Glitter anniversary (113,924) by Bobby A from United States

Do you think MC is creating a Glitter anniversary album unlike any of her other anniversary albums? This is the first time that I can't even predict what she may include with anniversary release. I just know that she never included any previous producers to help her with creating her previous anniversary albums.

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,923) by Syed from UK

Thank you so much Carlos, I really appreciate the feedback

I hope someday I can make a difference with it and pay Mariah's gift of "hope" forward in other languages, to people in third world countries especially, who've never heard a "Hero" or "Make It Happen" before. Or maybe they did hear but weren't able to comprehend what the lyrics meant.

Ok yes, I see what you mean. Not sure what happened. If you type "We hid 40 Mariah Carey songs" in YouTube search, it will come up. Basically, I created a 3-minute video for my beauty brands' 15th anniversary. Mariah's words of encouragement/hope through her music are the sole reason I persevered through the tough times with it (and there were many of them), so to pay tribute to Mariah, I wanted to weave some of her song titles into the script - since there would be no brand story without her. It's funny, unless you were told beforehand, you wouldn't have a clue when watching it. It's been fun though, there's a scoreboard up for announcing who's found the most hidden songs. Keeps me busy.

Stacey I love what you've written in your last post, it's simple yet beautiful. It's also a relief to see someone openly mention their concern for Mariah's mental health. I started noticing something isn't right with her several years back and mentioned this on another forum or group (can't remember which) and it didn't go down too well. This is why I said and will say again. What a breath of fresh air MCA is.

MusicfanJ 100% yes. If you watch Mariah when she performs at Proctor's Theatre in 1993, she is so full of life and joy. It's almost magnetic. For me personally the saddest thing is that she has given so much hope and love, and she deserves to receive that back tenfold. I hope she gets a lot of love from her friends and from her children. I see someone who for a long time has been increasingly trying to fill their lives with "things" to fill a void inside. But as anyone who understands psychology will know, it can never be filled like that. I wish her healing and contentment. Lord knows she deserves it.

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,922) by MusicfanJ from Germany

"It's all for the gram and likes and access to networks." That's what I think. I doubt that they are real close friends. I can't stand the Kardashians, they seem like typical nouveau riche. Maybe the mother Kardashian is nice to MC, but it feels a bit strange and fake for me. Why not meeting Cher? She could also be like a mother to MC. Lol.

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,921) by Carlos from United Kingdom

Syed, your song is very touching from the short clip I heard. It's quite "old school" which I like as not a fan of modern music and I can hear the Mariah influence in it. Can I ask what is the "40 Hidden Mariah songs challenge" you spoke about in your first post? You stated we can catch it here but there was nothing I could see in the post.

Meds / Andrea (113,920) by Carlos from United Kingdom

I never thought of that. I read maybe on here or another forum that "survived a gruesome fall" was Mariah referencing her marriage to Mottola. But this take makes perfect sense too. I hope she releases another memoir. There was a lot of things she did not cover. Also references like "gruesome fall" and other things we have been wondering about which took place after the book release could be explained in it.

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,918) by ADAM from USA

I think Mariah is obsessed with status. She wants to be viewed as A-list at all times. James Packer was her fianc�e because he was a billionaire and that was an obvious flex. Kris Jenner is A-list in Hollywood for a long time so the associate makes sense. I don't think in reality any of these Hollywood friendships are really deep. It's all for the gram and likes and access to networks. Mariah seems only interested in her looks and wealth since her voice is gone.

MC needs someone who will stick by her side through it all. She may see Kris as a motherly figure who understands heartbreak and being a public figure.

They're neighbors in Calabasas. Kris was one of the people Mariah sent her book to. We can assume she's aware of MC's lack of family support growing up and so I actually appreciated when she rallied the whole entire Kardashian clan to see a Christmas show. Kris' own words: "I'm so blessed and grateful for our friendship." We'll probably just leave it at that. They seem sweet and they really show up for you.

Given the concerns we have for MC's mental health, I think I'd be more worried if Mariah chose to isolate herself rather then spending time with friends. I hope she enjoyed her night out with Kris.

Meds / Andrea (113,914) by Lara from Middle East

Well, we never know the extent of that injury. Seems it affected her much more than what is shown, I think there are some parallels with Michael Jackson Pepsi incident and how it made him dependent on pain killers. Maybe that on top of her bipolar was a hard combo for her to handle. I think that's why I've always seen her singing "survived a gruesome fall" in Nothing is Impossible from HFIA album as a literal description of that 2013 incident.

1992 Interview (113,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany

For me she seemed the most happy during that time. The early years. Then from 97-99 she seemed also very happy and carefree. So before and after Tommy.

As I always say they were a fantastic team for business (perfect) but not good for the private life. I always wonder what would have happened if they had never been a couple and married. Just business partners. We'll never know, but somehow I think some things would be better now.

Music Box tour (MSG) (113,912) by Billy from Greece

I was revisiting this concert today. Such a force vocally, a generational talent no doubt. When she breaks into the club remix of "Dreamlover" and starts vibing and adlibbing, wow, what a time to be young and experience that concert. She's practically jogging on stage while belting out. So nostalgic watching her so young and delivering at the max of her powers.

I saw this video, too. And yes, I also asked the same question. Good times, before being married to Tommy, she was so relaxed and happy.

Where is the key for stamina, motivation and good music? (113,910) by Zachariah from Croatia

I think that's a bit unfair. We only see a very small part of her life through media and social networks, so it's hard to know what truly motivates her or who she spends time with. An artist's value isn't measured only by how often they release new music or whether they're constantly in the spotlight. Everyone goes through different phases in their career and personal life.

It's fine to prefer artists who are actively creating new work, but that doesn't necessarily mean someone has lost their talent or motivation. Sometimes what we see publicly doesn't reflect what's happening behind the scenes.

Respectfully, none of us really know her personal motivations or the people she spends time with. Public appearances don't tell the whole story. Talent doesn't disappear just because an artist isn't releasing music at the pace some fans would like, and comparing different artists' careers isn't always a fair measure of success.

You're assuming a lot based on limited public appearances. Being seen dining out doesn't define a person's character, work ethic, or talent. Artists have different career paths, and not everyone needs to follow the same model as Kylie Minogue, Patti LaBelle, or Madonna to remain relevant or successful.

Meds / Andrea (113,906) by Giovanni from USA

I'm so over Mariah being doped up on the meds, it's so sad and cringe. No other artist or celebrity is as robotic and controlled as she is. I mean if that's what it takes to contain her bipolar disorder it's not worth it. She is not even the same Mariah 6 years ago. Also that Andrea woman that is always with her needs to chill. I get that she's doing her job and is earning her paycheck but when I saw a clip of Mariah talking with Kim K she couldn't even have a conversation because Andrea popped up and was giving the hint to Mariah to move along. Is she with her 24/7? Does anyone else agree with me?

Where is the key for stamina, motivation and good music? (113,905) by nancy from Switzerland

It is better if MC hangs out with less superficial people. Those encounters have a impact on her image, stamina and her motivation lately. True legends are known for their talent not only because of their dresses. Kylie Minogue, Patti Labelle, Madonna still are making new music. It seems that the only motivation is her looks and to sing her old stuff. And it is not even live anymore most of the time.The only presence that we see is when she gets out to eat. I hope she finds the key to reopen her talent and her motivation.

No no dear Bobby A, I love reading your posts because you're always hopeful and positive about everything.

I was just saying that based on Mariah's recent collaborations of the past few years with Ari, Latto, etc. None of those made any big splashes.

I am just hopeful for it. Lighty, what message of mine last year did I lose my creditability with you? Just joking, but you have been calling me out a lot lately. I don't make crazy predictions like I did during the Memoirs and MIAM eras. Lol. I ponder over my posts now before I hit the submit button.
