Edward (113,389) by Stacey from USA Another day where another "yass queen" fan refuses to take off their rose colored glasses and face reality. Time to pull off the bandaid, dahhhling. (Friday 13 March 2026; 22:45) this is a reply to message 113,381

Edward (113,381) by Steven Berning from USA Another day where another pompous, self entitled "fan" tells Mariah everything she is doing wrong. Not insulting at all dahhhling. (Friday 13 March 2026; 07:37)

M.E. (Mariah and Edward) (113,388) by Randy from USA I agree with a lot of what Edward says. I got tired of Mariah's image and personality, which is sad to me because I used to live for her interviews. I used to have VHS tapes and I used to tape every interview she did. Now it's the same old, same old - the lighting, the gowns, the unreleased album, the 500 hours of beauty school. I don't know if you know this or not but I write all of my songs. What helped me when I became most negative about Mariah was just listening to the music. I feel like I'm a broken record at times because I say the same things, but as someone who is bipolar and have emotionally struggled for decades - when I listen to a languishing a through the rain a close my eyes I really feel like I have not been singled out for suffering, that this type of pain is common in the human experience. When I listen to a through the rain, an anytime you need a friend a nothing is impossible. I know that my suffering is temporary and whatever light at the end of a very dark tunnel is approaching or whatever goal I want to attain is within grasp and I can go on. I seem to care less about Mariah and more about the music these days and don't get me wrong. I don't want anything bad to happen to Mariah. I had a front row seat to Whitney, Michael and Prince, but what I will say is that loving her as an icon, diva, artist has kind of taken the back row seat on an extended bus and what's up front with me and the driver is the music.

Article: Mariah on Rock Hall nomination, Glitter and lost grunge album (113,387) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well, that was a nice, little and honest interview. "What was it that made you feel like you shouldn't have done it?" MC: Because it was a disastrous flop. [laughs] That was funny. I really hope this time Mariah gets to the Rock and Roll of Fame Hall. I still love Glitter (always had since its release) and it's good to know that Mariah finally loves it again. (Friday 13 March 2026; 17:29)

Edward (113,386) by Shezz from Pk I agree in most parts, but I don't think she is going to change her act now at the tail end of her career nearing 60. She's at the point in her career where she feels like she's done what she's needed to do, has lost the fans she's lost and as much as she wants commercial success, she's not going to change who she has become to get it. I can deal with the diva persona as long as she looks like she still has life in her eyes and some fire left in her soul. Until she gets there again she should only do print interviews and photo shoots. I hope her rumored collaborations with Rihanna and Sza are true and that they're not remixes. If they are, they're probably going to be on their albums and not saved another few years for MC17. (Friday 13 March 2026; 17:18) this is a reply to message 113,380

Edward (113,380) by Edward from USA Hi Bobby A, I'm good, thanks for asking. I hope you're doing well too. I actually meant to reply to one of your posts the other day but never got around to it. One thing I can tell is that the problem with Mariah is Mariah herself. If she doesn't start presenting herself in a more relatable way, she's basically done in the music business, aside from Christmas of course. The issue isn't really the music. As I was telling Randy, the bigger problem is the image she keeps projecting. The tired old "diva" persona has become repetitive and it feels out of touch with reality. What the new generation see in her is an overproduced, heavily styled diva image that feels distant and unrelatable. The gowns, the restrictive corsets, the layers of makeup, the constant entourage, it creates a wall between her and the audience. At some point she needs to drop the armor and just be more real and accessible. People today connect with authenticity much more than with the old-school diva mystique. If she showed more of the real person instead of the image, a younger audience might actually connect with her. (Thursday 12 March 2026; 21:35)

Edward (113,385) by Edward from USA Tell me you are a "yass queen" without telling me you are a "yass queen". As for your glittery pom-poms? Vintage, so adorable. (Friday 13 March 2026; 14:55) this is a reply to message 113,381

Edward (113,384) by Bobby A from United States Awesome. I am glad you are doing well. I am excited about my relocation back to Nashville this summer. Anyway, don't stay gone so long.

Glitter at 25: I love it then, I love it now (113,382) by Lainsky from Philippines Mariah Carey trends in X with Glitter on its 25th anniversary this year. The headline says, "Mariah Carey now embraces her once-hated Glitter album". The news says, "She's excited for a deluxe reissue this year for its 25th anniversary, including remastered videos, while teasing her unreleased 1995 grunge album and new music." I love it back in 2001 and I love it even more now. It's currently my second all-time favorite album, only next to Butterfly, of course. (Friday 13 March 2026; 12:16)

Jeses I do (113,376) by Giovanni from USA I love JID and it's one of the highlights of Here For It All for me. It's very well written and produced. I wish MC would at least be nominated for the Gospel category. I think she should work with Kirk Franklin and see what they can make together. A full length gospel album is long overdue, but sadly I don't think MC has the vocals for that unless she gets her voice back. I definitely think a gospel album would do well and help her career.

Jesus I Do (#11 Gospel) / Nothing Is Impossible (#25 Adult Pop) Billboard (113,372) by Belinda Vasquez from USA I'm not quite sure why nobody is talking about this on the board right now, but currently on Billboard, Jesus I Do has reached a new peak of #11 on Billboard Gospel Airplay and Nothing Is Impossible continues to climb this week at #25 on Billboard Adult Pop Airplay. Also, the fact that Jesus I Do was nominated for two NAACP Awards last month and nobody discussed that on this board either nor a news post about it is disheartening. (Tuesday 10 March 2026; 15:33)

Jesus I Do (#11 Gospel) / Nothing Is Impossible (#25 Adult Pop) Billboard (113,374) by Lainsky from Philippines This is indeed great news. Thank you for sharing. At this point in her career, it is. But unfortunately, I only keep up with The Billboard Hot 100 and 200. NII should be officially released with a music video; it could perform well, as it is an inspirational song similar to "Hero" and the likes. As for "Jesus I Do", that's not surprising at all.

Jesus I Do (#11 Gospel) / Nothing Is Impossible (#25 Adult Pop) Billboard (113,373) by Bobby A from United States Welcome Belinda. We are all excited about how songs from HFIA continue to receive radio airplay after six months. Does your airplay chart source list the radio stations playing JID and NII? I would love to listen a radio station playing them both on my phone. V103 in Atlanta sounds so good on my phone. (Tuesday 10 March 2026; 18:29) this is a reply to message 113,372

Healing words (113,371) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, please tell MC that I like reading on social media about what she may be releasing this year and the possible Sza and Rihanna collaborations. Also, tell MC let AIWFCIY do what it is going to do without any Christmas shows this year. I want her to promote SUD and The Rarities II this fall. One more thing, I would love for MC to have a Patti Labelle or Chaka Kahn sit down interview with Terrell Grice of The Terrell Show on YouTube. It would be a fun and interesting interview for 2026.

Healing words (113,370) by Lambi from USA In Mariah's own words, "She said a couple things to me that was very healing for what I needed," in reference to her mom's last words to her. We will never know what Pat uttered to MC, as those are sacred words reserved only for her. But with the amount of love she has shown for her mother, "I want to honor her for giving me the gift of music." We can assume it's a reinvigoration Mariah's never felt before. They say a part of you dies the moment your mother passes. And from personal friends' accounts (I haven't experienced it), it's ringing to be true. They also say that the reverse of it is a need to carry what your mother gave you forward. In Mimi's case, that gift was music. This is a huge contrast from what she once wrote: "My career was everything to me, and because of my mother, my brother, and Tommy Mottola, it was nearly taken away. Honestly, it felt like they almost killed me." (An excerpt from her memoir.) I believe Mariah went right back to being Patricia's light. "You've always been the light of my life." Her last words seemingly lit a fire inside our girl. To witness Mariah's drive during HFIA's rollout was amazing to watch. That is what reconciliation does to a wounded child. She must've been made to feel like the biggest star. It was truly incredible to see an almost 60-year-old reinvigorated about her career and promote a record like she is a debuting artist. Mariah is obviously diseased by the immense trauma that comes with Hollywood, but she is not letting that stop her from honoring what her mother breathed through her as a child: music. She is so obviously proud to be part of Pat's legacy and is doing the absolute most to keep her mama proud. I could cry about it. Mariah's calling prevailed, and the gift of music her mother nurtured in her spirit continues to pour out into the world. Forget what Pat did wrong and forget the numbers. Ultimately the gift of God won and we are all so unbelievably blessed by it. I am honestly just so thankful at this point and what ever comes next for MC, I will be here for it all.

Article: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveils 2026 nominees (113,369) by Travis from USA I have a feeling that this might be ongoing before Mariah is finally inducted in and I believe that some of the other musicians that have been inducted in already didn't deserve it yet and it's sad. (Sunday 8 March 2026; 04:02)

Nostalgia (113,368) by Lainsky from Philippines I have been dreaming about her next release sounding like her music from the 90s and being titled "Nostalgia", "Old School", or "Classics" - though I have a slight preference for the first one. It would be great to have a pop album with an R&B flavor, reminiscent of the old Mariah, even if she doesn't consider herself a pop artist. I envision the lead single featuring a sound similar to "Dreamlover", followed by a powerful ballad akin to "Always Be My Baby" or "Shake It Off". Additionally, it would be amazing to have a fantastic remake of an 80s song, like "Break It to Me Gently", and an inspirational gospel song, complete with great remixes. Well, this is just a wish. (Saturday 7 March 2026; 11:19)

MOAIA (113,367) by Lainsky from Philippines Yes, "Imperfect" should have been included on the album. It would have made an excellent lead single, followed by "Standing O", "HATE U", "Obsessed", "IWTKWLI", "UOMF", and concluding with "More Than Just Friends" or "Angel's Cry". Additionally, the album would have been better titled simply "Imperfect" or "Imperfect Angel" to align with her tradition of using one or two words for album titles. Lately, I've been revisiting this album with those songs in that order, along with some others. I've also been enjoying E=MC˛ recently. (Saturday 7 March 2026; 11:10) this is a reply to message 113,363

MOAIA (113,363) by Giovanni from USA I agree, the release of Angels Advocate is long overdo. Also the close up photo of Mariah on Angels Advocate is gorgeous and so much better than MOAIA album photo. LA Reid is such an idiot for keeping "Imperfect" off the album. I hope Mariah out does herself with the next album, she needs a song like "Beautiful" or "Dreamlover". If Mariah released "Dreamlover" as her newest single off her new album it would be a hit today because it's such a good song. She really should work with everybody including Walter, does anybody agree/disagree? (Friday 6 March 2026; 23:23)

Anderson .Paak (113,366) by Giovanni from USA I don't know if this is true but I read on Google that Mariah is back in the studio with Anderson and I wanna ask some of you how do you feel about it? I like "Play this song" and "In your feelings" but he failed to deliver a hit for her. "In your feelings" did good on the r&b chart despite it not being a single. Maybe Mariah can do something with Silk Sonic and she can perform with them if the song is a single. I wonder if Mariah likes them. (Friday 6 March 2026; 23:54)

Nothing Is Impossible (113,365) by Giovanni from USA I think NII is one of the best songs Mariah has written in awhile and has become a favorite of mine. She tried her best to give us classic Mariah and I give her credit for trying. NII sounds like a song that was from Rainbow or MOAIA. (Friday 6 March 2026; 23:45)
