What's wrong with Mariah (111,298) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha stop I laughed too hard at this. (Friday 19 September 2025; 00:56) this is a reply to message 111,286

What's wrong with Mariah (111,286) by Bill from the UK I'll add broken hip to the list of excuses. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 09:55)

Packer (111,297) by Lambi from USA I appreciate that, Dove. Yeah that NYE train wreck felt very personal to me. They humiliated the crap out of our homegirl so I'm still looking for answers to this very day. Also how did you know? I actually am in fact a Scorpio. That is crazy how you knew. Is that bad?

Packer (111,293) by Dove from United States Dang girl, you’re on detective mode. (Are you a Scorpio?) You and Bill always have the minute details the rest of us forget about. Color me impressed. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 16:45)

The next single (111,296) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's good to know. I prefer longer albums and songs. I want something for my money. Lol. But seriously 2.49 is really short for a song. The same with "Type Dangerous", it should have been 30 seconds longer for my taste. Do we get one "Beautiful ones" running time for compensation? Maybe the gospel song? Oh I checked it. The one I was looking for is "Here for it all" with 6:37 minutes. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 19:55) this is a reply to message 111,294

The next single (111,294) by BFF from United States The song lengths have been posted on the Wikipedia entry for the album. The album is listed at 39:44 length, and "Mi" is listed at "2:49". Looks like this album is almost as short as "Caution" was... if those lengths are accurate. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 17:27)

Mariah the rapper (111,295) by Randy from USA When JD was talking about Mariah wanting to be a rapper, it didn't click until I heard Mi. She's talking about if it ain't about money I don't wanna hear it. Then I thought about Rihanna's Bitch Better Have My Money and Beyoncé's Diva. So the lines are blurred. Singing fast and talking about brands, bling and hoes is now r&b and pop. I think now about the fast singing in We Belong Together and the first verse of More Than Just Friends and Type: Dangerous. MC is really an MC. Thank God Sarah McLachlan comes out tomorrow. I miss ballads and old fogey music. When MC invited ODB in on Fantasy in 95, I thought she had a lane and he had a lane. Worked for me. Mariah is a bob and weave kinda driver. I wonder how this'll all sound at 60? I know. I know. She doesn't acknowledge time. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 18:25)

The next single (111,291) by Max from Germany I think Mi is just an intro and not a full song. MC said at Apple that there are 10-11 songs on the album. Maybe she just sees Mi as an overture. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 16:07)

Packer (111,288) by Lambi from USA I love it. We'll pray for the right man. Men are called to provide, and I bet Nick and Bryan both felt they came up short because you just can't out-earn Mariah. The guy has to be fully aware that she's an exception, not the rule, and her making more money shouldn't emasculate anyone. Literally, we all get it. Mariah is rich as hell. The one time she's with a billionaire who can actually match her wealth, it blows up in her face. Mariah's insane with money. She sued Packer for $50 million and walked away with 5 to 10 million plus kept the 35-carat diamond ring. I think at this time, she still has residual anger from divorcing Nick so she may have subconsciously lashed the rest of the anger out, on a billionaire. Bad move though, because after much thinking, and with how Packer has now been exposed in high-profile corruption involving the Israeli Prime Minister who has crazy power in the US government and Hollywood, I'm now inclined to believe that he pulled some strings behind the scenes to get back at her. Their settlement was November 2016, and Mariah's public humiliation happened December 2016. That was such a straight savage move, and I feel stupid for not seeing the picture clearer much sooner. I wouldn't be shocked if Stella was instrumental on this inside job and was paid off as well. I thought Nick sounded stupid when he said, "The government did that," but now I see you can literally draw a straight line from Mariah to Packer to the US government, and it makes perfect sense. Anyway, my point is that Bryan was truly a godsend to her at that time. I wish their romance had blossomed the first time they met on the tour bus in 2006. Their love story was cute: "We sprawled out over several tables and booths. We'd already started shooting flirty glances at each other in the bus about twenty miles back. We sat across from each other in a booth like eighth graders. We softly touched each other's legs under the table, undetected while the rest of the party roared on." And it's crazy how this is the same man who saved her exactly 10 years later, during what would become the darkest time of her life. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 13:32)

Lip syncing (111,292) by Dove from United States I think I'm both. I relate to the Rainbows and Butterflies aspect, but I have been a fan since 1990. I was a kid but I can say I've lived through all of her eras. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 16:42) this is a reply to message 111,290

Lip syncing (111,290) by Bill from the UK The OGs have a separate category dahling. We are fans but wouldn’t say we act like lambs. The only cross over is our ruler Bobby A who is a combination of every type of fan you can have which is why he is the best one. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 15:47)

The next single (111,284) by Giovanni from USA I think the next single will be "Mi" or "Play this song". There's a snippet that was released on YouTube and on Mariah's Insta. It sounds interesting and very Mariah. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 05:46)

Lip syncing (111,285) by Dove from United States Right and the OG's. I was grouping "OG's" with Lambs since "Lambs" are Mariah Carey fans. But we can make a separate category. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 06:10)

Love love love (111,289) by Jamie from UK I love this Mariah. Cool, calm and collected. Super sexy yet classy at the same time. And able to hold a sentence together. I miss this Mariah. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 15:03)

Lambi (111,245) by Giovanni from USA I agree, Bryan is fine and dresses decent compared to Anderson. Mariah looked so happy when they were together. I really wish they were still a thing because they made a great couple. I truly felt Bryan really loved her and wasn't out for her money etc. For a while I felt MC had finally found her man but I guess maybe Bryan wanted a family or there were other reasons why they broke up. Even with Nick I never really cared for him or took him serious because he was sort of goofy, and well look what happened he cheated on her. Like how dare you. I do hope Mariah finds love again one day and that it lasts. (Tuesday 16 September 2025; 19:56)

My prayer (111,287) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. After the nightmare with Ike, Tina had this wonderful second husband. Mariah so deserves a husband like him too. Mariah is the queen of love songs, that's why it's even more sad what happened to her with men in her own private life. This one soul-mate must be out there. I believe it's the complete opposite of her "type". (Thursday 18 September 2025; 12:20) this is a reply to message 111,271

My prayer (111,271) by Dove from United States Me too. That's my biggest prayer for Mariah. That she will meet her soul mate and they will be happy and content for the rest of their lives. Someone like Tina Turner's second husband. You could tell he adored her. Mariah writes a lot of songs about love so I think deep inside it's what she truly desires.

What's wrong with Mariah (111,286) by Bill from the UK I'll add broken hip to the list of excuses. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 09:55) this is a reply to message 111,282

What's wrong with Mariah (111,282) by Edward from USA Bobby A, if you break your hip at 30, what are you supposed to do, sit around until you’re 60 to get it fixed? Please. That’s why Mariah sometimes moves a little stiff, giving robot realness. It's not her fault though, back them hip replacement technology wasn't that advanced. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 02:02)

Thank God I found you (111,283) by Giovanni from USA Haha same here and it's all because of you. I also watched the video twice and I like it. I wanted more songs from the Rainbow era. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 05:33) this is a reply to message 111,254

What's wrong with Mariah (111,281) by Bobby A from United States I don't think MC had hip replacement surgery at 30 years old. That type of surgery is generally for people 60 and above. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 00:50)

What's wrong with Mariah (111,269) by BFF from United States This video claims she had hip replacement surgery back in 2000? That sounds pretty outlandish - having hip replacement at the age of 30/31. What possibly could have been happening at that time to cause such a surgery? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,280) by Bobby A from United States Sweetheart is one of my favorite 1998 MC songs. Her vocals are so clear. (Thursday 18 September 2025; 00:47) this is a reply to message 111,267

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,267) by 4real4real from UK Day 6 - #1's (1998) + Sweetheart EP + I Still Believe EP + Do You Know Where You're Going To EP September 17 is day 6 of the listening party, and we're stepping into the #1's era - a moment that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves, but is way more interesting than people give it credit for. By '98, Mariah had officially shut the door on the Tommy chapter and was living in a new kind of freedom. She went above the execs and flew straight to Japan after the divorce to meet with the head of Sony and hammer out her exit. That meeting cleared the way for a new five-album deal and a chance to steer her own ship. The label pitched a standard "greatest hits", but MC felt it was too soon to put a bow on her first act. So she turned it into a thank you to the fans - a celebration of becoming the female artist with the most U.S. #1 singles (13 at that point, edging out Madonna's 12). What makes #1's special is that it wasn't just a trophy case; she gave us four new songs to keep the story moving. Sweetheart, a cover of Rainy Davis's ‘86 jam, came via Jermaine Dupri. The JD collab is fun, but the solo Mariah mix is where the magic lives: the production has room to breathe and her voice is front and center. And those low low's. My oh my. I know many of you listen to Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker, in that order. The solo version slides perfectly between Honey and Heartbreaker. And then there's When You Believe - the song that won an Oscar and gave us a moment nobody dared to dream of until it happened. Babyface built this sweeping gospel ballad for The Prince of Egypt, but it became something even bigger the instant Mariah and Whitney walked into the studio together. Two-thirds of the vocal trinity, finally side by side, not as rivals but as women with voices powerful enough to move mountains. You can feel the respect in every note, the way they listen to each other and lift each other up. What started as a soundtrack cut turned into the beginning of a real, lasting friendship between two legends who'd been unfairly set against each other for years. RIP Whitney - her light is still in that song. I Still Believe is a full-circle moment: the Brenda K. Starr song she used to sing backing vocals on, now reimagined as her own. That EP is one of her best. The Pure Imagination remix, Stevie J's take with Mocha & Amil (her second all-female feature after the ABMB remix), and a stack of club mixes that still sound fresh today. The single made it to all the way to #4, proof that even her "bonus" tracks could almost hit the top. Finally, Do You Know Where You're Going To (aka the Mahogany theme) finds Mariah leaning into introspection, and also into the Diana Ross lineage she's always nodded to. Tommy supposedly encouraged J.Lo to cover it after hearing Mariah wanted to release it as a single - so yes, it seems the seeds of sabotage were planted well before the Glitter days. But we love everybody and we move on. And can we talk about the cover? That silver mini, the hair, the attitude, that pose - she looks sexy in the best way, referencing Ross's Diana album while serving "I'm free and I know it". It's easily one of her best covers. Looking back, #1's quietly set a template: after MC, everyone from Michael Jackson to Destiny's Child to The Beatles put out their own "#1's" sets. But Mariah's wasn't just a compilation; it was a statement that she was still writing the story, even as she paused to celebrate the wins. So spin the album and the EPs tonight. #1's might look like a stopgap on paper, but it's really the sound of an artist closing one door, opening another, and thanking the fans who'd been with her every step. LYM.

Vegas residency (111,279) by Zachariah from Croatia Trust me, nothing would make me happier than that. I would pay someone to go to Vegas and to see her live, just out of joy. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 23:10) this is a reply to message 111,264

Vegas residency (111,264) by Edward from USA Jamie, you've set yourself up for a "I really hope she sings live this time, just so we can finally shut you up". I got one of those from Zachariah, and it was awesome. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 14:50)

What's wrong with Mariah (111,278) by Zachariah from Croatia I saw that and I think it is beyond fake. I think she is just afraid that she won't fall like she did shooting different version of the video Beautiful. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 23:06) this is a reply to message 111,269

Curse or cuss (111,277) by Stacey from USA Parenting is tough. It's a lot harder than when I was a kid. Social media had become the game changer. Like I told TJ, you set the expectations and hope something sinks in. I try and teach my kids to laugh, work hard, nothing is automatic, honesty, integrity, and be kind. I'm trying to get my kids to enjoy Mariah's music. I play it in the car enough, lol. Sadly, that may not sink in. The closest I got was the summer of 2014 when my kids requested the "you don't know" song on our way to swimming lessons. It didn't take long term.

Curse or cuss (111,265) by Edward from USA Stacey, it's really sad. Even when we try to keep kids away from "bad words", like we used to call them, social media just blasts them from every angle. That's why the foundation they get at home is so important. Sure, they'll hear those words, but they should also know better than to actually use them. I remember when I was a kid, about 12 years ago, if I heard an adult outside my family cuss, I was shocked, I had never once heard my parents do it. Even now, I don't really cuss, though I might drop a word or two with friends, but it's not part of how I normally talk. I know it sounds harsh by today's standards, but where I grew up, if you disrespected your elders or cussed, you'd get smacked right on the mouth. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 15:12)

Article: Mariah Carey announces Las Vegas Holiday shows (111,276) by Stacey from USA Thanks for the clarification. When you said, I like others artists, I thought we'll good for you, lol. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 21:38) this is a reply to message 111,259

Mariah's priorities (111,275) by Stacey from USA In the states there were warning labels for movies, music, etc. I was born in 1977. My years of childhood were of course the 80s and 90s. No technology like we have today. I agree with you 100% we are raising snowflakes. Such whiny entitled brats. Not every kid. I teach plenty of good students who understand the value of hard work. I teach middle school special education so yeah I can speak to this somewhat. It's a hard balance of when to choice for my kids and let them choose for themselves. All three of my kids are teenagers. I have to teach what I can and hope it sinks in. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 21:35) this is a reply to message 111,255

Mariah's priorities (111,255) by TJ from Norway I do agree about parenting your kids to not swear while talking, as I [too] think it's not necessary to use those words. Did you grow up in a society where there was warnings on movies, albums and so on? I did not. I see the parenting guidance on the different tv series and stuff on Netflix etc, and I'm thinking this has to be a result of the worst generation ever when thinking of parenting. Generation X. We are helicoptering, stuff pillows under their arms (actually mattresses) and trying to protect them in ways that makes them incredibly insecure and not capable to handle normal problems in life. I'm not saying that you're one of those, because I really do believe you're not, but I see the parents of Generation X are often doing that. I think kids at home, and kids away from their parents can be totally different personalities and behave so differently that a lot of the parents would be shocked. Even in religious communities. Mariah's kids, I hope get the protecting they need, because I've said from day one that I hoped they would grow up away from fame and the public life she's living. Sadly this is not my first language, and I hope I made a point here. Peace and love. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 07:21)

What's wrong with Mariah (111,274) by Edward from USA She actually ended up having hip replacement surgery. If you remember her MTV Cribs episode, she fell off a treadmill while working out in high heels. Classic Mariah. (Wednesday 17 September 2025; 20:32) this is a reply to message 111,269
