Alzheimer's (112,378) by Bobby A from United States I miss one day not posting and someone said that he or she was taking a break. Lol. I am back today. (Thursday 13 November 2025; 01:15) this is a reply to message 112,375

Alzheimer's (112,375) by Edward from USA He was taking a break from his previous name. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 23:57)

Alzheimer's (112,377) by Lambi from USA The shame from the self-inflicted obliteration while using Libra Lamb is too much to bear, he now needs everyone to forget that's him. (Thursday 13 November 2025; 00:29) this is a reply to message 112,375

Another #1 (112,376) by Lambi from USA I mean they also slashed out learning music in public school around late 70's and 80's. Generally speaking, the next generations aren't as musically inclined. However though, I think if you're born with it, you're going to naturally gravitate towards it. Aretha and Whitney got to advance early because of the discipline it required to take center stage on church, you genuinely had to be excellent and anointed. Mariah was really blessed to have a mother she constantly heard practice day in and day out and so her ears were subconsciously trained really early. Pat also exposed her around jazz musicians that catapulted her improvisation skills to the extremes. We still have some singers that are obviously gifted. Ariana was really the last good pop vocalist for me. There's also Liamani that's still very young, but I'm assuming she's gearing up for a music career pretty soon. MC had already handpicked her to do a Mariah tribute before, which I'd say was a great choice. Lil homegirl definitely delivered.

Another #1 (112,371) by jaker20 from US There's a lot of artist that can sing, it's just this era does not appreciate it anymore and have a negative perception of them. Especially the power vocals style of singing. Singing competitions and social media made that genre ubiquitous, you see influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers and have stunning voices but are not even in the industry and don't even want to make money off their talent. It's devalued the style. So Mariah and other industry talents are grouped with that perception. She has an image issue. I think the last real vocalist who was big in pop is Adele and even she does not sound like she used to, nor seems to have interest in making more records. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 16:27)

Alzheimer's (112,358) by Anonymous from USA I know you said you're not a writer but I beg to differ. Your imagination goes wild with speculation. I think you've got true potential. Very promising. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 01:56)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,373) by jaker20 from US This is a real piece of history. It really shows how Mariah's break out is like no other. He said: "She writes like Madonna and sings like Whitney, I've discovered gold" is how he described her and he was mind-blown. This is why there will never be another Mariah. There will be a lot of great voices, and lot of great lyrics, but there will never be another one who mixed the two in a way she has. I love how the comments are saying "give it back to her".

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,372) by BFF from United States I 100 percent think that this is what will happen. Mariah will definitely see the news about the auction and will surely be able to outbid anyone in the process. She has spoken at length about how she believes her demos were superior to what ended up on the debut album. This would be an incredible opportunity to once and for all silence the people who claim that she would have not been successful without Tommy. After watching Arthur Baker's video, I am interested to know about the other seven songs that he didn't listen to. I wonder how many songs from the demo ended up on the album. Surely there is something on there we haven't heard. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 17:10)

Another #1 (112,342) by Lambi from USA Honestly it's kind of sad the new girls can't really sing. We still have Beyoncé and Ariana somewhat holding it down but these Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo types truly don't hold a candle to the 1990-2005 pop girlies. I miss when Mariah, Whitney, Celine all just took turns at being number one. The Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson era was also such a time. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 10:59)

Nothing is Impossible (112,370) by jaker20 from US While I love that song, In Your Feelings is what they should support and do a video. It seems to be taking off on the radio, and that's without promo. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 16:15) this is a reply to message 112,356

Nothing is Impossible (112,356) by Dove from United States I'm listening to NII right now since a lot of people say it should have been a single. I do really like it but the start doesn't immediately capture my attention. That's why I don't think it would have been the best option for radio or playlists. If it popped up on a playlist for me, and I wasn't already a Mariah fan, I would skip to the next song. I like it for a movie because you're kind of forced to listen to the whole thing that way, or at least a longer part of it. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 01:50)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,369) by jaker20 from US Oh I didn't see its on the actual article, I thought it usually shows up on the page. Shezz's posted a video and it's incorrect and that's what I saw first lol. [Webmaster: The video Shezz posted is not incorrect. He was talking about the same demo tape auction, not Mariah's demo tape.] (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 16:13) this is a reply to message 112,367

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,367) by jaker20 from US You all have to watch the video straight from the guy. Webmaster you can edit the article, it's right her. [Webmaster: Why should I edit the article? I already posted a link to the video.] It's even better. Very fascinating. It is literally like the guy saw the future that Mariah will explode. And that's exactly how it turned out, the public has not seen anything like her before. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 14:33)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,368) by jaker20 from US Shezz, that is not the same demo tape. That's What's Love Got To Do With It. This is the right video. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 16:09)

HFIA review (112,366) by Zachariah from Croatia Such a great song, my favorite from the album. I would love a video for it. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 11:22) this is a reply to message 112,357

HFIA review (112,357) by Lambi from USA Nothing Is Impossible is melodically amazing, definitely something that will stand out in the Adult Contemporary arena today. People still love ballads. The only thing that I felt missed the mark is her vocal cords sounding a bit dry during the belting of the climax. I do know meds heavily dry out the voice so I should just be grateful she took the time to write such a beautiful song. The reverse of it though, is her lower register sounding hauntingly gorgeous and hitting the spot completely, perfect key choice, it truly is where the song is at emotionally. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 01:55)

Alzheimer's (112,365) by Lambi from USA Thanks Edward, but correction: Libra lamb is the one who said he wants to take a break, not me. He changed his name to "Lambi needs a dictionary" to fully troll, but it just further proves my point that he is fundamentally broken. I hope that this short break heals him. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 11:18) this is a reply to message 112,355

Alzheimer's (112,355) by Edward from USA I didn't realize your break would be so ephemeral. Welcome back. And you have to admit, "Lambi needs a dictionary" is funny as hell. But your lines about his growth being stunted in middle school and him being left obliterated by some gang on here had me crying. I'm still laughing. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 01:48)

Alzheimer's (112,364) by Lambi from USA You got your lambs mixed up. Dove is the one that said, "I'm not a writer." She said that right after you threw a bunch of synonyms at her, for the word bleak. Next time, make sure you're aiming at the right target before you pull the trigger. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 11:08) this is a reply to message 112,358

It's coming (112,362) by Zachariah from Croatia Wow, already at #31? That is great news. Record will be broken this year for sure. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 06:32) this is a reply to message 112,346

It's coming (112,346) by Edward from USA It's official, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has re-entered the Billbaord Hot 100 at #31. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 20:18)

Release the demo this Friday (112,361) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia By doing that, Mariah can beat them from making profits out of her work. People and fans will not bother about that auction and will go straight online to listen to the demo. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 05:54)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,360) by Shezz from Pk I found this video as well about the same demo tape auction. I wonder if Mariah has the other copy and if she'll try to buy this and release it on her own terms. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 05:38)

In The Mix (112,359) by Stacey from USA Well said, Edward. I echo your sentiments. I've have stayed away from the current topics over the past week. I need some joy in my life. That's why I choose to focus on the music, the amazing Christmas albums MC has blessed us with. The first one is obviously my favorite. I thank TM every holiday season for encouraging MC to release a Christmas album, when it wasn't such a popular thing to do, especially for someone so new in her career. My ringtone is set to AIWFCIY, the tree is up, lights are on outside, and Tis the Season is burning in my house. "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." you know the rest.

In The Mix (112,340) by Edward from USA I'm in a good mood and don't want to open the door to the kind of diatribe that would follow. We really don't need that on the board right now, things are already tough as it is. I'll say this though: some people here tend to take things way too personally, and honestly, it's not that serious. This board has always been a little dysfunctional, and I think that's part of what keeps us coming back. If it weren't that way, it would be pretty damn boring. Sometimes we just need to drop the victim mentality and grow a thicker skin. For example, in the past two weeks, three of my messages haven't been posted, but you don't see me complaining to Eric or accusing him of favoritism. I later understood why he probably chose not to post them. I may disagree with some of you from time to time, but I never take it personal. In fact, I think that mix of personalities is what keeps us all glued to this little corner of the internet. Still, it's true, sometimes you can sense bitterness or unhappiness in certain people's posts, almost like they're just looking for a reason to start a fight. Whatever those people are going through, I genuinely wish them well. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 03:58)

Alzheimer's (112,354) by Lambi from USA Just to be clear. Joachim responded to JLR, not you. JLR basically said "You're all non-professionals." And Joachim was like, "Hold my beer, here's my credentials." I don't know why you took JLR being disputed so personally? You weren't even the one Joachim responded to. The word "obliterate" literally had nothing to do with you. "Lambi needs a dictionary" as your name is also hilarious. It fully confirms something may have happened that stunted your growth in middle school. However "ganged up" on you felt here, (or in real life) or what ever other lambs said that left you feeling "obliterated", you can let go now. Literally no one is thinking about it. Just enjoy the topics. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 01:21)

HFIA review (112,344) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think NII is very radio friendly and it has the most "single potential" with Sugar Sweet. Plus NII suits perfect for this season, the end of the year, thoughtful moments. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 13:53)
