About T from USA :

Epic vs Def Jam for Mariah? (97,751) by T from USA
Label question, currently which is the better label Epic or Island/Def Jam? Should have Mariah stayed with Universal or was the move back to Sony the smart one? (Probably for building her legacy artist status the Sony More was the right one?)

Re: Mariah's "real birthdate" (97,721) (97,725) by T from USA
It seems like your obsession with Mariah is a little scary. Why do you feel the need to expose her or out her as much as you do? What do you get out of it? And how does it change Mariah's life in any way even if you somehow unearth the truth? I'm asking for a friend.

Get Your Number "behind the scenes" (97,705) by T from USA
JD talks a little behind the scenes about Get Your Number. I did not realize it is Mariah's idea to have him talk over the tracks at the beginning.

Re: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (97,686) (97,689) by T from USA
I agree with JD. I think that ship has sailed, unless it's one track that is undeniably good, the rest should be left off the album. Does anyone know why Mariah has never been in the studio with Dallas Austin? He seems like the cooler producer version of JD. His ties with LA Reid and the fact that he's done incredible work with TCL, Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Janet make me think he would be right up her alley. He's also from her 90's generation. The only thing I can think of is that maybe when he was at the height of producing Mariah's husband didn't want her in the studio with him (although she did have JD in 1995). On a side note, Mariah's second husband starred in a movie based on Dallas Austin's life, Drumline.

Re: Someone make a list (97,645) (97,649) by T from USA
She's back in the studio with JD and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I would love her to work with Dallas Austin. He is "new" to her sound (so it checks off that list) but he's also from the JD generation so it fits her style as well and isn't too out there.

Re: Talking of the 90's (97,573) (97,576) by T from USA
I like the nostalgia of MCA. I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: Tommy Mottola, a monster? (97,554) (97,557) by T from USA
The real question is if Tommy [was] black would she have felt the need to break away so badly? Would she still be giving him his props the way she does to the predatory LA Reid?

Re: Languishing (97,519) (97,521) by T from USA
I would think Languishing was about Pat if she did not have her on the Christmas album and performed with her many times after singing Languishing. She was even with her on Idol in 2013, and Beacon 2014. However maybe Mariah was trying her best even though all those feelings were present and true. For me it seems like Mariah always needs a story. The enemy was Tommy for almost two decades and now that it's not as interesting the story seems to be that her family is the enemy. Could very well be true, if it is then it's really sad. The two common themes in all the stories are race and control. I do believe Mariah felt less than, and then under a incredible amount of control, but now she can't possibly still feel less than or controlled can she? Time to make peace with it all.

Re: Languishing Interlude (97,451) (97,459) by T from USA
The can't breathe imagery sure fits the Tommy theme but unless it was a song she started in the 1990's, I can't see where she was at in her life by 2009 to be going back singing a song about Tommy. I know she did in 2008, but that was more of an empowering song and a lot happened a year later as in marriage to a new husband. Why would she be wondering or needing Tommy's support in 2009?

You’re Mine late Night Valentine Mix (97,385) by T from USA
You're Mine Eternal would sound amazing with a mini late night Valentine mix. Wasn't there an extended version originally? That song would sound so groovy and fresh in this this atmosphere.

Re: Raindream? (97,359) (97,363) by T from USA
This should be Mariah's image for the next album/era. Her hair was perfect, the best color in years. Her outfit was serious yet contemporary. The whole package screamed artist. In a way that she hasn't done in a long long time. He voice was great. The mood was there, the attitude was there, it seemed like the Mimi if she would've continued with The Emancipation Of Mimi era all this time or even the Mariah from just after MTV's unplugged but all these years later. I'm hearing the general public even commenting like they never have before. This is a grown mature artist. This is Mariah Carey.

Re: Migrate or I'm That Chick (97,299) (97,300) by T from USA
The miscarriage was near the end of 2008. She promoted the album pretty heavily from February 2008 (SNL) to November 2008 (AMA's). Then that was it. No tour. By January of 2009 she had started working on MOAIA.
(Friday 5 February 2021; 16:30)
Re: Migrate or I'm That Chick (97,294) (97,296) by T from USA
I'm That Chick was also performed everywhere (MTV Hills, GMA, Fashion Rocks, Canadian Idol). Migrate was performed on Saturday Night Live and BET's relativity special. Bye Bye only on American Idol and Oprah. Now that I think of it E=MC2 had mega promo. Not to mention the awards shows she performed on.

Re: Migrate or I'm That Chick (97,292) (97,293) by T from USA
Even this order would've been so fresh for her.
1. Touch My Body
2. I'm That Chick
3. Cruise Control
4. I'll Be Loving You Long Time/Migrate

Migrate or I'm That Chick (97,290) by T from USA
For the follow up to Touch My Body in the summer of 2008? I think I'm That Chick as more poppy dance music was starting to emerge on the horizon and Mariah could've been one step ahead of the curve.

Re: Melissa (97,259) (97,260) by T from USA
Melissa has been the best manager she's had since TEOM (when she originally worked with Melissa). Now with her being a partner in a firm she probably even would have more pull. Strange Mariah didn't stick with her.

MC + MM (97,255) by T from USA
The work he did with the Weeknd last year was insanely good. He and Mariah would make beautiful music together I believe. Max Marin I should've put in the message.

Re: Emancipation EP's for #MC30 (97,248) (97,251) by T from USA
If this is going to be what it is for the rest of the eras I would've preferred she had done this all in 2020 before Christmas and 2021 could be looking towards the future.

Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,245) (97,250) by T from USA
Usually you stay with your manager no matter where they go. That is if you're happy with their work.

Narada Michael Walden (97,247) by T from USA
In a world where record labels invest only as much funds to your next project as based on your last one (“what have you done for me lately”) it doesn’t look good that Mariah will get the budget or the keys to work with the top producers in the industry. We know JD will always be by her side but with her influence and connections I’m sure she could still gather a good group for her next album. Narada Michael Walden just commented on her Shawn Mendez post saying that they should create a new by together and to reach out. So even if Sony doesn’t set up those expensive producer/writer camps or shells out for Cardi B and Drake, she can still create a mega hit album if she chooses to. PS. Walter would also be game.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,236) (97,239) by T from USA
Not only Mariah. Corporate America cares too. It's a business.

Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,233) by T from USA
I hope she doesn't try to manager herself again. It takes an army to create success. Keep her way from JD too.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,221) (97,223) by T from USA
This was the best breakdown I've read here in a long while. Everything is business and nobody knows this better than Mariah. It's why she returned to Sony, because LA Reid was in charge (a known spender). Look into Kenn and Nancy Berry. They ran EMI Virgin records when Mariah was signed. They signed her to that mega contract. They were also known to spend huge on marketing their acts (see Rolling Stones, Janet and Spice Girls who they signed). Mariah knew this that's why she went with them over other suitors. They both lost there big time jobs a month after Glitter was released. Mariah's whole career she needed two things. The right guidance and the right promotional budget. With those two things she is unstoppable and quite supernatural in her accomplishments. I don't know much about Epics head Sylvia Rhone but if Caution was any indication, Mariah is in big trouble.
