Webmaster (109,597) by Haiji from United States My apologies for the long messages. I hope I didn't exceed any boundaries or broke any rules.

While we wait... (109,591) by Haiji from United States Yall feel like playing a list game? So the concept is choosing 2 non-single, favorites from each album and adding an additional 2 bonus non-album songs to create a rare compilation album. Hope I explained that correctly. I'll go first, hope yall will join in. 1. Prisoner 2. Alone In Love 3. So Cold (I actually love this song lol) 4. The Wind 5. I've Been Thinking About You 6. Everything Fades Away 7. Long Ago 8. I Am Free 9. Babydoll 10. Outside 11. How Much 12. Petals 13. If We 14. Want You 15. Yours 16. Subtle Invitation 17. So Lonely (Pt.2) 18. Joy Ride 19. Migrate 20. For The Record 21. Standing O 22. Ribbon 23. Meteorite 24. Faded 25. Caution 26. 8th Grade 27. Skydiving (the actual studio version) 28. Help Me Make It Through The Night Forgot how extensive her catalog was, thought it would be shorter lol well it is a compilation album. I omitted her Christmas albums to keep the flow of the songs going. Btw, I asked chatgpt for a list of Mariah unreleased songs to refresh my memory and I was surprised to see a few songs mentioned that I've never even heard of. I'll discuss this in my next post. (Friday 4 July 2025; 02:00)

The psychology of it (109,458) by Haiji from United States Ok from what I've seen with many TD reactions outside of the lamb reactions, they've all had positive reviews with the song and video, with the exception of 2 reviews saying "she's too old to be making this type of music" and "this song is corny af". During reactions, at times they would pause the video, speak, rewind and as the songs plays, most of them would sing along, as if they already knew the song. This song, whether it charts high or not, is a catchy song. A lot of the reactors even mentioned wanting to hear more new music from her. Mind you, these weren't lambs. So what I'm trying to say is, we might not get exactly another Mimi era with the second single being massive, but if she continues to drop good songs, with great videos and heavy promo, the gp will eventually catch on to her music again, with the possibility of gaining another comeback era. But she needs to stay consistent. A remix should've been dropped already. Guess we'll have to wait and see and just enjoy her wonderful catalog. (Tuesday 24 June 2025; 21:24)

Audacy Music interview (109,424) by Haiji from United States Dropped earlier today. (Saturday 21 June 2025; 03:27)

TMC dance remix (109,415) by Haiji from United States Yes.. I love it. Hopefully she releases club mixes as well. So many creative lambs out there, have y'all heard this fan-made Type Dangerous (Rainbow era vocals). (Friday 20 June 2025; 02:06) this is a reply to message 109,412

TMC dance remix (109,412) by Jamie from UK Wow have you heard the unofficial TMC dance remix of Type Dangerous? It’s great (Thursday 19 June 2025; 20:35)

What's going on? (109,413) by Haiji from United States Aside from a "not so" behind the scenes of TDang mv dropping 2 days ago, everything's been quiet. Not sure if that's a good idea. Read somewhere her numbers are dropping quickly. Her and her team should release something quick to keep the momentum up, maybe a remix or even leak another song. I'm hoping for an album release date. (Friday 20 June 2025; 00:51)

Mariah, on fire (109,378) by Haiji from United States Sweet 16? (Monday 16 June 2025; 17:33) this is a reply to message 109,371

Mariah, on fire (109,371) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she should stick with MC16 or maybe Sweet Sweet MC16? (Monday 16 June 2025; 15:06)

Change of heart (109,338) by Haiji from United States Ok after watching the video about a hundred times, I'm really loving it. It's visually stunning, she looks beautiful and if you're a lamb and get the references, it's hilarious. If this Mr. Beast is really that popular and will get the GP to watch the video just for that, after a while, the song will catch on. It has that summer vibe to it. Idk if it's because I'm a fan and I'll pretty much support any song she drops, but the song is extremely catchy. It won't stop playing in my head lol. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 06:21)

Video (109,328) by Haiji from United States Finally got to watch the video, watched it twice. So, my complete honesty, the video was alright. For a Mariah video, it was better than expected but I can't say it was worth the wait. I did enjoy it but tbh I was more excited when Victoria Monet dropped the vid for Alright, and I barely know her music. As someone already mentioned, it felt more nostalgic with the rehash visuals of ILT, TGIFY remix, Breakdown, ISIL, The Roof and With You. And a hint of Britney's Toxic. I felt like too much was going on in the video. Maybe it'll grow on me. I've heard the name Mr. Beast many times but still don't know anything about him. I don't know him but from what I'm seeing in reaction videos, they're going crazy when they see him pop up in the video, apparently he's that famous and someone in the comments mentioned he has over 400 million followers which might actually translate better for exposure. I have a feeling there will be a remix and video dropping very soon. I was hoping for a Cardi or Glo remix but I think it'll just be Rakim, but we'll see.

Video (109,313) by Bobby A from United States Yes, it was not an earth shattering surprise. Finding out after eight months that Kristen shot J.R. on Dallas was more earth shattering than Mr. Beast showing up in a Mariah Carey video. Has MC had any interactions with Mr. Beast before now? I am trying to figure out why he would be such an earth shattering surprise to the Lambs. Now I am really concerned about her team's next steps before announcing the album title and release date. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 21:21)

Video (109,298) by Haiji from United States Better be worth it lol. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 17:57) this is a reply to message 109,295

Video (109,295) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh we're 21 mins (24 hours and 21 mins) past due time and still no video. Mariah Alerts just posted that JK is still doing finishing touches. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 17:21)

Video (109,297) by Haiji from United States Yes I believe so. I've been checking my notifs every minute, this isn't healthy lmao. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 17:56) this is a reply to message 109,294

Video (109,294) by Bobby A from United States Is this MC's most anticipated video ever? I don't think any of her other videos have ever caused so many conversations amongst the Lambs before. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 16:55)

Pic (109,292) by Haiji from United States Thank you. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 15:17) this is a reply to message 109,288

Pic (109,288) by Haiji from United States Webmaster/Eric, hello, I love this site since way back then btw. What's up with my profile pic? I even tried rotating it and still nothing lol. [Webmaster: I rotated the pic for you.] (Saturday 14 June 2025; 05:41)

New video (109,286) by Haiji from United States Makes sense I guess lol I think the media will drop tonight at midnight, if not then idk. Who knows, maybe the "earth-shattering" surprise is that she'll pull a Beyoncé and give us visuals for this song in 10 years. I'm really hoping for a Cardi B. or Glorilla remix, along with the Rakim remix that I'm sure is already in the works. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 04:17) this is a reply to message 109,285

New video (109,285) by Edward from USA Mariah is superstitious, probably that's why it was pushed to Saturday 14th. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 03:03)

New video (109,275) by Haiji from United States So according to Chatgpt: There's no credible evidence of a delay - rather, it appears the team actively adjusted the timing to build anticipation and ensure the surprise element hit just right. (Friday 13 June 2025; 18:20) this is a reply to message 109,269

New video (109,269) by Haiji from United States Mimi just announced the video is dropping tomorrow. I wonder why it was pushed back? (Friday 13 June 2025; 16:37)

Radio (109,261) by Haiji from United States Oh and I've already heard T-Dang play on the radio once tonight on Soft R&B station. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:21)

Thank you DJs (109,260) by Haiji from United States It was taken from the sample, Eric B. is President, but the remix version. That voice was added to the remix on the Paid in Full album as a shout-out to radio DJs who helped push the record, and wasn't on the original 12" single. I'm not sure who the original lady on that track is. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:19) this is a reply to message 109,249

Thank you DJs (109,249) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok do we know why she starts of T-Dang with saying "to show my appreciation for your support, thank you DJs"? (Thursday 12 June 2025; 21:43)

Kinda new here (109,259) by Haiji from United States Hello everyone. I've been following this site probably since it first started, maybe late 90s, idk tbh lol I have to say, I haven't been this excited about MC's releases in a very long time. I'm loving the rollout and that she's actually putting in the work to promo. I also agree the next single should be an uptempo to keep the momentum. I feel like because it's Mariah, she's expected to since powerful on a ballad, so if her new voice is the new direction, it probably wouldn't work well to gain the GP's attention. I'm really hoping for a 20th and 21st #1 beating The Beatles before she retires. It is literally 2:11am and I'm stressing, waiting for this mv to drop. I can't wait. (Friday 13 June 2025; 08:14)
