AMA's anticipation is high (107,459) by Tevin from USA Keep posting. (Monday 7 October 2024; 05:01) this is a reply to message 107,455

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Bobby A from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33)

Brazil concert (107,401) by Tevin from USA Awesome. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 02:28) this is a reply to message 107,399

Brazil concert (107,399) by Carlos from Brazil It was absolutly a surreal experience. I felt like I was leaving my body. I've been a fan for 20 years so to see her in person was a life changing moment. I felt like she was like really real. Her voice is so pretty, her songwriting is awesome and she is one of the prettiest women ever. The Brazilian outfit and the butterfly dress is now iconic. I went to the São Paulo concert and it was as amazing as the Rock in Rio show, even better. Her Portuguese is cute. She came back for the IWKWLI without her shoes haha. 50k people singing with her. It was the happiest day of my life. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 17:58)

Brazil concert (107,388) by Tevin from USA How was the concert? (Monday 23 September 2024; 16:11) this is a reply to message 107,366

Brazil concert (107,366) by Carlos from Brazil Guys, I am losing my mind thinking in just one day I will see Mariah live for the first time. I feel very blessed and I hope all the Brazilian lambs have the most amazing time. I also think she will deliver a historical performance at Rock in Rio. I will only attend the São Paulo concert. For you guys to see Rock in Rio live it will be available to stream on Globoplay. (Thursday 19 September 2024; 13:21)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,374) by Tevin from USA I also find it quite interesting (in a good way), that despite Mariah's heavy involvement in the Hip-hop community, after 97-98, you never see her hanging out with Diddy anymore, or doing anymore collaborations (wasn't he being a diva during the Honey remix video?). Something tells me that she may have noticed how he was, or was becoming, and she decided to steer clear. (Friday 20 September 2024; 15:19) this is a reply to message 107,372

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,372) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She didn't go to all maybe but she went to a bunch of Diddy parties including his famous "White Parties". But I'm guessing Diddy was different with Mariah because she was an established artist by then, he preyed on the up and coming. (Friday 20 September 2024; 14:19)

Let’s be respectful (107,283) by Tevin from USA I agree. May Mariah find peace. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 03:28) this is a reply to message 107,280

Let’s be respectful (107,280) by Shezz from Pk Nice post Mimi L. How absolutely heartbreaking for Mariah. Unresolved losses hurt the most. I hope she's doing alright. And of course we have absolutely no right to say what she must or must not do. We know nothing. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 20:08)

Migrate (107,236) by Tevin from USA Thanks, I'll check it out. (Friday 23 August 2024; 04:25) this is a reply to message 107,230

Migrate (107,230) by Bobby A from United States E=MC2 is probably one of MC's best albums to be remixed and reimagined by New York DJ John Morales. He is really good at taking an artist's songs and turning them into something different. Check out his remixed songs by Marvin Gay, Teena Marie, Teddy Pendergrass and this dancefloor jam. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 09:38)

Migrate (107,228) by Tevin from USA Those songs are good too. E=MC2 really has no skips for me. I'm even starting to like OOC, even though I hated that song in the past. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 22:33) this is a reply to message 107,226

Migrate (107,226) by Libra Lamb from USA I do wish sometimes that I shared the same enthusiasm for Migrate as some of you on this board do. Cruise Control, I'm That Chick and OOC were true missed opportunities. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 18:27)

Migrate (107,225) by Tevin from USA Good ideas. She could always update the lyrics a bit too. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 14:41) this is a reply to message 107,223

Migrate (107,223) by Bobby A from United States Maybe if a high school cheerleading squad or a couple of high school besties created a football jamboree or homecoming dance routine to an instrumental track, then it would go viral. The lyrics are kind of outdated now singing about getting ready to go to the club and being at the club. No one sings or raps about being at club now. Probably one of MC's most missed opportunities for a number one song. It really makes me wonder if L.A. Reid was really running Def Jam in 2008. He just lacked the same enthusiasm for E=MC2 that he had for TEOM. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 03:15)

Migrate (107,222) by Tevin from USA I don't know why this happened, but all day today I've been thinking of ways to make Migrate blow up on Tiktok. I know it sounds a bit dated but it's still a banger. Any ideas anyone? (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 01:47)

Inspirational songs (107,043) by Tevin from USA Same. It was great. Frederick (Go Blue, if you're from Michigan), and the crew are really making me interested in men's gymnastics. They are amazing. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 22:13) this is a reply to message 107,038

Inspirational songs (107,038) by Stacey from USA How about we stick to Mariah Carey topics or the Olympics. Plenty to talk about there. I watched the men's team gymnastics final yesterday. What a competition. Every stuck landing made me jumpy out of my seat. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 19:24)

1996 Olympics (107,035) by Tevin from USA Ok. Thanks for the info Stacey. Obviously Mariah was at the top of her game during 95-96, so I was curious if she made any appearances during the games. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 17:55) this is a reply to message 107,030

1996 Olympics (107,030) by Stacey from USA I was 18. I don't recall MC being a part of the 96 Olympics. Celine sang The Power of the Dream. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 02:14)

1996 Olympics (107,003) by Tevin from USA I was only 2 years old during this Olympics, but did Mariah play any part (made any appearance) in or at the Olympics? (Sunday 28 July 2024; 18:51)

Celine 2024 Olympics (106,974) by Tevin from USA Wow. That's all I can say. I'm so proud of her. She had this grown man shedding some tears, and I ain't even mad about that. Wow just wow. Talk about a fighter, and that voice. I'm wishing everyone on this board peace and happiness. Enjoy the Olympics if you like watching the games. (Saturday 27 July 2024; 05:42)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,735) by Tevin from USA Where did you get the intel about Rarities 2? I hope that comes to fruition. (Monday 17 June 2024; 23:07) this is a reply to message 106,729

Spring or fall album release preference (106,729) by Shezz from Pk Yeah I think unless she releases the first single in August, she will push it to early next year. Apparently the nameless producer she was in the studio with all week is not Anderson Paak, although she has recorded stuff with him as well. Insider hinted that it might have been Bruno Mars. I think you've been wanting her to work with him as well right? Apparently Rareties 2 is also to be released this year. If she's still working on MC16, she probably plans to release Rareties 2 later this year to keep us going till MC16. I am not sure if MC30 will be a very big thing. She already did MC25. I don't think she celebrates 25 and 30. 30s only of those whose 25 she missed. Let's see what MC has planned. (Monday 17 June 2024; 09:15)

Rainbow 25 (106,686) by Tevin from USA Lol. It seems like people either love or hate Florida, for multiple reasons lol. Safe travels and enjoy Rainbow 25. (Friday 14 June 2024; 20:21) this is a reply to message 106,683

Rainbow 25 (106,683) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you Tevin, I wish I shared the same sentiment. I do not like Tampa at all, or most of Florida for that fact. Barf. I'm glad you enjoy it and many people do but it's not for me. Sorry my response may be too sincere. Have a great weekend. (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:20)

After Tonight, Heartbreaker remix, There For Me (106,677) by Tevin from USA The updated sound quality is amazing. I heard clearer vocals on Thank God I Found You (with Joe), that sounds amazing. (Friday 14 June 2024; 13:34) this is a reply to message 106,672

After Tonight, Heartbreaker remix, There For Me (106,672) by RL from USA Sounds like the sound/volume issues from the original version have been fixed on the remastered version of After Tonight. And on the Heartbreaker remix, I heard extra whispers in the beginning that I hadn't heard on the one released back in '99. Nice to have There For Me digitally. (Friday 14 June 2024; 08:06)

Rainbow 25 (106,670) by Tevin from USA Oh I love Tampa. I have to visit that area again one day. Have fun. (Friday 14 June 2024; 03:55) this is a reply to message 106,664

Rainbow 25 (106,664) by Libra Lamb from USA Same here. Road trip to Tampa. I love that it's been remastered. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:28)

Rainbow 25 (106,663) by Tevin from USA I'm going to be blasting this album on my road trip up north this weekend. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 106,660

Rainbow 25 (106,660) by Bobby A from United States This is a spectacular tracklist. Summer officially begins Friday. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 20:26)

Article: Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" gets remastered (106,653) by Tevin from USA I can't wait to hear the remastered sound of this album. Songs like Heartbreaker sounds good and clear, but other songs on this album sounded like it was recorded in the debut eras woodshop bathroom. I do hope we get an acapella version of Heartbreaker. I'd love to hear her vocal layering on that version. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 16:23) this is a reply to message 106,651

Article: Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" gets remastered (106,651) by Scott from USA While I am excited to hear the remastered album and any unreleased material, I am not so sure that I agree with this article's assertion that "Mariah had invested quite a bit in this album". Rainbow was created quickly and in response to delays on the development of the Glitter film. Additionally, it completed her contract with Sony, which I think was Mariah's strongest motivation for putting an album out at the time. She wanted to close that chapter of her life. There are certainly some moments on Rainbow that I love - Heartbreaker is an instant classic, and songs like Petals and Ex-Girlfriend gave us some (somewhat uncharacteristically) autobiographical lyrics about Mariah's life at the time - but overall Rainbow feels to me like Mariah's most rushed work. That being said, it's fun, it's sexy, and it's perfect for Pride Month. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 15:20)

BMA (106,602) by Tevin from USA Have you all ever heard of a YouTube channel called Black Music Archive? I used to watch his videos all the time, but the lambs are going in on him for his video he dropped yesterday. Him and his "experts" basically used the entire video to bash Mariah calling her whistle register a party trick. SMH. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 05:39)

Made For Me (remix) (106,547) by Tevin from USA I loved SOS. Good Days was definitely the best song. Did you love that album? (Monday 27 May 2024; 05:22) this is a reply to message 106,542

Made For Me (remix) (106,542) by Bobby A from United States I believe the reason the remix is still #1 is because of 2nd verse from MC. The rap style singing builds the song for the gospel style closing. MC just singing the 2nd verse probably would not have had the same effect. There is even a different beat with MC's verse. R&B fans of today love a major switch in song that is different from other parts in the song. For example, Sza's Good Days when she switches back and forth from subtle to fast pace singing to her low notes on the fan favorite last chorus line of "Good day living in my mind." If you ask any Sza fan, they probably will tell you that Good Days is their favorite song from SOS. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 13:35)

Made For Me (remix) (106,535) by Tevin from USA Same. (Saturday 25 May 2024; 22:07) this is a reply to message 106,534

Made For Me (remix) (106,534) by Billy from Greece I'm addicted. I've been listening to it the whole day long. (Saturday 25 May 2024; 21:19)

Portrait Hopeless Child remixes (106,521) by Tevin from USA I love these new remixes. (Friday 24 May 2024; 17:01) this is a reply to message 106,514

Portrait Hopeless Child remixes (106,514) by 123 from USA While some of you waste time being negative about remixes projects Mariah has no control over, Ms. Carey has quietly dropped three Portrait remixes. So good. She turned a melancholy ballad into a reflective, optimistic up tempo. Mostly sung in full voice, her buttery mid range cannot be duplicated. She sounds so good. You get new vocals, new lyrics, new backgrounds, different vocal textures minus high belts which aren't missed or needed. She flips the beat a lot at the end of the 16 minute version. I'm super excited to get the official Rainbow Interlude remix in June. So glad Caution finally got a dance remix and she really stuck her foot into these. No cut and paste. So brilliant. "So you can just be free." Just what I needed MC. (Friday 24 May 2024; 14:56)

Made for me (106,371) by Tevin from USA Did you all hear that Mariah is going to be on the Made for Me remix? I'm so excited. Jermaine just posted about it today. From the snippet I heard, Mariah sounds great. It's kinda ironic since that song was originally made for Mariah. Lol. I can't wait. (Thursday 9 May 2024; 04:45)
