My MC 2015 fantasy wish list (48,007) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
(Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:07)

PREFACE

I started out wanting to make or update my previous wish list to realizing that I'm not really that hung up on Mariah accomplishing more than she already has. That's not to say that I will not celebrate in her future commercial endeavors, obviously. Just that it's not as important as being truly spiritually fulfilled.

I wish that for myself and I pray that for other people that I love and even people I don't know or have a natural liking for. I understand that not everybody is going to get why I feel the need to post this but I would reference Mariah's own expressed Faith and core beliefs and desires since the world first heard 'Vision of Love'. This is who she has always been striving to become. I recently reread Her autobiography: 'The Meaning of Mariah Carey'
and these are some of the thoughts I came away with:

"Hopes, Dreams, Wishes, and Prayers for Mariah Carey:

1. Spiritual Fulfillment
- That she continues to nurture her relationship with God, leaning on Him for guidance, peace, and joy in all aspects of her life.

2. A Godly Marriage
- That she finds a partner who shares her faith, values, and desire to honor God in their union.

3. Healing and Restoration
- That the scars from her past—whether from childhood or past relationships—are fully healed, allowing her to live with peace and joy unshaken by old wounds.

4. Authentic Love and Support
- That she surrounds herself with people who truly love, respect, and support her for who she is, beyond her celebrity persona.

5. Grace to Be Human
- That she is shown grace and understanding by others, allowing her to make mistakes, grow, and evolve without judgment or undue criticism.

6. Freedom from Worldly Pressures
- That she finds liberation from the entertainment industry’s materialistic and superficial values, allowing her to fully embrace her God-given identity.

7. Purposeful Legacy
- That she continues to use her platform and music to inspire others and share the presence of God, as she has done through her Christmas albums and other works.

8. A Loving and Faith-Centered Family
- That her family relationships, including with her children, remain strong, loving, and centered on mutual faith and respect.

9. Unwavering Faith
- That she remains steadfast in her faith, even when faced with life’s challenges, and continues to be a beacon of hope for others.

10. Divine Guidance
- That she discerns God’s will in her decisions, whether in her personal life or professional endeavors, and trusts His plan for her. "

In Jesus Almighty name, Amen.

Sugar Sweet (110,149) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

You may very well be right Andrew, meaning the ring reference is just a metaphor. Getting a ring pop from Nick never did anything for any of the many women he proposed to - least of all Mariah.

He's been adamant he's never gonna marry again because there is too much to lose for him and everything to gain for Mariah. He'd have to stop talking about her for one and that's not happening anytime soon. Mariah's had opportunity to distance herself from him by marrying someone else. Now that she's single, suddenly she's talking about absolutely getting the ring? Those handmaid's Nick keeps are as happy as pigs in shit because of the biological connection to Mariah's kids. I don't think they care anything about a ring if it means Nick gets less attention and opportunities. They live vicariously through him.

To me the lyric comes across as if she sees the "ring" as the prize and not just a trinket or the actual symbol of love and commitment to marriage. It wouldn't have given me pause if she'd said: "Cause I will absolutely get the bling." Part of the reason I'm a fan of Mariah the songwriter is because that's how I've gotten to know glimpses of the person I assume she is in real life at various points. Her writing is always the best when it's personal, when she writes what she knows. Most great writers use their own lives as canvas. So when I can't connect the dots I feel apart from her and I don't enjoy the experience as much.

There are plenty of lyricists who just throw words together and make great songs because of a cute rhyme scheme. But they're not my favorite artists. I don't buy the artist's albums even when I like individual songs. I don't know them - for lack of a better term.

Don't get it twisted, I'm still bumping Sugar Sweet on repeat. I hope she has a solo version with one more verse. In the Type Dangerous' video she's telling on of the castoffs: "No darling" with a huge rock on her middle finger. And in the lyrics she's saying, "They wanna settle down but I just don't trust them. They wanna lock me down but there's no handcuffing." And here she is talking about wanting the ring, expecting it because she deserves it?

Is she trolling or just putting words together that rhyme with no regard to her own personal feeling? With Caution I didn't have to wonder if she was joking around. She either was being clever or heartfelt and I'm sad if she isn't evolving into more of what was so great about her last artistic output. I don't know man. Mariah grew so much lyrically, I just hope she's been encouraged to keep growing and not pressed to only write lite in the same vein of the latest two songs.

Sugar Sweet lyrics: "Cause I will absolutely get the ring"? (110,119) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

@Bobby A, funny you should mention that "It seems like she wants the ring to get married again". Mainly because the particular lyric that's given me pause is: "Cause I will absolutely get the ring" - in the pre-chorus.

I've been under the impression that Mariah has been trolling us for a while. It's like she's hiding behind a persona that simultaneously is non-engaging yet in-our-face bold and it's confusing. It's puzzled me quite a bit and it's part of the reason I've been imploring for her to be authentic no matter what because Caution was being unapologetically her and that's why it's her best project this side of Butterfly - another album era that is and will always remain unmatched. I don't care about the lousy rollout, the work speaks fir itself. One day that album will get it's flowers.

Now, back to the sugar Sweet lyrics. That line about how she will absolutely get the ring came out of nowhere as the rest of the pre-chorus is very generic lyrically, so if she just threw it in there it means that's not where she's actually at. It doesn't scream authentic because she's also been known to say she doesn't believe in the covenant of marriage. So, she's just wants the diamonds? I'm not sure what she's trying to say and I'm a lamb. A casual listener isn't going to question that lyric like oldheads like me. If it's just a throwaway lyric I don't understand the point. Hence why I think she's trolling because I just don't believe she would put it in there and for no reason.

Her interview persona as of late is very non-committal and tropey. She gets asked the same old questions about Christmas, lightning, just superficial stuff in general and she gives the same kinda autopilot answers.

Has Gamma bothered to do focus groups to understand what both the general public and die-hards consider about her? It would seem like they haven't. Mariah's been media trained and was by all accounts of various student up until now. Her public image has been rendered predictable. I don't know if her PR strategy is less-is-more but I'd rather she be on vocal rest than do the same diva-esque Q&As that were inundated with currently.

It's fine for some of the time but when it's all the time? When we know how she's gonna answer before the questions even fully asked? Please stop. With love.

In love with Sugar Sweet (110,077) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

Since I heard the snippet and the full song didn't disappoint. I do hope she's got an MC only version with a second verse because how is she gonna perform it when she's on stage without Kehlani and Sheseea? They have a lot of real estate in the song.

It's a certifiable bop, much more than Type. She's using her comfort zone for the more "poppy" songs now GTFO vocal texture just like on Type. I predict a top 20 BB and depending on how the album performs, even higher. I like that it's an all female collab. Her lyrics, I am marinating on right now. One line gave ne pause but I'm used to Mariah's trolling so it could mean nothing. TikTok is gonna eat this up

Promotion (109,730) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

To Dove with love. I feel the same way about TV spots - Mariah's been meme‑ified into "the Christmas lady", and the usual talk‑show circuit only feeds that caricature. The solution isn't no promo; it's smarter, controlled promo. None of your suggestions or ideas are even anything you under the sun when it comes to Mariah as she used to be a master of promotion. So it's not about reinventing the wheel for her.

1. Curate the setting, not just the questions.
Print or long‑form sit‑downs (think Vanity Fair-style hotel‑suite junkets) let her dictate lighting, pacing, and final cut - exactly how A‑list actors sell a film. When she's relaxed and not dodging shady sound‑bite hunters, the *real* Mariah shines.

2. Cut out the middle‑men - talk to us directly.
Her old website voicemails and 2021 Twitter Spaces were gold because nobody filtered her. A periodic blog/vlog column - short, witty, on her own site or Substack - would reclaim the narrative, showcase that legendary pen, and shut down click‑baiters who use her name for clout.

3. Use the catalog as cinematic ammo.
Outside Christmas, she's barely tapped the power of syncs. Look what "Love Actually" did for AIWFCIY. Carefully placing deep cuts or new tracks in prestige shows, A‑list rom‑coms, or buzzy K‑dramas could bond whole new audiences to her. Gamma should be able to connect her to international Netflix producers. Her music can stand alone as instrumentals. She doesn't always have to give away full tracks. I bet she has unfinished songs just languishing.

4. Cast stories in the videos.
I don't know why Mariah doesn't use her videos as a platform for acting. I mean, she's paying for the whole shindig, might as well live out her inner thespian.

Bottom line: Mariah is the brand. If she controls the platform, curates the visuals, and lets the songs speak through film/TV moments, she sidesteps lazy interview shade and reminds casuals why she's still that girl.

This was a remix of Dove's post. It stands on its own but I just had to jump on it cuz it's a Summer bop

New album (109,729) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

@Lighty. I agree with you because for the past decade, everything Mariah's touched just turned to gold - except new music. It wouldn't be so frustrating if 'Caution' wasn't such an amazing body of work. It's rivaling Butterfly as the album I play from start to finish. Her pen was on fire and I don't know what she's talking about when she complains about her vocal performances in studio or live for that era.

Also, not to nag about you always being from China, but like how did you notice her album rollouts not being as Stellar as they could be? How was she promoted over there - before and after Memoirs? @Bobby A's comment: I'm right there with you on the rollout frustrations - something feels disjointed. But I keep reminding myself that Mariah is Gamma's first true mega‑star test case. She owns her masters and publishing, so unlike a traditional label deal, Gamma has to build - and learn- in real time. That "first‑adapter" growing‑pains phase was always going to be messy. Because of that, the usual promo playbook (predictable collabs, the same talk shows, servicing the same U.S. radio formats) just won't cut it. She needs to lean into moments that only an icon of her stature gets:

• Every stage is a launchpad. When she's at Sandringham for King Charles, or any festival slot, the set list should highlight the new era - fresh single, inventive remix medleys - so casual viewers instantly link that performance to MC16.

• Serve the hungry markets. Regions that still shout for her (Asia, SA, parts of Europe) can't be bypassed. These last four type dangerous remixes were a good idea but should have come out earlier and Team Mariah needs to reach out to more International artists/DJs for future collabs and time the releases so they can actually boost the project when it's hot.

• Treat the show as content. Mariah's humor and behind‑the‑scenes banter are social‑media gold. Build quick IG/TikTok bits into the set changes instead of the usual glam‑touch‑up lull (that she doesn't even need). Fans leave with a memory and a shareable clip.

Bottom line: the catalog sells itself on streaming. Live appearances should be MC16‑first, everything else second. Gamma will fumble a bit, but if Mariah uses every mic and camera to push the new music, the campaign can still hit the highs we all know she's capable of. End rant.

Type: Dangerous | three hating ass heauxs - they don't know the meaning of water nor soap (109,630) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

Well, at least one of just might be JL according to Wendy Williams.

The gist of it is that when JLo came to the radio station for an interview, her people had told Wendy's people that there was no direct eye contact allowed with Jennifer Lopez - which Wendy went right ahead and completely disregarded. (Echoes of Tommy Motorboater.)

The second point was that her people had asked for the bathroom to be cleared meaning nobody goes in and out as long as JLo was at the station. So Wendy had one of her interns guard the bathroom and actually stood on the toilet and would push the door shut (if anyone attempted to enter) until it was JLo's turn to actually use it. And after JLo used said bathroom, they discovered she hadn't washed your hands. I'm guessing probably both the water and soap were untouched meaning not a drop in the sink. Wendy reiterated that it was all true several times as the audience went off in disbelief.

It happened probably two decades ago but Wendy first said it on her tv-show in 2011.

Ever since I randomly remembered this Wendy episode, my list of the 3 hating ass hoes referenced in T:D - that don't know the meaning of water nor soap - has dwindled down to:

1. JLo
2. Jenny, From The Block
3. Jennifer Lopez

These things make me happy. Idc.

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? | Niú fèn (109,626) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

So how could MC remedy that negative online chatter in China? Are there any nationwide tv-shows she could go on live and do a little whistle and riff and talk to some of her "cow dungs"?

That cracks me up so hard, I can't tell you. Niú fèn? Sounds like New Fan and Niú Bi, like Newbie. Where's the "Cow Dung" merch MC? I want the snapback. Not even kidding. Would that sell in China, Lightly? Obviously we'd want it written in Mandarin. Don't let those turtle shits be first, Team Mariah.

I really can't tell you how much I adore your entire response, Lighty. It's gold. Very thorough. I hope M (a.k.a. "Niu Bi") gets to read it somehow, someday. Cowmily Lambs.

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,586) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

Yeah, that's where my mind instantly went. Standard 10-12 songs plus remixes and then the extra handful for the deluxe, potentially after Christmas. Milk the era, girl.

Ooh, and while I'm quoting you, can you share how Mariah's popularity was born in China and how it's evolved? That'd be super interesting to know. Like the story of "Sister Cow" being a term of endearment for her, is that canon of fanfiction? Who coined that? Are lambs in China called calves?

MC sweet 16 promo-direction needs to mirror her vibe (109,583) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

I'm not too bothered about the direction of MC16 as long as it's authentically where Mariah is in her life. That was the beauty of MIAMTEC and my darling "Caution". We all know she's the queen of ballads (love songs and introspective moments) as well as flirty, fun and even risque songs and it all comes together beautifully on every single album she produces. I don't worry about quality so don't anybody get me wrong.

I'm talking about her choosing the right singles that mesh with her current mien whenever she drops them. Type: Dangerous works effortlessly because her "nonchalant" vibe, lately, has been in full effect and the song fits: melodically, lyrically and vocally. Mariah right now is very understated.

The way how a lot people pick dogs that resemble their appearance, these "puppies" from the mother-album need to look and sound like their owner or it will confuse the listeners. Mariah's done that amazingly well with her Christmas projects, she dresses the part, talks the talk and walks the walk. The public eats it up, year after year and the promo goes on autopilot with very few but strategically sound moves. It's easy for her because why? It's authentic, her genuine love of and for Yuletide.

Is anybody picking up what I'm putting down?

Possibly the most melodically void and soulless piece of music I've ever heard (109,582) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

By anyone really, but Mariah especially. I listened to it (ears bleeding the entire time) once and never again will I press play willingly on this Whiny Wally production. If Guantanamo was still operational this "song" would have gone diamond over there. Whomever A&R put this all together needs to be lambasted. Please don't let's ask for a live rendition. Not even ironically.

The good thing is I don't remember a lick of the melody or anything about it beyond how awful it is. Yay T:D AA+ is a great palate cleanser, that's the #1 song playing on my internal radio for weeks now. So all is well in the land.

(Thursday 3 July 2025; 15:25)

What's your thoughts? (109,476) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

Call me crazy but it's crossed my mind, more than once that on Type: Dangerous' delivery - Mariah deliberately played down all of her vocal abilities. Kind of like she did for the Mimi sessions. I'd like to see someone use AI tools use her rap-singing on that to upgrade their song enough to compete.

This is why, as much as I beg for a rockumentary, I don't need her raw vocals in the studio or onstage in full because some weirdo might digitally abuse it. All those stems on YT are a double edged sword. I don't understand why she, Sony especially, just people get away with it.

I agree with you that the song T:D is mid, in terms of what we know she can do. I felt the same with ILT. This is clearly not the best of her and still bops. It's a good feeler to put out but it also puts a lot of pressure on the second single/video (really the whole rest of the album) to hit it out of the stratosphere. If anyone can pull that off though, Mariah can.

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,475) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

A Lambi after my own

Kawaii. I'm sure you've had flashes of brilliance.

I think my points were probably lost in Google translate. At least that's how I'm choosing to move forward. They're just things that crossed my mind. We all have those. I want team Mariah to have pow-wows regularly. I've never heard of Mariah doing that. The secret to successful brainstorming is letting every idea have a chance to be heard and not placing any negative or too positive value on it in front of the team. That goes for the entire team including the team leader. No idea is a bad idea. That way when people actually have brilliant ideas, they're not afraid to voice them or worse, want to keep it all to themselves. That kills creativity and obliterates the team spirit.

The only time I ever questioned anyone about the point of their ideas was when this guy was literally designing and building a weapon of mass destruction.

All he basically wanted was to get rich. He didn't like me very much after even though we got along pretty well before that. He had better ideas that didn't involve the taking of lives. But, I digress.

I'm so glad you got it Tegin, being an American and all. I was worried that wasn't going to translate well. Because MC being such a powerhouse in Asia doesn't take away from her American crown. Anyway, I just wanted to throw a monkey wrench I've held onto for years (since TEC tour) in 2014. Such a juxtaposition of her status in the US while literally breaking attendance records in China with 5 sold out Stadiums- back to back. Mariah was the first Western artist to ever do that. We haven't heard of anyone else surpassing that 250,000+ attendance. It was barely news the first time. Hopefully, Gamma will do better about steering the media flow back to her international popularity and non-AIW legacy.

Why Mariah needs to curb AI from using her vocals (109,472) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

I don't like the current trend of spreading AI songs using Mariah's voice. It somehow feels like people trying to dilute her artistic brand because out of all the vocalists that we in modern times have heard and know intimately over 35-40 years?

Of course it's tempting to use MC's voice when it makes even the most basic song sound amazing but it's not fair to her or the listeners who might buy a song because they just like it, not knowing it's fugazi Mariah. Imagine if this had happened if AI had existed in the 90's and not just auto tune? I mean, this is JLo's dream come true.

Mariah's the only one who's tone has been quite impossible to replicate. The DJ Clue quote comes to mind of how Mariah's "often imitated but never duplicated"?

Except now she is, even though it's still noticeably not her because the flair is missing, the Mariahness is missing and that's probably because she's always produced and her artistry is so distinctly hers. She builds a wall of sound with her voice so it's instantly recognizable but I worry for the younger generations - they maybe won't know the difference. Their ears have not been trained to, and maybe I'm being dramatic and that real music lovers will always know the difference no matter if they were around when she first debuted or not.

But yeah, I don't like it. Vocalists and other creatives need to band together and copyright their vocals. She's insured her legs for a billion dollars when she barely uses them anymore (

sorry y'all, I had to do it, just once in my life

) when her "Music Box" is where all the magic happens. I know a way she could very plausibly curb it. It's never been done and I want her to be first.

And before anyone starts, I'm sure she's already insured her vocal chords, throat, diaphragm, mouth, esophagus, lips, teeth, nose, tongue, arms and hands. I'm being as vague as I can be so It's okay if you don't get it.

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,446) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

You seem to have misunderstood my post. That's why I'm grateful Type Dangerous just debuted #2 on the Japanese AirPlay charts. It proved my point that in some territories Mariah's music can still makes a clear impact all on its own. All I was saying is for Team Mariah to spread the wealth, not put all her eggs in one American basket.

AIW is already locked in as an evergreen. Of course she shouldn't take that for granted or not capitalize on that. Just don't forget that she's really big in Asia and still has room to grow there.

The way I wrote my post was just to frame all that without giving away too specific ideas that anybody can steal and use. This is an open forum. Not everybody who lurks here is a lamb. I can't just be giving away a whole marketing plan.

So I chose an angle that nobody can duplicate because Mariah is the only living Western artist who can really pull it off without much effort. If I went Into the nitty-gritty, the ideas will be applicable to any artist and people would steal it. It is what it is.

It's tii-iime - for Team Mariah to accept that the U.S. is no longer her primary market (109,435) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

Hey Lambily. I haven't been keeping up with every message since before T:D dropped, so apologies if this has already been brought up, but it's been on my mind for a long time.

MC needs to stop treating the U.S. like her main market. And that goes for Team Mariah, Larry Jackson, Gamma, her entire promo strategy, and even us lambs. Here's why and what needs to change:

America is no longer serving Mariah

She's been reduced to a "Christmas meme" over here. Hugely beloved in December, but ignored or mocked the rest of the year. The Caution era (which IMO is top 3 in her catalog) was under-promoted, underplayed, and mishandled because of an outdated U.S.-centric strategy. American media fixates on "diva" soundbites, lighting demands, Christmas hits, and drama - not her actual music. Thank God for TikTok or many of the youngins would never have discovered she has other songs outside of AIW (no shade).

Go where you're loved

In Asia and Latin America, Mariah is still treated like a living legend and never like a living relic. She fills stadiums and arenas in China, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines etc - no current album needed. Hello, The Celebration of Mimi Tour? So this can't be news to anybody. Brazil has Lambs ready to riot for a single live moment. These countries aren't obsessed with clickbait interviews or reducing her legacy to one season a year. They care about her vocals her catalog, and her presence.

Rethink the rollout strategy

* Drop the next single in South Korea
* Premiere the video in Shanghai.
* Give her first big comeback interview to Japanese TV

Because guess what? Social media is global. Wherever it starts, it'll reach America within seconds.

Reminder: virality isn't U.S.-owned

"Gangnam Style" wasn't in English. It wasn't American. Still went viral. Let's don't "chase" a U.S. moment - create global ones and let the U.S. catch up later (they always do).

Do something, anything fresh

Imagine a fan listening party in the Philippines - thousands of English-speaking Pinoy Lambs who would lose their minds. Or Mariah launching a challenge on TikTok Korea or doing a collab with a big Latin or K-Pop artist. All of this creates "real momentum", way more than another awkward podcast or daytime U.S. interview.

And for the finale

All I Want For Christmas Is You hit #1 in Japan in 1994. (A non-Christian country, because she licensed it for use as the theme for a tv-show.) It took America until 2019 to do the same and she had to work for it. Remember December 2014? Meanwhile "Caution" didn't even chart properly in the U.S., despite being critically acclaimed.

Go where you're celebrated, not where you have to beg for recognition. It's time for Team Mariah to think globally, because she is global. The U.S. doesn't have to be first anymore. Let the music lead.

Thoughts?

Mariah's been known to say that maybe some people aren't meant to be happy (108,892) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

That sentiment has hung over her head like a dark cloud since forever. We've yet to hear her proclaim victory over it. Why she hangs on to that particular self-fulfilling prophesy is sad. Because ultimately it means that whenever she's happy and away from dysfunction, she'll subconsciously seek to undo that happiness. That's why IMHO some of her choices confuse people. Even though dysfunction hurts her, that's what's familiar.

Mariah is a study in dichotomy because even as her brand rests firmly in positivity, faith, overcoming obstacles and dreaming big, she sets limitations on herself still that go against that. I'm not talking about her artistry (but I could make that car in another post). But her personal life and art are intrinsically tied because she's the writer, composer and conductor of her music that we know in large parts are autobiographical. I genuinely hope Mariah isn't out here "suffering" just to have material for her albums.

Stop chasing unhappiness MC - reciprocate love, trust and respect, don't reject it under some dysfunctional idea formed when you were emotionally immature just trying to survive.

Forgive me if I am going overboard as obviously I am not living Mariah's life. I couldn't possibly understand all of her motivations for how she chooses to live. But as a keen observer and lifetime fan/defender, I sense that I am not completely off track. I say all of this with the deepest Love, respect and hope.

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,891) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

I love this theory so much and always have. Usually I'll scroll whatever site I am on and keep laughing. Today I have time: Mariah's left side is like the other side of the moon, only God and satellites have ever really had a full clear view. But we're supposed to believe she's gone under anesthesia several times and just left her "bad side" alone? Maybe the locals will humor you but a lamb will laugh behind your back.

The Lambiliy is back together (108,545) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

I've been so nostalgic later and I'd die if H.BiFly was revived along with Mariah radio and a little forum (I was a member posting the last time at least until well after the SSFT, I wanna say). Imagine if Mariah really left messages randomly yet regularly like back in the day? Twitter spaces are nice and great to listen to but they don't create buzz outside of the core fanbase. On her official fansite, it's a whole different story. Voicemails? She used to own that medium and afaik, she's the only one who ever even had the idea to connect with us in that way. She wouldn't even have to worry about her "bad side" to post a one minute message or 5 minute tangent, just for laughs. So, I really hope this isn't gonna be one of those abandoned projects when it's so easy to maintain. Just add a couple of widgets to Spotify, insta and links to other social media and you're set. We would do the rest. This is what the Lambiliy needs, more synergy and especially for newer lambs who don't even know how big the lamb community used to be online. The But that's just my 2025¢.

TEOM 20th collaborators (chemistry testing?) (108,544) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

The new DFAU remix is hot hot hot. I look forward to hearing Circles, So Lonely, Makin It Last All Night, Mine Again, Your Girl and When I Feel It. So excited. I'm thinking Mariah is chem-testing different producers to bring over to future projects like albums, movies, television etc. using her own material like that is a good move. Will we get a physical release or is it all about streaming? I would let the digital release do its thing for awhile before rolling out the vinyls. This album was big 2005-2006 so the anniversary rollout should mimic that and be spread out into 2026. IMHO.

The #MiMi20 countdown is literally winding down to Bryan Tanaka's birthday (108,543) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

I kinda already said it up top. It's likely due to the shift of commercial releases from Tuesdays to Fridays and TEOM anniversary being on Saturday the 12th of April. Still, it's Tanaka's day and the new "Don't Forget About Us" remix is gonna be everywhere on his birthday weekend. Demons tagging him to gloat. Ugh. I rebuke it. He's a low-key guy. I'm sure MC gave him a heads up (at least I hope she did). Much love to Tanaka on his day. You are missed.

Love letter to MC (108,408) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

To Mariah, whom I love, cherish and adore (more than some of my own blood relations) and wish, hope and pray will humble yourself and let go of anything holding you back from being happy and at peace, where you have always belonged but for some reason you feel unworthy and don't believe is for you.

Mariah, nobody "deserves" or earns love, it's a gift from our creator. Rejecting love is not where it's at. God wants you to be happy. Grief comes and goes in waves, let it happen. Lean into it, move through it. Don't bottle all your struggles up. Your disappointment. Declare yourself free and unburden yourself from the wounds you carry. We all have to mourn our dead. But let's celebrate the living too, why grieve and eulogize loved ones who still draw breath?

We'll be okay, we don't really need new music or any of the other things we always bitch about. We care about you. You are not somewhat loved, you are loved, period. Don't martyr yourself for the fandom, the public and strangers that care or know nothing about you. We'll live and we'll be happy because you're genuinely happy. Why won't you choose happy, is it fear? Well that's not of the Lord and you know it.

So whatever had you running scared, run towards that. Because faking it until you make it isn't working. It also reads inauthentic and that's not good because even as someone who loves you and means you well, always, I can misread you as someone who doesn't care when I also see that you're trying very hard. Let go of your pride. It's not doing you any favors. Handle your business girl and I'm not talking music or showbusiness. Go off grid if you have to. Be Garbo for a minute or two. Let God lead the way and follow Him. You don't need to go on an exploitation/explanation tour on anyone's primetime tv-couch. Go be with the people who love you, 4 real 4 real. It's time you stop self sabotaging. Reject dysfunction once and for all. Stop rejecting stability in favour of familiarity of chaos and uncertainty.

Go where you're loved and accepted wholely and truly. That's what you should keep building on. Love is the only thing that we take with us, given and received, when we leave this earth. Let's not take it for granted and waste time on frivolous things and hollow relationships. Stop feeding the trolls.

"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13.

Is Mariah high-key the mother of 10 bonus kids and a passive (108,341) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End

And that's excluding her alleged ex-husband. I only say "alleged" because for all intents and purposes she chooses to enable him and does absolutely nothing to put her foot down. Thirsty Cannon is out here telling everybody that he's super dad and that he's the head of one big happy family because Mariah made him into the bastard father Abraham that he is today and she's also the live if his life and he'd marry her again (if there was no prenup). Is he wrong? Mariah is in a polyamories' relationship with 6 baby mamas.

One of them is now going on record (several of the others already admitted as much on socials), dropping the pretense of why she jumped at the opportunity to have her child be biologically connected to Mariah's twins.

As you can hear and see, she's not even really bothered that the sperm donor isn't around much (because of all the podcasts invites he gets) or is with the other 50-11 concubines - she's concerned that her son doesn't get to spend the holidays and one on one time with Roc and Roe who are incidentally always with Mariah. She generously offers to not be invited except at drop off or pick up. We all know I don't see it for thirsty and never will, but we are well past the point where Mariah isn't in on this dysfunction. MC is an enabler of this situational dysfunction. I love her to pieces but this is simply the objective truth. This kind of twisted game doesn't sustain itself without legal adults disregarding every other sane or healthy alternative. It's pure insanity. I feel only for the children who are treated as nothing but pawns by these crazy gamers.
