Webmaster request (109,945) by Stacey from USA Amen. Well said. None of us "characters" have any kind of "in" with the webmaster. I have a few MC CDs listed in his discography but that's my only connection. I've had posts edited and/or not posted many times. Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand. I'd be rich too if I got paid for everytime an insult is thrown my way. It's laughable how many times me being a teacher has been made fun of. Honestly, just stop. Enjoy the conversation. It ain't that deep, lol.

Webmaster request (109,942) by Edward from USA Nobody said anything negative to Brad, except Victoria, who implied the board was full of "hating ass hoes". I guess she included herself in the mix, minus the "hating" and "ass" parts. Some people just love to stir the pot and make things up. Brad made a vague comment about the board, but nothing specific. It was weird because, as you said, we were all just joking around about album titles and having a good time. The vibe was light. Looking at his recent posts, it's pretty clear Brad hasn't been happy with anything Mariah-related lately, which is totally fine. The problem is, when he chose to leave, he acted like this place was some toxic nightmare and he just couldn't deal anymore. That doesn't make sense, especially when most folks here actually liked "Type Dangerous" and the video. Many love playing the victim and throwing digital tantrums, they start acting like they're here to reprimand others, which is just ridiculous. We've got positive folks, critical folks, and everyone in between, but we've all been part of this board for a long time. Brad completely trashed "Type Dangerous", can you imagine if I had gone off on him for not liking it? It'd be absurd. Time to stop being so damn sensitive, it ain't that serious. This board is going to keep being what it is. If I had a penny for every time someone complained about a person, a post, or the entire board, I'd be filthy rich by now. Some keep trying, but nobody's going to be walking on eggshells here. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:58)

The Webmaster (109,944) by Edward from USA Eric's been fair with everyone on this board, consistently. That's basically the board's unofficial consensus since dial-up days. He doesn't need to change a damn thing. The man's been moderating like a pro for over two decades, longer than some of you have been out of high school. If it were up to a few people here with their "cancel everything that mildly annoys me" attitude, this board would've been nuked years ago. So shout out to Eric for keeping this circus running smoothly. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 02:00)

Live and Let Die (109,943) by Pedro from Brazil Apparently, the cover Mariah will do of Paul McCartney’s song is "Live and Let Die". In several cities, ads featuring parts of song lyrics or the names of the tracks are being displayed. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 01:48)

Webmaster request (109,930) by Stacey from USA I'm still confused about who or what said anything to Brad. I certainly did not call him names nor do I ever call anyone here names. Yet, I was looped in somehow. *shrugs* My only comment was how a bunch of us were coming up with funny album titles, poking some fun at MC herself. Nothing too serious. I started posting online with the MC pink boards during the CB era. I was 24 and took everything so personally. Now at almost 48 years old, I could care less what someone says. Maybe it is an age and maturity thing. Who knows. I wish him the best. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 18:47)

Webmaster request (109,941) by Lambi from USA Hey Libra. I too had my rebuttals silenced so I agree with that. It's very political here. Someone that's closer to Webmaster will have more of a voice which isn't really fair gamed. Allow people to defend their positions and allow the lambilies to decide on the verdict. People can read who is out of touch. But I have brought it up to Webmaster and explained why it pushes people away. Thank you for confirming the sentiment. Brad probably falls into the same category of the lambs that eventually peace'd out because of bitterness. He was probably already bitter way before this recent incident. To Eric's credit though, he's gotten way better. He just edits certain things now that could potentially open up of a can of worms, I can see why he does it. He's gotten more fair. He's well-meaning. Also proof-reading and approving hundreds of messages must be a workload so we have to cut him some slack. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:39) this is a reply to message 109,933

Webmaster request (109,933) by Libra Lamb from USA I think for me the problems were you stopped posting my messages and also there's a handful of characters on here that I refuse to even give a chance to interact with. I check in every few weeks for like 10 seconds. Life goes on. We have too many real problems to worry about opinions. Deuces. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 19:23)

Here For It All (109,940) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter JD may have some So So Def remixes. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:22) this is a reply to message 109,934

Here For It All (109,934) by Bobby A from United States I am wondering now if the rumored Bryson Tiller collaboration is on the Amazon exclusive CD potentially being that 12th track. That would surely entice more hip hop and R&B fans purchase that version of the CD. Everybody is saying on the social media JD's absence on a Mariah Carey album is the first time in 16 years. I feel he won't be out completely. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 21:18)

Physical copy (109,939) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't see why wouldn't be. We are here for it all. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:09) this is a reply to message 109,926

Physical copy (109,926) by Jamie from UK Do we think the physical copy will be available in the UK too? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 17:26)

Here For It All (109,938) by Haiji from United States Bobby, I'm still hoping for that collab to come to life. He's one of my favorite artists, so that would make me so happy to hear. Praying you are correct on the bonus track. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:57) this is a reply to message 109,934

Here For It All (109,937) by Bobby A from United States My impatient self just couldn't trust MC, her team, and Gamma. Her team via Mariah Alerts on X played a game with Lambs today to find Here For It All billboards around L.A. this afternoon. Everything seems to be coming together. Type Dangerous had its biggest streaming increase in awhile on Spotify today. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:19) this is a reply to message 109,717

New album (109,717) by Shezz from Pk Bobby A, Edward is 100% right. Even if she released Fantasy right now it really wouldn't do much. Secondly I think we need to trust their process. They have a plan plus they're probably still working a few things out. I'd rather she finish everything right than announce the album prematurely and then delay it later. Plus she's not going to have a mega pop star roll out. 6 weeks ago we thought she was done, that she'd never release anything again and that there was something gravely wrong with her. A week later she gave us a brand new single and said MC16 is on its way, did numerous radio appearances and BET, performed at Capital FM, released one of her better videos in the last 15 years, rpartaked in a confused chaotic song with Barbra, Walter and Ariana and then just released a remix ep with some pretty good remixes. All in the last 5 weeks after being mostly out of action for 7 years. Cut MC and Gamma some slack. She knows what she's doing. The next single will be out soon and so will the album announcement. No amount of promotional blitz will make it perform along the level of the current stars but the music will be there for you to enjoy regardless. (Sunday 13 July 2025; 18:13)

New albums era (109,936) by Giovanni from USA I heard Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez will also be releasing albums this year and I for one am sick of Taylor Swift. Hopefully no one stands in our way for Mariah to get herself a hit song. I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of excitement on social media for this new album with the fans. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:11)

Here for it all (109,935) by Giovanni from USA Very interesting album title. I could care less about the album cover, I care about the music. I hope this album is successful and MC can get herself another number one to her name. "Sugar sweet" has a vibe and is catchy, I already like it so I'm ready. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 23:05)

Here For It All (109,898) by Haiji from United States Looking forward to hearing what Shensea and Bryson Tiller bring to the album. I'm thinking she's remaking a Paul M. song as a thank you for not getting upset when she beats The Beatles' record lol it would be wild if she actually beat the record or even tie it with that song but I doubt that.

Webmaster request (109,918) by Lambi from USA Yeah, like I said this is just the internet interneting. People are mean, and they'll try out being mean online. Have you seen all the unhinged comments on Instagram and X? I feel like we're actually pretty mild and somewhat level-headed here. Also, if you're a Mariah fan, you should try to aspire like her and have thick skin. Homegirl had her family's dog poisoned, their car set on fire, got spit on the face, and had the N-word chanted at her repeatedly while being cornered. What we experience online now in 2025 is like a bite from a fire ant compared to that. She experienced real-life racism in the '70s and '80s and still managed to become the wealthiest, most successful, and most significant out of all her bullies. What's your excuse? Someone dropped a mean comment online, so you have to pack it in? We're all built tougher than that, lamb. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 13:08)

Cover art (109,932) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter One more cover reveal, I’m guessing tomorrow the D2C version. And then maybe the Sugar Sweet promo will start. Hoping for a fun video. I know Kehlani has writing credits on it but some people said it’s probably a sample. Because the other main writer just said it’s written by her and Mariah and produced by Harv.

Webmaster request (109,923) by MusicfanJ from Germany No I haven't read the comments on X and Instagram. I'm not into this. I just wanted to say I feel sorry for Brad. And I liked to read his comments, so I'll miss his thoughts on MC, that's all. I will never have thick skin too and that's okay. The older you get, you get tired to cover anything. You're just authentic and most people like it. More than a façade. You only loose energy with facades. It's not worth it. To be sensitive and kind is not a bad thing. Amen to quote Brad. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 16:03)

Here For It All / Paul McCartney cover (109,929) by Stacey from USA I always love the fact she includes a cover. Some are better than others. It would be so cool to hear her cover a McCartney song. Wow. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 18:40) this is a reply to message 109,902

Here For It All / Paul McCartney cover (109,902) by BFF from United States Looks like she might be covering a song by Wings, Paul and Linda McCartney's band in the 70s? Can you imagine Mariah singing "Live and Let Die"? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 02:58)

Here For It All (109,928) by Stacey from USA Shezz, thank you for your kind words. I always enjoy your posts too. I can't believe I will have a 17 year old in a few months. I feel old, lol. I definitely prefer 90s MC, but always look for songs on each album to connect with. I just want MC to be happy and respected. She is a once in a generation talent. I love the album title. It speaks to MC owning everything in her life and how its shaped who she is today, and I am totally here for it too. I can't wait to hear SS and the rest of the new album.

Here For It All (109,905) by Shezz from Pk Stacey I wouldn't call you a "Tommy Era only" fan. Key word being "only". You show love for her all the time and you never partake in any bashing. You're a wonderful person and wow you have a 17 year old. I too fell in love with her during the Tommy era and I will never deny those were her best years, but I still look forward to what she releases now. It is what it is. Here for it all. Pun intended. I love the album title and the cover art, although it feels more like a photograph you'd generally find in the album liners than on the cover. It's very reminiscent of a magazine shoot she did a few years ago, I think for W. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 03:42)

Here For It All / Paul McCartney cover (109,927) by BFF from United States Based on the songwriting credits, the song will be something that Paul and Linda McCartney wrote together. So maybe something from the album "Ram" which they recorded together or something from one of the eight albums recorded by the band Wings, for which Paul and Linda wrote a lot of songs together. Wings had a lot of hits in the 1970s, so there are quite a few possibilities. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 17:59) this is a reply to message 109,911

Here For It All / Paul McCartney cover (109,911) by Dove from United States I love Paul McCartney. I wonder what song it will be. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:29)

Amazon CD pre-order (109,919) by Bobby A from United States There seems to be a trend these days after an album has been out a couple of months the artist releases a new single and then a complete or deluxe edition. Teddy Swims did it with his single God Went Crazy to release I've Tried Everything But Therapy the complete edition with an extra six songs. Coco Jones released her debut album Why Not More with bonus digital tracks. Also, she removed one song and and added different songs both for the Target exclusive vinyl and standard vinyl releases. Gamma may give Here For It All a deluxe or complete edition this November for the holiday season. Maybe that is the reason for just 11 tracks for the initial release. It all just depends how the album sells and how successful the 2nd and 3rd singles are on the Hot 100. I believe Sugar Sweet is going to give MC TMB radio and streaming numbers for the next of couple of months. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 13:29)

How thoughtful of MC (109,921) by Lambi from USA She knows what it's like to be dethroned by Old Town Road, she could've turned bitter but she was a complete class act, sharing a photoshopped image of herself passing the torch to Lil Nas and celebrating with him. I feel the same recurring theme with purposely including Paul McCartney on this record: "Hey Sir, I am banking real hard on this album, and I think there's a real chance I might break the record you've held for so long. If I do, I wanted to include you in the moment." This is the kind of sweetheart Mariah truly is. She has always shown respect to the legends. Even when she was just starting out, she introduced her cover of Don't Play That Song by saying, "This is a tribute to the incomparable Aretha Franklin." It's like she's saying, "I'm about to perform your song with everything I've got, and I will absolutely crush and do it justice, but please know I'm not trying to outshine you."
