And yes, Mariah's sound (105,573)

Being a doctor and fashion expert are two vastly different things. One deals with people's health, life and death and needs a very high level of expertise. Anyone can be a fashion expert you just need to have good taste and an eye for what's fashionable. It's not the same. It's not even a debate.

It's merely an opinion, akin to when you suggest certain outfits or styles for her to wear or not. You're not a fashion expert, just as I am not a doctor. However, we form our opinions based on what we observe. It's not as though Mariah is going to discard her wardrobe at the suggestion of one, or opt for surgical procedures at the suggestion of another.
Listening to the remix, it's apparent that there may be some significant issues with her voice. Whether we choose to gloss over it is a separate matter.
Considering we're discussing Mariah Carey here, the legend, hearing her on a remix sounding like this is quite perplexing to me, that's all. I now understand why she probably hasn't released new music in a such a long time.

I said this before and I'll say it again, let us leave the sentiments at constructive criticism and avoid giving out medical advice. She's in her 50s, there could be a lot of reasons why she would want to avoid a surgery. We don't know if there's any risk to her health. Also even if there are no risks to her health, we should not be telling her what procedures she needs to do. We're not doctors and if any of you are, you haven't treated her. Also just out of basic decency, it's a no no.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. It's perplexing how even studio production couldn't conceal or refine her delivery on the "Yes, And?" remix. Your point about the microphone possibly capturing the true state of her voice makes sense. Considering this is the best she could come up with even with studio manipulations, it leaves me curious about the raw quality of her vocals. At this stage, when even her whistle register is lacking its usual brilliance, I believe it might be prudent for her to consider undergoing vocal nodule removal.

Hall of Fame (105,557)

So I hear the result is not based on fan votes at all but instead by a panel from the industry. Apparently the last time the top 3 fan voted ones were not the ones that were inducted.

Promo (105,533)

Y'all think there's going to be more promo for the song? It looks like Ariana's new post is all her upcoming album. The director of the OG YA video is teasing the video for her next single.

Signed copies (105,531)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

|

I hope soon lol just because it's just too much. Between 2021-2024 she's released like what 5 albums? 4 of them re-records. She's always getting her fan base to hate on her partners but can't take the same heat when she's remotely criticized. She's also milking the Eras tour for all it's worth and I think she will release all her re-records while she has the Era's tour spotlight on her. The whole Travis Kelce thing is 100% manufactured in my opinion to keep her in the spotlight. Her fan base argues "she doesn't need more money, she's already a billionaire or she doesn't need more fame she's already famous", but if there's one thing we know about rich and famous it's that nothing is ever enough. Yes she's a billionaire, but she definitely will do anything to earn more money because she has to support the lifestyle she has. Yes she is uber famous but she knows she has to keep being in the spotlight because out of sight out of mind. After 1989 she vanished and no one even thought about her until she came back, then again she had a down phase, to the point for one of her songs I forget if it was Willow or Cardigan she had to release like 20 versions to compete with AIW, and that too fell off after 1 week. Now again we're over saturated.

How long before you think the oversaturation will catch up to her (Taylor). It's like they know Midnights was not that great, but they are trying to milk it for all its worth.

To be honest I appreciate Taylor's artistry and her songwriting, it has a mass appeal. What I don't like is her money grabs and over commercialized behaviors. She's literally using her fan base as a cash cow releasing 2 albums per year (sometimes both re-records, sometimes 1 re-record and 1 new) and then she releases multiple versions of the same.

Facebook is tearing JLo apart for how bad her album is. Taylor's Target exclusive is going to top Midnights. She has become too big to stop now. I have never been a fan.

JLo is out at the Bronx singing CDs at target. Bless her heart her 300m followers weren’t enough, but lol MC and Ariana should totally start selling signed copies to maximize the sales. Side note Taylor Swift has been revealing new bonus tracks here and there and her fans are kinda tired at this point of her capitalizing of them. She sold atleast 3 different versions of Midnights, then all the rereleases and now the new album looks like will have different versions too.

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,520)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|

Hahah I get your feelings and I too will be happy with a top 5 top 10 so that it positions Mariah really well for her next release but if it goes to #1, that'll be icing on the cake. I know it's a polarizing song, but a #1 is a #1 haha. I mean 4 of Mariah's #1s have been about her wanting to have sex lol (Honey, Fantasy, My All and TMB), 5th too if you count Emotions. The last collab she had was literally about having Big D Energy. Lol so I'll take whatever win we can have.

So the remix is a lot better than the original song. I hope Mariah and Ariana have a lot of success with this song. I don't mean to be negative but there's this part of me that hopes it cracks the top 10 or even top 5 on Billboard, but not reach number one.  I just don't like the song or the message at all. Like I said Mariah added depth to the song that it was missing, and other than the bad mixing on the pre and first chorus everything songs great, uh, I don't know, I just feel like this song shouldn't be attached to the brilliant songs that make up the other 19. Call it single/song impostor syndrome, idk. Anyway on a positive note, I have been trying to stream it in the background to help. I do hope they both work on an original song together in the future and not just remakes.
Also, as a YouTuber said in his reaction of yes and, Mariah has started off belting in a song since 1996  lol, so I was happy and presently surprised that she was belting in full chest voice throughout the song and sounding great too.

Yus US Lambs please push this song hard. Arianators are apparently going hard with promo calling the biggest radio stations to play the song. It was played on Z100 which is huge. The Arianators want it to hit #1 so Ariana can have the gift of going #1 side by side with her idol. There have been people who listened to it the first time and didn't like it only to later like it upon further listens, so if it's played on radio and all it'll reach masses.

Let's [stream], download and do what we got to do to get Mariah and [Ariana] to number one, let's get behind this as their fans, there would be nothing more exciting than to get Mariah her 20th number one. I would be so thrilled to see that happen for her.

"Mariah sounds too loud on the remix" (105,517)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|
|
People are so dumb they literally said Mariah was showing off her vocals on purpose to sabotage Ariana. As if it's not Ariana's song and I'm sure Ariana discussed with Mariah what she wanted and Mariah delivered accordingly. This isn't like it was a Mariah song and Ariana had no say in it. Apparently Mariah's "loud" vocals sound really great when played in clubs because someone mentioned the remix was played in a club they went to. So Mariah knew exactly what she's was doing. Others saying Mariah sounds AI generated, like ok so she sounds great? People hate it when she whispers, people hate it when she's belting. People hate it when she doesn't sound great, people hate it when she does sound great.

That's always been how she is on her remixes. Clearly they don't know Mariah's iconic remixes which are still some of the best.

Yall so looks like a MV isn't ready. Kris replied to a fan saying he isn't aware of any MV made. Which if true makes me sad. I was hoping they had one to promote. If there isn't I don't think they'd make one now because either ways Ariana's album comes in weeks.

Hahah, I don't know, I'm honestly baffled, because I'm like what does this even mean? It sounds good, but I never had trouble understanding what she's meaning to say haha. But honestly, I'm glad Mariah went full voice instead of whispering with Ariana, because it gives a good contrast. I really hope they have a MV ready. I think Taylor is about to announce her first single, ugh, can she stop for a bit to let others shine haha? And Beyoncé is holding strong with Texas Hold 'Em. So it's gonna be a tough battle.

First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits?

Eyes (105,457)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|

Is the "eye" thing a clue for something? The cover of the single only has their eyes. And the photo of Ariana and Mariah together looks like Mariah is deliberately angled so that one of her eyes and one of Ariana's are almost joined together haha. Side note, their makeup too is pretty synchronized with the bronzed skin, big lashes and it looks like they're wearing the exact same lipstick. Their hair too looks the exact same shade haha.

Yus always happy to have a partner to be giddy over MC. None of my friends or family are "lambs", they like her songs here and there but not a lamb so that's why MCA is my outlet haha. I am seeing posts about how Mariah's team is super into pushing this song and Ariana's team on board. With their combined budget I do hope they give it their all. Ariana posted a photo wearing a dress with the Butterfly cover photo, and MC retweeted it with a "she ate". 4 more hours. I have work tomorrow so I probably won't be able to hear it tonight but first thing tomorrow morning I'm excited to see the reactions.

Lol. I think so too. I am enjoying our new partnership, Mimi. Before your post this week, I saw that Ariana WBT video two weeks go. I thought it was odd that she was singing new lyrics to WBT. I guess Europe and the UK will hear it at 7pm Eastern time. Right?

Ok we must be brain twins because that's literally what I posted a few posts down. I have a feeling it's WBT included somehow because of that leaked snippet of Ariana singing the lyrics to WBT over a different beat, then the rumors about Mariah reworking one of her famous #1's and then finally Mariah posting on TikTok singing WBT just a few hours after Ariana announced the remix.
