Yours (112,417) by Bobby A from United States We will never hear Yours until JT is no longer recording for RCA. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 20:29) this is a reply to message 112,411

Yours (112,411) by Lambi from USA I wonder why JT's version was never released? I actually think he's vocally good and definitely a formative collaborator. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 09:58)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,416) by Stacey from USA Thanks. It was fun collecting stuff for a time. I've been listening to Christmas music for a week now. I can't help myself, lol. I love this time of year. It always goes by so fast. I grew up listening to the classics. That's what I listen to now.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,403) by TJ from Norway I remember that you sold your collection. I was impressed. I still buy some stuff, but it's collection dust, as I said earlier. It's my guilty pleasure. I can't wait until December 1st, when I finally can listen to some Christmas music. Mariah for the joy and fun, Connie Francis for the nostalgia. Her version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas " and "White Christmas " are my favourite Christmas songs. Everyone on this board should have a listening session to both songs. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 20:13)

Summer Walker (112,415) by Shezz from Pk Bobby A thank you for that song. I'veeen listening to it all day. I hope Mariah is working on the deluxe and that she does release it next year after the Christmas season is over. HFIA is too good an album to let it just die so soon. I hope there is some truth to the Bruno Mars remix or collaboration rumours. Sadly she needs some big name collabs like Bruno, Sza and hopefully Paul McCartney comes through as well. I think she's worked too hard on HFIA to let it go so soon. At first I thought the album release was badly planned right being just a month before Christmas season but in some ways it makes sense. It'll get another life after her Christmas popularity. I'm hoping she gets at least a couple weeks at n1 to regain her title. Last Christmas is hot on her tail right behind her just 10 points apart. I would be happy if it gets to n1 as well as long as Mariah gets a few weeks to get that longest running n1 back. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 16:35) this is a reply to message 112,408

Summer Walker (112,408) by Bobby A from United States Summer Walker samples ABMB on her song Baby with Chris Brown. It is so good. The Atlanta sound shines on this one. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 23:16)

Bruno (112,414) by Dove from United States That would sound really good. I love both of their voices and sounds. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 12:52) this is a reply to message 112,412

Bruno (112,412) by Lambi from USA That's been debunked because Grammys will be on February 1, 2026. I do hope there's some legs to a Bruno collaboration though. And if they do a song together, I hope they write it too. They're both vocally set apart from their contemporaries and both are undeniably gifted songwriters. The result will most likely be a monstrous banger. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 10:16)

Collection (112,413) by Dove from United States I have all of her albums on CD but that's it. No specials or promos anymore. I have an old laptop that I have most of her songs uploaded on as a backup. Oh and the mp3 versions I bought on Amazon but those don't sound as good as the CDs. Sometimes I contemplate buying all of her albums on vinyl, but I'm not really a vinyl kind of girl. I think I would just want them for the artwork to display on a wall. The one picture I have of her is one I printed out myself (on good art print paper). It's the picture of her for Harper's Bazaar in 2015 where she dressed up as Marie Antoinette on the swing. I have it up on my wall with the rest of my family members, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II - even though I'm not Republican or Catholic. It's kind of an inside joke because my first husband was a Republican and a Catholic and he had a picture of Ronald Reagan and a picture of that pope on our wall like he personally knew them. I used to think it was strange but I'm the same way with Mariah. Oh, and now that they exist, her Christmas Funko doll and Barbie come out every November 1st. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 12:47)

Bruno (112,407) by Bobby A from United States Bruno Mars would sound good on IYF. I hope the rumor floating around on social media is true that they will perform the remix on the Grammys in January. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 23:13)

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,399) by BFF from United States I actually believe it in the sense that I think the idea was proposed to Mariah by Island/Def Jam but she shot it down really quickly. It sounds like the proposal came around 2002-2004 when Jennifer Lopez's career was surging and Mariah was still in the wilderness from the "Glitter" fallout. I don't think the duet was ever going to happen, but the idea being proposed to her sounds credible to me. I also remember Mariah recording a version of "Yours" with Justin Timberlake and the information that Mariah had collaborated with Daniel Bedingfield as well. It sounds like Island/Def Jam was trying to pressure Mariah into these duets to ensure a "hit" for "Charmbracelet", but it was clear that Mariah's vision for "Charmbracelet" was healing and catharsis and not commercial appeal. I think it was the right move to table all of these collaborations during that period. Otherwise, Mariah would have been accused of riding those people's coattails back to the charts. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 14:53)

Yours (112,410) by Edward from USA Mariah wanted "Yours" with Justin Timberlake released as a single, but at the time he was at the peak of his solo career, and his label thought associating him with her could hurt his image. They still viewed the "Glitter" situation as a liability, so the collaboration never got the green light despite Mariah pushing for it.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,409) by Edward from USA That's why I rip all my CDs in an uncompressed (lossless) format so they sound as they were intended. I carry her entire collection on my cellphone. In case there's something wrong with Internet, I can still listen to them. (Sunday 16 November 2025; 03:40) this is a reply to message 112,404

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,404) by TJ from Norway I was a hard core collector from 1993 to 2007, and was able to get most of the cd singles from 1990 to 1992 later on. I remember looking at cd singles in 1990, and I didn't understand why I should buy them. Stupid me. Learning by doing. Spotify is not as good as a cd when it comes to the sound. It's always a pleasure to hear a song on radio, because then you realise how bad the sound on Spotify is. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 20:18)

Bruno (112,396) by Giovanni from USA Apparently there's a rumor that Bruno might be doing a female collab with a so called "great singer". Could be anyone but I'm really hoping it's MC. There are plenty of great singers as of now but none hold a candle to Mariah. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:48)

Top 10 (112,406) by Edward from USA Great news, you guys. "AIWFCIY" is predicted to crack the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, jumping from #31 to #10. We'll know for sure once the chart updates tomorrow. If it maintains this momentum, it will hit the top spot as early as the following week, fingers crossed. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 21:46)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,387) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the good old poster days. My room was full of it. Lol. Kids today almost miss everything that was so much fun back then. I have every album (incl. best of, remix cd, greatest hits, the Rarities, anniversary edition of Music Box, Christmas editions) from Mariah on CD, every single since 98, some from "Music Box" era, the debut on vinyl and "Daydream" on cassette. Plus the released DVD's and VHS in Europe. And a lot of "rare" songs and mixes on self-burned CD's. As Bill said, digital will never beat psychical. Never. (Friday 14 November 2025; 13:20)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,389) by Stacey from USA I had a huge collection back in the day. I collected mostly CD promos and rare commercial releases. I was after all kinds of different versions of songs. My collecting days brought me to this website. I trusted Eric's discography as accurate for legit releases vs fakes. I even have a few items listed on his discography. I sold off my collection around 2008 as I was pregnant with my first baby. My priorities had changed. The music landscape was changing away from cool promo CDs to something more digital. It was fun for a time. I met some amazing fellow collectors. But ultimately it was time to move on.

I won't allow it (112,402) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought it's about Nick. Someone wrote on here in the US, there's a proactive organization or something he was a member of? It's indeed a fun song, I love it too. Maybe "Confetti and Champagne" is about Bryan, who knows. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 112,395

I won't allow it (112,395) by Giovanni from USA This song is one of Mariah's best. Very good music and production. I bet Mariah had fun recording this and I'm sure Tanaka knows it's about him. Guess I was wrong about him as he had us fooled. Shame on him, he should have been more proactive. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:36)

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,401) by MusicfanJ from Germany Damizza seems even worse than Eminem. I also hope he will stop to sell lies. He looks like a looser. I love the pure imagination remix, but I can't stand this man with all his bad behavior. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:34) this is a reply to message 112,394

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,394) by Giovanni from USA I think he's talented but a liar. I don't think Mariah dated him at all. Of course I don't know this for sure but he doesn't strike me as Mariah's type. It's clear Damizza had feelings for MC or at least was attracted to her and then got in his feelings because Mariah cut ties with him. I don't like how he tries to take credit for TEOM especially with "Well belong together". That was all MC and JD. I hate it when people try to take credit for MC's work (Walter). (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:30)

Monroe's post (112,400) by MusicfanJ from Germany Right. I wouldn't like to change with "poor" Monroe and Roc. Not for all the money, if it means to have such a father. It will only get tougher when they are grown-ups and they fully realize what he did to Mariah her mother and them by being a narcissist, bad mouth and cheater. I really hope Mariah finds one day a true caring man/soul. It's never to late. Mariah never had a father who's really there and we all can imagine how many pain and wounds it was causing for a daughter. But compared to Nick Mr. Roy Carey seems like good man at heart. I'm sure he loved Pat and Mariah deeply but the circumstances weren't on their side at that time (60ies, early 70ies). (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:27) this is a reply to message 112,391

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,390) by Randy from USA I saw this and cursed out my phone. This never happened. Like MC once said, what would that sound like, I sing and she does something else. I totally don't believe it and I wish he'd get a life or a career besides discussing a woman he hasn't seen or talked to in 20+ years. Dirtball. Every time he talks I feel the need to bathe in some sudsy ammonia. I hope he's not on the hand. (Friday 14 November 2025; 21:16)

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,398) by Lambi from USA In 2002-2003, a Mariah x J-Lo x Joe Budden remix actually made sense. Joe was rising with "Pump It Up", Trackmasters/Clue were tied to his camp, Mariah had just joined Def Jam and needed a strong comeback moment, and J-Lo and Mariah's quiet rivalry probably made the idea even more appealing to the labels. A collab would've been an orchestrated PR move but I'm glad Mariah kept her integrity as an artist. "I mean I'm not sure how that would sound" is correct.
