About Tevin from USA: A laid back guy that loves Mariah!

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,068) by Tevin from USA I agree TJ. (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 15:31) this is a reply to message 105,060

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,060) by TJ from Norway If we're going in that direction, I will say that it is strange that people write anything here. Discussing a person we don't know. But then again, here we are, a bunch of "crazy fans". (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 06:50)

Insider account (105,050) by Tevin from USA I agree, a Drake collaboration would be awesome. Also I wish she would collaborate with 21 Savage too. I can see them making a Fantasy or Honey remix ish type song. (Tuesday 23 January 2024; 04:04) this is a reply to message 105,049

Insider account (105,049) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I want a Drake and Mariah collaboration. Drake clearly admires Mariah because ever so often he randomly posts photos of her on his story or on his feed. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:27)

Insider account (105,048) by Tevin from USA I thought the reason Gucci was on the remix was because he was having beef at the time with Eminem. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:05) this is a reply to message 105,044

Insider account (105,044) by Bobby A from United States Obsessed was her last huge upbeat song. It might have done better on the Hot 100 if Gucci Mane was not on the remix. MC should have chosen Drake for the original mix. Also, something tells me MC will have multiple gospel songs on MC16. (Monday 22 January 2024; 12:55)

Insider account (105,047) by Tevin from USA Don't get me wrong, I love me some ballads, but I do hope we get some good mid and uptempo songs. It seems like everyone popular who can "sing" in the current industry is making moody slow or mid tempo songs. I need some fresh upbeat music with substance. Did we even have a song of the summer last year? I feel like last year we didn't. Maybe a Sza song being the closest but her stuff was mid tempo. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,042

Insider account (105,042) by Pedro from Brazil I think MC decided to go into a more upbeat sound this time because "Obsessed" has recently become her most streamed song daily on Spotify, sometimes only behind WBT by a few streams. (Monday 22 January 2024; 02:30)

New projects (105,046) by Tevin from USA What's the name of this Twitter account? Oh I hope it's true. We need redemption for E=MC2. (Monday 22 January 2024; 20:46) this is a reply to message 105,022

New projects (105,022) by Pedro from Brazil According to a Twitter account that is supposedly an insider, Mariah's lead single will arrive between mid-February and May, the album musical style will be similar to E=MC2 and will include recordings from the studio sessions. The music video has been already filmed. Well, I don't know about the overall accuracy of this account, but every since I've been following it they were right about everything they leaked. They knew about Ariana's imminent comeback, video, album title and imagery long before it was released as well as other artists, so I hope they'll be right about MC too.

The reintroduction of Mariah Carey (104,944) by Tevin from USA Sounds like an awesome plan. I hope it all comes to fruition. But, not to sound like a Debbie downer, Mariah has definitely got to work on her vocals before promoting anything. Everyone knows how tough promotion can be on vocals. Think of how amazing she sounded at the start of the TEOM promo tour, compared to how she sounded during the actual tour for the album, and that was when he vocals were a lot stronger and more reliable. My thought is for her promo appearances she should do a mix of pre recorded videos (think late night v time mix video), plus semi pre-recorded uptempo song, and a fully live strip back ballad, where she can take her time and sing her heart out.

The reintroduction of Mariah Carey (104,943) by Bobby A from United States I like the way L.A. Reid and Usher are promoting his new album, Coming Home, which is going to be releases on the same day as his Super Bowl LVIII Half-time performance. He is bringing his career back home by working with producers and songwriters he had worked with in the past and some new producers. Maybe MC needs to do something similar that will reintroduce her back to the pop and R&B charts. I say a reintroduction because MC is going need an album promotional plan that is going make MC16 stay on the minds of music lovers. She needs a new team to help her accomplish reintroducing her back to radio and the media. She is going to have to release two iHeart Music radio singles before the album's release with one being a huge ballad. MC16 should not have any rap features since MC is older now. MC will need to some type of huge album release event a week prior to the album's release. Maybe a 5-night performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show could be a first for MC. No pre-recorded tracks or gimmicks during the performances should heard. There should be just raw soul stirring performances each night similar to her MTV Unplugged performances. Finally, I would like to see the album released on same day as a primetime interview special with Robin Roberts. An interview with Robin Roberts would be what MC needs to ensure MC16 is heard by new music listeners. If she does a traditional album release, MC16 will be dead upon arrival.

Love for Memoirs (104,918) by Tevin from USA Thank you so much. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 05:17) this is a reply to message 104,911

Love for Memoirs (104,911) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was checking for you on YouTube yesterday and for some weird reason they removed it but I found it on sound cloud. Enjoy (Friday 12 January 2024; 22:18)

Love for Memoirs (104,910) by Tevin from USA Oh ok. I'll see if I can find it online. (Friday 12 January 2024; 18:27) this is a reply to message 104,893

Love for Memoirs (104,893) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yup. The remix that was supposed to be on Angels Advocate. Featuring The Dream and Ludacris. Which reminds me I would love for Mariah to work with The Dream again. (Friday 12 January 2024; 02:26)

Love for Memoirs (104,892) by Tevin from USA Ribbons unreleased remix? (Friday 12 January 2024; 00:30) this is a reply to message 104,876

Love for Memoirs (104,876) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Memoirs is gonna have its 15th anniversary this year and wow time flies. Might be an unpopular opinion but I love Memoirs through and through. It's a shame the album wasn't a huge success. It had so many amazing songs. Some of which were so different from Mariah's usual sound. UOOMF with Nicki should have been a hit, they both killed it on the song. Obsessed was so fun and fresh. I love the ballads. "More than just friends" should have been released as a single and same for BGK. I love "Ribbon" too and its unreleased remix. "Inseparable" was a cute moment too. Basically I think it's one of those albums where I would have the least of any skips. I also wish the "H.A.T.E.U" remix was released properly and the general public knew about it. Anyways wanted to show my love for Memoirs a great album which unfortunately fell through the cracks. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 00:06)

Tanaka (104,781) by Tevin from USA Thanks. (Wednesday 3 January 2024; 04:56) this is a reply to message 104,774

Tanaka (104,774) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly it was one of those shorts on YouTube that I ran into randomly. I bookmarked it though. I would go back and see. Here you go. "They've robbed me several times." Haha. (Tuesday 2 January 2024; 23:11)

Tanaka (104,761) by Tevin from USA Do you have a link to that clip? When was that? (Tuesday 2 January 2024; 16:35) this is a reply to message 104,741

Tanaka (104,741) by Terna from Nigeria I don't know how to put this, so I'm just gonna say it direct. Mariah and the Grammys are like water and fire. They don't mix. You really just have to go back in time to every time she was nominated, to see clearly that, that Academy has something against her and the feeling's reciprocal from her to them too. Lol - remember that clip when she spoke of "When they're ready to give her Grammys, they would come see her. Oh boy." (Monday 1 January 2024; 16:06)

Best Love Takes Time performance (104,626) by Tevin from USA I love her debut voice, but I have to agree 93-94 is pure perfection. Powerful, silky smooth, fluid. (Saturday 23 December 2023; 01:41) this is a reply to message 104,623

Best Love Takes Time performance (104,623) by Andrew from the UK I never *got* liking the debut voice over what came after. 92-94 may have had ever-so-slightly less power, but the tone was more silky and fluid. It was beautiful and impressive - as opposed to just impressive. The debut era feels like Mariah attended the Whitney Houston School of Shouting. (Saturday 23 December 2023; 00:30)

Congratulations (104,506) by Tevin from USA You're not the only one. (Monday 11 December 2023; 21:04) this is a reply to message 104,501

Congratulations (104,501) by Zachariah from Croatia Of course she will get to number one. She looks better than ever, she sounds amazing (I don't understand why some people say she is lip syncing when clearly she is singing live) and she will be number one for Christmas. Btw, I have to ask - are there any straight people here or I am the only straight guy here? (Monday 11 December 2023; 08:48)

All I live for (104,417) by Tevin from USA Did you all see the snippet of Mariah singing All I Live For? She sounds good. I need her to start doing more impromptu moments. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 03:37)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,374) by Tevin from USA Awesome, I'm glad you were able to check out those songs. Let's hope Mariah drops a new album in 2024. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 19:49) this is a reply to message 104,354

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,354) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi Tevin, thanks for your suggested songs by Taylor. I liked them all but "Dear John" is my favourite. I always say I want a jazz album by Mariah which I still do. I think Mariah could also do some country, gospel and retro-soul. She can sing every genre like she never did something else. That's rare. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 10:29)

Would you rather (104,295) by Tevin from USA I love There For Me. (Thursday 30 November 2023; 04:15) this is a reply to message 104,282

Would you rather (104,282) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with most of these tracks except I don't care to hear Justin Timberlake or want Mariah associating with him. He's a snake and has done some shady ish towards women. I can't stand people like him, a true culture vulture. There For Me has always been one of my favorites and I include it in my Glitter soundtrack playlist. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 22:29)

Would you rather (104,274) by Tevin from USA I really need to hear Mariah's version of I lose Control. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 05:02) this is a reply to message 104,268

Would you rather (104,268) by Nick G from Germany What tracks can be on The Rareties 2? When I feel it, There for me, 100%, Imperfect, Yours (with Justin Timberlake), Weakness of the body, Hypnotized, Call me now (with Westlife), Skydiving, Panic in the city, #Beautiful dance remix, I lose control. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 21:47)

Would you rather (104,273) by Tevin from USA Yes. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 05:01) this is a reply to message 104,267

Would you rather (104,267) by Norman from USA Why not both? Imagine? I'd love it. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 20:12)

Would you rather (104,272) by Tevin from USA I agree. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 05:00) this is a reply to message 104,265

Would you rather (104,265) by Zachariah from Croatia I would like to see her new album. A banger. A real banger. With different producers. Like Max Martin for example. Since her voice is pretty good now, I want that. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 19:06)

Would you rather (104,264) by Tevin from USA I'm quite curious to read everyone's opinion. For 2024, would you rather have Mariah releases a 10 to 12 tract Rarities 2 album, where half of the songs are never before heard songs, or would you rather see here release a brand new 10 to 12 song studio album? (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 18:50)

Never sung in her life (104,179) by Tevin from USA As much as Infinity annoyed me, I will happily die on the hill of being a Why You Mad fan. That song should have been a single. (Thursday 23 November 2023; 12:51) this is a reply to message 104,168

Never sung in her life (104,168) by Andrew from the UK I knew I liked you. So let's do it. "And, no, asking a singer to sing isn't a big ask, but expecting 1995 or 2000s vocals isn't going to happen no matter the critique." Please do point to the recent post that requests such vocals be produced. I'll be first in line to berate the poster for making such a silly request. Don't hold back on me now because I am lovin' me some Nasty Norman - but I, too, despise gaslighting, or as I like to label it: "flat denial of observable reality". So point to the posts and we can get past the foreplay and have ourselves a moment. "It's okay to only like her 90s stuff and nothing past that. Admit it and move on - you'll all be happier. But no need to constantly bash every effing move and call it constructive when all it is, is tearing things down." Well, Big Nasty, I'm struggling to letcha get to second base with this one so let's unpack it while we get cosy by the fire. I can't remember - nay, imagine - any of the guys, girls or Terna-based species that visit this website ever saying that they only like Mariah Carey's 90s music. It would be an absurdity. They would be, ripped, shredded, slapped... wait. I'm gonna stop that right there because I know I got Bobby A excited and this is a date for two. So pop in the relevant posts where people have stated the absurd 90s things, then pop open the Cristal so we can round third base in a bubble bath. "Now, joy to the effing world or whatever. We mostly love everyone." Big Nasty, how bloody dare you? I'm lying here, bubbles in one hand, some other kinda bubbles protecting my itty bitty dignity, waiting for you to dive in and hit a home run... and you love "mostly everyone"? Nuh uh. I'm a one guy kinda girl. Close the door, lose the key, leave the posts on the mat for me. Show is over. [How pissed is everyone right now for having that song put it into their brains? Serves you right for reading my private love letter to Big Nasty.] (Thursday 23 November 2023; 03:53)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,161) by Tevin from USA Dear John, Back to December and Enchanted are three beautiful songs from Taylor's album Speak Now. Give them a listen. It's no Butterfly album but she does have a decent pen game, even if it slightly sub par to Mariah's. Anyway let me know how you like those three songs, they are what made me a Taylor fan. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 03:51) this is a reply to message 104,156

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,156) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, Taylor Swift seems very relatable. I only know "Shake it off" and her debut country album. Lol I had friends from Texas, they told me to give the album a try when it came out. Back then I never thought Taylor Swift would be the biggest female pop star chartwise in 2023. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 20:13)

Damn, she looks good (104,079) by Tevin from USA I know I've been a bit critical of Mariah lately, but her Jennifer Hudson show interview was great, and she looked amazing. The look was giving mature Daydream vibes. (Thursday 16 November 2023; 04:50) this is a reply to message 104,065

Damn, she looks good. (104,065) by Zachariah from Croatia Jennifer Hudson show - damn, she looks good. Epic styling. (Wednesday 15 November 2023; 17:41)

7 songs one billion streams (103,922) by Tevin from USA I still say Daydream was the most perfect album title that Mariah has named. On the outside "looking in" she was on top of the world with money, fame, prestige, the looks and the voice. Yet behind the scenes with the all the mess that was going on and falling apart in her personal life, all the external "happiness" truly was just a daydream. (Monday 30 October 2023; 20:35) this is a reply to message 103,919

7 songs one billion streams (103,919) by Andrew from the UK I often wondered why she seemed to completely pay Daydream dust once the touring was over. I arrived to the conclusion that Butterfly was actually borne out of the ashes of the Never-Were-Grammy's for Daydream. That is to say: I believe the conversation, or the statement she gave Tommy and Columbia Records was something along the lines of the following: "I made the perfect pop/R&B crossover album, with Daydream, I practically ruled Billboard for a year with it, got three No.1 singles out of it, put Old Dirty Bastard at No.1 on a pop record, revolutionized the Middle8 rapper segment - and what did the industry do to me? It put me on a television camera for three hours whilst they kept giving me the middle finger and I had to sit there and take it. Well I'm done with them. I'm not doing another Daydream: I'm doing something completely new." And in that the concept of Butterfly was born and Daydream was buried for a decade or so. (Monday 30 October 2023; 09:26)
