Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,168) by BFF from United States Thanks, Lamb. "Butterfly" is my favorite era and album out of everything Mariah has done. It was a very special time in her career, and it is without a doubt, her best album. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 22:20) this is a reply to message 111,166

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,166) by Giovanni from USA I love your profile pic, I love the Butterfly album and era. Mariah looked her best during that era. I would say she sounded her best but some will disagree and that's okay. I miss her Butterfly voice so much I wish she had recorded another album that year haha. Something about her tone and the rasp in her voice especially in "Honey" was so sexy and angelic at the same time. I'm sure even Mariah wishes she could have her Butterfly voice back.

Song in background (111,162) by Chicago Lamb from USA What song is playing while Mariah signs the CD's? Could this be a track from HFIA? (Saturday 13 September 2025; 17:02)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,159) by BFF from United States Mariah's statistics, success, and resume speak for themselves. JD said it himself in that interview on The Breakfast Club. Kudos to JD for sticking up for her when the interviewers tried to insinuate that Mariah would not have had the comeback in 2005 without him. I remember when people tried that mess with Mariah herself and tried to insinuate that she would not have been successful without Tommy. As Mariah said on "Caution": "That's a no-no. No-no." Who cares about who got the most consecutive number ones or sent their first five or seven singles to number one? Mariah's the undisputed champ for solo artists in the United States and has the most cumulative weeks at number one for any act. And she wrote/produced on all of her number ones except for "I'll Be There". And over the next few years, she will almost certainly snatch back the record for song with most weeks at number one from Lil' Nas X and Shaboozey . They can both send her some flowers.

Here For It All (111,153) by Edward from USA To be honest, reading through everyone's opinions helps me prepare for what to expect. For me, true listening day is September 27. And I'll listen to it in sequence, as it was intended by Miss Carey. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 02:08)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,164) by 4real4real from UK Day 3 - Music Box 30th Anniversary + Dreamlover EP + Anytime You Need a Friend EP + Never Forget You EP ​ Anyway....for those of us who are actually interested in the topic at hand: listening along to Mariah's discography on the lead up to HFIA, today we move on to Music Box - the album that quietly took over the world in '93 and made MC a household name. Shout out to all the lambs who were introduced to Mariah during this era. We don't acknowledge time but you have been a loyal fan for 32 minutes and counting. Some fans call Music Box her "AC ballad era", but the real ones know there's way more happening: the layering on Never Forget You, the gospel storm that is Anytime You Need a Friend, the dancefloor readiness of Now That I Know, the haunting otherworldliness of Everything Fades Away. Trivia time: Music Box sold over 28 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling albums of the '90s. It gave us three US top 5 singles - "Dreamlover" and "Hero" both hit #1, while "Anytime..." peaked at #12 but became a huge fan fave (and that gospel outro still slaps 30 years later). The 30th anniversary edition includes Mariah's full live set from her 1993 Proctor's Theater show in New York - the show that a lot of fans only knew via bootlegs or partial tapes. Now we get almost the entire concert in high quality. Two songs ("Hero" and "Dreamlover") were the only ones previously released from this concert, the rest is new-to-official release. It's like stepping back to 1993 and seeing her voice still finding even more power and nuance in a live space. And I know some of you are young enough to remember the remix culture this era birthed. The Dreamlover EP had David Morales' Def Club Mix, a moment that cemented Mariah as a legit dance floor girlie. The Anytime You Need a Friend EP turned a gospel anthem into a house stomper, and Never Forget You showed off her R&B instincts long before that was cool for pop stars, so remember to revisit the EPs as well.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,128) by 4real4real from UK Day 2 - Emotions (1991) + MTV Unplugged EP + Emotions EP + Make It Happen EP + Can You Hear Me (The Rarities) Today we're streaming Emotions - aka Mariah's "I'm not a one-album wonder" moment. For those of you joining us we will delve deeper in to R&B and gospel territory with splashes of dance and even a jazzy moment (where are our "The Wind" fans at?). Some say "And You Don't Remember" is her best ballad, others "Can't Let Go". They are both included on this spectacular sophomore effort. With the lead single "Emotions" ("You're So Cold" was initially considered) she became the first and only artist ever to send her first five singles to #1 on the Hot 100. Legend behavior and it was only album #2. She proved the naysayers wrong with the MTV Unplugged EP - including the ultimate version of "Someday" and the Hot 100 #1 "I'll Be There" cover with Trey Lorenz. Also check out "Can You Hear Me" from The Rarities, which was written during this era. How was this not even a B-Side, at least? Today's plan: blast the Emotions album with us, followed by the EPs and "Can You Hear Me", then go full living-room concert with MTV Unplugged. Let's show some love to this underrated era. I don't have any social media accounts so feel free to spread this far and wide. (Friday 12 September 2025; 15:30)

Signed copies (111,163) by Bobby A from United States The signed copies are already sold out. Bummer. It is the D2C exclusive CD. I am sure the Barnes and Nobles signing event in New York on 09.27 is sold out as well. Lambs, I give Gamma an A+ for overall rollout and promotion. They have really created a lot of hype the album and a great Lamb experience not normally done by independent label for any artist. Something just feels different about this album release day coming up 09.26 than anything we have experienced before for MC. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 17:32) this is a reply to message 111,151

I'll be listening before hearing other people's opinions (111,160) by T from USA The idea that I would let people rain on my parade before even hearing the music and forming an opinion for myself after waiting seven years is mind boggling. Taking in others opinions is part of the fun, but only after I form my own first. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 14:47)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,156) by 4real4real from UK You are correct, this is not an echo chamber. However, an echo chamber is when existing beliefs or opinions are reinforced, not existing facts. Mariah's record is a fact which can easily be confirmed. It is not a belief or an opinion. Thank you.

Why the dislike? (111,141) by Giovanni from USA Do not come for "Don't forget about us", it's one of my favorite MC songs. The music and lyrics are very good and Mariah's voice is perfect. I actually prefer it over WBT. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:42)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,145) by Edward from USA I stand corrected, Whitney didn't send her first seven singles to #1. What she did do was send seven consecutive singles to #1, which is different, and that's a record in itself. As for "why are we talking about Whitney when it has nothing to do with Mariah's streaming party and the new album?" Simple because we can, since this board isn't an echo chamber where we can only talk about one thing. Whatever you and I post here is open to debate or opinion, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. (Friday 12 September 2025; 20:46)

Here For It All (111,135) by Bill from the UK Eddie how can you resist? I will be up at 00:00:01 on 26 September to listen to the album. It's been too long since we had new material. I can't wait to read everybody's thoughts on the album, the board will be abuzz I am sure. I'm highly anticipating "Jesus I Do", and the cover of "My Love". Question: do y'all listen to a new MC album in order, even playing tracks familiar (T-Dang and Sugar Sweet) or go straight to those tracks you want to hear first? (Friday 12 September 2025; 17:34)

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,152) by Lambi from USA Thanks for sharing. I have so much more respect for JD now. When they insinuated that Mariah's records wouldn't be as big without him, he was quick to correct them, "Nah, don't get it twisted, she's got records that are bigger than the ones I did." Basically saying Mariah is a badass with or without him, and he's just grateful she brought him along for the ride. Unlike Walter's bitter attitude: "She made up some story that she wrote AIWFCIY when she was 12." We love JD. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 01:52) this is a reply to message 111,106

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,106) by Randy from USA He starts talking about her at 30:00 on YouTube. It was a little enlightening. He claims she wants to go full out hip-hop. At one point early on she brought Cream by Wu-Tang to him and said I want to sing over that. He also said that she wanted to "rap" more over We Belong Together. I think he meant sing more with fast wordplay. He insisted on her sing that last note We Belong Together. He also said she can sing flawlessly when she wants to. She doesn't want to highlight how well she sings anymore. That kinda makes sense. I have noticed since she started having problems with her voice she wants to put emphasis on her being a songwriter or she thanks God for the gift of making music. She never wants to talk about her voice. MC doesn't want to put the effort into singing at a high level. He also says the audience wants the new Mariah records to sound like the old Mariah records. He says it's a struggle with all artists. They all want to change their sound despite the success and the brand that got them to the top. It was very interesting. In all the hoopla of promotion I thought yall may miss out on this. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 12:42)

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (111,150) by Bobby A from United States I think I am, Eddie. It has to be the guy who works at the Apple Music data center where they key in all of the song credits for uploading on iTunes. MC has never had a hidden bonus track before. She has had only interludes and lead single remixes. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 01:17) this is a reply to message 111,149

Here For It All (111,132) by Edward from USA Well, we're just weeks away from finally getting "Here For It All". I'm pretty sure the album will be online a few days early, since Amazon and other retailers usually ship so fans can have it by the release day. Seven freaking years... I really hope it's been worth the wait. Even if becomes available before September 26, I won't be listening until I have fully read all the comments here from day one.

Wednesday (111,127) by Lara from Middle East So I was watching season 2 of Wednesday Addams, I got serious Mariah vibes watching Morticia Addams. She has that calm, idgaf sarcastic delivery of words that reminds me so much of most Mariah's interviews. I think next Halloween she and the twins with Anderson .Paak should go for the Addams family.
