Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,389)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
| |
|

This video was so interesting to watch. I remember Ashanti being very open about singing JLo's songs, but wow is that laundry list long of who's sang for her. Also, the shady comments about amazing actresses, if Mariah ever said something like that she would never come back from that, and would get the boot from Hollywood circles. I think JLo believes the world was waiting for her and Ben to get back together, and it's honestly the last relationship rekindle anyone asked for or cares about.

This is a really interesting video made by a very talented youtuber, it's over two hours long and a comprehensive dive into the downfall of Jennifer Lopez. The reason I share it is because Mariah is mentioned quite a bit, and in this JLo debacle, after her album, movie and the documentary about making of the movie have tanked worse than even Mariah's own vanity project, Glitter, Mariah is portraid as somewhat a hero. Mariah was right about JLo all along.
While Mariah managed to bounce back in 2005 with one of the biggest comebacks in music history, because Mariah actually has talent, I just can't se how JLo will come back from this, it's career ending stuff happening now. Everything has been exposed the last few weeks, that she steals other people's music, dosen't sing her own songs, everything her being from the "block" is fake, she might be the most rude and mean celebrity there is, there's just no authenticity, and everything is out there now. It's really fascinating to experience.

Why everybody hates the girl we don't know (106,388)

She released an album called "This is me... now" that debuted at #38 on Billboard 200 then disappearing the next week. [Then] she releases an visual album, a film with the songs from the album, then a documentary called "The greatest love story never told" about the making of this film, but also about Ben Affleck and her love story. This was meant to be JLo's magnum opus, where she finally would get recognition for her artistry. This has backfired so badly, [because] the film and the documentary are so cringe and bad, that everything JLo has ever done in her career is now coming up to the surface. This is happening on TikTok mostly, so I haven't realized it [either] before I started to see YouTube videos about it.
This is the last post [about] this from me, but the reason I share this here, is [because] Mariah is very much a part of all [these] YouTube videos, [because] she was maybe the most vocal about this over 20 years ago. Even if we don't want to admit it, JLo is a much more relevant person in the cultural canon today, having hundreds of millions of followers on different social media platforms. Mariah was one of the people who tried to tell the world about this stuff 20 years ago, and is now [considered] a hero in all this. The "I don't know her" has [suddenly] got much more meaning.

I haven't really been paying attention to this, as much as she's not the best singer I always thought of her as an all rounder. I used to love her films and always thought she was down to earth. What's going on for all this to be happening? What have I missed?

Well, the [similarities] is that nobody [thought] Mariah would come back. Glitter tanking and Mariah being [bought] out of her contract was considered the nail in the coffin for Mariah's career back then. We only know today that it wasn't.
I think this is a certified last nail in the coffin for JLo's career, because all the stuff that is seeing the light of day is something you can't come back from. Us Lambs have always known this, but the general public hasn't. What is happening now is that the general public is getting to know [these] things, and when you understand that the artist you love doesn't even have their own vocals on their songs, much like Milli Vanilli, well, how can you as an artist defend that? It's impossible.

Although there are similarities, I don't think it is quite like Mariah's Glitter debacle. Mariah was still around her peak (tail end) and was only around 30 with a majority of her career ahead of her. JLo was at her lowest popularity/ commercial success point before this album. It's like a bad ending to her career since she said this was most likely her last album. A final nail on her coffin. I don't think anybody or even she herself are thinking about she should come back from this. I'm not a fan but not a hater. Whereas I didn't mind her being exposed (being a lamb) I hope she was at least pleased herself with her last project. 
I don't know why I feel like Mariah is poised/ gearing up for another favourable era. I'd be happy if she cracks the top 20 on the Hot100 again with her own material (with or without a guest but not as a feature herself).

Well it is hard not be catty when J.Lo is in involved. Her somewhat genuine career lasted right about that period, 1997-2001. Then she started stealing songs. Second rate "diva" who can't sustain.

Made for me (106,385)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Y'all know already that I over think things way too much. I just can't help it. Listening to snippet that JD shared got me thinking that he was eluding to that MC wrote new lyrics for the second verse. The first verse is the best verse of MFM. A new second verse from MC would take MFM to a different level for a remix. And what if the Soul Train Awards show gospel choir is apart of the remix too? Oh, it is going to be sweet to hear MC on the radio again since we last heard her on BBE. Just my two cents before it drops.

It's kinda cool and I love Mariah gets to join her on this song. And yes Muni also acknowledged that she wrote the song for Mariah, but Mariah insisted she record it for herself, since it was a career defining song and look at how that song has blown.

The MC x Ari tweet got me thinking what Mariah is up to. I don't know if she really found a partner to stream yet but I'm glad that there's still hope for TBL.

The insider who claimed Mariah was doing a remix with Ariana before it was announced (amongst other stuff about it that didn't materialize) had said a month ago that Mariah was working on another remix. Turned out to be the Muni Long one. Here are another couple of interesting things they are claiming:
1. The Audible BFL session is a prelude. She's managed a contract with a streaming giant for the rest of it finally. In another post they said Vevo is teaming up with a great female artist for a special series of performances.
2. Mariah x Ariana (again). Not sure whether it's for BFL or MC16 (if true).
I think we have some interesting times ahead - 2 of which are confirmed, the Muni Long remix and the Audible session. I am sure there's more to come.

by 123 from USA

I feel like she wrote it during the Stella era after the New Year's Eve fiasco. After that situation of being exposed and her vocal talent/ability being questioned I would have wanted to disappear as well. Most people don't know she writes but everyone knows she's famous because of her insane vocal ability. Once her use of pre records got exposed, most people figured it was over for her. I love that we are finally getting more details behind the writing of these songs. It's good to start with Portrait as it's from her most recent album. She's perceived of having everything anyone could ever want. Yet, with all her blessings, she is only human and has had her failures and dark periods in her life. Starting with this song will help humanize her and help spread the word that she is the pen behind the lyrics to all these great songs.

Met Gala (106,366)
by Bobby A from United States

|
|
I have never thought of MC as a Met Gala type of woman. It would be cool if she did attend more events like the Met Gala. I have always been curious about how Robert Dinero and MC became such good friends during the promotion of her movie Tennessee. Maybe her acting period in the late 2000s help her connect more with actors. When was her last major acting gig? The Butler?

Met Gala (106,363)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|
|
You are correct, not only did she never attend the Met Gala, she also never featured on the cover of Vogue. The latter surprises me more because even though Mariah hasn't consistently been a fashion trendsetter, she has been iconic in more ways than one and I've seen people with less accolades be on the cover multiple times. I would have imagined she would have been on the cover either during her 90s peak or her TEOM/Einstein era. As for the Met Gala, how attendance works is it's $75k per person ticket or you can book a whole table for $350k plus Anna needs to approve the guest. Mariah is usually smart with her money so maybe she never wanted to shell out so much? Also what frequently happens is the designer buys the whole table and picks celebs to go with them, so I'm surprised Donatella and D&G never took her since they're such good friends. Alaia and Karl too. Lastly I think Mariah might feel like the Met is too much pressure for her. She does often feel insecure of being photographed in an angle she can't control and the Met is the biggest red carpet of them all so she might not feel up to the pressure that comes with walking that carpet. She isn't the only A lister never to attend though - Britney, Brad, Angelina, Meryl Streep, Ryan Gosling, Jen Aniston etc also never attended. I always wanted to see her on the Met carpet really taking chances but honestly I've come to terms with her not attending especially with now it just including random people like instagrammers and TikTokers. I still hope to see her on Vogue and other major magazines like Forbes and Time.

Influence - Dem Teens (106,365)

"Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day." I don't think so. But they are lucky, they will never need to do a normal 9-5 job. They can be creative even if there will be no or less success. Maybe one day we will get a duet with Monroe and Mariah. That would be sweet.

Influence - Dem Teens (106,362)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada

Now that Dem Babies are officially Dem Teens (which blows my mind), I wonder if they'll have an influence on Mariah evolving her sound to a new youthful sound and experimental direction? Especially now that Monroe is showing an interest in [music] and hangs out with North West. Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day.
