Damizza linking up with Jaguar Wright? (109,281) by DivergentIntel from United States of America I almost feel like Damizza is gonna end up teaming up with Jaguar Wright for an interview. That is where all of this is heading. Some nasty work in these internet and entertainment streets. Sigh. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:57)

Damizza (109,280) by DivergentIntel from United States of America Damizza has been saying all of this for years. He said it in his 2011 tell all book which is available for free online still on his website and else where. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:56) this is a reply to message 109,270

Damizza (109,270) by RL from USA Regardless of if we don't like what he's saying, and if it is irrelevant, my question is if there is any validity to what he is saying. (Friday 13 June 2025; 16:50)

Emotions (109,279) by DivergentIntel from United States of America Yes, at the time Emotions album was released, songs/singles could not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 if an official single/copy was not released for sale. Back then radio play or radio airplay plus sales were the heavy base determining factor for a song/single to be able to chart on the main Billboard Hot 100. Before the fall of 1998 or before late 1998, Billboard would not allowa any song/single to chart on the main Billboard Hot 100 chart without an official physical singe and copy released for sale. But after the fall of 1998 or late 1998, then you could chart without having an physical single copy released and airplay alone was at the bare minimum was allowed to let you chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Tommy Mottola and Columbia Records, which was her label at the time, decided to pull the Can't Let Go single from the shelves while it was at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, which prevented the song/single from going to #1 in a perceived and/or intended effort to get the album sales of Emotions to increase. I think this is a was a horrible move on the part of Columbia or Tommy Mottola or whoever made that recommendation and/or decision to do that. Mariah Carey perhaps should have gone on a World Tour to help promote Emotions which could have perhaps increased sales of the Emotions album. They also could have discounted or reduced the price of Emotions album for a time to boost potential sales. Also doing more remixes could have drew more people into interest in the album. Either way, Emotions album still went 4x or 5x platinum in the USA alone, and many more additional millions of copies sold extra outside of the USA. Emotions album was originally supposed to be released in August of 1991, but then its release date got pushed back to over 1 month to September of 1991. I think it would have been better had they released it as originally planned in August of 1991. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:55) this is a reply to message 109,263

Emotions (109,263) by Jamie from UK I've been reflecting on the Emotions album this morning and how it didn't perform as well as Mariah Carey. I personally love this album and the lead single is a total smash. The soul and depth on the album is something I love. It surprises me that it didn't get to number one one on the Billboard 200. Columbia even held back sales of Can't Let Go stopping it going to number 1, to help increase sales of the album. I wonder now had they let Can't Let Go (which I love) go to number one would sales of the album have increased naturally. Maybe initially Columbia didn't put as much money in to the albums promotional release hoping they could spend less and just rely on the success off Mariah Carey. Just surprises me with such a strong lead single and the quality of the tracks on Emotions, that it didn't sell better. It's full of very strong power ballads which were very popular then, and mixed with some great pop songs, I love To Be Around You no and Till The End Of Time. Interested to hear peoples take on it, especially my American friends that were there at the time. (Friday 13 June 2025; 09:58)

Damizza (109,278) by DivergentIntel from United States of America The stuff that Damizza said recently in an interview regarding Mariah Carey and Eminem is not new information at all. That is old stale news and stuff that he has been saying for years. If y'all remember his tell all book which was released in 2011, he went in depth into detail on his relationship and situation and dealings with Mariah Carey over the years and their journey together including the Eminem and Mariah Carey debacle etc. Damizza also implied that he was in a sexual and/or romantic relationship with Mariah Carey as well. What baffled me is that if what he was saying is true, then that means Mariah Carey was sexually and romantically involved with Derek Jeter, Luis Miguel, Damizza, Eminem all during the same time. There was also reports of Mariah Carey being with other men or courting other men as well during that same time. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:40)

BET Awards (109,277) by DivergentIntel from United States of America I feel that Mariah Carey should have been given a special tribute performance, for her Ultimate Icon Award. Mariah Carey should have been given a Lifetime Achievement Award. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:36)

The OGs (109,276) by Musti from UK I haven't been on in a few years so I don't know who's been around or not. But it's really reassuring to see some familiar names still posting. My last post was 4 years ago when the mood here was kinda toxic, due to one OG in particular but let's not go there. I hope he's well. But I'm really happy to see all the excitement and support for TD. This board is for the true fans. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:28) this is a reply to message 109,268

The OGs (109,268) by Bobby A from United States Let's have a reunion. Where have you been, The Wind? It is good to see all of the OGs posting this week. If you haven't posted in awhile, say hello. (Friday 13 June 2025; 16:00)

New video (109,275) by Haiji from United States So according to Chatgpt: There's no credible evidence of a delay - rather, it appears the team actively adjusted the timing to build anticipation and ensure the surprise element hit just right.

New video (109,269) by Haiji from United States Mimi just announced the video is dropping tomorrow. I wonder why it was pushed back? (Friday 13 June 2025; 16:37)

Damizza (109,274) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I haven't read what he said but my stance is I don't care haha. I'm too high on a new Mariah era to care about what MC did decades back. Snakes in the grass, it's time to cut the lawn. (Friday 13 June 2025; 17:28) this is a reply to message 109,271

Damizza (109,271) by MusicfanJ from Germany I "fear" there are some truths on what he's saying. I don't think everything is just made up. But who knows? (Friday 13 June 2025; 17:04)

New video (109,273) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol probably because Joseph Kahn didn't finish editing it. He was joking about it in his tweets and Mariah was joking about it in the post yesterday. What I don't understand is why they aren't giving a time on when it's being released. They didn't even provide one for today's release date and neither for tomorrow's. Like is it midnight, is it 10 am hahah. And I feel bad for the people who actually cancelled their booty calls like JK told everyone to do only for the video to not drop. (Friday 13 June 2025; 17:23) this is a reply to message 109,269

New video (109,272) by Shezz from Pk JK probably needed more time to edit it properly. He mentioned time was really tight. I guess Friday night booty calls are back on now. (Friday 13 June 2025; 17:16) this is a reply to message 109,269

Damizza (109,254) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am gonna ignore anything he says because he's irrelevant and needs Mariah's name to get clicks. Bye to him. Stay hating while MC stays collecting coins. (Friday 13 June 2025; 02:15)

The OGs (109,267) by TheWind from England In the real housewives world they refer to original housewives as OGs. It got me thinking, who are some of the OGs that people remember here? The message board has been going for a long time, but I remember some big characters on here, like Special K. I'd consider her an OG and big personality on here. (Friday 13 June 2025; 15:31)

Damizza (109,266) by MusicfanJ from Germany Exactly. Damizza even seems to be a bigger clown than Eminem. That he talks about Mariah in that way is tasteless. (Friday 13 June 2025; 14:02) this is a reply to message 109,254

Emotions (109,265) by Anonymous from United States I love the "Emotions" album. It's my second favorite behind "Butterfly". "Can't Let Go" absolutely deserved to go to #1, and it is one of my favorites from Mariah's early ballad output. "If It's Over" and "Til the End of Time" are also favorites. The "Emotions" album was really special because it marked the first time Mariah had full creative control. I think it strikes a nice balance between the uptempo songs with David Cole + Robert Clivilles and the soul-inflected ballads she recorded with Walter A. and Carole King.

Next single (109,262) by Jamie from UK I love that Kelly and Jason song. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:53) this is a reply to message 109,246

Next single (109,246) by Bobby A from United States It is a rumor on the web that the duet is called Superstar. I am sure the label knows that it will be a hit and they want to release it as the second single to launch the album with some fire behind it. People love duets during the summer too. For example, Jason Aldean's and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay was a huge hit during the summer of 2011. (Thursday 12 June 2025; 19:31)

Radio (109,261) by Haiji from United States Oh and I've already heard T-Dang play on the radio once tonight on Soft R&B station. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:21)

Thank you DJs (109,260) by Haiji from United States It was taken from the sample, Eric B. is President, but the remix version. That voice was added to the remix on the Paid in Full album as a shout-out to radio DJs who helped push the record, and wasn't on the original 12" single. I'm not sure who the original lady on that track is. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:19) this is a reply to message 109,249

Kinda new here (109,259) by Haiji from United States Hello everyone. I've been following this site probably since it first started, maybe late 90s, idk tbh lol I have to say, I haven't been this excited about MC's releases in a very long time. I'm loving the rollout and that she's actually putting in the work to promo. I also agree the next single should be an uptempo to keep the momentum. I feel like because it's Mariah, she's expected to since powerful on a ballad, so if her new voice is the new direction, it probably wouldn't work well to gain the GP's attention. I'm really hoping for a 20th and 21st #1 beating The Beatles before she retires. It is literally 2:11am and I'm stressing, waiting for this mv to drop. I can't wait. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:14)

Next single (109,258) by Shezz from Pk CDC? I wonder when the video is coming out. Not midnight (US) like the song, probably later in the day. Maybe that's why Joseph Kahn said to free up our Friday night - Saturday morning for some of us. (Friday 13 June 2025; 06:37) this is a reply to message 109,255

Next single (109,255) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya hope they learned from the past eras what worked and what didn't. I really hope some TikTokers turn T-Dang viral. I see Sabrina's song Manchild dances and Manchild sing alongs to the "stupid, slow, useless" lines all over. Also Sabrina is clearly had a deal with Spotify because every time I finish playing T-Dang, Sabrina's new song comes up on autoplay. I wish Mariah would cut a deal and do the same. Play the game. (Friday 13 June 2025; 02:22)

Thank you DJs (109,257) by Lighty from China It's just the same line from the sampled "Eric B. is President". (Friday 13 June 2025; 03:41) this is a reply to message 109,249
