Webmaster (106,822) by Randy from USA Eric, can you give me the specs you want pics to be so they are not blurry. Thanks. Specs: 50x50 pixels, jpg, gif or png. (Monday 1 July 2024; 23:26)

Jessie Ware Lightning (106,821) by Carlos from Brazil I don't know if you guys are familiar with this UK singer called Jessie Ware. She has a song called "Lightning" and it's absolutely beautiful. I think Mariah would eat it up. It's R&B but very modern, chic, elegant and soulful. Give it a listen and imagine Mariah doing it. (Monday 1 July 2024; 14:07)

Honey (106,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany Enjoy your holiday Jamie. Did you watch the English football game yesterday? Very exciting at they end. I love when Mariah is playing "outside" on any location. It always lifts the mood. Honey is perfect for the summer. (Monday 1 July 2024; 10:19) this is a reply to message 106,819

Honey (106,819) by Jamie from UK Just off on holiday/vacation I'm sat in the airport and Mariah Honey is playing out loud. Great start to my day. Have a good one everyone. (Monday 1 July 2024; 06:24)

Rainbow 25 (106,818) by Billy from Greece A bit late on the topic but I couldn't be happier with this release. I was dreaming of a Rainbow expanded edition for years and had written about it here. I'm hooked on Rainbow's End. I absolutely love it. I love the extra material, the VH1 performances, the fact that There for Me has found a home, the acapella moments. I feel Rainbow truly shines as a whole this way. (Sunday 30 June 2024; 17:22)

Butterfly Tour / Honolulu (106,817) by Billy from Greece A few weeks ago, one of the YouTube channels that uploads professional footage from the Butterfly Tour uploaded a video of Mariah in Honolulu receiving flowers on stage, the ones that she wore around her neck. I can't find it anymore. Has anyone seen it? Have they deleted it? Too bad. (Sunday 30 June 2024; 17:20)

New remixes (106,816) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Thriller type of album." I would be happy even with a "Bad type" of album. I miss MJ's music by the way. "Remember the time" was playing on the radio. But back to Mariah, I do feel we will get some surprises next time on the album. Jazz, Disco, Dance pop maybe something for everyone. The new remixes are on repeat.

New remixes (106,814) by Robert-Anthony from United States I sure do hope so. Her creativity has been on a creative high lately. I believe the Lambs won't be disappointed about what MC has been cooking in the studio. We know she has had 6 years to give us a Thriller type of album. Lol, Edward. The BET Awards are this Sunday. Maybe MC will join Muni Long on stage for the Made For Me remix. (Friday 28 June 2024; 20:09)

New remixes (106,813) by Shezz from Pk The "Remixes era" has been pretty good. I can't wait for the main course. The time that she's taken, I feel she's cooked us quite a feast. (Friday 28 June 2024; 18:37)

New remixes (106,812) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, they are all great. Perfect for the hot summer. "Made for me" grew on me too. Classic RnB at its best. The Rainbow remix is on fire. (Friday 28 June 2024; 10:36)

New remixes (106,809) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I just want to say that I absolutely love the new remixes of Portrait and Rainbow's End. I can't stop playing them over and over again. Also, Made For Me and several gems on Rainbow 25th Anniversary. I'm so excited and happy to be enjoying the new music. Regards to all. (Thursday 27 June 2024; 23:14)

Mariah is hip hop (106,811) by Robert-Anthony from United States Doug E. Fresh talks about MC at 3:35. I didn't want you to watch his whole interview. Lol. (Friday 28 June 2024; 04:13) this is a reply to message 106,810

Mariah is hip hop (106,810) by Robert-Anthony from United States Irresistable (West Side Connection) played today on my workout playlist. I had to play it a second time because I really enjoyed it for first time 22 years later. To be honest, I would always skip it because I just did not like the collaboration. However, now I understand why Doug E. Fresh said this is the reason why Mariah is hip hop. (Friday 28 June 2024; 01:14)

Tony Moran (106,808) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just realized that Tony Moran of The Latin Rascals (Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood) remixed DFAU. I wonder what made MC commission him to do the remix for DFAU. DFAU is MC's only official double vinyl white cover 12 inch. According Wikipedia, his remixography is impressive. He and Albert Cabrera remixed Duran Duran's Notorious too. It's funny that I am mentioning Tony Moran because I have been on a nonstop mission this summer to visit all of my 12 inch dance vinyl records lately thanks to the Portrait (Hopeful Child Remix). CeCe Peniston's and ABC's dance remixes were hot back in day. Anyway, longer dance remixes make my workouts more enjoyable. Lol. I am rambling now. Bye. (Wednesday 26 June 2024; 21:57)

Sip my tea (106,807) by C from United States I'm currently at this music-related conference. I spoke with this woman who is a biographer/historian of women musicians, so of course I bring up Mariah. She tells me that she is voting member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction committee. She told me about the woman who gave an impassioned speech on why Mariah should be inducted and the people cried. Then there is a music journalist who is here. I walk up to him and say, "Hey, Alan. I'm a huge Mariah Carey fan. In 1997 you told the Baltimore Sun this about Mariah..." Shocked, he laughs, and we chat about Mariah and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - he, too, is a voting member.

Rap features (106,804) by Zachariah from Croatia I hope she will and I hope the new album will be Glitter 2 sounds. Disco vibe. I just love that album and I think she is going to revamp it. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 00:15)

Rap features (106,797) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think MC is done with having rappers on her albums? I don't know how she could be taken seriously on her next album with rap features at 55 years old. Duets and vocal features is the way she should go for MC16. If she goes with some rap features, critics are not going to find it a step in the right direction at her age. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 22:04)

Impressive debut (106,803) by Brad from USA I have seen interviews and articles where she does credit him for correct decisions regarding her debut and certainly concerning doing a Christmas album so early in her career. So yes, she has credited him properly for those decisions that were well made. (Monday 24 June 2024; 20:54) this is a reply to message 106,802

Impressive debut (106,802) by Robert-Anthony from United States This article demonstrates that Tommy had to defend MC because when he discovered her he knew MC's talent was going to be in the same league as [Barbra] Streisand and Whitney Houston. His tone in the article is that of a renowned manager and recording company president who saw MC during the Crustella era in [desperate] need of a new manager and team. We can't deny he knew how to make MC into a platinum selling recording artist from the beginning. His expertise to guide and launch her debut album and assemble the best team players made Mariah Carey the album an impressive debut. A debut album like Mariah Carey has never happened since 1990. No other female artist since 1990 has ever had a debut album like Mariah Carey. Despite how MC feels about Tommy Mottola and his treatment of her, I wonder does MC think about how impressive her debut was? She really never talks anymore about her debut era or Ben Marguiles.

Rap features (106,801) by Matthew from USA It depends on the rap. On MIAM, Nas does a rap feature on Dedicated, where she reminisces about falling in love with rap music, which was age appropriate. There are also more philosophical rappers like Lauryn Hill or Floetry that would work. I also don't think anyone could be mad if Busta Rhymes or Bone Thugs come through for their 3rd collabs - those rappers are aging with Mariah so I don't think that would be a big deal. It might be an issue if she tries to get with a rapper that is much younger, but maybe not. After all, she did have a song with Gunna on Caution that was cute. Ultimately, I think hip-hop and Mariah go back like babies and pacifiers. She is one of the pioneers of "hip-pop". So it would be more outrageous if she abandoned rap altogether. I don't think she will, especially since rap-singing is in right now and it's not too vocally demanding. I'd be more surprised if she decided to do a whole album of difficult ballads. So I think rap features and "Rapriah" are here to stay. (Monday 24 June 2024; 04:47) this is a reply to message 106,797

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,800) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We need Taylor to retire soon like Riri haha. Some of Taylor's songs that went to #1 were there for just 1 week due to intense push and dropped off. No longevity. (Monday 24 June 2024; 04:42) this is a reply to message 106,794

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,794) by Shezz from Pk The way Taylor Swift is going, her momentum and her die hard fan base (that buys half a dozen version of her albums and singles with the slightest variations) she seems to be a hot contender to take over MC's number 1s tally (now at 12). With the chart rules as they are now, it is not as important for the entire general audience to love a song for it to go to number 1. Swifties alone are enough to make her new songs debut at n1 - which used to be such a big feat in the 90s - case in point Fortnight. It's not a great song. 3-4 more albums and she will sadly cross MC's tally and she churns out an album a year.MC's number 1s are a great accomplishment no matter who finds them forgettable and who finds them memorable. I hope she gets to keep it. She loves the title and as a long time fan I love it too. Previously Rihanna was hot on her heels but then she decided to go an extended hiatus. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 16:00)

Rap features (106,799) by Libra Lamb from USA I believe she can still pull it off. Ageism is definitely a real issue in the music industry. We all know MC makes her own rules and doesn't care what anyone thinks. I hope she continues to do just that and that's my only expectation for MC16.

#1 Relevance, new album (106,798) by Robert-Anthony from United States Randy, MC16 is going to determine if MC will continue to record albums or just have Vegas residences and Christmas shows for the rest of her singing career. It will be interesting to see how everything rolls out after the album announcement. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 22:13) this is a reply to message 106,792

#1 Relevance, new album (106,792) by Randy from USA Let me hop on in here. I have read in a magazine that only a true fan would know the difference between Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker. Also, when I used to argue with Whitney Houston stans in the late 90s/early 00s that yes Whitney is consistent on stage but MC has more number 1s, their argument would be most of MCs are forgotten. If you can find a non-fan that knows all of the words to I Don't Wanna Cry or TGIFY I'd be shocked. I'm from the last generation and I'm also a chart nerd. We pushed a lot of number ones by buying physical singles to albums we already had. The airplay was minimal on her song before the single was released. Hell, we do it now. How many times have I come on here to see people begging us to stay up all night streaming something. Now here's where I completely contradict what I just said. I have had a horrible school year and am leaving my present school. So I've been playing death songs on my smart board. You know, One Sweet Day, Crossroads by Bone Thugs. Well, Bye Bye was playing and the office clerk who is half my age ran into my room and started singing it. I was floored. I said what do you know about this song. She said it's among her favorites. Mine too even [though] this board constantly decimates it because it didn't go to number one. That's an argument for another day. I guess my point is there is truth to both sides of the argument. Songs are over pushed by fans (come on you all Loverboy made it to #2) but then there are factors that make a song more relevant than a chart position shows (come on you all Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun stalled at #2). New album. It's so funny because I feel like everyone wants MC to create SZA, HER and Muni Long vibes. I am thinking [Barbra] Streisand, Liza Minelli, Diana Ross. I don't wanna be ageist but Mariah is 55 years old and you all want her on trends with the hottest producers? I do think MC needs to release an album because her fan base grew up on albums. Cardi B can release singles for years continuously promising she's working on an album. Mariah can't do that, hopping on remixes late is kinda silly. But whatever. Carey-on.
