About Jamie from UK:

Mariah's version (103,100) by Jamie from UK I'd say never rule her out. Yes her voice is what it was but at times with got hints of it back in better form. I think it's her own doing as in not looking after herself, drinking and smoking. Maybe if she was to pull out all the stops. Clean up and get some serious vocal coaching and medical expertise I'd like to think we could get better quality vocals. Maybe now she's focusing, she's lost a lot of weight recently so who knows she might be realising if she doesn't do something now then it's over.

Mariah's version (103,091) by Robert-Anthony from United States Taylor Swift just recently released Speak Now Taylor's Version. She is definitely a business woman. I wish MC would re-record more of her most famous songs and her favorites that didn't get much love on the radio or albums. She could do it with the right producer. (Friday 28 July 2023; 16:01)

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,087) by Jamie from UK Yes Dreamlover is an amazing track. I love the whole vibe of it. And the Def Club Mix is on fire definitely her best dance remix (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:59) this is a reply to message 103,084

Happy 30th anniversary to Dreamlover (103,084) by MC1989 from Spain Though I always liked the song, and the stunningly beautiful young and carefree Curlyriah in the video, it was never one of my favourite tracks, but It sure grew on me over the years. I love the sample from The Emotions' Blind Alley, combined with Mariah's voice at her peak, and the single cover which I still have and still is one of my favourite pictures from her. The Def Club Mix was and still is one of her best remixes in my opinion. I remember hearing the song in the radio here in Spain even until the early 00's. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:19)

Charmbracelet tour (103,085) by Jamie from UK Just watching the Charmbracelet tour, I was lucky enough to go to this twice. I remember how great her voice was and watching it back now it's amazing how relaxed she is, considering it wasn't long after the breakdown she has more confidence there than I think she does now, her voice was in good shape and she appeared relaxed and in control. Maybe she was compliant with her meds then having been newly diagnosed who knows but hopefully she can get back to this. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 21:46)

Bye Bryan (103,018) by Jamie from UK My mistake, I must have missed it. I'd defo say they are still together. (Monday 17 July 2023; 14:53) this is a reply to message 103,017

Bye Bryan (103,017) by Carlos from Brazil What are you saying? He is still following Mariah. (Monday 17 July 2023; 13:02)

Bye Bryan (103,015) by Jamie from UK She is still following him on Instagram, but he's not following her. Tommy Mottola follows Mariah but she doesn't follow him. I'm not sure if they have split or not, is there any evidence for this? (Monday 17 July 2023; 10:58) this is a reply to message 103,013

Bye Bryan (103,013) by Brandon from USA So it's very obvious that MC and Bryan are no longer together. Who do [you] think would be a good match for our queen? (Monday 17 July 2023; 01:15)

Latest Instagram (103,006) by Jamie from UK Sorry to hear about your situation. Just focus on you, your feelings matter. (Thursday 13 July 2023; 12:10) this is a reply to message 103,005

Latest Instagram (103,005) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is looking great like the early months of the E=MC2 era. I am glad that she is focusing on herself and her children. I am trying to get that point in my life and stop worrying about my family disowning me and people not liking me. (Thursday 13 July 2023; 11:43)

Languishing (103,003) by Jamie from UK I love [Portrait]. Very [Languishing] and Looking In (Thursday 13 July 2023; 08:31) this is a reply to message 103,001

Languishing (103,001) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just listened [to] Potrait. Could Potrait be MC's follow-up Languishing? They definitely sound similar in melody and theme. (Wednesday 12 July 2023; 23:54)

Latest Instagram (103,002) by Jamie from UK Wow Mariah is looking in great shape on her latest post, looks like she’s lost a ton of weight. Maybe something is coming soon after all. (Thursday 13 July 2023; 07:49)

MB30 (102,915) by Jamie from UK Yes I think she has found memories of Music Box era as do I. (Monday 19 June 2023; 11:17) this is a reply to message 102,914

MB30 (102,914) by The Real Deal from USA I disagree. MC always speaks fondly of the Dreamlover and Anytime You Need A Friend videos in post 2000s interviews. She even released an alternative video version of Anytime You Need A Friend a few years back. In addition, she sang and posted an acapella of Everything Fades Away backstage with singer JoJo. The only thing she has dismissed is Hero but says she appreciates it now. (Monday 19 June 2023; 03:46)

MB30 (102,899) by Jamie from UK How can you not love Now That I Know and I've Been Thinking About You? Classic 90's pop with amazing vocals. I loved the MC and C&C uptempo collaborations they brought a happy vibe to early Mariah albums, shame it only lasted two. I'd love Mariah to do an upbeat, radio friendly song now. Even if she takes a step back from the music and just inputs on the lyrics. Sometimes it's hard to create magic when you've been writing songs for so long, I'd just love a good solid song/album. (Saturday 17 June 2023; 12:03) this is a reply to message 102,897

MB30 (102,897) by TJ from Norway I love that album, too. Not a big fan of the two uptempos (track number 5 and 8?), but the rest is just perfect. I've been driving to work singing "Hero" every day for a month now, trying to face another day ( kidding). I love my work. (Friday 16 June 2023; 15:58)

MB30 (102,892) by Jamie from UK Hopefully they will invest in this as it was Music Box that made her an international star and was such a successful album. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 16:03) this is a reply to message 102,890

MB30 (102,890) by Robert-Anthony from United States Sony Legacy is just not willing to invest in MC and her catalogue anymore. Anniversary and greatest hits collections that have a lot of money invested in them are when artist or band have just had a couple of albums prior that were huge sellers for the label. Me I Am Mariah and Caution were huge disappointments for Island/Def Jam and Epic. I bet MC invested a lot of her money in the vinyl pressing of the $160.00 Butterfly boxset that was sold on her website. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 13:53)

MB30 (102,887) by Jamie from UK Oh I do hope so. My favourite album. I can't believe it's been 30 years. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 03:24) this is a reply to message 102,881

MB30 (102,881) by Bill from the UK Apparently Mariah is dropping some surprises for Music Box's 30th anniversary (August 31st). Could it be we finally, finally get the Music Box Tour footage on DVD/Blu-ray quality and/or audio? The scrapped AYNAF video? More outtakes not included on The Rarities? I hope it doesn't get botched like the Butterfly anniversary. (Tuesday 13 June 2023; 22:28)

Circles remix (102,802) by Jamie from UK Check it out it's great. Good summer vibes. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 18:46) this is a reply to message 102,783

Circles remix (102,783) by Jamie from UK I've just seen online there is supposed to be a Circles deep house remix released soon by DJ Eliemusic. I saw it on MariahCareyAu on Instagram. (Monday 29 May 2023; 14:07)

Mariah's body guard (102,795) by Jamie from UK Seems Mariah is back with her old body guard after a video emerged of her last night. (Wednesday 31 May 2023; 10:30)

Circles remix (102,783) by Jamie from UK I've just seen online there is supposed to be a Circles deep house remix released soon by DJ Eliemusic. I saw it on MariahCareyAu on Instagram. (Monday 29 May 2023; 14:07)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,740) by Jamie from UK Yes it's quite costly. I have a a Japanese 5" CD of I Don't Wanna Cry. (Wednesday 17 May 2023; 11:13) this is a reply to message 102,739

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,739) by MC1989 from Spain I Don't Wanna Cry. Simply beautiful. But it's also Mariah's most expensive single on the internet, and one of the few 90's singles I don't have due to that. (Wednesday 17 May 2023; 09:42)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,736) by Jamie from UK I remember thinking where have the curls gone. Guess it was a just a change of the styles and times, it's strange now when she has her hair curly now I don't think it suits her but I loved it so much back in the day. (Monday 15 May 2023; 18:54) this is a reply to message 102,731

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,731) by TJ from Norway I remember that I did not like that haircut. I was obsessed by the look on the Hero picture. (Monday 15 May 2023; 11:04)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,735) by Jamie from UK Haha I love your indecisiveness Bill. I agree too many to choose from. (Monday 15 May 2023; 18:49) this is a reply to message 102,730

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,730) by Bill from the UK So many to choose and so many are great. My faves: 1. Vision of Love 2. Can't Let Go 3. Dreamlover 4. Without You 5. Anytime You Need a Friend 6. All I Want for Christmas Is You 7. Fantasy 8. Open Arms 9. Always Be My Baby 10. Always Be My Baby UK exclusive cover Of those ten, my absolute best is probably Without You. Maybe Can't Let Go. And Make It Happen. (Monday 15 May 2023; 03:26)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,728) by Jamie from UK Yes first time straight hair vibes. (Monday 15 May 2023; 00:39) this is a reply to message 102,727

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,727) by BFF from United States I love the image they used for the "Anytime You Need a Friend" single. I wish that song had performed better on the Hot 100. Great song that deserved a better peak charting position. (Sunday 14 May 2023; 22:53)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,723) by Jamie from UK Mine has to be Dreamlover, I love the way she looks on that cover. (Sunday 14 May 2023; 01:55) this is a reply to message 102,719

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,719) by Robert-Anthony from United States My favorite 90s singles cover is Never Forget You/Without You. I love this cover because of the beige/almond background and MC's innocent pose. What is your favorite 90s singles cover? (Saturday 13 May 2023; 14:15)

New low? (102,714) by Jamie from UK Maybe she had a cold or viral infection, as during [One sweet day] that's is one serious decline in vocal ability, surely if that was the true state of her voice she wouldn't be arranging to sing one of her biggest hits with Boys to Men [Boyz II Men]. Yes her voice has declined over the years but to not be able to sing at all, I don't believe it's all due to her current vocals something else is at play here like illness. (Thursday 11 May 2023; 19:51) this is a reply to message 102,712

New low? (102,712) by Terna from Nigeria Yes I noticed that too. She kinda "pulls" or "lifts" so to speak even when talking and ends up flat, or breaking. I'm not happy about this at all and I'm worried. (Thursday 11 May 2023; 17:23)

One positive (102,707) by Jamie from UK Seems strange she chose to showcase Till the End of Time after all this time. Wonder if there's some meaning behind it? (Wednesday 10 May 2023; 22:01) this is a reply to message 102,702

One positive (102,702) by Tevin from USA One positive thing: the intro of Till the End of Time, into Camouflage into VOL was genius. Good job Mariah. (Tuesday 9 May 2023; 17:28)

The whistle or the complete voice? (102,673) by Jamie from UK I'd say operate as the whistle is only 1% of a song (Sunday 7 May 2023; 18:08) this is a reply to message 102,670

The whistle or the complete voice? (102,670) by TheWind from England If it's true that Mariah has nodules on her vocals that have damaged her voice, but allow her to facilitate the whistle register, what would you rather? Mariah to get surgery and lose the whistle register, but return to an overall healthy voice, or maintain the whistle register and continue to work around the nodules? This is a purely speculative post, as I don't know that she has nodules etc, and I have no clue what's wrong with her voice. If it is true, I'd much rather she lip whistle notes for the rest of her career and sing everything in between in a healthy voice. (Sunday 7 May 2023; 13:53)

What is your initial fan story? (102,634) by Jamie from UK I was watching the chart show on TV in the UK when Vision of Love came on, I was mesmerised by her voice. I remember seeing Love Takes Time and Can't Let Go on that same show too. I don't remember hearing Someday, Emotions and Make it Happen. I was a big Madonna fan at that point and my wall was covered in posters, I began to build up a collection of Mariah posters which were sparse in the UK in the early days, gradually she took over and Madonna was gone lol. I used to record Mariah songs off the radio as I was only 11 at the time so didn't have my own disposable money to buy CD's. I loved being a Mariah fan back then as no one had heard of her, and I'd say she's an American soul singer. A few years later in 93 my mate got Music Box on CD and made me a copy on cassette which I still have. I was truly hooked by now. Hence why Music Box is my favourite album. A few months later I got a part time job and started to build my collection. I'd go into Manchester every chance I got, the music shops there had a huge singles section and was able to pick up the majority of her singles to date including USA imports and the odd Australian import. I went to record fairs and found even more rare CD's and records. Every chance I got I'd buy something. I miss collecting CD's and getting every version I could it's a shame times have changed.

What is your initial fan story? (102,618) by Robert-Anthony from United States What fascinated you about MC at any era that compelled you to become a lifetime fan? For me, it was Love Takes Time. Hearing this gem constantly on the radio made me know I was going to be a fan for life. (Monday 24 April 2023; 01:02)
