Confetti and Champagne (112,092) by Bobby A from United States I would love for MC to work with just four producer/songwriter partners and one female songwriter only for her next album. It would be a formula for TEOM II. 1. Babyface, Darryl Simmons, and Antonio Dixion 2. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis 3. Tricky Stewart, Ben Parris, and Kuk Harrell 4. Tank and J. Valentine 5. Muni Long (Saturday 25 October 2025; 14:08) this is a reply to message 112,089

Confetti and Champagne (112,089) by TJ from Norway I would rather have something from the vault than another HFIA. Release the demotape, the version of All in My Mind that she teased us with during covid. There are more songs from that time that I would love to listen to. Release Someone's Ugly Daughter. That is an album I definitely would play over and over again. Release an album with old cover songs. Release more live stuff on videos. I know there are a lot of them. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 10:59)

X-Girlfriend (112,091) by Bill from the UK I think if there was they would have been put on the special edition. She rushed that album and half of it is made up of interludes and remixes so I doubt she had anything left. I think the only song from that period was There For Me which I assume wasn't ready for when the album was released. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 11:28) this is a reply to message 112,083

X-Girlfriend (112,083) by Giovanni from USA To be honest although it's a good song and very 1999 it's probably my least favorite on Rainbow. I love the Rainbow album. I would like to know are there any unreleased songs that didn't make the album? I definitely wanna hear them. (Friday 24 October 2025; 20:18)

Confetti and Champagne (112,090) by Bill from the UK Don't worry, her next album will sell even less, that's the way of the world. The important thing is that we all love and enjoy the music she's making, and I've not seen anyone yet say they don't think she gifted us a great album.

Confetti and Champagne (112,085) by Travis from USA I do because the "Lambs" never support or show Mariah the love, ever. I would say, in my opinion that "Here For It All" is better than "Caution", yet, it's now her worst selling album for this time period to date. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 02:57)

Confetti and Champagne (112,082) by Giovanni from USA That would be career suicide and I'm sure Mariah knows that. I had read somewhere that MC17 would likely come out in 2027. Mariah has to have more music saved up for another album. (Friday 24 October 2025; 20:16)

Confetti and Champagne (112,088) by Edward from USA Saying the "lambs" never support or show love to her evee is unfair. The truth is, there just aren't that many of us left in the US anymore. We've always shown up for her. She sold what she sold because of that loyalty. Unfortunately, the casual listeners don't seem as interested these days, and they're the ones who really drive major album sales. Personally, I bought one copy, gifted another to my sister, and still stream it from time to time. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 05:39) this is a reply to message 112,085

HFIA a month after (112,087) by Lambi from USA I love how you tallied it up and tied in HFIA. Galing naman. I agree about her formula, she is indeed hip-hop and is just being herself. Are you part of MCPhilippines? (Saturday 25 October 2025; 03:51) this is a reply to message 112,070

HFIA a month after (112,070) by Lainsky from Philippines After listening to the album twice a day, almost every day for nearly a month now, I thought of ranking it with the rest of her albums. Additionally, I considered ranking the singles according to my personal preference. I excluded Christmas albums and compilations intentionally. 1. Butterfly (It will always be on top.) 2. Glitter (It has grown so much in me that it made it to second best.) 3. Music Box (Top Pop album for me.) 4. Daydream (Top Pop & R&B.) 5. E=MC2 (While it is a second version of Mimi, I like more songs in here.) 6. The Emancipation of Mimi 7. Here For It All (If it were released in the 90s, it could be a sure-fire hit.) 8. Caution (I think it will do way better if released during, instead of MIAMTEC.) 9. Rainbow 10. Mariah Carey 11. Charmbracelet 12. Emotions 13. Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel 14. Me I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse And for the singles of HFIA - I ranked them through my '90s & early '00s self, lol. I realized that her "formula" has not changed, which I believe represents her musical artist identity. 1. Type Dangerous 2. Sugar Sweet 3. In Your Feelings 4. Play This Song 5. I Won't Allow It 6. My Love 7. Nothing Is Impossible 8. Here For It All 9. Jesus I Do 10. Mi 11. Confetti & Champagne There's still hope for this album through continuous promotion and releasing singles with nice music videos. In Your Feelings, My Love, I Won't Allow It, and finally, the title track are good potential hits. She can reduce their price (like they used to in the 90s) as a Christmas gift. They can tie the promotion during this season. Nothing is impossible, right? (Friday 24 October 2025; 06:22)

Confetti and Champagne (112,086) by Lambi from USA I don't think her drive is dead. MIAMTEC took a while because dem babies were still dependent. The waiting period between MIAMTEC and Caution was 4 years and that's not that far apart from the 3 years in between Charmbracelet, Emancipation and E=MC2. Mariah wrote a whole book in 2020 (she locked in at 2017) so HFIA taking that long is pretty valid. I'd say she is just more chill with writing now, no rush, just let ideas cook and simmer and it'll be released when it's ready. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 03:44) this is a reply to message 112,084

Confetti and Champagne (112,076) by Libra Lamb from USA Give it about 6-8 years for MC 17, if not more. (Friday 24 October 2025; 13:51)

X-Girlfriend (112,077) by Zachariah from Croatia Yesterday, while driving to work, X-Girlfriend popped up on my Spotify and what an amazing up beat song it is. I totally forgot about it how good it is. That whole album is so fresh and perfect blend between Butterfly and Glitter. HFIA is so so good. Every day I find something new in it to be excited for. Year 2025 was good and I am happy. (Friday 24 October 2025; 15:05)

Falsetto (112,081) by Giovanni from USA I agree, I already want more songs haha. I'm very selfish and never satisfied so I want another album soon. I would love some jazz tracks and more gospel. (Friday 24 October 2025; 20:13) this is a reply to message 112,074

Falsetto (112,074) by MusicfanJ from Germany The song grows on me by each listen. It's such a beautiful song. The best on the album with "My Love" and "Nii". I love the piano, her voice on it and even the change to the "praise" part. Such a special song. It was good to name the album after this song, Mariah knew why. The album brings so much joy. (Friday 24 October 2025; 10:44)

Which song would've you picked? (112,080) by Giovanni from USA I thought Mariah did a very good job with "My love". In fact I think it's one of her best song covers. It fits perfectly on the album. (Friday 24 October 2025; 20:11) this is a reply to message 112,071

Which song would've you picked? (112,071) by Lambi from USA I love her cover of My Love. I don't know why but I have a feeling it's probably a song Patricia loved and Mariah probably had great memories growing up with it. Absolutely stunning tribute. (Friday 24 October 2025; 08:13)

HFIA a month after (112,079) by Randy from USA We have different tastes. My revised list of the best Mariah Carey albums is: 1. Butterfly 2. Daydream 3. Music Box 4. Rainbow 5. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel 6. Mariah Carey 7. The Emancipation of Mimi 8. Merry Christmas 9. Glitter 10. Here For It All 11. Emotions 12. E=MC2 13. Merry Christmas II You 14. Caution 15.

Confetti and Champagne (112,078) by Edward from USA I think she would be crazy to make that mistake twice, especially now that she's pushing 60. At that age, I just don't see her singing stuff like "GTFO" or "I'm a bad bitch". I really believe she realized with the "HFIA' release that the longer she waits between projects, the more people start to disconnect, it just happens to every artist eventually. It's happened with Barbra too, but Mariah's almost 27 years her junior, so in my humble opinion, she still has time to keep dropping good music if she plays it smart and don't take too much time between releases. With great collabos with relevant mainstream artists, in which she really puts in the effort, she could still keep some decent success going for a while. What she needs to stay away from is the lazy or half-baked uninspired stuff. When I heard her voice on Yes, And?, I swear I thought MC16 was doomed. But "HFIA" showed that when Mariah actually cares and puts herself into it, she can still deliver the goods. I even thought that Clark Sisters collabo was going to be a screaming mess, but it ended up being one of my favorites on the album. (Friday 24 October 2025; 16:15) this is a reply to message 112,076

Confetti and Champagne (112,066) by Bobby A from United States Haha. I didn't like it as much when the album came out, but I have to play it all the time driving home from work. I am looking forward to MC17 in 2027 and the return of JD. (Friday 24 October 2025; 02:33)

Saying hello (112,075) by Mi.I.am.A.Lamb from Poland Hi fellow Lambs. I've been following this message board since day 1 but somehow never posted here anything. Just wanted to say hi to you all. I've been a lamb since 1994 (Music Box got me here) and there isn't a day when I didn't listen to Mariah's music and supporting her through streaming and buying her records (I have all the CDs, vinyls, singles and casettes). Wishing you all a good day whenever you will read this. (Friday 24 October 2025; 13:37)

Falsetto (112,065) by Giovanni from USA That falsetto note Mariah is hitting at the end of "Here for it all" during the "you got to praise him" verse is amazing, because I don't think I have ever heard Mariah do a falsetto like that ever. Patti Labelle and Beyonce are the queens of falsetto notes in my opinion and that falsetto reminded me so much of Patti. Mariah should have done more especially in her prime. Monica is another who is known for them as well. "Here for it all" is the favorite song on the album by most of the people I know. I think it's her best ballad since "Portrait" but "Portrait" is still my favorite. (Friday 24 October 2025; 01:41)

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,073) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah, that was my second thought. They have money and will pay a lot to get a "name" like Mariah's there. (Friday 24 October 2025; 10:32) this is a reply to message 112,062

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,062) by TJ from Norway There's alot of countries I would avoid in the Middle East to hold a concert just because of human rights and such things, but there's money down there, and obviously money talks. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 19:41)

New tour date alert: February 2026 (112,072) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right. I didn't think of that. Does anyone know if it will be a smaller venue or a bigger one? I'm still surprised that she's doing another concert in February. (Friday 24 October 2025; 10:27) this is a reply to message 112,060

Which song would've you picked? (112,071) by Lambi from USA I love her cover of My Love.

Which song would've you picked? (112,059) by jaker20 from US Hindsight is 20/20 but if we can see the future, I would have just released My Love if its up to me. Type Dangerous sounds it tried appeal to the chart, but it does not fit into the album. It sticks out. It's only a good single if the entire album have that same spirit, which is club, hip-hop and modern a bit edgy, t-shirts and tight booty shorts aesthetics. Type Dangerous isn't her anymore, unless she miraculously one day learns choreo. Then Sugar Sweet again sounds different like a different direction. The album isn't like those. And she can't sustain that sound and look anyway as this point of her career. Even on the promo circuit she looks madam which is her, it supports the album's style. So in comes My Love which is classic Mariah. It's a remake, but it is her right now, soulful, delicate, intimate, ethereal. And it represents the album's sound and her current aesthetics. Then follow up with Play this Song or Confetti or I won't Allow It. I'm literally choosing songs no one would think would chart", but that is the point. She is still chasing the chart, go high enough, but she can't really go all the way because that is not her anymore. I think the only way Mariah will have some chart success again is either completely change her sound to fit into current pop landscape (not gong to happen), stop making Christmas music because her image is to associated with it (not going to happen), collab with new artist (she's tried that, didn't work), or be on a soundtrack of a hit film or series (works only by chance if the stars are aligned). So I think its time for Mariah to just be Mariah, and then maybe she will chart Because that's something she can embody moving forward. She doesn't have to change herself. Think Nora Jones in the 2000s, no belting, just smooth soul, velvety vocals. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 18:38)

I don't understand, does she need the money that bad? Or is her so called team going to run her into the ground like Amy Winehouse? Either way, the lamb followers are going to make excuses and call it a "one off" or "just for the fans" but the truth is these enablers are going to end up killing her.
