The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,791) by Bobby A from United States "Processing in their voices" is what Max Martin is known for doing when he produces an artist's vocals. It is the Max Martin effect that he does give the song that electronic or trance feel? (Sunday 23 June 2024; 06:00) this is a reply to message 106,782

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,782) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I don't like the processing in B and M's vocals. I couldn't even tell that was Monica in the second verse. Maybe that affect works in Ariana's voice, but it made B & M sound like AI. It is a fabulous song though. This type of mid-tempo is what I would love to hear from Mariah.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,790) by Bobby A from United States MC's funniest lip sync moment is when the Touch My Body backing track failed on GMA and MC sang to Trey, MaryAnn, and Sharlotte - "Stop singing my rhymes now baby." MC was hot that the backing track failed on a live televised program. She played it off after the preformance by saying, "I have to bring something new to the moment every time."

Spring or fall album release preference (106,789) by Bobby A from United States Yes. MC has always collaborated with the hottest producers at the moment since TEOM like The Neptunes, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Mike Will Made It, Hit-Boy, and Scott Storch. I am saying if she wants to upgrade her signature sound, then MC is going to have to collaborate with other producers and songwriters who are not necessarily the hottest producer at the moment. I think the days of hottest producer at moment ended with Darryl DJ Camper's and Diplo's reign five years ago. I am going to go ahead and make a prediction for MC16. MC16 will be nominated for eight Grammy awards in 2025 or 2026. MC will finally receive recognition from the Grammys after 30 years in music business.

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,788) by Anonymous from USA For arguments sake, which of these "new girls" is a true contender for 20 number 1 hits? Since it's such a possibility there should be at least several answers. I'll wait. Don't you guys think that if it was that easy to obtain it, everyone would have multiple number 1 hits? At least use a possible real life situation if you're going to start an argument. I'm sorry but you're coming across as painfully young and naive. Furthermore, I am not here to defend my loyalty and love for the one and only Mariah Carey to you or anyone else. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. There's some posts I scroll right on by when I see the name. I don't stop to ask dumb questions. All dumb questions will be met with stupid answers. I guarantee it. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 04:44)

Y'all have overplayed that #1s argument so much that if one of these new girls ever gets 20, y'all will be sick about it. Look at that way [Old town road] destroyed some of yall. Let.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,781) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Can I ask a real question? What does all of this defense do for you?

Spring or fall album release preference (106,730) by Bobby A from United States Bruno Mars is on the table too. I think MC has finally realized that she is going to have to step out of her comfort zone and collaborate with new producers. I am all for an album with songs with from Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, Rai Khalil, and Solange. Her recording time period for this album is going to be her longest time yet from 2021-2025.

The remix is slightly different than the original although mostly same probably because of the chart rules. Instead of Ariana doing the verses Brandy and Monica takes turn in verse 1 and 2 with Ariana doing the chorus and backgrounds. The bridge is new and the outro is longer with new ad libs.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,775) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think what has happened the last couple of years, is that Mariah has had a very good lip synching coach. We all know Celine Dion is the master of lip synching, nobody accuses her of doing it, but we all know she has almost whole concerts with just lip synching. Mariah is relaxing on stage now, doesn't try to pretend to sing live, just doing the emotions in her face without lifting an eyebrow, and it works, it actually looks like she is singing, it works brilliantly. The playback is her real curent voice, but to not experience the fear of being caught out, she does that now, I sing it's soothing for her. And, by the way, Mariah is being seen the heroine in this Jen**fer Lo**z downfall, and that might have something to do with new found respect Mariah is recieving in the world right now. Mariah called out the girl she doesn't know in a very classy way 25 years ago. Karma is a bi**h, isn't it? (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:10)

Rainbow 25 (106,777) by Anonymous from USA I've never seen or heard anyone say MC's number ones are forgettable. I believe a lot of "pop stars" are forgettable and no single act has more number ones than Mariah. She's the epitome of success and actual talent. Jealousy is a killer. Pray for those poor souls. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:46)

Praying for the album (106,779) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I actually don't want her in album phase right now. I like her hopping in remixes (she needs to time them better). Madonna been doing the same thing. I'd like yo see Mariah collaborate on random songs and do some soundtracks. That way, she can create music without all of the pressure of having to promote and carry the outcomes of its success or failure-primarily the failure. It would also give her a chance to update her sound and experiment - she's got to get out of the rut she's been in since 2005. I'd love for her to collaborate with international artists. Jump in a remix with a popular Australian artist. Collab and sing the hook on a track of a popular Asian artist. She could do so much more without having to do a lot. There is so much emphasis placed on #1 hits, but we would all take a solid top 10 hit from her that actually stays in the charts for a while.

Praying for the album (106,760) by Bobby A from United States If a long time between albums happened in the 90s, I wonder what would be MC's response for the long wait. MC would probably say that she wants to record more songs to sequence the album perfectly or correct some vocal moments. Being the perfectionist that she is, it has to be really hard for her in 2024. She has to have at least 50 songs recorded by now. Right? (Friday 21 June 2024; 12:24)

Tiny Desk (106,778) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I say no because Mariah is so uptight and stiff that she wouldn't be any fun. It's like her carpool karaoke - it was stiff, dull, and she wasn't warm or engaging. And then we have the vocals. TD is about a vibe and being in a moment. She'd want to move cameras and lighting to play into her diva antics and insecurities. Her setlist would be dull and predictable. When it comes to banter, she'd either be distant and muted like she was on the Jennifer Hudson show, or she'd be manic and rambling. Lastly, she's so in her head about her vocals that I could see it taking 6 months for TD episode to come out because she'd want to edit, dub, etc. Plus, TD is an all live venue, what 5-7 songs would Mariah sing that would 100% live that she'd be okay releasing to the public?

Rainbow 25 (106,769) by "MariahHater" from Hell This is my most least spun album of hers. This re release made me drop my jaw on how'd she pulled an album in less than a year with 2 No. 1s. Totally not my repetitive album but this album slaps so hard. Had new found appreciation with Petals, Rainbow Interlude, Rainbow's End (despite lacking big house vocals). Living in the 90s might be something I will be pondering all over my life. I really wish to see a Mariah resurgence aside from Christmas. Excited for Glitter and Charmie 25. I believe she is the only artist that can celebrate her album anniversaries with pride and power because she did this organically. Some says her number ones are forgettable and I believe not because depending on which continent you are, Mariah has at least 5 unforgettable songs etched into their bloodstream regardless of age group. Yes there are the new pop gurlies out there but nobody ever did something like dem oldies. Calling and manifesting to the universe to grant thy wish of having to see her number 1 outside Christmas again. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 05:02)

Tiny Desk (106,756) by Shezz from Pk I think that is C's well informed opinion based on the last few years' live performances. She would have nothing here to fall back on, no backing tracks, no play backs and if the last couple of years have showed us anything it's that MC won't perform without them. Although I 100 percent believe she is capable of giving us a great Tiny Desk performance similar to what she did with Jimmy Fallon for AIWFCIY and the piano impromptu performance. I don't think she's not in good voice, she has lost the confidence in herself and her voice even though she has shown us flashes of it from time to time. Maybe she feels she can't do it at a stretch. It's still a mystery what happens to her during live performances. Maybe it's the perfectionist in her that doesn't want her audience to hear anything off. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 18:08)

Remastered Rainbow album (106,762) by Terna from Nigeria First off, I'm loving the attention this album is getting, as it's one of her hidden gems. I played the record on speakers for the first time yesterday, been listening on Airpods all this while. I noticed her voice is placed forward and center, and the sound quality is polished and overall more rounded, with a cleaner sound, than the original version. This makes the ballads pop, the vocals on TGIFY less muddy and reveals parts on the songs one did not catch before, listening to "Bliss" was an experience. Remastering records sometimes marrs an album, this one makes it better. Thumbs up Mariah. (Friday 21 June 2024; 14:53)
