About T from USA :

Re: New album wish list (99,144) (99,147) by T from USA This. And Walter Afanasieff. They were magic together. Truly. (Tuesday 14 December 2021; 04:15)

Re: Uncertainty (99,126) (99,129) by T from USA It's happening. She already did [...] and has been into reimagining her songs as of late (oh Santa, CBPCH, WBT, etc). The Butterfly Lounge is recreating Butterfly the album for the 25th anniversary next year. It's why she said she's planning something with [...]. Those songs are so closely tied to her memoir that it's the next logical step to get people to hear them again. Notice The Rarities didn't have anything Butterfly related? That's because it's all happening next year. (Monday 13 December 2021; 04:44)

Re: Uncertainty (99,117) (99,125) by T from USA Forget about fresh. Word on the street is that she's reimagining songs like [The Roof and [My All] for [Butterfly's] 25th anniversary in 2022. Brandy and the Clark sisters would be part of that project. (Sunday 12 December 2021; 22:24)

Re: Do you like Mariah? (99,102) (99,106) by T from USA I agree. I thought signing with [Roc Nation] and releasing [Caution] was the turn around we were all waiting for. She was reminding me of Daydream/Butterfly Mariah in her sexy classiness. Her image was flawless at the beginning of 2018 right up until the end of 2019. She's gone backwards toward those dreaded Stella days. We can blame Stella all we want but what if Mariah can keep it together for only short amounts of time? What if the lambs are faced with the possibility that every few years Mariah starts reverting to immaturity. (Friday 10 December 2021; 16:54)

Re: Fall in love again with Angels Cry 2018 (99,103) (99,104) by T from USA Yes. (Friday 10 December 2021; 16:17)

Fall in love again with Angels Cry 2018 (99,101) by T from USA Remember when Mariah was finishing up the Caution album and one of the last songs she finished was "Caution" with NoID. She mentioned that they also did a song called "Angels Cry" but it wasn't finished in time. It was described as a Latin guitar ballad. Now I'm wondering if Fall In Love At Christmas isn't a reworking of that song. Especially since some of the lyrics references the word angels, and the whole Latin guitar vibes. (Friday 10 December 2021; 15:45)

Re: I stopped by to talk about... Drake? (99,064) (99,073) by T from USA Exactly. On a side note, when [are] we getting that MC Drake collaboration? (Wednesday 8 December 2021; 17:04)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,039) (99,042) by T from USA This was recorded months ago, not in the winter (as winter doesn’t officially begin until December 21st). Plus this is all done in LA anyway. For example, FILAC was done in May/June of this past year. I actually think her true winter performances are better, like the Beacon shows. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 14:31)

Re: DJ Khaled (99,033) (99,041) by T from USA No she didn't get the message with Caution because it didn't become the hit it could've been. She even says she didn't like the process of making it (after the fact). Remember, Mariah always goes back to the times in her life when she was most successful and tries to recreate those sounds. That always puts her in a TEOM/EMC2 state of mind. If Caution was a runaway success then I truly believe she would continue down that road, now I'm afraid she doesn't know it. I too hope she works with producers she's never worked with, particularly Max Matin. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 14:25)

Re: Adele Vegas residency at Caesars (99,020) (99,021) by T from USA No more Vegas for MC please. Mariah needs to go out into the world and reconnect with her fans. In Australia, South America, Canada and the UK. If she hides in Vegas she will eventually fade away in the worlds markets. (Wednesday 1 December 2021; 19:23)

MC diamond edition (99,016) by T from USA Wouldn't it be cool for a release of a diamond edition of Merry Christmas? It could include Fall In Love At Christmas, Where Are You Christmas and a few new songs. I think she's at the point now that she could group all her original songs onto one disc, and of course an additional disc with all her Christmas covers (for the traditionalists). Who else would love a double disc MC diamond edition album? (Monday 29 November 2021; 19:59)

Re: Mariah and BTS (99,008) (99,015) by T from USA Yes. Two songs and an interview. (Monday 29 November 2021; 19:16)

I hope she fully signs to RCA (99,007) by T from USA When you google the CEO, president and head of A&R they are all real record people. And pioneers of getting hip hop to the mainstream back in the day. They had major success with Alicia Keys among others and are currently getting H.E.R. over big time. This way she could still be linked with Sony for her back catalogue but with 52 Grammy nominations this year I think it's the way to go. Plus Khalid and Kirk are both there too. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 17:55)

Mariah and BTS (99,005) by T from USA There was rumours that a Christmas song with these artists was in the works. Now it appears it didn't happen and BTS is doing it anyway. I wonder if the Christmas special on Apple was cut short because she didn't agree to do the single? Last year she had a song with Ariana Grande and the special was given so much money. This year the excuse was Covid restrictions but I feel last year was way more restrictive. I think she doesn't want to play the corporate game anymore. And that may cost her some future success. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 15:28)

Re: Baby Please Come Home (98,999) (99,002) by T from USA In some of the new interviews she says she would like to redo a lot of her stuff. Possibly the whole Christmas album will be done over in her image. She's done like twelve interviews, imagine she put this much effort when a brand new piece of work comes out like Caution? It would have been heard by so many more people. (Thursday 25 November 2021; 13:51)

Baby Please Come Home (98,991) by T from USA In Mariah's recent interviews she says how she doesn't care for the original CBPCH. She made a new one with a new arrangement that will replace the original. I guess this is her way of finally erasing Walter and Sony from her catalog and sticking them by not having them get anymore coins by promoting it. It's a valuable song in her catalogue so I see why she wants to keep it going but if only she would honour the beautiful original version. (Tuesday 23 November 2021; 20:17)

Re: Adele (98,982) (98,983) by T from USA If 30 is Daydream then I can't wait for her Butterfly to follow. Maybe she'll ask her bff Drake to collaborate on the first single. (Monday 22 November 2021; 14:53)

Re: Adele (98,972) (98,973) by T from USA Ummm with a metacritic score of 91 Adele's 30 is not only the best critically reviewed album of the year, but also the best reviewed album of the last ten years. Every major publication from Rolling Stone to Billboard have praised it calling it her "best album yet". We would be so lucky if Mariah would come with something so honest, so raw. The last time she tried that was on MIAMTEC but the lyrics and her voice didn't connect with the general public. Of course she did want to push Thirsty after #Beautiful so what can we expect. I loved Caution for its simplicity and wish the public picked up on that album. I hope people are simply just not done with Mariah. (Sunday 21 November 2021; 14:21)

Where Are You Christmas? (98,970) by T from USA She talks in the new special with Zane about Christmas being lost or ruined for growing up. Wouldn't a transition to singing Where Are You Christmas in that gold dress just be what all the lambs would have wanted for Christmas? Three songs: BPCH, WAYC, and FILAC with an interview spliced up in between would have been great. (Friday 19 November 2021; 02:48)

Apple's 18 minute add on The Magic Continues (98,967) by T from USA I think it's a great idea that it's an add on to last years amazing special. That's the one that should have the focus and try to make it a perennial smash. It has all the right Christmas elements and guests. This way it brings the spotlight back on to it. My only question is why did Mariah hype it up so much earlier in the year even going on to say the lambs are going to be so happy for her. She did the new song back in May so maybe at that time there was bigger plans but without Ari on the track they pulled the rug from under her? (Thursday 18 November 2021; 16:03)

Re: MC's Range Media has ties to TM (98,960) (98,963) by T from USA I agree by taking the next seven years to reflect, rest, rehab and write "Sixty" would be an amazing bookend to a legendary career. My only fear is after all that time she would not come back with an album called "Sixty" but instead with one called "Sixteen". (Thursday 18 November 2021; 02:54)

Re: MC's Range Media has ties to TM (98,954) (98,959) by T from USA Mariah said her next big project is the mini series. So I don't see MC16 coming anytime soon, which is a shame because her voice is so good now and I don't think we will ever have another lockdown like we had which forced her to slow down and rest her voice. I don't see Mariah as relatable for the first few albums because she was so heavily controlled and on top of that pretty shy. She was sorta relatable more so during the Christmas era with All I Want. The next time she was relatable was Rainbow and then not again until Caution. (Wednesday 17 November 2021; 15:37)

Where Are You Christmas (98,953) by T from USA She said she was going to release her version this year, as it goes with The Rarities theme she's been on. But alas she said she scrapped that idea because she was so in love with FILAC. Hopefully next year no new Christmas music so she can finally give us that one Christmas song we want from her. (Wednesday 17 November 2021; 02:56)

Re: MC’s Range Media has ties to TM (98,946) (98,950) by T from USA Adele's new song in the new Hero of 2022. (Tuesday 16 November 2021; 16:20)

MC's Range Media has ties to TM (98,942) by T from USA I really wish Mariah would have stayed with Jay's Roc Nation. Their 2019 Christmas campaign was beyond amazing and finally brought AIWFCIY to the top of the charts. I've read that a few of the people at her new management group have ties to her former husband and boss. This guy being the latest, he still works with Tommy Mottolla. Yikes. I hope there won't be any internal sabotage. She should stay far away from anyone affiliated with him. (Sunday 14 November 2021; 14:12)
