About T from USA :

Article: Mariah Carey launches Butterfly MC Records (81,729) by T from USA Looks like 2017 will be counted as the first delayed push back date, then 2018. I suspect new album in 2019. (Tuesday 10 April 2018; 14:19)

Walter A reunion (81,700) by T from USA I think it's time Mariah connect with Walter A. I know we always say this with every new album but it just feels right now. Her first album back with Sony and her Insta posts about Daydream, Butterfly etc. I don't need half the album but if there were a couple (or 3 out of 12 tracks) I think we could really get that next Mariah masterpiece.

Obsessed on EMC2 (80,941) by T from USA I wish she came up with Obsessed during the E=MC2 sessions with the Dream. I think it fits that album much better. Skydiving could've taken its place on Memoirs. (Thursday 15 February 2018; 14:31)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,630) (80,635) by T from USA And Make It Happen and Triumphant. (Thursday 25 January 2018; 20:15)

Re: Did Mariah betray her gift or did it betray her? (80,557) (80,558) by T from USA I think what may have happened is Mariah was looking for happiness after a sad lonely childhood and she thought music and success would give her the relief of all the pain she was feeling inside. The Butterfly album with all its themes and sadness is a person coming to the realization that none of it made her happy on the inside. And at some point during that era she stopped being so intense about using music and success as a remedy to the pain. At that point she found alcohol (and maybe drugs) to let her distract from her inner pain. Tommy kept her hidden from the industry parties as long as he could but she was increasingly becoming more unhappy. I remember the time in her life that she was in therapy and reunited with her father is a time I saw more genuine content within her. She was also treating her voice better (Charmbracelet world tour to TEOM). Unfortunately, it came after she hit rock bottom first. Then after all the success of TEOM she still wasn't at peace. Can you imagine being so successful and yet still looking outward for happiness? I really believed her kids would finally bring her inner peace but then we got the Stella era where she seemed the most disconnected and false ever. Right now she seems better and motivated but I just hope she's not just banking on new success to give her happiness, because once again she is going to be severely disappointed.

Timbaland (80,547) by T from USA Timbaland is the only producer I am dying for MC to work with at this point. He can simultaneously tap into that late '90s R&B and still it sound fresh for 2018. I think his work would please both the people who want a modern day Butterfly, a throwback to the Golden age and something she's never done before, all at the same time. I would take a twelve song album where Timbo produces half and Marc Shaiman does the other half (Walter Afanasieff would be asking too much). Now I know there are some who think she should go with all new people for a totally new sound but didn't she try that with MIAM? Hitboy, Mike Will, Miguel, Darkchild... and none of them could score a hit with Mimi. I think she should bring it back to basics. (Monday 22 January 2018; 01:14)

Re: Studio pic (80,517) (80,518) by T from USA Part of the big problem is she has nothing else to say. She's not as socially conscious or outspoken as Madonna. Mariah's songs are mostly about love and her life and quite frankly nobody is going to care about a 48 year old's love life, especially because she's probably not going to be honest about it anyway (see "I Don't"). The reason the Butterfly album worked so well and is still regarded as the best is because she was really honest in every song. It cost her though and "I don't" think she has ever been as honest to that degree again. Now if she pulls an Adele and tells everybody honestly what it's like to be in or out of love as a 48 year old mother of two, then maybe people will listen and actually care. But what are the chances? (Saturday 20 January 2018; 21:32)

Studio pic (80,513) by T from USA I think she did it because Madonna Instagram'd a pic and it got people excited. I think if there is anyone MC views as competition it is Madonna. And I don't think she wanted Madonna to get all the hype. But what Mariah doesn't realize is that when Madonna makes a music announcement the whole world takes notice. There is no point following the same route. Mariah should stay quiet until she is ready to release it. I think MC's career works best with a shroud of mystery. (Saturday 20 January 2018; 17:53)

Re: New album (80,440) (80,442) by T from USA Also it means she doesn't have to delay the album a whole year for just three more songs. Can you imagine how thight MIAM would've been as 12 tracks and released right after American Idol? Sure we wouldn't have gotten "Money", "One More Try" or "Heavenly" but the album as a whole would've been better and sold better. (Wednesday 17 January 2018; 14:23)

New album (80,434) by T from USA Now that she's back with Sony I hope she goes back to having her 12 track albums. To me it was the perfect number of songs (not too short, not too many fillers). It makes the artist be strick about what goes on the album and make tough choices. (Tuesday 16 January 2018; 15:08)

Re: Little by little (80,338) (80,339) by T from USA The question is how long can Mariah say "under the control" of this management. If Mariah has one problem (compared to Celine or Madonna) it is her inability to stay in one place very long, even if things are going well. I just hope she gives ROC Nation and Melissa at least two years to see where they can take her. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 14:28)

20th (80,169) by T from USA Way to go. Keep it up. (Monday 1 January 2018; 02:36)

There's Got To Be a Way / Hero (80,142) by T from USA This would be the greatest two song combination for this particular new years. It would remind everyone of the Mariah they fell in love with. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 16:07)

Re: Setlist (80,045) (80,047) by T from USA Fantasy Remix Vision Of Love It's Like That All with killer confidence. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 21:41)

Roc Nation (79,503) by T from USA I think this is the best possible news. It's a management company that's in line with the image of music Mariah wants to create. My only concern is that every manager Mariah has ever had has ended with a bad break up. I wouldn't want her to loose her friendship with Jay Z or worse, make enemies behind the scenes with people that could make her career missarable (she already did that once with Tommy). Still, I'm excited that a legend finally hires professionals to handle her stuff. (Tuesday 21 November 2017; 14:09)

Walter A (79,267) by T from USA With Big Jim out I would love Mariah and Walter to give it one more chance. I really think he genuinely loved her but was also manipulated by Tommy as everyone else was. I think they were all working with a level of fear. I would like to hear what they come up with now that they both have a new found freedom. Also ultimately what better revenge to Tommy Motolla than to have the two people he originally set up with great success to come back together and do it again without him. (Tuesday 7 November 2017; 14:29)

Stella wasted her last good years (79,246) by T from USA Mariah had the chance to release one album under LA Reid's watch at Sony. As the Showbiz article states, Stella wasted Mariah's best chance as Reid is one of the last big supporters of Mariah. I know it was important to re-establish her #1's in 2015 but he exited Sony in May 2017 so even if she had been focused and got out an album by Octpber/November 2016 or even March 2017 the latest then at least she would have label support. What is she going to do now? (Monday 6 November 2017; 15:07)

Mariah Carey and Beyonce song (79,245) by T from USA How great would it be to have a massive girl power record with these two legends? They could also do a re-sung remix of the song and feature Lil Kim. It would be the stuff '90s dreams are made of. (Monday 6 November 2017; 15:00)

Re: I was wonderding (78,579) (78,580) by T from USA E=MC2 singles: 1) Touch My Body 2) Migrate 3) I'm That Chick 4) Side Effects. Memoirs singles: 1) Obsessed 2) Betcha 3) Hate You/remix 4) I Want To Know what Love Is 5) Angels cry feat. Neyo (Wednesday 27 September 2017; 21:00)

Re: Memoirs (78,521) (78,570) by T from USA Classic Mariah album. I hope one day it will certified Platinum. (Wednesday 27 September 2017; 02:34)

Re: Scared for life (78,502) (78,506) by T from USA She can take the ball and place it in her own court if she just lost weight. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 03:51)

Mariah 1990-2010 (78,463) by T from USA These 20 years were the golden years of MC. Part of me wishes she stepped away fully after MCIIY. Had her children and came back for her 25th anniversary to re-release #1's (with #Beautiful and Dedicated as the bonus tracks) and that's it. It would've been a storied ending to her career. Now year by year she's earasing everything she worked so hard for. (Wednesday 20 September 2017; 20:23)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey gets another shot at reality TV (78,397) (78,399) by T from USA Doesn't anyone get it? There is no new album. Never was. She's working on songs here and there but if you you think she was crafting a cohesive body of work like MIAM or Butterfly 2.0 then you've been fooled. Remember how long it took her to make the last album? Touring is the new Mariah. I'll be surprised if she ever releases another album again. (Monday 18 September 2017; 13:32)

For the first time in a while (76,899) by T from USA For the first time in a while Mariah is reminding me of the old Mariah. Her most recent Instagram pics of her swimming and the 4th of July shot has got me feeling Mariah emotions. And go figure, it's the first weekend she has spent away from Stella since 2015. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 14:01)

Re: 90's vs 2000's (76,851) (76,862) by T from USA My mistake. It's actually 9 CD releases each decade 1990-2000 - Mariah Carey - Emotions - Unplugged - Music Box - Merry Christmas - Daydream - Butterfly - #1's - Rainbow 2001-2010 - Greatest Hits - Glitter - Charmbracelet - The Remixes - The Emancipation of Mimi - E=MC2 - The Ballads - Memoirs - MC2Y (Monday 3 July 2017; 19:06)
