About TJ from Norway: I've been a fan since she released Vision of Love in 1990. Insta: tony2909

The new album (114,527) by TJ from Norway I originally wrote the same abouts the boring so called RnB, but deleted it. So nice to see that others have the balls to say it out loud. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 21:16) this is a reply to message 114,524

The new album (114,524) by Bill from the UK If Mariah is indeed releasing new music, please, please, please for the love of God and all that is holy do something different from the usual tired, boring R&B she's been pedalling since 1997. A jazz album, a covers album, a gospel album, a concept album, just anything other than "y'all know who this is", staccato sung ballads, and guest rappers. Please. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 12:14)

Article: Gorgeous Mariah Carey looks absolutely radiant (114,523) by TJ from Norway When are we to expect the new album? I'm so ambivalent about this news. On one hand she might make something I love, but I'm so afraid it will be another disaster. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 09:22) this is a reply to message 114,520

Article: Gorgeous Mariah Carey looks absolutely radiant (114,520) by Bobby A from United States Today we found out via personal trainer Terrance Michael Boston's Instagram why MC has been looking a lot thinner and gorgeous lately. Someone is preparing for a new album for sure. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 01:28)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms new music (114,512) by TJ from Norway Sadly enough it's an album that I can't listen to. (Tuesday 1 September 2026; 22:47) this is a reply to message 114,509

Article: Mariah Carey confirms new music (114,509) by Bobby A from United States I don't think MC cares anymore about industry recognitions at this point. She just wants to release new music for the Lambs. That glow and innocence on her face when she played HFIA in the U.K. last year said it all about how much MC enjoys creating new music for us.

Glitter and Daydream (114,472) by TJ from Norway But why don't they release the same music in both formats? (Monday 24 August 2026; 18:31) this is a reply to message 114,466

Glitter and Daydream (114,466) by Tevin from USA I'm so happy that vinyls are popular again. I have a wall full of records in my apartment. I'm still waiting for my Daydream anniversary vinyl to arrive. I understand why many people love cds, but if I had to choose I'd prefer a vinyl record over a cd. (Monday 24 August 2026; 05:43)

Glitter and Daydream (114,455) by TJ from Norway Me too, and I want the Madison Square Garden concert released on the cd version. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 10:12) this is a reply to message 114,451

Glitter and Daydream (114,451) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I only buy CDs. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 02:19)

Glitter and Daydream (114,449) by TJ from Norway I don't understand why the CD releases are less attractive than the LP. Let's start a petition. (Saturday 22 August 2026; 20:59)

Eva Langley (114,390) by TJ from Norway I'm not sure if this topic has been up for a discussion earlier, but 17 weeks at number one on the Billboard top 100? I have never heard the name before today. How about you? (Thursday 13 August 2026; 17:25)

Messy message, no real topic (114,335) by TJ from Norway When I first read about the Christmas shows in the UK, I was excited like: "Manchester, here I come", but after a couple of minutes I got to think about her Christmas concert in Norway some years ago, and it is probably the same show this time as well. I had an all American joyful Christmas party experience back in 2018 and now it's time to let some other enjoy it. I've found my inner peace and realized that I just have to enjoy what have been, and be thankful for all that she did for me and the rest of the fans trough the 90's and so many years after her first album. The Beatles are still releasing old records with a lot of bonus materials, and that seems to be Mariah's plan as well, and I love it. She could have made the Daydream bonus disc more interesting (and added the concert), but it was nice to listen to the live songs. The plan for tomorrow is to listen to Madonna's latest album. I used to love her music, and she has written so many good songs. Strong lyrics. I think I got to go back to work soon. This vacation have made my brain soft. Enjoy the rest of the summer. (Thursday 30 July 2026; 21:52)

Soulless (114,291) by TJ from Norway I'm not sure if Mariah want that kind of friends. I guess no one is prepared for the life changes that celebrities goes through, but after almost 40 years it should be moments where you reflect over what kind of person you want to be. (Saturday 25 July 2026; 13:07) this is a reply to message 114,287

Soulless (114,287) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes people are the most dangerous people. They will never "help" you. A good friend is always honest and is trying to help because he/she really cares. The same with critics. Critics can help, of course they must be fair and motivating. But if something is wrong and everyone keeps applauding and smiling (mostly fake) that's dangerous. It happend to many legends. I hope Mariah has at least one person (a grown-up) who is honest and cares for her. A real friend. Not just an employee who will say yes to everything because of the money. (Friday 24 July 2026; 21:19)

Soulless (114,275) by TJ from Norway I got the same feeling. You just put it into words. Thank you. (Thursday 23 July 2026; 06:35) this is a reply to message 114,273

Soulless (114,273) by Jamie from UK I don't even think it's medicated as such I think it's something more neurological, the funny facial expressions it's like something is seriously wrong, like dementia or something along those lines. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 20:18)

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,234) by TJ from Norway At one point, it will be [too] late. We, the fans will be so old that we don't understand the technology anymore. (Sunday 19 July 2026; 07:14) this is a reply to message 114,232

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,232) by Lighty from China Maybe they are saving the whole Rotterdam concert for the 35th/40th anniversary of Daydream. Who knows? (Sunday 19 July 2026; 02:48)

Article: Mariah is giving "Daydream" fans the ultimate surprise (114,219) by TJ from Norway When they mentioned One Night, I thought it was The Rarities I was reading about. (Saturday 18 July 2026; 01:08)

I could never forget about Daydream (114,151) by TJ from Norway Five times yes. I hope she reads your message, in case she needs to do some changes. (Monday 13 July 2026; 11:04) this is a reply to message 114,149

I could never forget about Daydream (114,149) by Bill from the UK I hope the album gets a high-res remaster, as it's her only Sony album (not including Unplugged) to have not received that treatment. It should obviously have the Chick album on it with Mariah's vocals, some select remixes, some more unearthed b-sides as I'm sure there's more than what appeared on The Rarities, and to top it all off, the audio of the London leg of the Daydream Tour, for which I was an attendee. (Monday 13 July 2026; 08:07)

I could never forget about Daydream (114,150) by TJ from Norway That makes me sad. Daydream with a new remix album, with updated remixes would be nice (ala what Madonna did this year when she re-released one of her earlier work). I just hope it's not old remixes that you find on all the cd-singles from the 90's. (Monday 13 July 2026; 10:25) this is a reply to message 114,140

I could never forget about Daydream (114,140) by Lighty from China Oh Mariah replied on Instagram "I want Chick out too but let Daydream have its moment dahhlings." So that's it. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 12:41)

Daydream 30 (114,142) by TJ from Norway Since it's a year on overtime, I hope it's filled with that secret album. But Daydream 30 and Glitter 25 this autumn? Maybe Glitter is put in the freezer for the next 5 years. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 14:11) this is a reply to message 114,138

Daydream 30 (114,138) by Stacey from USA Oh my gosh, I am freaking out, lol. I love the tease MC gave us. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 10:30)

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,112) by TJ from Norway When they started claiming that, she wasn't the greatest female artist of all time. Both Nana Mouskori and Barbra Streisand (and I also guess Madonna) had sold more albums at the time, but MC was in the wind at the moment. (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 17:46) this is a reply to message 114,109

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,109) by Bobby A from United States Why doesn't the music industry recognize MC more as the greatest female artist of all time? We all know that she has definitely earned the title. I think the music industry doesn't want to recognize her as the versatile artist that she is because it would cause an uproar among Whitney Houston's fanbase and stir up the whole debate of MC being the female artist who started the trend of merging pop, R&B and hip hop together. (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 03:50)

Wedding (114,105) by TJ from Norway Do you think or know if Mariah was invited to TS wedding? (Sunday 5 July 2026; 15:27)

MC in the studio (114,086) by TJ from Norway How accurate was your crystal ball before the release of MC16? (Friday 3 July 2026; 02:12) this is a reply to message 114,074

MC in the studio (114,074) by Bobby A from United States What if MC releases next year her best first single since Honey? Her vocals on the song have that buttery tone with the vocal layering and adlibs that she has been known for. This is what I foresee in the future. MC wants to make her return to the top again. MC17 just may be the album that will get her that Robin Roberts' interview to promote the new album. (Thursday 2 July 2026; 03:24)

MC in the studio (114,082) by TJ from Norway Madonna doesn't change it, she makes it. That's the difference. (Thursday 2 July 2026; 23:08) this is a reply to message 114,080

MC in the studio (114,080) by nancy from Switzerland Mariah was more or less forced by Tommy and her label into pop music. Because they wanted the music to sound more white. She was always attached to Rnb. Doing the remixes she was a bit more free in her artistry. Eg. [Anytime you need a friend] remix, [Always be my baby] ( with Jdand Xscape ) etc. There she implemented gospel and soul and even dance. She wanted the songs to sound more Rnb. After her divorce from Tommy she could finally do what she really wanted. Butterfly was her Rnb influenced start. Many fans which liked pop and ballads better, were not so happy about it. She was pretty successful with Rnb too. In my humble opinion: I think she has to stick with what she likes. We have already more than enough pop singers in the business. What I like about Mariah is, that she doesn't hop on every trend and that makes her authentic. Many stars change genres to stay relevant. Eg Madonna, JLo etc. (Thursday 2 July 2026; 16:23)

MC in the studio (114,076) by TJ from Norway Thank you Edward. I've been saying it for years now. The boring RnB is not the way to go, and hasn't been for ages. Sadly I think she will go for the same formula again. It's actually better to make an instrumental album if she doesn't have those nodules removed. Her 2025 voice was just painful to listen to. What happened to her alternative grunge album? (Thursday 2 July 2026; 09:06) this is a reply to message 114,073

MC in the studio (114,073) by Edward from USA They told Mariah she would likely lose the whistle register, not her singing voice completely. I've even seen some voice experts say that the nodules themselves don't create the whistle register, they may have just made it easier for her to access it, that she would only have to find it again after surgery. I totally understand why she didn't want to have surgery back then. Her voice was still incredible, and I can see why she wouldn't want to risk changing something that was working. But now? Even the whistle register doesn't sound pleasing to the ear, so what's really the point? Personally, I'd rather hear her regular singing voice restored to a decent level than keep holding on to a pony that isn't really doing that one trick anymore. Even though you didn't mention it, a lot of fans like to bring up Julie Andrews as a reason Mariah was right not to have her nodules removed. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Julie's voice was damaged because of complications during surgery that wasn't intended to treat vocal nodules or improve a singer's voice. Mariah would've been having a specialized microsurgery specifically designed to remove vocal nodules while preserving vocal function. They're two completely different situations. With today's technology and experienced laryngeal surgeons, that procedure has a very good success rate. Singers like Adele and many others have had vocal fold surgery and returned to performing at a very high level. And let's be real, she's 57. That ship may have already sailed, but I still think she has one last chance to go out with a banger. Give us an amazing album with killer vocals, even if they have to be tweaked in the studio. I really don't care at this point. Whatever she's cooking up in the studio, I just hope it's not another old tired safe R&B album. If there was ever a time to surprise everyone and do something completely unexpected, it's now. R&B is clearly not the hit making machine it was in the '90s and 2000s, and I don't think she's fully accepted that yet. And please, don't make us wait another seven years. By then we'll all be comparing our cholesterol medication, and Mariah would be talking in her albums. (Wednesday 1 July 2026; 18:27)

It's a wrap (114,031) by TJ from Norway I usually just agree with everything you say, but don't you think that people who has experienced unstable lives as kids are often copying the same lifestyle them self? (Tuesday 23 June 2026; 00:52) this is a reply to message 114,028

It's a wrap (114,028) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I think Nick leaving broke her to the core." That's what I think too. And it's so sad. Mariah really thought it is a "love story" and he did "the impossible" but that clownish, egomaniac man only broke her inner heart. He and Stella are the worst. Back then I had a bad feeling when the news were telling that she will marry him after such a short time. But that he became such a nightmare, it was a bad surprise. Mariah always wanted a stable family for own (after all her experiences from childhood on) but he left her with two kids and made many babies with diffrent women. He's a shame as a man and as a person. A second divorce is one thing and hard enough, but Nick made her look like a fool. I also feel sorry for the children, they will have questions soon. I hope they can be a little support for Mariah when they are grown-up. Mariah needs a true soul, I hope one day she'll find him. She deserves happiness with a real man. But no more clowns, then it's better to be alone and find inner peace and strength again. Good friends can help too. (Sunday 21 June 2026; 14:34)

It's a wrap (114,030) by TJ from Norway I think she did a good performance in Stavanger, Norway after that. Was it all live? No. Was it only lippet? No. I enjoyed it. (Tuesday 23 June 2026; 00:47) this is a reply to message 114,029

It's a wrap (114,029) by Bobby A from United States MC's 2016 New Year's Eve disastrous performance broke her as well. It broke her so much that she wrote Portrait. MC really hasn't been the same on any stage since that awful moment. I hope she can find her groove again on stage by moving more and singing live. Wouldn't it be cool if she partnered up with Tiana Taylor to help with her stage presence prior to launching MC17? (Monday 22 June 2026; 02:26)

It's a wrap (113,972) by TJ from Norway Your last point made me laugh. It is so sad if that is the real problem with her creativity. It is time to claim those insurance money. (Sunday 14 June 2026; 11:32) this is a reply to message 113,971

It's a wrap (113,971) by Lambi from USA She's definitely still one hell of a writer though. With You proves that. And if you took away some of the production and the state of her voice, Cry, HFIA, and NII were pretty stellar work. But fair, meds absolutely affect your creative process. She still has her writing chops, but because of this seemingly declining health she's got going on, it just takes longer. Another thing I noticed is that Mariah has always said she likes to go on walks for ideas to come and marinate. It's also a way for creatives to work through a mental block. She can't even walk now. (Sunday 14 June 2026; 08:15)

MC 2017? (113,970) by TJ from Norway I think she has stagnated as a musician a long time ago. She makes what she thinks is safe, and then it fails. This old school RnB is just boring (in my opinion). Her voice has become metallic and sounds more like the chipmunks characters. It's difficult to hear what she is singing, because of the voice and the mumbling throughout some songs. I also think that her lyrics used to be more mature back in the days. It's to much swearing and brand naming in her latest work. The melodies are almost gone compared to how she sang and produced in her early days. I'm tired of the "I don't know her" attitude, and I think she has lost that fight against J.Lo (who acts much more mature, polite and classy about the whole thing). Mariah comes out as simple and bitter, acting like a spoiled child. Her interviews are not interesting because there has been absolutely nothing new for the last 10-15 years. It's like she's on repeat. She doesn't get the respect she wants and there's reasons for that. She just doesn't realise it. I believe that most people outside this board think she is an outdated diva with crazy demands and no connection with the real world (or that she stopped making music in 2005). Most of my friends can't stand her, and when I mention her name to people they are either "who is that?" or "she is horrible". Guess who is fighting for her in those discussions. That's me.

MC 2017? (113,956) by Zachariah from Croatia You don't have to love everything Mariah does to be a fan. But saying it's "so many things" without actually explaining what those things are doesn't really say much. If your feelings have changed, that's valid. I'm just curious what specifically changed for you. (Friday 12 June 2026; 11:32)

MC 2017? (113,954) by TJ from Norway I'm not a real fan. Bla bla bla. It's not only her last album. It's so many things. I didn't say that I never going to check out her next project. But it's not how it used to be. (Friday 12 June 2026; 07:23) this is a reply to message 113,946

MC 2017? (113,946) by Zachariah from Croatia You've been a fan since 1990, yet one album erased 35 years of support? Sounds less like loyalty and more like nostalgia with a volume knob. If the "true Mariah" only exists in the past, maybe you're a fan of your memories rather than the artist herself. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 18:21)
