Messageboard

About Zachariah from Croatia: Mariah Carey fan and professional member of automotive community - both got me feeling emotions.

Podcast (107,526) by Zachariah from Croatia I got annoyed (as did she - let's not deceive ourselves) with Matt Rogers constant complimentary comments about Butterfly album and Heartbreaker video. Ok Matt, you have orgasms while listening to Butterfly album and watching the Heartbreaker video, we get it. Calm. Down. Thankfully, Bowen was an anchor to keep the converastion in more down to Earth way. Releasing the Someone's Ugly Daughter would be a great move if that album is really good and not some kind of mockery of alt rock music, which would just backfire. And we all know how media just waits for a new victim to put down. (Saturday 19 October 2024; 16:05)

AMAs performance (107,514) by Zachariah from Croatia They will forget their criticisms very quickly when there is a chance to work with Mariah because she is a force and her influence is strong, especially in r'n'b waters. Or to have a chance to do something regarding Christmas with her. Thankfully she can smell fake ones so she chooses wisely her collaborations.

AMAs performance (107,513) by Bobby A from United States Spot on, Mimi. Mariah isn't the only artist who receives a lot of criticism when she doesn't live up to what the industry praises her for. For example, Katy Perry's latest album is a far cry from her albums Roar and Prism. Pink [sic] has lost ability to write great catchy pop rock anthems that helped propel her career. Ed Sherran's [sic] last album was boring and lacked his catchy melodic pop gems that we have heard from him in the past. Beyonce stepped into country music without really thinking about the repercussions from the country music industry. There were more criticisms from male country singers than were anticipated.

Article: Mariah Carey unwraps new single covers (107,494) by Zachariah from Croatia I love the covers, especially because she looks like herself, in terms of skin color. Just compare her first album cover and this one - it's like day and night regarding her skin color. Or is it just me? (Thursday 10 October 2024; 12:49)

AMAs performance (107,486) by Zachariah from Croatia I strongly disagree. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 10:45) this is a reply to message 107,483

AMAs performance (107,483) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Guys and girls, I don't wanna spoil the moment, but the performance is playback from beginning to end. Just like The Celebration of Mimi in Vegas (except for a couple of adlibs here and there). I'm afraid MC is not singing live again (at least for a while). The quality of her voice has worsened considerably in the past couple years, and live on stage is where she feels most stressed and insecure about it. So now she just plays it safe by rerecording everything in her current voice and having improved the lipping technique. At least we can enjoy lots of new vocals recorded in a studio. For what it's worth, I think I'm starting to be finally at peace with this. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 01:47)

Robert Anthony (107,481) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't think I was uncivilized or disrespectful towards Mariah. Actually I know I wasn't. I just answered to his question why are we, it this case, me, so quiet lately on this messageboard. I have a right to my own opinion and it is what it is. Some people have a lot emotions and love reviving old things. Is it annoying for me to see that? Very. That is why I was quiet. Am I enjoying that everyone is writing about perfect AMA's performance where the love from crowd was mesmerizing? Very. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 23:45) this is a reply to message 107,475

Robert Anthony (107,475) by David from USA I come on this board often; I comment very rarely. When I do comment, it's usually to note the negativity and nastiness of Mariah's "fans" here. Robert is always positive and civil - and he's respectful to Mariah even when perhaps giving constructive criticism. We could all learn from him and, as far as his frequent posts, this board would be dead without him. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 15:06)

AMA preformance (107,461) by Zachariah from Croatia I had to stop my car on a side on my way to work and watch the whole thing on YouTube. She did so good. So so good. Really made my morning. (Monday 7 October 2024; 08:14)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,449) by Zachariah from Croatia I will speak for myself - I am quite because people with your writing style reject me from even putting an effort to write anything. I'm tired of constantly reviving old conspiracies about choosing her singles or old songs and dissecting how would they sound in a different arrangement and would could be and so on and so on and so on. It is tiring to me and because of that I just don't engage. I am only interest in the present. How to help to see her on the top again and not live on old fame.

AMA's anticipation is high (107,447) by Bobby A from United States I am so excited for MC's performance on Sunday. I know she is going do well. I really feel she is going to have a huge recogition before her performance. By the way, why is everyone so quiet this month? (Saturday 5 October 2024; 13:17)

(107,437) by Zachariah from Croatia Please do. Your constant voice bashing is getting really depressing. Even more since I think she sounds good and that she doesn't lipsync that much as people think. But that's me. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 13:06) this is a reply to message 107,434

(107,434) by Bobby A from United States I guess we will know how worse her voice has gotten. Thank you for your response, Shezz. I am going to move on from this topic about MC's voice. (Monday 30 September 2024; 23:57)

That stage monitor (107,387) by Zachariah from Croatia I am very curious about that as well. It is so annoying and distracting even for me, who isn't on the stage. (Monday 23 September 2024; 15:51) this is a reply to message 107,385

That stage monitor (107,385) by Brandon from USA Can someone please take that monitor that MC seems to stare at the entire show? No one on her team has told her how distracting it is to see her constantly looking down at it? (Monday 23 September 2024; 06:14)

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,358) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't believe this article one bit. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 18:01) this is a reply to message 107,357

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,357) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol I don't even understand why that article was necessary. Like why is the NY post so obsessed with Mariah's financials? Such a random article. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 13:53)

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,315) by Zachariah from Croatia I literally listened to it this morning. [...] And this video is fire. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 14:00) this is a reply to message 107,314

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,314) by Billy from Greece Do you guys remember this one? I feel it's Mariah's most forgotten single. I love the video. I remember being super excited when I first saw it, you know, the three Mariahs and all. Of course, Glitter vocals take it to another level. Yet, at the same time I feel like no one knows about this one. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 08:56)

Fatman Scoop (107,294) by Zachariah from Croatia Rest in peace and thank you for the hook in It's Like That. (Sunday 1 September 2024; 10:23)

(107,279) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, how do you think these deaths will affect her? Will she soften the diva behavior, realize that she has lost a part of her family, will she get the inspiration to write all her feelings in a song or an album and release it one day. How do you think this will mold her as a person? I am sure we all deal with loss differently. When my brother died in an accident at work 12 years ago, I was bitter, mad, unpleasant, cold, distant. I had to work hard to pass that and still I am not done. Thoughts? (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 20:07)

Article: Mariah's mom and sister both died on same day (107,259) by Zachariah from Croatia I am so sad to hear this, especially since my birthday was yesterday and I really don´t want to remember that day over this news. I am so sad for her. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 08:08)

Migrate (107,224) by Zachariah from Croatia Still makes me mad when I realize that wasn't a single. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 08:05) this is a reply to message 107,222

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)

Live duet versions (107,202) by Zachariah from Croatia Every week I listen to "With You I'm Born Again" that she sang with John Legend. What pleasure is that for my ears. I wish she would release an album of those live collaborations with other artists or spontaneous performances that were filmed and put on YouTube. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 12:57)

Christmas shows (107,189) by Zachariah from Croatia Get well soon and keep lambing. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 18:21) this is a reply to message 107,177

Christmas shows (107,177) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I attended the Charmbracelet tour in London in 2003 right before Halloween, and this year I'm actually planning on going back and see her Christmas shows I'm currently hospitalized for depression with previous suicidal thoughts for the second time since 2009. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and YouTube and the existence of Mariah Carey, I wouldn't have survived. I have to thank Mariah again for saving my life, thank you Mariah. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 19:38)

Much ado about nothing (107,170) by Zachariah from Croatia I agree. She is human and of course she was affected by all the love form her fans. Then again, I cried yesterday driving from work because loneliness is brutal and playing a strong man at work can be exhausting and always smiling with "I have every under control" attitude. (Friday 9 August 2024; 15:26) this is a reply to message 107,168

Much ado about nothing (107,168) by Randy from USA Maybe she got emotional about the lyrics and what she's going through right now. Being stuffed in a size 6 gown, being scrutinized every syllable for lip syncing since she can't tell us what happened in 1997, being in the desert when she'd rather be poolside writing songs for other artists, since she doesn't wanna have to go the through promotion or the live performing that comes with recording her own music. That story was overblown and I can't believe I wasted the board's time digging into it. But thank you Robert. (Friday 9 August 2024; 14:48)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,156) by Zachariah from Croatia It's all over the news here in Europe. I have a few friends who were supposed to be there with their kids and they are absolutely devastated about it. They can't stop crying. Which I understand since they were so looking forward to it. (Thursday 8 August 2024; 17:53) this is a reply to message 107,155

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,155) by MusicfanJ from Germany Have you heard about this? Three concerts are cancelled because of danger of terror in Vienna. I feel for those 200.000 people who just wanted to have a good time. I'm so sick of such news, every day. That's another reason why I miss the 90ies. You could go everywhere without having a bad feeling. It's such a shame what's going on nowadays. Sorry off topic, but I wanted to share this. (Thursday 8 August 2024; 10:06)

Return to roots (107,135) by Zachariah from Croatia I totally agree. A good ballad can do wonders. That's why I adored the Glitter era - there were ballads and disco beats. (Wednesday 7 August 2024; 11:00) this is a reply to message 107,134

Return to roots (107,134) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Ballads do not chart anymore." I don't think so. Adele's "Someone like you" or "Hello" are just two examples. The songs dominated the charts for weeks. If a song is outstanding it will work. No rappers and beats are needed. But a Disco Mariah would be cool. Like the new Rainbow mix. (Wednesday 7 August 2024; 08:39)

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,093) by Zachariah from Croatia I actually don't mind now that MC16 is not happening. I hate summer and heat so this is more exciting for me - enjoying winter days with Mariah playing all day long. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 10:21)

Back to Mariah (107,060) by Zachariah from Croatia I think it is gonna be a longer pause between MC16 and the next album (which I am sure it's gonna happen) but we will not mind the pause because MC16 is gonna be a fire. I feel it in my bones. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 17:50) this is a reply to message 107,057

Back to Mariah (107,057) by Edward from USA Do you guys think MC16 will Mariah's final album, and how would you feel if it were? (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 14:16)

Webmaster, please... (107,055) by Zachariah from Croatia Webmaster, are these posts about politics really necessary here, on Mariah Carey Archives? I mean, I really don't want to read about that here. It is enough that we (in Europe) are bombarded with that in the news every damn day. And we really do not care. We have enough of our own mess to deal with. So please, can you put this under control? Thank you. [Webmaster: If this message gets more than 10 thumbs up, I will stop posting messages on the American elections. See also my first rule.] (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 10:49)

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,017) by Zachariah from Croatia I really don't like your negative attitude all the time regarding her voice. I listened the same thing and it is live. I don't know why you keep saying that she can't sing anymore. So annoying. (Monday 29 July 2024; 08:40) this is a reply to message 107,012

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,012) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking again today while I was standing in the grocery checkout line. I just wonder is it common knowledge among MC's colleagues, label executives, and radio programmers that Mariah Carey can't sing anymore. I thought about that because MC doesn't receive any offers for duets, movie songs, or TV performances anymore. Her last collaborations have been rap hooks and a JD favor for another artist. I am really worried about what MC's career will look like in 2030. That would be 40 years in the music business at 61 years old. Maybe an announcement of MC16 will be her last album and it will be a double album. That would be a great prelude something new in the TV entertainment and cosmetics industry.

What do you do for a living? (106,948) by Zachariah from Croatia I'm a head of the technical-logistic office for four car brands in Europe. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 13:25) this is a reply to message 106,947

What do you do for a living? (106,947) by Jamie from UK I'm a Cabin Manager for a long haul airline. I'm often in NYC and do a run down the Hudson and up past Mariah's apartment. One day I will see her coming out. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 12:18)
