Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,394) by Giovanni from USA
I think he's talented but a liar. I don't think Mariah dated him at all. Of course I don't know this for sure but he doesn't strike me as Mariah's type. It's clear Damizza had feelings for MC or at least was attracted to her and then got in his feelings because Mariah cut ties with him. I don't like how he tries to take credit for TEOM especially with "Well belong together". That was all MC and JD. I hate it when people try to take credit for MC's work (Walter).

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,393) by Bobby A from United States
I wish he would stop talking too. I hope he is not ever mentioned in a Mariah Carey biopic movie. Just omit Damizza when it comes time for the Glitter and Rainbow eras. Replace him with MC collaborating with Brian Garten and Snoop Dogg during the recording of Cry-Baby.

Monroe's post (112,392) by Lambi from USA
I'm laughing, but now I'm really curious about the context. It's such a random clarification to make out of nowhere. Were fans asking her for updates about her other brothers and sisters, so she felt the need to emphasize "many, many years younger than me" as in, I genuinely have no idea what they're doing? Either way, we love an enlightened queen. Nick Cannon is finally seeing the repercussions of pulling all his scattered kids into the spotlight of his mess.

Monroe's Instagram post that she has only one brother tells the true story about how she feels about her father having so many other children by other women.

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,390) by Randy from USA
I saw this and cursed out my phone. This never happened. Like MC once said, what would that sound like, I sing and she does something else. I totally don't believe it and I wish he'd get a life or a career besides discussing a woman he hasn't seen or talked to in 20+ years. Dirtball. Every time he talks I feel the need to bathe in some sudsy ammonia. I hope he's not on the hand.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,389) by Stacey from USA
I had a huge collection back in the day. I collected mostly CD promos and rare commercial releases. I was after all kinds of different versions of songs. My collecting days brought me to this website. I trusted Eric's discography as accurate for legit releases vs fakes. I even have a few items listed on his discography. I sold off my collection around 2008 as I was pregnant with my first baby. My priorities had changed. The music landscape was changing away from cool promo CDs to something more digital. It was fun for a time. I met some amazing fellow collectors. But ultimately it was time to move on.

Yeah still got my collection I actually bought some new shelves a year ago to display it in a spare bedroom since it's been in boxes for years since moving. I'm still yet to build the shelves.

Yes, the good old poster days. My room was full of it. Lol. Kids today almost miss everything that was so much fun back then.

I have every album (incl. best of, remix cd, greatest hits, the Rarities, anniversary edition of Music Box, Christmas editions) from Mariah on CD, every single since 98, some from "Music Box" era, the debut on vinyl and "Daydream" on cassette. Plus the released DVD's and VHS in Europe. And a lot of "rare" songs and mixes on self-burned CD's. As Bill said, digital will never beat psychical. Never.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,385) by Bill from the UK
Yes, I still have my collection. Well, I had to sell a large portion of it "when times got rough", but I maintained what I always called my "core" collection, which was all her UK cassettes, CDs, promos and vinyl, all her Euro Maxi CDs, anything with something unique to it (picture sleeve, picture disc, special remix not found elsewhere). Now that almost everything is available digitally, it stays nicely preserved in its box, but occasionally on rainy days I take it out and spend the day with it. Digital will never beat physical.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,384) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
I have all her albums on cd, plenty physical singles, have quite a few of her albums on vinyl and also all the singles from TEOM on vinyl. My rearest item is AYNAF C+C Music Factory remixes on four vinyls wich is a UK Dj exlusive edition, got it from the Norwegian music journalist Per Sundes who I knew many years ago, he worked at the National Broadcaster in Norway, NrK, and took them from the archives and gave it to me. I also have a dvd with Mariah's Tokyo Dome concert in 1996 before it was ever released commercially, it's printed on a blank dvd with the set list written in handwriting. NrK was supposed to broadcast it, but they never did, and now I own the recording. NrK didn't know anything about this, so it's our little secret. And I also have all the concerts Mariah has released on dvd. I will never get rid of any of the physical items

Yes to hear her original demo is on my list too.

I have a physical collection with a sound system and I love it. I'm a typical collector and 90ies kid. I also have a portable cd-player (a new one) mostly for the home. I was happy that Amazon still sells them. The mp3 player is often played for sports or the household work. Lol.

Every single album except HFIA as a cassette and as a cd in three copies - one was for my old car (new cars don't have a cd player anymore so I didn't bought the third copy), one for my holiday house on the Croatian coast and one at home playing on a cd player that I had to buy as well since the old one stopped working. Posters signed by her are numerous.

I just wonder if she will ever release that demo? That is something I really would love to add to my collection. It's on the shelf collecting dust, but it's mine.

I could never get rid of that collection, but I don't play cds that much because the cd player is not in the living room, and I really need a new sound system at home.

How about you guys? Do you still have a physical collection? Maybe you never had a collection at all?

Absolutely. Plus her look, it's almost too much, that someone can look like Mariah and has the voice, talent and her early charisma/aura. A combination which is very rare, unique. When I saw the pic of the demo tape, I though it's like the "holy grail" of pop music. It's music history.

Nothing is Impossible (112,379) by Lainsky from Philippines
I completely agree. "In Your Feelings" has the potential to be a hit if it gets a good music video and enough promotion. Who knows? It could become another No. 1 after the Christmas season. Mariah and her team should capitalize on her Christmas hits by promoting "HFIA". The album and singles are too good to be overlooked by the general public. She could even release a deluxe edition with a few new songs, similar to what she has done in the past.

I know that streaming plays a significant role in today’s charts, so she might want to consider how this strategy could help "IYF" and other singles from the album become hits. It's disappointing that "HFIA" seems to be struggling right now, as I had hoped it could provide her with another No. 1 song or at least a few top ten hits. Only fans from the '90s, who remember her long-standing success on the Billboard charts, can truly resonate with my feelings about this.

I mean they also slashed out learning music in public school around late 70's and 80's. Generally speaking, the next generations aren't as musically inclined.

However though, I think if you're born with it, you're going to naturally gravitate towards it. Aretha and Whitney got to advance early because of the discipline it required to take center stage on church, you genuinely had to be excellent and anointed. Mariah was really blessed to have a mother she constantly heard practice day in and day out and so her ears were subconsciously trained really early. Pat also exposed her around jazz musicians that catapulted her improvisation skills to the extremes.

We still have some singers that are obviously gifted. Ariana was really the last good pop vocalist for me. There's also Liamani that's still very young, but I'm assuming she's gearing up for a music career pretty soon. MC had already handpicked her to do a Mariah tribute before, which I'd say was a great choice. Lil homegirl definitely delivered.

This is a real piece of history. It really shows how Mariah's break out is like no other. He said: "She writes like Madonna and sings like Whitney, I've discovered gold" is how he described her and he was mind-blown.

This is why there will never be another Mariah. There will be a lot of great voices, and lot of great lyrics, but there will never be another one who mixed the two in a way she has.

I love how the comments are saying "give it back to her".

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,372) by BFF from United States
I 100 percent think that this is what will happen. Mariah will definitely see the news about the auction and will surely be able to outbid anyone in the process. She has spoken at length about how she believes her demos were superior to what ended up on the debut album. This would be an incredible opportunity to once and for all silence the people who claim that she would have not been successful without Tommy. After watching Arthur Baker's video, I am interested to know about the other seven songs that he didn't listen to. I wonder how many songs from the demo ended up on the album. Surely there is something on there we haven't heard.

There's a lot of artist that can sing, it's just this era does not appreciate it anymore and have a negative perception of them. Especially the power vocals style of singing.

Singing competitions and social media made that genre ubiquitous, you see influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers and have stunning voices but are not even in the industry and don't even want to make money off their talent. It's devalued the style.

So Mariah and other industry talents are grouped with that perception. She has an image issue. I think the last real vocalist who was big in pop is Adele and even she does not sound like she used to, nor seems to have interest in making more records.

While I love that song, In Your Feelings is what they should support and do a video. It seems to be taking off on the radio, and that's without promo.
