About Sascha from Germany: ...

German interview (110,463) by Sascha from Germany It's not that bad. She's taking the Karl Lagerfeld route. The author notes that Mariah is listening carefully, apologizes when she nips on her Cola, that she uses irony and laughs a lot. The author sounds rather fond of her and delves a lot into her history and childhood. It's really not a bad article but rather shows everything we already know about how Mariah is today. Plus: The author notes that it's late in the day and the last interview after a whole day of interviews. Mariah is obviously tired and notes herself that she has run out of energy. That context is needed for that last paragraph. The managers asking if she has spoken at all shows that it's really Mariah and the interviewer. No manager by her side overwatching the questions and answers. In context this shows that Mariah is free in the interview ("managers have given up trying to control her").

German interview (110,457) by Max from Germany A German newspaper just ran a bizarre interview with Mariah. Something's seriously wrong with her. Here's the final paragraph: After our conversation, Mariah Carey is formally escorted home; her assistant leads her to the private area of her suite. It seems as if she even has to take the singer to bed. Her managers ask me if she's even spoken; they, too, have apparently given up trying to control the diva. Carey shuffles up the spiral staircase in slow motion. We wave to each other one last time; she says she enjoyed it, "very much". (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 13:39)

Sugar Sweet video (110,346) by Sascha from Germany I love the song and its multiple hooks. I also adore the features and think they add a lot. Sugar Sweet is now taking off at Urban radio. Let's wait and see how it does there. It might build a nice audience there and maybe a video will come when that has happened. There will be no big hit most probably but maybe a nice little one.

Sugar Sweet video (110,345) by Dove from United States I don't think a music video is going to help Sugar Sweet. It's a cute song but I don't think it's single material. How I determine that is, "If I heard this song on the radio, would I listen to it or change the station?" It's like an Underneath the Stars kind of song. It works in a sequence with other songs but not by itself. If they do a video it should just be a low budget "fun" video. But I feel like the time for that has already passed. The song is too simple to stand on its own. It needed a video. It could have been anything. A kid's birthday party on a boat. Anything happy and sunny. I would choose the best song off the album and put my money and power behind that one. And release it closer to the release of the album. Like a couple of weeks before. (I hope it wasn't Type Dangerous but I'm afraid it probably was.) I don't think it's going to chart on the mainstream charts though. Regardless of how good the song and video is. For that you have to appeal to the young kids because they're the ones that listen to songs on repeat and determine what's "in". The Ariana duets would have helped like 10 years ago but she's already on her way out. (Unless she makes some kind of comeback.) Taylor Swift has maintained (and grown) her fanbase but I'm not sure exactly how she did it. A part of it is probably because she comes across as a generous and fair person. And the music is good too. She knows how to capture a moment/feeling. (Wednesday 6 August 2025; 08:21)

Sugar Sweet (110,025) by Sascha from Germany Song is out and a sweet sweet bop. (Friday 25 July 2025; 07:48)

One Heart, One Voice (109,567) by Sascha from Germany I don't completely disagree with you but you don't decide who has a place in the fandom and who doesn't. (Wednesday 2 July 2025; 08:10) this is a reply to message 109,563

One Heart, One Voice (109,563) by Bill from the UK As I said before, chill out for a change. You'll notice you've made a bit of a fool of yourself as I didn't say I could, although I can sing "the way, hey" from Hero without needing backing tracks, backing singers, auto cues, lip syncing, lighting, and an army of men to navigate me across the stage. I'd direct you to this really good platform called YouTube. From there, type in the search box "Mariah Carey cover/karaoke" or words to that effect. You'll be presented with an almost inexhaustible list of unprofessional singers, amateurs, and hobbyists who can carry the tune of Hero just as well as Mariah did back in 1993. Mariah *was* one of the greatest vocalists of a generation, but sadly isn't any longer. How or why that happened will only ever be speculation because she herself will not come clean about what happened to her voice, and continues this masquerade of being this phenomenally good singer when she simply isn't any more. If you genuinely can't see that, then you are just another delusional yass queen who has no place in the fandom, as you're part of the problem as much as she is, for continuing on the facade.

MC vs MC (109,558) by Sascha from Germany I love Miley's album. It is great. But EGYEL is not really contemporary. It‘s as throwback 90s as it can be. (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 14:07) this is a reply to message 109,547

MC vs MC (109,547) by Tijl from Belgium Miley Cyrus just released het latest little effort: "Every Girl You've Ever Loved". And truly, this is the type of song Mariah should release if she wishes to skyrocket back to the top of the charts. Fresh, relevant, contemporary and relatable. Not to mention this video has a proper star in a cameo role. "Dangerous Type" [sic] is on my daily playlist as I am a loyal fan. Miley's song got me instantly. Quite the difference.

TD is doing what its supposed to do (109,557) by Sascha from Germany "Believe" is Chers biggest hit ever by a wide margin and put her back on the map globally. It made me a hardcore Cher fan in 1999 and introduced me to her discography which is very diverse anyway. She went from flower power to narrative Pop, from Disco to Rock to AC to Believe. Mariah as an artist is very different because she hardly diverts from her main style. I would not want a David Guetta feature from her even if smashed.

TD is doing what its supposed to do (109,550) by jaker20 from US It got a lot of attention, it charted, got a solid video, it fits right into her catalog. It's still rising on radio so it will out stream all her newer pops songs from the last 10 years. Fans are always waiting for Mariah to turn out a Believe-moment. But honestly that song ruined Cher's discography. It is so disconnected from what she's done before it, and didn't help her catalog as a whole. TD complements the rest of Mariah's recent work, and flows right with the rest of her classics. I think it's going to keep growing on streaming and in a few months, it will pass all her songs since #Beautiful. The song did what it had to do which is bring her back to the new era, even though its not an instant hit. Not a lot of her contemporaries can do the same on a solo song. (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 02:36)
