I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,358) by Zachariah from Croatia Regarding how is it doing overseas - it doesn't. Middle and Eastern Europe general public still think that worth of mentioning is only one song and that is All I Want For Christmas Is You and they think that she only has that one as a hit. Of course, Europe Lambs are not included here. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 18:04) this is a reply to message 110,351

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,351) by Randy from USA I've been really busy lately but I've been reading comments in the background. I feel as tho Mariah and Gamma made a big gamble with all this promotion and putting out these two singles. They're not bad lead singles like You're Mine Eternal. It's just that they're not undeniable hits like Touch My Body, You Don't Know What To Do (could've been). Neither of these said hit on first listen to me. They're cute songs but not comeback material. And now they may be heading for a flop. Caution debuted at #5 and at the rate this train is going I don't even see that. They have three options. 1. Release something fire, enough of this muddled opaque blah music. But that will mean we have heard a quarter of the album. And I'll be pissed if that Barbara [sic] track makes the album. 2. Push the album back which will piss the hardcore fans off. 3. Release the album now and see how people feel about it and maybe do a re-release if it flops and this time release something fire that's undeniable to the ear. This roll out is horrible because it's almost as if they believed one of those songs was a hit and would carry interest all the way to 9/26. Did they not take the MIAMTEC singles and Caution singles and their chart performance into consideration? Oh and I'm curious to know how Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet are doing overseas. Artists always complain Americans are fickle. How's her Japanese fans reacting to the music? (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 13:46)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,357) by T from USA I think Here For It All will span the last five years. That's the All she's talking about because a lot has happened since the pandemic. I assume it will sound quite varied and less cohesive than Caution which took a very short time to write and record. But that can be a good thing too because some of these songs have been baking for a while and they might be really perfect. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 17:00) this is a reply to message 110,354

Sticking to MC's music only (110,354) by BFF from United States I hope that's not the case. It seems like the album is a compilation of songs from different studio sessions during the 2020-2025 period. The collaboration with the Clark Sister was first reported back in 2021, for example. We've heard about her having an album's worth of songs in multiple interviews over the last few years, so I would assume that she could deliver some bonus tracks on the alternate editions. *fingers crossed* (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 16:14)

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,356) by Lee from USA Oh, boy. More double standards. RRHOF inductees are either stinking up the Billboard charts, or not releasing anything new. Yet every MC song has to be #1. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 16:18) this is a reply to message 110,351

Sticking to MC's music only (110,355) by BFF from United States I think I understand now why the label went with the September 26 release date. It's the 30th anniversary of the "Daydream" album's release. I wonder if Mariah has something planned to celebrate Daydream's 30th anniversary as well.

Sticking to MC's music only (110,349) by Bobby A from United States I believe that the Bryson Tiller collaboration is on the way through a deluxe edition or Target Exclusive CD yielding 2-3 additional songs with a possible JD/BMC collaboration. The Bryson Tiller collaboration could be the third single and The Clark Sisters collaboration could act as the fourth single. Either way, I feel there is going to be a twist with the 11-song standard tracklisting when it is released in early September. Gamma has to do something to ensure HFIA is a huge seller the first week. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 13:06)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,353) by ADAM from USA Am I the only one who thinks we're only getting 11-tracks and that she's only selling the different album photos? I am shocked that she's not released a full album in 7 years and she's only put forth 11 songs in that span. I think her voice is really that broken. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 15:46)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,352) by BFF from United States I agree, Bobby. With all of the different "editions" of the album (D2C, Amazon Exclusive, and Standard editions), surely we will get some alternate track listings or bonus tracks. Otherwise, people are just buying to collect the alternate album covers - which, to me, is not worth spending the extra money. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 14:52)

Sugar Sweet (110,350) by Lainsky from Philippines PS. IMHO, I believe Mariah can sing the song alone. While she does not need Kehlani and Shenseea to make it sound better, she needs them to reach audiences beyond her lambs. Just saying. Have a nice day, everyone. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 13:25)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,340) by Edward from USA Mariah has complained that by the time "Caution" dropped, her label had already released three singles, so with an 11-track album, putting out that many songs beforehand doesn't really make much sense. That's nearly a third of the album already out before the full release. The same thing is happening with Ed Sheeran, his album comes out September 12, and he's already released three singles since April, none of which are charting on the Hot 100 right now, but he usually have many extra tracks. Mariah should drop the video for "Sugar Sweet" this Friday as a final push for the song. If it still doesn't gain traction, then I think she would be better off holding back and just unveiling the full "Here For It All" tracklist in two weeks. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 18:00)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,348) by Bobby A from United States I am the same OG, but with an alter ego. Lol. You will be surprised what is out there already on the web if you just search rumored tracklisting for Here For It All. People are going onto BMI's and ASCAP's website finding song titles that have been registered. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 12:56) this is a reply to message 110,342

Sugar Sweet, TD, and HFIA (110,347) by Lainsky from Philippines It's official: the song has grown on me. I have to admit that I didn't like it as much as "Type Dangerous" at first. However, after listening to it multiple times and hearing it on my favorite local radio station almost every day, I've started to love it. While it's not quite up to the quality of her music and artistry from the '90s and 2000s, I still believe in her talent. I hope the song can break into the top 5 of the main chart. While it may seem unlikely for it to reach No. 1, it's not impossible. If not this single, how about the third or fourth one? We can still dream, right? (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 12:03)

Sugar Sweet video (110,346) by Sascha from Germany I love the song and its multiple hooks. I also adore the features and think they add a lot. Sugar Sweet is now taking off at Urban radio. Let's wait and see how it does there. It might build a nice audience there and maybe a video will come when that has happened. There will be no big hit most probably but maybe a nice little one.

Sugar Sweet video (110,345) by Dove from United States I don't think a music video is going to help Sugar Sweet. It's a cute song but I don't think it's single material. How I determine that is, "If I heard this song on the radio, would I listen to it or change the station?" It's like an Underneath the Stars kind of song. It works in a sequence with other songs but not by itself. If they do a video it should just be a low budget "fun" video. But I feel like the time for that has already passed. The song is too simple to stand on its own. It needed a video. It could have been anything. A kid's birthday party on a boat. Anything happy and sunny. I would choose the best song off the album and put my money and power behind that one. And release it closer to the release of the album. Like a couple of weeks before. (I hope it wasn't Type Dangerous but I'm afraid it probably was.) I don't think it's going to chart on the mainstream charts though. Regardless of how good the song and video is. For that you have to appeal to the young kids because they're the ones that listen to songs on repeat and determine what's "in". The Ariana duets would have helped like 10 years ago but she's already on her way out. (Unless she makes some kind of comeback.) Taylor Swift has maintained (and grown) her fanbase but I'm not sure exactly how she did it. A part of it is probably because she comes across as a generous and fair person. And the music is good too. She knows how to capture a moment/feeling. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 08:21)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,331) by Bobby A from United States I have some song titles tea, but I don't want to spoil what is to come on Here For It All. MC's 16th studio album is shaping up to become a huge seller because of The Clark Sisters collaboration. If you think Never Would Have Made It was a huge radio hit for Marvin Sapp in 2007, wait until MC and The Clark Sisters drop their song on 9.26. The song title is reminisce of The Clark Sisters' fans favorite songs by them like Endow Me, The Center Of My Joy, and Name It Claim It. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 02:30)

Sticking to MC's music only (110,337) by BFF from United States This sounds very promising. I really want to hear these ballads she's mentioned, and I also want to hear more of the stuff she wrote with Anderson. Mariah needs to put something out to rebuild the momentum for the album. "Type Dangerous" built things up a bit, but "Sugar Sweet" has already faded away. Maybe they should've made the album release date sooner than September? (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 13:14)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,336) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah only looks small and slim in social media. Go look at Jimmy Kimmel interview last week. That's how she really looks like without filter and editor. In my opinion she looks good with all that weight and chubbiness. I dont't know why she doesn't want to embrace that.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,332) by Lambi from USA In the land of Kardashians and waist trainers, of course she's had some work done on her body. Her hips look like they were enhanced as well, but it's Hollywood, and this is the norm. I would say Mariah never really overdid anything, except for the boobs. She knew Nick loved them, so she consistently made them bigger and flaunted them for revenge. Stella famously said, "She just got her boobs done," but she didn't blow up her lips like Christina or Carrie Underwood, and she didn't do anything extreme like a Michael Jackson nose job. She always kind of harmonized with her natural beauty. At most, she may have had a non-invasive injection on the sides of her button nose to make it more subtle. She also has perfectly crafted veneers and a tiny bit of Botox here and there, but she still very much has a face that's hers. I can't remember where I saw it, but it was revealed that Mariah follows an all-blue food diet to preserve her youth. Her beautician said she has an extensive beauty regimen that involves getting three facials every week. With her money, she has access to top-tier beauty products. She really takes beauty seriously. I remember that right after she gave birth, she said, "We gotta stay pretty," while getting ready to take pictures with her newborns. She has always been invested in beauty, and she reaps what she sows. Mariah deserves all the amazing results because she has always put in the effort. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 02:36)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,323) by Edward from USA The things I see posted on this site daily make me want to scream into a pillow, but I hold back, because I just know some of you would turn around and say I'm being dramatic from watching too many Latin soap operas. Some of you speak with so much confidence, yet you're loud and wrong, and all I can do is sit there in stunned silence. The urge to jump in and reprimand a few of you is very real, but instead, I just let a couple of dramatic tears fall and softly whisper "Cry." like it's the final scene of "Marimar", my favorite "Telenovela" from the 90s. You all really need to stop shaming Mariah. Only a handful of men, maybe ten, tops, have ever had the honor of touching her boobs, and not a single one of them was a surgeon. A woman? Maybe, but I doubt it. We've all known for decades that the iconic lift her boobs have experienced comes from industrial-strength push-up bras she's been rocking since the Rainbow era. This isn't breaking news, duh. As for her face, it moves, just not in public. She's not risking getting caught in a bad angle, so she keeps it locked in diva mode anytime there's a camera around. Remember Mariah is multiracial, that little hint of Asian in her eyes is probably some distant Latin ancestor or something, we do have a little Asian ancestry in Latin America too. In short, she hasn't had any work done. That's just what jealousy looks like from the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 18:25)
