Save The Day (110,390) by Lambi from USA
This should've been the one that made the cut.

I've been quiet ... Sugar Sweet (110,362) by Lambi from USA
"Not comeback material" is correct. Both singles could've just been album cuts by Mariah's standards. Some of the non-singles from Caution felt stronger and would've made better singles if released now. These last two songs feel like they're just "good enough" not to be scrapped, but they're definitely close.

It makes me wonder if Mariah is still in touch with the great songwriters of today, or if she really is just out of creative juice. Or has the overall quality of songwriters declined as well? Her top 3 collaborators, Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal, and Johntá Austin, are nowhere to be found. I wonder what's going on. Are they having royalty issues? Or did Mariah simply want a clean slate with fresh writers?

Whatever she's doing, it's not working. Beyoncé's albums may be mid, but she chooses the right singles. Texas Hold 'Em and Cuff It were undeniable bangers and carried their entire eras, not in album sales but at least the tours. She knows how to curate a group of talented songwriters. Mariah is simply missing the mark.

Happy to be proven wrong, though. Perhaps the hurt from Pat's death produced something directly from above. I know that when Mariah clings to God during catastrophic times, the melodies that arise are out of this world. Maybe the Clark Sisters gospel record is that moment. Maybe the balladeer Mariah has actually returned, because "Portrait" from Caution was not it. Still somewhat hopeful for this era, but I believe your assessments are pretty accurate. Mariah even said Sugar Sweet is everyone's favorite, so that signals to me that this was it. Everything is downhill from here unless she pulls a banger from under her sleeve quickly and blows everyone away.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,332) by Lambi from USA
In the land of Kardashians and waist trainers, of course she's had some work done on her body. Her hips look like they were enhanced as well, but it's Hollywood, and this is the norm. I would say Mariah never really overdid anything, except for the boobs. She knew Nick loved them, so she consistently made them bigger and flaunted them for revenge. Stella famously said, "She just got her boobs done," but she didn't blow up her lips like Christina or Carrie Underwood, and she didn't do anything extreme like a Michael Jackson nose job. She always kind of harmonized with her natural beauty. At most, she may have had a non-invasive injection on the sides of her button nose to make it more subtle. She also has perfectly crafted veneers and a tiny bit of Botox here and there, but she still very much has a face that's hers.

I can't remember where I saw it, but it was revealed that Mariah follows an all-blue food diet to preserve her youth. Her beautician said she has an extensive beauty regimen that involves getting three facials every week. With her money, she has access to top-tier beauty products. She really takes beauty seriously. I remember that right after she gave birth, she said, "We gotta stay pretty," while getting ready to take pictures with her newborns. She has always been invested in beauty, and she reaps what she sows. Mariah deserves all the amazing results because she has always put in the effort.

Random thought (110,304) by Lambi from USA
Depends on the material. This will forever be Mariah's greatest acting stint. She's a natural comedian and so phenomenal with mimicking accents. She needs to get back to doing comedic skits. Her more serious roles could need a bit more polishing I agree, but she naturally shines in comedy. Did you see, "Allo, Christopher, you mek beard?" LMAO.

That time Mariah extended Whitney a sister diva helping hand (110,287) by Lambi from USA
Great tidbit, lamb. I've always wondered why Whitney and Mariah never collaborated again. Morgan said in an interview that Mariah was saying, "Poor Whitney, boohoo," when she was publicly tripping on coke and was really struggling. Then Whitney said in an interview, "And when I record, I sing it straight," which was allegedly a jab at Mariah, since she was known for being a perfectionist in the studio.

Now that you've shared this, I can confirm that there was really no bad blood. Morgan may have taken Mariah out of context, and she was likely speaking from a place of concern. As for Whitney, she was probably just showing off her vocal prowess and comparing herself to other singers in the industry, in general.

However, part of me still believes Mariah might have kept her distance from Whitney, knowing how much drug addiction had damaged Allison and her nephew. It's something she will not be nearby. But it's comforting to know Mariah cared for her and loved her, even if it's just from a distance.

This is a fan space. People are going to speculate, critique, connect with other lambs, share their opinions, debate their ideas and have fun. That's kind of the point of a message board.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,208) by Lambi from USA
Please don't race bait. Jamie made a point about Mariah's career during and after her time with Tommy. He referenced "Without You" (from the Tommy era) and "With You I'm Born Again" (post-Tommy), saying Mariah carried herself with grace in both. He clearly said he can appreciate both eras. Nothing about race.

He also shared that his nana was more pleased with him being a Mariah fan than a Madonna fan (another white woman) so taking it from a race angle is a bit reaching. If he was truly insinuating racism, he would've made a comparison with a black artist, which he didn't, so let's not twist this into something it's not.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,183) by Lambi from USA
"I would never lip sync" sends me right back to Howard Stern's correct assessment of Mariah Carey lip syncing at the '98 Blockbuster Awards. She was so insulted, she gaslit him and sang a line on the spot: "Baby, can you feel me, imagining I'm looking in your eyes, can you see that? Yeah, don't accuse me of not singing again. Ever."

This will forever send me because the clip consistently goes viral and everyone thinks Mariah delivered a smackdown response when in reality, she was gaslighting him the whole time. She was, in fact, lip syncing. LMAO.

Yall got me reminiscing (110,150) by Lambi from USA
1:57 "The reason is because I'm a secret agent, do you understand?" is so hysterical. I also love the other interview where she threw a whole a*s pillow at him. LMAO.

Some OG's are actually cool. Sometimes you can just tell they've been around. They're quite knowledgeable and genuinely have such a deep understanding of Mariah. I actually respect their assessments.

But there's one here that just kind of says, "I'm such an OG", "we OG fans", and it's peak cringe. Reminds me of that one kid in school who still tries too hard to be cool. It's like a badge of honor they wear that nobody cares about.

Re: Andrew (75,682) (110,118) by Lambi from USA
I remember reading Andrew's sentiments as a teenager (I didn't post at all, just lurked), and now that my brain is fully developed, I wanted to assess his character as an adult. I accidentally came across his sentiment (the post I'm replying to) about Martyn, a lamb who died in the bombing at Ariana's concert.

A post prior said, "I promise to try to show as much love toward the rest of you as I can and let that be his legacy in my life. I wish each and every one of you, whether we agree or disagree, whether we love the same way or do not, a long and happy life."

He was clearly a troubled man, but the loss of a lamb and someone he actually knew in real life seemed to have waken him up and hit him really hard. "I'm going to pray tonight. I haven't done that since I was a child. And I'm not sure what that means. But a prayer I will say. And if there is an afterlife, and they can see what we are doing, then let this be the change in the board that is needed." This sentiment showed a lack of a prayer life. Lack of a prayer life equates to a lack of God in your life. But it brings me a sense of peace to know that, in his moment of pain, something in him reached for prayer.

I won't disagree that he was extremely toxic, but I too would like to say a prayer for Andrew. I hope he's healed and found God today.

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,117) by Lambi from USA
I like the analogy of Taylor to Madonna. Even though Mariah completely changed her image to something sexier in '97, it was still pretty mild (like she said) and somewhat natural. I agree completely. I was even fine with her image during the E=MC² era. She was actually hot, and homegirl knew it. Her beauty during her 30s was effortless.

It started feeling desperate when she wore lingerie on a noontime show and that ensemble on top of the piano on BET while singing "You're Mine" (on the verge of divorce). Even Patti was like, "Maybe we'll keep some for the imagination."

Truthfully, I think Nick completely perverted and changed her. She was never the same. She even did a prank call on his radio show, talking about how "porn is good" and that her husband was not so far off from the guys there. Clearly, they experimented with it. And that perverted spirit kind of lingered. She does have a teenage son now, though. I wonder if Rocky has ever expressed how embarrassing it is.

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,070) by Lambi from USA
I agree I think the hairstylist and make up artist did good. Just the styling was a bit of a mismatch. There shouldn't have been any straps on the clavicles. Because it became straps + her ginormous necklace + crazy amount of hair + overly done boobs. It was way too much. Should've removed straps, add some sort of lace material to hover her boobs, put the hair completely on the back (or maybe just one side) then a more subtle necklace piece to completely accentuate and feature her neck and clavicle area. This would've been be a more polished, clean look.

I noticed Mariah sports these extra "slutty" looks when she's in peak romance. She quite literally wore lingerie on Ellen in 2009, just a year after getting married to Nick.

Jimmy Kimmel (110,068) by Lambi from USA
Interviewer is the same as mold Ellen and Rosie but you can tell she's just starting out in late night. She's got more of podcast interview vibe honestly and she's lowkey awkward. But to be fair, we never really get anything in-depth music wise with these mainstream late night shows. Mariah may just have to book another Genius interview because that was the most journalism someone did for her catalogue. It was done by a real lamb.

Here For It All (110,015) by Lambi from USA
You don't think TEOM is a no skip album? I get what you mean with Butterfly being the golden standard though. It's on another level.

I want to believe HFIA is a no skip album but I already skipped T:D but I don't doubt majority of the tracks will be fire.

Actually no. I've been rather chill. I literally ride the "reprimand" joke at this point. I mean my album title was, Reprimanded: The Art Of Hibernation. But it is a drum that a couple people here keeps beating, I don't know why. There was really no need for a subtle diss. But I hope this ends it. Trying to enjoy the roll out of Here For It All.

I'm glad you noticed. There's a reason for that insult. "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand" is direct hit on me from Stacey. Then she pretends to be well-meaning right after the diss. The one you're defending actually engages on pretending to be a saint, so it turns out you actually got fooled.

For the record (109,976) by Lambi from USA
If you have complete disagreements with anyone here, that's totally okay. This is just what happens in any hub. Fights break out all the time. If you happen to be emotional and make a rather deranged post, that's also totally fine, as long as you realize you made a mess and fix it afterward. Everyone forgets it and moves on.

What's not okay is insinuating things like, "You don't belong here," "Thank goodness you'll be gone," or "You have no place in this fandom." This is the language of a bully. I don't care how correct you are or how deep your MC knowledge goes. Mariah always felt like an outsider, and people become fans of hers because they too have felt like outsiders. No one should be happy to see a lamb leave on a bitter, sad note.

If you feel like you've been ganged up on and feel unwelcome, don't leave. Not everyone will respond to your every post, but the thumbs up button shows that we see you and that you're heard. Stick around. Defend your positions, respectfully of course, but do not let self-proclaimed "superior" fans because they've been around since 1901, break your spirit.

Anyway, enough of that. Happy new era to all. I'm so excited for this release. Someone said this could be Mariah's last era, and it kind of made sense and even made me a little emotional. But I'm still elated to experience a Mariah slayage in real time. Glad to be here for it all.

Mental state (109,974) by Lambi from USA
Great take. Mariah's been forthcoming about diabetes. It makes sense because she probably sits around too much. But I see her making an effort to exercise on the reel, "I'm Mariah Carey. Of course this is my work out ensemble." Hopefully working out is part of her day to day routine now, avoiding insulin resistance completely.

The months where she gives no effort on miming could've simply came from the nerve pain caused by the veneers. Maybe she's got a sensitive gum, and I can't tell you how painful that is. The doctors definitely put in work because her teeth are perfection.

The stroke issue could also be a possibility. Jamie Foxx, Justin Bieber and Tori Kelly developed some sort of blood clot after taking a certain vaccine, allegedly. And we all know which side of the political aisle Mariah probably falls on, based on her friends, so it's probably best to keep that shush.

All in all though, Mariah seems to be taking her health extremely seriously. She seems to be at a healthy weight, and is always put together flawlessly. I agree with Mimi L. She managed to reach another beauty peak. It's abnormal to look that stunningly youthful at 56. I mean that blonde bombshell look with her straightened on the T:D video is unbelievably striking.
