Surprise collaboration (107,218) by Robert-Anthony from United States What do the Lambs think about the Bruno Mars' and Lady Gaga's surprise duet, Die With Smile? I like it. I think the two sound good together. (Friday 16 August 2024; 14:00)

Make It Fly Like a Bird (107,217) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Knocking MIH and FLAB for the middle of the road, pedestrian Through The Rain and Can't Take That Away is a wild take. (Friday 16 August 2024; 12:58) this is a reply to message 107,213

Make It Fly Like a Bird (107,213) by Randy from USA Mariah really loves Fly Like a Bird it seems. She performs it to a crescendo at many of her concerts. She's always loved Make It Happen for some reason or another, performing it at Divas 98 when she had a gazillion other songs to choose from. Neither one were massive hits but moreso as a fan, out of all her inspirational songs, neither of those do anything for me. I lump them with Hero. When I needed to get through my commute to work each morning after my supervisor promoted his side chick and a man's man over me in 2017, I remember playing Through The Rain every single morning to my eyes welling up. When I gained weight and had a friend tell me, "you should've known that would end your chances at a relationship, this is Atlanta," I played Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) countless evenings while steaming broccoli and grilling chicken breast seasoned with thoughts of self-harm. Mariah has talked so bad about Through The Rain and blamed it for Charmbracelet failing. I mean, did Fly Like a Bird even chart? Make it Happen did make it to the top 5 but I swear neither of those songs do anything for me. While Through the Rain and Can't Take That Away are some of the first songs I would play to a non-Mariah person. You know, like an alien. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 13:36)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,215) by David Baker from United States Maybe it's because she just learned that her sister Alison is in hospice care and close to death. Naw. She doesn't care about Alison. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 16:47)

Saved (107,214) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Thank you for such kind words, Mara. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 107,209

Saved (107,209) by Mara from United States Joachim I am so happy you are saved. We are all one big family here regardless if we post every day or lurk or post once in a while. It's a community unlike many with so many great people here. I am here to say that you are one special person to me and many here. Who cares about a few pounds is right-as long as you are still here and fighting and knowing that we all go through our own battles at different times. It's nice to have a family of supportive friends where we feel safe to confide things. Mariah's music alone is therapeutic to most of us here. I am keeping you in my prayers and know regardless of anyone's religion or lack of - that you have a purpose and a higher power has much in store for you. (Wednesday 14 August 2024; 06:17)

Meteorite (107,212) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States It was a missed chance for a 2014 hit. (Thursday 15 August 2024; 03:39) this is a reply to message 107,207

Meteorite (107,207) by Randy from USA C thanks for the info. I heard it for the first time today in SoundCloud. It sounds like it's truer to the sample. Hers sounds more trippy/rave/trance like. I imagine doing illicit drugs in Studio 54 in the 70s to hers. His, if slowed up, sounds like TEOM fare. Here's the link if anyone's interested. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 22:11)

MC talks about a Whitney deep cut (107,211) by Jamie from UK I love that song. (Wednesday 14 August 2024; 17:23) this is a reply to message 107,208

MC talks about a Whitney deep cut (107,208) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is one of MC's favorite Whitney songs. She called it a "deep cut" in an interview that nobody talks about. MC has never mentioned Kashif before. I definitely hear Whitney's influence on There's Got To Be A Way and Someday. I wonder what a MC and Kashif duet would have sounded like in the 90s. (Wednesday 14 August 2024; 03:33)

Martyn (107,210) by Mara from United States I was watching the tv and the news about the canceled Taylor Swift concerts brought up references to the horrific Manchester incident at the Ariana Grande concert - immediately my thoughts went to our MCA family member Martyn. He was such a special person on this board. I just wanted to remember him here with people who knew him and interacted with him, and we absolutely know "he's shining down on us from heaven".

Saved (107,198) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This community must be one of the best communities in the world. I listened to all of you, and just woke from one of the best nights of my life. Thanks to Jamie who reached out to me personally, and to all the other lambs, thank you again And Mariah, please never change, but you know that better than me, it's like a blessing from the skies, it's intense, and it's right. Your Christmas shows may be a bit early for me, but I hope to see you in 2025, maybe I'm just talking to myself, who knows, right? Lambs, keep on posting, we saved ourselves tonight, and that feels juuuust right. Have a splendid Monday, going to start on medication today, who cares if I might gain 20 pounds, It will all be off before first of November. (Monday 12 August 2024; 06:38)

Live duet versions (107,202) by Zachariah from Croatia Every week I listen to "With You I'm Born Again" that she sang with John Legend. What pleasure is that for my ears.

Live duet versions (107,204) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's such a beautiful song. I would also love a live album with duets and the best live performances. With songs like "You and I", "My All/Remix" at Pavarotti & Friends, "Bringin' on the heartbreak" the incredible version from the Charmbracelet Tour and many more. I want it all.

Saved (107,201) by Stacey from USA I just remember there is only one you. I suffer from anxiety and depression. So did my dad. My 15 year old daughter is battling those demons as well. Sometimes in my darkest nights, I was so grateful the sun rose. It meant I made it through another night. Music in general is my therapy.

Revisiting MIAMTEC and Caution (107,197) by Randy from USA Since nothing's coming out of Capri, I thought I'd tell you guys, I'm not being a loser. Excuse me, I'm between jobs, not unemployed. I was walking to the 7-11 and I listened to MIAMTEC intently. It's growing on me. Cry and Faded are as much about Nick Cannon as Butterfly and Side Effects are about Tommy. Each song on MIAMTEC is wildly different. Dedicated, #Beautiful, [You Don't Know What To Do] all sound different. Meteorite sounds like nothing she's ever done before. I still can't believe they chose You're Mine as the single. If they had took Wale off the intro acapella, You Don't Know What To Do would've been at least as big as Obsessed, if not bigger as a first single. But overall, it's not as bad as I originally reviewed. Now, Caution. If Rainbow was made in three months and feels rushed, Caution must've been recorded during a morning shower. The first four tracks are powerful and for such a short album that means over half the album is good. I think The Distance and One Mo Gen are stupid but the album as a whole is still growing on me. I will say Mariah doesn't create bad albums, she creates bad albums when compared to her best work. If Daydream and Butterfly are the diamonds of her collection, MIAMTEC and Caution are Walmart cubic zirconia but I'd still wear them proudly. (Monday 12 August 2024; 03:39)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,199) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, she seemed much happier with Bryan Tanaka. Sometimes I look at his Instagram, he doesn't post much lately. The last one is 4 or 5 month ago and his look was very thoughtful. They always seemed so happy together.

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,194) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think MC is just lonely? I bet she misses being attached to a man. When you don't have a significant other to dine out or cook or shop with, it can cause a feeling of loneliness. After breaking up with Tanaka, it is probably the longest time she hasn't had a significant other in her life. We have to admit she appeared much happier when she was with Tanaka. Her interviews were good. She smiled more when out in public with Tanaka. MC just geniunely seemed to happier 2 years ago. Now she seems to be so sad and disconnected from the audience, her band, and her singers on a stage she commanded with confidence 2 years ago. I am no Dr. Phil by all means. Just my opinion from my own experience. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 22:47)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,190) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I wonder what she's struggling with. That was really sad to watch. Reminds me of years back when she started crying during a performance of Outside (I believe; she was wearing black feathers and had just had that accident on the set of the #Beautiful remix video set), or when she cried at the Christmas concert when her and Nick were breaking up. At least we know she's singing live, but it was hard watching the backup singers and band keep looping back waiting for her to jump back in. I wonder if all the focus and discussion on Celine's struggle with her voice and illness is making Mimi reflect on her own vocal aging. No Olympian can do what they did in their 20's while they're in their 50's. Anyway, it breaks my heart when I see Mariah cry. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 20:39)
