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

Here for it all (111,178) by Jamie from UK Loving the new clip of [Here for it all]. Sounds like a great song. Not sure why she had to swear in it but other than that it sounds like a quality song with current vocals. (Sunday 14 September 2025; 19:08)

2065 (111,089) by Jamie from UK Haha here's Mariah still doing the best she can with what she got in 2065. (Wednesday 10 September 2025; 14:03)

Help me there’s stairs (111,071) by Jamie from UK I thought the same Ed, if you can't carry it off don't bother. Somebody on a pair of stilts could manage those stairs better. I think the time has come for slip on sketchers. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 18:49) this is a reply to message 111,065

Help me there’s stairs (111,065) by Edward from USA Jamie, what I don't get is why Mariah puts herself in those sky-high heels when she knows people will drag her for not moving. She could easily wear something more comfortable. Did you see the height of those heels? I don't see the point of wearing heels if you can't gracefully rock them. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 17:11)

Help me there’s stairs (111,059) by Jamie from UK Yeah it's become a bit of a joke on social media about her not moving. People shouldn't really joke about it if they don't know what's. I guess being honest would shut them down but like you said she isn't going to do that. 26th can't come quick enough. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 13:23) this is a reply to message 111,058

Help me there’s stairs (111,058) by Shezz from Pk Yes it has been obvious for a while that she does have some issues but she's not open like Celine to discuss her issues with the media or public and I guess we have to respect that. She was never a great performer but she did used to physically do the best with what she got from running around stage to her crazy hand movements even when she was lip syncing. I appreciate that she still is putting in all the effort with this new era and album. She still has the music in her even though she can't put on a show like she used to or give interviews like she used to. Makes me sad when lambs rip her apart for not moving enough or having low energy. I get that they just want her to be the best that they know she can be but anyone who has followed her closely in the last 10 years should know that she's obviously not doing it on purpose. Her stylist is another matter now. 17 days to go (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 12:48)

Baby if you give it to me (111,057) by Jamie from UK Saw this too. Must be from after the show. (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 11:14)

Help me there’s stairs (111,056) by Jamie from UK So I just saw this clip. It's clear she has movement issues that Ari is aware of too. Possibly a balance issue? I get she's got heels on but it's not the first time she's worn them. Definitely something going on. But well done Mariah on finally getting your Moonman (Tuesday 9 September 2025; 11:07)

Penny Ford - I lose control (110,935) by Jamie from UK Great informative post Bill. (Thursday 4 September 2025; 13:17) this is a reply to message 110,918

Penny Ford - I lose control (110,918) by Bill from the UK I Lose Control is amazing and a long time ago an "AI" edit was floating, but it got embargoed to the point that people thought it was actually Mariah's demo, as it included high notes and ad libs not in the Penny version. It sounded incredible and every day I curse myself for not downloading a copy when I had the chance. It was originally intended as Mariah's launch single, according to rumours. Everyone loved it but Mariah couldn't stand it, saying it was "stupid" and a "cheesy little uptempo ditty that I hated so much". This is why I think she never worked with NMW again, as she also didn't enjoy the "I Don't Wanna Cry" experience either, saying she wouldn't have titled the song that and that it went in a different direction to what she envisaged (more "Careless Whisper" vibe originally). In the liner notes for the debut album, she thanks her then-manager Don Ienner "for not making me 'lose control'". Apparently he was the only one who had her back around not including the song on the album at all, let alone it being the lead single, and advocated with Mariah for "Vision of Love" instead. Walden had reached out to Carey saying he still had the master tape for if she wanted to include it on The Rarities, but she never got back to him. I wonder how differently things would have panned out? A one hit wonder? A no hit wonder? The mind boggles. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 17:52)

Kai Cenat's stream (110,909) by Jamie from UK Wow yes, she's really comfortable and confident again. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 13:08) this is a reply to message 110,906

Kai Cenat's stream (110,906) by Lighty from China Might be the the most vibrant Mariah I've seen in a very long while. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 12:57)

Penny Ford - I lose control (110,908) by Jamie from UK Yep new that. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 13:06) this is a reply to message 110,905

Penny Ford - I lose control (110,905) by Billy from Greece How many of you are aware that Mariah and Narada Michael Walden are the writers of this? (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 12:30)

Super Bowl (110,868) by Jamie from UK Wow never knew it was that early. I wonder why? (Sunday 31 August 2025; 20:36) this is a reply to message 110,849

Super Bowl (110,849) by Bill from the UK Mariah started lip syncing in 1994, towards the end of the year. The first I can remember is Without You at a Christmas special of Top of the Pops, then it was just downhill from that point on. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 14:53)

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,867) by Jamie from UK My Sony OG Vision of Love Love Takes Time Can't Let Go Till the End of Time Just To Hold You Once Again All I've Ever Wanted O Holy Night Miss You Most (at Christmas Time) I am Free Looking In My All Whenever You Call Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) Petals (Sunday 31 August 2025; 20:34) this is a reply to message 110,851

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,851) by Bill from the UK I'll limit this to two per album: Vision of Love Vanishing And You Don't Remember Till the End of Time Anytime You Need a Friend Everything Fades Away O Holy Night Miss You Most (at Christmas Time) Open Arms Looking In My All Whenever You Call After Tonight Petals That'll do for now. Keeping it to the OG Sony run. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 14:58)

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,866) by Jamie from UK Noooooo the Mariah version off MC is the best. Never liked the video version though. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 20:27) this is a reply to message 110,854

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,854) by TJ from Norway O Holy Night? Maybe the Celine version, but Mariah's? I would never put that one in the box of ballads. Except that the list is OG approved. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 15:43)

One long month (110,822) by Jamie from UK I've noticed my preorder on UK Amazon won't arrive until 6th October. I wonder if all CD's produced are coming from the USA? I've preordered on iTunes too but thought it was a bit odd not getting the physical copy on the day it's released, they normally send them out early to ensure this. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 11:36) this is a reply to message 110,818

One long month (110,818) by Dove from United States I haven't pre-ordered mine yet. I usually get them the day they're released. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 05:30)

MC back in the studio (110,821) by Jamie from UK Yes I saw that, I wonder what she is up to? (Saturday 30 August 2025; 10:58) this is a reply to message 110,810

MC back in the studio (110,810) by Bobby A from United States MC posted an Instagram picture - "Back at it." (Friday 29 August 2025; 23:52)

MC the GOAT (110,805) by Jamie from UK Wise words Bill. Yes a lot of the time artists blame their record companies for the lack of sales, promotion etc when in truth it's mainly down to the artist themselves and their direction. Mariah was less popular after Butterfly for moving away from core audience. That's not to say her work wasn't good, it just wasn't as popular. (Friday 29 August 2025; 17:41) this is a reply to message 110,797

MC the GOAT (110,797) by Bill from the UK I think we all agree Mariah deserved some acknowledgement that night, due to it being the pinnacle of her career. But there's no point us still being bitter about a 30 year old event and still blaming Tommy, who had nothing to do with how that night unfolded. All it did was make Mariah realise she didn't need him. Mariah was still supported massively by Sony during the separation and after the divorce. I mean look at the budget the Heartbreaker video had. The videos, the tours, the non-stop global promotion. The issue was Mariah moved away from the adult contemporary audience that she curated during the beginning of her career, so her sales dipped, and she blamed the label (like Michael Jackson did). Rainbow was not Daydream. Invincible was not Thriller. (Friday 29 August 2025; 08:17)

One long month (110,804) by Jamie from UK I'm hanging in there, I am excited, my post was taken out of context. When I said I'm loosing interest it wasn't in the project it was more the drawn out process. Just seems to be taking forever that's all. 12 weeks since TD was released on June 6th. And we still have another 4 weeks to go. I'm just an old school lamb that isn't used to waiting this long for the album from lead single. I'm excited now we have the song titles, but that just wants me to have the album even more quicker. (Friday 29 August 2025; 17:26) this is a reply to message 110,782

One long month (110,782) by Edward from USA Jamie, stop being a glutton. If she keeps dropping new stuff now, we'll have nothing left by September 26. I know the wait is brutal, but hang in there. Besides, rumor has it there's a Mariah-only version of Sugar Sweet. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 19:09)

One long month (110,781) by Jamie from UK I'm not complaining, just stating a fact and how if feel. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 18:55) this is a reply to message 110,775

One long month (110,775) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands Please, no complaining. One month until the release and already losing interest? We've been waiting 8 years since Caution for this moment so I think you can wait another month and hope and dream what possibly could be. In the meantime listen to old albums and wait and see what's about to happen, maybe there will be another 8 years before a whole new album or it doesn't happen at all. So let's enjoy and let the lambily and MC build up the excitement. We're Here For It All. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 17:00)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,773) by Jamie from UK I have the album version already downloaded from iTunes and it has them all on it. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 15:59) this is a reply to message 110,769

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,769) by Shezz from Pk I "really really" hope the album version is just her. It would be like having another new unheard song to listen to on the album. Problem is, when she was releasing the track titles in her story one by one, it clearly said Sugar Sweet featuring Shensea and Kehlani. I suppose we need to wait a month to know but I wouldn't put it past team MC to have messed up and missed them out. I'm hoping they messed up in the stories and not the tracklist post. Billboard is just reporting what they saw posted I think. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 13:49)

One long month (110,772) by Jamie from UK I'm sat here thinking it's not even September yet and the album isn't out for another 28 days. It seems to be dragging and definitely seems too far away now. I hoping there is gonna be something in between now and the 26th to keep the momentum going. I'm a Mariah fan and even I'm starting to loose interest in this dragged out process. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 15:56)

The men in Mariah songs (110,759) by Jamie from UK Yeah it's about Tommy's kids. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 04:29) this is a reply to message 110,748

The men in Mariah songs (110,748) by Randy from USA I'm fascinated by so many Mariah references and the songs she wrote them for and I kinda like she plays coy when asked. It's clear that Butterfly (backwardly), Can't Take That Away, Side Effects, Petals (the patriarch) are about Tommy. Clown and Obsessed are about Eminem. My All, The Roof and Honey are about Derek. The Impossible, Cry, The Art of Letting Go and Faded are about Nick. I Don't is about James Packer. GTFO is about Stella. That sums up the men. I wonder who is the boy and girl in Petals (they're bonded thru despondency) and is the knife chipping away at her is Walter A? I still believe he was at that table and said nothing and that's the falling out. Finally, I am 90% sure that Thirsty is about Damizza and not about Nick. And I Wish You Well, Alison, Brenda K Starr? What are ya'll thoughts? (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 22:48)

Songs Mariah should cover (110,621) by Jamie from UK I was there too. (Thursday 21 August 2025; 14:03) this is a reply to message 110,611

Songs Mariah should cover (110,611) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway That is a picture from her Charmbracelet tour program, it sits on the bookshelf right next to me, many of my favorite pictures of Mariah in that program. Went to see her in concert in London at Wembley Arena in October 2003, I think about that trip ever so often. (Wednesday 20 August 2025; 23:00)

Sugar Sweet (110,483) by Jamie from UK Yes I feel the same, Mariah should have been more vocal on this track, there was no need for two other artists, one would have been enough at the end. I really don't get the lack of promotion behind SW though, it's like they went here you go and just disappeared, no video, no remixes, it doesn't make sense for a release. Was it gonna be number one, no. But at least try and back up what you're releasing, especially while she has done so many interviews recently, the roll out has been great apart from SW, it's really bizarre. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 11:41) this is a reply to message 110,480

Sugar Sweet (110,480) by Giovanni from USA Two problems with "Sugar sweet". It should have been a solo or just have been with Shenseea or with Ariana. Second no video. "Sugar sweet" had the potential to be better had Mariah gotten another verse in the song. I really thought hearing the snippet that it was gonna be another "Touch my body" lol. I was wrong. At this point all we can hope for is a good album. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 06:31)

Here For It All (110,464) by Jamie from UK I would love Mariah to forget the glam, the diva pretense, the hair, the make up etc and take herself off to a yoga style retreat for a month where she can reconnect with herself again, focus on what's important and be one present with herself again. I suspect she's past that now tbh but I think it would be good for her to be spiritual for a while, eat healthy food, no booze. Then gradually reduce the meds and get back to being her best. (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 15:42) this is a reply to message 110,462

Here For It All (110,462) by ADAM from USA I'm actually surprised at the reaction here - this was the same belt that was played during the album cover reveal where I reacted she sounded metallic or chipmunk like. This is definitely the best take she could deliver and even that belt I suspect is piece together or engineered to sound connected. Mariah is a studio singer and if this is what we are hearing as final then imagine how long it took since it's been many years since she released a studio effort. She's had the entire pandemic plus to rest or train her voice. I think she's an alcoholic and perhaps her addiction has ruined her voice beyond repair. Its really tough to watch or listen to her interviews, she is heavily sedated and has memory/recall issue because she can't remember in detail past events or people. The Alan Carr podcast interview was very telling. He was so happy and easy to chat with and Mariah came across like she just met the guy. Thoughts? (Wednesday 13 August 2025; 14:46)

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,420) by Jamie from UK It's probably because she can't make eye contact with people properly because of anxiety etc. If she needs the medication fair enough but personally it's not working for her in my eyes. I too have bipolar 2 and less medication is better otherwise you become numb. I've recently 10 months ago reduced my antidepressant by half. Initially I got symptoms and withdrawal symptoms but it's passed and now wonder why I was ever on that other dose which wasn't even that high either. (Monday 11 August 2025; 17:23) this is a reply to message 110,418

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,418) by TJ from Norway I agree 100% with you on that one. She was so flirty and present back in 1997 in that interview. I wonder why she wears those huge sunglasses inside and it's like she's on weed. Really slow. (Monday 11 August 2025; 16:17)

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,417) by Jamie from UK Unfortunately this is Mariah now, over medicated and numb. How can she expect her songs to have any energy when she's like this. When they showed the old interview with Jamie Theakston, it showed a complete contrast in her. There she was lively, interactive and engaged. Now it's like her batteries are half full at most, she's disengaged, slowed down and flat. Yes she has some fun moments but the energy is low and doesn't let herself go or relax like she once did. (Monday 11 August 2025; 15:36) this is a reply to message 110,413

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,413) by MusicfanJ from Germany You described it perfectly how a "normal" watcher feels about the interviews. I read how fans called it Mariah with a chill-mode, but for me it feels a little too chill. I hope for the next time there will be more "reaction" (more lively), it almost made me tired while watching. (Monday 11 August 2025; 12:15)
