My wish for MC in 2026 (113,497) by TheButterflyReturns from United States
I had one more "Glitter" wish for this year:

4. A Vegas residency built around the soundtrack and the film called "#JusticeForGlitter". And maybe she can even poke fun at the TRL appearance with some skits interspersed.

5. Long form podcasts with Mariah, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Kate Lanier about the evolution of the film.

I honestly want 2026 to be heavily focused on "Glitter" because I'm interested to know more about how it evolved from the grittier "All That Glitters" treatment to the watered down final product released in 2001. We all know about the sabotage of the "Loverboy" single, but there's obviously more that we don't know. "Lillie's Blues" was in the movie, but it would be cool to hear a studio recording of it. The Mariah Carey Wiki mentions song titles "Glitter" and "Royal Tones" and states that Mariah worked on six songs with Stevie J for the movie. I remember a bunch of other rumored song titles that floated around the internet in the early 2000s. I'm also interested to know if there's a demo version of the song in which she planned to sample "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6.

Lame photos? (113,496) by TheButterflyReturns from United States
My guess is that some of the less intriguing single covers came about due to budgetary constraints, especially for "Here for It All" singles. To me, it seems like they spent almost the entire budget on the "Type Dangerous" video. Which "Crybaby" single cover are you referring to? I remember seeing several - and, of course, that song was included on the double A-side single release of CTTA in the US.

Lame photos? (113,495) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I love the "It's like that" cover. We all know that Mariah is beautiful so a cover that has a little more art on it is welcome. I listen a lot to the great Santana album "Supernatural" lately. 99 was a wonderful time for me. The art cover is so beautiful, Mariah should try something like that. Maybe for the next "nostalgia" album. I also like the pic that is always seen for the SUD cover with the lipstick.

Lame photos? (113,494) by Jamie from UK
I love Zayn's music. He struggles really badly with anxiety so think he chooses a quieter life, good on him I'd say.

MC's influence (113,493) by Bobby A from United States
It was said on X yesterday the Ariana Grande's first single from AG8 has a Breakdown influence. What if AG8 is heavily Mariah Carey influenced and it causes Breakdown and the Butterfly album to go viral among young people. It is true that Ariana has been studying MC for 3 years now.

Lame photos? (113,492) by Lighty from China
The NII cover art isn't lame to me, it's just mediocre but at least a gorgeous new picture. Remember when the Fantasy single cover cropped into the Daydream album cover, or when the I Still Believe single shared the same cover with the Around the World DVD? Those were great photoshoots but just lazy work.

Butterfly live In Hawaii 1998 (113,491) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
Now that we have seen almost half of the video performances on YouTube, the latest one is Make It Happen, maybe Sony or whoever owns it, can release it officially online and add some bonus tracks or bonus videos (Mariah always say that Close My Eyes is her favorite so why not shoot a video for it, just make a beauty shot video like what she really likes with no plot or storyline, it's ok as long as there is a video). Video performances of Butterfly live at Perth also available on YouTube (Emotions, My All, Whenever You Call) and she look so beautiful with that middle parted, long straight hair.

Lame photos? (113,489) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
Because she's into beauty shot photos, beauty shot videos, and not art photos nor art videos. Even all her photos on her social media are her face photos "look at me, I'm beautiful" beauty shot beauty shot. Remember that It's Like That cover single, yes that's different and it fits the theme of the song which is party record and no face of her is needed, just graphic design.

Article: Eamonn Holmes stormed out of a Mariah Carey interview (113,488) by Dennis from Miami, FL
Over the years, his story has changed a lot. He first met her in 1995 and has been bitter ever since. He is quite a polarizing figure himself. I respect his opinion, but he has simply hated Mariah from the beginning. He says that she is only relevant because of Christmas and that he doesn't know anyone who has bought any of her records, or perhaps they are just afraid to admit it.

Lame photos? (113,486) by Bobby A from United States
Is this a correct observation? MC chooses better single covers when she has a man in her life. Her single covers for WBT, With You, You're Mine, and A No No tell us about a woman happy and in love. MC hasn't been happy and in love for quite some time. I hope she finds a younger male singer who can make her happy. Zayn Malik comes to my mind. I am saying him because I feel he leads a quiet life on his Pennsylvania farm and is not a singer looking to increase his fame status. Zayn just wants to release great music for his fans just like MC.

Lame photos? (113,485) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
I've got to ask: why does MC choose lame photos for some of her singles cover art like she did for Nothing is Impossible? She's got better, more electric photos on her social media. She's done it with Shake it Off, It's Like That was unreal and unexpected, With You was so unique and gave Someday vibes. But then we have Its a Wrap, CryBaby, and I Don't as examples of lame. Literally just smash one of her recent insta photos on the single art work and run with it, she's gorgeous and everyone knows how funny she can be. Use that sparkle and glitter girl, not lame emotionless head shots that tell me nothing about the song.

I'm amazed how many people on this board wish our Mimi a "happy birthday", when she clearly doesn't have birthdays (but anniversaries).

That's pretty cool. I have to listen to the fantastic Loverboy again with that in mind. I guess it was real fun for them at that time in the studio.
