About Zachariah from Croatia:

Mariah in Brazil (111,190) by Zachariah from Croatia Ugh, sorry to hear that. Was it really that bad? So strange that she has these fluctuations while performing. I know her motto in this era is to do whatever she wants and "do" her, but I think this in not the right way. (Monday 15 September 2025; 09:29) this is a reply to message 111,184

Mariah in Brazil (111,184) by Pedro from Brazil Yes, the look was great, but the concert was terrible. Nobody enjoyed it, and people thought it was awful how she didn't interact with the audience, kept staring at the monitors, and left the stage multiple times for long outfit changes. She barely sang, didn't even try to move around the stage, and now she's been getting a lot of backlash from both the media and fans, many of whom left halfway through the show. I just can't understand this lack of energy in her concerts lately. It feels like she doesn't even want to be there. I don't remember any Mariah concert ever being this bad before. Everyone in Brazil was disappointed. (Monday 15 September 2025; 00:10)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,171) by Zachariah from Croatia I agree with every word. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 23:59) this is a reply to message 111,166

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,166) by Giovanni from USA I love your profile pic, I love the Butterfly album and era. Mariah looked her best during that era. I would say she sounded her best but some will disagree and that's okay. I miss her Butterfly voice so much I wish she had recorded another album that year haha. Something about her tone and the rasp in her voice especially in "Honey" was so sexy and angelic at the same time. I'm sure even Mariah wishes she could have her Butterfly voice back.

Thank God I found you (111,123) by Zachariah from Croatia Song is over produced and the mix of the vocals is overwhelming. It is [too] much. The remix was much better. (Friday 12 September 2025; 08:11) this is a reply to message 111,118

Thank God I found you (111,118) by Giovanni from USA I love TGIFY, it's actually one of my favorites from Rainbow. 98 Degrees did their thing but I would have left Joe as he does nothing for the song. I can understand why some may not like it or call it unforgettable but the song was a hit so it is what it is. (Friday 12 September 2025; 01:28)

Glitterversary (111,104) by Zachariah from Croatia Happy Glitterversary everyone. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 09:36)

Golden ensemble and boots (111,086) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she looked great. Boots and jumpsuit were epic. Everything was on point. She is doing her, as she said. If she doesn't want to walk like a maniac all over the stage, like Beyonce, then she will not do it. (Wednesday 10 September 2025; 08:54) this is a reply to message 111,082

Golden ensemble and boots (111,082) by Lambi from USA To be honest, I liked the short jumpsuit, because I hated the leotard moments from 2017. But I will say this VMA jumpsuit is a little too short. The right length was one she wore at Brighton Pride, purple and blue gradient ensemble. Though, I'm happy no one is roasting her like when Madonna wears something outrageous because Mariah actually looks good. The "give it up" commentaries are nowhere to be found. (Wednesday 10 September 2025; 00:40)

VMA medley (111,012) by Zachariah from Croatia Yeah, and most of it was live, which I am very happy about. (Monday 8 September 2025; 10:29) this is a reply to message 111,008

VMA medley (111,008) by Lara from Middle East I loved it. How she blended the songs together. I'm sure most of the audience (who are not familiar with her repertoire) wouldn't noticed she sings the song on the background music of another one. I love that the priority was given to the musical performance. They had some elements of her videos but as usual Mariah is very slow on stage. I don't mind that, since she gave a solid performance, my issue is that she keeps wearing outfits you expect some dancing and movements in them. I wished she would switch to something more casual. I don't know how the general public will like her performance since nowadays it's less about the music and more about the energy and movement . Personally, I'm happy with it.

Winner (111,000) by Tameka walker from United states Congratulations to Mariah for her [MTV VMA] win, congratulations again. Your loving lambly. (Monday 8 September 2025; 01:39)

Daydream (110,959) by Zachariah from Croatia "Forever" live from Madison SG was my obsession when I was a teen and still is today. I really love the fluidity of that song and how she sang is so effortlessly. (Friday 5 September 2025; 14:57) this is a reply to message 110,957

Daydream (110,957) by Lambi from USA Interesting take. I would let Open Arms stay. It's simply well done. Mariah tastefully made it hers without veering off too far away from the original melody. Long Ago and Daydream Interlude can go though and I'd swap them with One Night and Slipping Away. They would've gone well with all the mid-tempos. Slipping Away is truly that song that was unjustly scrapped. One Night has the most beautiful intro. She exuded Stevie Wonder's influence on this record. It's just straight up fire. A perfect ode to your baby sisters and nieces. I also feel like she had Alison in mind when she wrote it. She honestly kind of over recorded in Daydream and truly mastered the art of album making, because even the scrapped tracks are phenomenal. When the hell do "throwaways" sound this freaking great? Daydream Mariah was simply a cut above everyone. She is God's favorite. (Friday 5 September 2025; 12:30)

VMAs wish list (110,897) by Zachariah from Croatia I would love to hear a mashup of It's Like That and Type Dangerous. The rest: Someday Dreamlover Fantasy My All Heartbreaker Loverboy Boy (I Need You) Shake It Off A No No (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 20:45) this is a reply to message 110,895

VMAs wish list (110,895) by Shezz from Pk With just a few days left for the VMAs Vanguard performance, what songs does everybody think should be on her performance list to best set her up for the HFIA era? I suppose Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet will definitely be there, what else should she use to fill up the 10 minute slot? (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 17:57)

Year end record? (110,884) by Zachariah from Croatia Hahaha. (Monday 1 September 2025; 19:20) this is a reply to message 110,863

Year end record? (110,863) by Bobby A from United States I have noticed that too. It's like we all knew 2025 would be the start of a new era. Bill, Dove, Lighty from China and Libra Lamb are back. We welcomed this year Giovanni, Lambi, and Baby from Dreamville. T is posting more this year. Randy came out of hibernation. Stacey makes me laugh. Terna and Shezz are great analysts. Mimi is our Tamron Hall with her great insight and commentary. Zachariah is my best friend now. Edward looks for my Saturday post to refute my claims. Lol. I don't want the number #1 slot at the end of the year. I want another board member to be #1. We are all family in the land of Mariah Carey. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 19:13)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,798) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed. What is going to be her next move? Call me crazy but I feel like these past two months are so long like two years. (Friday 29 August 2025; 09:01) this is a reply to message 110,795

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,795) by Bobby A from United States Okay, you got me again, Edward. I do think Sugar Sweet didn't have an official impact date, but just made it onto some radio stations playlist somehow. You're so right about no video being a smart business decision.

What's wrong with MC (110,683) by Zachariah from Croatia You are onto something. I feel the same. She looks great, finally has a team who is working behind the scenes but she is sending vibes "please, leave me alone and let me be home in my pyjamas".

What's wrong with MC (110,682) by LambyMP from Usa I can't help but think something is wrong with M. It's written on her face. She's acting so different. Still loving the new era. But somehow I feel like we are loving it more than she is. Am I wrong? (Sunday 24 August 2025; 09:00)

Video Vanguard (110,659) by Zachariah from Croatia I can actually see her doing that. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 10:29) this is a reply to message 110,654

Video Vanguard (110,654) by Lambi from USA Yup. Mariah literally sashayed into the Gamma board meeting, tossed her hair, and said this verbatim: "Can we have an MTV Video Music Award moment and a Grammy moment? Oh, and a Brazilian lambily moment? Maybe another TikTok viral moment? Please thank you darlings." (Saturday 23 August 2025; 02:43)

Here For It All snippet (110,527) by Zachariah from Croatia I am hearing a bit of "I Only Wanted" from Charmbracelet and "I Am Free" from Daydream. (Saturday 16 August 2025; 12:52) this is a reply to message 110,526

Here For It All snippet (110,526) by Bobby A from United States Terna, can you help me understand chord progression? You said Here For It All is very Mariahesque in melody and chord progression. AI said MC's chord progressions have a modal mixture departing from the core chords of the song's key to borrow chords from parallel mode. What does all of that mean? Can you give me one MC ballad from each her albums that has a similar chord progression to help me understand? I listened to the snippet with headphones and it is not bad at all. It reminds of MC's vocals on Heavenly (Can't Give Up Now). I think multiple radio formats would play Here For It All because it's a piano ballad similar in the vein of Adele's Easy On Me.

Do you all think? (110,507) by Zachariah from Croatia She can sing. She proved that in UK recently. (Friday 15 August 2025; 13:48) this is a reply to message 110,505

Do you all think? (110,505) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with everything you've written. Hundred thumbs up for "tired of the 'diva' persona, the chest always out, talking about lighting and such, and want her to do what she does (or used to do) best, which is sing. There lies the problem. She just can't sing anymore. She could get away with playing the ditzy diva role with no problem 'if' she still had the chops/voice." I also hope the new album will surprise us. I'm really excited for the songs with the Clark Sisters (they could bring the soul back) and the Paul McCartney cover. (Friday 15 August 2025; 11:29)

Taylor Swift (110,482) by Zachariah from Croatia I am hoping for the same. I think Sugar Sweet was something like GTFO from Caution - just a teaser single but then again, GTFO had a video. And a good one. At least visually. I just can't connect to it knowing that there are two more artists on in that I never heard of. I really wish I could work in an environment such as gamma to see who decides these things and release or not release singles and videos on time or after. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 10:55) this is a reply to message 110,478

Taylor Swift (110,478) by Tevin from USA I still believe Mariah has and will have one more big hit in her. Maybe not a number one, but definitely a top ten song. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 05:48)

Taylor Swift (110,454) by Zachariah from Croatia How I wish that chart-showdown we're fantasizing about would actually happen just so that we can shut your mouth. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 08:32) this is a reply to message 110,441

Taylor Swift (110,441) by Edward from USA Bobby A, sometimes I think you live in an alternate universe. Mariah isn't competing with anyone with "Here For It All". She's a legacy artist now, her last 11-track album came out nearly a decade ago. It's more like when Streisand or other legacy artists release something: their core fans eat it up, but that's about it. Back in the '90s, when Mariah and Whitney were killing it, did you really think any legacy artist from that time could compete with them? Exactly. So let's not pretend we're still in that era where a new Mariah release is a head-to-head chart battle. This is a completely different stage of her career. Here's what will likely happen: the album drops, us Lambs grab it immediately, and within three or four weeks, it's gone from the Billboard Top 100 albums. Mariah's waited too long, and outside of us devoted fans, most people have moved on. That's not pessimism, just a dose of realism. Which is why I'm hoping it's a great album, one that earns solid reviews and a few well-deserved accolades. In short, that chart-showdown you're fantasizing about? It's not going to happen.
