New single (106,106) by Libra Lamb from USA

I hope we get a fresh new single that radio will be dying to get their hands on, like the old days. One can dream, right? It's been too long since the last one. I thought GTFO and With You were gonna be big hits and sadly was disappointed. I guess we'll see.

Musicals (106,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany

I agree with you. Glitter is not a musical at all.

Just a music movie with drama and autobiographical elements. Hmm the worst, it's really not that bad. I still have it on DVD. It was my first DVD together with "A river runs through it" back then in 2001. Memories.

Musicals (106,103) by Libra Lamb from USA

People are so desperate to have their name attached to Mariah Carey that they reach anywhere they can, they know her name will bring much needed publicity to their otherwise mundane articles. Glitter is most definitely not a musical. Not to mention the soundtrack is nothing short of amazing, and they know that. Desperation calls for desperate nonsensical articles and rankings. If we're going to talk about the worst musical, Mean Girls recently released as a musical is by far the worst I've seen in a long time. My husband and I could not sit through the entire thing. They almost ruined the original for me, almost. Glitter may not be good, by most people's standards, but I still love it and give it a pass because it's Mariah Carey at her campiest. If anything, blame the director Vondie Curtis Hall.

Mariah and Janet (106,102) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Wow have you guys seen this? The video concept is so similar, Japanese futuristic styles, robots, driving in a futuristic city etc. The songs have similar vibes too.

Musicals (106,101) by Victoria from USA

So collider.com named Glitter the worst musical ever. Cats was number 2. Does anyone consider Glitter a musical? I'm not saying it's amazing, but it's not a "musical".

I can't find the Don't (Bryson Tiller) and I Don't mash-up on YouTube anymore. Did anyone make a mp3 file?

New single (106,098) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Haha I'm dead. I agree. Like if Mariah would have flat out said that she's not working on any new material right now I would have accepted, but she went on multiple interviews promising various projects coming out "soon" over the last 2-3 years so that makes it annoying. Like from her own words we heard about TBL, concept album, gospel album, some jazz stuff, new album almost ready and so much more, yet we get random announcements like a residency.

New single (106,097) by Shezz from Pk

I saw the insider's post about it but I didn't quite see what Mariah had liked. Now it makes sense. If Mariah doesn't want us to follow these people for the crumbs we get from them she better come out and release something soon. I'm starting to feel like old Rose from Titanic. Soon it'll be 84 years and the insider's grand daughter who will have taken over the account will be promising this summer it is coming for real.

New single (106,096) by Robert-Anthony from United States

When MC does release something new, it's going to be a day of celebration. However, something tells me that her days of huge radio impressions on pop radio will never happen again with anything new. Maybe I am wrong. And this dry season has to been her longest time ever without releasing new music. When you start listening to MIAM reminiscing about the good old days, then it's been a long time since we have had a new Mariah Carey song that was hot on the charts. Lol.

Shezz did you see Mariah recently threw "shade" the insider account? Someone subtweeted the insiders post talking about how Mariah's music is coming soon and she has a video ready with big stars and hasn't rested at all. The subtweet had the caption "source: voices in my head" and Mariah "liked" that tweet. So I wonder if that means she's dismissing the account's claims.

Wow that sounds interesting and promising.

I'm very excited for it. I have a feeling Mariah will surprise us again this time. By the way, she really looks fantastic in the new pics.

New single (106,093) by Nick G from Germany

It sounds like fan wishes and reality are mixing. Before MC releases a dance album she stops singing. Ops, she already did. There will be no new music before the Vegas session. The guests come to hear the old hits and not new flops.

New single (106,092) by Shezz from Pk

The fan account did say the next day it was an April Fools thing. The insider account says she is set to make her long awaited come back this month. I hope that means a single, not her Vegas residency because she has been performing. Also, the insider says MC16 is a return to pop for MC with a lot of uptempo, disco and euro dance numbers. I hope that's true. She's not gotten anywhere with her midtempo RnB for a while now. Butterfly Lounge on the other hand is a total jazz project. How exciting is that? I have a feeling she will drop something soon either right before or right after Vegas.

New single (106,090) by Robert-Anthony from United States

The Rarities 2 would make sense to release this year. PTC was written in 2009 which makes me think it was written for Memoirs. She would need to include songs written around from 2009 through 2020 with three or four new songs after the pandemic. PTC is a dance track and would be the perfect kick off for TCOM shows.

Panic in the City is an old hat. Or she's going to release some unreleased stuff. I'm hearing The Rarities Part 2 if it's true.

Mimi has definitely been up to something with the posting of those beautiful pictures. I am down for PTC which JD and MC talked about on Twitter in 2011. A JD track is probably what she needs to end her long absence from radio.

New single (106,087) by Terna from Nigeria

So I saw this post on Twitter saying her new single is gonna drop on Friday entitled "Panic The City".

Any of you guys see something similar to this? It was by one of her "Lambies" accounts that may have insider information.

Academy recognising Glitter (106,085) by Libra Lamb from USA

I think you hit the nail on the head Joachim. I never really pieced it together but it makes sense the way you explained it. I happen to love Charmbracelet because the songwriting was phenomenal and the melodies were great even though it was not a typical Mariah Carey album. Also wrong single choices. But not everyone has heard of it or given the album a fair chance. I Only Wanted, Subtle Invitation, Miss you ( feat. Jadakiss) and The One (both original and So So Def Remix) are my favorites. Shout out to Got a Thing 4 U.

Academy recognising Glitter (106,084) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

I actually think the reason why Mariah sounds so restricted on Charmbracelet had everything to do with Glitter and her breakdown. I think she felt the world really was tired of everything Mariah, especially her voice, many people back then complained that she was just shouting, not that this had anything to do with reality. Mariah was overexposed after the 90's, much like the risk Taylor Swift is taking now.

Charmbracelet shows a Mariah that is scared to annoy or pushing more people away, almost to the point of self extinction. She did exactly what people wanted her to, become a shadow of her self, almost a different artist singing wise. Well, we all know how that turned out, it's her most forgotten and least interesting album, only positive is that it felt really personal. I'm glad she came back in 2005 wanting nothing else than to be herself, showcasing every part of her voice. If you can sing like Mariah Carey, why would you ever try to disguise that?

Taking risks (106,083) by Robert-Anthony from United States

Yes, I like this new found confidence shown during the past 3 weeks. I hope she records the TCOM shows for a DVD later this year.

Taking risks (106,082) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I love that Mariah is feeling herself. She is taking small risks personally that she said she would never do. Like being photographed from her "bad side", jumping on Ariana's remix and now sporting a red lip. I remember her saying multiple times she doesn't wear red lipstick because it doesn't suit her yet here we have her this year posting 2 photos wearing it. Glad to see she's taking over her insecurities one small thing at a time.
