About Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia: Every Moment I'm Alive Until The End Of Time.

I would be a completely different person (110,508) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I still remember whether in 1995 or 1996 during an international interview, Mariah said that if she didn't have the voice she would be a completely different person. So I guess the Mariah now that we have is the different Mariah from what she used to be. Having the voice back then helped her in building her confidence and her issues with insecurities. Now that she lost it, don't deny it guys, she is what she is now. She tried to sing Sugar Sweet acapella recently during one of that UK radio interviews and half way she realised that the voice didn't come out. (Friday 15 August 2025; 14:53)

Here For It All snippet (110,431) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I like it. The only part that I don't like is when the first time she sings "here for it all" in the snippet, the "all" is flat. It's either she didn't realised it or she did it on purpose. (Tuesday 12 August 2025; 01:57) this is a reply to message 110,427

Here For It All snippet (110,427) by Norman from USA This is on TikTok where Mimi played a snippet of it somewhere, and I'm in my feelings about it. (Cry. emoji) (Monday 11 August 2025; 22:45)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,336) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah only looks small and slim in social media. Go look at Jimmy Kimmel interview last week. That's how she really looks like without filter and editor. In my opinion she looks good with all that weight and chubbiness. I dont't know why she doesn't want to embrace that.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,332) by Lambi from USA In the land of Kardashians and waist trainers, of course she's had some work done on her body. Her hips look like they were enhanced as well, but it's Hollywood, and this is the norm. I would say Mariah never really overdid anything, except for the boobs. She knew Nick loved them, so she consistently made them bigger and flaunted them for revenge. Stella famously said, "She just got her boobs done," but she didn't blow up her lips like Christina or Carrie Underwood, and she didn't do anything extreme like a Michael Jackson nose job. She always kind of harmonized with her natural beauty. At most, she may have had a non-invasive injection on the sides of her button nose to make it more subtle. She also has perfectly crafted veneers and a tiny bit of Botox here and there, but she still very much has a face that's hers. I can't remember where I saw it, but it was revealed that Mariah follows an all-blue food diet to preserve her youth. Her beautician said she has an extensive beauty regimen that involves getting three facials every week. With her money, she has access to top-tier beauty products. She really takes beauty seriously. I remember that right after she gave birth, she said, "We gotta stay pretty," while getting ready to take pictures with her newborns. She has always been invested in beauty, and she reaps what she sows. Mariah deserves all the amazing results because she has always put in the effort. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 02:36)

Sugar Sweet video clip (110,255) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I think it's because of the heavy filters to make her look young and slim. Mariah obviously didn't look like that in the Jimmy Kimmel interview. Mariah is always looking like that interview. All her social media posts are heavily edited.

Sugar Sweet video clip (110,254) by ADAM from USA Do you think her expressionless blank stares in this video and many others are the result of too much botox and filler? [It's] happened so much that I think the weight of these enhancements are affecting her ability to emote. I guess for her she'd rather look 35 forever while unable to look enthused or expressive. (Thursday 31 July 2025; 14:41)

Jimmy Kimmel (110,084) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I thought she's going to perform Type Dangerous or Sugar Sweet. That would boost more attention to either of the songs. If she's lazy to answer all the questions during interview, then why can't she be there for the performance? Less talking and more singing. (Saturday 26 July 2025; 06:23)

Sugar Sweet (109,842) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Yes. This song would be her 20 #1 single. The melody is catchy and talks about being in love and sexy. The album title should be "Sweet Soul 16". (Sunday 20 July 2025; 04:54)

Unpopular opinion - alternate universe (109,687) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia 2008: Mariah never married Nick in 2008. Roc and Roe never happened to Mariah. Because of marriage never happened, Mariah continues promoting E=MC2 and released Migrate as second single and became her 19th No 1. 2009: Mariah released her album Imperfect Angel and the second single after Obsessed is 100% and the song is the theme song for Precious and became her 20th No 1. 2010: Mariah received her first Oscar award for Best Original Song and even performed the song 100% and ended with standing ovation from the audience. 2011: Mariah performed her world tour to celebrate all her 20 No 1 songs. 2012: Mariah became a judge in American Idol where the 3 panel of judges were Randy, Mariah and Keith. No drama whatsoever among the judges for this. 2013: Mariah released her album The Art Of Letting Go (the original tracklist) and #Beautiful became her 21th No 1. Mariah also released You Don't Know What To Do as second single and the song became her 22nd No 1 song on Hot 100. 2014: Mariah released Out Here On My Own as the third single from the album and this song became Mariah's hit for power ballad that reminded the public of Mariah from the 90's. This song tops the chart as her 23rd No 1. I always felt this song should be in The Art Of Letting Go album because it fits the theme of old school of R&B sound. 2015: Mariah released her album Dedicated (all new songs recorded just like in Me I Am Mariah) and the summer single Thirsty became her 24th No 1. The concept of the video is from Mariah's Game of War commercial in 2015 where Mariah is one of the princess warriors. The video is comedy style like Touch My Body. The video is funded by that game company too. The second single is Cool On You and became her 25th No 1. 2016: Mariah married Derek Jeter and have 4 kids with him. Just like Derek's life now in this universe. 2018: Mariah released "Proceed With Caution" album. Mariah had said, I forgot which interview, that she thought of naming this album as this. A No No is the leading single and it became her 26th No 1. 2019: All I Want For Christmas became her 27th No 1. 2020: Covid happened. End. Mariah sealed her career with 27th No 1 as 27 is her favorite number, her birth date. (Friday 11 July 2025; 17:26)

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,640) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia The real competition would be Dreamlover vs Fantasy. Both song top the Hot 100 chart for 8 weeks. Both song are equals in terms of success. Honey real contender is Heartbreaker. Though both songs top the chart too but just for a couple of weeks. Too bad Loverboy cannot sit on the table with them. Maybe if they released Loverboy Firecracker version instead. (Sunday 6 July 2025; 02:32) this is a reply to message 109,635

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,635) by Bobby A from United States Which one was a bigger radio and sales hit? I ask the question because I feel Fantasy was because it was the first time a sample made an original song like Genius of Love popular among younger listeners in 1995. Secondly, Nostradomus on X posted today that the second single is a pop/club combination with traces of hip hop and funk. Isn't that what Fantasy was for Daydream? (Saturday 5 July 2025; 19:14)

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,543) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Thank you Lighty. Yes I know I've seen Lullaby Of Birdland in the leaked tracklisting in 2013. The reason why I knew that tracklisting is valid because there are several songs on that tracklisting that were actually on the album in 2014. So I'm just assuming maybe, maybe Mariah has a studio version for that song. (Monday 30 June 2025; 13:21) this is a reply to message 109,539

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,539) by Lighty from China Actually there was. Even Save the Day was on there. [Webmaster: The funny part is that Edward himself commented several times on this tracklisting.] (Monday 30 June 2025; 03:10)

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,528) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Just a random question about this song. In 2013 when Mariah was about to release The Art of Letting Go album, the tracklisting that leaked had this song on it together with You're Mine, You Don't Know What, Supernatural etc, so I know that leak was legit. Then the album was postponed and this song was not on the album but Mariah performed it on her tour in 2014. Later this song was released as live version taken from her concert on The Rarities. So my question is, do you think Mariah had a hidden album version of this song somewhere in the vault? It would be nice to hear a studio version.

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,527) by Dove from United States Lullaby of Birdland* (Sunday 29 June 2025; 14:37)

No ballad as second single, please (109,428) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia If Gamma learns and study the history of Mariah's discography then they would know releasing a ballad as a second single did not turn out well, except for We Belong Together. E=MC2: Bye Bye killed the momentum of a summer album. I would pick I'm That Chick because the song is so summery, disco-ish and fun. Memoirs: I Want To Know What Love Is killed the vibe of Obsessed girl power shade. I would pick Up Out My Face as the follow up single as a sequel to Obsessed. Me I Am Mariah: Who approved You're Mine as second single after Beautiful? It should have been You Don't Know What To Do or Thirsty. Either songs could build the momentum after long hiatus between Beautiful and the album. Caution: Releasing With You after GTFO is inconsistent. A No No is much better as it fit the theme of GTFO and the song is so upbeat and fun. It would welcomes younger fans too. So please Gamma. (Saturday 21 June 2025; 14:11)

Mimi in Danger (109,347) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I want that to be her album title. A name that catch people's attention and check her out. Maybe "Mimi: Ms. Danger". (Sunday 15 June 2025; 16:15)

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,339) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia If the reason why they get to him is to gain viewers from his 450 million subscribers, then the mission is failed, so far. He never post or repost it. I visit his channel and yes it is true that all his videos have high views, his latest video has 70 million views in just 7 days. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 09:09)

The lyrics video (109,309) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In the teaser that Mariah posted on her Instagram we can see that Mariah mouthing the lyrics. But in the actual lyrics video Mariah did not mouthing the lyrics and she just basically posing and give beauty shots. Would this mean there will be another second version of lyrics video? (Saturday 14 June 2025; 20:37)

Promo and MV (109,181) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Infinity peaked at No. 82 and I Don't peaked at No. 89 respectively at the Billboard Hot 100. After 2017, Mariah did not chart on the Hot 100 except for that All I Want For Christmas. So let's hope Type Dangerous could chart higher than those two songs, at least top 15 like #Beautiful. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 14:09) this is a reply to message 109,172

Promo and MV (109,172) by Shezz from Pk I hope she's performing TD at BET and no Mimi medley though I would not mind an It's Like That to TD transition like the MC16 teaser clip. As for the different guys in the song - either they should all be fictional or all past relationships. Would be weird for her to talk about someone from her old music video (motor cycle guy) but then computer boy toy also sounds like the TMB guy. Some say that's Nick though the forever guy sounds more like him or that could be Tanaka as well. I also thought Tommy references now are a bit old and tired but maybe she did it because it made the verse more interesting and dramatic. I wonder what her insta pic with the guys is about... bet maybe? I think her MV video will definitely have a bunch of these guys in the video. She hinted at that in one of her interviews. They asked her about the guys and she said "you'll have to watch the video". I wonder if they have a remix lined up already or are they waiting to see how it performs. I'd be over the moon if the song just charts. What was her last single to chart? I don't think any of the Caution singles charted. Nor did I Don't and Infinity. Was #Beauituful her last new song to chart? None of the remixes charted. She does not have the fan base for her songs to have a decent debut, at best it could work its way into top 40. Which would be big for her. TD is good but it's no Believe. Her best shot at the charts is a pop song with mass appeal. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 05:22)

Type: Dangerous (109,094) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Where's the chorus? After the verse she just mumbles some words like "that's my type", "danger", "dangerous". I like the verse because it reminds me of Will Smith from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But on a serious note, the song does not have a chorus. (Friday 6 June 2025; 12:26)

MC16 - new era, final era (108,998) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I want to enjoy this new era beginning June 6th because I know this would be a final era from her. I hope her team would make it right this time, the final time. We don't know when we're gonna get a new era after this. I hope MC16 would bring commercial success, 20th No 1 perhaps. All the best Mariah, we enjoyed you. 2025 would be your year, the new era and chapter closing. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 17:15)

What version of Your Girl on Mimi Sessions? (108,885) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia May I know what version of that, is that the remix version or what? I really like the chorus when she sings "get with me tonight". (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 09:56)

Lol (108,794) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah is already a multi millionaires darling. She does't need to do voice trainig. This is not the 90's anymore. She can rely on pre-recorded track in which it's still her voice unlike other singer who used other singer's voice. All that matters is that she needs to look gorgeous on stage with the gowns, hair and make up. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 02:56) this is a reply to message 108,786

Lol (108,786) by Terna from Nigeria Sounds like you're giving excuses for her. "She's not really a regular singer." Well then she needs to be a regular singer, if regular means being disciplined, getting training all over again, getting a voice coach that understands her situation (and preferably also a voice therapist in tow) and knows exactly what to do and how to go about it, having some form of a routine mapped out for her and seeing where it goes, because having this attitude and being a half assed singer without knowing the tricks of the trade is what put her in this problem to begin with. It is quite sad to see how much singing ability she has lost, literally everything. And then she keeps touring (with which voice exactly?). D'you know how grueling touring is on a normal voice that doesn't have nodules, talk less of one like hers that does - the reason why every time she toured it affected her voice negatively. For someone who's shows are all about the voice, she sure shouldn't be giving any performances on any stage whatsoever with how shot her voice is currently (call it as it is, we can all hear it). Standing there giving absolutely nothing on stage and thinking the audience would not notice? I am a true fan/Lamb or whatever you wanna call it, and Mariah has been getting on my nerves lately, I scroll right past any posts about her concerts, because I already know what to expect. How much more those who paid money to see her in person. She will soon be booed off that stage, then maybe finally jolt back to reality and seek professional help. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 16:56)

Article: Mariah Carey is set to announce Australian tour (108,789) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia She's trying to reach 1 billion net worth, then she's off for retirement. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 22:58) this is a reply to message 108,784

Article: Mariah Carey is set to announce Australian tour (108,784) by Jamie from UK She's touring a hell of a lot. Does she really need the money that bad? Time to strip back Mimi. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 14:12)

Great gowns, beautiful gowns (108,755) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Looking at all the pictures of Mariah performing in Shanghai, all I can say is that her stylist has step up the game and able to pick dresses that carry the classy image. Even her ponytail makes her look neat, clean and current. Big hair is so yesterday. Great gowns beautiful gowns. That's all. (Sunday 18 May 2025; 04:28)

Slow moving (108,745) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Yes I agree. I've been thinking about it ever since. She refused to move and always looking confused because she's so busy looking at the monitor to decipher the color coding of the words which one is live and which one is pre-recorded. Plus, she's always wearing heels that are too high and too small for her shoe size. That's all. Off stage she is normal as usual. We can see that from all her instagram story. So nothing to worry. (Friday 16 May 2025; 05:29) this is a reply to message 108,739

Slow moving (108,739) by Malcolm from Asia I believe that the reason why she's not moving as much as she was 2 years ago is because she's being cautious to avoid making mistakes in her lip sync. This is a new era where the concerts are 90% lipped, so as much as she wants to be carefree, she can't because she might miss her cues. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 18:37)

Born this Mimi (108,708) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I agree. The Art Of Letting Go is definitely the best title to define her personal life at that time. I believe if she sticks to that "letting go" theme for the album, then the album would have had more success. She should just release the album in 2013 right after she was done with American Idol finale with Beautiful as the first single, followed by You Don't Know What To Do for the summer hit single, then The Art Of Letting Go at the end of 2013, You're Mine for the Valentine single in 2014, then double singles released for Make It Look Good and Mesmerized, and ending the era of the album with classic cover Lullaby Of Birdland. Those 7 songs are enough to make that album a hit and put Mariah on the map for another successful comeback in 2010's era. (Monday 12 May 2025; 14:01) this is a reply to message 108,705

Born this Mimi (108,705) by Edward from USA At least she never stated that anybody called her that. That was just a very short title she came up with. "The Art of Letting Go" was definitely a better title. #20] (Monday 12 May 2025; 04:12)

Mimi calendar (108,700) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Yes. Malaysia flag has appeared on the October calendar. Maybe she's touring there. Looking forward, again. (Sunday 11 May 2025; 06:00) this is a reply to message 108,699

Mimi calendar (108,699) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Has anyone seen the new video upload for the new DFAU remix? The visuals are of the 2025 calendar highlight certain important dates like Fourth of July, Christmas etc, it also has dates like Mariah's, the twins and Kaytranada's birthdays, it also has dates of milestone moments from Mimi but what interests me most is it has dates highlighted that we don't know what's happening. Like May 30th is in gold so we know that's the release of TEOM reissue but then June 6th has a caution/exclamation sign wonder what that is. It also has one where there are high heels not sure what that represents. The calendar also shows she's booked and busy hahah but surprisingly nothing about her holiday shows. Anyone has any guesses what the unknown highlighted dates mean? (Saturday 10 May 2025; 22:01)

Born this Mimi (108,691) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia In the music video Boy I Need You released in 2003, Cam'ron said in the intro "Alright Mimi, be good." (Friday 9 May 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 108,687

Born this Mimi (108,687) by Edward from USA The Emancipation of "Who?" Are we ever going to sit down and talk about how Mariah just woke up one day, said "Call me Mimi", and the entire world ate that shit up? Child please, who exactly was calling you that before 2005? That nickname was never uttered by any of her close friends during any of her most memorable eras. But suddenly it's "The Emancipation of Mimi" and we all ate it up like it was a fresh batch of hot tamales. Maybe is right there on her birth certificate: Mimi Carey, possibly born in 1970. Iconic? Absolutely, but Mimi please. (Thursday 8 May 2025; 19:49)
