About Zachariah from Croatia:

MusicCares (113,139) by Zachariah from Croatia That is the problem, there are no bigger singers that have a respectful status to give a tribute to her. There isn't that wow effect when you see a star on a stage like back in 90's, when social media were not existent. Now, you can see them everywhere - on Twitter, Tik Tok, Insta, whatever. They are accessible. They should never do a Mariah tribute again because except of Kesha's performance, I didn't enjoy others. I think Mariah liked her interpretation of the song and the fact she knew what she went through, she was pleased. Others - it was fail for me.

MusicCares (113,130) by Giovanni from USA I'm sorry but I was not impressed with that tribute. It was all a big disappointment and a slap in the face to Mariah she deserved better. Where was Kelly Clarkson, Ariana, Bruno Mars, Yolanda Adams, Usher, Beyonce even Patti Labelle? I did surprisingly enjoy Kesha and Charlie Puth's performance. Billy Porter was awful and I don't think ABMB was appropriate for him. He was also giving me Whitney Houston in drag with that hair. If you're give a tribute to a legend like Mariah get some better singers. (Monday 2 February 2026; 08:47)

MusicCares performances (113,113) by Zachariah from Croatia Kesha has a new respect from me. (Saturday 31 January 2026; 23:26) this is a reply to message 113,107

MusicCares performances (113,107) by Bobby A from United States I thought every artist did a spectactular rendition of MC's songs. The only rendition that I did not particularly like was Maggie Rogers' soulful version of Honey. She made Honey too soulful for me. She stripped the melody down way too much that I could not understand what she saying. I give her performance a 4 out of 10. (Saturday 31 January 2026; 10:14)

Billboard speech (113,099) by Zachariah from Croatia She looked so youthful. Wow. And yes, very focused. I loved it. (Thursday 29 January 2026; 12:11) this is a reply to message 113,098

Billboard speech (113,098) by Lara from Middle East I loved it. It was focused, she wasn't rambling and going in a tangent. She looked fabulous. The only weird thing is she was reading from a paper instead of having a teleprompter. (Thursday 29 January 2026; 09:13)

I won't allow it (113,089) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed. Great vibe. Especially for the Spring. (Monday 26 January 2026; 14:35) this is a reply to message 113,086

I won't allow it (113,086) by Lainsky from Philippines One of my favorite tracks from HFIA. I couldn't agree more. This could or should be a single. (Monday 26 January 2026; 08:06)

Deep cut (113,020) by Zachariah from Croatia Oh, ok, thanks. Well, there is plenty of them. My favorite ones: "Where Are You Christmas" would be one. Sure, she didn't release it but she co-wrote it so maybe, one day. "Heat" is another one.

Deep cut (113,019) by Lighty from China Songs non-fans don't know. (Thursday 15 January 2026; 13:01)

Deep cut (113,018) by Zachariah from Croatia I guess I have to be the dumb one but what does deep cut exactly means? Sorry if the question is stupid but I don't understand and don't want to be left out. (Thursday 15 January 2026; 10:53)

Great news (112,931) by Zachariah from Croatia Wow, that sounds epic. Wish you all the best. Don't forget us from Europe. (Monday 5 January 2026; 15:28) this is a reply to message 112,924

Great news (112,924) by Lambi from USA Last October, I stopped by Gamma Headquarters in LA in search of work and was fortunate enough to make a somewhat direct link towards Mariah's team. Long story short, I've recently been brought on in a new capacity. Of course, for contractual reasons, I'm not able to share in-depth behind the scenes. What I can say is that I'll now be part of a new, real-life Mariah community, which likely means stepping away from this board, not for good but at least for a very long while. It's truly been a wonderful experience here. Dove, Giovanni, Mimi L, MusicFanJ, Terna, Lainsky, Randy, Joachim, Lara, Rashidi, and TJ, I've loved reading your stories, ideas, and reviews. I'm hopeful I'll continue to work my way closer to MC, and I'll absolutely try to relay your ideas and perspectives. Thank you to MCArchives for all the festivity and warmth during my short time here. God bless, and I'm so grateful to have shared my love for Mariah with all of you. I wish you all nothing but the very best, darlings. (Monday 5 January 2026; 05:41)

Article: Mariah thrills at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2026 (112,853) by Zachariah from Croatia She slayed. (Thursday 1 January 2026; 15:06)

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,808) by Zachariah from Croatia I still love that song very much. Classic Mariah. (Tuesday 30 December 2025; 13:55) this is a reply to message 112,805

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,805) by Bobby A from United States 100% did end up the AT&T Team USA soundtrack for the 2010 Winter Olympics as track number 8. The album was only released on iTunes. (Tuesday 30 December 2025; 12:38)

Merry Christmas from Croatia (112,780) by Zachariah from Croatia Wish all of you all the best and then some. (Friday 26 December 2025; 21:25)

IYF vs NII (112,753) by Zachariah from Croatia NII for sure. It would be perfect for the Olympics. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 19:11) this is a reply to message 112,749

IYF vs NII (112,749) by T from USA Which one would everyone like to see properly promoted, performance, music video? If there is only budget for one? By the way, there was never a Bruno Mars duet in the works and definitely not now that her and Anderson are not together. And with the prospect of NII being promoted next, there may not be any more plans for IYF. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 15:55)

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 (112,716) by Zachariah from Croatia It was a joke, Eric the Webmaster. I always tease my friends that she has the biggest hit because the year ends with it. (Wednesday 17 December 2025; 07:48) this is a reply to message 112,709

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 (112,709) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Why do you spread false information? A simple Google search tells you that the "biggest hit" varies by metric (sales, streams, longevity), but recent massive hits over the last 7 years (2018-2024) include Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and "Perfect", The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights", The Chainsmokers' "Closer", Luis Fonsi's "Despacito", Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road", and Miley Cyrus's "Flowers".

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 (112,708) by Zachariah from Croatia So proud to be her fan and the fact that she has the biggest hit of the year for the last 7 years. (Tuesday 16 December 2025; 08:56)

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,683) by Zachariah from Croatia That's exactly my idea few weeks ago. (Sunday 14 December 2025; 17:20) this is a reply to message 112,677

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,677) by Dove from United States Yes. I love this idea. (Sunday 14 December 2025; 05:44)

Would you rather? (112,625) by Zachariah from Croatia I tried to like her and her music - I just can't. I tried. But I can't. I can't relate, I don't like the sound and I just don't get it. (Monday 8 December 2025; 07:34) this is a reply to message 112,617

Would you rather? (112,617) by Dove from United States I became a fan of Taylor when she was on a show on MTV. She was young, probably 15. I don't remember the show but she was going to the prom with a regular guy, as like, a prize. She was so sweet and humble. I immediately liked her and looked her up. I had already heard some of her songs on the radio but after that I started buying her albums and going to her shows. She seemed like a sweet girl who I would be friends with. I like how her songs were about things a girl her age would actually be going through and as she grew up her songs evolved with her. I didn't love her latest album at first listen but it has grown on me and now I love it. I really like the song Father Figure. About the record question: I would choose the option Edward said. At first I was going for the other option but his argument changed my mind. (Sunday 7 December 2025; 01:22)

Discography (112,594) by Zachariah from Croatia Just wondering - when will her discography on this page be updated? I noticed that few albums are missing such as Rarities and HFIA. I hope everyone is fine and surviving this demanding time of year. (Thursday 4 December 2025; 15:48)

Order from Temu (112,522) by Zachariah from Croatia Muni's shade looks like it was ordered from Temu. Girl, bye. (Wednesday 26 November 2025; 08:59)

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,471) by Zachariah from Croatia I noticed that as well and said to myself, where is she these days?Either she is cooking something or else. Caution was a good album but HFIA is better but again, wrong singles (Play This Song ) with a boring video and Sugar Sweet (without a video) messed up everything. I don't wanna see of hear In Your Feeling as a next single with Bruno Mars on it. Enough with duets. I want Nothing Is Impossible with an amazing video right before Christmas. Or, she should just go crazy and release a grunge album with her as Bianca. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 18:12) this is a reply to message 112,468

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,468) by Bobby A from United States You know it is funny that MC has been really quiet on social media since her "It's Time" video. Her Las Vegas Christmas shows begin November 28 and she has not promoted it at all. And it was reported across multiple social media websites and ABC news that she is worried that AIWFCiY may underperform this year. Do you think MC is feeling the effects of HFIA's lukewarm sales and chart performance? Caution and its singles were still on everyone's mind for at least 6 months after the album's release. I am sure Gamma has already formally reduced MC's contract payout to get back the label's negative overhead cost for HFIA's low sales numbers. A seven year absence and the wrong choice of producers may be what caused HFIA's lukewarm sales reception. Could AiWFCIY's popularity lose its hold after this year?

A little life update (112,457) by Zachariah from Croatia Congratulations. God bless. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 22:54) this is a reply to message 112,447

A little life update (112,447) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wanted to share some good news with my little MCA family, it's also the reason I've been MIA mostly the past few months. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, a little baby girl. You best believe she will be introduced to Mariah really early on so we will have a baby lamb joining the lambily soon. Who knows down the line Eric may have a new member join this board haha. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Promise I won't be influenced by Nick Cannon's baby names.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,382) by Zachariah from Croatia Every single album except HFIA as a cassette and as a cd in three copies - one was for my old car (new cars don't have a cd player anymore so I didn't bought the third copy), one for my holiday house on the Croatian coast and one at home playing on a cd player that I had to buy as well since the old one stopped working. Posters signed by her are numerous. (Thursday 13 November 2025; 18:40) this is a reply to message 112,381

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,381) by TJ from Norway I just wonder if she will ever release that demo? That is something I really would love to add to my collection. It's on the shelf collecting dust, but it's mine. I could never get rid of that collection, but I don't play cds that much because the cd player is not in the living room, and I really need a new sound system at home. How about you guys? Do you still have a physical collection? Maybe you never had a collection at all? (Thursday 13 November 2025; 16:06)

HFIA review (112,366) by Zachariah from Croatia Such a great song, my favorite from the album. I would love a video for it. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 11:22) this is a reply to message 112,357

HFIA review (112,357) by Lambi from USA Nothing Is Impossible is melodically amazing, definitely something that will stand out in the Adult Contemporary arena today. People still love ballads. The only thing that I felt missed the mark is her vocal cords sounding a bit dry during the belting of the climax. I do know meds heavily dry out the voice so I should just be grateful she took the time to write such a beautiful song. The reverse of it though, is her lower register sounding hauntingly gorgeous and hitting the spot completely, perfect key choice, it truly is where the song is at emotionally.

It's coming (112,362) by Zachariah from Croatia Wow, already at #31? That is great news. Record will be broken this year for sure. (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 06:32) this is a reply to message 112,346

It's coming (112,346) by Edward from USA It's official, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has re-entered the Billbaord Hot 100 at #31. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 20:18)

Dress (112,298) by Zachariah from Croatia Of course it was her dress. Everybody knows that since that year. How did we even come to this topic? I read only sporadically few posts and some of you went of the rails for sure. I can't wait for Christmas time and just enjoying the music. (Friday 7 November 2025; 19:58) this is a reply to message 112,293

Dress (112,293) by Lighty from China Of course it was Mariah's. (Friday 7 November 2025; 03:13)

3 albums (112,164) by Zachariah from Croatia Glitter - it just has to be there because if it was released in 2015, it would be a banger. Butterfly - hello, it's Butterfly. Caution - perfect vibe and production. (Friday 31 October 2025; 12:39) this is a reply to message 112,155

3 albums (112,155) by TJ from Norway Let's say that for some reason everyone on earth forgot all of MCs albums except 3 of them. Which 3 albums from her catalogue would you keep for everyone to enjoy? And why? (Friday 31 October 2025; 06:40)
