The visuals and promos (109,190) by Bobby A from United States I don't know who is working with MC on her new team, but the rollout of Type Dangerous and the interviews and visuals after June 6th have been absolutely genius. Did you see what looks like the album cover that MC posted this morning? The pose and color points to a Mariah Carey album cover. I can only think of one other artist who did this exact same type of album rollout in 1991. That album was a huge sucess for the male artist because of the work his team and label did before the album's release. I see a huge promotional plan on the horizon during the next few weeks for Type Dangerous and the release week of MC16. This era is going to be bigger than TEOM because of the media buzz is so high already for MC16. Forget about those 10 tracks from 2023. We are in store for a masterpiece coming up.

Tommy Motola (109,189) by Lambi from USA Yeah, it's sad. Nick was clearly the greatest love of her life. Their love ran so deep it produced children. It's actually really sad how love unfolded for Mariah. She saved her virginity for marriage, which shows how much she genuinely values the commitment of the union and building a stable home. You can tell she always longed for something sacred and lasting, not just for herself but for her kids too. I think a slight resentment towards Nick will always hover. She gave him quite literally everything and more, upgraded his lifestyle, carried his twins, took care of him when he was sick and then he turned around and fathered kids with anyone willing, like a bottomless degenerate. In a perfect world, I wish she would've ended up with someone truly faith-based and lowkey, maybe a successful, grounded entrepreneur who doesn't crave the spotlight and actually loves and pursues Jesus.

Tommy Motola (109,179) by Bobby A from United States Fair. Maybe that was the last time she will mention Tommy in one of her songs. We have to admit that MC has never had a long lasting relationship with any of the men she had been married to or dated. I think that the holiday get together has stopped with Nick and the twins as well. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 13:34)

Hahahaha she should (109,188) by Edward from USA Mariah's been over that for a long time now. We've seen her thrive and find happiness after all of that. The horrible truth came out and she was vindicated. She's delivered some of her best work post Tommy, she's spoken her truth in her memoir, and poured it all into her music. There's really nothing left to say. Mariah's not just anyone. She's had access to the best care and support. Judging by how things went after TEOM, it's safe to say she moved on. I highly doubt 76-year-old Tommy is anywhere near her thoughts at this point. Now, if she were revealing something new, I'd understand. But rehashing the same story she's told a thousand times is tired, kind of petty to be honest. At this point, if she's said everything that needed to be said, she should take her own advice and "Shake It Off". (Sunday 8 June 2025; 21:50) this is a reply to message 109,183

Tommy Motola (109,183) by Victoria from USA Hahaha let it go. I know I'd totally let go of the fact, someone couldn't let go of me and then drove me to an emotional breakdown in front of the world, and then my brother and mother try to Britney me.. Let it go, she says. I wonder what Miss Let It Go would do if this happened to her? Twelfth to never. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 17:18)

Just enjoy the music (109,187) by Randy from USA I'm glad you brought that up. I'm scrolling through TikTok and I saw a clip of Damizza's latest interview and it was disgusting what he said about her. His timelines about Glitter and the breakdown were all wrong. Not just because of what she has stated in her book, but because I was a rabid fan through that period and lived through it. He also overstated his importance in her career. He wasn't managing her, Louise McNally was. He actually said she flew private jet to convince Em to be in 8mile and she disappeared into his bedroom. I truly believe something happened between those two but nothing as sleazy. Eric I'm tryna hold back here but kinda look the other way. Damizza is a loser douchebag poser that resembles uncooked chicken and vomited pasta. A real creep. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 21:32) this is a reply to message 109,178

Just enjoy the music (109,178) by Dave from USA Not having posted here since 2006, it's interesting to see how things have changed. Instead of focusing on chart positions and live performances, just enjoy the music. It's a fun song and isn't that deep. The same sharks are already starting to resurface (Roger Freid, Damizza) so there will be plenty of negativity for Ms. Carey to endure. There a difference between being truthful and being outright cruel. It's new music that isn't something added to the Christmas catalog. Just enjoy the moment. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 13:24)

New intel (109,186) by Bobby A from United States The reason L.A. Reid is executive producing is because MC has signed to his joint venture with Usher Mega Records label. Gamma is the distribution company. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 20:14) this is a reply to message 109,130

New intel (109,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here are a few new info we have: - The album is almost done - There will be collabs (please Lord some A list ones) - There's a "very good" duet with A .Paak - She is currently sequencing the track list - LA Reid asked to record one more song (deja vu TEOM) - There are visuals (Type Dangerous MV) - TD will be directed by Joseph Kahn. I hope they use his full potential. Joseph did some incredible work with Taylor. (Friday 6 June 2025; 21:25)

Promo and MV (109,185) by Bobby A from United States I am predicting a #30 or above Hot 100 debut only because there is not video or remix yet. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 19:47) this is a reply to message 109,181

Promo and MV (109,181) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Infinity peaked at No. 82 and I Don't peaked at No. 89 respectively at the Billboard Hot 100. After 2017, Mariah did not chart on the Hot 100 except for that All I Want For Christmas. So let's hope Type Dangerous could chart higher than those two songs, at least top 15 like #Beautiful. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 14:09)

Type immature (109,184) by Bill from the UK I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard the brand name dropping is actually sponsored. Not just on this song, but others she has recorded too. And not just Mariah, apparently several artists engage in this. I can see it being true, or else she's just bragging about her financial status. Either way, I wouldn't categorise it as a "strong pen game" song like I would Outside, Butterfly, Languishing, Petals, Close My Eyes etc. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 19:31) this is a reply to message 109,176

Type immature (109,176) by Lee from UK I actually really like the melody of Type Dangerous but the lyrics feel tired. Why is Mariah name dropping designer labels in her songs at this point in her career. To me, this is immature and lazy song writing. I hope the rest of MC16 gives us lyrics with more substance.There is no way Mariah can perform this song live, we all know she struggles with breath control and these lyrics are delivered too quickly for Mariah to perform live. The only way she'll manage it is if she has backing singers deliver every other line as in Make it Happen. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 10:23)

Tommy Motola (109,165) by Stacey from USA You and Bill beat me to the punchline. I hear castle, sing sing, and evil king and I'm like really Mariah, it's been 30 years. Let it go, lol. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 21:38)

Promo and MV (109,182) by Bobby A from United States MC has the following television and festival commitments scheduled. June 9th - BET Awards June 15th - Capital Summertime Ball - UK June 27th - One Heart One Voice release day August 2nd - Brighton Pride Festival - UK August 15th - Heritage Festival - UK September 13th - The Town Festival - Brazil September 17th - Amazonia Para Sempre - Brazil September 20th - iHeart Music Festival (Sunday 8 June 2025; 14:14) this is a reply to message 109,162

Promo and MV (109,162) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do we know if Mariah is scheduled to be on any tv appearances and what her promo schedule looks like? I know she'll be at the BETs but any other appearance? It looks like radio is playing a quite a bit, is this something we've seen with her last few releases or is this new? For music video, what do you guys think will be her vision. Excited for her working with Joseph so I hope there's some story line. I wonder if she'll do a parody of her previous relationships or her previous music video leads because the lyrics hint at both or I might be overthinking it. 1) The one about sing sing and evil king is of course Tommy. 2) The motorcycle man had a Yen for me. Is this a hint at Tanaka who's part Japanese and had a thing for motorcycles or is it her male lead in Sweetheart or even Miguel in #B. 3) The computer nerd has to be TMB unless I'm missing something haha. 4) The man in construction moving pounds through customs. Is it James Packer or Wentworth Miller (WBT/Prison Break because his character was a structural engineer in think in PB). Some people say the moving pounds through customs could be Tanaka too because apparently he was detained in Brazil. I haven't heard about this before though 5) "Said we'd be together, but you didn't stay forever. Now I guess it's just whatever 'til the twelfth of never." This is probably Nick because Mariah was super in love and thought it's forever and "twelfth of never" probably because he has 12 kids So I wonder if she'll do a parody like that which would be hilarious. Or if it'll be more touching and looking at the camera hahah just joking. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 18:34)

Promo and MV (109,172) by Shezz from Pk I hope she's performing TD at BET and no Mimi medley though I would not mind an It's Like That to TD transition like the MC16 teaser clip. As for the different guys in the song - either they should all be fictional or all past relationships. Would be weird for her to talk about someone from her old music video (motor cycle guy) but then computer boy toy also sounds like the TMB guy. Some say that's Nick though the forever guy sounds more like him or that could be Tanaka as well. I also thought Tommy references now are a bit old and tired but maybe she did it because it made the verse more interesting and dramatic. I wonder what her insta pic with the guys is about... bet maybe? I think her MV video will definitely have a bunch of these guys in the video. She hinted at that in one of her interviews. They asked her about the guys and she said "you'll have to watch the video". I wonder if they have a remix lined up already or are they waiting to see how it performs. I'd be over the moon if the song just charts. What was her last single to chart? I don't think any of the Caution singles charted. Nor did I Don't and Infinity. Was #Beauituful her last new song to chart? None of the remixes charted. She does not have the fan base for her songs to have a decent debut, at best it could work its way into top 40. Which would be big for her. TD is good but it's no Believe. Her best shot at the charts is a pop song with mass appeal. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 05:22)

Promo and MV (109,180) by Bobby A from United States Let's hope MC16 has some strong features and pop/R&B ballads. I don't know why I feel that One Heart One Voice will be included on MC16 so that it can serve as the 2nd single. The chart sucess of One Heart One Voice will determine when MC16 is released.

Damizza (109,175) by Jamie from UK Wow I just saw a post from Damizza calling out Mariah's behaviour during her breakdown in 2001. Basically saying she attacked him and said he should have left her to die like Marilyn. And putting in to question the type of person she is. Is this new? This is why she feels she can't trust anyone I guess as they all eventually tell a story on them. There is probably some truths to it but you don't do that (Sunday 8 June 2025; 08:32)

TD (109,174) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya what sounds similar to be is how Dua starts singing the first verse and how Mariah does it too but then of course the first verse eventually goes in a different direction but ya I was like where did I hear this before haha.

7 years (109,169) by Lambi from USA Thank you, Mara, I really appreciate it, lamb. And absolutely, feel free to talk about anything here. A lot of the lambs have evolved mentally, we're way past just nose job and ensemble discussions. People are so entitled they assume everything on the internet need to be catered to them. But the truth is, many of us are interested in deeper things now, especially because, like you said, Mariah's in a whole different league. She's in that legendary category with MJ, Prince, and Whitney. And we all know how they exited life. With your shout out, I can finally say that people appreciate my deep dives organically, not because I created fake accounts to hype myself up, like some out-of-touch folks have insinuated here. (Who even has time to fake likes?) But yeah, I've seen those clips too. Smear campaigns are real, it's a thing of the mafia. And with this major new deal Mariah just signed, I can't help but wonder is what's the catch? (Sunday 8 June 2025; 02:34) this is a reply to message 109,070

7 years (109,070) by Mara from United States I'm so excited for midnight. I can't believe we are finally getting a new studio album. We've been saying MC16 for a long time now and I don't think any of us expected this roll out. Everyone was all wrapped up in Mimi's 20th anniversary and then thinking about the Barbara [sic] song with Walter that is so exciting, let alone this. Mariah looks fierce in these promo shots. Especially the red lip and darker hair shot. I wonder when they were taken. Someone said this was recorded last June which would be before her tremendous loss. I am excited to hear Anderson's influence on this track and the album. He has some interesting and funky songs and I'm excited to hear where Mariah goes with this sound. I love the drum part of the song right before the clip cuts out. It sounds like a sample of something but I can't place which one. Looking forward to reading everyone's thoughts tomorrow. On another note, Lambi I tend to agree with you and worry about Mariah and what they do to people of her status especially when it involves money. I noticed a lot of M's past with a clownish blond rapper has surfaced a bit online again and Damizza is back at it again talking about things around that very hard time for all of us especially Mariah. Who knows the real truth with all that. I just pray for her daily and to keep her safe and healthy and for her children as well. This industry is not all that people think it is with the glitz and glamour I'm sure. It's got to suck a lot out of you. Don't mean to make this a downer message. Cannot wait for new music and hear where she is at creativity at the moment. (Friday 6 June 2025; 04:25)

Tommy Motola (109,160) by Edward from USA I agree. Mariah's already given us some iconic songs that dealt with her trauma from that marriage, "Side Effects" being the most powerful and raw in my opinion. At this point, still throwing shade at Tommy feels unnecessary. She already went through her metamorphosis with "Butterfly", and found a renewed IDGAF freedom with TEOM. Lyrics that hint at Tanaka or Nick make more sense, they reflect more recent chapters in her life. But revisiting Tommy, decades later, feels a bit tired. She's 56, he's 76, it's time to "Shake It Off". Or who knows, maybe she's just waiting for Tommy to clock out permanently so she can drop a song called "Dirty Coffin", reminiscing about how "important" his presence was in launching her career. Poetic closure, right? (Saturday 7 June 2025; 17:12)

Article: Mariah Carey makes a "Dangerous" comeback (109,167) by Travis from USA As much as I love her and she's always been my all time favorite artist. It's unlikely that this new single is going to go anywhere because she's considered a legacy artist now and she hasn't had a regular #1 hit since "Touch My Body" in 2008. All of the lambs have to truly come together to make even a top 40 hit happen, however, I feel that most lambs are always taking the time to be too critical instead of focusing on supporting her. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 23:18)

No.1 in global iTunes (109,166) by jaker20 from US Type Dangerous is actually out-streaming Big Energy by a slight bit, so that's a great start. It's all about the long run. But these debut numbers matter, it signals to industry people and possible collaborators that her name alone can pull these numbers. What happens after comes down to promo and being in the right place at the right time. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 22:04) this is a reply to message 109,148

No.1 in global iTunes (109,148) by Shezz from Pk Don't forget GTFO hit number one on iTunes as well but failed to chart. Streaming counts the most and her numbers there are still pretty low I read on another site. Though that in no way means they can't pick up. Right now the song is only hot with the lambs. It could eventually spread to the masses. So many songs creep their way up the charts as they gain a wider audience. First week numbers aren't everything. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 13:16)
