Save The Day (110,383) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I almost forgot about the "pandemic" song. I always end the rarities with "Lullaby of Birdland". I love Lauryn Hill but somehow the sample doesn't work so well on "Save the day". But the jazz song is wonderful, it's so good.

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,382) by BFF from United States
Billboard was actually speculating that Mariah is a possible contender for the Video Vanguard award this year. It would make sense to see Mariah win something given she has a new album coming out and has never received a VMA award before.

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,381) by T from USA
It's great news indeed. And it's for current work not a lifetime achievement award or something. Let's keep voting everyday.

New interviews (110,380) by Will from England
I thought that was evident by her singing the title track for the cover reveal. I also love the level of unbotheredness she is giving recently, and the revelation that KP went up to space. I'm certain the album title was originally "Here For It All... Unless You're Mi". And also, I don't think there was ever an intention for there to be a video for SS outside of the lyric video we got. They filmed them singing along to the track, that's all they're gonna do for it.

Save The Day (110,379) by Edward from USA
"Save The Day" is a stain on "The Rarities", it's a mess. It shouldn't have been anything remotely resembling a single.

Save the Day (110,378) by Dove from United States
I don't listen to it that often. The concept was good but it sounds a little choppy to me. If it's next on my shuffled playlist, I'll listen to it, but I don't actively look for it.

Save the Day (110,377) by Bill from the UK
Never. She should've used Out Here On My Own as the lead single.

Save the Day (110,376) by Giovanni from USA
I'm curious if any of you still listen to this song? I love when Mariah writes with James Wright and I hope we get some more songs with JD. "Save the Day" is classic MC.

Type Dangerous jazz version (110,375) by Giovanni from USA
I was just wondering if anyone else could hear a jazz version of "Type Dangerous"? It would definitely work and I so just MC would do some jazz tracks in the future. When I heard "Lullaby of Birdland" it left me wanting a jazz album. I know a lot of fans have been wanting a jazz or gospel album. I love gospel so I'm excited to hear the gospel song on "Here for it all".

Eric B. is President (110,374) by Dove from United States
I had never heard that song before, but I just did, and I can see the vision now. Listening to EBIP makes me like Type: Dangerous more. I wish T:D had more "boom" like EBIP. I can't explain it. I would like it more if the backing track/instrumental was more like the original.

New interviews (110,373) by Dove from United States
She seems so chill. I hadn't watched interviews of her in a while, I had forgotten how much I like her. I've missed her. Thank you for posting.

I don't know any of those interviewers but I appreciate how respectful they all were.

New interviews (110,372) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I watched the iHeart interview, so there's a song called "Here for it all" at the end of the album? Could be a ballad. And the "Anderson .Paak song". But the interview still hadn't much news about the music. Christmas as a topic in August? To see 97 Mariah and Jamie was sweet. That smile back then could have melt an iceberg. Are the other interviews are better? Thanks for the links, I will check it.

Hi Eric. Wondering if I added the links to the interviews wrong or were there too many links? Should I try again?

[Webmaster: Maybe you should tell us what the link is, and not only giving us the URLs.]

You can only cast ten votes per category now so Mariah's [Type Dangerous] is going to need all the lambs' help she can get.

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,365) by T from USA
One Heart One Voice was released in between the two songs and it shows how much Mariah benefits when she works with classic songwriters and producers. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it clearly is a quality production. Maybe Mariah should've used the budget of TD and sponsored a video with Ariana and Barbra Streisand. Get some of the fans back on her side with a great song.

Article: Mariah left "so mad" after suffering wardrobe malfunction (110,364) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Aha. For the next interview I'm hoping for new infos about the music and the album. It would be nice.

TikTok / reels (110,363) by TJ from Norway
I know. At least. And all those remixes. I think my ranking would be something like:
1. Vision of Love (what a voice, memories)
2. Dreamlover (the video, the remixes)
3. Fantasy (doesn't sound dated)
4. Honey (the new Mariah)
5. #Beautiful (summer vibes)
6. Emotions (unplugged version)
7. Loverboy (nice remixes)
8. It's like That (cool video)
9. Through the Rain (nice melody)
10. Heartbreaker (just another Dreamlover)
11. Obsessed (I don't know)
12. Touch my Body (not my cup of tea)
13. Type Dangerous (forgettable)
14. With You? (don't remember the song)

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,362) by Lambi from USA
"Not comeback material" is correct. Both singles could've just been album cuts by Mariah's standards. Some of the non-singles from Caution felt stronger and would've made better singles if released now. These last two songs feel like they're just "good enough" not to be scrapped, but they're definitely close.

It makes me wonder if Mariah is still in touch with the great songwriters of today, or if she really is just out of creative juice. Or has the overall quality of songwriters declined as well? Her top 3 collaborators, Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal, and Johntá Austin, are nowhere to be found. I wonder what's going on. Are they having royalty issues? Or did Mariah simply want a clean slate with fresh writers?

Whatever she's doing, it's not working. Beyoncé's albums may be mid, but she chooses the right singles. Texas Hold 'Em and Cuff It were undeniable bangers and carried their entire eras, not in album sales but at least the tours. She knows how to curate a group of talented songwriters. Mariah is simply missing the mark.

Happy to be proven wrong, though. Perhaps the hurt from Pat's death produced something directly from above. I know that when Mariah clings to God during catastrophic times, the melodies that arise are out of this world. Maybe the Clark Sisters gospel record is that moment. Maybe the balladeer Mariah has actually returned, because "Portrait" from Caution was not it. Still somewhat hopeful for this era, but I believe your assessments are pretty accurate. Mariah even said Sugar Sweet is everyone's favorite, so that signals to me that this was it. Everything is downhill from here unless she pulls a banger from under her sleeve quickly and blows everyone away.

Revisting Memoirs (110,361) by Bobby A from United States
Obsessed was Memoirs' biggest single in the U.S. It was released about 90 days before Memoirs was released on September 28th. Obsessed peaked at #7 on the Hot 100 and #12 on the R&B and Hip Hop Songs charts. Also, it peaked at number #1 on two dance charts. Despite the success of Obsessed, Memoirs struggled to have other singles that had the same success. I see one common factor that happened with Memoirs being mirrored with Here For It All. Obsessed was released too early before Memoirs' released date. We are seeing the same thing happening with Here For It All. Two singles have been released and we are still about 45 days away from Here For It All's released date. This long waiting period is just not good for launching a new Mariah Carey album. It seems like Gamma has been testing singles without a true first single to carry the excitement to drop Here For It All in a reasonable amount of time. I just hope the 3rd single is the one that will have people talking and VJ's spinning when the album drops on 9.26. I am hoping that a Bryson Tiller collaboration is the next single.

I was just watching a reels clip on Instagram of this guy Adrian163vinyl trying to rank Mariahs lead singles. Dreamlover landed on the 10th spot. So wrong in my opinion. A difficult job, but number 10? No way.
