May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,839) by Manuel from Germany

Hey lambs, this is such an interesting video to watch. Céline is talking about the process of learning to sing again after being diagnosed with SPS, being vulnerable, her relationship with her fans, and why she didn't want to occult her fight anymore. It made me think a lot about Mariah. Maybe she watches this too, and maybe it inspires her to talk about her battle with bipolar disorder and having to take medication that influences her performances etc., plus the nodule situation worsening with age. I think if she did some documentary like Céline's, she would be more relatable again, and she still has so many fans all over the world who don't expect her to be perfect and sing like when she was in her 20s. Who knows that she is haunted by her past achievements and who would just like to see her have fun performing again, even with a different repertoire. But hearing Céline speak made me understand the pressures of being such a big star in such a screwed up industry with so many people being on your payroll and the fear of losing it all. Mariah (or anyone from her team) if you read this - we see you struggling girl, and all we want for you is to be happy. We don't expect you to be Sony-Mariah again. You have already proven yourself to the world. You are enough as you are. We love you.

The greatest musical artists of all time (106,838) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Please put Elvis and the Beatles to the list. The one and only king and the fab four should be on it.

1. Elvis Presley 1950/1960
2. The Beatles 1960
Plus Marvin Gaye / Stevie Wonder 1960/1970.

The 90ies with Michael, Mariah, Whitney. What a great music decade it was. I'm happy to have witnessed it. Music with melodies, heart and soul. What's going on now musically especially on the charts is "poor" and boring compared to all the other decades. (There are of course some exceptions.) The new jazz artists are fantastic, the same with some neo-soul musicians.

Happy Independence Day (106,836) by RL from USA

To those celebrating today. Enjoying her contributions: Fourth of July, America the Beautiful, and her National Anthem performance from Superbowl immediately post Glitter. If that was her low point period, she really still shined. Happy 4th to all.

Vacay summer playlist (106,835) by Matty from Vancouver Canada

My albums most associated with summer are Daydream (driving from Ontario to the east coast and sitting by the Atlantic in Halifax on family road trips).

E=MC2 is the most summer album she’s ever put out and I was in 2nd year uni and it was played at every house party while TMB and Migrate were also playing at the club.

MIAM with perfect summer songs like #Beautiful, Dedicated, Money, You Don’t Know What To Do To Me. My sister sitting at the beach in Vancouver splashing in the Pacific.

Creepy (106,833) by Randy from USA

People need to stop playing with AI because now I have nightmares after viewing this.

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.

Vacation everyone? (106,831) by Robert-Anthony from United States

Best of wishes with your promotion, Xavier. I will have to check out Traveler this summer.

Vacation everyone? (106,830) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain

Not really. I'm studying for an internal promotion exam at work next September. And also, I've started watching "Travelers" on Netflix. The 40° temperatures during the Spanish summer are so hard. Nice holidays.

Residency returns (106,829) by Robert-Anthony from United States

I would like to see a couple of special guests like Brandy and David Morales.

Vacation everyone? (106,828) by Robert-Anthony from United States

Yes, Shezz. The Bold and the Beautiful is not as good as it was when Stephanie was last on the show. Next year this time may be the last season if William Bell's son Bradley doesn't start writing better storylines during the 2024-2025 season. CBS made him use the show's one year renewal option this year.

I am predicting that MC is going to drop the first single late January 2025. It is going to be an uptempo song produced with Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.

Residency returns (106,827) by Shezz from Pk

I think she'll keep the structure/setlist for the show the same. She's too busy recording her album to record new playbacks for new songs. I'd like her to experiment more with more avant-garde outfits, have more energy (though I don't expect Runriah to return) and sing more.

Vacation everyone? (106,826) by Shezz from Pk

B&B is still running? I last watched it when Stephanie was dying and Brook had become her bff. When do you think Mariah is going to drop the first single Robert Anthony? I think she's quite into this album now and won't want to put it on the back burner until after Christmas. I have a feeling we might get something in August post second leg of Vegas.

Residency returns (106,825) by Brandon from USA

When MC's residency returns, what would [you] like to see different? New ensembles? New set list with different songs? New stage design and graphics? Less lip syncing lol. Or nothing at all. How do [you] guys feel? I'm interested to hear everyone's view and constructive criticism.

Vacation everyone? (106,824) by Brandon from USA

There's nothing new going on in Mariah's World (pun intended) right now. Lol. I hope she's busy working on her new album and carefully planning the rollout and accompanying tour.

Vacation everyone? (106,823) by Robert-Anthony from United States

I have never seen the board so quiet before for two weeks in a row. Is everyone on vacation or just watching The Bold and the Beautiful summer mystery arc? I am sure we are going to find out who killed Tom before anything new happens with MC. Lol.

Jessie Ware Lightning (106,821) by Carlos from Brazil

I don't know if you guys are familiar with this UK singer called Jessie Ware. She has a song called "Lightning" and it's absolutely beautiful. I think Mariah would eat it up. It's R&B but very modern, chic, elegant and soulful. Give it a listen and imagine Mariah doing it.

Honey (106,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Enjoy your holiday Jamie. Did you watch the English football game yesterday? Very exciting at they end.

I love when Mariah is playing "outside" on any location. It always lifts the mood. Honey is perfect for the summer.

Just off on holiday/vacation I'm sat in the airport and Mariah Honey is playing out loud. Great start to my day. Have a good one everyone.

Rainbow 25 (106,818) by Billy from Greece

A bit late on the topic but I couldn't be happier with this release. I was dreaming of a Rainbow expanded edition for years and had written about it here. I'm hooked on Rainbow's End. I absolutely love it. I love the extra material, the VH1 performances, the fact that There for Me has found a home, the acapella moments. I feel Rainbow truly shines as a whole this way.

Butterfly Tour / Honolulu (106,817) by Billy from Greece

A few weeks ago, one of the YouTube channels that uploads professional footage from the Butterfly Tour uploaded a video of Mariah in Honolulu receiving flowers on stage, the ones that she wore around her neck. I can't find it anymore. Has anyone seen it? Have they deleted it? Too bad.

New remixes (106,816) by MusicfanJ from Germany

"Thriller type of album." I would be happy even with a "Bad type" of album.

I miss MJ's music by the way. "Remember the time" was playing on the radio. But back to Mariah, I do feel we will get some surprises next time on the album.

Jazz, Disco, Dance pop maybe something for everyone. The new remixes are on repeat.
