Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,126) by Jamie from UK
This would be amazing if Mariah and Walter could reunite. Maybe she's thinking if this is gonna be my last album, let's take it back to my roots.

The Grammys and Mariah's residency (108,125) by Jono from USA
While I am a huge Beyonce fan as well, I think the issue should be with the Recording Academy and how they've wrongfully snubbed Mariah for so many years. I also think it's impossible for a show like the Grammys to ever make everybody happy because music tastes are so diverse that someone is always going to be upset. I take Beyonce's AOTY win as them making up for the past times she rightfully should've won. Whether or not you liked Cowboy Carter, you have to admit that it's extremely impressive, her previous album was a house record and this one is country. There is zero crossover with those two genres, so I think we need to give her credit that she's still challenging herself.

Now on to Mariah - I no longer watch videos of her shows, only because it's just a shell of who she is. I can tell her heart isn't in it anymore. She's always preferred the studio, so I'd rather her release new music rather than tour - although that's the way for musicians to make the big money nowadays. We know Mariah isn't a dancer, but at least she used to move around the stage and command the audience. I remember during the pandemic, Mariah said the extra time and rest let her voice heal, but I have yet to see proof of that outside of the studio. Still hoping for new music this year.

She has more Grammys than Mariah, Celine, Madonna, Janet and Whitney combined. Crazy.

Article: Barbra Streisand new album will feature song with Mariah (108,123) by Edward from USA
That's a one I didn't see coming. I'm actually excited.

The Grammys (108,122) by BFF from United States
I agree. I think it's so regrettable that critics and the award shows did not properly appreciate Mariah during her prime years. "Butterfly" was such a great album and should have been nominated for more awards. Sony also should have promoted it better and allowed "Breakdown" and/or "The Roof" to be official singles in the United States. It's also frustrating that "Butterfly" received a radio-only release, as it definitely could have gone to #1 and is one of her best ballads.

"Butterfly" the song was nominated for best pop vocal performance but lost to Sarah McLachlan's "Building a Mystery", which I thought deserved the award. But Mariah should have gotten something for the album.

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,121) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Honestly, I don't need Ariana on it, but Barbra and Mariah that sounds cool. I still would prefer a Mariah only release. But Barbra and Mariah that could be a big surprise. I'm ecxited for it.

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,120) by Bobby A from United States
It is one possible way that could lead to MC being played on Pop radio again besides a Christmas song. I am here for more pop collaborations especially with Walter A. What if a truce happened and we had no idea that Walter A. and MC are on good terms in 2025.

If Barbra wants to work with MC, everything must be A okay with her voice. This is wonderful news.

"It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin." Absolutely, that is just wrong. I can't take that award show seriously. It has become a joke like a Muppet Show.

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,117) by Shezz from Pk
If she can produce vocals good enough to sing with Barbra and Ariana on the same song, then that puts to bed rumours that her vocals are why she’s not recording an album. I think Mariah would not sign off on such a collaboration unless her voice could pull it off.

The Grammys (108,114) by Zachariah from Croatia
It is an absolute travesty that Butterfly wasn't nominated for an album of the year. It is a masterpiece and since then, I don't follow Grammy's any more.

Wild rumours circulating about Mariah having done a song with Barbra S and Ariana reported by many sites for Barbra's next album. One site actually reported Walter A is the album's producer.

Really? (108,112) by Edward from USA
Not only did Beyonce win Best Country Album, but she also took home Country Album of the Year, an absolute travesty. Even she seemed shocked to receive the award. The Grammys have become a complete joke. What's next, Best Fart of the Year? Give me fat effing break.

The Grammys (108,111) by BFF from United States
Grammys that Mariah was nominated for and should have won by the year:

1991
"Vision of Love" should have won for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It's a better song and vocal performance than any of the others that nominated.

1996
"Daydream" should have won Best Pop Vocal Album. Joni Mitchell's "Turbulent Indigo" is not anywhere near Mitchell's best work, and "Daydream" is a better album.
"One Sweet Day" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" and "Record of the Year". I loved Seal's "Kiss From a Rose", but it didn't need to win Song of the Year and Record of the Year. And why wasn't "One Sweet Day" nominated for "Song of the Year"?

2000
"When You Believe" should have won "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas did not need to win in this category.

2006
"We Belong Together" should have won Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It is undeniable that this song was the biggest of the year, and to give the awards to Green Day and U2 was slap in the face to Mariah when she had a great year.

The Grammys (108,110) by Edward from USA
I would never put Beyonce in the same sentence with Mariah or Whitney, they simply can't be compared. I think people like Beyonce because she has maintained a polished public image, she's likable, and she has some good songs too. When it comes to her Grammy wins, it's astonishing to think that she has more than Mariah and Whitney combined, it just doesn't add up. One thing is undeniable though: Beyonce is a phenomenal entertainer.

The Grammys (108,109) by Jamie from UK
I agree. I loved her in the early days but her music has just gone weird. Her hype is more famous than her actual content. And the fact she has 35 Grammys when she's only had 7 solo number one songs on Billboard baffles me. All her albums have gone to number one on Billboard but if you look at majority of the singles from those albums since 2011 hardly any of them have scrapped into the top 30 let alone the top 20. I definitely smell a rat with Beyoncé and Jay Z. And that video clip of her "surprise" at winning best album, I'm not buying it, it looked completely fake and staged.

I don't even understand what is she singing about. I can only focus on her first three albums - the rest is just a noise in my ears. And I tried.

The Grammys (108,107) by Tameka walker from United states
I do agree with you. I heard she has people that write for her and she doesn't give them their credit. I think she is over rated and she is not as gifted as a singer as Mariah or songwriter when it comes to songwriting and singing that's all Mariah. Mariah can't sing like she used to but in her prime Mariah was a force to be reckoned with, her and Whitney. Beyoncé only got that album of the year because [Jay Z] moaned and complained at last year Grammys. When Beyonce first started her solo career it seemed like she couldn't do anything without [Jay] from [Crazy in love] to Dejuve, she have had some good songs but she is not as good as Whitney or Mariah. Those women had some phenomenal voices in their prime. Beyoncé to me is just okay that is it. Another I would like to add is that she is no Michael Jackson either. Michael was. On some other level to me she isn't on I got all of Whitney. Mariah and Michael. I brought [Dangerously in love] and B Day I have only brought like 3 [Beyonce] albums and it was only 3 to 3 songs on each that I liked. With the other three I liked the majority of the songs and I feel like Mariah has always been robbed by the Grammys if you can give Beyonce all those Grammys you can give Mariah some too. To me I think the Grammys lost their credibility.

Beyoncé's music was decent at the beginning of her solo career up until the album "4". Particularly, "B'Day" had some good songs on it.

Her recent albums often seem like they are written/produced by committees of tastemakers rather than organically produced as collaborations. And she just doesn't have deep, meaningful songs the way that Mariah and others do.

It also feels wrong that Beyoncé has more Grammy Awards than Aretha Franklin. The Recording Academy has really eroded its credibility with these types of decisions.

Oops. I can't believe I forgot those, especially Endless Love. There really are so many, and I was so focused on remembering the more obscure ones that I forgot some obvious ones.
