Two focus points for MC17 (114,688) by Belinda Vasquez from USA When Mary J first came onto the scene, she was hood - and I mean hood. Using the n word in several interviews, showing up high from weed, even threatened to punch out an interviewer (no joke and not urban legend, you can google it), but even though this was troubling behavior, it made her seem like a relatable homegirl that was pissed at a lot of things that life was throwing at her, as she was indeed in an abusive relationship at the table and suicidal. But because she was so open and real about it publicly, it made her endearing and definitely down to earth and relatable. Her glow-up/maturity throughout the years is nothing short of amazing. Here is an example. Check out the 5:58 mark. (Tuesday 13 October 2026; 16:22) this is a reply to message 114,687

Two focus points for MC17 (114,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth." That's true, fantastic singers and women. You're right Mary also seems very nice and relatable. I loved her duet with George Michael. This kind of music is missing nowadays. I know what you mean, when I say that I love Mariah's music the first comment is always, oh she's such a diva and so on. Every time. It's frustrating that this is always the first comment. Mariah had always a mystical aura, compared with her stunning voice and the divaness it really worked in the 90ies. She was also shy and confident, the mix was super sweet. But we all know there was a change with the image and it wasn't so good sadly. We fans know she's more than only a diva. But the public image is always about being a diva. Maybe with the grunge album Mariah could show them that there's more. For me she'll always be the best (even with the voice changed) her music catalogue is insane. There will never be another Mariah.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,686) by nancy from Switzerland I think Mary J Blige still today has a powerful voice. Her songs are meaningful, and deep. Often she sings about difficult situations in life, Self acceptance etc. She also had her struggles. Especially to women, she gives mental strength. In my opinion that makes her very likeable and relatable. You feel understood. What I like about her is, that on interviews she is very humble and down to earth sometimes even a bit shy. She also made a lot of duets with other artists. Not only rappers. She does not have that divaish, I am better than you aura, which Mariah often has (not always). Alicia Keys, Brandy, Tony Braxton are also talented but more down to earth. Although they all are enormously rich and talented. Mariah sometimes does have this image that the world owes her something on a silver tablet. The voice of these women also are super. Currently (we must be realistic) is better than Mariah's voice. Sorry. When I talk about those artists, people understand why I am a fan of them. When I talk about Mariah the people show me an aversion for her. (Monday 12 October 2026; 15:12)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,685) by MusicfanJ from Germany I kind of agree, but Mariah is not like Mary J Blidge at all. Mary is just a cool rnb singer and was never more. Which is fine. She was never on the same level with Mariah (fame, records, artistry and of course the voice). Only Whitney and Celine had that kind of level, the voiced trinity. Mariah is a living legend, not only known for rnb but for pop history with one of the best voices ever. But her image has suffered, for all the reasons that were talked on this board. Mariah can also leave the "Christmas road" if she wants to. Doing a duets album, jazz, gospel or simply pop with soul elements. She just needs to be more relatable again, she's hiding so much and that's her good right and her choice. But the people love if an artist is more open like Céline was. Yes, she said she was not supposed to make "HFIA". But I don't understand why? Because of the age, the business for what reason? Anyone can explain it to me. (Monday 12 October 2026; 14:23)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,684) by nancy from Switzerland For me is clear that she doesn't care anymore to enlarge her fanbase or achieve good chart positions. She does not have the motivation, the stamina, the ideas and most of all the voice anymore and last but not least some health issues. I guess she wants to be like MJB and stick to RnB and want to be remembered for the old achievements. She sticks with what she knows and what worked in the past years. A little renewal with anniversary items of her former albums and Christmas and non resung remixes of her former songs. Nothing more. Nothing challenging. That obviously still gives her a good salary to survive her expensive lifestyle. In her album [Here for it] all in the thank you part is written you're not supposed to make this record and speaks about locked doors. I guess this is a clear statement. There are a lot of Rnb artists which stick to the old and same stuff. Brandy , Alicia Keys etc. I guess that we have to accept it. While Madonna builds bridges with new artists, Mariah stagnates and is happy with her still remaining fanbase, her staff who applaude her, even in bad performances . (Monday 12 October 2026; 13:03)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,683) by Bobby A from United States I have a lot of free time on my hands on the weekends keeping up with how new albums perform on charts and the promotional plan the artist used to launch their album. I find myself thinking about what if MC launches MC17 this way or that way. I just don't want MC to become strictly an Urban AC artist like Mary J. Blige has become.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,676) by Edward from USA Bobby A, do we coexist in the same universe? Looking at the sales of her last two albums, there simply aren't enough of us to make a meaningful dent in her overall streaming numbers. The reality is that 90% of the people streaming AIWFCIY are fans of the song, not Lambs. I applaud you for always being positive, but sometimes you need to be realistic. Mariah just isn't that popular anymore, and on top of that, she's become largely unrelatable to the general public. We need to stop blaming Gamma and other external factors for the lack of success of her recent projects. Outside of what's left of her core fanbase, the general public doesn't seem particularly interested in what she has to offer. Her music has also started to feel stagnant, and she seems increasingly reluctant to take a genuine leap of faith and try something completely new. Mariah once had the Midas touch that Taylor Swift has now, and that's well and good. But if she wants to be commercially successful again, she needs to find a way to connect with a new generation, reinvent herself musically, and deliver something genuinely fresh. HFIA has some gems that could have been hits in the hands of Ariana or Taylor, it's not only about the music but also the artist. So no, I don't think streaming campaigns alone are going to solve the problem. The problem is not the wrong singles, a lack of promotion, but simply a public that no longer cares enough to tune in, there's only so much fans can do. We can stream until we're blue in the face, but we can't manufacture public interest. At some point, Mariah and her team need to give people a compelling reason to care again.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,682) by jaker20 from US I think Mariah only has 2 paths right now. Either embrace her Christmas legacy full time or completely change her image. For Christmas, maybe she can release a new Christmas album every 2 years, and make proper videos for her Christmas catalog. For pop, nobody's checking the vocal image and sound, that's not even her anymore. She needs to move on from that. She does the vocal diva image every year with Christmas anyway which screams legacy act. Maybe follow up on the style and sound of Obsessed. That's what people listen to now. I streamed Memoirs start to finish, wow, honestly it still sound so fresh. Or maybe a concept album where she highlight talented new artists sampling her pop songs like Big Energy did. You would think that with her name, she can attract talents. It's either she's not reaching out, or they don't want to work with her.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,675) by Bobby A from United States Most Lambs (me too) are not streaming on repeat to increase MC's streaming numbers in the way the younger demographics do for Taylor Swift and Ella Langley. Lambs have to start new streaming campaigns in 2027 by choosing songs from MC's 2000s catalogue to focus on each month until MC17's first single is released. MC and .gamma should consider a streaming only release for the first three months and then drop the physical cd and vinyl three months later. During the initial streaming only release, MC could rely on a corporate streaming integration such as Coach X Spotify Tabby Tour activation to push her presence onto active user playlists like "On Repeat".

Two focus points for MC17 (114,678) by Lighty from China Maybe we should wait until this year's Christmas tours to see if she's still stiff and lifeless on stage. If so, nothing could save MC17, if that album's ever gonna happen. (Sunday 11 October 2026; 05:50)

Two focus points for MC17 (114,680) by BFF from US I agree, Edward. I think there have been opportunities to turn this around but decisions have been made by Mariah or on her behalf to preclude any way for the public to reconnect with her outside of Christmas or her legacy catalog. She cannot blame her team when they make these decisions on her behalf. If she wants commercial and artistic relevance outside of Christmas, she has to pivot back to the craft of writing and recording original music and away from her holiday catalog and residences. Christmas and the residencies might make her money, but they are hallmarks of someone in artistic stagnation. She and her team severely botched the rollout of all three of her last three studio albums - "Me. I Am Mariah", "Caution", and "Here For It All". And she's been focused on Christmas and residencies since 2014... the past twelve years, during which she has only released two studio albums.

Two focus points for MC17 (114,679) by Rose from United States It's not impossible, but I think she burned bridges with people who could help her. Maybe in the moment, she chose to be right rather than trying to understand where the other parties were coming from, leading to hostility and tension and annoying or hurting the people she's in conflict with. She needs to decide what's most important: mutual progress or winning. (Sunday 11 October 2026; 13:42) this is a reply to message 114,675

Two focus points for MC17 (114,677) by Lainsky from Philippines If that's how song and album success is achieved nowadays, perhaps Mariah could try it. I am also a little desperate to see her on top of the charts like she used to. She could release another TEOM or something new that today's music consumers can't get enough of from streaming, whatever that "something new" or unheard-of from her is. However, let's face the truth that her voice is no longer as powerful as it used to be. While she can sing in her most comfortable key for her age, it may work, but still, it'll sound different. We all know that she's known as "The Voice". Another truth that we must accept is that the industry is clearly biased in favor of the younger singers. But hey. anything is possible. If she was able to bounce back in 2005, she can do it again, but it will be harder and will require a miracle. Cher was 52 when Believe became a worldwide hit. She's 57, so yes, she needs a miracle from her faith. (Sunday 11 October 2026; 04:53) this is a reply to message 114,675

Grammy nominations for HFIA (114,674) by BFF from US With Beyonce, there's just a point where you have to question how someone can receive 35 awards and 99 nominations (the most for any artist) when they don't play an instrument, read music, and are really only a songwriter in the sense of "writing" songs with committees of tastemakers. It speaks to what you mentioned about the "commercial" influence on the Grammys in recent years. In contrast, the Georg Solti, who won 31 Grammys, was an operatic conductor and classically trained musician who clearly had a major investment in music theory.

Grammy nominations for HFIA (114,673) by Edward from USA Gone are the days when the Grammys felt like they were about the music rather than popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if Mariah doesn't win anything next year, simply because she doesn't have the commercial relevance she once did. Let's be real, the narrative surrounding an artist seems to matter just as much as the music itself. Even Beyoncé looked genuinely surprised when she won Best Country Album for "Cowboy Carter" last year. Back in the '90s, it felt like an album didn't have to be a commercial success to win Album of the Year or Record of the Year. Something that flew under the radar could still get recognized if voters thought it deserved it. These days, it feels like the biggest names and cultural moments have the advantage before the envelope is even opened. The Grammys were never perfect, but I miss when winning one felt like recognition of musical excellence rather than another popularity contest. (Friday 9 October 2026; 16:34)

Grammy nominations for HFIA (114,671) by BFF from US HFIA is a deserving body of work, so it would be nice to have her win at least one. It's just a shame she didn't get anything for "Daydream" and "Butterfly" when she was arguably at her creative peak. It was also frustrating that they did not include the awards she won for "The Emanicipation of Mimi" during the televised broadcast in 2006. I think the Grammys have always suffered from a lack of balance and patterns of questionable decision making. It's hard to make sense of giving more awards to Beyonce (35) than to Aretha Franklin (18). Or even Taylor Swift (14) having more than Joni Mitchell (11). (Friday 9 October 2026; 13:29)

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (114,672) by BFF from US Yes. Throughout the years, Mariah has definitely shown a knack for transforming cover songs and making them her own. Mariah's version of "Christmas" is just so much more joyful than the original. The lead vocals and the background vocal arrangements make it so evident that she was having the time of her life working on that first Christmas album.

Article: Mariah Carey's photo with "The Last Supper" painting (114,668) by Rose from United States This picture looks like the meme of the little girl with the house burning behind her. (Friday 9 October 2026; 06:52)

Grammy nominations for HFIA (114,667) by Bobby A from United States It was reported yesterday that MC submiited several HFIA songs to the Grammys for nominations. We will find out on November 16th. Something tells me that this is the year. I say that because MC has had this glow about her for the past 2 months. It is like she is preparing for The Emancipation of Mimi era all over again. Everything this year since MC's Winter Olympics performance has been on beautiful. (Friday 9 October 2026; 05:25)

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (114,666) by Edward from USA I agree with you there, Bill. It'd better be the original album version. After what Darlene Love said about Mariah, she can go suck a lemon. (Friday 9 October 2026; 00:23) this is a reply to message 114,661

Article: Mariah Carey sends sweet video message to DWTS contestants (114,665) by Rose from United States I think the If It's Over cover is the only one I loved. (Thursday 8 October 2026; 18:14) this is a reply to message 114,660

Article: Mariah Carey sends sweet video message to DWTS contestants (114,660) by Bobby A from United States I watched the show live and the producers had amaeturs sing MC's songs. I found out after the Anytime You Need A Friend performance when Shazam did not recognize it. Lol. One male singer sounded really good on If It"s Over. I loved the singer who sang #Beautiful. I guess Sony Legacy or Def Jam would not approve ABC's price for MC's actual vocals. (Thursday 8 October 2026; 12:17)

Article: Mariah Carey sends sweet video message to DWTS contestants (114,662) by Chicago Lamb from USA It's not that her versions weren't approved, it's because it would have been too expensive. (Thursday 8 October 2026; 13:41)
