About T from USA :

Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,363) by T from USA As has been cited many times by fans and music critics alike, Mariah's voice changed somewhere in between the [Daydream] and [Butterfly] albums. I have heard theories that the gruelling non stop singing live on the [Daydream] tour did it. But what if her voice change was due to secretly recording SUD at the same time? What if she over did it, or the rock style of singing did something to her chords? Something to ponder. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 01:01)

Re: I miss Stella (98,339) (98,341) by T from USA Stella probably sold it to Mariah as the next Kardashian's. Mariah would get super popular again and use it as a way to get new music heard. I'm sure if it was good and became a runaway hit, people would be praising Stella for it. Unfortunately all parties involved have zero talent for making "reality" shows. (Sunday 11 July 2021; 19:52)

Mariah was Britney (98,284) by T from USA I see no difference in the control between Britney and Mariah's 1990-1997 years. She had to perform when told to, record when told. The only difference to me is Mariah was more street savvy and was able to navigate her way out of it. By the time Mariah had her breakdown she was almost 32 years old without a domineering parent to try and swoop up control. Just be thankful that a Stella like character did not enter the scene in 2001/2002. (Friday 25 June 2021; 22:33)

Re: Caution deserved better (98,111) (98,114) by T from USA 1st single: A NoNo (ft. Cardi B & Lil’ Kim) 2nd single: Caution 3rd single: The Distance (ft. Ty Dolla) 4th single: With You (Wednesday 9 June 2021; 03:48)

Re: Roc Nation (98,081) (98,083) by T from USA The Rainbow era lead to the Glitter era. A Mariah that was unfocused and musically everywhere. All over the map without anyone steering the ship. I felt the same about the Stella era. I think this has more to do with Mariah being so scared from her early days at Sony she has made the decision that nobody will tell her what to do anymore. The brief period when she listened to LA Reid/Benny Medina we got TEOM. Mariah's talent is music. Not management so why does she insist on only keeping "yes men" in her company.

Re: Carlos Santana collab (98,068) (98,071) by T from USA So much potential was squandered in the making of E=MC2. The world was waiting after TEOM and she could've experimented with Santana and the likes to make some stellar music. Instead she played it way to safe and had JD do like five songs out of fourteen.

Re: The art of forgiveness (97,992) (97,993) by T from USA She talked with him on the phone in 2016 and promised they would get together on something in the future. That was during the Stella management so who knows if anything from that conversation will come true. She did need something from him and that was the reason for the phone call.

Re: JD / studio pic (97,972) (97,976) by T from USA Wasn't that a pic of when he surprised Mariah by putting Stevie Wonder on Make It Look Good? I think that was an old picture where he had Mariah on the phone while being with Stevie in person. I doubt Stevie spent his birthday with JD. (Saturday 15 May 2021; 02:35)

E=MC2 thank you's Happy Mother’s Day (97,952) by T from USA I just read the original CD booklet of E=MC2 and the very first thank you is to her mom. It was the last time she mentions her in an album, before that she didn't miss a mom mention. I wonder if after marrying Nick Cannon and having children the relationship broke for good. I know she had a song and video with her but that was before giving birth. I wonder if becoming a mom of her own changed her relationship with her own mom? (Saturday 8 May 2021; 14:25)

Re: Label vs. managment (97,906) (97,907) by T from USA Are you sure she's still with [Roc Nation]? They removed her from their website. (Friday 30 April 2021; 13:01)

WIB played on mainstream radio, success (97,894) by T from USA The fact that a new Mariah song in her current voice and age has been played on mainstream top 40 radio (albeit only 2 spins) is huge in my opinion. That is the biggest thing for the WIB era I will take away. As long as the door is opened a crack can always get wider with the right material. Urban spins are picking up fast, and Rhythmic radio is almost in the top 40 for spins. (Tuesday 27 April 2021; 16:57)

Re: Def Jam (97,884) (97,888) by T from USA I wish she took the momentum after TEOM and went back to Columbia in 2007. I think they would have invested huge in her next release. I understand why she stayed on Island/DJ as LA Reid was still head but with each release the promo dwindled. Honourable mentions to TMB, and #Beautiful which did get a very decent label push. (Sunday 25 April 2021; 16:45)

Re: Epic (97,883) (97,887) by T from USA Roc Nation removed her from their website artist roster. I don't think Mariah has a company behind her. (Sunday 25 April 2021; 16:41)

Re: Go independent (97,875) (97,878) by T from USA Janet's career is the last blueprint I would be following if I was Mariah. One album in the last twelve years or so. Came and went without even being noticed. Mariah belongs on a major because she's major. (Friday 23 April 2021; 14:07)

Re: MC30 (97,868) (97,869) by T from USA She should've done it all in 2020 before Christmas. There were plenty of missed weeks in October that could've fit in Charmbracelet and [EMC2]. Oh well. It was good while it lasted. Maybe we don't know [Memoirs] and [Caution] haha. (Wednesday 21 April 2021; 13:52)

Re: Voice therapists (97,863) (97,865) by T from USA All true. Dev Hayes of Blood Orange mage her instrument sound the best it has in a long while. And a standout on Caution. I would also like to hear how Dallas Austin would sound as she has never worked with him but he knew how to even make TLC's limited vocal range work in the context of the song. You Mariah to sound good on a track? Tweet and Instagram him and MC and encourage a collaboration. In terms of The Rarities, maybe 30k lambs is all she has left. Those are the ones that will never waver. But it also wasn't very promoted or seen. If she wants to make a hit record again she needs a new sound and a rested voice. (Tuesday 20 April 2021; 18:31)

Today is WIB download day (97,862) by T from USA I read on Twitter that today the lambs are all downloading and purchasing WIB. Tomorrow there is a streaming party for the song. It is our one big push. (Tuesday 20 April 2021; 15:02)

Re: Voice therapists (97,860) (97,861) by T from USA Probably if Mariah really wanted it she could get back to Charmbracelet tour vocals but it would take a complete overhaul. Diet, drinking, nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, vocal therapy, etc. But is it worth it? Especially since the lambs are still with her no matter what her voice sounds like. The question is would the mass public come back if the return of the voice did? (Tuesday 20 April 2021; 13:36)

Re: I just want (97,858) (97,859) by T from USA The right producer could change everything for Mariah. There are many things they could do to utilize her voice as the instrument that it is. (Monday 19 April 2021; 15:23)

Re: I just want (97,850) (97,852) by T from USA I'm the opposite. I love Mariah's powerful soulful voice but if it's not there anymore I don't want to hear a Frankenstein album. MIAMTEC came close to that being recorded over four long years. Caution was refreshing because I could get into the song without judging the voice. Unless all this rest has helped, or she went through the throat surgery I don't think she should patch together songs. Or else a new album might be ten years away. (Sunday 18 April 2021; 00:25)

Re: Where I Belong 3rd most added song on Rhythmic (97,820) (97,822) by T from USA I think the fast rapping at the end is this versions take on "I would climb a mountain high". (Wednesday 14 April 2021; 14:16)

Where I Belong 3rd most added song on Rhythmic (97,816) by T from USA WIB was the third most added song on rhythmic radio. And the video is nearing 10 million views. Lets go. (Wednesday 14 April 2021; 03:16)

Today Where I Belong goes for radio adds (97,804) by T from USA Today we should all call one station in our area to request. One of two things will happen with this song. Either it will start to get rhythmic play and Mariah will be back on a radio format not seen since 2015s #Beautiful. Six years ago. Or the song will come and go without as much as a whimper. There are a lot of factors at play of course. But if we don't all do our part this week then we shouldn't complain if Mariah is yet again shut out of radio. Building a relationship with a format is important for her next release. Unless she is planning to work with Walter, she will need rhythmic to have any kind of success. In all actuality many casual listeners believe Mariah's last current song was Obsessed in 2009. We can also do our part by sharing the video everywhere. And pressing like on other shared posts of it. But specifically radio will help the video get more views. Lets do this, we have the casual hip hop fans on our side. (Tuesday 13 April 2021; 13:24)

Where I Belong video (97,796) by T from USA WIB video is already at 5 million on YouTube and over 2 million on Facebook. Mariah looks great in it and their chemistry is still top notch. But we got to do something for radio support. Be it twitter or good old fashion call and request, but the video can't do it alone. If it gets a few initial radio spins it may just start taking off on its own. Do you know what a minor rhythmic hit could do for Mariahs next project? (Monday 12 April 2021; 00:00)

WIB radio request day April 13 (97,763) by T from USA I know it's a long shot because of ageism, a dwindling fan base, etc but maybe all the lambs should banned together and request WIB at rhythmic radio the day it goes for adds April 13th. A hip hop collab might actually get some traction. With a mild radio hit Mariah could actually leverage for better bargaining on her next project. WIB might actually open a little crack in the door if it slowly takes off a bit at radio. It will be a lot easier to call urban and rhythmic and request the new Busta joint then it will be requesting the next Mariah single (especially if it sounds anything like With You). I don't want Mariah to end up like some of her peers regarding radio. What do you say? One last old fashioned radio request day April 13 to give Where I Belong the best chance at a good start.
