Heavy songs (109,602) by Randy from USA Jaker20, I think Portrait on Caution is heavy so she'll do at least one. Languishing from Memoirs is heavy. Most of yall hate it but Memoirs to me is the closest follow up to Butterfly. I remember Mariah saying in the promos for Glitter, I'll never abandon my ballads they are a part of me. We will get something heavy on the new album. Any word on an album title yet? Dangerous? No MJ did that. Overhead Lighting? Anniversaries? Hey, it's one word. Beauty School Drop Out? The Reinterpretation of Mimi? How about, The Mimi Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2? Maybe, Mariah Nunez? Me. I'm Still Mariah. The Songbird Supreme. Ok ok I'll stop, (Friday 4 July 2025; 14:15)

New single soon (109,601) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Fair enough, and while I did enjoy it when it came out, I haven't since then revisited it. At that point of time it was a refreshing sound from Mariah. But I agree it's not A+. Honey, Heartbreaker would be 2 classic summer songs but I don't think Mariah will be going that route but who knows we got Migrate 2.0 recently.

New single soon (109,598) by Jamie from UK I never really got #Beautiful. I was disappointed when it was released, I didn't get the hype around it. Whilst I don't dislike it it's not a song I go to. (Friday 4 July 2025; 09:09)

New single soon (109,600) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. It's okay, but I never got the hype. Miguel is also overrated on this song, nothing special. There are so many better songs from Mariah that have a summer vibe. (Friday 4 July 2025; 12:36) this is a reply to message 109,598

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,599) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol, old turtle about Gaga. I had to laugh so hard. (Friday 4 July 2025; 12:24) this is a reply to message 109,593

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,593) by Lighty from China Mariah's popularity was huge in China back in the day with hits like Hero, Without You, and later WBT, AIWFCIY, etc. But after the shows in Beijing last year and Shenzhen/Shanghai this year, people start to realize her lip syncing thing and her reputation declined a little bit, especially online. I remember reading someone on this board saying in Asia when lambs took part in a singing contest or an audition they won't sing Mariah's classic hits, instead they'll sing lesser known songs such as TTR, CTTR, Can't Let Go, Never Too Far, to name a few. That is totally not the case, at least not here in China. As to the nickname cow sister, in modern Chinese slang when we say something is awesome/amazing/brilliant, we say it's "Niu Bi" which literally translates to "the vulva of a cow", doesn't sound so good but Niu Bi is a rather positive word. In the case of Mariah, people recognize her amazing vocal skills, 5 octaves, and the whistle tones. So we say she is very "Niu Bi", she's a Niu Bi sister, and in short, she's the Niu sister -> cow sister. And the lambs here are still lambs, but also sometimes called "cow dung", doesn't sound decent either but we take it. As in China, fans of western divas are all more or less called "shit" in some circumstances. For example, fans of Gaga, "turtle shit", as Gaga herself is nicknamed "old turtle" here.

New single soon (109,589) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How's everyone feeling about getting another new song in the coming weeks? There's rumours it might be next Friday. I can't believe we went from 0 new Mariah songs to 2 in such a short span. She said the song will be "Summery" I wonder what that means? Are we talking #B, IBLYLT, TMB style? If so I'm pumped I would love to blast Mariah all summer. This also means we'll get a new video soon. I'm sad we never got a cool remix for T Dang but honestly it's a good song and I'm still playing it. My husband keeps repeating "I don't have time for the rigamarole" hahah. I hope for the next single we have the video ready in advance and possibly a remix and some more radio deals like T Dang. We also need some clever promo like I mentioned before. She focused too much on just radio shows this time, we need more diversified promo and fun skits. (Friday 4 July 2025; 01:03)

Webmaster (109,597) by Haiji from United States My apologies for the long messages. I hope I didn't exceed any boundaries or broke any rules. I just thought it'd be nice to share that info with the lambs. You don't have to post this message, it's only intended for you. Thank you as well. (Friday 4 July 2025; 05:49)

New single soon (109,596) by Bobby A from United States I am so ready. I want the second single to be a jam that has a strong melody, a hook, two verses and bridge. (Friday 4 July 2025; 05:01) this is a reply to message 109,589

While we wait... (109,591) by Haiji from United States Yall feel like playing a list game? So the concept is choosing 2 non-single, favorites from each album and adding an additional 2 bonus non-album songs to create a rare compilation album. Hope I explained that correctly. I'll go first, hope yall will join in. 1. Prisoner 2. Alone In Love 3. So Cold (I actually love this song lol) 4. The Wind 5. I've Been Thinking About You 6. Everything Fades Away 7. Long Ago 8. I Am Free 9. Babydoll 10. Outside 11. How Much 12. Petals 13. If We 14. Want You 15. Yours 16. Subtle Invitation 17. So Lonely (Pt.2) 18. Joy Ride 19. Migrate 20. For The Record 21. Standing O 22. Ribbon 23. Meteorite 24. Faded 25. Caution 26. 8th Grade 27. Skydiving (the actual studio version) 28. Help Me Make It Through The Night Forgot how extensive her catalog was, thought it would be shorter lol well it is a compilation album. I omitted her Christmas albums to keep the flow of the songs going. Btw, I asked chatgpt for a list of Mariah unreleased songs to refresh my memory and I was surprised to see a few songs mentioned that I've never even heard of. I'll discuss this in my next post.

Summer fun songs (109,594) by jaker20 from US I can almost guarantee you that Mariah isn't going back in time and do those songs like Anytime You Need A Friend and songs from that era. She's a different person from Memoirs onwards (MIAMTEC, Caution), and the new album is likely a continuation of that. As much as I want her heavy melodrama songs, she's not that person anymore. People change, and she's no different. Mariah herself says its a different time and cannot and should not be repeated. The album is likely in the vein of Caution and Memoirs which is a good thing. I think Memoirs is her sweet spot right now, vocally and creatively. Surprisingly it's turning out to be one of her more enduring albums.

Summer fun songs (109,572) by Randy from USA Jaker20 we never agree on anything but I could not disagree with you more on this topic. I actually would rather an album full of heavy, self introspective songs. I listen to Languishing, Anytime You Need A Friend, Close My Eyes and Through The Rain constantly these days. I appreciate Touch My Body for the melodically driven verses and the camp video. Shake It Off is fun also. Songs like that are needed. But so are songs like My All, Petals and Vanishing. I think we're getting both on the new album. I wanted a heavy Adele-like album with songs like Hello, Easy on Me, Million Years Ago and Someone Like You. That's not where MC is. I don't even think that would sell for Adele at this point in today's musical landscape. But some of us are heartbroken or want our hearts broken. Not everything can be light.

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,586) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, that's where my mind instantly went. Standard 10-12 songs plus remixes and then the extra handful for the deluxe, potentially after Christmas. Milk the era, girl. Ooh, and while I'm quoting you, can you share how Mariah's popularity was born in China and how it's evolved? That'd be super interesting to know. Like the story of "Sister Cow" being a term of endearment for her, is that canon of fanfiction? Who coined that? Are lambs in China called calves? (Thursday 3 July 2025; 18:12)

One Heart, One Voice (109,590) by Lambi from USA Thankfully, my name's already short and no, I've never had any beef with anyone named Eric. I've called out the webmaster in the past for butchering my statements and unknowingly taking me out of context, but that's just the journalist in me. To his credit though, he's gotten way better since then. I've also spoken up about bias and the lack of space for people to defend themselves. That kind of atmosphere is why people end up leaving. It might be just a fan site, but it parallels how people leave countries like China, Russia, and Iran over free speech issues. The stakes are obviously different, but essentially the principle is the same. I felt it's an important issue to be aware of before completely pushing a lot of lambs away. At the core though, we all just love MC passionately. Most conflicts eventually blow over. I've buried the hatchet with you by the way, lamb. Hope you have a great day.

One Heart, One Voice (109,585) by Edward from USA Eric is the webmaster, my dear. Proceed with extreme "Caution". The last person who crossed him woke up in Indiana with no memory of how they got there. Others, like Bobby A, weren’t so lucky, they came back with shorter names. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 17:35)

New single soon (109,589) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How's everyone feeling about getting another new song in the coming weeks? There's rumours it might be next Friday. I can't believe we went from 0 new Mariah songs to 2 in such a short span. She said the song will be "Summery" I wonder what that means? Are we talking #B, IBLYLT, TMB style? If so I'm pumped I would love to blast Mariah all summer. This also means we'll get a new video soon. I'm sad we never got a cool remix for T Dang but honestly it's a good song and I'm still playing it. My husband keeps repeating "I don't have time for the rigamarole" hahah. I hope for the next single we have the video ready in advance and possibly a remix and some more radio deals like T Dang. We also need some clever promo like I mentioned before.

No slapping anything on the album (109,588) by Bobby A from United States Yes, no covers this time. Type Dangerous should not be the album opener. I believe MC16 is going to be something special with 11-12 songs. Daydream was an instant fan favorite and a mega success for MC because of it. Plus, I believe a 11-12 song album is a part of a marketing strategy for increasing streaming and pure album sales for the first week of sales. Anyway, I guess this time next Thursday we will hopefully get the 2nd single. (Friday 4 July 2025; 00:54) this is a reply to message 109,587

No slapping anything on the album (109,587) by Randy from USA No. No. No. No. No. We are not slapping covers on the end. That's how we ended up with One More Try at the end of insufferably long MIAMTEC. That's the brilliance of Caution. It's short. I hate The Distance, 8th Grade, One More Gen and Giving Me Life. I have a feeling any more songs woulda dragged the album. And woulda been another title/concept from slang. Charmbracelet MCIIYou and MIAMTEC are my least favorite MC albums. I feel like pruning could've helped all of them. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 18:19)

No slapping anything on the album (109,587) by Randy from USA No. No. No. No. No. We are not slapping covers on the end. That's how we ended up with One More Try at the end of insufferably long MIAMTEC. That's the brilliance of Caution. It's short. I hate The Distance, 8th Grade, One More Gen and Giving Me Life.

Apple interview (109,580) by Dove from United States Yes, 14 is better. She could just slap a cover (or two?) at the end. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 11:53)

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? (109,586) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, that's where my mind instantly went. Standard 10-12 songs plus remixes and then the extra handful for the deluxe, potentially after Christmas. Milk the era, girl. Ooh, and while I'm quoting you, can you share how Mariah's popularity was born in China and how it's evolved? That'd be super interesting to know. Like the story of "Sister Cow" being a term of endearment for her, is that canon of fanfiction? Who coined that? Are lambs in China called calves?

One Heart, One Voice (109,585) by Edward from USA Eric is the webmaster, my dear. Proceed with extreme "Caution". The last person who crossed him woke up in Indiana with no memory of how they got there. Others, like Bobby A, weren’t so lucky, they came back with shorter names.

One Heart, One Voice (109,584) by Lambi from USA I don't recall reprimanding an Eric but that doesn't mean I didn't. Bobby A, solid. Mimi L, impeccable. TJ, good. Zachariah, very good. Sascha, also very good. And Edward, you've been good too. You may now exhale (but I'm watching all of you). (Thursday 3 July 2025; 16:56)

MC sweet 16 promo-direction needs to mirror her vibe (109,583) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm not too bothered about the direction of MC16 as long as it's authentically where Mariah is in her life. That was the beauty of MIAMTEC and my darling "Caution". We all know she's the queen of ballads (love songs and introspective moments) as well as flirty, fun and even risque songs and it all comes together beautifully on every single album she produces. I don't worry about quality so don't anybody get me wrong. I'm talking about her choosing the right singles that mesh with her current mien whenever she drops them. Type: Dangerous works effortlessly because her "nonchalant" vibe, lately, has been in full effect and the song fits: melodically, lyrically and vocally. Mariah right now is very understated. The way how a lot people pick dogs that resemble their appearance, these "puppies" from the mother-album need to look and sound like their owner or it will confuse the listeners. Mariah's done that amazingly well with her Christmas projects, she dresses the part, talks the talk and walks the walk. The public eats it up, year after year and the promo goes on autopilot with very few but strategically sound moves. It's easy for her because why? It's authentic, her genuine love of and for Yuletide. Is anybody picking up what I'm putting down? (Thursday 3 July 2025; 16:01)

Possibly the most melodically void and soulless piece of music I've ever heard (109,582) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End By anyone really, but Mariah especially. I listened to it (ears bleeding the entire time) once and never again will I press play willingly on this Whiny Wally production. If Guantanamo was still operational this "song" would have gone diamond over there. Whomever A&R put this all together needs to be lambasted. Please don't let's ask for a live rendition. Not even ironically. The good thing is I don't remember a lick of the melody or anything about it beyond how awful it is. Yay T:D AA+ is a great palate cleanser, that's the #1 song playing on my internal radio for weeks now. So all is well in the land. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 15:25)

One Heart, One Voice (109,579) by Bill from the UK Haha, honestly Stacey all I could do was laugh out loud. A reprimand was warranted indeed. I might add that to my bio on this site: Reprimanded in July 2025 by Lambi (warranted). (Thursday 3 July 2025; 08:31)

Apple interview (109,555) by Zachariah from Croatia Thank you for the news, I appreciate it. It would be great to have circa 14 songs but 12 is still ok. I hope the new single will be a bigger hit than Type Dangerous, which I love as well, but I think is was really more oriented towards us, the real fans who stuck around. (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 10:01)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms her new album is finished (109,578) by Zachariah from Croatia I honestly want both. I still love to blast There For Me and switch to Don't Forget About Us. So different but so powerful. (Thursday 3 July 2025; 08:16) this is a reply to message 109,570

Article: Mariah Carey confirms her new album is finished (109,570) by Max from Germany I'm just curious what Mariah ballads mean. Ballads before WBT or WBT clones? (Wednesday 2 July 2025; 18:55)
