About Zachariah from Croatia:

Play This Song (111,818) by Zachariah from Croatia Maybe if they did a more interesting video, but yeah, it is just [too] common. (Sunday 12 October 2025; 12:13) this is a reply to message 111,816

Play This Song (111,816) by Edward from USA The song is flat, it lacks and some vocal moment. "Leave The Door Open" is on different level. I'm surprised they chose that as a single. (Sunday 12 October 2025; 02:55)

Mariah and Gamma (111,784) by Zachariah from Croatia I hope so too. I would love a video for Nothing Is Impossible and for I Won't Allow It. (Friday 10 October 2025; 09:32) this is a reply to message 111,781

Mariah and Gamma (111,781) by jaker20 from US I just hope they release more videos. Even Caution had 3 videos released, and i'm sure Mariah can do more if she really wants to. Tate's You Broke Me First is literally just her walking in front of buildings, I don't think that's a costly video, especially now that Mariah's independent, she hopefully have a bit more options on how things get done and decided. (Thursday 9 October 2025; 22:55)

Numbers (111,728) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she is not bothered with numbers but I think she made this album as a pure art to get nominated for a Grammy again. She want that recognition and I think she would be happy with that. I wasn't expecting huge numbers and this is just fine. Is someone betraying her? I don't think so. But if it is, I think she would handle it pretty good now. Grunge album would be a great surprise to release and I bet that it could have give Mariah another number one record. I am sure of it.

Help please (HFIA booklet) (111,686) by Zachariah from Croatia She looked like she in late 20's there. I was shocked. (Friday 3 October 2025; 15:14) this is a reply to message 111,682

Help please (HFIA booklet) (111,682) by Dove from United States I like her sexy looks but I actually really loved what she was wearing on Jennifer Hudson's show. (Friday 3 October 2025; 09:57)

Am I "Here For It All"? (111,609) by Zachariah from Croatia Can we now say that your mouth had been shut? Just kidding. I was waiting for your review and was pretty sure it is going to be a bad one. Pleasantly surprised that it isn't. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 08:40) this is a reply to message 111,602

Am I "Here For It All"? (111,602) by Edward from USA I wanted to really sit with "Here For It All" before posting my thoughts, and now that I've listened to it about seven times, I can say I'm pleasantly surprised, in the best way of course. First off, the vocals. Mariah might not be belting like she did in the '90s, but she's definitely not whispering either. Her voice sounds fuller and more present, she's singing in her full voice again, and that's honestly so refreshing. The whole album gives me flashes of her early releases, and I love that. Putting "Type Dangerous" and "Sugar Sweet" in the context of the album, I'm really happy they're part of it, they both bring a nice balance to the record. And while the lyrics of "My Love" are pretty simple, Mariah's straightforward delivery is just beautiful. It reminds me of the emotion and melody she brought to her early covers, heartfelt, effortless, and deeply felt. I'm definitely loving myself some "My Love". For me, the standout track is "Nothing Is Impossible". It's honest, vulnerable, and that whistle at the end? Ethereal. Perfection. And just to clear it up: that "survived a gruesome fall" line isn't about a literal fall, it's clearly about an emotional one, which makes it even more powerful. So please, stop thinking she needs to go to the ER due to some broken bones from 2014. I was a little nervous about "Jesus I Do" before hearing it, I thought it might turn into a scream-fest, but wow wow wow, they pulled it off. Their voices blend so well together, with its catchy chorus, it is, I believe, easily one of the highlights of the album, and Jesus knows that sometimes "I Don't". Now, let's talk about the song "Here For It All." It's such a beautiful and heartfelt song. But as I said to my dear friend Randy, it would've been stronger if it had faded around the 4-minute mark. Not because what follows is bad, but because the vibe shifts so much it feels like a completely different piece that could've worked better as an interlude. I actually faded it myself at that point and it sounds amazing that way, like a perfect ending. I'm also relieved the Mariah solo version of "Sugar Sweet" didn't make it into the standard album. Just Mariah singing her parts with the chorus on repeat without Kehlani's and Shenseea's verses doesn't really work for me. If she'd sung the whole thing, including their parts, that would've been a different story and probably fantastic. And for anyone thinking this might be a farewell album, I think it's not. This feels more like liberation album. What I hear is a woman who's embraced where she is, let go of all the expectations, and is focused on the art, not the charts. It's her most honest and cohesive album in over a decade, one you can play from start to finish without skipping a track, just like the old days. Also, that chorus from "Nothing Is Impossible"? It seems to be living rent-free in my head right now. The wait was so worth it. With "Here For It All", Mariah seems to have freed herself from fear, from pressure, from the weight of "what could've been" and I love this album for that. So, I asked myself: Am I Here For It All?, and a dramatic and resounding answer came instantly: You're damn right I am. (Monday 29 September 2025; 18:39)

HFIA (111,590) by Zachariah from Croatia I really don't want to step on your feathers or anything but being 4 in 1994, you can't appreciate this work of art because you didn't grow up with her through Butterfly era and teen years for example and similar so I get that your ear isn't developed for this. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 23:30) this is a reply to message 111,585

HFIA (111,585) by Can Tavukcu from Germany I really don't want to step on anyone's feathers or anything, but I had to really listen to a lot of tracks from previous albums because I was wondering why I loved her since 1994 so when I was four years old, except for two songs (Mi and Nothing is Impossible) I don't love it. I accept and respect the development she had but at least for me it is unfortunately not sitting right. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 19:48)

The day after (111,558) by Zachariah from Croatia I am listening the album since yesterday from "Mi" all the way to "Here for it all" and it is just like a good feel book with a nice ending or a nice meal with a perfect desert at the end. Variations are endless. I am so glad that this album was released on September 26. That date was always related to loss of my daughter when she was only one month old and yesterday, instead of feeling sad I had something else to be happy about. Thank you M for that. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 16:30)

And here it was (111,520) by Zachariah from Croatia Nothing Is Impossible is my favorite. It is on loop. So beautiful. (Friday 26 September 2025; 18:58) this is a reply to message 111,515

And here it was (111,515) by TJ from Norway So, what do you all think? I think there's a couple of songs that are OK, but I am not sure about the rest of it. The title song is definitely the best one. (Friday 26 September 2025; 17:09)

Article: Album review: Mariah is "Here for It All" on new album (111,494) by Zachariah from Croatia I have to wait for ten more days because it is not available here in Croatia yet in physical form. I tried to order it online but the shipping was enormous. But I am happy for everyone else to hear it soon. [Webmaster: You can listen to the album on YouTube.] (Friday 26 September 2025; 09:33)

Article: Mariah Carey announces new single "Play This Song" (111,421) by Zachariah from Croatia This is very promising. Super proud and excited to be a lamb these days. (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 09:23)

Good critics for the new album (111,383) by Zachariah from Croatia A few more days and we will be united. (Sunday 21 September 2025; 23:45) this is a reply to message 111,379

Good critics for the new album (111,379) by Bobby A from United States Edward, this is it. People will be talking Friday morning on the social media and radio stations. I just feel it. To me, this feels like the frenzy and excitement that happened when MJ released his album Dangerous. When MC is focused and in her personal zone, she creates beautiful music. (Sunday 21 September 2025; 20:15)

Looking back on Glitter (111,345) by Zachariah from Croatia I would have love that Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) was first single. Then Loverboy but in MJ Cole main remix. And then Lead The Way. But yes, that album is amazing. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 22:21) this is a reply to message 111,335

Looking back on Glitter (111,335) by T from USA After Rainbow, and the D, F, H, H, first singles maybe 2001 was the moment she should've changed it up and not been so predictable with a lesser version of a first up-tempo single (sure if the original Firecracker was released that would've been better). But maybe the first single should've been her first single ballad since Vision of Love. New label, a reset. In hindsight I would've picked Lead The Way. It's Mariah's favorite song on the album and it's arguably the best song on the album. It would've won over the general public too, and that would've had a positive effect on the movie. Second single could've been, Loverboy. Then If We, followed by Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. Glitter was the original wrong single choices album. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 14:49)

Vegas residency (111,279) by Zachariah from Croatia Trust me, nothing would make me happier than that. I would pay someone to go to Vegas and to see her live, just out of joy. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 23:10) this is a reply to message 111,264

Vegas residency (111,264) by Edward from USA Jamie, you've set yourself up for a "I really hope she sings live this time, just so we can finally shut you up". I got one of those from Zachariah, and it was awesome. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 14:50)

What's wrong with Mariah (111,278) by Zachariah from Croatia I saw that and I think it is beyond fake. I think she is just afraid that she won't fall like she did shooting different version of the video Beautiful. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 23:06) this is a reply to message 111,269

What's wrong with Mariah (111,269) by BFF from United States This video claims she had hip replacement surgery back in 2000? That sounds pretty outlandish - having hip replacement at the age of 30/31. What possibly could have been happening at that time to cause such a surgery? Doesn't make any sense to me. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 16:28)

Vegas residency (111,257) by Zachariah from Croatia How do you know that? (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 10:24) this is a reply to message 111,256

Vegas residency (111,256) by Jamie from UK Her voice can definitely handle it as she won't be singing live unfortunately. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 09:39)

Article: Mariah Carey announces Las Vegas Holiday shows (111,231) by Zachariah from Croatia I would go in a second. I adore Christmas and this is gonna be a hit. She is always in her element for that time of the year. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 10:14)

Mariah in Brazil (111,190) by Zachariah from Croatia Ugh, sorry to hear that. Was it really that bad? So strange that she has these fluctuations while performing. I know her motto in this era is to do whatever she wants and "do" her, but I think this in not the right way. (Monday 15 September 2025; 09:29) this is a reply to message 111,184

Mariah in Brazil (111,184) by Pedro from Brazil Yes, the look was great, but the concert was terrible. Nobody enjoyed it, and people thought it was awful how she didn't interact with the audience, kept staring at the monitors, and left the stage multiple times for long outfit changes. She barely sang, didn't even try to move around the stage, and now she's been getting a lot of backlash from both the media and fans, many of whom left halfway through the show. I just can't understand this lack of energy in her concerts lately. It feels like she doesn't even want to be there. I don't remember any Mariah concert ever being this bad before. Everyone in Brazil was disappointed. (Monday 15 September 2025; 00:10)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,171) by Zachariah from Croatia I agree with every word. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 23:59) this is a reply to message 111,166

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,166) by Giovanni from USA I love your profile pic, I love the Butterfly album and era. Mariah looked her best during that era. I would say she sounded her best but some will disagree and that's okay. I miss her Butterfly voice so much I wish she had recorded another album that year haha. Something about her tone and the rasp in her voice especially in "Honey" was so sexy and angelic at the same time. I'm sure even Mariah wishes she could have her Butterfly voice back. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 19:05)

Thank God I found you (111,123) by Zachariah from Croatia Song is over produced and the mix of the vocals is overwhelming. It is [too] much. The remix was much better. (Friday 12 September 2025; 08:11) this is a reply to message 111,118

Thank God I found you (111,118) by Giovanni from USA I love TGIFY, it's actually one of my favorites from Rainbow. 98 Degrees did their thing but I would have left Joe as he does nothing for the song. I can understand why some may not like it or call it unforgettable but the song was a hit so it is what it is. (Friday 12 September 2025; 01:28)

Glitterversary (111,104) by Zachariah from Croatia Happy Glitterversary everyone. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 09:36)

Golden ensemble and boots (111,086) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she looked great. Boots and jumpsuit were epic. Everything was on point. She is doing her, as she said. If she doesn't want to walk like a maniac all over the stage, like Beyonce, then she will not do it. (Wednesday 10 September 2025; 08:54) this is a reply to message 111,082

Golden ensemble and boots (111,082) by Lambi from USA To be honest, I liked the short jumpsuit, because I hated the leotard moments from 2017. But I will say this VMA jumpsuit is a little too short. The right length was one she wore at Brighton Pride, purple and blue gradient ensemble. Though, I'm happy no one is roasting her like when Madonna wears something outrageous because Mariah actually looks good. The "give it up" commentaries are nowhere to be found. (Wednesday 10 September 2025; 00:40)

VMA medley (111,012) by Zachariah from Croatia Yeah, and most of it was live, which I am very happy about. (Monday 8 September 2025; 10:29) this is a reply to message 111,008

VMA medley (111,008) by Lara from Middle East I loved it. How she blended the songs together. I'm sure most of the audience (who are not familiar with her repertoire) wouldn't noticed she sings the song on the background music of another one. I love that the priority was given to the musical performance. They had some elements of her videos but as usual Mariah is very slow on stage. I don't mind that, since she gave a solid performance, my issue is that she keeps wearing outfits you expect some dancing and movements in them. I wished she would switch to something more casual. I don't know how the general public will like her performance since nowadays it's less about the music and more about the energy and movement . Personally, I'm happy with it. (Monday 8 September 2025; 06:50)

Winner (111,009) by Zachariah from Croatia Such a great speech and performance. Congrats girl. (Monday 8 September 2025; 07:48) this is a reply to message 111,000

Winner (111,000) by Tameka walker from United states Congratulations to Mariah for her [MTV VMA] win, congratulations again. Your loving lambly. (Monday 8 September 2025; 01:39)

Daydream (110,959) by Zachariah from Croatia "Forever" live from Madison SG was my obsession when I was a teen and still is today. I really love the fluidity of that song and how she sang is so effortlessly. (Friday 5 September 2025; 14:57) this is a reply to message 110,957

Daydream (110,957) by Lambi from USA Interesting take. I would let Open Arms stay. It's simply well done. Mariah tastefully made it hers without veering off too far away from the original melody. Long Ago and Daydream Interlude can go though and I'd swap them with One Night and Slipping Away. They would've gone well with all the mid-tempos. Slipping Away is truly that song that was unjustly scrapped. One Night has the most beautiful intro. She exuded Stevie Wonder's influence on this record. It's just straight up fire. A perfect ode to your baby sisters and nieces. I also feel like she had Alison in mind when she wrote it. She honestly kind of over recorded in Daydream and truly mastered the art of album making, because even the scrapped tracks are phenomenal. When the hell do "throwaways" sound this freaking great? Daydream Mariah was simply a cut above everyone. She is God's favorite. (Friday 5 September 2025; 12:30)
