Unreleased song? (114,961) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lambs, is this true? (Wednesday 11 November 2026; 22:52)

This woman can't walk (114,944) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I don't know if you're talking about this really seriously or just kind of joking, but maybe I'm starting to think that something physical is having more and more impact on her. It's more that usually obvious in the video. I can't even know what to think. (Monday 9 November 2026; 22:39) this is a reply to message 114,934

This woman can't walk (114,934) by Edward from USA Can we have a little compassion here? It's kind of obvious she must've undergone some kind of combined knee and hip replacement surgery, which is no small thing and can be very taxing on the body. The hips and knees have a direct impact on the chest and head voice respectively. I think her Christmas shows will be greatly improved this season. (Monday 9 November 2026; 15:36)

Article: Mariah announces 2027 European summer festival tour dates (114,942) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain What about Spain? (Monday 9 November 2026; 22:30)

Lead the Way (114,928) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I think the same. That recording session is just her pretending to be singing that section of the song, but she's just miming. Mariah has never shared real footage of her recording sessions, only a few adlibs here and there, for example, the WBT remix or E=MC2 sessions. (Monday 9 November 2026; 02:35) this is a reply to message 114,920

Lead the Way (114,920) by Lee from UK I constantly see this clip of her "singing" and "recording" this part of Lead the Way and it makes me wonder, who on earth believes that this actually happened. It is so obviously a set up moment and not part of the actual recording session. Mariah has never been a great lip-syncer and this video proves that. She never seems to make the facial expressions believeable. There is a reason we don't see Mariah acting a whole lot. (Saturday 7 November 2026; 15:04)

Really great interview (114,924) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This one is just so true and sincere. Given everything we know now, we can read between the lines. In short, she's always been saying the same things. (Saturday 7 November 2026; 21:08)

Punk song lyrics (114,891) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Can anybody understand what she's saying in this new punk song on the It's Time video? Something like "Schwarzenegger with no muscles"? In fact, I've just found out that it's "Hermit". Here are the lyrics. They are so clever and bitter at the same time. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 23:31)

Mariah the perfectionist (114,854) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Great analysis. (Sunday 1 November 2026; 22:13) this is a reply to message 114,845

Mariah the perfectionist (114,845) by Bobby A from United States Is this a true characterization of MC as a live performer? I just wonder if not being able to tour during her debut or Emotions eras is the cause of MC's perfectionism. Or could it be her long hours in the studio vocal stacking and correcting every flawed note or ending? All of her studio techniques can not be replicated during a live performance now with her vocal decline. Maybe her perfectionism is the reason why she relies so heavily now on backing tracks. Also, I think the New Year's Eve massive technical meltdown performance exposed her perfectionism and did something emotionally to MC. The opening line of Portrait told us what MC was dealing with on the inside and foreshadowed why Lambs would have to wait seven years for another Mariah Carey album until she healed. Just my thoughts since we have heard about four rough demos now this year. I love MC and I know 2027 is going to be her second comeback. (Saturday 31 October 2026; 22:48)

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,806) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I want the CD for the whole package. Also, Daydream 30th lacks several songs on the second disc. I want CDs. I don't buy [vinyls]. (Thursday 29 October 2026; 00:23) this is a reply to message 114,799

Glitter 25 bonus disc tracklisting (114,799) by Travis from USA Fortunately, there's a CD re-release for this, but unfortunately, it's only the original album and doesn't contain any of the bonus tracks from the anniversary editions which 3 are available on the pink vinyl and 15 are available on the expanded digital edition from what I have seen and researched. (Wednesday 28 October 2026; 02:15)

The girl we fell in love with, the woman she became (114,791) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Bobby, contextualize more about all these things you're talking about, please. (Tuesday 27 October 2026; 14:52) this is a reply to message 114,786

The girl we fell in love with, the woman she became (114,786) by Bobby A from United States Edward, go easy on Rose. Do you remember 14 years ago when I would get carried away with so much excitement? It took me about the recording of the Caution album to find my voice with less predictions and crazy Dear MC requests. Plus, I feel you asking me to upload a face pic as my avatar in 2022 made me tone it down and it made me blush too. I feel you are going to be the number one poster this year. I want you to have the title this year. Will you be home in New York this Christmas? (Monday 26 October 2026; 23:19)

Great interviews (114,790) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Check this out. She always behaves so professionally and formally around Molly. (Tuesday 27 October 2026; 14:48)

Gliiter cd (114,716) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I have the CD and the movie on DVD. I love them both. The movie is not outstanding, but it's ok. (Monday 19 October 2026; 21:33) this is a reply to message 114,707

Gliiter cd (114,707) by Bobby A from United States How many of you actually have Glitter on CD? Have you been listening to it this month? I have found another used copy today at a store which is a rare find. This stuff is starting now. Lol. What other Glitter celebrations will you doing during these last 12 days? I am going to watch Glitter next Saturday. (Monday 19 October 2026; 00:27)

Here For It All (114,645) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Jamie, I understand what you're going through perfectly. The worst mental health crisis in my life was in 2022 from May to November. It took a long while to recover and get back to normal after so many little steps. I can see that you're almost there. You can feel that the rainbow is just around the corner. Be patient with yourself. And you know that you can count on Mariah's music and all of us here. \When we deal with this throughout our lives, we have to resort to previous experiences so that we can help ourselves. "You're gonna make it through the rain". (Sunday 4 October 2026; 14:11) this is a reply to message 114,629

Here For It All (114,629) by Jamie from UK I've really connected to Here For It All again recently. I've just been through a really difficult time with depression and anxiety, the worst I've had since it started 30 years ago. Listening to the lyrics in this track have resonated with me on another level and given me hope. I'm now back home after living with my mum for a month and getting back on track. I'm hoping to return to work soon as been off since June. Mariah's music always brings me joy and I've been listening to her a lot recently. After surviving a gruesome fall I feel the clouds are now lifting. I'm looking forward to the Glitter release although she needs to hurry up as I'm getting impatient. Whilst I have contributed as much on here this year I still love to come on daily and read people's posts, it's great to have this sense of community around the person we all love (Saturday 3 October 2026; 11:31)

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,534) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Wow. Brilliant analysis. I've always loved Clown. It's a stand-out on Charmbracelet. (Tuesday 8 September 2026; 02:43) this is a reply to message 114,532

Clown vs. Obsessed (114,532) by karel from belgie Clown and Obsessed may both deal with a man whom Mariah believes has an inflated sense of himself and uses her name for attention, but the way she approaches that subject in each song is completely different. In Clown, she takes a more psychological approach. Rather than launching a direct attack, she tries to understand why this person behaves the way he does, suggesting that his arrogance is really a cover for insecurity. The title itself is telling. She doesn't portray him as an enemy, but as a clown, someone who ultimately makes a fool of himself. One of the things I love about the song is how she exposes him without ever sounding bitter or vindictive. She paints a picture of someone trying hard to appear important and intimidating, while making it clear that she sees right through the act. As a result, the song feels mature, intelligent, and quietly devastating. She doesn't sound angry. She sounds disappointed and mildly amused, which makes the criticism hit even harder. Obsessed, on the other hand, takes the exact opposite approach. The entire song revolves around the idea that this person is supposedly obsessed with her. The hook repeats that message over and over, and the mockery is much more obvious. Where Clown allows the listener to draw their own conclusions, Obsessed practically spells everything out for them. Musically, the contrast is just as striking. Clown is built around a smooth, understated R&B production that leaves plenty of room for the lyrics and the vocals. The focus is on what she's saying. Obsessed shifts the attention toward the beat, the catchy chorus, and the playful attitude. It's constructed as a major pop single, whereas Clown feels more like a personal statement. What I find particularly interesting is how much Clown relies on irony. Mariah never has to outright tell the listener that this man is pathetic. You figure that out on your own through the way she describes him. In Obsessed, the judgment is much more direct and explicit. Because of that, the songwriting feels less sophisticated and more like a reaction in the heat of the moment. Even vocally, the difference is significant. On Clown, Mariah uses a warm, controlled, and mature vocal performance. She sounds confident because she has nothing to prove. On Obsessed, the vocals become part of the attitude and humor of the track. The production effects and heavily processed sound fit the song's playful tone, but they also distract from what was once her greatest strength: her ability to carry a song through pure vocal expression. "Clown" is Mariah dissecting her opponent with subtlety, observation, and intelligence. "Obsessed" is Mariah publicly mocking that same opponent through a catchy pop hit. Or, to put it even more bluntly: "Clown" lets the listener discover why the man is a clown. "Obsessed" simply shouts it from the rooftops. And that's why I believe Clown is the stronger and more timeless song. (Monday 7 September 2026; 23:14)

Here For It All one year later (114,504) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I'd love to keep getting lots of albums too even though her voice is not the same. I still think that her creativity and mastership are unparalleled. (Saturday 29 August 2026; 19:43) this is a reply to message 114,500

Here For It All one year later (114,500) by Randy from USA Bill, you and I usually agree but I don't here. I find most of the unreleased stuff dreadful. To me they really represent cutting floor material. But each new album has surprises to me. Everyone on this board, and on the planet Earth, knows I hate MIAMTEC, but what a surprise Meteorite was for me. I never thought Mariah would get all abstract on us. Camouflage is one of the most beautiful things she's ever done. Caution's GTFO is very vile for a diva of Mariah's caliber and A No No is kinda genius. And as much as I hate the song Giving Me Life, again, I never thought I'd see MC doing two tempos on a record. Finally on Here For It All, Mi is a straight rap song and Gospel disco on Jesus I Do? Is that a new genre? I say all this to say, MC still has a lot of creativity and innovation in her even though the voice is shot. I'd love to still get new albums. Lots of them. (Friday 28 August 2026; 22:37)

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,468) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Similarly, I tend to go more for B-sides, rarities, collabos, live performances. Live sessions from Daydream are gems. But currently, I'm still a bit hooked on Here For It All in the car. (Monday 24 August 2026; 07:18) this is a reply to message 114,464

MC songs I've burnt out on (114,464) by Randy from USA Between me, MC's live sets and the general public, I just have heard the following songs so much, I skip them on my playlists or on albums. Hero Fantasy All I Want For Christmas We Belong Together Shake It Off Is it just me? If you ask me what I play the most these days it's Heartbreaker with Jay Z, Through The Rain, Languishing, Petals and Angel's Cry with Neyo. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 23:50)

Beautiful concept (114,462) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is fan-made and turns out to be amazing. Don't you think? (Sunday 23 August 2026; 22:00)

Glitter 25th anniversary (114,458) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain It seems unrealistic, but not impossible. We would die for that. Mariah is/was more than capable of doing something like that, but it is/was not her style. Anyway, let's see what happens. Lol. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 16:52) this is a reply to message 114,436

Glitter 25th anniversary (114,436) by Edward from USA If it were, I would die happy. Just for the Elton John cover, it would be great. (Saturday 22 August 2026; 03:49)

Glitter and Daydream (114,451) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I only buy CDs. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 02:19) this is a reply to message 114,449

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)

Glitter 25th anniversary (114,431) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Can this be for real? (Friday 21 August 2026; 21:27)

More depth to the interesting video (114,251) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Interesting facts and chronology as well. If we could just get answers straight from Mariah herself. Lol. (Tuesday 21 July 2026; 00:02) this is a reply to message 114,249

More depth to the interesting video (114,249) by Lambi from USA Anyway guys, let me just jog your memory real quick, I wish he actually had gone way deeper on the video essay. I've added more to my timeline: • January 2016: Mariah and James get engaged. • September 2016: They break it off. • October/November 2016: Mariah seeks $50 million. From this PR response Mariah made in November, you can sense that the legal battle has intensified. I've summarized what she was signaling to James so you don't have to: • I made a million in 7 minutes, so this $50 million inconvenience fee is more than appropriate. • I don't know what to do with your 35-carat ring, but I have it and I'm keeping it. Oh wait, I'll put in on my middle finger as a f*** you. • I'm about to clap back with a new song, Bryan is infinitely cuter than you and no, we are not reconciling. Then December 2016 NYE comes, we all know what happened. I'm not sure who thought getting involved with a billionaire, especially one who are buddies with powerful political figures (meaning unlimited power), was a good idea. Another tidbit: Brett Ratner (their mutual) also ended his business partnership with James in April 2017. Subsequently, Brett was faced with allegations of sexual harassment, unwanted sexual advances, and sexual assault. The same playbook seemingly used for Mariah during Stella's era. (Monday 20 July 2026; 14:47)

Interesting video (114,180) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain What do you think about this? It seems kind of realistic, at least, as far as the information that I've heard or seen throughout the years. (Wednesday 15 July 2026; 12:47)

MC's best bridge (114,115) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is the song of my life. (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 22:06) this is a reply to message 114,102

MC's best bridge (114,102) by Edward from USA I can't pretend these tears Aren't overflowing steadily I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me But I will stand and say goodbye For you'll never be mine Until you know the way it feels to fly Honorable mention And it's hard And it's hard And it's hard (Sunday 5 July 2026; 05:44)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,893) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Yeah, sure. What's your username? (Saturday 30 May 2026; 09:05) this is a reply to message 113,869

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,869) by Syed from UK Thank you Xavier and yes I'd be thrilled to. The full song is out there plus a video on various platforms/streaming, but for a fellow Lamb, I'd recommend watching the shorter clip on my X profile as it's combined with the story behind it. How Mariah inspired me to create this song, what I hope to achieve with it and why it took me 20 years. Do you have X/Twitter? I probably won't be able to share the link here but I can share my username. Bobby, summer has arrived early this side of the pond. I'm sure Xavier will be feeling this where he is too as both countries are roasting as I type. And if I've started a new trend by consolidating my responses then all I can say is... I'm here for it all. I think a lot of fans are genuinely excited about Glitter. The Justice4Glitter movement was a huge accomplishment by the Lambily which Mariah has very much recognized, so it would only make sense that whatever she has up her sleeve for Glitter25 is going to be worth the wait. But definitely there are many things for us to look forward to this year. Personally I'm most looking forward to the unreleased tracks from the Glitter sessions. (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 17:27)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,865) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Welcome, Syed. And what about your songs? Would you let us have a listen? (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 02:15) this is a reply to message 113,849

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,849) by Syed from UK Hey everyone. I never knew about this site until today. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see actual conversations about our queen as opposed to an endless barrage of GIF's and emoji's under every Mariah post on Facebook, Insta, etc. And well articulated conversations - at that. I might not completely agree with every comment I've read, I think 1 or 2 border on overly critical, but it's good to see a diverse mixture of opinions from Lambs, without overt censorship. I agree with some of the viewpoints here that Mariah increasingly does not seem like her usual self these days. It may be her condition, a side effect of medication, or past (and recent) trauma resurfacing, a combination of all the above, or... something unrelated. As Lambs, the best thing we can do is to support Mariah in any we we can. Because that's what she did for us through countless songs such as: Hero, Can't take that away, Make it happen, and so many others. We also need to overlook any behaviors we might not agree with because A) It's hard to trust anything you see online anymore (thanks AI) and media never shows us the true picture, only a distorted version that "sells" better. And B) We are not in her shoes, as much as we may think we know her, we only know her through the lens of the media, mostly. What she may be going through or battling internally and how they might manifest outwardly are things we need to be mindful of. Just be kind. As she has always been to us. What do I feel could help? Well... if I had a magic wand I'd whisk Mariah away to a place where she could spend some time being in touch with nature, walk down a street without being recognized, and feel genuine excitement reconnecting with the simple things in life. It may not solve everything but I could literally guarantee that she'd feel a positive difference. Call it intuition (I share a lot of uncanny coincidences with Mariah) or just my observation of Mariah over the years and knowing the person she is beneath the exterior. About me: - Lamb since 1993 - when I first heard Dreamlover in a clothes store. - I can confidently say I wouldn't be where I am today, without her music to help me through so many rough times. - Creator of the "40 Hidden Mariah songs challenge" which is a tribute to Mimi plus fun Easter Egg hunt for the Lambily, you can catch it here if you'd like to try solving it. - Recorded and released my own song in 2 languages based on a wish to "pay forward" what Mariah's music did for me, with a song that gives others hope. Took me just 20 years to make it happen. Have a great weekend everyone and again really nice to meet you all. (Saturday 23 May 2026; 19:26)

Nodules (113,237) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Same here. I agree with everything you said. I thought that it's been pointless to maintain this since she started to lipsynch the whole concerts for The Celebration of Mimi Vegas residency, or even the Christmas ones right before. (Thursday 12 February 2026; 02:15) this is a reply to message 113,236

Nodules (113,236) by Edward from USA Smoking is a nasty habit. It's hard to quit, but it's not impossible. Dionne Warwick is 85 year smokes, I mean, old, and she still smokes. As for Mariah and her voice, it's not even 20% of what it used to be, it's sad. HFIA is definitely a strong body of work lyrically, but I keep waiting for that punch, that big vocal or emotional moment in at least a few of the songs, but it just never really comes. While I do love the album, for Mariah standards, to me, it stays flat from beginning to end. I think a lot of us still hold onto that tiny bit of hope hope that somehow her voice will turn around, but I doubt it now. At this point, I don't even know why she keeps performing, or maybe I should say lipping, because that's mostly what it is now. I can understand miming a song or two, or saving your voice for certain climactic moments, but just standing there, looking pretty and going through the motions? That doesn't do it for me.
