Songs Mariah should cover (110,594) by jaker20 from US
I wish Mariah had covered more of the male 80s soft rock, and turned it into an album. Without You, Open Arms, IWTKWLI were all a success for her.

She slayed that genre, and they were perfect for her voice back then. But that was the 90s, her voice has changed.

But she can still cover Foreigner, REO Speedwagon (In My Dreams), Air Supply (Lost In Love), that kind of stuff.

I would legitimately love to see Mariah step outside her comfort zone and do some alternative rock covers. We all know she has a secret rocker side that's waiting to be unleashed. I honestly thought that was going to happen when she and Courtney Love were photographed together with Lee Daniels 10 or so years ago.

I also legitimately would have loved for Aretha Franklin to do a song like Bjork's "Army of Me". That would have been cool to hear.

Nostradamus Insider seems to think he has some hot information that he is going reveal later today. He has posted about MC constantly all week. It's time to reveal the tracklist to raise the album interest level even higher.

Daydream anniversary (110,590) by Bobby A from United States
I believe what the Sun reported yesterday that MC is already thinking about her 17th album being a deep cut project. Somebody's Ugly Daughter is definitely a deep cut project. Maybe she will release it with The Rarities II (1997-2009) as a 3LP vinyl album.

It's not too much. It's great that lambs are trying to relate and connect the dots. Bipolar disorder is Mariah's greatest demon, the one she's been battling almost her entire life. As her extended family, it's important for us to be educated about it so we can support her in that fight. Someone on her team could be reading these.

Dreamlover (110,586) by Bill from the UK
I'm listening to Dreamlover and comparing against Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet... there is absolutely no comparison. Dreamlover is just a perfect pop song, one of the best things she ever did. Her voice, the harmonies, the backgrounds, the melody... it is perfect. Oh Mariah come back please.

I think it's time for Mariah to reveal the "Here For It All" tracklist, and hopefully let us know if there will be any special editions for outlets like "Walmart" or "Amazon".

Daydream anniversary (110,584) by Edward from USA
What if Mariah finally released "Someone's Ugly Daughter" alongside "Here For It All"? Or maybe she could let some of those unrelerased gems from the "Daydream" sessions out the vault. Her voice from that era was so distinctive, so honest. One can only dream.

Maybe we're all just projecting our own projections onto the projectors who are projecting their projections onto other projectors?

I just want a day where I can just look at rainbows, eat ice cream, and go swimming with dolphins. We're all just living in the moment of being positive.

The Mariah UK takeover is gonna pay off (110,580) by jaker20 from US
I think they are doing an excellent job overseas with the Mariah promotions. It's a great move in my opinion. I also saw the billboards in Japan. They might be up to something.

I like that many care for her, often it's well-intentioned. But sometimes it's just many here are projecting. It's too tooo too much.

She is already in constant microscrope. If it's not the breast just a few days ago, then the makeup, then the everything, then she's a zombie, and not herself. (I admit I do it too sometimes, it's contagious, so I often check myself, and this is my first and last on this topic.)

I feel all this focus on her being bipolar, and people diagnosing her like she's a patient, is actually adding more anxiety. And frankly pretty pointless, albeit "we have the right to post what we want". The negative is too much sometimes, that for some it's all they talk about. In the end, it is her life, she has a new "normal". She has her own baseline of what is normal.

She looked great in London, happy, cheerful, she seems to have high energy, walking on her own, interacting with fans, having a time of her life, and the last few concerts smashed. And yet look at the topics here. There is nothing wrong with her as far as I'm concerned.

I believe once we get to listen to HFIA in its entirety, we are going to learn a lot more about MC and what she has been going through the past seven years. The Clark Sisters collaboration, Jesus I Do, just may debut on the Hot 100 because of streaming alone once the word gets out how good it is. I couldn't keep the title to myself any longer. Sorry. September 1st is the countdown time until 09.26. MC still has a lot to say with or without Jermash's beat behind her voice. I am still disappointed JD won't have at least one song on HFIA.

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,576) by Tijl from Belgium
Regarding Mariah's bipolar condition, I have the utmost respect and understanding the burden this must be on her. Her life has not been a fairytale and she is a genuine fighter. That is exactly why I adore and love her. Her sensibility and wrought sensitivity is what makes her the eloquent and fantastic songwriter. I would love to be able to write down the effect as an inspiring personality she has had on me but is almost impossible. But let me try. A long time ago, I was waiting in a lounge - you know those intimidating posh hotel lobbies - for a job interview that was quite important for the future of my career. I was nervous, anxious, fiddling. Suddenly on the sound system there she was: "Hero" - which is not even my favourite song of hers - filling the room and covering me with a blanket of warmth and believe. Immediately I felt at ease and I finished one hell of an interview. I have so many of these moments where she is there, this guardian angel telling me "It is going to be okay." That is Mariah to me in a nutshell, always and everywhere. I bet many of us on here have had moments just as those. I am just worried about her as she does not seem to be in a good state of mind. I get Russian general vibes (remember that ghastly Stella era?). Wishing her all she deserves: a new number 1, success, love and peace. Just worried although I never met her she is in my heart and I hope to tell her one day the impact she had/has on my life.

Back to chart obsession (110,574) by jaker20 from US
It's funny you mentioned Cardi B because years ago lambs want them to collab and now with her not doing well, no one would even suggest that would be a good idea. I want Mariah to do the most unexpected collaborations, like an up and coming folk pop artist or an artist who is big in the Spanish speaking countries or in Asia. Something totally unexpected. Mariah is going to Brazil to shoot a video, hopefully these ideas reach her team. American pop music charts are no longer cool and the market has dried up, the best creatives are elsewhere, and that's where the money is.

Daydream anniversary (110,573) by BFF from United States
The album release date for "Here for It All" (9/26/25) coincides with the 30th anniversary of the "Daydream" album release (9/26/95). I wonder if we will get a 30th anniversary edition of the "Daydream" album. Surely we will get something since Mariah has done something for "Music Box", "Butterfly", "Rainbow", and "The Emancipation of Mimi"? I know we got "Slipping Away" and "One Night" on "The Rarities" but perhaps there are more songs we do not know about (other than the Chick album).

That sounds horrible. I have no knowledge in medicine, so thanks for the info. All I know is, that it's always better to use as less medicine and chemistry as it's possible. So yes, you need a good doctor who you can trust. It's the same for us "normal people". To find a good one isn't easy. I hope Mariah isn't overworking again. Her latest traumas are indeed too much for one human. Poor Mariah.

I don't buy it too. Yes, since 2001 mental problems got public. It was a sad time to have witnessed. The breakdown was everywhere in the press and media back then. But with "Charmbracelet" Mariah seemed recovered, her interviews were honest and very enjoyable. She looked healthy and fit with and without the sunglasses. But the latest interviews are hard to watch. Something seems a bit strange. I really wish Bryan Tanaka would still be there. He seemed to be a big "rock in the surf".

It’s tiiiime... to let the children know (110,570) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
I am bipolar myself, and used lithium for two years, but the side effects made me stop using it, it was not lack of energy or fatigue.

I have also a psychology degree, so I have first hand experience and academic merits.

There are a lot of different medication you can use as a bipolar, but the medications that affect your energy, libido, exuberance, and makes you a "living dead" is the antipsychotic drugs, like zyprexa (olanzapine) and others. Sometimes if you have had a severe relaps like a manic or depressed episode, you can get olanzapine as an injection, or you get another antipsychotic drug called zeplion as an injection. Those medications are administrated once a month, is a so called depot medication, they can have a devastating affect on your mood, happiness, energy, libido, hunger, and the joy of living. Those medication makes you completely flat emotionally, it can give you social anxiety and general anxiety, they keep you in a state where you are just alive, nothing cheers you up, and nothing brings you down, you are completely empty and dead inside, there's not an ounce of mojo what so ever. It's also very frustrating to be in that stat, because you have vivid memories about how you used to be happier, and that makes you even more sad.

I suspect Mariah is, or has, been on heavy medication since the death of her mother and sister, which have made her mojo disappear. Even after you have decreased the dosage or auto seponated the medication, it can take months for you to even have a happy thought occurring in your head, but you will get happy again. Using such medication is not a way to live, I have been there, and will never ever again be so dead inside because of medication again, then I will rather not take them.

I use orfiril which is a stabilizer that works perfectly for me with no side effects.

But be aware guys, after this period with our beloved Mariah be almost a living dead, she is too fatigued to even move around, expect a period from some time from now when she will be exuberant again, and maybe then she will go over the top at the other extreme. But then I think people in her life will keep her out of the public for a short period of time. Mariah was in a manic state at the infamous TRL moment. After her being so low as of recently, it might be expected for her to go up in the clouds as a counter effect in her brain, when chemistry in brain wants to maintain homeostasis again, the neurons releases neurotransmitters to balance the depressed state Mariah is in now. Then she will go overboard, but will retain balance a few weeks to a few months after that.

This is the life of a bipolar, I have written two books and a bunch of opinion articles about it Norwegian newspapers.

Just remember folks, the Mariah we all love is still there, she just have to flourish again.
