Dating (104,981)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
Princes Mariah would suit her. I think a true partner must not be a Hollywood man in general, but a grown-up man who stands with both feet on the ground and isn't lurking for fame and money. No one needs such company. I just hope she finds a true soul who loves her as the human she is and not only the superstar.

Dating (104,962)

I think that falling in love is such an important part of life that it will happen to Mariah whenever she is ready and it will become a priority if the love feels right. I think she can do both things simultaneously like every one of us. I just want her next man to be an A+ Hollywood star, a powerful business man, or someone with royal lineage. PD/A have always wanted to call her Princess Mariah.

Kardashian Konnection (104,957)
by MusicfanJ from Germany

|

For me the Kardashions will always be cheap no matter how much money they have and how many "business" speeches they are giving. I can't stand them. The same with J.Lo. I hope they are only connected because of the kids. That's what I believe, but who knows. I'm waiting for that jazz album.

Kardashian Konnection (104,955)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|
|
Speaking of Kardashian Konnection (intentional spelling change), I said this before and I'll say it again, Mariah has a decent music manager (didn't she leave with the RocNation manager?) but for her other publicity stuff Kris Jenner works magic. She literally turned a family with no real talent to a multi billion dollar empire, imagine what she can do with Mariah. Yes Kanye helped them get to the A list, but Mariah is already A+ list celeb, she just needs the proper exposure. Kardashians are no longer trashy with their content. They are very well curated and have done a lot of work to shift their image from reality stars to business moguls. Look at all the speaking events Kim does at Harvard , White House and so much more. They are also well connected. Mariah doesn't really need their connections because she has them either ways but what Kris can do is utilise those. Get her on the Met List, Vogue (how has she never had a Vogue cover), get her all the right interviews, curate her Instagram, brand deals and a lot more. The possibilities are endless and with Mariah trying new things (like finally accepting her nonexistent bad side) why not try the Kardashian effect. I know this is an unpopular opinion but here we are lol.

Album ideas (104,902)
by MusicfanJ from Germany
| |
|
|
Bill I love all your album ideas. I really wish we would get at least two of your ideas. My favourite would be of course the Jazz album "They call the wind Mariah". I've been listening to "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Nevertheless I'm in Love with you" on repeat. Mariah can sing almost every genre but she's really a hidden jazz lady. And her diva style suits it as well. But the other ideas are also great. I think almost every fan heart would be pleased too.

Album ideas (104,901)
by Bill from the UK
| |
|
|
As it's been over half a decade since Mariah's last album, here are some ideas to help wile away the time.
*They Call the Wind Mariah* A collection of jazz standards or jazz influenced numbers. The Wind from Emotions and studio versions of Lullaby of Birdland and Don't Explain could also feature. It would also have some Mariah-penned jazz numbers and some of the old torch songs of old. It'd suit her current voice well.
*Mariah Carey Presents... The Butterfly Lounge* Her hits and some fan favourites re-worked a la the Late Night Valentine's version of We Belong Together. Also include The Roof with Brandy.
*Reckless* Caution's sequel or counterpart. A companion piece to Caution, with a lighter, brighter, more airy and free feel than the concise, precise, measured delivery of Caution.
*I Am Free* (Mariah Carey and the Clark Sisters) Her long awaited gospel album. Much as The Price Sisters and Melanie should have got a credit on the Merry Christmas album for all they brought to the project, this would be a double-billed album as the Clark Sisters will feature on every song, on background and sharing the leads and working with MC on the vocal arrangements. Some new material and some of Mariah's gospel classics, like the title track, re-worked.
*And You Don't Remember* Mariah's hidden gems from her old albums in a compilation. No hit singles allowed. This is the space for Vanishing, the title track, Till the End of Time, All I've Ever Wanted, Melt Away, Outside etc. to get their day in the sun. Plus a couple of new vault tracks because why not.
*Songs In the Key of MC* As Andrew said, a new vibrant record with a party/E=MC2 vibe.

Okay, I was hoping it was live. From the video on YouTube I couldn't tell. Anyway I still think it's time for jazz. We have three Christmas albums plus the animated movie CD, why not a jazz album?

Songs in the Key of MC (104,851)
by Libra Lamb from USA
| |
|

I think that is a great idea. She usually comes up with perfect album titles, except MIAMTEC, but including the fans suggestions she would have a lot more to choose from. I don't like Songs in the Key of MC either, Terna is right, it's too similar to Alicia Keys'. The Elusive Chanteuse would have been good enough for me or The Art of Letting Go even better instead of MIAMTEC. BTW Happy New Year everyone. I hope we get new MC album this year.

Lol. I didn't catch that she replied to herself. It has been one exhausting week for some of us. The Hot 100 chart news was devastating today. Somebody unearthed Crustella after Tanaka's and MC's breakup announcement to the media. Even I messed up bad this week and had to post my sincere apology. No more relationship analysis from me again. I will never be Dr. Phil. Cheers to the new year. I am ready for 2024.

The Stella/Mishka storyline during MC's life story would be a screenwriter's goldmine. Meryl Streep and Mayim Bialik could play the dynamic duo. Let's throw in Zac Efron to play Tanaka.

Y'all must really be trolling because when Stella was in charge of Mariah's business Mariah's image was down in the gutters. It took years for RocNation to build her back up to the legend status that she truly should have been all along. Stella really had her going around LA in her damn bodysuits and put her in a reality show that was a through and through mess. Also not y'all out here missing a thief who stole from Mariah. Bye. Mariah doesn't need Stella's chunky highlighter and cheap leather jackets in her world. I'd rather her not be "relevant".

I agree with the ideally she should date someone closer to her age and some who is on the same or similar level of success as her. If Dwayne Johnson wasn't married haha he would be my top pick for Mariah. Dude is successful, good looking, her age range and adores Mariah.

Tanaka (104,682)
by BFF from United States

|

Moving forward, I think Mariah needs to date people closer to her own age and who don't give off the "fanboy" vibes. This is the second time that a relationship with someone significantly younger than her hasn't worked out. Nick and Tanaka both always came off as very adolescent and starstruck about Mariah. Mariah needs someone to be an equal partner, not a fawning admirer. I'm not sure she would like a partner like that, but it's what we all need.
It wasn't realistic for Tanaka to expect to have children with someone who is divorced with two pre-teen children in her early to mid 50s. They should have ended the relationship a while ago if that was an expectation. Tanaka is also 40 years old himself. I'm not sure I buy the "he wants kids" argument.
Maybe Mariah just got bored?

Cool response from Adele. I like her even more that she doesn't feel the need to do a trend for some kids. I get sick if I just hear the word Tik Tok. Lol. I hope Mariah will do her thing without that stupid app too. Good music is needed, nothing more. The best thing about a certain age and mature is that you don't have to follow all stupid trends. A grown-up is above those things.

To that I say look up Adele's response to the record company suggesting she should do a song for the TikTok audience. Mariah's older songs go viral on that app without pandering to them, so I don't think this is something she should focus on. She's happier maing music that she likes/wants to make, and if it goes viral, so be it.

"Christmas time is in the air again" is my favourite right now. So classy and dreamy. "When [Christmas] comes" is another favourite. What are your actual [Christmas] favourites?

If Mariah doesn't make it to number one this week I am sure that it will be number one before Christmas. I love Mariah and I love her Christmas song and I hope it hits number one before Christmas. Brenda's song is nice too. If they can share for instance one be number one one week and then the other the next it doesn't take anything away from Mariah. She can't be number one forever. And I realize that. Here's to Mariah and Brenda.

I have seen so many versions of "If it's over", maybe I have it on my laptop. But I'm too lazy to check it. The background of the performance and the video somehow seemed "new" to me, so it's okay if you're all shocked. But I remember East 17 with "Stay another day" and "It's alright" they were huge in the good old Bundesrepublik Deutschland too. The good 90ies, I miss them. They were so much better compared to today not only chartwise. And we could go carefree to Christmas markets, I'm depressed because what's going on here since 2015. I'll stop it here and say something nice. It's snowing right now. It looks like a winter wonderland. I saw the new video with Brenda in a morning show. It was nice. Mariah and Brenda could do a Rockabilly Christmas song together. Would be fun. We have a Justin Bieber version, why not something with Brenda Lee?

Rockin' Around (104,381)
by Andrew from the UK

|

Yuh-huh. "Rockin Around the Christmes Tree" I might call a "cute little ditty". I know it from Home Alone and wasn't exactly enthralled by it then. It's no "I Love Sausage Rolls". Doesn't even come close to that masterpiece.
Thought it might be fun for non-Brits to watch the video for "Stay Another Day" by East 17: this is the song that, 29 years ago, kept Mariah from being the UK Christmas No.1 (I cried). Check out the masterpiece music video. Considering it's a song about suicide, again "I Love Sausage Rolls" it isn't. Which ought to feature a warning that it might make you want to commit suicide.
MusicFanJ is given a free pass for the (shocking) oversight of never having seen Mariah sing "If It's Over" at the Grammys, for, I believe, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" also reached Number 2 at Christmas in 1994 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Y'know, back when charts were quite simple and meant something and not full of ridiculous calculations that you'd need a doctorate to understand win an entire album of tracks from one artist comprising an entire top 10.
I'd feel old saying that. But I still look young and beautiful.
