About T from USA :

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.

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)

Mariah signed to RCA UK (98,904) by T from USA It does say on the RCA UK website as of 2021 that she signed with them and she is listed on the artist roster. Weird that she isn't listed on the USA website for RCA. (Wednesday 10 November 2021; 14:21)

Re: Mariah - new label (98,895) (98,897) by T from USA I don't think Mariah has a record label unfortunately. RCA is there because Khalid is signed to them and RCA Inspiration is Kirk's label. (Wednesday 10 November 2021; 02:00)

Re: Babyface (98,877) (98,886) by T from USA I wonder too. Especially since he was instrumental in the Whitney duet. As well as respected by many of Mariah's favorites. The only conclusion I can think of is Mariah is very controlling in her work and I've heard Babyface takes a strong reigns when he's in the studio (much like the Neptunes) so it's easier for him to work with artists like Toni Braxton who needs the heavy handed guidance. (Monday 8 November 2021; 14:58)

Mariah should have stayed with Roc Nation (98,859) by T from USA I am sincerely worried about her next few releases. Never mind a studio album, does she even have a record label? (Friday 5 November 2021; 23:28)

Re: Daniel Moore III (98,856) (98,857) by T from USA Portrait and In The Mix are the other two original compositions by Daniel Moore and Mariah. The songs are ok, including FILAC. But they are more adult music than hit music. There's just no pow. (Friday 5 November 2021; 21:42)

Music video fail? (98,854) by T from USA I know MC likes to be the star of her own videos and wow does she look stellar in this new one. However I'm wondering if for this particular song she could have released a creative video with real people who are actually in love or falling in love (at Christmas time). Then in December she hits us with the Joseph Khan directed performance for the Apple special. That way there would really be something for everyone. And as much of a good actress she is she does not display the feeling of falling in love in this video. (Friday 5 November 2021; 19:45)

Re: Daniel Moore III (98,846) (98,847) by T from USA I'm with you. So far I don't think Daniel has the x-factor. Competent musician but no hit factor. I would have liked to hear her version of Where Are You Christmas this season. Oh well. It's too bad she cannot reconnected with Walter A. Even just for Christmas time. (Friday 5 November 2021; 16:08)

FILAC (98,843) by T from USA It sounds [like] a Christmas song Mariah would have made after Butterfly in 1997. It doesn't totally sound Christmasy. I wonder if this was just a love song for her upcoming album that she loved so much she decided to give it the Christmas treatment by changing some words to fit the festive theme? Would make sense as her Christmas stuff will get more attention than anything else these days. Especially if she really wanted the world to hear it instead of it getting lost on a non holiday album down the line. I like the video but it's funny how her most comfortable looking scenes are the ones with her in the recording booth. That always has been her most comfortable place in life. (Friday 5 November 2021; 13:33)

Re: Facebook post of "The Distance" lyric video (98,829) (98,830) by T from USA Can you ask her if she will consider Dallas Austin and Walter Afanasieff? Also Drake as a feature. Would love it. (Thursday 4 November 2021; 01:34)

Go easy on Mariah (98,765) by T from USA After reading her memoirs and now hearing Easy On Me I realize just how much the song fits Mariahs story too. She was just a child. A song like this after the breakdown, maybe the first single on Charmbracelet would have killed. It asks for forgiveness while still explaining her point of view. Good song. (Would have even worked on Butterfly or Rainbow.) (Sunday 17 October 2021; 13:40)

Re: Easy on me (98,763) (98,764) by T from USA If Mariah still had the 1990-2000 voice or even the 2005 return of the voice sound in her chords than a power ballad would do something good for Mariah. But a whispered With You type ballad won't cut it. Something like Easy On Me which asks forgiveness may not burn up the top 40 charts for Mimi but it would still find an audience and move album units. I would love to hear her and Walter Afanasieff after all these years create a timeless classical piece. (Sunday 17 October 2021; 13:31)

Re: And isn't ironic, don't you think? (98,753) (98,757) by T from USA I agree. Why I worry Mariah has lost the plot is because in the old days she would have never put a Cannon inspired diss track side by side with her greatest accomplishments. Who heard that track and approved it? Who even thought it was good? She literally could have put All I Live For or Out Here On My Own in its place and it would have been 100x the quality of Infinity. (Sunday 17 October 2021; 02:34)

Mariah a Christmas act (98,739) by T from USA Is anyone else slightly concerned that the younger generation of music consumers are only going to perceive Mariah to be a Christmas act? I can imagine the marketing behind this special will be as big as last years, and since 2019 it seems that she's really only visible music wise at Christmas time. An album like Caution didn't even get the attention it so deserved, maybe people really only check for her after Thanksgiving. (Friday 15 October 2021; 04:41)

The only Mariah message board that matters (98,698) by T from USA Hi all, I just wanted to say I appreciate this board so much and the webmaster for doing an amazing job. I've posted on other boards in the past but none quite have the same love and devotion as Mariah Archives. I will only be exclusively posting and being on this board from here on out. It's our one stop Mariah shop. (Monday 4 October 2021; 15:21)

Re: Any news on VMAS? (98,593) (98,594) by T from USA It was just a rumour and already was debunked as false. (Friday 10 September 2021; 17:20)

Re: MC's sexiest album cover (98,470) (98,471) by T from USA The Emancipation Of Mimi. Confidence is sexy. (Saturday 31 July 2021; 04:50)

Virgin/Capital records (98,463) by T from USA I'm excited at the prospect of Mariah joining back up with Virgin. I thought Sony was the return home, but no, it's Virgin. Capital records will look good on her. (Friday 30 July 2021; 05:05)

Isn't it ironic (98,401) by T from USA Isn't it ironic isn't just an Alanis Morissette song. It's the way I view Mariah escaping a potentially career ending, controlling situation with Tommy to only end up with Stella, who one could surmise was more controlling (keeping possession of Mariah's phone so LA Reid couldn't get ahold of her). Stella came this close to ending Mariah's career for good. (Tuesday 20 July 2021; 13:21)

Re: Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,368) (98,380) by T from USA That's what I mean, yes the stress could make you loose your voice (see Shania) but Mariah's was more of a damaged quality thing, drugs and alcohol wouldn't have done that so fast after his control was up. (Actually his control lasted up until [Butterfly].) It happened specifically between [Daydream] and [Butterfly]. The only thing she did in between those two was a rock album where she was seriously lashing out with her voice, to keep her sanity. We don't know how much she pushed her voice in the making of that. Maybe that is the reason she will never ever release it. (Sunday 18 July 2021; 01:10)
