I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.
Thirsty (103,830) by Robert-Anthony from United States

No. It's all about Damizza. I will prove it by the following:

1. Damion Young changed his name to Damizza.
2. His book Guilty was published in 2012. Thirsty was released in 2013.
3. He was trying to be the next Irv Gotti wearing Tom Fords and starting his own label.
4. MC was in love with Damizza. She confessed her love for him in If We.
5. Thirsty was MC's single word response to Guilty.

Edward- Bill is still number #1 in my book and you too. You are our well grounded and most objective member and Bill is our MCA's chart guru. Jamie asks some great questions and keeps the topics going and Terna gives some great commentary about MC's vocal decline and he laughed at me calling Special K "sugar plum". I am just having fun on here and laughing at Andy's jabs at me now. We are a family and we got to have fun on here. Edward, what are you doing for New Years Eve?

Lol. I was afraid I was doing that. Point made clearly. I will hold off on my reasons why Merry Christmas II You should not have had that piece together AIWFCIY duet with Justin Beiber. But, tell me why do you respond to multiple people posts all in one chuck of a time on the computer? We see your handsome face like six times in a row sometimes.

Halloween is in two weeks. What is MC going to do this year to top last year's "it's time" video? I suspect this year Roc and Roe will be involved in the video. By the way, the 2019 Merry Christmas Anniversary Edition was released on November 1st, 2019. It will be 4 years old this year. I am ready for the festive season to begin.

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,808) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Thursday 19 October 2023; 12:15)
I did some research. Although it was released as the 2nd single and a video was made, Miss You Most failed to chart. I did notice an increase of plays in retail stores in 2019 and 2020, but radio won't consider playing it. It is such beautiful song that I don't mind its sadness.

The Star (103,800) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Thursday 19 October 2023; 04:43)
I just pulled out another gem released 5 years ago. 1993 MC would have let loose on The Star. I hope more Marc Shaiman collaborations will happen. This collaboration really captured the essence of MC's unique melody with his own musical brilliance. By the way, something special is happening about Caution in November. Can you believe it has been 5 years since its release? I have something special planned for Cautuon on November 16th. Stay tuned in 4 weeks.

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (103,798) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Wednesday 18 October 2023; 23:01)
I just thought about this song today. Why are Christmas ballads not as popular as up tempo songs during the Christmas season? Every song released and makes it unto the charts is up tempo or mid tempo. You would think with the right promotion and airplay, Miss You Most could easily be a top 10 hit each year.

The ensemble dahling always overshadows the wait for a big announcement. I wish that she just teases us that an announcement is coming soon. I need time to save my coins. I bet James Poyser knows. He always posts daily on X about things.

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,775) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 17 October 2023; 01:04)
Libra, we all are truly concerned about MC's career. Retirement will save her legacy. If she continues down this path of poor performances, YouTube viewers and music critics are not going to be nice anymore. She should stop performing live until her vocal issues are resolved. I would rather have The Rarities release #2-5 for the next 5 years than for MC to continue performing live and sounding a hot mess. I just wish Kuk Harrell or Mervyn Warren or Donald Lawrence were around in the 90s as her vocal coach producing her vocals. They would have told her no to the way she sung in that breathiness tone from 1995-1999 and to stop the whistle notes. If only Tommy made MC have a vocal coach during those early years, we might not be cringing in our seats now with every live performance.

Wasn't it reported that the hip hop production team The Runners did a couple of songs on Einstein? I would love to hear those two songs one day. Imagine one of their songs after Side Effects.

Bill, where have you been? I opened up my Mariah book just for you. Lol. Great post as always. We are watching MC sink further in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Her mind is in Capri while her body is in New York preparing for 13 facade of Christmas concerts. The four employees who could have a talk with her and get her to stop these concerts are Daniel, Maryann, Trey, and Takeytha. They are participating with her in these concerts that we all know will not make MC sound and look any better this Christmas. How can they not say anything and watch what she doing to herself? I see their checks in their hands as they run to the bank.

It's A Wrap visualizer (103,748) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 14 October 2023; 16:12)
MC does not have great management if anyone is managing her career now. She doesn't have someone telling her that I don't think you should be releasing a visualizer for a 14 year old song right now. Everything is just off right now leading up to her biggest time of year.

We will know by the end of the Merry Christmas One and All shows where MC's career will be next year. There is a reason why she doesn't have a recording contract right now. MC knows why she doesn't have a recording contract. No one would have believed in 1997 that the greatest female singer in world would not have a recording contract in 2023. It's sad that she couldn't get a indie or Shanachie recording contract right now. No label executive wants to invest money in her with the current state of her voice. There is talk among label executives about MC's career. We are no longer in an extended break between albums. We are in an official undisclosed album hiatus right now.

Questions for JD (103,739) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 14 October 2023; 05:24)
Just flipping through my Mariah book looking at all of the managers MC has had in 30 years. The most shocking manager era was when JD became her manager. After 10 years later, I have questions for JD. What happened between you and MC that caused your management deal with MC to end?. Did you have a different direction for MIAM after the Walmart TAOLG leak? Did you ever suggest to MC that she retire in 2013 after the commercial failure of MIAM? What is the music industry saying about MC's lack of vocal ability now? What is your favorite MC collaboration? Finally, why did you allow MC to record I Don't and Save The Day?

Lol. We may not find out until 20 years later what is truly wrong with Mariah. Maybe she has been suffering long-term effects from dislocating her shoulder in 2013. She hasn't moved on stage much since 2013. We may never know what is going on with MC. It took her 17 years to tell the world that she is bipolar.

Migrate (103,724) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Thursday 12 October 2023; 13:01)
I was just thinking about Migrate and how it was such misstep in her career that cost her a #1 song. Mariah Carey's top five negative career decisions are the following:

1. Migrate - Island/Def Jam's decision not releasing it as the second single.

2. Glitter - I don't need to say why.

3. American Idol - She was made a mockery of by the producers for ratings. Let's have the viewers tune in each week to see Mariah and Nicki fight on live TV.

4. Through The Rain - Prior to Charmbracelet, MC had never released a ballad as her first single.

5. A No No - The failure of securing Cardi B. was a shame and let down after all the hype about the talk of Cardi B. on the remix.

Butterfly the song (103,722) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Thursday 12 October 2023; 01:03)
I remember R&B radio in 1997 playing Butterfly like every hour when the video was released. Butterfly is MC's best written song from the 90s. So, why hasn't it ever been covered? But, who could cover it today and sing it well? Coco Jones? Ariana Grande? Tamar Braxton? So that brings me to my final question. Why hasn't MC had an allstar tribute album like Aretha, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Luther? Isn't she worthy of such a tribute after 30 years in the music business? I think that she is worthy. It would probably be a platinum selling album too. Butterfly brought me here because this song signifies why MC is the greatest at melody and lyrics. Tommy must have lost it when he heard Butterfly that he had to set MC free.

I remember when DFAU came out. I was like where did this song come from. It had everything you wanted in a pop Rnb ballad. Radio played it so much. And don't forget about that bridge. No one had done something like that before.

Great post, T. Can you post one about MIAM? The Art Of Letting Go vs. MIAM. I think 100 Percent and Save The Day (before she added the Lauryn Hill sample) and Triumphant were going to be on MIAM.
