Rainbow 25 (106,780) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States
Even she has "forgotten" some of the #1 hits. We're in a safe space here - we don't need to use those "defend my queen" arguments that we use in other places. 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.

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.

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 (106,777) 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.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,776) by Anonymous from USA
Mariah is a master at throwing shade. Nobody deserved it more than J Lo. I’ve never been happier to see someone fall as hard as she’s falling right now. Well played MC. Karma is a real beeotch.

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?

MC's Las Vegas shows start again July 26th [through] August 1st. She probably won't do a lot of recording next month.

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,773) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ya it would have been a fun duet. 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.

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,772) by Shezz from Pk
Yes she would have sounded so good on this remix indeed. I think Ariana's team learned from their previous mistake and released it soon. Is it the exact same though or are there different lyrics/verses?

The Boy Is Mine 2.0 (106,770) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
The remix was such a a good one. I didn't expect Mariah to be on a second remix on the same album ofcourse but I wish instead of YAR, she was on this one. She also released the remix for this so soon after the OG, whereas YAR had a gap.

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.

Well, Ariana chose Brandy and Monica for The Boy Is Mine remix. It makes sense.

Thank God I Found You (original) (106,767) by Bobby A from United States
I have been listening to TGIFY a lot lately too. Also, I finally listened to Xscape's One of Those Love Songs this week. I still don't understand why Warryn Campbell filed a copyright infringement lawsuit. I don't see the similarity at all.

Thank God I Found You (original) (106,766) by Randy from USA
I know this is the most vilified number one but it's growing on me again. I like the lyric a lot and it's kinda undeniably a reach for a chart topper. I like the Rainbow album, always have.

Remastered Rainbow album (106,764) by Bobby A from United States
Terna, this is great news. I am really concerned that we won't experience the same sound quality when the remastered audio is transferred to picture disc. I am just not a fan of colored vinyl. Black vinyl produces the best sound. I hope a CD version will be available this fall even though it has not been announced yet. I know Sony wants to capitalize on those picture disc preorders before making a CD announcement. Does anyone know of an online music retailer who will allow you to create a CD online?

Tiny Desk (106,763) by Brandon from USA
Shezz, I totally agree with you. The confidence is just not there for her to do the Tiny Desk with no help. She has come to rely on backing tracks to hit those big notes because she doesn't trust her voice to do it anymore. Also, she knows she used studio tricks when recording many of these songs so it would be difficult for her to sing many of them all live anyway. If she got creative, reworked her songs, and adapted them to her current voice, she could do it. Unfortunately, she doesn't trust her voice to do what it needs to anymore which is why she always looks tense and stiff on stage these days.

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.

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?

Album coming soon? (106,757) by Randy from USA
I was scrolling [through] Facebook. A page called Popwave had a post that stated Mariah Carey's album is coming soon. However, there's no article or anything. It is a picture I've never seen before. Anyone wanna tell me is that clickbait?

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.
