About T from USA :

Re: The Butterfly Lounge: the Atlanta sessions (99,259) (99,260) by T from USA I really wish she would leave [Butterfly] alone. The one album that is absolute perfection will be tainted. I know everyone is hungry for new music and it is the 25th anniversary but I would rather her just film a new music video to a song on the album. Say Babydoll or Close My Eyes. Although I can picture a track on a re-release so I do know lol. (Wednesday 22 December 2021; 01:19)

Re: Where Are You Christmas? (99,247) (99,253) by T from USA When did she say there's no demo? Last I heard her say during the book promotion was that she has to look for it and then this year she was going to do something with it but then decided to focus on FILAC because she loved it so much.

Hybrid non Christmas/Christmas album (99,238) by T from USA I had a thought, what would've it been like it FILAC appeared on Caution in 2018? A studio album with one romantic Christmas song to be able to help sell the album. With Cautions release date being in November she could've segued into the holiday season while not abandoning her current project. A song like FILAC would've fit nicely on Caution and just because the word Christmas appears in the song doesn't take away from the general theme of love. ABBAs new studio album has a Christmas song on it as well. (Tuesday 21 December 2021; 04:22)

Re: Smoke and mirrors (99,215) (99,217) by T from USA Mariah has gained a ton of weight, she's once again not sleeping and then shows up on national tv insecure about her looks. This is crazy. She is so beautiful and could come back looking like a million dollars if she wants. Her voice is gone. She will use the covid tour excuse as her reason to not tour, and I for one agree with her on it. Preserve what little she has left and don't strain it. It was all the touring that did this to her in the first place. And the unhealthy lifestyle. Before every album era she says her voice is in great shape and like lambs being led to slaughter we buy it. She will keep playing this game with us, although my suspicion is that if it turns out to not be true than the fans will not be happy because there is nothing else to hang hope on except the vocal surgeon.

Re: Change (99,189) (99,194) by T from USA If she cannot do a whole song live now as it is then what's the difference if she looses the whistle? To me that would be the easiest thing to lip to in a pre-recorded situation. I would rather her do the surgery so she can sing 90% like she used to. (Thursday 16 December 2021; 22:27)

Re: Uncertainty (99,142) (99,148) by T from USA The reason her musical director might be going back to the well for the older stuff is because the older stuff was really that good. It's pure magic. If she's going to revisit the past, why not start with a person from the past who is part of the legacy? Why not team up with Walter Afanasief outside of Tommy's control and see what will materialize. Maybe the best stuff yet. (Tuesday 14 December 2021; 04:21)

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)
