Lessen the creative control debate (113,632) by Bobby A from United States Happy Friday, Nikki. I have never been called bruh before. I love it. I like it when we engaged about MC with constructive criticism. I know everyone on this board loves MC and wants the best for her. However, It has been painful for us to witness the missteps MC has made in her career in regards to the public's perception of her. I hope she can get her mojo back soon. I want MC to have another WBT or Hero moment where her song is on the pop radio constantly and on everyone's mind. (Friday 17 April 2026; 10:25) this is a reply to message 113,629

Lessen the creative control debate (113,629) by Nikki from usa Bruh, it's the industry that nominates them to get them on the ballot. It's the fans that vote them in. She's not in because the fans haven't shown up. The fans don't engage and mobilize anymore. The industry literally nominated her 3 times at least by this point. Mariah has been recognized for her songwriting. Mariah was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022. I think this board has no respect for her, but she's had several honors and dedications to her in just the past few years. (Friday 17 April 2026; 08:47)

Mariah's too epic for words (113,631) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "The Beatles aren't well loved." You really think that? You're completely off this world. (Friday 17 April 2026; 09:58) this is a reply to message 113,628

Mariah's too epic for words (113,628) by Nikki from usa If Mariah didn't have respect in the industry, she wouldn't have been nominated 3 times. Who do you think allows her on the ballot? It's not the fans that choose that, it's the fans that vote for the finalists. You didn't, therefore she isn't. I keep forgetting this is a board of Celine fans who also like Mariah's 1993 work. This just in - respect isn't a clothing line. Nobody is in the [Hall of Fame] for their attire. The HOF is heavily influenced by rock and roll. The Beatles aren't well loved - they're well promoted, frequently hyped up, have documentaries all the time, and even a movie or two. That's called PR. Because people make big money off of them. Whitney was never nominated while she was alive. She could've been inducted in 2010. Let that sink in. Are you going to claim it was because of the drugs? That's pretty rock n' roll. She had a career push and a movie about her after her death, because - gasp - the industry can now make money off of her. They even have her hologram on tour. MC has her own publishing and doesn't allow her music to be used. They can't make money off of her, yet she's nominated. Meanwhile, she has no strong fanbase. They scattered. Pink and Shakira's are highly active and engaged. Half of Mariah's didn't know she was up for the award, how to vote for her, and that they could do it more than once. MC's fans aren't engaged - it's been over 25 years and you're all still harping on her clothes. Deep as a puddle. (Friday 17 April 2026; 08:39)

I wouldn't worry about her finances (113,630) by Nikki from usa Mariah's touring so much because she's under contract with Live Nation. She signed with them in 2017. They had to cancel her 2020 tour. Which is why they got her a few headlining gigs, but Mariah didn't have another real tour again until 2022-2023. Live Nation has to combine two Christmas seasons together before they consider it a full "tour". So, Mariah didn't have a 'tour' again until 2023 as far as they were concerned. Which is why they've been riding her so hard ever since. They're trying to make up for lost time. It states her Tribeca home was under an LLC. So, she has it classified as a business. Which means its expenses are tax deductible. She made it a tax write off. When she sells it, it will be for an investor's capital gains tax which is different from the rest of us mere mortals. Since, it is an asset being sold its mechanics will work different and not include your usual real estate arrangements. AKA: MC will keep more money. She could be using it to pay off debts, it's possible, but she also may not. She will be just fine. (Friday 17 April 2026; 09:25)

Lessen the creative control debate (113,614) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC's creative control over her songwriting and song production is hindering her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It is something to think about as the reason why she doesn't receive the recognition for her songwriting abilities like she should in the music industry. If she would collaborate with more established pop, rock, and country songwriters and producers, I think it would open up more possibilities for MC to be seen as a "rock and roll" artist to all of these industry committees and academies. This is the reason why MC was not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a third time. Sometimes an artist has to play the industry game and psych them out into noticing what an artist can do musically with their songwriting abilities. Santana did it. Jon Batiste did it. Taylor Swift has been doing it for her last five albums. MC has played it "safe" in this music industry for far too long. It is time for her to do the inconceivable on her next album. They would surely take notice at a Ashley Gorley, Ryan Tedder, Sia or Jack Antonoff collaboration. A Max Martin or David Garcia solely produced album would make them take more notice too.

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,627) by Nikki from usa If she sells that location then what is she going to do with her helicopter? Unless that was sold awhile ago. Exactly, how much was her staff stealing from her? It was for a single woman in the city. I'm sure it was fine for the kids, but they're teens now and will be leaving the nest soon. Maybe she wants a smaller place or she's thinking of sending them off to college. Tuition and gas can be expensive. She still has that million dollar home in Capri. Will that be the new residence? (Friday 17 April 2026; 08:20)

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,626) by Lainsky from Philippines Somehow, I believe what you said, Randy, about these possible reasons. I have a few true friends, who indirectly or secretly mocks me for loving Mariah for her diva-ness. They even calls me "the diva like Mariah" in a loving way, though. From a psychodynamic perspective, the mentioned behaviors could be coming from a deep, painful childhood past. We are shaped by our life experiences and how people treated us. And sometimes, we act as if we are entitled to behave this way or that way because we deserve it or something like that, without knowing the effect these behaviors have on the people around us. For a private individual, it may work, you know, just being true to yourself without worrying too much about other people. However, for a public figure like Mariah Carey, it may work against her, as it has. It's sad for a lamb like me, like us. While she or we cannot please everybody or gain everyone's respect, we can choose to respect everyone through our behavior toward others. The quote, "respect begets respect", is flawed. If Mariah or us, wants to be respected, we should respect everyone regardless of who they are or their background. I mean, look at Keanu Reeves, he has a traumatic past, but he is highly respected by people for respecting everyone. (Friday 17 April 2026; 06:49) this is a reply to message 113,619

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,619) by Randy from USA I called this when they first nominated her this go round. I don't know what bubble a lot of you live in but I'm with the general public non-Mariah fans all the time. They think she's a joke. The lighting. The guy holding her umbrella. Her good side. We are talking about the greatest recording artist that ever lived and yet she's so afraid of her voice that she uses any topic she can to avoid talking about singing of being asked to sing impromptu. I'm thrilled that the full Divas 98 section is making its way around when Aretha asked the divas to come out there with her and sing. Celine wasn't showing off. She was doing what she was asked to and could do. Mariah came out too and sounded subpar. Oh wait she has nodules, it was too hot, it was too cold, she didn't get enough sleep, the humidifier quit without two weeks notice. All of these topics Mariah holds dear makes her look like a joke. Mariah has delivered her best album in 16 years and it hurts me that she was out there promoting it and it still didn't do well. I saw that MusicCares tribute and I was heartbroken she had to sit through that. It shows how little the industry cares for her by the lack of planning and seriousness they put into that. Joan Crawford was one of the brightest stars of the 1920s 1930s and 1940s. She died alone and penniless because of her diva antics and eccentricities. People look as her as a joke and if you ask someone about her now all they know is No More Wire Hangers. Yall will attack me for this post and the comparison. Truth is, I want Mariah to win. But it is evident why they have passed her over three times for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They don't respect her. And who do I blame for that? Mariah. Because that 20 year old girl in the outtakes in The First Vision is loveable, humble and relatable. She would be in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. (Thursday 16 April 2026; 14:31)

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,625) by Stacey from USA Well written post, except for that last paragraph. While I absolutely agree MC should have addressed her vocal issues post-Butterfly, I don't agree with not singing anymore. I can't imagine life without TEOM, Lead the Way possibly never seeing the light of day, etc. My kids would have missed their favorite summer tune: the You Don't Know song. I hear you, though. Being in denial is worse than just coming out and addressing vocal issues and moving past it. (Friday 17 April 2026; 04:02) this is a reply to message 113,623

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,623) by Bill from the UK What's poignant about this post is that in her early Tommy years, Mariah craved the respect that Mary J Blige got. What was heartbreaking, was that she already had it. When I attended the London Daydream tour (not sure if I've ever mentioned it before), Sting, George Michael, and many other musicians were in attendance. She was revered for her singing, able to craft great pop songs that turned into hits, reinvented the remix genre, welded hip hop and pop together, and inspired a generation with her singing technique which is still mimicked to this day. Why she felt the need to descend from the beauty and elegance of Butterfly to the throwaway plastic Barbie look is beyond me. I believe that had she hung up her malfunctioning ear monitor after Butterfly and made no more albums, citing the loss of her voice as the reason why, she would have been inducted years ago. She should have bowed out gracefully to concentrate on songwriting and production the moment she realised she had to fake it to make it. (Thursday 16 April 2026; 21:57)

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,624) by Bobby A from United States Very well said, Randy. MC lost elegance and individuality after she divorced Tommy. Although he was not the husband she wanted him to be, we could always count on him to make MC perform with so much artistry and grace. After the Butterfly album, MC lost that artistry and grace. Hopefully, she can get it back by herself because I don't think she would allow someone with Tommy's business sense to guide her career ever again. MC just needs that second win in her career with one last great album and world tour. (Friday 17 April 2026; 02:57) this is a reply to message 113,623

The general public doesn't like the image. So the music gets to the background.

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,617) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This makes me so sad. This property didn't just feel like a property, it had a very symbolic meaning to Mariah. She talked about how when her mom used to drive her to the city as a kid she would dream of one day owning a home with views of the Empire State Building and then she achieved that. So it kind of symbolized her accomplishing her childhood dream and her making it big. This was also her safe haven for the first time because after having a traumatic childhood, followed by having to sleep on the kitchen floor of her friend's apartment during her struggle days and then being trapped in "Sing Sing" Mansion with Motolla, this was the first time she had her own peace in her own space that she owned independently. Also NY is where Mariah's heart is. Lastly it is iconic because of the Cribs episode and being on AD magazine. I honestly thought Mariah might sell everything but never this. So I'm quite sad to see this and I hope everything is ok with her. (Wednesday 15 April 2026; 04:30)

Lessen the creative control debate (113,614) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC's creative control over her songwriting and song production is hindering her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It is something to think about as the reason why she doesn't receive the recognition for her songwriting abilities like she should in the music industry. If she would collaborate with more established pop, rock, and country songwriters and producers, I think it would open up more possibilities for MC to be seen as a "rock and roll" artist to all of these industry committees and academies. This is the reason why MC was not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a third time. Sometimes an artist has to play the industry game and psych them out into noticing what an artist can do musically with their songwriting abilities. Santana did it. Jon Batiste did it. Taylor Swift has been doing it for her last five albums. MC has played it "safe" in this music industry for far too long. It is time for her to do the inconceivable on her next album. They would surely take notice at a Ashley Gorley, Ryan Tedder, Sia or Jack Antonoff collaboration. A Max Martin or David Garcia solely produced album would make them take more notice too.

HoF (113,613) by Dave from USA Sad she didn't make it, again. She should have gotten in the first time. I feel there are industry forces against her at times like this. I know it sounds silly, but I really do think that sometimes. It doesn't help that she just doesn't/can't sing anymore. It's so heartbreaking and demoralizing when she doesn't get a huge nod like this. Here's to next year being the year. (Tuesday 14 April 2026; 20:48)

Article: Mariah not inducted into the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" again (113,612) by Travis from USA Not surprising at all and it's such a joke. Look how long it took [Cher] to get in and that was pathetic, said so herself. I know one thing, she doesn't need this single accolade to be recognized as one of the greatest artists on earth.

MOA Imperfect A (113,611) by Lighty from China I don't think it has anything to do with Kesha's performance. Still a good thing for Mariah though. (Tuesday 14 April 2026; 18:14) this is a reply to message 113,609

MOA Imperfect A (113,609) by Bobby A from United States Memoirs is seeing a huge surge on Spotify this year because Kesha performed Obsessed. So, I was thinking that Def Jam should be thinking about dropping MC's Angel's Advocate remix album on the same day as the Glitter anniversary release. Furthermore, MC's catalogue has five releases that remain on every Lambs' mind in 2026 to be released. 1 Gliiter- vinyl 2. Somebody's Ugly Daughter 3. Angels Advocate 4. The demo tape 5. Yours ft. Justin Timberlake (Tuesday 14 April 2026; 04:17)

Article: Mariah not inducted into the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" again (113,610) by Bobby A from United States It is sad that MC was not inducted again. What is going on? MC is going to have to release the Misinterpreptation of Mariah Carey filled with every genre of music that she has ever recorded for her previous albums to get the committee's attention. She covers a Queen classic and turns it into a gospel or rock song. (Tuesday 14 April 2026; 17:39)

MOA Imperfect A (113,603) by Lainsky from Philippines I have developed a new appreciation for this album. It belongs down below my Top 10 ranking or just outside of it among her albums. However, after revisiting and playing it, I created a "fantasy list" of the singles released with "fantasy ranking on the chart, including number of weeks" on the Billboard Hot 100. The live versions of IWTKWLI are better than the album cut. And "Imperfect" should have been included and released as the first or second single. Yes, I allow myself to "daydream" about her songs and albums. It's one of my ways to de-stress myself. Here's my "fantasy MOAIA". 1. Obsessed (No.7) 2. Imperfect (No.1, 13 weeks) 3. Standing O (No.1, 7 weeks) 4. HATE U (No.1, 5 weeks) 5. Up Out My Face (No.4) 6. I Want To Know What Love Is (No.2 or No.1 for a week) 7. More Than Just Friends (Top 40) 8. Inseparable (Top 40) Just sharing, I also have a fantasy list for her other albums. And yes, it happened in that alter universe. (Monday 13 April 2026; 05:37)

MC17 (113,608) by TJ from Norway I think it is sad that she didn't go pop earlier. Why follow the flow, when you can make the way? I really, really hope that she is done with RnB. I know I am. (Monday 13 April 2026; 22:07) this is a reply to message 113,605

MC17 (113,605) by Giovanni from USA I don't know if I asked this before so if I did I apologize. What direction do some of you want Mariah to take with the next album? For me I would like more r&b with a touch of pop. Unfortunately r&b is kind of dead right now, most artists are doing pop/adult contemporary. Mariah was able to pull off r&b with Caution so maybe she could do it again but I think she needs something like "Beautiful" or "Dreamlover". I heard Pharrell Williams was contacted by a legendary female artist so I wonder if it was Mariah, Beyonce or someone else? I just hope the next album makes more noise and doesn't have anymore 2 minute songs lol. (Monday 13 April 2026; 05:56)
