Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,327)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
I don't think it's a potential number one hit. Also it's a wonderful song. But the charts are so "strange" nowadays. What does the UK fans think? I think "NII" had the most hit potential. Too bad it wasn't released or pushed more.

Do you think "My Love" will go to No. 1 in the UK, at least, if she releases it?

"Dreamlover" was very strong as a single. It's so Mariah at its best. It has such a good vibe. And how I love the remix. I just can't get over the 90ies. Lol.

What a great post. I have the same thought about all the mentioned things. You described it perfectly. With the "current personality and her performance level", that's a good point too. I wonder what the answer could be about the current personality and performances? I don't know the answer but I would say jazz, blues and retro soul suits better than hip-hop or modern RnB songs for a legend like Mariah nowadays. "My love" is a highlight on HFIA and such a beautiful song and cover.

Type Dangerous and why it failed (113,315)
by jaker20 from US

Mariah is not in the stage of her career where she should be singing this type of songs anymore. She is not cool and she can't vibe with the beat. It's a great cool song, and if it's released by Ariana or Taylor, it would be a hit. The hype was there until she performed it on BET Awards, and the public saw that she can barely walk, and so the song tanked. It's a performance song, and she needs help to walk.
There is a disconnect between her and what lambs want her to do. If she wants to release a modern song like Type Dangerous, maybe it's better if they release a really great video and then hide her from the public.
It's the same situation with Sugar Sweet. If that song is released by someone else, it would be a hit because it's a great song. But the supposed video of it, it's the same touching her hair and hips moves. Well I have no words how bad it is. How do you craft a great song and throw it away like that is the current state of Mariah's career.
So Mariah 2026 problem is not the song, and not even her voice. The problem is her, she doesn't know how to perform these types of songs anymore. She cannot be directed, not choreographed. I think it's time Mariah and lambs accept the fact that she should only release songs that matches her current personality and her performance level.
It's sad when lambs post here that they listen to AI Mariah. They are imagining a Mariah of the good old days on her current songs which is some mental acrobatics. That's just how bad her situation is, and just a bad way to listen to music in general. They'd rather listen to Mariah sounding like a chipmunk (frankly that's how AI sounds to me in general), that is not her, than accept her current state. Equally sadder is suggesting a nodules operations, another lamb fanfic that will somehow turn back the clock.
For me My Love is her current state. It does not fit on the radio nor the streaming hits right now, but its authentic to her current voice and personality. And I'm sure she can at least perform that kind of song live. Think 70s Carpenters, understated, standard, mature, dare I say: basic.
That's her in 2026 and the next few years. She's not a popstar anymore nor a vocal diva anymore and the first step is accepting it.
Also, to add: everyone was excited about Nothing Is Impossible, then all the excitement went away after she performed it at the Olympics. Her performance almost always backfires on her own songs.
That's what happened with #Beautiful, and that's the state of her new songs over the past 15 years if you think about it. At least on her non-Christmas songs. Thankfully the legacy of those classics is so strong she herself can't ruin them anymore when she performs them.

I had a dream (113,288)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
I had dream last night that MC would be back on top again in 2028. Here is what I dreamed about.
1. MC releases her 17th album entitled, I'm Back (In Arms Your Again) - JD/BMC/Crystal Johnson/Johnta Austin collaboration 2. She collaborates again with Walter A., Babyface, JD, Skillrex, and some top producers and songwriters of the last 10 years. 3. Critics rave that MC's voice is back. Some say her Butterfly tone is back to stay. Her whistle range is "Emotions" strong again. 4. The first single makes it to number one in less than 5 weeks. 5. Many Lambs say the Bruno Mars, Sza, Toni Braxton, and Fred Again collaborations are their favorites. 6. MC embarks on a 30-city summer/fall tour in the U.S. The first show is at Proctors Theater. The last show is at Madison Square Garden. 7. The second single is a Pop R&B ballad collaboration with Walter A. and Babyface that is reminisce of Love Takes Time and Everytime I Close my Eyes. 8. One year later after the release of a deluxe version, eight Grammy nominations, numerous of television performances, a Rock and Hall of Fame Inductee, and the 2029 Superbowl Half-time show performer, MC finally wins multiple Grammy awards including Album of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammys. 9. MC sits down with Oprah for a May TV sweeps interview about her remarkable career and the rollercoaster ride of 2028 and 2029. 10. MC finally falls in love again with a wealthy NFL coach.

HFIA breakdown (113,294)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
I also love "Breakdown" since it has been released in 97. I even love the rap on it. A perfect RnB song with a cool video. Was the song about Derek Jeter just like "My all" and "The roof"? I forgot it. Anyway I feel very nostalgic with it too.

HFIA breakdown (113,290)
by Lainsky from Philippines
| |
|
|
It seems Mariah has shelved HFIA and the deluxe edition idea. Typically, I listen to her latest album almost every day for the next six months to a year after purchasing it. However, I realized that it's only been five months since HFIA was released, and I haven't played it much in the past month or this month. Don't get me wrong. I like HFIA, but I guess I love playing her 90s' album more lately. In fact, I've been playing "Breakdown" more than any of her other songs. I loved it back then, and I love it even more now, including the music video. Lambs of my age can't help but feel nostalgic these days.

That rare flower that is Mariah's voice (113,275)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
The funny thing is most people don't like her trademark "the whistle". I loved it on her debut and "Emotions". There are fantastic songs like "Dreamlover", "Bliss" and "Bringin' on the heartbreak" with her epic whistle. But it was clearly overused and not needed in many other songs. Her deeper tone has the real magic. But I would be afraid of surgery, if it's not needed, because of health issues. I guess there's always a risk, no matter how good a doctor is. I would first try to loose the bad habits and relax.

The prime music era (113,233)

|

"What happened to music and true artistry?" I ask myself the same almost every day. Yes, those were the days. I'm very lucky to have witnessed the golden era of music and movies. And I will never forget how good it was. "When you believe" is outstanding and will always sound good.

The prime music era (113,230)
by Tijl from Belgium

I just arrived at home and put on the old YouTube. The algoritme decided to kick off with "When You Believe". Bloody hell. What happened to music and true artistry? That song and video, uniting two of the greatest singers ever was in 1998 and yet still delivers. We might never experience this again in our lifetime and life goes on but boy, those were the days.

Nodules (113,232)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
I hope not. Could it be because of the meds and private sorrow? I also don't think it's because of champagne. Just here and there a glass won't destroy everything (of course it's not good for a singer). Unless you drink every day and with high-proof alcohol, that would be very bad for the voice and health. Whitney Houston is really a sad example with many others, how a beautiful, extremely talented human has "everything" and throws it away because of drugs. I just want to see Mariah happy and healthy again. But I fear, she's too lonely. And no diamond is a good friend in real life. All the luxury is nothing compared to have real friends, family or a true partner. I wish Mariah to find that finally. But with so much fame, it must be very hard. Even for a "normal" one it's not easy.

Sometimes I think that it could be drugs. WH did drugs and got this metallic voice, Dionne Warwick the same. Mariah got the metallic voice, but we don't know why. I doubt that it's the champagne. I know a lot of professional singers that drink, but got their voices intact.

More youthful hairstyle please (113,221)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
Yes, since the last two years I often have to think of Marilyn Monroe and Mariah. We all know Mariah adores Marilyn. MM was a diva, sex symbol, most famous woman on earth (besides with the queen, same age haha), plus she had the hardest childhood and was such a beautiful, unhappy woman. I don't want to see Mariah so unhappy in the future. Mariah was always a diva, but it has become a bit too much. I mean the image. It has become hard to see/recognize Mariah the person, the singer behind that big image. I guess it's a shield. But I often miss the natural, carefree Mariah. And it's true, elegance ages everyone. If you want to look younger or youthful, take casual clothes. Everyone looks older with extravaganza and jewelry. It's normal. Non-fans always say the word diva when it comes to Mariah. Personally, I don't like that this is the first thought they have about her. She is so much more and it makes me sad, that it seems only fans/lambs know and remember it.

More youthful hairstyle please (113,219)
by Lee from UK
| |
|
|
I have a feeling that Mariah has purposefully been trying to look like a caricature of a "diva" for a while. This doll-like image seems to have taken over. I think this is how she wants to be remembered in the future. We all have that one image that comes to mind of famous figures like Marilyn Monroe. I think Mariah has been trying to curate a mind picture that we associate with her when people say "Mariah Carey". To be honest, it is clever as the only image I have of Whitney is her being a sweaty mess on stage. I have always thought that the flat hair on top really does Mariah no favours especially when paired with the extra long extensions; it really does age her. I would be interested to know what picture comes to your mind's eye when people say "Mariah Carey" and I wonder how different it would be to the casual listener's mental image.

"I say bring back Stella." This is a joke right? No way, please. This woman was a nightmare (even when she made one or two good business choices at the beginning). She almost destroyed Mariah. I'm still trying to forget that this woman and her daughter or relatives were connected to Mariah. Dark times were these (Yoda speaks).

I couldn't agree more. I have been wanting Mariah to write with Diane Warren since 2013. They could definitely come up with something good. As for a new manager I say bring back Stella. She would fix everything and put Mariah back on top where she belongs.

"The critics from the press are pretty good, I've read only one that was not so nice. But most articles are very positive and nice."
Really? My newsfeed shows 33 negative articles about Mariah's performance and only a handful positive ones. And I agree with most of them. The performance was boring as hell.

Performance (113,202)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|

Absolutely. Olivia Dean is wonderful. I discovered her because of the TV commercials. I thought finally one new artist who [doesn't] look vulgar and trashy. What a wonder. A beautiful, classy woman who seems very nice. I even got a bit of young Mariah vibes. Of course not because of the voice, but because of her natural look and vibe during the early 90ies. Just like you described it.
Mariah's voice still has magic. I just wish to see her happy again. Her little smile at the end seemed sad in [Milano]. I thought of "Looking in". I hope I'm wrong and she was just nervous. Someone wrote Mariah did a blues version with [Volare]. I think she did her own version (like with all covers). And I think she sounded really good. The tone problems were because of the TV channel broadcast. On the internet the sound was clear.

Performance (113,187)
by Lara from Middle East
| |
|

Olivia Dean, the Grammy winner for best new artist, has been grinding her way for 10 years. Among all new artists, I loved her. Also as most of new artists I don't think she's a vocal powerhouse, but she delivers. Which brings me to my next point: look at her Grammy performance, she's no dancer but she does move, her stylist is always on point, she has that "makes you smile" energy when performing and THAT was Mariah needs. Her voice might not be here anymore but there's a 1000 other ways to compensate other than bling bling accessories and designers custom gowns you're too afraid to break when moving. Mariah my girl you lost your peak voice but 10% of your voice puts you already above most current singers so don't let that kill your confidence.

I believe only fans saw the sadness. Because we "know" her. Although I liked Mariah's appearance and the medley of the two songs, I "felt" the sadness too. Or is it just an imagination? And it was the pure stage fright? The critics from the press are pretty good, I've read only one that was not so nice. But most articles are very positive and nice.

Article: Mariah Carey nails Italian rendition of "Volare" (113,181)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
I really enjoyed "Volare". It had the vibes from old Hollywood with Mariah's unique softly tone. She looked beautiful, yes also very tense but with so many people watching no wonder. I think the sound seemed sometimes a bit metal, I'm not so into technics, maybe it comes from the big stadium. (I noticed it with Laura Pausini too.) It was wonderful to see Mariah on prime time TV live in Milano. I hope she can enjoy beautiful Italy and stay maybe for one or two days before flying back. Italy is always good for a trip: the food, the friendly people, the culture, the magical landscape. I had so many beautiful holidays there.

Grammy, songwriting, Adam Lambert, etc (113,168)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|

I searched the music on YouTube from Mr. Bad Bunny so that I know who is trendy right now. And didn't miss anything. I find the music and videos awful. I'm really too old for this luckily. I grew up with 2pac's "I ain't mad at cha", "Changes", "California love" and all the cool RnB and Hip-Hop back then, like Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, Boyz II Men, Shai, Angie Stone, Maxwell, Kenny Lattimore, Sade and so on. And with the King of Pop and Whitney of course. And all the legends that were still alive like George Michael. Yes, we also had the cringy bubblegum pop, Eurodance plus boybands back in the 90ies, but it was so much fun. "Macarena" and "Scatman" couldn't happen in today's music scene. Today's music seems depressing and interchangeable. Grunge was also depressing, but Nirvana was on another league than Bad Bunny. There's a reason why Mariah likes "Smells like teen spirit". She once said it on a show, I guess it was on MTV during the late 90ies or in the 00's. So I hope she releases her grunge album this year. Then Rarities part 2 and then a jazz album. I'm greedy when it comes to Mariah.

Grammy, songwriting, Adam Lambert, etc (113,157)
by jaker20 from US
| |
|

I thought Adam Lambert did a great rendition of Can't Let Go. I love how he twisted the lyrics a bit and his vocals are solid. He's one of the few who gave Mariah song justice. I also loved Teddy Swims and Kesha.
But Lambert said something on the red carpet interview. He said "Mariah is great because she knows how to write for her voice, and that's not easy" (or something to that effect), which I thought was very true, and sweet way to recognize Mariah's talents, which we all know to be true.
However, in a way that's also Mariah's weakness, because she only knows how to write for her voice, and once her voice declined, she can't capture that same songwriting sentiments. That's because she didn't try to write for other artists earlier. She should have.
Lastly, it's very telling how Mariah's fanbase don't know any of these artists. Imagine not knowing Bad Bunny who only happens to be the biggest male artist right now. Absolutely embarrassing (unless, which is what I suspect, these lambs' political affiliations to be completely opposite to Mariah's but that's another topic).
Now, do you have to know these new artists? No. But I can't trust an ignorant lamb's opinion on what Mariah should or shouldn't do in the current music landscape or anything for that matter.

It's been a long time I have been this excited by a performance by Mariah, I'm also nervous and anxious. It will be prerecorded, for sure, but that is common for big cermonies like this.

I know Adam Lambert and Kesha. But Big Bunny is not popular and known here. Not at all. Maybe by youngsters, but I'm a millennial so I have another taste than the charts. Do you know Jonathan Jeremiah? He's a British musician, his latest record is great. A combination with pop and soul and a bit of songwriter. He may not be so famous, but he's a great artist with a good voice. "Older" people don't know all the rappers and chart people. But everyone knows Mariah around the world. She's one of the very few real superstars that are still here. From a better time. I hope she reminds the people what a real superstar is today in Milano. I'm sure she will rock.

Absolutely embarrassing (unless, which is what I suspect, these lambs' political affiliations to be completely opposite to Mariah's but that's another topic).
Now, do you have to know these new artists? No. But I can't trust an ignorant lamb's opinion on what Mariah should or shouldn't do in the current music landscape or anything for that matter.

Wow, finally good news I was waiting for. I love the [Olympics] and Mariah. So the combination is wonderful. I have a very good feeling for tomorrow. NII is perfect for it. I'm very excited for "Volare". Mariah and Italian another great combination. I can't wait.

Grammys (113,132)
by MusicfanJ from Germany

Yup. It [doesn't] get better anymore. Except for Lady Gaga I don't even know all the people there. Lol. I've ever heard of this "Bunny man". But I believe next year it will be even worse. The same with so many award ceremonies. They used to be good, but it's a long time ago. The last 10 years it only went down. More circus and political correctness indeed. In the 80ies and 90ies there was only a bit circus, a lot of entertaining but also artists that were real artists. The best from the best in every genre. Those were the days.

Grammys (113,131)
by Giovanni from USA

It's been a while since I've paid attention to the Grammys and boy did I make a mistake tuning in. It was probably the worst Grammy awards ever. It got way too political and the performances were awful. Bad Bunny winning album of the year was the shocker of the night for me. I really thought Gaga was going to take it. And Trevor Noah my guy you have no talent.

MusicCares performances (113,123)

The "neutral expression" was funny. I thought the same. I hope her music ears don't hurt from the noise. But I do believe they all did their best. A Mariah tribute is the hardest thing to do.

MusicCares performances (113,116)
by Lainsky from Philippines

I couldn't agree more. The performance was such a mess (I think) that I could barely recognize the song. Mariah, who was caught on camera, appeared to be disapproving but maintained a neutral expression out of respect. Did she ever mention in an interview before that she doesn't like other artists singing her songs? I'm curious how she has dealt with that situation.

I find it funny. They tried so hard, but yes more like a better karaoke. But hey, it's Mariah. Her own songs will never sound good by others. I couldn't listen to the [My all] cover. What was that? Lol. The grunge part was cool. Charlie Puth wasn't so bad. Nice try. Kesha was really funny. Hmm I hope Mariah enjoyed though. Her speech was fantastic and sweet.

MusicCares performances (113,118)

Eekkk I saw some snippets and what is this mess? Why do they always hire the wrong people to do Mariah tributes? It all sounded like they came for a Mariah karaoke night. Poor Mariah was fighting for her life not to leave haha. Also I was excited for a Charlie Puth rendition, why did he choose ISB? Of all the incredible songs Mariah has written herself he chose a song that not only wasn't an important part of her career but more importantly it wasn't written by her. I honestly feel bad that a musical titan like Mariah always ends up with these messy tributes.

She looks beautiful. The same with Halle Berry's latest appearance. Beautiful women.

Billboard speech (113,106)
by Giovanni from USA

She really did look straight out of 2005. I've never been a fan of the long hair but she rocks it well. I also loved the ensemble it was sexy. Mariah at 56 is still that girl. How many women can look that good at her age. She looks like she's watching her weight too cause she looks fit. Curvy but not fat. She was giving Emancipation Mariah at Billboard.

The very one thing Mariah did from the beginning was being true to herself, despite what Tommy and Sony had done for her at the beginning of her career, which helped her to establish and emerge into her true self. It's wonderful to read a summary of her achievements like this. Now, let's release the deluxe edition of "HFIA" with new songs.
