About Aliya from Canada: I am 22 years old and I have been a huge fan of Mariah since "We Belong Together'. She is the best vocalist of all time and I will always support her.

Toronto (104,256) by Aliya from Canada I just came home from the Toronto concert. She sounded pretty good when she was singing live. And I would say she sang live for the most part. She had clarity in her voice and it didn't sound strained. She did tone down many of her songs of course as she has done through the years. Overall, it was a great show. People who were there said she sounded great. And personally, it made me confident that she could create a new album and deliver great vocals still. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 06:08)

What is your initial fan story? (102,627) by Aliya from Canada I may have become a fan a little later than others, but I'll still tell my story. I was 9 years old when I heard the belting at the end of We Belong Together in the car. I asked my mom, "Who is that?", and the rest is history. I guess growing up in the early 2000's I didn't realize that belting even existed or that someone could hold a note for that long. Artists on the radio all sounded the same, and she stood out.

What is your initial fan story? (102,618) by Robert-Anthony from United States What fascinated you about MC at any era that compelled you to become a lifetime fan? For me, it was Love Takes Time. Hearing this gem constantly on the radio made me know I was going to be a fan for life. (Monday 24 April 2023; 01:02)

Mariah on Colbert (101,755) by Aliya from Canada Wow, she was really hilarious and authentic in this interview. I hope everyone sees it. (Thursday 8 December 2022; 16:05) this is a reply to message 101,752

Mariah on Colbert (101,752) by Randy from USA As I'm writing this, I realize why she's so insecure. We really do pick apart everything about her. But since we have a little extra time. Start with the positive. She looked amazing. I love the ponytail. I love that her foundation matched her skin perfectly. And she looked like money. Now, Randy will speak. She is interesting to listen to but at times it's just too immature for a 50+ year old woman. She's not a ditz but she seems to revel in playing one. She's so excited to check off every talking point in her head, she speaks in fast garbled sentences. But MC we know you wrote the song. We know you are mixed. We know you didn't go to class. We know your Christmases were ruined. With all that said, I was never bored and could not take my eyes off of her. I don't think she came off likeable to the non fan. And how weird was it that she walked out to Natural Woman? Number one, she has the most famous original Christmas song of all time blazing the charts. Number two, she has the largest catalogue of number ones of any living artist. And did anyone else get the feeling Steven Colbert was like wtf, she's crazier than I expected, the whole time? What do y'all think? (Thursday 8 December 2022; 06:21)

Re: iTunes world chart (100,041) (100,057) by Aliya from Canada Now it's #1 on iTunes Canada as well! (Wednesday 30 March 2022; 15:43)

Re: So much for my dream (99,986) (99,990) by Aliya from Canada I personally love when Mariah collaborates with rappers, but it has to be the right one. I'm not sure about this rapper Latto, I'll be checking her out to see if she has actual talent. But I love the Honey remix with the Lox. I'll be Lovin' You Longtime remix with T.I. I Know What You Want with Busta. You Got Me with Freeway and Jay-Z, etc. I know that hip hop is a genre she really loves, and I love to hear her on it. (Saturday 26 March 2022; 23:26)

Re: MC on James Corden (99,088) (99,096) by Aliya from Canada I absolutely loved Mariah's appearance on the James Corden show. She was fun, witty and down-to-earth. I would love for more people to see that side of her. Also, her and James really clicked, which made it all the more entertaining. (Thursday 9 December 2021; 23:09)

Re: To be honest (98,220) (98,221) by Aliya from Canada I still want a fresh, feel-good summer record from Mariah. Like "I'll Be Lovin' You longtime", but a 2021 version. I think this summer is the perfect time to release a record like that for the lambs. (Sunday 20 June 2021; 06:55)

Re: I'm late / Maxwell collab (97,981) (97,983) by Aliya from Canada I'm so happy it's Maxwell she's collaborating with. His voice is so smooth. Urban Hang Suite is a classic album, especially the song Sumthin' Sumthin'. Check it out if you haven't heard it. (Monday 17 May 2021; 23:46)

Re: Best opening line (97,783) (97,789) by Aliya from Canada I'm thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me be right (Friday 9 April 2021; 21:51)

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel 9. Music Box 10. E=MC2 11. Caution 12. Glitter 13. Rainbow Unpopular opinion: Charmbracelet ranks high on my list.

Re: Valentines mix (97,370) (97,374) by Aliya from Canada It's the best performance she has done in a long, long time. I'm blown away. Wow, quarantine really did help repair her voice. It's incredible, and I love to see that confidence in her. I'm going to show this performance to literally everyone I know. (Monday 15 February 2021; 04:09)

Re: Mimi's late night Valentine's Day mix (97,352) (97,356) by Aliya from Canada So happy for her. It's trending on YouTube! (Saturday 13 February 2021; 01:42)

4Real4Real (97,305) by Aliya from Canada So happy she released 4Real4Real as a bonus. It's way too good, needed more recognition. (Saturday 6 February 2021; 01:18)

Re: The "perfect" R&B album (outside of Mariah's world) (97,010) (97,025) by Aliya from Canada Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (Thursday 24 December 2020; 06:53)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,843) by Aliya from Canada From what I see, Oh Santa. is #1 on iTunes in Canada. And #2 is All I Want for Christmas is You. She is dominating. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 00:58)

Re: Oh Santa 2020 (96,809) (96,814) by Aliya from Canada I love this version of the song. I always felt like Mariah was almost a combination of Ariana and JHud, but better. What I mean is, Ariana has a beautiful tone, but less power in her voice. JHud has a less appealing tone, but more power in her voice. And Mariah has both a beautiful tone and power, more so than them, especially in her younger years. Overall, I actually think this version is better than the original. I enjoyed watching the video and seeing them all united. (Friday 4 December 2020; 16:50)

Oh Santa! (96,789) by Aliya from Canada I can't believe Mariah and Ariana synchronized a whistle together. That was soo cute. (Friday 4 December 2020; 06:11)

Re: Kelly Clarkson (96,774) (96,782) by Aliya from Canada That actually makes so much sense now that I think about it. You're probably right. (Thursday 3 December 2020; 18:36)

Re: Heroes / Hero / Joy To The World medley (96,762) (96,781) by Aliya from Canada Wow, she did amazing on this. Especially on Joy to the World. Great job Mariah. (Thursday 3 December 2020; 18:35)

Re: Oh Santa! (96,719) (96,720) by Aliya from Canada You've made a great point. Let's hope it's her 20th #1. (Tuesday 24 November 2020; 05:53)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,679) (96,681) by Aliya from Canada Yea, it's risky to sing with Ariana. I'm curious to know what Mariah's plans are here. I hope she knows the current state of her voice well enough that she will perform without showing those weaknesses. The song is Oh Santa, so really, the vocals aren't so crazy on that track anyways. But as we all know, Ariana's voice is nothing compared to Mariah's legendary prime voice. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 21:54)

Re: Exact lyrics (96,634) (96,646) by Aliya from Canada Yes, I agree. One Night is a track that I cannot get over. How was this not released? Mariah's voice is just so smooth and beautiful. With her Daydream era voice, she could have sung absolutely any lyrics with any words, even if it didn't make sense, and I still would have been like, "That's beautiful." The tone and power of her voice was out of this world. (Monday 16 November 2020; 19:44)

Re: Trump (96,579) (96,584) by Aliya from Canada All the educated people hate Trump. That should tell you something. (Tuesday 10 November 2020; 19:41)
