iTune prompts (113,698) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Why doesn't Mariah ever do a paid "iTunes" prompt. I always get promotes for Kayne West (who I can't stand and I've never understood why people think he's revolutionary, even "Stay the Night" is always the one skip for me on Emancipation, too much screaming) and for Taylor Swift? I don't own a piece of music from these artists, but iTunes still hustles their tunes to me. Why doesn't Mariah do that? I always have to seek out her music since MIAM. Is that intentional, or does she not have a team who understands the music industry in 2026, which seems obvious? (Friday 24 April 2026; 22:14)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,697) by Stacey from USA HFIA felt like a return to that 90s vibe that made MC so successful. There were no guest rappers, only guest vocalists. The arrangements on the album are beautiful, mature, soulful, etc. The piano outro on NII sends chills down my spine every time. Such a powerful moment. The lyrics are her best IMO since Butterfly. That's why I'm so torn with HFIA. Her vocals can't keep up with the amazing arrangements and lyrics. I guess that's why I don't feel bad finding an AI version of some of these songs: My Love (Butterfly vocals), Jesus I Do (Music Box vocals), NII (Daydream vocals), HFIA (Daydream vocals). I listened to HFIA with Daydream vocals in my car and man, that is how that song needs to be sung, with those powerful vocals. I don't care if some thing that's a cop-out.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,695) by Bill from the UK Yes, I agree Stacey. I would go so far as to say that in terms of the direction, musicality, originality, and everything else, HFIA has been as bold a step forward as Music Box to Daydream, Daydream to Butterfly, and CB to Emancipation. Yet, sadly, the voice isn't there to support what I think are some of the best songs she's written in decades. Jesus I Do recorded with Merry Christmas vocals? HFIA in the Butterfly tone? Nothing Is Impossible with the force of Glitter? The album would be her best ever. (Friday 24 April 2026; 08:13)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,696) by Jamie from UK I love Play This Song, the vibe is great if the vocals compared to say Emancipation it would have surely done better. (Friday 24 April 2026; 09:43) this is a reply to message 113,694

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,694) by Stacey from USA Here For It All has that Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM vibe. It's just that the vocals don't match those earlier albums. I was listening to Play This Song on my way home from work yesterday, and that arrangement is brilliance. Maybe the melody and the song as whole isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the musicality is absolutely there 100%. That is why I'm so torn about HFIA. (Thursday 23 April 2026; 20:54)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,693) by Lainsky from Philippines I couldn't agree more. I thought I was the only one feeling this way, although the different Mariah for me begins after E=MC2. The disconnect, I mean. Perhaps her pop sound can still be heard from TEOM, Charmbracelet, and Glitter. They still have her 90s influence. How I wish, in case her voice gets revived, she'll release an album that sounds like Music Box or Daydream, at least. And she could title it with Reminisce or Reminiscing (nice title track for a first single too), Back to Basics (although Christina Aguilera already used this title), Classic, Classic Sound, or Old School. Again, just wishing. (Thursday 23 April 2026; 14:39)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,682) by Jamie from UK This is the problem now, the negativity starts to over shadow the greatness. Most fans on here this past week have been honest and truthful about her current state and by some it's been seen as bashing. All we want for Mariah is for her to be remembered for how great she was, and to have the respect she so deserves. We are still fans, probably even more so than the yass queens because we truly care about Mariah and her legacy. I'm at the point now if she were to bow out and call it a day I'm cool with that. It doesn't mean I don't believe in her, I just don't want her to be ridiculed and ruin her legacy. I was listening to Dreamlover the other day whilst out on a walk, and I got a feeling of not being able to relate to that Mariah with the way she is at the moment, to me it's like she's lost her personality, and I can't match the two together. Whilst only a brief feeling it occurred to me that if I'm feeling like this as a super fan then the general public only see what they see now. To me there's always been two Mariah's pre and post breakdown that I've had difficulty matching up but at the moment she's neither of these which is even more difficult for me to process.

Article: Rock Hall is not my fantasy (113,692) by Lady B from USA She probably bought a mansion in one of the more affluent areas just outside the city. Makes sense to get a yard, pool, more space, etc. Good for her. (Wednesday 22 April 2026; 19:26) this is a reply to message 113,691

Article: Rock Hall is not my fantasy (113,691) by Chicago Lamb from USA In this TMZ clip, Mariah says she's buying or has bought a place "outside of the city". About an hour north of the city, likely to get the kids in a more controllable environment? (Wednesday 22 April 2026; 13:56)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,690) by TJ from Norway This has to be by far the best comment I've read in a long time. This describes ithe situation perfectly. (Wednesday 22 April 2026; 04:50) this is a reply to message 113,684

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,684) by Bill from the UK Good post. The issue I have is there is a whole generation now who only know her as this extravagant diva, who shuffles around like some aging silver screen actress in denial about her fading youth. They know her for a Christmas song that swings by every year, defrosting, and being a diva. They didn't see If It's Over on SNL. They didn't witness the Daydream tour (I attended London by the way). They didn't get swept up in Joy to the World at St John the Divine. They see her getting wheeled out every so often to lip sync, grumble about the bad lighting, have a pop at J.Lo, and then get carried away as the Butterfly outro plays. The bad now outweighs the good. (Tuesday 21 April 2026; 09:22)

Article: Mariah Carey traded her signature gowns for pants in NYC (113,688) by Bobby A from United States I think that performing gets MC all wound up.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,679) by Giovanni from USA If Mariah has no plans to retire and wants to be successful again and wants to get her voice back I think naming her next album The Revival Of Mariah Carey would truly be the best album title of her career and would make a statement. I thought when she released her memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey that it would have been an excellent album title. I wish Mariah would get a new circle of people/team. I would like her to rest more and work on her voice and come back with a new album in 2027 or 2028. I was so sad and angry at all the horrible comments I read on social media regarding her recent performance at T&Co. She was getting dragged left and right even commenting on her hair. She definitely has lost respect from the public and not just as of now, for awhile. Sadly she's seen as a joke to many as it's all about the glamour and less about her voice. I hope those of you who are religious can keep Mariah in your prayers and ask God to help and protect her. We already lost MJ and Whitney we cannot lose MC. (Monday 20 April 2026; 05:15)

Here It For All (113,681) by TJ from Norway Is it the range, or the nasal metallic sound that is the problem with her voice these days? I tried to listen to the same song a couple of weeks ago, but I had to turn it off, because the sound of her voice just hurt my ears. It is not pleasant to listen to.

Here It For All (113,677) by Bobby A from United States I listened to the ballad HFIA today and you can tell MC's 90s voice is still there underneath all that is ailing her vocal chords. I hope MC finds a doctor who can help improve accessing her range again. I believe miracles can happen if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed. (Monday 20 April 2026; 02:29)

2010 voice (113,680) by Giovanni from USA If Mariah were to revive her voice I would just wish she could sound like she did in 2010 on her second Christmas album. Perfect angelic tone and strong. (Monday 20 April 2026; 05:22)

Here It For All (113,678) by Giovanni from USA I agree Bobby, what needs to happen is for Mariah to get the nodules removed. I already had posted that I wouldn't say anything about it anymore but after reading the comments on social media regarding her performance Tiffany &Co. I had to. Mariah needs an intervention and someone to tell her like it is. I want the best for her and don't want her to ruin her legacy. I know she can do it but she needs a new circle of people and a new team. (Monday 20 April 2026; 04:52) this is a reply to message 113,677

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,676) by Stacey from USA Lead the Way is ballad perfection, much like Till the End of Time. No touchy touchy. Leave it alone.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,674) by Tijl from Belgium "Lead the Way" is out of this world, or even this universe. When I play it to friends they are gobsmacked. It is by far her most impressive vocal performance. I cherish the recording but attempting a live version in her current state would do more damage than the New Years' 6Eve debacle. Once upon a time she was above anyone in her field. She will always be in my heart but we should all accept that real artistry has its time and place. (Sunday 19 April 2026; 19:33)
