Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,411)
by Lambi from USA

MC can be sarcastic but I genuinely believe she had no idea about those women going up to space. Which is so awesome because the average person didn't care either. They tried to present it as, "One giant step for womankind," but it flopped and backfired so badly. Nobody took any of them as serious astronauts.

I actually think Mariah was joking that she didn't know about Katy Perry. I think she was just being sarcastic.

I know exactly what you're talking, that could be partly be true on YouTube shorts but I checked, the comments are from real accounts, specifically on the video ET posted on Facebook. The comment section did pass the vibe check though. They roast her but at the same time praise her about being uninformed. Even MC knew it was questionable. They didn't really go to space.

Honestly, I think those comments are bots. I started noticing it around the time MOAIA came out. I started noticing the same negative comments on every single post or article about Mariah. I think it's called astroturfing. It's so that regular people who read the same comments over and over again start thinking they feel that way about it too. A lot of us are on autopilot half the time.
She doesn't seem drunk or high. We all know what people who are drunk or high really sound/act like. I think a lot of it is she has to speak carefully because everything can be taken out of context and made into a sound bite these days. To me she just seems super chill. Like she DGAF anymore, because she knows she has nothing left to prove.
I think the way she answered the question about Katy Perry going to space was classic Mariah. She lives in her own world and doesn't care about pop other stars. That's not even the type of music she listens to. I actually loved her response.

Daniel Moore vs. Big Jim Wright (110,404)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
This is fun. Daniel worked on In The Mix, Fall In Love At Christmas, Portrait, and Type: Dangerous, which I thought are all mid. I get what you mean though. I think Moore is more encouraging to Mariah about embracing her recent voice after seeing that Mimi session. I can hear him say, "It's okay, we can lower the key here."
Big Jim worked on Circles, Fly Like A Bird, Cry, and It's A Wrap, which are better songs, so to me he's a better match for Mariah musically.
However, Mariah's most superior collaborator will forever be Walter. I know we share this sentiment. It's like music geniuses, match made in heaven. That was God's will. All I Want For Christmas Is You, One Sweet Day, Hero, Outside, Close My Eyes, Forever, My All are unmatched. Mariah hasn't made a ballad quite the same ever since.
I truly do wish she would squash whatever unforgivable sin Walter did to her and just get on making new music.

I am loving the creativity Daniel Moore is bringing out MC more than Big Jim Wright. She seems to me that she is taking risks with her songs with Daniel Moore and being more vulnerable in her lyrics. I feel MC is going to answer a lot of questions in the track Here For It All. I feel we will get know MC better after HFIA.

For whatever reason, this is the one that every media outlet picked up and it's going insanely viral right now. It's interesting to see how the general public perceives Mariah. The comments range from: "Is she high?" "Is she drunk?" "Sedated Mariah is forever a mood," to "She sounds like she's had a few."
What's crazy is, I actually thought her recent interviews were decent, definitely better than the ones in Australia. But to the average viewer who isn't a lamb, there's no mercy; they'll just call it like they see it. I really hope she eases up on the meds. While she's not totally disoriented, it's obvious to the casual observer that something feels off.

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.

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?

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.

Just one more. Her natural body is more athletic like Cindy Crawford. She didn't have much of a waist before and now she does. Even when she was really skinny she didn't have a super defined waist. They have lipo that makes your waist more defined. If she did that it was money well spent because clothes look better (in my opinion) when a woman has an hourglass shape.
Also, around 45 jowls start appearing and they're not as easy to disappear as the lines on your forehead and between your eyebrows. She had them a few years ago and now she doesn't.
I'm really not shaming. I'm sorry if it sounds like I am.

Depends on the material. This will forever be Mariah's greatest acting stint. She's a natural comedian and so phenomenal with mimicking accents. She needs to get back to doing comedic skits. Her more serious roles could need a bit more polishing I agree, but she naturally shines in comedy. Did you see, "Allo, Christopher, you mek beard?" LMAO.

I was watching videos on YouTube and came across a clip of Mariah in the movie The Butler. So I went on a "Mariah acting" binge with her different roles and was reading some of the comments on how much people were really amazed and feeling her acting. Makes me think why couldn't she get a really good acting coach and really continue a serious acting career. If she ever decides on retiring from music, I'd love to see her in some serious roles. Can you imagine if she was to have a flourishing acting career like her music career?

That time Mariah extended Whitney a sister diva helping hand (110,287)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Great tidbit, lamb. I've always wondered why Whitney and Mariah never collaborated again. Morgan said in an interview that Mariah was saying, "Poor Whitney, boohoo," when she was publicly tripping on coke and was really struggling. Then Whitney said in an interview, "And when I record, I sing it straight," which was allegedly a jab at Mariah, since she was known for being a perfectionist in the studio.
Now that you've shared this, I can confirm that there was really no bad blood. Morgan may have taken Mariah out of context, and she was likely speaking from a place of concern. As for Whitney, she was probably just showing off her vocal prowess and comparing herself to other singers in the industry, in general.
However, part of me still believes Mariah might have kept her distance from Whitney, knowing how much drug addiction had damaged Allison and her nephew. It's something she will not be nearby. But it's comforting to know Mariah cared for her and loved her, even if it's just from a distance.

That time Mariah extended Whitney a sister diva helping hand (110,285)
by John from USA
| |
|

A little change of pace from the goings on in this site these past few days. In 2008, Whitney Houston went to perform for the president of Kazakhstan. Apparently, because of her vocal condition and her reputation in the industry at the time as an unreliable performer, she was unable to secure background singers for the gig. Her management company was also unable to obtain insurance for potential background singers for the gig. When Mariah Carey heard about this, she immediately bring it into action and offered to send three of her very best female background up singers to help Whitney. Whitney did not even have to ask. Mariah not only sent the ladies an across the world to help Whitney but she foot the bill for their insurance, travel, stay and rate. She sent Melanie, Maryanne and Teka. And y'all know vocalist don't play about sharing their background singers, haha. I couldn't find the YouTube video that originally mentioned this, but here's the link of part of that Kazakhstan concert.

No, Mariah will never quit the diva act, no, the Karadashians have not made her unsure about her age, no, a different roll out would not have made the last two single successful, no, I said a no no, like it Frenche, no, in Spanish, no. People here on this board are completely bashing Mariah and make up outrageous reasons for what no.
You are criticizing Mariah while you are all living in a Mariah fan forum creating a whole universe of excuses of why her voice is lost, her eyes are dead, who should have collaborated, how Mariah should have taken care of her voice, what affect people surrounding Mariah has, the list can go on and on.
Just imagine being Mariah living in this celebrity world and what micro cosmos that will lead to. But here we are, bashing Mariah for being out of touch, too into herself and her yes people, but we are still making a universe ourselves that really doesn't exist outside the MCArchives?
Hello? If this board can get so delusional, imagine being Mariah the last 35 years.

Please don't race bait. Jamie made a point about Mariah's career during and after her time with Tommy. He referenced "Without You" (from the Tommy era) and "With You I'm Born Again" (post-Tommy), saying Mariah carried herself with grace in both. He clearly said he can appreciate both eras. Nothing about race.
He also shared that his nana was more pleased with him being a Mariah fan than a Madonna fan (another white woman) so taking it from a race angle is a bit reaching. If he was truly insinuating racism, he would've made a comparison with a black artist, which he didn't, so let's not twist this into something it's not.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,159)
by Terna from Nigeria

You get it, and I'm glad you addressed it from this angle, I just didn't want to get into it. Part of the main problem "OG's" have is Mariah's leaning towards black music and succeeding at it too - R&B/Hiphop specifically. That's why they will always have a problem with this "New Mariah", so to speak, because that Tommy version was molded to cater to a white audience. Let's call it as it is. However, that's not the real her, never really was to begin with - check "Vision of Love", that's a singer who's main and only influence is black music, gospel, R&B and hip-hop (check the debut album, isn't she rapping on "Prisoner"). What's mind boggling about these OG fans is that new Mariah (true Mariah) has now been out so to speak, much longer (all caps) than hairbangs Mariah (Music Box and Daydream) and she has pretty much remained the same since, yet they're still hooked on the curated Tommy's vision of her and think that somehow, someday she's gonna go back to pop and that image. Smh.

"I would never lip sync" sends me right back to Howard Stern's correct assessment of Mariah Carey lip syncing at the '98 Blockbuster Awards. She was so insulted, she gaslit him and sang a line on the spot: "Baby, can you feel me, imagining I'm looking in your eyes, can you see that? Yeah, don't accuse me of not singing again. Ever."
This will forever send me because the clip consistently goes viral and everyone thinks Mariah delivered a smackdown response when in reality, she was gaslighting him the whole time. She was, in fact, lip syncing. LMAO.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,139)
by Bill from the UK
| |
|

There was a brief window of time, from the debut through to Unplugged, when Mariah was Mariah. This era is what I would deem the authentic Mariah. It was before she became heavily manicured and manufactured, and before her career was as calculated for success as during Music Box and Daydream. It was before she was married where, in Mariah's words, she married him hoping he would "lighten up" but it made him more insecure and controlling than he was beforehand. It was also before the diva persona took up residence and when she was a sincere and capable singer who said to Lorraine Kelly in 1990 "I would never lip sync", right after the Milli Vanilli scandal. Now we're lucky if we get a line sung live.
Of course nobody here wants her to be unhappy, even the OGs. But there was a spark she had in the beginning that dimmed over time. And really, can we honestly say she has been happy post-Tommy? People love to say post-1997 she was free and independent and happy, but that has never been the case. She's had a string of heartbreaks, career setbacks, and an image/creativity crisis in the decades that followed. She seemed momentarily happy and content with Nick and the arrival of the babies, but then that went south pretty quickly.
So, all we can do is love her. That can be supporting everything she does, or taking the hard decision to call out things that she perhaps shouldn't be doing.
When Mariah leaves us (I pray not for a long, long, long time), her career should be remembered for the incredible string of achievements she trail-blazed, the wonderful songs that captured a generation, a Christmas song that will endure forevermore, and being one of the greatest voices we have ever heard. Not as this caricature diva worried about lighting and splashes, being celebrated as the "Queen of shade" (that's not a good thing), wearing lingerie and lip synching to engineered vocals that cannot be replicated live.
But who am I?

Some OG's are actually cool. Sometimes you can just tell they've been around. They're quite knowledgeable and genuinely have such a deep understanding of Mariah. I actually respect their assessments.
But there's one here that just kind of says, "I'm such an OG", "we OG fans", and it's peak cringe. Reminds me of that one kid in school who still tries too hard to be cool. It's like a badge of honor they wear that nobody cares about.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,131)
by Matthew from USA

|

Every time someone on here proclaims themselves an OG, I have to take a deep breath and proceed with caution.
Mariah has stated multiple times how controlled and unhappy she was in the first several years of her career. She threw herself into her work and convinced herself this was the price she had to pay for success. Other friends like Brat even wondered "How do you live like this?" It's a little weird to see all the OG's being nostalgic for this era.
The OG's say she was a proper lady in this era - classy, dignified, pristine, graceful, and her true authentic self. They mourn her current state, which one is left to assume is the opposite of all those adjectives. I'm not here to invalidate anyone's opinion, but I can provide another perspective that Terna expressed - we both happen to be black.
In our culture Mariah is viewed as bougie and fancy. Initially we were like "Who is this white girl singing down like that? Okay Mariah, Get down with your bad self. Do your thing, girl." I don't think one culture's perspective is more important than another's, but I think we should remember to try and view the whole.
I do think Mariah would be disheartened that who she is now is causing so much sadness and heartache to the OG's. But I don't think she would go back (and no shade, but I heard the Walter song and I agree with her). I think she would sadly hand y'all the Art of Letting Go record. Go to Mimi on your contacts. Press delete. End your suffering.
If it's any consolation, the OG's can always treasure the memory of Tommy controlled Mariah, when she was being her true authentic self.

Aww this is a message board where people can voice their opinions. There was no negativity from any of my posts, we're not complaining as we are still supporting her by buying her music, as I said I like both TD and SS. I simply stating she is changed and how I personally would have liked her career to play out for the better, it doesn't mean I won't support her whatever she does or call her out for something I don't like. That is a true fan to me... being honest. You're the one calling people "silly fans" and "poison" and having a word censored. That isn't a nice trait. You're the one that should be ashamed of yourself, not us.

Re: Andrew (75,682) (110,118)

I remember reading Andrew's sentiments as a teenager (I didn't post at all, just lurked), and now that my brain is fully developed, I wanted to assess his character as an adult. I accidentally came across his sentiment (the post I'm replying to) about Martyn, a lamb who died in the bombing at Ariana's concert.
A post prior said, "I promise to try to show as much love toward the rest of you as I can and let that be his legacy in my life. I wish each and every one of you, whether we agree or disagree, whether we love the same way or do not, a long and happy life."
He was clearly a troubled man, but the loss of a lamb and someone he actually knew in real life seemed to have waken him up and hit him really hard. "I'm going to pray tonight. I haven't done that since I was a child. And I'm not sure what that means. But a prayer I will say. And if there is an afterlife, and they can see what we are doing, then let this be the change in the board that is needed." This sentiment showed a lack of a prayer life. Lack of a prayer life equates to a lack of God in your life. But it brings me a sense of peace to know that, in his moment of pain, something in him reached for prayer.
I won't disagree that he was extremely toxic, but I too would like to say a prayer for Andrew. I hope he's healed and found God today.

Martyn was a guy who I got on with. We weren't best buddies. I won't do him a disservice to make this about me. We just made contact and had a giggle and made commentary. He invited me to Manchester and I put it off. I regret it. It's not about me. His relating of why that song meant so much to him after I quizzed him about drinking along and crying to it was heartfelt and I won't do him the disservice of relating why here. It's not about me, it's about him. I'm sorry that he won't ever listen to Mariah again and take comfort in her music. I'm sorry that he was cut down in his prime, on the eve of an adventure that he sought out. I'm sorry that he no longer lives and that we will carry on. Devastated for him and him alone. I will go to the funeral, if it's an open one, which, given the numbers of people who admired him, it possibly will be. I am open if anyone wants to meet up for it but I'm happy to stand at the back and say goodbye. If not just for this board. I was jealous of him, in all honesty. When talking to him, about how positive and open to life he was. I genuinely was. YouTube him. See what an amazingly positive life he led. Death is the great leveller, isn't it? I'm going to pray tonight. I haven't done that since I was a child. And I'm not sure what that means. But a prayer I will say. And if there is an afterlife, and they can see what we are doing then let this be the change in the board that is needed. And let him read how much he was loved. And maybe that's how we should process this. We should talk to Mariah and tell her who the Martyns of the world are and how we want her to be great. He loved her. We all do. I'm not on social media. So I'm glad this board is here. It's brilliant. It's about Martyn. That's the way it should be.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,117)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
I like the analogy of Taylor to Madonna. Even though Mariah completely changed her image to something sexier in '97, it was still pretty mild (like she said) and somewhat natural. I agree completely. I was even fine with her image during the E=MC² era. She was actually hot, and homegirl knew it. Her beauty during her 30s was effortless.
It started feeling desperate when she wore lingerie on a noontime show and that ensemble on top of the piano on BET while singing "You're Mine" (on the verge of divorce). Even Patti was like, "Maybe we'll keep some for the imagination."
Truthfully, I think Nick completely perverted and changed her. She was never the same. She even did a prank call on his radio show, talking about how "porn is good" and that her husband was not so far off from the guys there. Clearly, they experimented with it. And that perverted spirit kind of lingered. She does have a teenage son now, though. I wonder if Rocky has ever expressed how embarrassing it is.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,115)
by Dove from United States

For sure we all change and for sure there will never be another artist like Mariah Carey ever again. It's just jarring sometimes because she seems like a completely different person. It's as if Taylor Swift suddenly turned into Madonna. We're all here still supporting, buying the albums, and streaming the songs.
We're still fans but this is a message board where fans share their thoughts, ideas, grief, joy, whatever. I don't feel like anyone is being disrespectful and Mariah is going to keep doing whatever she damn well pleases because she can. She's the artist. And we're all going to come back here and talk about it and reminisce about the old times.
I remember when MOAIA came out I didn't automatically love it and now it's one of my favorites. Maybe in 10 years Sugar Sweet will be my favorite MC song. Just because I'm a little prudish and uncomfortable with boobs out right now doesn't mean I'll always feel that way. Maybe when I'm an old lady and my own boobs sag like tube socks down to the floor, I'll appreciate looking at other people's perky ones on the TV more..
I'm half kidding but half not.

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,070)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|

I agree I think the hairstylist and make up artist did good. Just the styling was a bit of a mismatch. There shouldn't have been any straps on the clavicles. Because it became straps + her ginormous necklace + crazy amount of hair + overly done boobs. It was way too much. Should've removed straps, add some sort of lace material to hover her boobs, put the hair completely on the back (or maybe just one side) then a more subtle necklace piece to completely accentuate and feature her neck and clavicle area. This would've been be a more polished, clean look.
I noticed Mariah sports these extra "slutty" looks when she's in peak romance. She quite literally wore lingerie on Ellen in 2009, just a year after getting married to Nick.

She seemed more laid back and "present" last night on Jimmy Kimmel. I don't know that host, but she seemed starstruck, and honestly I can't blame her. I would have been too. Mariah didn't seem bothered by the comments about her breasts so I won't be bothered either. It's not like Britney Spears at 17 being asked about her breasts. Not the best thing to bring up in an interview but Mariah is a grown up and they're hard not to notice. (Honestly, it's the first thing I noticed.)
Sidenote: it reminded me of the Mexican music icon Juan Gabriel. Interviewers would ask him about his sexuality and he would respond, "Lo que se ve no se pregunta". (What is seen does not need to be asked.)
Anyway, I think Mariah looked really pretty. Her face looked really pretty and her body was on point. Her tan was on point. Her hair looked nice. The dress is not my favorite but I don't hate it either. Since it's more naked at the top I liked that it was longer. I love that silhouette on her. I don't love the animal print but that's just me. Apparently that's the trend again. (The Pamela Anderson/Fran Drescher in The Nanny vibes.)
My niece is starting high school this year so I took her to get her hair cut and eyebrows threaded. I've been going to this eyebrow threader for over ten years and she's very good and I trust her. I waited in the waiting area and let my niece go back there by herself. I was so surprised when she came back out with super thin (Christina Aguilera in the Dirrty video) eyebrows.
I told her the whole reason I took her there was so that she wouldn't over-pluck them like I did when I was her age. I told her if she keeps plucking them that thin, over time they won't grow back the same. She said, "Yours did." (But they didn't. I had to get the soft tap powder brows to fill in the sparse spots.) Anyway, she didn't care what I had to say and told me, "I think I can maintain the thin-brow life."
So yeah. The early 90's slightly porno look is making a comeback.
I think we all want MC to go back to the girl-next-door we initially fell in love with. But she's been Ginger for a long time now. Mary Ann is gone.

Interviewer is the same as mold Ellen and Rosie but you can tell she's just starting out in late night. She's got more of podcast interview vibe honestly and she's lowkey awkward. But to be fair, we never really get anything in-depth music wise with these mainstream late night shows. Mariah may just have to book another Genius interview because that was the most journalism someone did for her catalogue. It was done by a real lamb.

I wanted Jimmy to show up and take over. I felt bad for MC when she was really being overly flirtatious at the beginning of the interview. MC became very uncomfortable in the middle of the interview when she kept flirting with MC. Jimmy would have shown some class.

Here For It All (110,015)
by Lambi from USA

You don't think TEOM is a no skip album? I get what you mean with Butterfly being the golden standard though. It's on another level.
I want to believe HFIA is a no skip album but I already skipped T:D but I don't doubt majority of the tracks will be fire.

I understand better today the reason why just 11 tracks because of the hype statement on Record Store Day's website. The hype statement says:
"Here For It All is Mariah Carey's new forthcoming project with Gamma. This album marks the start of a bold new era for Mariah. It balances her legacy with fresh cultural relevance and pop significance."
MC hasn't had an album you can listen to without any skips since Butterfly. Here For It All is going to be that no skips album.
