Interesting video (114,225) by Bobby A from United States
I wonder if MC will ever allow her life story from 1989-1998 to be made into a movie. I am curious about those first 9 years of her career and her marriage to Tommy. She really did have a Princess Di wedding that fell apart so quickly during the course of two eras. Movie titles like The Songbird Supreme or Dear Mariah Carey would totally capture the essence of those years. I wonder what Tommy thinks of the Mariah Carey he sees on TV now. Anyhow I do think he geniunely loved MC and Emilio Estefan said that Tommy was devasted about the break up of their marriage.

Interesting video (114,224) by Lambi from USA
Firstly, I didn't even acknowledge that you're correct, because it's not a text-to-speech video. I clearly disagreed. There are editing platforms with AI tools that can sequence footage, automate cuts, and speed up post-production. This isn't that.

If this were AI auto story generation, the output would be inconsistent, contextually inaccurate, and dizzying. Instead, there's a clear pre-written monologue carried by a real human voice, not a synthetic TTS engine.

The visuals track the narration with a level of precision that strongly indicates manual clip stitching and editing. There's virtually no evidentiary trace of automated story generation.

My point was broader than this specific video. It's entirely possible to produce an in-depth video essay while still using modern tools to streamline workflow and get your work out. If you want to be effective, you need to know how to scale an online business.

Using technology in production is obviously not the same thing as outsourcing authorship or narration. You're conflating fundamentally different processes, which makes your arguments invalid from the start. [censored]

Article: Mariah is giving "Daydream" fans the ultimate surprise (114,223) by Lainsky from Philippines
Only Mariah can do these kinds of releases from her previous works. Out of 33 tracks, only 15 tracks - tracks 7- 21, are the ultimate surprise here for the fans. I love the accapellas and session demos. They sound like they're lullabying me. Lol.

With every post you're sounding more and more clueless. I get it, I had to explain it slowly to my mom too.

Now you're saying that's how the internet works, automation. Just a prior post you said he did extensive research. Make up your mind.

These content are scraped online fed to AI automation ok, wrapped into AI narration and deepfake thumbnail and sensational headline ok.

And yes that is literally the point, to create them with little effort. see, no buzzword. At least you agree it is automated. Just a prior post you said he went in-depth and put effort into research.

People like you is why these AI content are thriving. I explained it to my mom and how it's hurting the creative industry and he got it in 5 minutes. But you're just going on contracting yourself.

Daydream 30 (114,221) by Bobby A from United States
Bill, can the Anytime You Need A Friend Boriqua Tribe Mix be exactly the type of acapella track you are talking about?

Daydream 30 (114,218) by Bobby A from United States
I love what MC has given us for Daydream. I just purchased the vinyl and CD. It is the Glitter anniversary that she will be able to give us more gems and surprises with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis helping her. Her vocals are insane on the Glitter album. We should get an announcement some time in August about Glitter. I hope the Glitter anniversary introduces Generation Alpha to 80s post-disco, dance-pop, dance-funk and R&B ballads this fall. Glitter could become MC's Jessie Ware's That. Feels Good or Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia on the Hot 100 or streaming charts.

I am free / Melt away (writing sessions) (114,217) by Stacey from USA
The writing session tracks are the best part. I wish we had something similar for all of Daydream's songs. It really gives great insight into her writing process. Honestly, MB30 had more unreleased material. I'd be lying if I wasn't disappointed. I've heard all these acapellas before with all the EP releases. That said, I love Daydream is getting the anniversary treatment. It is such a beautiful album from beginning to end. Some may argue its perfection. The cover is stunning. I ordered the 2CD set. I am still a sucker for opening up a CD and and reading the liner notes.

Daydream 30th anniversary (114,216) by Terna from Nigeria
Aww. Thanks. I'm actually listening to the album right now and wow, the sound is superb - remastering updated the sound somewhat. She really went all out for Daydream with the acapellas and especially the focus on "Underneath the stars". I love the sweet acapella version, her vocals are more forward and focused. "Slipping Away" also finally has a home with the rest of the recordings from that era.

I don't know. Maybe the fact that he took the time to write a very honest, detailed monologue that voiced what a lot of lambs have been feeling lately, and backed it up with accurate video evidence?

Every video editing software has AI features built in to improve workflow and increase productivity, and every video is going to get routed through some kind of algorithm.

That's literally how the internet and modern platforms work. That's how the tech ecosystem works, and it's how online business scales, so you're not exactly making a very compelling case here.

I think the problem is that you don't really think through your words. You use a few buzzwords like "AI" and "algorithm", assume they prove a point (they don't), and then hit submit.

Daydream 30 (114,214) by Edward from USA
I'm happy for those of you who are stoked about "Daydream 30". My coins will only go to the remastered album though. Everything else is pretty more of the same to me. At least one unreleased track would've been cool. Hopefully "Glitter 25" offers more enticing stuff.

Mariah's voice on those demos was out of this world. We were truly blessed.

She commented only a half of the tracks. I wish she shared more. Also there's nothing about Someone's Ugly Daughter.

I love "I am free" and the writing session is just wonderful. You can really hear the magic in her voice on that one. The tone, it feels like an angel singing. The "Melt away" session sounds so relaxed and soulful. I will be listening on repeat the next days for sure. Daydream forever.

More like in-depth nonesense because as you said yourself those clips clips have been around, nothing new there, so what type of research are you even going on about. These types of AI generated content with sensational headlines stretched to 30 minutes to play with YT algo has been going around in YouTube for a couple of years now lol.

Daydream 30 (114,209) by Lambi from USA
I wish they also went deeper into the instrumentation process, where she's humming to Walter, and released that instead. It seems like it's the second stage of writing, where they've already laid the foundation for melodies and harmonies to arise.

I sort of agree with Mariah (she said she had to be convinced to release this). I don't really think these needed to be released either. It just sounds like random gibberish, and all the trolls are going to have a feast extracting soundbites to make her sound even more nonsensical.

The cadence and intonation are very much that of a real human voice. The video essay is very clearly an organic effort. Reducing it to "AI-generated" is a bit out of touch.

He absolutely did his research. We should be thankful that somebody finally went in-depth and brought up the elephant in the room. We can sense truth when it's being told, and this guy is doing the Lord's work.

Look at the comments and see how the public is receiving it. We all feel a collective concern. Literally not one person bothered to critique how the video is edited and produced.

Daydream 30 (114,207) by Bill from the UK
I agree with you on the acapella tracks, especially as they have all simply been vocal stem tracks for these anniversary albums rather than actual acapellas. It seems everyone thinks "no music = acapella", when the original and true definition of an acapella does involve some instrumentation. Usually finger snaps, light keyboards/percussion, and the vocals holding up the main body. One Sweet Day had real acapellas on the single, the UTS "sweet acapella" is also a proper one. Another famous non-Mariah song would be Billy Joel's Longest Time.

If you have Amazon music she introduces each song and gives a description. She sounds quite sedated but nice to hear her take on each track.

Daydream (114,205) by nancy from Switzerland
I ordered the 2 CD Version. I like the new cover better than the original one. The vinyl is a bit too expensive because of the content. The remixes have already been released in the past years. I am not the A Cappella type. Sadly the Underneath the Stars remix is not resung. But it's ok. The raw versions are interesting. All in all a bit too expensive. I am happy for the anniversary. But I prefer new material.

Daydream 30 (114,204) by Bill from the UK
Agree, the tracklist looks great though it's a shame to not see the Rotterdam Hero and Emotions included as they were epic, especially Hero where she took the whole bridge to another level and her stratospheric belts.

The Underneath the Stars remix sounds good, I was always a fan of Eric Kupper mixes in the 90s, didn't know he was still knocking around.

I am really really intrigued with the writing sessions, especially with it featuring Walter and Babyface.

Underneath The Stars Eric Kupper mix is my favourite. I was hoping for a couple more unheard songs but the live songs from Rotterdam are great. She defo could have included some London ones for Bill and I to reminisce. I'm not over keen on acappella tracks as a whole if I'm honest but it's great to hear her voice on the writing sessions.

That is text-to-speech AI model generated narration, and the thumbnail is deepfake, and the structure of the video intentionally stretching it to 30 minutes to play with YouTube's algorithm, so even though the clips are real, I'd file them under AI slop to avoid.
