My observation (107,979) by Bobby A from United States
Did anyone else noticed last year, we became like family to each other? We showed more love and support to each other than in 2023 and 2022. Maybe it is just me. I read so many celebratory and love posts last year from all of us. Let's keep it going in 2025 to support each other around the world, those in L.A. and of course MC. I listen to Coast To Coast with George Noory at night and it just has me thinking more about what is happening everywhere in our world.

Spectacular show (107,977) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain
Lambs, this 2014 concert is just amazing. I haven't listened to it for ages. Her voice is crystal clear and you can't tell the little lipped parts apart.

California fires (107,976) by Norman from USA
Yup. It's been craziness over here. My sister and mom had just moved to LA from Minnesota in October and we found them a nice duplex rental in Altadena in December. Well, that's where the Eaton fire is, and this past Wednesday everything they owned burned down with the house. It was wild. They came to stay with me for a couple of days because they were going to have power outages in the area - that was Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning it was all gone. It's been difficult to process and know how to feel.

The main reason my sister moved back with my mom is because my mom has dementia, and most of our family is here in LA. Moving back was seen as good because we'd get to share in her day-to-day care, you know? Now everything's gone. And there are thousands of people without a home. We're blessed that they're still alive and that they could stay with me. A lot of people weren't that fortunate.

Please keep the people of LA in your thoughts. Thank you.

California fires (107,975) by Bobby A from United States
MC sold her Bel Air mansion with Nick in 2015. Her Calabasas chateau has been on and off the market since 2020. I don't know its current status in 2025. Homes in Calabasas have been affected by the Kenneth fire. It is just horrible what has happened to so many people in L.A. My heart goes out to everyone.

Does anyone know if MC has any properties in LA that were affected by the recent fires?

Missing studio pics solved (107,972) by Carlos from Brazil
Although it is almost impossible for Mariah to ever be shady to Beyoncé, according to this interview where Mariah said her concept was stolen, Beyoncé's album was dropped two months before that.

Oh gosh. I had to google the "bathroom floor" crisis since you mentioned it haha. Those were the days. I was so glad to find out there was a publication about it on Vulture Magazine.

Jarring (107,970) by Bobby A from United States
Did you notice that Columbia/Legacy didn't release a CD version like they did Music Box in 2023? To me it says a lot how the AR executives feel about Rainbow compared to Music Box. I would love to have a CD version.

Lol. I am going to try to fix it, but I not sure why my Samsung Android phone uploads my photo that way. I didn't have this problem with my LG phone.

I am trying to be optimistic. If we don't get a new single by June or July, I don't think a new album is coming again this year.

Jarring (107,966) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
So, I've been obsessed with my Rainbow 25 vinyl I got from my parents for Christmas. After endless listens, I understand why I've found it such a difficult album to vibe to.

Bliss is one of the best, most fitting, and gorgeous songs MC has ever created. It just fits her and no one else. Then suddenly, without warning, I'm b*tch slapped with that early-oughts Destiny's Child/P!nk beat. I was up in the clouds, floating... suddenly I'm getting hit with a guitar string pick, and a jarring beat. The instrumentation over took a Mariah/Usher collaboration.

That shouldn't have happened. Usher and Mariah both deserved more from their collaboration.

Mariah lost her mind like someone had just swapped her Louis Vuitton heels for a pair of knockoff flip-flops. As if the average listener could actually tell the difference between the version that got released and the one she wanted. But that was the perfectionist version of Mariah minus a pill or two.

Hahah I wonder if ISIL video was an attempt to make a [Breakdown] sequel. It has the similar story setting in Vegas, Mariah's a show girl, she's heartbroken, it's a beat ballad and so on. Although Breakdown song and video remains one of her best to date. I also didn't get the point of her blowing up the car haha. It's all too much. Mariah is an arsonist on the low with setting her car on fire and then her dress in "I Don't".

Refresh my memory please, did Taylor ever drop a demo version for that first? I can't remember, I didn't use to keep up with TS back then. But I remember her name being in the mix along with Beyoncé about who Mariah could be referring to. I know even later down the line people said she copied Mariah's "from the vault" visual. Where originally Mariah did some "from the vault" release and then Taylor used a similar visual for her re-record series? But Covid wiped out my memory so clearly I am missing chunks.

Haha I think even as a lamb that would have been too much for me. It baffles me why a story teller like Mariah has such weak videos. Speaking of JD, I am reminded of the Facebook TAOLG release and how it ended up being the wrong version and Mariah wrote her iconic "I'm on the bathroom floor" meltdown post.

I'm not saying it was a horrible video, but it certainly wasn't a good one either. Unless your idea of good visuals is the cliché of a woman prancing around and touching herself in a car. "I Don't" was the last decent standalone track she's released since "Triumphant" though.

Robert Anthony you are the voice of unwavering optimism on this board and I'm sorry you can't just abandon your role like a Mariah cookie. Yes her business side seems to be pretty ambiguous but we are barely a week into January. She has plenty of time to get her shit together and give us MC16 this fall.

I don't think she's hanging out with Anderson [.Paak] just for us to discuss their chemistry. They are cooking something. Her not having a contract/label is probably the reason we are not hearing much about MC16. She has repeatedly said it is coming. I believe once things fall into place she will be motivated enough to finish it off.

I don't think I Don't is MC's worst video as you are eluding to it being. Imagine 13 videos of I Stay In Love directed by Nick. I hate that video. I have only seen Daisy Duke travels to Las Vegas, but her car breaks down in the desert one time. Lol. I was not impressed with that video treatment. What were MC and Nick thinking?

I always thought it was going to be a 1989 concept and Mariah was going to drop her demo, with the original version and then a newly recorded version exactly how she wishes her debut was produced.

Are you sure you're not secretly related to Celine Dion?

I agree, Mariah couldn't have pulled off something like that. Imagine 13 "I Don't" type of videos and then, for the grand finale, a half-naked mermaid moment. That would've been career suicide. Thank God she had JD to guider her.

Oh my gosh yes you're right "it's all coming back to me now" hahah. I remember that, and I was thinking wait was MC really going to drop a surprise album like that's ambitious because look I love Mariah and she'll always be my #1 but she didn't have the pull to do a drop like that. Also if it was the other point of a "visual album", did we need 10-15 videos of Mariah looking beautiful and caressing herself hahah. it just didn't make sense to me at that time or even now. Beyonce's project was extremely ambitious and each of her videos were really well thought out (I may not love all of them but they were quite impressive nonetheless). So ya Mariah needs to spill the tea.
