Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,721) by Zachariah from Croatia Just to drop here with one more: Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica). I adore that video. And song as well. (Tuesday 26 August 2025; 21:51) this is a reply to message 110,679

What's wrong with MC (110,683) by Zachariah from Croatia You are onto something. I feel the same. She looks great, finally has a team who is working behind the scenes but she is sending vibes "please, leave me alone and let me be home in my pyjamas".

What's wrong with MC (110,682) by LambyMP from Usa I can't help but think something is wrong with M. It's written on her face. She's acting so different. Still loving the new era. But somehow I feel like we are loving it more than she is. Am I wrong? (Sunday 24 August 2025; 09:00)

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,664) by Zachariah from Croatia My favorite one is for sure Through The Rain. Such a great song and message. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 13:35) this is a reply to message 110,660

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,660) by Dove from United States My favorite Mariah music videos are: Fantasy Obsessed Honey Breakdown Anytime You Need A Friend Loverboy Dreamlover I just watched a bunch, just to make sure I wasn't forgetting any. MC really does need to step it up with the videos. She needs to take advantage that she looks so good right now and make a bunch. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 12:17)

Video Vanguard (110,659) by Zachariah from Croatia I can actually see her doing that. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 10:29) this is a reply to message 110,654

Video Vanguard (110,654) by Lambi from USA Yup. Mariah literally sashayed into the Gamma board meeting, tossed her hair, and said this verbatim: "Can we have an MTV Video Music Award moment and a Grammy moment? Oh, and a Brazilian lambily moment? Maybe another TikTok viral moment? Please thank you darlings." (Saturday 23 August 2025; 02:43)

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,639) by Zachariah from Croatia Such a great news. Congratulations. (Friday 22 August 2025; 17:47)

Article: The top producers of the 21st century on the Hot 100 (110,623) by Zachariah from Croatia She doesn't deserve 2/3 of the amount of Grammy's she has. Jay-Z is the only reason why she is having so much of them. (Thursday 21 August 2025; 16:29)

Here For It All snippet (110,527) by Zachariah from Croatia I am hearing a bit of "I Only Wanted" from Charmbracelet and "I Am Free" from Daydream. (Saturday 16 August 2025; 12:52) this is a reply to message 110,526

Here For It All snippet (110,526) by Bobby A from United States Terna, can you help me understand chord progression? You said Here For It All is very Mariahesque in melody and chord progression. AI said MC's chord progressions have a modal mixture departing from the core chords of the song's key to borrow chords from parallel mode. What does all of that mean? Can you give me one MC ballad from each her albums that has a similar chord progression to help me understand? I listened to the snippet with headphones and it is not bad at all. It reminds of MC's vocals on Heavenly (Can't Give Up Now). I think multiple radio formats would play Here For It All because it's a piano ballad similar in the vein of Adele's Easy On Me.

I would be a completely different person (110,523) by Zachariah from Croatia Wow. It's like school in summer - no class. (Saturday 16 August 2025; 02:20) this is a reply to message 110,518

I would be a completely different person (110,518) by Bobby A from United States You got to have a sassy comeback for mouth shutters though. (Friday 15 August 2025; 23:16)

Do you all think? (110,507) by Zachariah from Croatia She can sing. She proved that in UK recently. (Friday 15 August 2025; 13:48) this is a reply to message 110,505

Do you all think? (110,505) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with everything you've written. Hundred thumbs up for "tired of the 'diva' persona, the chest always out, talking about lighting and such, and want her to do what she does (or used to do) best, which is sing. There lies the problem. She just can't sing anymore. She could get away with playing the ditzy diva role with no problem 'if' she still had the chops/voice." I also hope the new album will surprise us. I'm really excited for the songs with the Clark Sisters (they could bring the soul back) and the Paul McCartney cover. (Friday 15 August 2025; 11:29)

Taylor Swift (110,482) by Zachariah from Croatia I am hoping for the same. I think Sugar Sweet was something like GTFO from Caution - just a teaser single but then again, GTFO had a video. And a good one. At least visually. I just can't connect to it knowing that there are two more artists on in that I never heard of. I really wish I could work in an environment such as gamma to see who decides these things and release or not release singles and videos on time or after. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 10:55) this is a reply to message 110,478

Taylor Swift (110,478) by Tevin from USA I still believe Mariah has and will have one more big hit in her. Maybe not a number one, but definitely a top ten song. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 05:48)

Taylor Swift (110,454) by Zachariah from Croatia How I wish that chart-showdown we're fantasizing about would actually happen just so that we can shut your mouth. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 08:32) this is a reply to message 110,441

Taylor Swift (110,441) by Edward from USA Bobby A, sometimes I think you live in an alternate universe. Mariah isn't competing with anyone with "Here For It All". She's a legacy artist now, her last 11-track album came out nearly a decade ago. It's more like when Streisand or other legacy artists release something: their core fans eat it up, but that's about it. Back in the '90s, when Mariah and Whitney were killing it, did you really think any legacy artist from that time could compete with them? Exactly. So let's not pretend we're still in that era where a new Mariah release is a head-to-head chart battle. This is a completely different stage of her career. Here's what will likely happen: the album drops, us Lambs grab it immediately, and within three or four weeks, it's gone from the Billboard Top 100 albums. Mariah's waited too long, and outside of us devoted fans, most people have moved on. That's not pessimism, just a dose of realism. Which is why I'm hoping it's a great album, one that earns solid reviews and a few well-deserved accolades. In short, that chart-showdown you're fantasizing about? It's not going to happen. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 17:39)

Great music (110,437) by Zachariah from Croatia I second that. I will get a cd player from my coworkers for my birthday just to play Mariah's albums. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 11:09) this is a reply to message 110,435

Great music (110,435) by Stacey from USA I am really trying not to listen to snippets from MC's upcoming album, leaked or not. Call me old school, but I still enjoy unpacking a new MC CD, opening up and browsing through the liner notes while the music plays. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 07:01)

Reminder to vote VMA's (110,367) by Zachariah from Croatia Already done. Come on guys, let's make it happen. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 15:14) this is a reply to message 110,366

Reminder to vote VMA's (110,366) by T from USA You can only cast ten votes per category now so Mariah's [Type Dangerous] is going to need all the lambs' help she can get. (Thursday 7 August 2025; 14:52)

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,358) by Zachariah from Croatia Regarding how is it doing overseas - it doesn't. Middle and Eastern Europe general public still think that worth of mentioning is only one song and that is All I Want For Christmas Is You and they think that she only has that one as a hit. Of course, Europe Lambs are not included here. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 18:04) this is a reply to message 110,351

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,351) by Randy from USA I've been really busy lately but I've been reading comments in the background. I feel as tho Mariah and Gamma made a big gamble with all this promotion and putting out these two singles. They're not bad lead singles like You're Mine Eternal. It's just that they're not undeniable hits like Touch My Body, You Don't Know What To Do (could've been). Neither of these said hit on first listen to me. They're cute songs but not comeback material. And now they may be heading for a flop. Caution debuted at #5 and at the rate this train is going I don't even see that. They have three options. 1. Release something fire, enough of this muddled opaque blah music. But that will mean we have heard a quarter of the album. And I'll be pissed if that Barbara [sic] track makes the album. 2. Push the album back which will piss the hardcore fans off. 3. Release the album now and see how people feel about it and maybe do a re-release if it flops and this time release something fire that's undeniable to the ear. This roll out is horrible because it's almost as if they believed one of those songs was a hit and would carry interest all the way to 9/26. Did they not take the MIAMTEC singles and Caution singles and their chart performance into consideration? Oh and I'm curious to know how Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet are doing overseas. Artists always complain Americans are fickle. How's her Japanese fans reacting to the music? (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 13:46)

Type Dangerous nominated for MTV music video award (110,341) by T from USA Mariah is up for best R&B song category for Type Dangerous. Her first nomination since 2008. Today you can vote up to 20 times in one shot (usually you only get to cast ten ballots). Let's go lambs. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 19:42)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,317) by Dove from United States For sure she had her breasts done. If you look at pictures from 20 years ago and today, there is no way her body would change that drastically with only diet and exercise. I wasn't shaming. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:54)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,321) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't see nothing Asian in her face. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:42) this is a reply to message 110,319

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,319) by TJ from Norway If you're not blind, you can see it around her eyes. She got a hint of Asian now. She didn't have that in the early 90's. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:10)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,320) by Zachariah from Croatia No, I am not being sarcastic or ignorant. From what I can see, breast are propocional to her weight. She is not super skinny when she was 20 but she looks super feminine and healthy, real curvy body. And yes, I don't see any changes in face in terms looking like as a cat lady or those sucked in cheeks like Demi Moore suddenly has. So yes, I don't see that.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,316) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't know if you're being sarcastic or ignorant. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:53)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,315) by Zachariah from Croatia How do you know that she had work done? Because, for example, I can (like others as well) see that Demi indeed had work done. With Mariah - I can't see that. Please explain. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:49) this is a reply to message 110,314

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,314) by Dove from United States I was thinking about Mariah Carey and how she still looks really young. I'm approaching that age where women start "needing" to get injectables and I'm trying to decide what kind of woman I'm going to be. Then I started thinking about famous women who are choosing to age naturally. I saw some pictures of Pamela Anderson and I thought she was still really beautiful. Drew Barrymore, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Silverstone. They're all still really beautiful. Then I thought, "They're lying to us, we don't need that stuff." Then I thought about Demi Moore and Mariah Carey who have had work done and they're really beautiful too, just in a different way. I think a big reason to want to look younger is if you're trying to attract a younger man. I feel like someone would still be attracted to an older woman who looks her age, though. Do all men prefer younger women? Pamela Anderson still got a man and he seems to really like her. I've always been okay with lasers and chemical peels but injectables kind of scare me because if they're not done right they can make a person look worse. I'm glad Mariah is looking her best for this era but it must be so much pressure. I wouldn't mind if she started aging after this era. Not that my opinion matters but I was thinking about how people notice famous people's (and everyone's) appearance. I think a person's personality has a lot to do with their beauty too. There are some celebrities (and regular people) who are so ugly on the inside that nothing could make them beautiful no matter how they look on the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 14:55)

Pride and inner peace (110,309) by Zachariah from Croatia She holds a significant place in the hearts of many within the LGBTQ+ community - not just as a pop icon, but as a symbol of resilience, self-expression, and empowerment. As a straight man, I could not relate to that aspect but as a child of war, being tortured and held captive along with my parents back in early 90's in the Balkans, her lyrics and her music was a saving grace under a blanket in a shelter while bombs were falling around us. I think that's why I love Butterfly album more than any because it was the first album released after the war that I could enjoy in freedom. I am watching the Hero performance and my tears are just falling down my face. Such a beautiful moment. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 19:29)

Sugar Sweet (110,223) by Zachariah from Croatia I am not so surprised. The song is good but she should have released it by her self and not with two features in a song. Video should have been already out and not with a delay. And the last, it should have been released as a third single. Type Dangerous is epic comparing to this and the single after should have been an extension of it but with a more powerful beat. Caution was also missing the song with a strong powerful beat. A No No was close but then, not quite. So, if I was on her team or whoever is dealing with her now - release the SS alone, video out now, and next single should be a ballad but ballad that will stop the world in their feet and be amazed. Otherwise, this album is going to be missed from the horizon. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 17:29) this is a reply to message 110,220

Sugar Sweet (110,220) by BFF from United States I am a little surprised by the performance of "Sugar Sweet" in comparison to "Type Dangerous". I prefer "Type Dangerous", but "Sugar Sweet" seemed like something that would have more mass appeal. "Type Dangerous" seemed to do relatively well with radio airplay initially, but I guess that doesn't really count for much these days? (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 15:28)

Sugar Sweet (110,214) by Zachariah from Croatia That was my thought when E=MC2 came out and Migrate not being released as a single. I am still mad about it to this day. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 08:01) this is a reply to message 110,213

Sugar Sweet (110,213) by Bobby A from United States I listened to Honey yesterday and wondered why a song like Honey wasn't released as 1st single or 2nd single. I know it may be difficult for MC to sing high and low notes with riffs and runs with ease now, but there are ways around it with letting the beat of a song standout more letting her voice "ride along to the beat". Songs like Take Your Time by the SOS Band and Call Me by Sky are examples of female singers letting their voices "ride along to the beat". I remember hearing these two songs on the radio growing up and instantly was hooked by the female singer's voice on top of the beat. Here is Sky's Call Me. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 01:19)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,204) by Terna from Nigeria Exactly, and it makes sense, who stays the same even in just one year? That's why I responded to you. The intent behind one's messages here is always discernible whether good or bad even if disguised as "love" or "concern". (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 19:57)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,193) by Zachariah from Croatia And I just responded to a message where she was being slammed for not staying the same. I just realized; am I the OG that everyone is being mad at? (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 110,178

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,178) by Terna from Nigeria Getting uncomfortable I see. Lol. I wasn't the one who insinuated or brought it up, I just responded to his message and acknowledged he got that part, he's black too as he stated and gets it. "Butterfly" never did the numbers "Music Box" and "Daydream" did for that one fact. It is an R&B/HipHop album. Facts. But look at how highly rated that album is in contemporary music today. It is also her "Magnum Opus", she achieved her best work, being her authentic true self. I haven't "crowned" myself poison or anything negative here, as you put it, I'm not the one spitting vitriol out at Mariah here masked as "OG Love", from the OG Coven. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 11:47)
