Chaka Khan (102,276)
by Mirage_Nunez from America

I agree. How disappointing. And I am a huge Chaka Khan fan, she has always been in my top 3 (maybe even 2 behind MC), so I won't take that away from her, but I found her commentary very distasteful especially what she said about MJB. She don't deserve to be blasted like that publicly.  I'm just gonna chose to chalk it up as the side effects of drug abuse.  |

| Said Mariah was ranked #5 on Rolling Stone's best singers of all time due to payola. Basically implying Mariah getting all of her props due to paying out money. I love Chaka Khan but she downtalked Adele, Mary J. Blige as well because they ranked ahead of her. Chaka Khan was #29. I would think that someone who has been in the business for so long would know better to take journalists' bait to create sound bites. Clips from interviews in which you talk bad about people who outsell you make you sound bitter. And when your wigs look like you skinned Snuffleupagus and you have had a drug/alcohol problem for over 50 years, you really shouldn't throw stones anywhere near your glass house. |

| Have y'all heard Chaka sing live lately? Her voice is not there anymore. She is mad because she has really never been seen as a great singer, but just a great performer with Rufus in the 70's. |

Parker Lewis (102,271)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
(Tuesday 28 February 2023; 15:12) | | |
I watched this series again on DVD (it was great fun when I was a child). On episode two there was a poster from Mariah's debut on the wall of the store where Parker was the help.  Pure 90ies. I'm smiling all over my face. It aired on 09.09.90 and Mariah was enchanting and rocking the music world. |

| She should concentrate on putting good music out. At this point she won't be selling a lot, but new music would give her some relevancy. Marian [sic] used to have a veil of mystery, so I appreciate her being quiet and let the music do the talking. Every time she hypes something up, it ends up being a disappointment. |

| It seems to me MC no longer posts videos of her in the studio to hype up the anticipation of a new album. If she is going to release anything new, whether new album or [compilation] again, the chances that it ever will sell anywhere near Memoirs is unlikely. I am feeling MC is apprehensive about any new release because of public scrutiny that is will not be a huge hit. |

W Magazine (102,266)

| Somehow I managed to picked up a copy of MC on the cover of W Magazine at Barnes and Nobles with an extensive interview and gorgeous photos including a 2 pages of a magazine photo shoot prep pictures with Roc and Roe. The title on the cover is "All We Want for the Holidays Is Mariah Carey." Did we talk about this W Magazine feature last November/December? There are plenty on Ebay. |

The duets album is finally upon us (102,265)
by T from USA
(Saturday 25 February 2023; 16:29) | | |
| I found this article entitled: Mariah Carey re-signs with Epic after 15 years away from eight years ago in 2015 when went back to Sony and LA Reid and interestingly enough the first project talked about was an updated greatest hits re-done in a form of a duets album. Now we know LA Reid didn't get his way back then and he ultimately was fired and she released a new studio album, but now that she's working with him again it seems like the duets, redo of her greatest hits may actually be happening in the form of the Butterfly Lounge. We already heard Close My Eyes 2020, WBT 2021, and The Roof with Brandy 2022. |

TikTok video with Kim K. (102,263)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
(Saturday 25 February 2023; 13:46) | | |
I can't stand the Kardashians. Why are they so famous in the US? They are rich, one is a model and married with Mr. Kanye West. But for me they are boring celebrities'. Pure self-promoter. I don't need a TikTok video, new music is needed. But somehow I have a feeling that there won't come a new album soon. I hope I'm wrong. But as always I'm happy to listen to her music catalogue. But there must be more hidden music, I'm still waiting for another Rarities.  |

| I'm living for the video becauseI love both Mariah and Kim. I am wondering if they're cooking something up together. Kim's shapewear brand Skims always does a lot of collaborations like she had all the OG supermodels for her "Icons" collection, then she had Megan Fox, recently she had the 2 girls from the comedic hit "White Lotus" for valentine's collection so I wonder if she'll have a "Diva's" range or if this a project of Marian's. Like why would Mariah be at Kim's house. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that chat haha. Mariah had previously subtly shaded Kardashians but recently warmed up to them starting with the AIWFCIY celebrity edition, then following Kris Jenner and posting photos with Kris. The Kardashians have always from the start been Mariah stand. I have seen countless times them playing Marian's songs on all the sister's stories including Kendall and Kylie. Kendall even recently used "Fantasy" in one of her perfume ads along with paying homage to the "Honey" pool dive scene. So I would love to know what lead to this TikTok collab. Right after this, Kim and Kylie also did the "It's a wrap" challenge. |

And the correlation between TikTok and streams is becoming less significant. Here's a great article from Billboard.
While there were certainly some indicators in 2020 that showed promise, going viral on TikTok is not a leading indicator of commercial success.
That said, the large reach of these viral TikTok sounds will undoubtedly capture an entirely new audience for MC, which benefit her catalogue overall. With that said, I'm glad she and team understand the importance of seizing the opportunity. |

Nick Cannon "co-writter/producer" (102,259)
by Robert-Anthony from United States

| Laughable. We all know that MC solely wrote the lyrics to the Barry White sample. You have to give it to Nick though. He is a comedian who likes to make people laugh and say "He said what." "Child, please." I just want him to release his new album to add to my collection. Lol. |

| Nick Cannon has commented on multiple blogs under the MC and Kim video that he co-wrote and co-produced "It's a Wrap". While it's super thirsty of him to try to get attention from the moment I fully believe him. I always thought he was heavily involved in that project because of the comical one liners similar to those on a Wild N Out episode. MC would have never wrote "It's going down like the denominator" or reference Maury. Plus UOMF and the Harvard school line. I love that album for the clever puns and get the sense he helped with Obsessed, MTF, Impossible and maybe even more. |
