Much ado about nothing (107,168)
by Randy from USA
| |
|
|
Maybe she got emotional about the lyrics and what she's going through right now. Being stuffed in a size 6 gown, being scrutinized every syllable for lip syncing since she can't tell us what happened in 1997, being in the desert when she'd rather be poolside writing songs for other artists, since she doesn't wanna have to go the through promotion or the live performing that comes with recording her own music. That story was overblown and I can't believe I wasted the board's time digging into it. But thank you Robert.

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,167)

The same here.  I listen every day to my local radio station that plays the 70ies, 80ies and 90ies as well. The clone music is almost hurting my ears and boring. Lol.

Yes. Clones. That perfectly describes the music scene today. No distinct sounds. I listen to a local radio station that plays hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. What a diverse listening experience.

Return to roots (107,166)
by MusicfanJ from Germany

|

That sounds like a cool playlist. The 90ies really were so awesome. So many genres with great new artists, as well as the icons like Michael and Whitney. And Mariah who was the queen of Soul-Pop-RnB. Even the bubblegum pop was fun, at least a few songs. A carefree sound. And the great movies. I love the 90ies cinema.

I'm definitely in the 90s Mariah camp... and generally in the 90s camp for any musical artist/genre. I've been alternating between the 90s R&B, 90s Soft Rock, 90s Singer-Songwriter and 90s Alternative playlists on Apple Music as well as the 90s Pop Hits by year on there. It's fun to put the "1995 Pop Hits" playlist on and hear everything from Mariah and TLC to Hootie & the Blowfish and Sheryl Crow.

I am sure these Vegas shows have been tough for her to do this summer and do other things she needs to do. And being single probably hasn't been fun this summer either. Saturday is her last show for Vegas until January. I hope MC can get some rest until October when the rehearsals for the Christmas shows begin.

Seriously so sad the times we live in. I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s. Life was so simple. Kids had to get creative, use their imaginations to have fun. We rode bikes. We used the street light to tell us it was time to come inside. I guess I'm a fan of the 90s because there was talent on the radio, not just Mariah. Real talent not needing technology to do the work due them. Toward the end of the decade, things began to change. Plus, I remember in the 90s there was music for everyone. Grunge. Pop. R&B. Gangsta Rap. Everyone had something. Anyway, I hope MC returns to her 90s roots with an updated current twist. If that never happens, I still have a lot of MC music to listen to over and over again.

Have you heard about this? Three concerts are cancelled because of danger of terror in Vienna. I feel for those 200.000 people who just wanted to have a good time. I'm so sick of such news, every day. That's another reason why I miss the 90ies. You could go everywhere without having a bad feeling. It's such a shame what's going on nowadays. Sorry off topic, but I wanted to share this.

There seems to be a tug of war going on among the Lambs on the board. We have 90s Mariah on one side and TEOM onward Mariah on the other side. I am on the 90s Mariah side. I miss MC singing the big ballads with brillant and vivid lyrics. TEOM onward Mariah had lyrics that really lacked substance with lots of pop culture language and hip hop street slang in most of her songs. Why doesn't MC give us lyrics with advanced vocabulary words anymore? Butterfly lyrics anyone to take us back to the good ole days?

Yes, that made me wondering too. I was so excited for the "Butterfly lounge", such a cool title by the way. And nothing happened.  I would prefer one good project (album) than 5 or 6 that we will never see.

I like when MC gives interviews especially when she mentions projects she is working on. However, why is it taking her so long to release any work of art that is new? What happened to Michaela Angela Davis and Lee Daniels helping MC turn her memoir into a limited tv series (2021-2022)? Now we hear from MC during this interview about creating a musical. (2024) Where is the Butterfly Lounge album? (2022) Where is the themed album? (2022) Where is the collaboration with Millie Bobby Brown? (2022) Where is the project that she said fans have been asking for her to do? (2023)
Do you see the point that I am making? That is seven projects including MC16 that have yet to see the light day since 2021.

Absolutely, after reading Mariah's memoir and hearing 8th Grade from Caution I have no doubt she was abused by an older man at this time in her life. I respect not wanting to give the full story of she doesn't want to, but reading and listening with someone with experience in this area unfortunately, I understood the vail and story she was alluding to.

New interview (107,149)
by Jamie from UK

Very cool interview, she seems really relaxed. Got my thinking when she said she's eternally 12, I still think something serious happened to her when Alison left her in that room with a guy at 12. I remember reading it in the book at the time and thinking more happened than she's letting on. Maybe that's why she says she's eternally 12, maybe she preferred life before something happened to her that scarred her for life. I got severe depression at the age of 19 from something I wasn't fully ready for at the time and I often think about and get feelings of when I was care free and not susceptible to mood changes and anxiety, and didn't have to think about how I'm feeling. So I can relate in some way. That's probably why I'm so obsessed with the 90's.

Mariah looks absolutely stunning in this new interview. She looks gorgeous although a little stiff but overall it was a good interview. The interviewer was respectful and did her research. The interviewer's energy got Mariah to relax which is nice. I think she saw us crying over her saying she will release an album "soon" lol so she said she won't use that word. She says she's working on new material but Mimi come on, by the time you will release it the "trend" will probably be backdated. Just give us what you did so far. She also said she's working on multiple projects , one of which maybe a musical. While I love that the woman's still working hard I wonder how this is impacting her focus on music.

Ballads don't chart anymore. You only named one artist, Adele, and she is a slight exception to the rule, but it's usually just her lead singles that are successful. Her follow up singles don't do much but she still quietly sells 30 million records. Other than Adele who else is charting with ballads? Everyone on the board always complains that she needs to do something new and work with new producers and now you are saying she should go back to only doing ballads. She never stopped doing ballads. Every time her labels try to launch her albums with ballads as lead singles they flop. [Through the rain], Your [sic] Mine, and [With you] are her signature ballad style and they flopped in the [States]. Also with Boys to Men [sic], [4 seasons of loneliness] was their lead single in 97. It went to number 1 after its second week and then disappeared. It was their last number one. All other follow up singles were ballads failed to hit number one. Their 2nd single peaked at number 7 and was their last top 10 hit. Those are facts. Portrait is another excellent example. Most people felt like it was out of place on Caution and didn't really care for it, but the Hopefull Child Remix is light years better and got a lot of love from the lambs.

Return to roots (107,144)
by BFF from United States

I think the last chance Mariah had to "return to her roots" was in 2013/14 with "The Art of Letting Go" before it became "Me I Am Mariah" (still hate that album title). Many of the songs on that album were quite good, but they were ignored because of the delays and poor launch. The accident during the #Beautiful music video, the divorce from Nick, and Stella's subsequent push for the holiday shows and the Vegas residencies really hindered any chances of recording being Mariah's main focus.
What Mariah needs to do is focus on getting into better physical and vocal condition so she can deliver solid live performances that match the prices that fans pay to see her live. Touring and live performances are where the money is made now, not on album sales. Confidence on stage could translate into more inspired studio albums, but we really need to see an improvement in the performances first. And if there is a chronic health condition contributing (as with Celine Dion or Linda Ronstadt), she really needs to address it.

Return to roots (107,117)

I was just listening to Music Box and Emotions in the gym, and it got me thinking why Mariah never returned to doing a mainly ballad album with a few uptempo numbers. Yes she likes RnB but that doesn't mean it has to be your main focus for the rest of your career. Those types of albums worked for her and it's a shame she got stuck in the same RnB vibe for so long. Going back to a ballad album and then next album after that could have been more RnB. Do you think it's more to do with proving to Tommy that she can make it no matter what? I just think it would have been nice for her to experiment a bit more over the years, show us she's still got that soul sound she had on Emotions and the heart wrenching lyrics of Music Box. Just seems to me she made up her mind to break away from what she was and take a completely new direction and leave her core fan base behind. I'm grateful for the music we've had over the years but it would have been nice and I think beneficial to her career/likability with the general public had she not complete abandoned the image and music she was most famous for. Give us back that Soul influenced, Gospel loving Mariah that we knew and mix it with some RnB and you will have some happy lambs. I get she was affected by Tommy but that was 28 years ago now. Yes she's had some great success since but the diva show and lackluster songs are not working for her anymore. Surely she must see that. She always reflects on the great early days of her career in a positive way now, she needs to dig deep into herself and bring out the caring likeable lady she once was.
