a good job covering it. I really wish she was still here. Mariah liked her music.

Yes, And (110,625) by T from USA Too bad 'Twilight Zone" wasn't the first single off Ariana's album last year and the the re-release single this April was "Yes, And" (featuring Mariah). It could've served as her first single from HFIA too. It would've went to #1 for sure. Then Type Dangerous could've been the second single to keep the momentum going.

Article: The top producers of the 21st century on the Hot 100 (110,623) by Zachariah from Croatia She doesn't deserve 2/3 of the amount of Grammy's she has. Jay-Z is the only reason why she is having so much of them. (Thursday 21 August 2025; 16:29)

Songs Mariah should cover (110,622) by Stacey from USA Oh my yes, her band intro was a favorite moment of mine too. I dragged my younger sister to the concert, lol. She liked a few MC songs but wasn't a bigger fan like myself. That was the tour where fans picked from a list of songs one song for her to sing. Can't Take That Away was chosen. I sat 15 rows back, dead center. Anyway, fun memories to remember. (Thursday 21 August 2025; 14:39) this is a reply to message 110,618
