About Jamie from UK: Mariah fan since 1990, favourite album is Music Box, Favourite song is Can't Let Go.

In Your Feelings (111,785) by Jamie from UK Why does it need saving? The album is fantastic, a mature body of work that we have been waiting for, for a long time. Good quality songs that touch the heart. Who exactly does the era need saving from? From what I've read on here most fans are happy and are enjoying the music. Isn't that what it's about? Like many have said to chart top 10 after 35 years is amazing. Nothing needs saving in my eyes. Thank you Mariah for giving us this gem.

In Your Feelings (111,777) by T from USA I think IYF is the only shot she could have at saving this era with a song. But it needs a duet, it needs Bruno Mars. It's the only song on the album that is fresh in a way that it doesn't sound exactly like something she's done before but it at the same time it slightly harkens back to her glory 2005 days. The diamonds throughout the album artwork is cool, she's a rich bitch and she knows it. (Thursday 9 October 2025; 17:20)

Dallas Austin (111,765) by Jamie from UK Could just be Mariah doesn't like his work or him. I'm sure if she had wanted too she would have. Or it could be that they both had other commitments. (Wednesday 8 October 2025; 09:19) this is a reply to message 111,748

Dallas Austin (111,748) by T from USA I would've loved a twelfth track produced and co-written by Atlanta's best Dallas Austin. I wonder why Mariah has never worked with him. He has a long history with LA Reid and is good friends with JD. Strange they never sent Mariah his way. (Tuesday 7 October 2025; 02:38)

Article: Mariah Carey debuts in Billboard's top 10 (111,753) by Jamie from UK Very valid point there Bill, 7 is fantastic considering no hit single. I love this album, at this point in her career the music rather than the charts is more important. (Tuesday 7 October 2025; 11:19) this is a reply to message 111,752

Article: Mariah Carey debuts in Billboard's top 10 (111,752) by Bill from the UK So Mariah, and nobody else for that matter, is not going to sell 10 million copies of an album in 2025. With these "pathetic" numbers she charted at number 7 on the Billboard 200. The album was also not proceeded by any sort of hit single (let's be real here), so to my mind it's done pretty well. I don't see any other legacy artists from her prime time doing similar numbers or, indeed, still putting out new music. Remember Janet Jackson? Whatever happened to her? 10 years since her last album. (Tuesday 7 October 2025; 10:24)

HFIA sales etc (111,724) by Jamie from UK Exactly this. (Sunday 5 October 2025; 14:51) this is a reply to message 111,722

HFIA sales etc (111,722) by TheWind from England HFIA is Mariah's best album in years. I never expected her to chart like she did in the 90s, and I think people should lay off the blame game. Mariah has locked in and worked her ass off. She produced a cohesive album, a mature and excellently produced album. Blame Mariah, blame gamma, blame the industry. Do whatever you want, but I'm gonna stay over here and enjoy the best music she has produced in years. I'm proud of Mariah and whether she charts at 1, 4 or 7, that won't change. We know she has done something special, and should basque in that. (Sunday 5 October 2025; 10:55)

UK charts (111,701) by Jamie from UK Mariah has charted at number 31 on the official UK album chart. She charted at number 1 on the RnB chart though. I still wish they would have released an actual single for both SS and PTS. If you go on Wikipedia there is a cover for PTS on the singles information. I'm still loving the album and can't stop listening too it, shame it didn't chart higher here but it doesn't take away the fact that it's a great album. (Saturday 4 October 2025; 10:23)

Meanings of songs (111,638) by Jamie from UK Do we know which songs are about Taneka? Do we really know the true meaning of their split? I've read some articles about it being about wanting kids. Also I read an article in NY Times about him just costing Mariah too much as he wasn't bringing anything to the table. Some of the lyrics "bouncing off the walls", "withdrawals" lean more towards drug use, is this about him or Nick? (Wednesday 1 October 2025; 09:05)

Sugar Sweet Solo Version (111,637) by Jamie from UK Finally I got round to downloading my Mariah Shop version of HFIA with SW solo version on, mainly due to the fact my laptop I never use is slower than a snail. Wow much better with the Mariah second verse. This should have been the single for sure. I can’t stop listening to the album. (Wednesday 1 October 2025; 08:18)

Play That Song (111,624) by Jamie from UK I wish they would release an actual digital single download of Play That Song with a B-side and some remixes. Doesn't seem like the last two singles have actually been singles as no separate digital download. I guess it's to draw more people to the album. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 16:42)

Hey Gamma (111,623) by Jamie from UK Oh I thought it was a great balance between that and HFIA. It's just great to see her so relaxed and involved on the Jimmy Fallon interview. She looks great, she's confident, she's very much present and she's coming across fantastically. It's not the usual questions so I'm definitely here for it. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 16:27) this is a reply to message 111,621

Hey Gamma (111,621) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Can you please make sure Mariah is talking about Here For It All the album that mad us wait for 7 years, and not talking about that grunge album that is not officially released and does not need airtime during her interviews. All I see on social media is her snippets talking about that grunge album on Jimmy Fallon and other interviews and not Here For It All. Let's focus on Here For It All and have it shine, that grunge album can have its spotlights when it's time to release. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 14:23)

Lamb emergency (111,617) by Jamie from UK She sounds immense. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 12:44) this is a reply to message 111,608

Lamb emergency (111,608) by Tevin from USA Everyone this is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill. Mariah is singing live again and sounding amazing. Here's the link to her Fallon performance tonight. She sounds great. (Tuesday 30 September 2025; 07:05)

Connection (111,598) by Jamie from UK I really feel like I've reconnected with Mariah with this album. The artistry in this album reminds me of who I fell in love with all those years ago. (Monday 29 September 2025; 11:54)

My Love (111,588) by Jamie from UK I have to agree Bill. I've just landed into Orlando and was listening to the album on my break, My Love is beautiful and the vocals too, I love your feelings too, the vocals are not as strong in the part when she says "picture" but otherwise I love it. She must have recorded different songs over a long period. I'm really loving the album vibe, it's very early Mariah and I also didn't think we would hear this sound again from her again. I would love another project with a similar vibe too, it has a [Music Box] and Daydream feel to it. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 22:46) this is a reply to message 111,575

My Love (111,575) by Bill from the UK I must have played My Love about 20 times yesterday. There was a certain magic about Mariah's early remakes - I'll Be There, Without You, Open Arms, the recently unearthed My Prayer - I didn't think that would be present or captured ever again, as it seemed to disappear over time. But wow, this has got to be one of her best ever. It's sung so beautifully, and the music, the background vocals, I can't believe something so wonderful is here at my disposal to enjoy whenever I want. If this is her last ever remake she does, she ended on an amazing high with this. I bet Paul is so proud and pleased with her interpretation. First class Mariah, I love you. (Sunday 28 September 2025; 10:09)

HFIA (111,562) by Jamie from UK Yes I'm loving it, this is Mariah, I just wish she hadn't waited so long to record songs like this again. The songs are quality, I'm used to the new vocals now but imagine these songs with Daydream locals. My Love I feel the vocals are most strongest on that song. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 19:02) this is a reply to message 111,559

HFIA (111,559) by ADAM from USA This is making me teary eyed now that you said that - HFIA is a mashup of The Wind, Looking In, Outside, Portrait, and something fresh. This is her last full album, I suspect she's fighting a private medical issue that she's keeping close to the vest. I think she's a real class act creating this masterpiece of a final album for her fans and children to keep. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 17:46)

Head scratcher (111,545) by Jamie from UK I feel the same. I don't even feel they match the rest of the album. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 11:49) this is a reply to message 111,541

Head scratcher (111,541) by Bill from the UK I don't understand why Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet were chosen to launch the album when you had compositions like In Your Feelings, Nothing Is Impossible, and I Won't Allow It that are so much better, different to any other launch she's done before, and better represent the album's sound. It's to the point they sound somewhat out of place and I find myself skipping them so I stay in that 70s lane. I can't stop playing this album, it's so good. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 10:14)

Here For It Is (111,521) by Jamie from UK Probably her breakdown in 2001. (Friday 26 September 2025; 19:00) this is a reply to message 111,513

Here For It Is (111,513) by Nicole from US I love the album but the deep lyrics make me worry. What gruesome fall did she survive? And that lyric "Laugh through the tears till I'm gone" made me cry? Something seemed to have happened without us knowing and I'm so happy that she's still around with us. (Friday 26 September 2025; 15:52)

iTunes (111,508) by Jamie from UK She's number one here. (Friday 26 September 2025; 14:42) this is a reply to message 111,505

iTunes (111,505) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to Kworb, Mariah's new album is at number 1 in Brazil, Denmark, India, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, and South-Africa. In the USA, she's at number 3 and in the UK at number 4. (Friday 26 September 2025; 12:58)

iTunes UK (111,504) by Jamie from UK Mariah is sitting at number 1 on UK iTunes. (Friday 26 September 2025; 12:46)

Article: Album review: Mariah Carey is Here For It All (111,495) by Jamie from UK I like Heavenly too. (Friday 26 September 2025; 09:47) this is a reply to message 111,479

Article: Album review: Mariah Carey is Here For It All (111,479) by Dove from United States Heavenly is one of my favorite songs. Ha ha ha. Beauty is in the ear of the listener. (Friday 26 September 2025; 03:12)

Love It (111,493) by Jamie from UK The album is great on first listen, feels like old Mariah at times. My only wish was that she had done more of these type of songs on previous later albums with her stronger voice as this is Mariah. (Friday 26 September 2025; 09:26)

Sugar Sweet Solo Version (111,469) by Jamie from UK I've just bought the digital deluxe version on MC Store to get the Sugar Sweet Solo Version. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 20:42)

Article: Album review: Mariah Carey is Here For It All (111,442) by Jamie from UK Ouch that's not a great review for Mariah. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 10:45)

CBS Gale interview (111,441) by Jamie from UK I just watched the interview but I skipped through the snippets. Nice to see the humour still there and her vulnerability. I just feel the light heartedness isn’t there she’s clearly very medicated. But if that’s what she needs to function then that’s cool. It was great to see her open up a bit more though and not talk about the same old things. I'm really excited for tomorrow. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 10:09) this is a reply to message 111,432

CBS Gale interview (111,432) by Mara from United States That is how you interview the likes and talent of Mariah Carey. What a beautiful interview with reaching into Maria[h] and getting her to speak for the first time about her grief and her loss and just talking about her mom, and even the fact that she brought up that she was at her bedside and with her. I'm so glad that she heard the words she needed to hear to heal. It was also so special to hear her speak of Alison as her sister in that way. I'm sure she had and continues to have so many different emotions going on. Here For It All sounds like one of her best albums, and I am so excited just like the old me in the 90s as a teenager when she would release her albums in the fall and they always coincided with something I was going through. This album doesn't shy away from the same feeling "Nothing Is Impossible" sounds like one of the most beautiful melodies and lyrics. I think I've ever heard just from that clip alone I am so excited for this album let alone the "My Love" cover. I can't wait to hear that. I hope she takes it in a different direction than "One More Try" and it's not as overproduced with too much going on. I'm just so excited. I can't believe we're going to have new music for the first time in seven years basically tomorrow at midnight. Congratulations Mariah - we are so proud of you and all you have and continue to overcome. Most of us have been proudly with you and Here For It All through your entire career. This moment is all of ours. (Wednesday 24 September 2025; 20:23)

Album release (111,382) by Jamie from UK Thanks Bobby, I thought it was a bit strange it said 28th (Sunday 21 September 2025; 22:10) this is a reply to message 111,369

Album release (111,369) by Bobby A from United States Don't worry Jamie. HFIA will be available on 9/26 for you. AI said that it could be a regional variation because of the time zone or country. Sometimes a different date will be displayed based upon location acting as a placeholder date and leading to temporary system glitch. All systems are working together to make sure HFIA drops on 09.26 in all time zones and countries. (Sunday 21 September 2025; 16:58)

Good critics for the new album (111,374) by Jamie from UK That all sounds really positive. (Sunday 21 September 2025; 18:18) this is a reply to message 111,367

Good critics for the new album (111,367) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was surprised to read good critics about her new album in a German online newspaper today (Welt-News) which I wanted to share with you. The critic wrote, he was able to hear the album in advance and was very pleased. It's a combination of RnB, powerballads, adult-contemporary and hip-hop influences. So everything she's known for and loved the last 35 years. He also said "Here for it all" is one of her best ballads and worth the wait. Wow, now I have high expectations. He liked the self-irony of some of her lyrics which is very rare for a non-fan too. I was almost shocked to read something so positive. So now I can't wait to hear the full album like in the good old days. (Sunday 21 September 2025; 15:51)

Album release (111,366) by Jamie from UK I've seen a few messages now regarding the countdown to the album, from the messages they are saying the album to be released on 26th? But my preorder on iTunes is saying the 28th? (Sunday 21 September 2025; 15:41)
