About Zachariah from Croatia: Mariah Carey fan and professional member of automotive community - both got me feeling emotions.

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,093) by Zachariah from Croatia I actually don't mind now that MC16 is not happening. I hate summer and heat so this is more exciting for me - enjoying winter days with Mariah playing all day long. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 10:21)

Back to Mariah (107,060) by Zachariah from Croatia I think it is gonna be a longer pause between MC16 and the next album (which I am sure it's gonna happen) but we will not mind the pause because MC16 is gonna be a fire. I feel it in my bones. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 17:50) this is a reply to message 107,057

Back to Mariah (107,057) by Edward from USA Do you guys think MC16 will Mariah's final album, and how would you feel if it were? (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 14:16)

Webmaster, please... (107,055) by Zachariah from Croatia Webmaster, are these posts about politics really necessary here, on Mariah Carey Archives? I mean, I really don't want to read about that here. It is enough that we (in Europe) are bombarded with that in the news every damn day. And we really do not care. We have enough of our own mess to deal with. So please, can you put this under control? Thank you. [Webmaster: If this message gets more than 10 thumbs up, I will stop posting messages on the American elections. See also my first rule.] (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 10:49)

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,017) by Zachariah from Croatia I really don't like your negative attitude all the time regarding her voice. I listened the same thing and it is live. I don't know why you keep saying that she can't sing anymore. So annoying. (Monday 29 July 2024; 08:40) this is a reply to message 107,012

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,012) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was thinking again today while I was standing in the grocery checkout line. I just wonder is it common knowledge among MC's colleagues, label executives, and radio programmers that Mariah Carey can't sing anymore. I thought about that because MC doesn't receive any offers for duets, movie songs, or TV performances anymore. Her last collaborations have been rap hooks and a JD favor for another artist. I am really worried about what MC's career will look like in 2030. That would be 40 years in the music business at 61 years old. Maybe an announcement of MC16 will be her last album and it will be a double album. That would be a great prelude something new in the TV entertainment and cosmetics industry.

What do you do for a living? (106,948) by Zachariah from Croatia I'm a head of the technical-logistic office for four car brands in Europe. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 13:25) this is a reply to message 106,947

What do you do for a living? (106,947) by Jamie from UK I'm a Cabin Manager for a long haul airline. I'm often in NYC and do a run down the Hudson and up past Mariah's apartment. One day I will see her coming out. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 12:18)

Worst Mariah Carey covers by other artists (106,931) by Zachariah from Croatia Which Mariah covers by other artist, who had the audacity to cover a Mariah song, do you listen over and over just get shocked how bad they are? Mine is Rihanna's Hero. (Tuesday 23 July 2024; 09:40)

Album coming soon? (106,927) by Zachariah from Croatia Nobody understands that. I just don't get what is so special about her. And I did try to listen [to] her songs, get her story: zero points. (Monday 22 July 2024; 15:46) this is a reply to message 106,926

Album coming soon? (106,926) by Jamie from UK Nobody stands a chance with the media propaganda that is Taylor Swift. Do not get how she is so big, sorry to any Swifties. She's good but she's no where as good as she's made out to be. (Monday 22 July 2024; 10:00)

Rumoured lead singles (106,919) by Zachariah from Croatia Croatia was one of them. (Sunday 21 July 2024; 03:10) this is a reply to message 106,918

Rumoured lead singles (106,918) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Sweetheart" was commercially released in the Netherlands and several other European countries. (Sunday 21 July 2024; 03:05)

Madonna confession (106,906) by Zachariah from Croatia No she wasn't. I never payed any attention to her and never will. (Friday 19 July 2024; 08:23) this is a reply to message 106,903

Madonna confession (106,903) by Shezz from Pk Same here Robert Anthony. I think Madonna was a lot of 80's lambs' first love. I too, was obsessed with Papa Don't Preach. My first favourite song ever. And then True Blue, La Isla Bonita and Like A Prayer all her 80s hits. Then came the 90s. Enter Mariah, and by 1993 I had a new queen. I still loved some of Madonna's 90's music but she could never be my favourite again. On another note, I miss the make up room acappella Vegas series Mariah started doing in 2019/2020 (I think) of deep cuts like Melt Away and Everything Fades Away. I'd be happy if she even got that Caution era confidence back to sing. (Thursday 18 July 2024; 06:48)

Infinity video (106,898) by Zachariah from Croatia Infinity video is ridiculous. It's cheap, tacky and just awful. The recent good-ish video was With You and little bit far away - We Belong Together. Before that - Through The Rain and Honey. Everything else: not worth of mentioning. (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 09:03) this is a reply to message 106,897

Infinity video (106,897) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While the video looked like it had good budget, it's not a video that I particularly revisit. It at least has a small plot though hahah unlike some of her recent videos. I am craving some decent budget creative videos from Mariah like her TEOM, Butterfly era days also TMB (that video is perfection). (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 00:52)

E=MC2 off on the beaten path (106,868) by Zachariah from Croatia I love [I'll be loving you long time] - such a great summer song. (Friday 12 July 2024; 10:17) this is a reply to message 106,865

E=MC2 off on the beaten path (106,865) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have always wondered why Bye Bye, I Stay In Love, and I'll Be Lovin U Long Time all failed to have the same top 10 success as Touch My Body. I just can't pinpoint why pop radio didn't give those singles the same airplay impressions as Touch My Body. Were they weak single choices or pop radio was moving away from playing R&B songs on pop radio? There was a significant shift in pop radio from 2008-2010. (Thursday 11 July 2024; 22:42)

Vacay summer playlist (106,832) by Zachariah from Croatia I was wondering - do you have any particular Mariah song or an album that you play more during summer or vacation? A song that is linked with a certain memory that happened during summer, such as, romance, a fling, etc etc. Loverboy and the whole Glitter album is my jam during summer. I have wonderful memories while driving in my car through Croatian seaside and blasting Loverboy from the speakers. I just turned 21 in 2001 and it was number one on our local chart and it was magical time. Great summer. (Thursday 4 July 2024; 08:33)

Rap features (106,804) by Zachariah from Croatia I hope she will and I hope the new album will be Glitter 2 sounds. Disco vibe. I just love that album and I think she is going to revamp it. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 00:15) this is a reply to message 106,797

Rap features (106,797) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think MC is done with having rappers on her albums? I don't know how she could be taken seriously on her next album with rap features at 55 years old. Duets and vocal features is the way she should go for MC16. If she goes with some rap features, critics are not going to find it a step in the right direction at her age. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 22:04)

Praying for the album (106,759) by Zachariah from Croatia Let's hope that the rumours are true. (Friday 21 June 2024; 09:35)

There For Me (106,676) by Zachariah from Croatia There For Me. Finally. (Friday 14 June 2024; 12:58)

My top 10 remixes (106,625) by Zachariah from Croatia 1. Say Something (So So Def) feat. Snoop Dogg) 2. Shake It Off (Remix feat. JAY-Z & Young Jeezy) 3. Boy (I Need You) (Panjabi Hit Squad Mix) 4. We Belong Together (Peter Rauhofer Radio Mix) 5. My All (Classic Club Radio Mix) 6. Loverboy (MJ Cole Main Radio Remix Edit) 7. Honey (Def Club Mix) 8. It's Like That (BenG Club Remix) 9. Say Somethin' (David Morales Radio Edit) 10. Through The Rain (Hex Hector & Mac Quayle Club Mix) (Monday 10 June 2024; 12:05)

Caution is probably better than TEOM (106,587) by Zachariah from Croatia I have to disagree. Only half of that album is very good and that half carried the sale and success despite the other half. The half that was good: It's like that, We belong together, Shake it off, Say something, Get your number, Don't forget about us and Fly like a bird (but only live version). Makin' It Last All Night from the Platinum edition - also very very good. The other half - boring and rushed. Butterfly album on the other hand - every song is a masterpiece. Caution - it lacked a huge hit but it was a decent rnb album. (Monday 3 June 2024; 00:16) this is a reply to message 106,581

Caution is probably better than TEOM (106,581) by Terna from Nigeria Um no Sir, just no. The Emancipation Of Mimi was more than just a massive [era], that album literally saved Mariah from being a relic from the 90's, especially after the way her image, reputation and public perception had been dragged through the mud and negatively, intentionally altered by the media, since they held the narrative back then. Basically what they tried so hard to insinuate was that Mariah Carey was now a clown, not to be taken seriously at all. Smh. Until she was not, she deliberately took that narrative back and forced that respect, whether they liked it or not. She needed a monster hit not just a very good song but an undeniable classic, and that's exactly what "We Belong Together" was - a miracle and the kind of magic most artists don't achieve in their careers. This album out of all her other albums is in a lane of its own, and is also a crossing over from Icon to [legendary] status for her. "Caution" is Mariah resting pretty on her laurels safe, secure, untouchable and respected of course, with nothing more to prove. "The Emancipation of Mimi" make no mistake is the main reason for this. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 15:15)

The Rarities 2 expectations (106,565) by Zachariah from Croatia I would like to see a video for Migrate. And Migrate released as a single. Maybe even some kind of remix. Also, Right To Dream duet with Morgan Wallen. I love him and his writing style. I think they should do a song together. (Friday 31 May 2024; 00:37) this is a reply to message 106,563

The Rarities 2 expectations (106,563) by Libra Lamb from USA Hi guys and gals and everyone in-between. What are you most expecting or hoping for on the unconfirmed Rarities 2 project? Myself, I am looking forward to There For Me to be officially released for streaming. It is such an amazing song, worthy of many people's wedding song from what I've read online. At this point I don't know if it belongs in the Rainbow album or the Glitter soundtrack, but whatever, irregardless, it is a fantastic song and the vocal prowess it took to deliver those notes leave me weak at the knees sometimes. Wow. So what song(s) would you like to see the light of day? Happy Friday's Eve. BTW I love the Portrait remixes, in case you missed it. (Thursday 30 May 2024; 21:49)

Yellow dress at Aruba (106,551) by Zachariah from Croatia It would be, but with big hair with a yellow flower in it. (Monday 27 May 2024; 12:55) this is a reply to message 106,548

Yellow dress at Aruba (106,548) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Don't you guys think the yellow dress that she wore at the Aruba concert would be perfect for the Met Gala 2024 with the theme The Garden of Time. I think it would be perfect. Maybe it's just me. (Monday 27 May 2024; 05:40)

Love it (106,523) by Zachariah from Croatia The Portrait remix is absolutely epic and amazing. I love it to death. I forgot all about Made For Me flop in a second. Vocals are so very good. I actually love how her voice changed - it gives me chameleon vibes, adaptable to all styles and different eras. She was always a master of remixes. Thank you for this girl. (Friday 24 May 2024; 19:44)

Another dissapointment (106,472) by Zachariah from Croatia As I stated before, this was another unnecessary flop. This is what you have been waiting for? Her "rapping" on somebody else's track? Yes, And? was a masterpiece comparing to this. I am beyond words and reasonable explanation. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 13:07)

BET Awards (106,428) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she is smart with not rushing the album. Look what happened to Justin and J.Lo - people are sick of "old" stars, especially if the material is just bad and boring and not current. Mariah keeps pushing r'n'b sound which has its public but people these days want fast tempo and those Dua Lipa dance light tunes etc etc. So, either she will put an amazing album which is going to be work of art (right catchy singles, amazing videos) or she is going to swallow her pride and adapt to new trends. (Friday 17 May 2024; 22:10) this is a reply to message 106,425

BET Awards (106,425) by Robert-Anthony from United States You're right, Brandon. It seemed like it was last year. On another truth, I guess we are not getting a new album this year either. It will be June in two weeks and still no new album news. What if Caution was MC's last album of new music? (Friday 17 May 2024; 10:02)

Anticipation (106,413) by Zachariah from Croatia I am looking forward for the Portrait house remix. For the Made For Me, not so much. I don't see the point. Her team should have learned by now from the Ariana's example - nobody cares about revamping the song. Leave it and move on. (Wednesday 15 May 2024; 14:06)

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,392) by Zachariah from Croatia Finally, someone remembers. (Saturday 11 May 2024; 02:37) this is a reply to message 106,390

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,390) by Libra Lamb from USA We've seen a bunch of these JLo hate videos recently too, they are making the rounds on social media and YouTube. I actually almost started to feel bad for her but then I remembered what she did to Mimi and I got over that real quick. I hate it for her but we reap what we sow and it's finally caught up to her. To quote MC "I still don't know her". (Friday 10 May 2024; 22:09)

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,383) by Zachariah from Croatia Well it is hard not be catty when J.Lo is in involved. Her somewhat genuine career lasted right about that period, 1997-2001. Then she started stealing songs. Second rate "diva" who can't sustain. (Thursday 9 May 2024; 21:46) this is a reply to message 106,381

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,381) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway No, I don't think I do. I became a fan of Mariah in 1997, I remember everything from 2001 and onward very well. Nice of you to be catty, I appreciate it. (Thursday 9 May 2024; 14:35)
