Mariah in Brazil (111,189) by Dave from USA
If that's true (and reading a separate article before coming here stating similar things) it may be time for Mariah to step out of the limelight. Even if it meant pushing that album back. This is starting to look really bad. What is up with all these strange appearances and low energy/effort to perform? Now, it's starting to become infuriating because she's doing a disservice to her fans and her legacy.

She really needs to take care of herself because something is just not right with her. This is way different than 2001. She looks absolutely vacant and absent vitually everywhere these past two months. This seems like there is much more issues with her mental health to the point where she is coming off as a pretty zombie. It's not worth the damage in the long run. I hope there is at least one person there looking after her.

New Here For It All video (111,188) by Shezz from Pk
I really liked the clip of HFIA. I heard say it in one of the interviews that she wrote it a couple of years ago and knew she wanted to name the album after it ever since.

At first after the Selfridges snippet I thought maybe she wrote it for her kids but it sounds like it must have been for Bryan.

.Paak is too recent for a song that's two years old. Speaking of, I know MC is busy with promo and touring but he's nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was just helping her get the album together and they aren't romantically involved?

New Here For It All video (111,187) by Lambi from USA
"I lay awake and feel you breathe and thank the Lord I lived to see the physical embodiment of love" sounds like the last moments with Pat. She realizes her mother really did the best with what she got. She may have been neglectful at times, but that's what happens when there is only one working parent.

"But when you leave you take a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me. But if you need, I'll keep my shit together and internalize the depths of the fears." My thoughts then shifted to Dem Babies growing up and Mariah having a bit of a hard time letting go.

"And baby I'm here for it all. Red carpets in Cannes and applause, Bugattis whatever they're called. Baby, I'm here for it all. Our virtuous sleepover nights that kept me from losing my mind through things I don't care to recall. Still, baby, I'm here for it all." What comes to mind is her watching Mean Girls with Roe in matching all pink pajamas.

The first stanzas could easily apply to her kids as well. It sounds like deep retrospection. Mariah lost her mom, so this feels like an ode to her babies. She knows what that kind of loss feels like, and now she wants to let them know what they mean to her, and that she'll try to be there as much as possible.

Will someone with great ears transcribe the very first snippet? Maybe we can get a fuller picture. It seems like a family-centered song, I like it. The first few lines of the melody are very I Believe I Can Fly. I hear a new song that everyone will be covering soon. Finally.

Here for it all (111,186) by Stacey from USA
Same. I don't understand the need to swear. Never have. I listened to the clip once, lol. I am doing my best not to listen to any clips until the album drops. I have never been successful.

Mariah in Brazil (111,185) by Lambi from USA
I'm not surprised. This has been the same running theme with the concerts in China as well. I hope a physical therapist help her gain the will to move and be lively again. Lambs are somewhat accepting at this point but the general public will continue to shred her to pieces if she keeps being a living corpse. I know it's all festive and Mariah is winning awards, yay. But it's truly sad where she's at, performing wise. She's moved more when she was pregnant. The injury from 2013 is fully catching up to her, it seems.

Mariah in Brazil (111,184) by Pedro from Brazil
Yes, the look was great, but the concert was terrible. Nobody enjoyed it, and people thought it was awful how she didn't interact with the audience, kept staring at the monitors, and left the stage multiple times for long outfit changes. She barely sang, didn't even try to move around the stage, and now she's been getting a lot of backlash from both the media and fans, many of whom left halfway through the show. I just can't understand this lack of energy in her concerts lately. It feels like she doesn't even want to be there. I don't remember any Mariah concert ever being this bad before. Everyone in Brazil was disappointed.

I'll be listening before hearing other people's opinions (111,183) by Bobby A from United States
I think there were some label issues with Def Jam after L.A. Reid left. Recording sessions extended, lack of label support and promotion, Walmart leak, and the #Beautiful video came out too late were all of things MIAM faced before it was finally released. MC was just ready to be done with Def Jam.

HFIA album versions (111,182) by BFF from United States
I just listened to the clip of the title track. It sounds fantastic and has me super excited and pumped for the album. I ordered my copy on Amazon this morning and opted for the original album cover where she's smiling with her eyes closed. It still very much reminds me of the "Glitter" album cover. Yay for new Mariah on 9/26 on the 30th anniversary of "Daydream".

I'll be listening before hearing other people's opinions (111,181) by Edward from USA
Definitely a missed opportunity. In my humble opinion, "Triumphant" was stronger than a lot of tracks on MIAM and deserved a spot on the album, yet it wasn't even included as a bonus track. When it first dropped, people complained that Mariah sounded like a guest on her own song, but then she came back with those incredible remixes that proved her voice was still very much there. I still jam to them today. I'm sure there are more gems from that era sitting in the vault, and when they finally see the light of day, we'll all be in for a surprise.

Some indie store in Canada (111,180) by Bobby A from United States
Wow. I can not believe this. There are still 12 days left until 09.26. The Lamb said that he would not leak anything. I dreamed this would happen last night since retailers are already receiving the album in their UPS and Fed Ex daily shipments.

MC's post on X of her singing the verses of Here For It All live with Daniel Moore showcases her impeccable songwriting skils. The lyrics are really deep and personal. I wonder who HFIA is about. Patricia? Anderson?

Here for it all (111,178) by Jamie from UK
Loving the new clip of [Here for it all]. Sounds like a great song. Not sure why she had to swear in it but other than that it sounds like a quality song with current vocals.

I'll be listening before hearing other people's opinions (111,177) by BFF from United States
I swear there is a great album buried within the clutter of the "Me I Am Mariah" album. I bet "The Art of Letting Go" would have done well if everything with that album launch had gone according to plan and Mariah hadn't hurt herself filming the "#Beautiful" remix video. I definitely would have tossed the "One More Try" cover, "Heavenly/No Ways Tired", and those unnecessary "remixes" of "It's A Wrap" and "Betcha Gon' Know". What a missed opportunity that album was.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,176) by Bill from the UK
Yeh I was going to say the same. It was released on VHS at the time, and then later on DVD, then digitally. It's never really been out of circulation. The bootlegged concert was the Music Box tour, which to this day hasn't been released.

HFIA album versions (111,175) by Giovanni from USA
I think the next single might be "MI". Also the song playing in the video of Mariah signing autographs is "I don't wanna lose your love" by The Emotions. Mariah has great taste.

Mariah in Brazil (111,174) by Giovanni from USA
She looked amazing last night in Brazil. That should have been the look for the VMAS, not that horrible golden bodysuit she wore. I love her wavy hair and the sparkly short dress was beautiful. I'm here for it, slay Mimi.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,173) by Lighty from China
"The 30th anniversary edition includes Mariah's full live set from her 1993 Proctor's Theater show in New York - the show that a lot of fans only knew via bootlegs or partial tapes." I assume a lot of fans have already watched the full Here Is Mariah Carey vhs/dvd though.

It is my understanding that all physical copies will have the Sugar Sweet solo version only as track #4. The Kehlani and Sheensea version is only available on the digital album. Also, the Khelani and Sheensea version is a bonus track on the Japanese version.

That's how it's been for me ever since Mariah's horrendous "One More Try" cover on MIAM. Before that, we could always count on her to deliver in the studio, but things have changed. I'm still super excited for the new album dropping so, but I'm also cautious with my expectations. At the end of the day, I like what I like. And honestly, checking out fan reviews beforehand feels just as valid as people reading reviews before buying something or going to a show.

HFIA album versions (111,169) by BFF from United States
I'm very confused by the fact that Amazon is selling two versions of the album with one being slightly more expensive than the other. Is there any difference amongst the three versions of the album than the cover image?

Also, I just saw that Amazon is advertising the album as having a Mariah-only version of "Sugar Sweet". Does that mean that Mariah is going to try promoting a solo version of it as a single? I honestly didn't think that Kehlani and Shenseea added much to the song but understand their inclusion as an attempt to appeal to a younger audience.

Any word on a third single? I also wondered what song was playing in the background of the video with her signing the CDs and if it was a song from the album.

Thanks, Lamb. "Butterfly" is my favorite era and album out of everything Mariah has done. It was a very special time in her career, and it is without a doubt, her best album.

I love your profile pic, I love the Butterfly album and era. Mariah looked her best during that era. I would say she sounded her best but some will disagree and that's okay. I miss her Butterfly voice so much I wish she had recorded another album that year haha. Something about her tone and the rasp in her voice especially in "Honey" was so sexy and angelic at the same time. I'm sure even Mariah wishes she could have her Butterfly voice back.
