About Giovanni from USA: Big music lover who loves Mimi.

Brandy (113,511) by Giovanni from USA Congratulations to Brandy on her Hollywood Walk of Fame star. She deserves it and I'm glad she got one. Brandy is an r&b legend and "Have you ever" is still one of my favorites. I wish she and Mariah had collaborated because they're [sic] voices blend so well together. Mariah could have easily done "I wanna be down" and Brandy "The roof". (Tuesday 31 March 2026; 06:13)

Crybaby (113,510) by Giovanni from USA Ugh MC went off in this song. Those vocals are so good and some of her best. Damizza did his thing too with the beat and production. I don't care for Snoop Dogg though lol. One of my favorites from Rainbow. I heard Ariana's next album was inspired by Rainbow and Butterfly, we shall see. (Tuesday 31 March 2026; 05:57)

Rainbow interlude (113,499) by Giovanni from USA Hearing Mariah sing a little snippet of the Rainbow interlude was everything, she sounded good and looked happy. I hope she had a good "anniversary". (Monday 30 March 2026; 02:37)

2026 (113,498) by Giovanni from USA All these rumored projects are a little exciting. I just hope MC works on her voice because I wanna see her thrive. I really think if she took it easy on the meds, drinking and worked with a vocal coach she could remain some of that angelic tone and range. It has been very interesting seeing a lot of artists express their love and admiration for her. MC still has it she just needs to work for it if she wants it. If anything she can definitely win another Grammy and have more amazing live performances. (Monday 30 March 2026; 02:35)

Happy Anniversary (113,479) by Giovanni from USA Happy Anniversary Mariah, I hope you have another good one and wish you many more. Your voice is legendary and nobody will ever top it. (Friday 27 March 2026; 20:26)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,462) by Giovanni from USA Mariah needs someone like you on her team. I like your thinking and yes I definitely want another Christmas album. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 15:33) this is a reply to message 113,460

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,460) by Zachariah from Croatia 1. Do the vocal surgery. Even if it means losing her high pitches, I really don't care. Talent can not be surgically removed and she can sing in a different voice. 2. Release SUD. Hard. With rejuvenated self. With a new voice. 3. Tone down the diva attitude and connect with every day people. 4. New Christmas hit with rock vibes. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 14:28)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,461) by Giovanni from USA Yes to everything you posted. I wish you were a part of Mariah's team or circle so you could give her all your ideas and suggestions. I have been wanting Mariah to work with Pharell again. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 15:24) this is a reply to message 113,459

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,459) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking today after hearing T.I.'s Let 'Em Know that MC needs to get back into the studio with Pharrell this year. I know he can give MC a fresh beat that could make Hot 100 radio play MC again. 1. MC's needs another DJ Mustard collaboration. 2. I would love another collaboration with Ariana Grande produced by Nova Wav. 3. Where is our long overdue JD collaboration? It could be the song that becomes her 20th #1 song easily with a Chris Brown and Justin Beiber feature. 4. MC needs a movie theme song next year. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 11:51)

2012 Mariah on GMA talking about Whitney and healthcare (113,458) by Giovanni from USA I wish Mariah would go back to this look for 2026. I like the hair short and I love the style of dress. It reminds me of the dress she's wearing on the back cover of the debut album. Also you can hear how younger and clearer her talking voice was compared to now. Some of her best looks and moments were from 2012 and 2013. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 04:27)

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,442) by Giovanni from USA I definitely think the meds have played a role in Mariah's voice decline as well as the drinking and lack of rest. I really wish she would ditch those meds honestly. I'm hoping she does something before the release of her next album. As I've said before her voice sounds way better on Caution than on Here For It All. (Friday 20 March 2026; 21:29) this is a reply to message 113,441

Charmbracelet to Caution vocals compared (113,441) by Bobby A from United States Happy Friday everyone. I have a vocal decline theory. I think I have figured out what caused MC's vocal decline from Glitter to Caution. Before Charmbracelet, MC's voice could relatively bounce back from vocal fatigue after vocal rest. However, when she started taking her bipolar medication after the Glitter album was completed, this is when we could hear a dramatic change in her voice with each post Glitter album. Caution gave us the most dramatic and noticable change in her voice that we had seen prior to HFIA in 2025. In my opinion, it has to be the bipolar medication that has caused MC's vocal decline. Her speaking voice has been affected as well. You can definitely hear how MC's speaking voice is coarse and not as fluid at times like it was 20 years ago during the TEOM era. Can someone elaborate more with an analysis of my theory that her bipolar medication is the real catalyst that caused her vocal decline? (Friday 20 March 2026; 10:14)

Amerie I Thing / Touch album (113,440) by Giovanni from USA Amerie's "I thing" [sic] is still such a banger in 2026. It will forever be one of the best hits of 2005 and man 2005 was such a great year for albums and music. I remember buying Amerie's album and how much I enjoyed it. She definitely deserved that Grammy nomination but our girl Mimi took it. Touch is one of my favorite albums and Amerie is such an amazing talent and she deserved so much more success. If you listen to the song "Just like me" you can hear Mariah all over that song. We need to bring back 2005 and 2002 r&b again because music today is kind of boring. I'm really having high expectations for MC17. (Friday 20 March 2026; 09:06)

Risk it all Bruno Mars (113,439) by Giovanni from USA I agree Lainsky, how are you doing by the way? I enjoy your posts and love my Filipino lambs. (Friday 20 March 2026; 08:50) this is a reply to message 113,436

Risk it all Bruno Mars (113,436) by Lainsky from Philippines I agree. I posted it before the first time I heard of this song when it was released. My All came into my mind first, and Toni's Spanish Guitar. After Tonight, yes, since it is another My All attempt for Rainbow. I love Risk It All. (Friday 20 March 2026; 03:20)

Risk it all Bruno Mars (113,438) by Giovanni from USA I agree, I so want her to record this song lol. I think she could pull it off nicely. There's just something about MC and the Spanish guitar. We got a little taste again with Caution in "Giving me life". (Friday 20 March 2026; 08:40) this is a reply to message 113,433

Risk it all Bruno Mars (113,433) by Bobby A from United States So true. When I first heard Risk It All, it immediately made me think about how MC's buttery tone and alto voice shines through when she sings latin-influenced songs. (Thursday 19 March 2026; 18:28)

Risk it all Bruno Mars (113,432) by Giovanni from USA I don't know about any of you but this sounds like a song Mariah could sing today. It definitely would suit her current voice and I like it a lot. I think Bruno's new album is okay, nothing special. "I just might" has grown on me and I like it now but "Risk it all" reminds me so much of Mariah. (Thursday 19 March 2026; 08:28)

Can't let go / Prisoner (113,431) by Giovanni from USA It's nice to see "Can't let go" get some love and wouldn't it be so cool if we made it go viral, stream it and get it to chart lol. Can a past song make it on Billboard? Definitely should have been a hit. Also I played "Prisoner" a couple of times. It definitely should have been another single and could have been another number one for MC. It's so 1990 and Mariah's vocals and rap verses are fire. I can't believe how young she was and was able to sound so amazing and write and produce at that age. I think the music video would have been MC walking around NYC at night. Anyways I will always love her 1990 curls and how shy she was. Definitely the best debut album out of any female artist. I absolutely love the album cover as well, one of her best. (Thursday 19 March 2026; 08:23)

Sugar Sweet (113,430) by Giovanni from USA Yup I still love SS and it could have been a hit. Mariah needs to start having more lyrics in her songs lol and stop making them so short. SS needed another Mariah verse but overall the production was good. (Thursday 19 March 2026; 08:13)

Hair by Ariana Grande (113,410) by Giovanni from USA I often wish this song was Mariah's too lol. I think the production and lyrics are fire. A little too short for my taste by good nonetheless. I would love to hear Mimi sing a snippet like she did of "Cry baby" in 2018. I hope she really brings the production like she did with Caution for MC17. (Monday 16 March 2026; 09:07)

Can't Let Go (113,408) by Giovanni from USA No Tommy stole the thunder from "Can't let go". He was more concerned about album sales than hit songs. "Can't let go" should have definitely joined Mariah's list of number ones. (Monday 16 March 2026; 06:24) this is a reply to message 113,405

Can't Let Go (113,405) by tadatorao from japan I wish it was. For 34 years it has saddened me that it stalled at number two. I ain't asking much, just one week was enough. Personally I always think I'll Be There has stolen the thunder from Can't Let Go. (Monday 16 March 2026; 01:58)

Lee Daniels (113,407) by Giovanni from USA In an interview in 2018 Mariah was asked would she ever act again and she mentioned a project with Lee Daniels? Does anyone know what happened? Is it still in the works? (Monday 16 March 2026; 06:20)

Where life begins Madonna (113,406) by Giovanni from USA I appreciate your response and enjoy your posts but it is sad when legends get old. Their voices are a shadow of what they used to be. Beyonce is still young but even her voice doesn't exactly sound like Dangerously In Love Beyonce, it's so much deeper now. Second as they age they get closer to death which sucks. In my opinion 2009 Mariah would blow most of today's singers out of the water. Beyonce is the only singer who I can think of that posed a threat to Mariah vocally especially after 2013. I have a love hate relationship with Beyonce but there's no doubt she's really that girl when it comes to vocals and sheer power. Her Super Bowl Halftime show showed that and impressed me a lot. With that being said Mariah still holds the title for best female voice and nobody will ever top her. I'm glad she's still here but I don't want to get any older.

Where life begins Madonna (113,402) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like some songs of Madonna. I've never been a fan, but I like her early hits and "Ray of light". "Frozen" was huge back then, it's my favourite. "Hung up" was fun too. But I don't think it's sad that the legends are getting old. It's sad, if they die young, like Heath Ledger, Amy, the "Club 27". It's cool that Cher and Madonna are still here and doing their thing. Or look at Ringo Starr and Tom Jones. They are still "cool guys". As long as an "oldie" is fit and healthy, it's not sad at all. And to age naturally [doesn't] take away the charisma. I love Helen Mirren and Andie McDowell for the natural lifestyle. Mrs. Presley is spooky for me, I don't like "masks". That's a bit sad, if someone can't age. An old Robert Redford had still more charisma than all the youngsters. I miss him and his wonderful talent as an actor. (Sunday 15 March 2026; 14:18)

Where life begins Madonna (113,396) by Giovanni from USA I'm a fan of Madonna, not a mega fan but a fan of some of her songs, and I often fantasize about "Where life begins" being Mariah's song instead haha. I know it's kind of explicit but who gives a damn Mariah is no angel and she's had some saucy lyrics herself. I love this song mainly because of the music it's very addictive and so 90's. Erotica was ahead of its time and Madonna is definitely a legend. I also miss her youthful appearance. She was very beautiful during the early 90's especially during the Bedtime Stories era. It's sad how so many music legends are getting old. (Saturday 14 March 2026; 10:54)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (113,395) by Giovanni from USA I hope y'all been voting for Mariah as I have. I saw the nominations and honestly other than Phil Collins Mariah definitely deserves it the most. I didn't bother voting for anyone other than Mimi. (Saturday 14 March 2026; 10:40)

Diva persona / the voice (113,394) by Giovanni from USA I don't mind the diva persona or attitude. I can see how some might not like it but it's never bothered me, what bothers me is the voice. I do admit I miss the Mariah who wasn't on meds and the Mariah who could belt strong and keep Beyonce in her place lol. I realize Mariah is 56 and past her prime and has nothing to prove. I just want her to sound decent on future albums. The nodules has gotten worse with age but I will no longer mention getting them removed because it's more easy for me to say. It's not my voice and being put under the knife would have me a little scared. I think rest and discipline is the only thing we can ask for at this point. I do want another album asap as I've been having Caution and Here For It All on a loop. (Saturday 14 March 2026; 10:31)

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. (Wednesday 11 March 2026; 21:19)

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)
