Portrait remixes (106,516) by Shezz from Pk I don't think they were painful at all. Pleasant but not amazing like the 90s house remixes of course. I don't think it's because of her voice, more to do with the song. Thankfully I don't hear the screeching and scratching that other people seem to. A nice addition to her remixes era. When did she release her last original song? Was it "Save the day"? (Friday 24 May 2024; 15:36) this is a reply to message 106,508

Portrait remixes (106,508) by Bobby A from United States Her vocal state has been confirmed that it is irreversible and probably won't improve anymore. MC seems to be okay with it. I am okay with it too, but it is very painful to listen to the Portrait remixes. Where does she go from here? I say just finish recording MC16 with some technology magic and release it to the world to enjoy one more Mariah Carey album. (Friday 24 May 2024; 09:19)

Portrait remixes (106,515) by BFF from United States I really like the Portrait remix. It's definitely better than anything else she has put out since 2018. Hearing the news about the Rainbow remix makes me wonder if she's planning a "deluxe release" of the album for the 25th anniversary. She could presumably include "There for Me" on that release and maybe some Rainbow tour goodies? I know she rushed to complete that album, so I don't know if there would be much unreleased material. I wouldn't mind having a finished ballad version of the "Rainbow" interlude - the song isn't too vocally challenging so she could probably do it with her current voice.

Portrait Hopeless Child remixes (106,514) by 123 from USA While some of you waste time being negative about remixes projects Mariah has no control over, Ms. Carey has quietly dropped three Portrait remixes. So good. She turned a melancholy ballad into a reflective, optimistic up tempo. Mostly sung in full voice, her buttery mid range cannot be duplicated. She sounds so good. You get new vocals, new lyrics, new backgrounds, different vocal textures minus high belts which aren't missed or needed. She flips the beat a lot at the end of the 16 minute version. I'm super excited to get the official Rainbow Interlude remix in June. So glad Caution finally got a dance remix and she really stuck her foot into these. No cut and paste. So brilliant. "So you can just be free." Just what I needed MC. (Friday 24 May 2024; 14:56)

Portrait remixes (106,513) by Carlos from Brazil I agree, unfortunately when Mariah belts I feel a "childlike tone" that I don't know how to explain. Like she is trying to make her voice "sound young" but it comes out strained and screechy. (Friday 24 May 2024; 13:17) this is a reply to message 106,511

Portrait remixes (106,511) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I actually like the remixes, it's some old school Mariah remixes for you, gave me nostalgic feelings, but yes, her voice is very strained. Her breathy vocals are as pleasant to listen to as always, but her full voice and whenever se wants to jump up an octave, you can hear she is struggling, it takes her much effort to just sing one or two words in the upper register and it sounds more like shouting than singing. Yes, maybe she should do an album with all the studio magic you can think of, and she can lip synch her way through her performances. We are very harsh against Mariah for her use of prerecorded tracks which seems to be 90% of her live shows these days, but the general public really don't seem to care, it's been a long time since I've seen YouTube videos bashing her lip synching. It seems like the people attending her concerts don't care and is just in for the experience. Anyways, the Portrait remixes is new music from Mariah I'm actually going to play this summer, such a nice summerly vibe to those remixes. (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:16)

Portrait remixes (106,512) by Jamie from UK Yes a great summer vibe. I'm loving these remixes. I'm listening on headphones and her voice sounds great even the belts I'm not disappointed with, yeah it's not early Mariah belts but it's great to hear her having fun with remixes again and they have definitely got an old Mariah vibe.

Portrait remixes (106,510) by Jamie from UK I’m listening now and I’m actually thinking they are good and her voice is good too. Great to hear her ad-libbing and resinging the lyrics to a remix again. (Friday 24 May 2024; 10:14) this is a reply to message 106,508

New house mix? (106,507) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm not gonna pay for another subscription (audible), even thought I'd love to hear the new connect. I like to read a physical book. And I like podcasts when I am driving. I'll read a book, then jump in my car and listen to a podcast, I don't want to listen to a book-on-tape (which is what it was called before it was a corporate money maker) My questions is, when can I hear the new Portrait House remix? I expected it on iTunes today with the release of the audible stuff. Why not? (Friday 24 May 2024; 05:06)

Trilogy - Celine ... (106,506) by Matty from Vancouver Canada How is Celine Dion's coverage being covered in the rest of the world? (That's an honest question as a Canadian.) Celine has been so expressive in Canada about her condition. But this wasn't what she wanted or what she expected for her career. The vocal trinity was Mariah, Whitney and Celine. Whitney I won't speak on. Celine has been struggling for years, meanwhile Lambs are demanding something from Mariah. Who else with this vocal prowess was in general pop music other than Mariah, Whitney, Celine? Barbra wasn't "pop" and wasn't put under the same expectation to be M.W.C. Diana Ross and queen Donna Summer weren't expected to perform the way M.W.C. Are we underplaying the pressure these three women experienced with their vocal Olympics? Some may be disappointed by Mariah's voice in 2024, however, given Whitney's ending and Celine's physical issues, Mariah is still duetting with top 10 artists. If you have access, Canadian TV has many great documentaries about Celine's conditions and she's extremely venerable. (Friday 24 May 2024; 05:01)

Apple 100 (106,505) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Sorry I meant Apple TV. Didn't she have two Christmas specials with them? That put her in hot waters with Spotify. Mariah needs to fire her team and get a team of fresh minds. She's definitely a great artist but not a good businesswoman. (Friday 24 May 2024; 02:56) this is a reply to message 106,504

Apple 100 (106,504) by jaker20 from US Mariah is not working or had any deals with Apple as far as I know. Most of her recent deals including the Vegas residency and all merch related is with Amazon. So i'm not surprised they snubbed her. (Friday 24 May 2024; 00:00)

Apple 100 (106,502) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apple released their list of 100 best album of all time and while the list is very controversial what's surprising as a lamb is Mariah is nowhere to be seen. This is especially crazy since Mariah has been doing exclusive deals with them which has worked against her because due to these deals Spotify which is a bigger player kept her out of big playlists. So I wonder how Mariah feels about this. I also wonder did she go with Apple because that's the only streaming that wanted to work with her or she had a choice and made a bad decision.

Article: Mariah Carey discusses revisiting her song "Portrait" (106,503) by Libra Lamb from USA I love how humble Mariah is on this interview. The most weeks at number one of all acts. She's one of the greatest of all time. She's so sweet and real. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 23:46)

Portrait (106,500) by Bobby A from United States The snippet I heard on X is really good. I am okay with the scratchy vocals.

Spanish guitar ballad (106,499) by Libra Lamb from USA I personally like all the variations of My All that we've gotten through the years only because they are done well. I Only Wanted is haunting and by far my fave. I do hope we get more of these or something with a Latin sound. Curating the next studio album will be tricky as hell and I would not want that job. We know MC has many songs in the vault and she's always creating. More JD collabs too please while we're at it. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. No disrespect to anyone and their opinions , that's just my two lil' cents. The Made For Me remix is kinda growing on me. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 20:25) this is a reply to message 106,492

Spanish guitar ballad (106,492) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Can we all agree that Mariah has to do new stuff for her next release? She already made four ballads with a Spanish guitar, do you really think what is going to put Mariah back in the spotlight is making music she did over 20 years ago? No, I hope she never does a ballad like that again. The two she wrote after My All are blueprints of My All. Mariah has to surprise us and the rest of the public, something we have never heard of or would suspect, but it has to be authentic Mariah. And as we all know, Mariah can't be something she's not, she is unapologetic herself, I just pray she can do something completely different with her music. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 15:19)

The remix (106,498) by Bobby A from United States It is still #1 on R&B iTunes chart, Shezz. Billboard just released today an article by MC's unprecedented chart success. MC is on the rise again this year. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 20:16) this is a reply to message 106,491

The remix (106,491) by Shezz from Pk I don't think the song is bad at all Robert Anthony. I think the problem people are having is that it is nothing really new or fresh - it is the same mid tempo/slow RnB that she and JD have done to death. If rumours are to be believed, MC16 will have a different sound - more pop and dance focused which will be good for her to get back into mainstream audiences. The 'Yes, And' remix, had it been the original song it would have surely topped the charts with Ariana's first single pull and with the lambs also being onboard. Adding Mariahisms to older songs on their way out is what people are more against, I feel. I appreciate the fact that Ariana wanted Mariah's voice front and center even though it didn't work out as well as it should have. Shows the love and respect she has for 'mother' as she put it. Lets see if the new rumour about their next collaboration is true. It's supposed to be an original, not a remix. It may be for Ariana's deluxe edition that she is working on or maybe MC16 (one can dream). Funny that you mentioned "Lose Control". I had it on as I was reading your post. That'd be a great direction for her. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 13:28)

Don't wanna pre-empt anything (106,497) by jaker20 from US I was also wondering if she's planning on releasing a remixes or duets collection, or both. She's now released so many non-album collabs since Caution and dozens more before that. And in this age of streaming playlists, if they're not bundled up, they are lost having no audience.

Don't wanna pre-empt anything (106,487) by "MariahHater" from Hell I'm just thinking on the logical decisions of hopping into remixes. I'm kind of feeling that she is testing the waters and creeping the way into mainstream. I see that she doesn't want to just release an album and let it die in the archives and be only spun by less than 50 lambs. The remixes are indicators of "Hey I am still here" and potentially these are what we will be getting until the next album release. MC40 my best guess lol. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 02:50)

Spanish guitar ballad (106,496) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway To read emotion through text is difficult, I wasn't jumping down your throat, it was just that reading your post gave the feeling if Mariah had actually released a Spanish guitar ballad, and how claustrophobic that would feel, like "get me out of this creative prison Mariah is holding me captive". If Mariah would have written something like that again, she would have hit a creative wall so badly, it would be no turning back. It was a reply to your message in frustration, but out of love, nothing against you, just very much against your horrible idea. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 17:39) this is a reply to message 106,493

Spanish guitar ballad (106,493) by Jamie from UK Chill out, I never said it had to be a lead single or a single at all, just an album filler.
