Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,159) by BFF from United States Mariah's statistics, success, and resume speak for themselves. JD said it himself in that interview on The Breakfast Club. Kudos to JD for sticking up for her when the interviewers tried to insinuate that Mariah would not have had the comeback in 2005 without him. I remember when people tried that mess with Mariah herself and tried to insinuate that she would not have been successful without Tommy. As Mariah said on "Caution": "That's a no-no. No-no." Who cares about who got the most consecutive number ones or sent their first five or seven singles to number one? Mariah's the undisputed champ for solo artists in the United States and has the most cumulative weeks at number one for any act. And she wrote/produced on all of her number ones except for "I'll Be There". And over the next few years, she will almost certainly snatch back the record for song with most weeks at number one from Lil' Nas X and Shaboozey . They can both send her some flowers.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,156) by 4real4real from UK You are correct, this is not an echo chamber. However, an echo chamber is when existing beliefs or opinions are reinforced, not existing facts. Mariah's record is a fact which can easily be confirmed. It is not a belief or an opinion. Thank you.

Why the dislike? (111,158) by TJ from Norway It's nice to be able to have different opinions. I love that. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 11:11) this is a reply to message 111,141

Why the dislike? (111,141) by Giovanni from USA Do not come for "Don't forget about us", it's one of my favorite MC songs. The music and lyrics are very good and Mariah's voice is perfect. I actually prefer it over WBT. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:42)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,145) by Edward from USA I stand corrected, Whitney didn't send her first seven singles to #1. What she did do was send seven consecutive singles to #1, which is different, and that's a record in itself. As for "why are we talking about Whitney when it has nothing to do with Mariah's streaming party and the new album?" Simple because we can, since this board isn't an echo chamber where we can only talk about one thing. Whatever you and I post here is open to debate or opinion, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. (Friday 12 September 2025; 20:46)

Here For It All (111,154) by Dove from United States I play the tracks I want to hear first, then start from the beginning. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 02:13) this is a reply to message 111,135

Here For It All (111,135) by Bill from the UK Eddie how can you resist? I will be up at 00:00:01 on 26 September to listen to the album. It's been too long since we had new material. I can't wait to read everybody's thoughts on the album, the board will be abuzz I am sure. I'm highly anticipating "Jesus I Do", and the cover of "My Love". Question: do y'all listen to a new MC album in order, even playing tracks familiar (T-Dang and Sugar Sweet) or go straight to those tracks you want to hear first? (Friday 12 September 2025; 17:34)

Here For It All (111,153) by Edward from USA To be honest, reading through everyone's opinions helps me prepare for what to expect. For me, true listening day is September 27. And I'll listen to it in sequence, as it was intended by Miss Carey. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 02:08) this is a reply to message 111,135

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,152) by Lambi from USA Thanks for sharing. I have so much more respect for JD now. When they insinuated that Mariah's records wouldn't be as big without him, he was quick to correct them, "Nah, don't get it twisted, she's got records that are bigger than the ones I did." Basically saying Mariah is a badass with or without him, and he's just grateful she brought him along for the ride. Unlike Walter's bitter attitude: "She made up some story that she wrote AIWFCIY when she was 12." We love JD. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 01:52) this is a reply to message 111,106

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,106) by Randy from USA He starts talking about her at 30:00 on YouTube. It was a little enlightening. He claims she wants to go full out hip-hop. At one point early on she brought Cream by Wu-Tang to him and said I want to sing over that. He also said that she wanted to "rap" more over We Belong Together. I think he meant sing more with fast wordplay. He insisted on her sing that last note We Belong Together. He also said she can sing flawlessly when she wants to. She doesn't want to highlight how well she sings anymore. That kinda makes sense. I have noticed since she started having problems with her voice she wants to put emphasis on her being a songwriter or she thanks God for the gift of making music. She never wants to talk about her voice. MC doesn't want to put the effort into singing at a high level. He also says the audience wants the new Mariah records to sound like the old Mariah records. He says it's a struggle with all artists. They all want to change their sound despite the success and the brand that got them to the top. It was very interesting. In all the hoopla of promotion I thought yall may miss out on this. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 12:42)

Signed copies (111,151) by Edward from USA There's a video of Mariah signing HFIA CD inserts for sale. That's smart. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 01:48)

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (111,150) by Bobby A from United States I think I am, Eddie. It has to be the guy who works at the Apple Music data center where they key in all of the song credits for uploading on iTunes. MC has never had a hidden bonus track before. She has had only interludes and lead single remixes. (Saturday 13 September 2025; 01:17) this is a reply to message 111,149

Here For It All (111,146) by Bobby A from United States It will be dahling. It will be. I just know it. Do you remember when TEOM leaked a few days early. We showed that we were so happy here with comments. The first track will be Jesus I Do and then tracks 1-11. (Friday 12 September 2025; 22:11) this is a reply to message 111,132

Here For It All (111,132) by Edward from USA Well, we're just weeks away from finally getting "Here For It All". I'm pretty sure the album will be online a few days early, since Amazon and other retailers usually ship so fans can have it by the release day. Seven freaking years... I really hope it's been worth the wait. Even if becomes available before September 26, I won't be listening until I have fully read all the comments here from day one.

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,130) by 4real4real from UK Whitney's first singles were Hold Me with Teddy Pendergrass which reached no 46, followed by You Give Good Live which reached no 3. She did not send her first five singles to number one. This record by Mariah is a well known and well documented fact and why are we talking about Whitney when it has nothing to do with Mariah's streaming party and the new album?

Wednesday (111,144) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha, I have to watch it too. Morticia is the best. Didn't Mariah dress like her last Halloween? (Friday 12 September 2025; 19:49) this is a reply to message 111,127

Wednesday (111,127) by Lara from Middle East So I was watching season 2 of Wednesday Addams, I got serious Mariah vibes watching Morticia Addams. She has that calm, idgaf sarcastic delivery of words that reminds me so much of most Mariah's interviews. I think next Halloween she and the twins with Anderson .Paak should go for the Addams family. (Friday 12 September 2025; 15:06)

Can't let go (111,143) by Giovanni from USA I'm still so bothered by the fact that "Can't let go" did not make it to number one. It deserved to be there, thanks for nothing Tommy Mottola. (Friday 12 September 2025; 19:28) this is a reply to message 111,129

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,129) by Edward from USA "With the lead single 'Emotions' ('You're So Cold' was initially considered) she became the first and only artist ever to send her first five singles to #1 on the Hot 100. Legend behavior and it was only album #2." That information is inaccurate since Whitney Houston set a record by sending seven consecutive singles to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1985 and 1988. She broke the previous record held by The Beatles (six consecutive #1's). "Saving All My Love for You" (1985) "How Will I Know" (1986) "Greatest Love of All" (1986) "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" (1987) "Didn't We Almost Have It All" (1987) "So Emotional" (1987) "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" (1988) Mariah was getting close, she had five straight #1's before "Can't Let Go" broke the streak. If Sony hadn't pulled the single from shelves, she could have tied "The Beatles" of six consecutive #1's. But since her later Emotions singles didn't top the chart, she wouldn't have surpassed Whitney. (Friday 12 September 2025; 16:19)

Why the dislike? (111,119) by Edward from USA It's not that I dislike "Thank God I Found You", I just don't really care for it. To me, it feels generic and overcrowded, almost as if Mariah was unsuccessfully trying to recreate the magic of "One Sweet Day". While I don't think it truly deserved the #1 spot, I can admit it's still a decent song. And no, I'd never compare it to Crapfinity, that one is in a league of hideous all on its own. Mariah had a golden chance to redeem that track with the "Why You Mad Remix", ft big names of the moment like Justin Bieber, French Montana, and T.I., yet somehow the result was even worse. On the flip side, the "Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix)" is fantastic, and I believe it played a huge role in pushing the original to the top of the charts.

Why the dislike? (111,126) by TJ from Norway Thank God I Found You and Don't Forget About Us are such a snore-fest. They don't belong with the rest of the number ones. There are so many songs in Mariah's catalogue that should have reach the top spot, but didn't. These two are not the ones. (Friday 12 September 2025; 12:09)

Here For It All (111,140) by Giovanni from USA Yeah I won't be listening either until a few days after its release. I can't wait to read everyone's comments and opinions about the album. I'm a little bummed out we're only getting 11 tracks after 7 years. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:40) this is a reply to message 111,132

Why the dislike? (111,139) by Tevin from USA Sorry 4real4real, I meant to reply to your comment not BFF. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:39) this is a reply to message 111,114

Why the dislike? (111,114) by 4real4real from UK It was originally intended to be a duet with KCI and JoJo (of Jodeci) but for whatever reason that fell through. In that context the song makes perfect sense. It sounds very much like All My Life, their previous US no 1. Joe and 98 Degrees just didn’t have the same cred or vibe as Jodeci so it just came off cheesy. But the remixes are fire indeed. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 19:10)

Why the dislike? (111,138) by Tevin from USA Oh wow, I never knew that. Imagine what the song would have sounded like with the original artist in mind. Man that would have been amazing. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:39) this is a reply to message 111,113

Why the dislike? (111,113) by BFF from United States I love the original version of "Thank God I Found You". I think it would have worked better as a duet with Joe without 98 Degrees featured, but there is something very uplifting about the song's optimism. I think it fit well with what was popular in terms of late 90s and early 00s pop-soul ballads. I believe it would have gotten more radio airplay if the "Rainbow" album had received stronger promotion. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 17:22)

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,137) by Tevin from USA Ok. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing your reasoning. (Friday 12 September 2025; 18:34) this is a reply to message 111,112

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,112) by Bill from the UK Thank you for the summary. If I remember correctly, the Cream sample was originally intended for Always Be My Baby. Surprised it didn't then find its way onto the remixes JD did. As for TGIFY, I don't think anyone really dislikes it, more that amongst her number ones it's considered one of the more formulaic and basic numbers. The Make It Last remix far eclipses the original. I also felt there were too many voices on the song and it would have been better as just a duet between MC and Joe, it didn't really need 98 Degrees. (Thursday 11 September 2025; 17:06)
