The demo tape (112,695) by Edward from USA
They can digitize it and leak it. I'm pretty sure that's not the only copy out there in the wild. That's what's going to eventually happen anyway.

The demo tape (112,694) by Bill from the UK
Yes I just read more on the auction site and it clearly says it can’t be redistributed or sold etc. in any way. What a shame. Well, I hope whoever got it enjoys it for many years.

Her status (112,693) by Can Tavukcu from Germany
Hi I just watched the Apple showing of her concert and it had me thinking if I as a fan don't fully trust that everything was live then I don't know how the general public should appreciate her anymore. I don't think that I am fully over the lip syncing thing in New Yorks eve so again if I am not over this, then I don't know how the general public should be. Someone like Taylor Swift is very mediocre to me but I trust her singing live more than Mariah and no hate to Taylor because whenever I say this people think I'm hating her, but I don't truly but for me she is not leaving me speechless or whatever so Mariah needs to do something to fully have people believe in her again or she should just stop at this point. I truly love her but again for me here for it all was not it.

The demo tape (112,692) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands
They only bought the tape, not the rights to the songs. So all you can do with the tape is listen to it. You can't play it on radio or tv and you certainly can not release the songs. I'm sure Mariah has another copy of the tape, but I don't know if she has the rights to the songs.

The demo tape (112,691) by Bill from the UK
So Mariah's demo tape sold at auction for $54,050. A little out of my price range. I hope Mariah won the bid and will release it, or whoever did win it will digitise it for the world to enjoy. It had 5 songs that ended up on the debut plus 2 unheard ones (one of which I assume was Do You Ever Wonder which was mentioned in "Her Story" by Chris Nickson).

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,690) by Lighty from China
Is it every three albums though? I think Mariah's voice changes with each album, especially after Music Box. Even #1's and Rainbow are not exactly the same, vocally.

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,689) by Dove from United States
I'm not a fan of Carrie Underwood but I like the Christmas song she did with Elvis. I think they did it how you said, using old recordings of his voice and adding her voice to the song. That might sound nice if someone did that to her old recordings and added other singer's voices to make it a duet. They could even change the music too. She could even add embellishments with her current voice.

I've always said Mariah's voice changes about every three albums. It's like she's a completely different singer. You can still hear that it's her, but she sounds different. I love this about her but I kind of wish she would have recorded more material in each era.

In Your Feelings (112,687) by jaker20 from US
Mariah has an image problem to get another hit. Gen Z will always associate her with Christmas and 90s songs that she won't be able to measure up to. No one can. You just stated it yourself: Music Box and Daydream Mariah would cringe with In Your Feelings.

Obsessed is an aberration, it's destined to be her biggest song after AIWFC, but at her age she is not going to make a song like that anymore, and the public won't believe it if she does.

Other than luck, she's left with very little to options. And honestly, lambs wanting for Bruno Mars to collab with her is pretty desperate. I think they just want to replicate the success of his song with Lady Gaga. It's never going to happen.

Charts don't mean much like it used to, so I don't think that is a worthy record to pursue. Nicky Minaj has like 150 Billboard hot 100 songs, ridiculous.

Besides, AIWFC is going to continue to break every existing record out there, records that actually matters because it's always about the song.

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,686) by John from USA
I would want Mariah to release a kind of visual album, where each track has a music video, but the twist is that an actor or celebrity is singing is featured on each track ghost-singing to Mariah's voice in their music videos. This would probably make Mariah more accessible to the mainstream listeners of today.

MC super girl group (112,685) by John from USA
I actually meant an actual girl group vanity project, in the likes of Silk Sonic and Lucy Pearl. I envision hearing new music with callbacks, references, and possibly samples of their respective older hits (especially ones they deem reflects Mariah's influence on them the most). I chose these 4 artists, because they have been the most reverential and loyal to Mariah, plus I think [their] voices will work well together.

When MC is focused about giving a great performance, she shines. Last night's petformance was 10 stars. I loved the vocals and overall performances from everyone.

Grimes can also be added to the list. She openly praised Mariah and sang Fantasy in interviews.

History corrected (112,681) by Edward from USA
It's official, "AIWFCIY" breaks and sets a new record, sitting at #1 for a cumulative 20 weeks. Lil Nas X, go ahead and get ready to bend the knee and hand the torch back to the queen.

#2 Jingle Bell Rock
#3 Last Christmas
#4 Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
#5 Santa Tell Me

MC super girl group (112,680) by Lambi from USA
My goodness. All the girls Mariah birthed in a tribute medley would be amazing. By the way these are the girlies who openly admitted Mariah inspired them: Beyoncé, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, JoJo, Kelly Rowland, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, Tori Kelly, Normani, Chloey Bailey, SZA, H.E.R.

Obviously Beyonce and Rihanna are too big now. Rihanna doesn't really take vocals seriously. Christina is forever mad about being uninvited.

Jennifer and Ariana already came true with Oh Santa. Ariana and Tori also did When You Believe for funsies, but yes I would like a proper cover. I hear Tori Kelly, Ari and Jojo completely slaying Babydoll with a triple harmony.

It sucks because this is such a fun idea but I bet all the pop girlies wouldn't dare (even more now) since Muni sensitive Long put Mariah out of context and is forever butt hurt about a comment Mariah made that was nowhere near being aimed towards her. I'm literally so annoyed with Muni LMAO. What the hell girl.

Everybody hears except Mariah (112,676) by Lambi from USA
Anyone else find it interesting how Mariah seemingly doesn't hear the subtle tone changes in every era? Since she used vocals from 1993 for the 2003 NBA Hero performance. She did the same thing and used '94 vocals for the 2004 Joy To The World performance. It seems she genuinely believes her tone is the same.

Serious question (112,675) by Lambi from USA
Hey Matty, I've actually known about some of what happened with JoJo's rise. It truly is a shame. This Deep Dive details everything. She truly does deserve more. She easily could've been Christina's successor and Ariana's predecessor.

MC super girl group (112,674) by John from USA
I want a vanity project super girl group consisting of Mariah and the women she's inspired and influenced the most: JoJo, Brandi, Ariana, and Kelly Clarkson. Let them bounce ideas off of one another, create vocal harmonies and arrangements, and make the best R&B/Pop music the mid 2020s can ever come up with. I don't care if it is a hit. I just want it to be so undeniably great. That said, it ain't ever gonna happen.

I'ma keep sweet at almost 60 (112,673) by Edward from USA
The solo version without the girls just doesn't hit, it feels empty. And the version where Mariah added another verse? You can tell it was kind of slapped together and not very well produced. "Sugar Sweet" featuring Kehlani and Shenseea is easily the best version, but it just wasn't meant to be.

I also agree that a younger Mariah would've done better with "Sugar Sweet". The song didn't flop because of a lack of promotion or a video, it simply didn't catch on because it came from Mariah, and people aren't interested in her music like that anymore, at least not the kind she's putting out now, and that's ok. There was a time when Mariah had the Midas touch, just like Taylor does today, she could've farted on a track and it would've been a hit. Sadly, those days are gone.

I've been telling people here to focus on the music because I knew what would happen with "HFIA". I was being realistic and saw it coming, I don't live in la-la land.

It's time for the Lambs to be a little more realistic. "HFIA" is a great album, and if it had been released by someone other than Mariah, it would've been a sure hit. Some people stay blind because they refuse to open their eyes and accept the truth.

Great news. A grunge album will surprise everybody. And it's a wonderful gift for the fans/lambs. Imagine Daydream Mariah doing grunge. Incredible. By the way Mariah is on number one in Germany too with AIWFIY. It rhymes. I just heard the "news" on the radio.
