About Zachariah from Croatia:

MC 2017? (113,956) by Zachariah from Croatia You don't have to love everything Mariah does to be a fan. But saying it's "so many things" without actually explaining what those things are doesn't really say much. If your feelings have changed, that's valid. I'm just curious what specifically changed for you. (Friday 12 June 2026; 11:32) this is a reply to message 113,954

MC 2017? (113,954) by TJ from Norway I'm not a real fan. Bla bla bla. It's not only her last album. It's so many things. I didn't say that I never going to check out her next project. But it's not how it used to be. (Friday 12 June 2026; 07:23)

Everything Fades Away (113,955) by Zachariah from Croatia I would strongly disagree. I've been a Mariah fan since 1990, so I've followed her live performances for decades. Trust me, I know the difference between when she's singing live, when she's using backing tracks, and when she's fully lip-syncing. Not every performance is 100% live, but it's also not as simple as saying "95% lipped". (Friday 12 June 2026; 07:47) this is a reply to message 113,953

Everything Fades Away (113,953) by Lighty from China The Summertime Ball was like 95% lipped lol. (Thursday 11 June 2026; 17:30)

Everything Fades Away (113,952) by Zachariah from Croatia Mariah didn't lose her voice, she lost the expectation that she should sound exactly like she did at 20. The Summertime Ball performance proved she can still sing and entertain at an elite level. Critics often focus on old viral clips or isolated moments. The Summertime Ball showed she can still sing many of her classic songs and connect with the audience. (Thursday 11 June 2026; 15:29) this is a reply to message 113,950

Everything Fades Away (113,950) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, sadly everything fades away, but she's not in the age of Cher or Mick Jagger. Lol. And Cher and Mick are still rocking. They have still the drive, which I find fascinating. I understand that her voice is gone or can't be like in the past. It was out of this world anyway and will never be heard again. I'm proud and happy to have witnessed her prime and the whole 90ies. Then later "the comeback" with TEOM. But I see some difficulties with her current image. She could be relatable again, if she wants to. I hope she releases the grunge album. I still wonder how it would sound with her Daydream voice. It's so crazy to think about it, but positive crazy.

MC 2017? (113,946) by Zachariah from Croatia You've been a fan since 1990, yet one album erased 35 years of support? Sounds less like loyalty and more like nostalgia with a volume knob. If the "true Mariah" only exists in the past, maybe you're a fan of your memories rather than the artist herself. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 18:21) this is a reply to message 113,943

MC 2017? (113,943) by TJ from Norway I'm all the same. I've been standing by her side since 1990, but her latest album was the last drop for me. I bought my self a new sound system with dvd/cd player. I now enjoy her old music, and what I will call the "true Mariah", and yes, I will keep on posting here. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 16:38)

MC 2017? (113,940) by Zachariah from Croatia I get why you feel that way. A lot of fans compare current performances to her peak years, and that can affect the excitement around new releases. But I'd be careful about attributing her interview style or stage presence to medication or a health condition unless she has publicly confirmed that. Artists evolve, and so do their voices, performance choices, and public personas. For some fans, the newer music and occasional performances still hold value, while others prefer the earlier eras. It's okay to be disappointed, but I think it's possible to discuss that without assuming details about her health. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 12:03) this is a reply to message 113,939

MC 2017? (113,939) by Dave from USA For me, I have already lost my excitement for another MC album. At least for now. All the promotion in the world can't change the fact that she can't sing/perform. She comes off as zombie like in interviews now. Im guessing it could be maintenance medication for her disorder, which is completely understandable, but is it worth damaging her legacy further or getting a shell of what she used to be? The excitement always return the closer she gets to releasing new music, but as soon as I see her lackluster non live performance, it just ruins the momentum. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 05:02)

Where is the key for stamina, motivation and good music? (113,910) by Zachariah from Croatia I think that's a bit unfair. We only see a very small part of her life through media and social networks, so it's hard to know what truly motivates her or who she spends time with. An artist's value isn't measured only by how often they release new music or whether they're constantly in the spotlight. Everyone goes through different phases in their career and personal life. It's fine to prefer artists who are actively creating new work, but that doesn't necessarily mean someone has lost their talent or motivation. Sometimes what we see publicly doesn't reflect what's happening behind the scenes. Respectfully, none of us really know her personal motivations or the people she spends time with. Public appearances don't tell the whole story. Talent doesn't disappear just because an artist isn't releasing music at the pace some fans would like, and comparing different artists' careers isn't always a fair measure of success. You're assuming a lot based on limited public appearances. Being seen dining out doesn't define a person's character, work ethic, or talent. Artists have different career paths, and not everyone needs to follow the same model as Kylie Minogue, Patti LaBelle, or Madonna to remain relevant or successful.

Where is the key for stamina, motivation and good music? (113,905) by nancy from Switzerland It is better if MC hangs out with less superficial people. Those encounters have a impact on her image, stamina and her motivation lately. True legends are known for their talent not only because of their dresses. Kylie Minogue, Patti Labelle, Madonna still are making new music. It seems that the only motivation is her looks and to sing her old stuff. And it is not even live anymore most of the time.The only presence that we see is when she gets out to eat. I hope she finds the key to reopen her talent and her motivation.

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,889) by Zachariah from Croatia If an artist has one song that returns to No. 1 globally every single year for decades, that's not irrelevance - that's cultural permanence. Most artists would love to have one song with that level of longevity. Mariah has an entire career plus the biggest modern Christmas song. Being relevant every December for 30+ years is still being relevant. (Friday 29 May 2026; 18:46)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,868) by Zachariah from Croatia Welcome Syed. Glad to see a new member here. (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 17:26) this is a reply to message 113,864

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,864) by Syed from UK Usually I'd be replying to everyone individually but I don't want to clog up the feed and detract from what's most important, so I'll say my thankyou's to everyone here if that's ok. Firstly Lambi. Thank you so much for this, you've put a smile on my face. I was reading some of your recent previous posts earlier and was thinking how wonderfully you write, and in depth. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future. Chicago Lamb, really appreciate your thoughtful message. Thank you. Lighty, my apologies, I got confused, thinking your message was for me. Thank you for clarifying and for the welcome. Lainsky, I was just remembering my love for Manila (I was briefly there in 2023) when your message popped up. (Monday 25 May 2026; 21:21)

Mariah cover songs (113,801) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Wouldn't that be embarrassing? (Tuesday 12 May 2026; 02:01)

Mariah cover songs (113,800) by Zachariah from Croatia She should do that but live. Like MTV live. Just her vocal, piano and guitar. It should be called "Stripped Covers". Or "Stripped and covered". Or something like that. (Monday 11 May 2026; 19:00) this is a reply to message 113,798

Mariah cover songs (113,798) by TheButterflyReturns from United States A covers compilation album is an excellent idea. Mariah has so many great and lesser known cover songs, and it would be great to have them all in one place. 1. Don't Play That Song (Live) 2. I'll Be There 3. Just Be Good To Me (live from Music Box Tour or Daydream Tour) 4. Without You 5. My Prayer 6. Endless Love 7. Open Arms 8. The Beautiful Ones 9. If You Only Knew (live) 10. Got to Be Real (live with Patti LaBelle) 11. I Still Believe 12. Sweetheart 13. Do You Know Where You're Going To? 14. Against All Odds 15. Out Here On My Own 16. Didn't Mean to Turn You On 17. Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (No Rap Version) 18. Bringin' on the Heartbreak 19. You And I (Live) 20. With You I Am Born Again (live with John Legend) 21. Help Me Make It Through the Night (from "Tennessee") 22. I Want to Know What Love Is 23. One More Try 24. Lullaby of Birdland (live) 25. Don't Explain (live) 26. My Love This could easily be a two-disc compilation, and I bet Mariah has some others buried in the vault. (Monday 11 May 2026; 16:31)

Best performance of "I Still Believe" (113,743) by Zachariah from Croatia Absolutely perfect. Thank you for this. (Thursday 30 April 2026; 13:57) this is a reply to message 113,741

Best performance of "I Still Believe" (113,741) by Billy from Greece Gorgeous Mariah flawlessly performing "I Still Believe" in 1998. (Thursday 30 April 2026; 10:48)

The Tiffany performances (113,654) by Zachariah from Croatia I watched a few clips and total respect her for singing live. Did it sound perfect? No. But the fact she went to sing live shows that she is comfortable with her voice. It was something else bothering her - or medication or just constantly watching the lyrics that she couldn´t focus on singing. Up beat songs she delivered much better.

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,607) by Zachariah from Croatia Your last sentence are my thoughts excatly. She is not in problems at all. (Monday 13 April 2026; 06:29) this is a reply to message 113,601

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,601) by Lambi from USA She had been upgrading that penthouse with the foreknowledge of selling it in the future. You want a return after investing in something for that long. She hasn't been living there for a while. She simply has no need for it, therefore it does not really make sense to keep it, especially if it's a consistent cash drainage and not generating revenue. Liquidating this property is a power move. Mariah is as smart now as she was then, when she intuitively knew not to give away her publishing for $5K. Same way she knew to cancel something as minor as Rocky's naive Amazon dog order because dem kids already had dogs and everything they could realistically need. I read her as financially savvy that knows how to 10x her wealth. She likely has stocks, bonds, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and liquidated investments most of us are never ever going to be in the loop on. With the scale she operates at, she would have been broke a long time ago if she did not understand how to make money work and compound. The fact she surmounted something as astronomical as a $27 million asset is itself the real flex and honestly pretty freaking impressive. But to keep the spirit of chill, she recently posted photos from a colossal private yacht migrating to yet another colossal private plane. That does not suggest financial strain. If anything, it strongly suggests the complete opposite. (Monday 13 April 2026; 01:45)

Mariah is late (113,560) by Zachariah from Croatia In April back in 2017 in Vienna she was an hour late with her concert but I expected that so I wasn´t upset or offended. I mean, if you don't know her by now. (Wednesday 8 April 2026; 13:28)

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,525) by Lighty from China At least Glitter is better than A Christmas Melody in my very humble opinion. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 17:05)

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,523) by Zachariah from Croatia It is definitely a cult movie. Especially amongst LGBTQIA+ community. It is the same with Crossroads, starring Britney and Zoe Saldana. Guilty pleasure. If the punishment is mockery by haters - I will gladly endure it and embrace it.

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,522) by Bobby A from United States Glitter wasn't the right movie for MC because she didn't need her first movie to be similar to her life. MC needed a comedy like Madonna's Desperately Seeking Susan. MC's acting skills are better in comedies. Can we honestly say Glitter is now a cult film for the many reasons why it is such a love/hate movie? (Thursday 2 April 2026; 10:41)

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,518) by Zachariah from Croatia It's a bit harsh to say that it was embarrassing to watch Glitter. I don't agree with that. I enjoyed it very much. Her small role in "The Bachelor" with Chris O'Donnell and Renée Zellweger- she was good there, basically playing the character similar to her role as Raychel from Wisegirls. And let´s be real - neither Mariah or Whitney are actresses. Mariah was pushed to hard to work and the result was rushed. (Wednesday 1 April 2026; 14:30) this is a reply to message 113,514

Glitter - my wish for MC in 2026 (113,514) by TJ from Norway "And, yes, Webmaster, the acting in 'Glitter' is on par with 'The Bodyguard' and 'Mahogany'." You can't compare the acting in Glitter to The Bodyguard. WH was clearly a better actress than Mariah. It was embarrassing to watch Glitter. As we say in Norway: Your eyes are the first thing to go blind. (Wednesday 1 April 2026; 10:40)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,462) by Giovanni from USA Mariah needs someone like you on her team. I like your thinking and yes I definitely want another Christmas album. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 15:33)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,460) by Zachariah from Croatia 1. Do the vocal surgery. Even if it means losing her high pitches, I really don't care. Talent can not be surgically removed and she can sing in a different voice. 2. Release SUD. Hard. With rejuvenated self. With a new voice. 3. Tone down the diva attitude and connect with every day people. 4. New Christmas hit with rock vibes. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 14:28)

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,401) by Zachariah from Croatia Glitter is an epic album that brings me so much joy and hype because it is so dancy and all that. I wouldn't mind if she polishes some songs and makes a new video for some. (Sunday 15 March 2026; 13:25) this is a reply to message 113,399

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,399) by Bobby A from United States We better start saving our coins because when it goes up for presale, it will probably sell out across all variants. I hope MC partners with Fandago or AMC to show Glitter in theaters for two weekends in September. Many Gen Z's probably have not seen Glitter or heard the album. By way, why don't Lambs refer to the Glitter album as a soundtrack? We always say the Glitter album. (Sunday 15 March 2026; 02:11)

Jesus I Do (#11 Gospel) / Nothing Is Impossible (#25 Adult Pop) Billboard (113,375) by Zachariah from Croatia I never knew this so I was caught by surprise. And I love that shade has been thrown. (Wednesday 11 March 2026; 18:00) this is a reply to message 113,372

Jesus I Do (#11 Gospel) / Nothing Is Impossible (#25 Adult Pop) Billboard (113,372) by Belinda Vasquez from USA I'm not quite sure why nobody is talking about this on the board right now, but currently on Billboard, Jesus I Do has reached a new peak of #11 on Billboard Gospel Airplay and Nothing Is Impossible continues to climb this week at #25 on Billboard Adult Pop Airplay. Also, the fact that Jesus I Do was nominated for two NAACP Awards last month and nobody discussed that on this board either nor a news post about it is disheartening. (Tuesday 10 March 2026; 15:33)
