About Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States: A realistic lamb-that makes me a unicorn as well

Praying for the album (106,779) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I actually don't want her in album phase right now. I like her hopping in remixes (she needs to time them better). Madonna been doing the same thing. I'd like yo see Mariah collaborate on random songs and do some soundtracks. That way, she can create music without all of the pressure of having to promote and carry the outcomes of its success or failure-primarily the failure. It would also give her a chance to update her sound and experiment - she's got to get out of the rut she's been in since 2005. I'd love for her to collaborate with international artists. Jump in a remix with a popular Australian artist. Collab and sing the hook on a track of a popular Asian artist. She could do so much more without having to do a lot. There is so much emphasis placed on #1 hits, but we would all take a solid top 10 hit from her that actually stays in the charts for a while.

Praying for the album (106,760) by Bobby A from United States If a long time between albums happened in the 90s, I wonder what would be MC's response for the long wait. MC would probably say that she wants to record more songs to sequence the album perfectly or correct some vocal moments. Being the perfectionist that she is, it has to be really hard for her in 2024. She has to have at least 50 songs recorded by now. Right? (Friday 21 June 2024; 12:24)

Tiny Desk (106,778) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I say no because Mariah is so uptight and stiff that she wouldn't be any fun. It's like her carpool karaoke - it was stiff, dull, and she wasn't warm or engaging. And then we have the vocals. TD is about a vibe and being in a moment. She'd want to move cameras and lighting to play into her diva antics and insecurities. Her setlist would be dull and predictable. When it comes to banter, she'd either be distant and muted like she was on the Jennifer Hudson show, or she'd be manic and rambling. Lastly, she's so in her head about her vocals that I could see it taking 6 months for TD episode to come out because she'd want to edit, dub, etc. Plus, TD is an all live venue, what 5-7 songs would Mariah sing that would 100% live that she'd be okay releasing to the public?

Tiny Desk (106,755) by Brandon from USA @C, why do you say no that MC shouldn't do the Tiny Desk? (Thursday 20 June 2024; 15:39)

Tiny Desk (106,752) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States No. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 22:39) this is a reply to message 106,741

Tiny Desk (106,741) by Brandon from USA Tiny Desk is the new MTV Unplugged. Everyone has been on there and it is very popular. You guys think MC would do the Tiny Desk? It could be great promo and she would have to sing 100% live. No vocal tracks allowed. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 21:35)

Debut and Emotions anniversaries (106,738) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Possibly. I think she has a very skewed outlook on her catalogue. It's why she has beaten MC to death. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 06:22) this is a reply to message 106,721

Debut and Emotions anniversaries (106,721) by Jamie from UK I wonder if the reason she never celebrated these anniversaries was due to the royalties that Ben Margulies would get. We know she signed a bad deal with him and he'd get a big chunk of money, decreasing by each album. (Sunday 16 June 2024; 11:49)

Rainbow 25 (106,714) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States From 2000-2007? Where did you get that data? (Saturday 15 June 2024; 22:34) this is a reply to message 106,704

Rainbow 25 (106,704) by Bobby A from United States The collaboration helped Joe's album sales and singles rise on the charts from 2000-2007. TGIFY was Joe's first number #1 song on the Hot 100. Stutter released in 2000 became his second #1 song. MC's collaborations has helped other artists careers like Nas, Mystikal, Fabolous, Meek Mill, Miguel, and The-Dream rise to new heights for album and single chart dominance.

Vogue World interview (106,713) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I hate the way she often speaks in a non-definitive way. It can be hard to know if she's being fully honest - especially in print. Why not just say "no"? Her "who said that?" answer kinda gave me the impression that she didn't want to or couldn't speak about what may have been some truth to the rumor (a meeting with Lauryn, disagreement, label issue, etc). (Saturday 15 June 2024; 22:33) this is a reply to message 106,707

Vogue World interview (106,707) by Bobby A from United States Finally a Lamb who knew the right questions to ask. We found out that the Crystal Ball Lauren Hill song was just Lamb myth. There is Rainbow tour and MTV promotion footage that she is looking for. And last but not least, a new music is coming soon. MC said that she was in the studio this week with someone who shall be nameless. It is really good that she is revisiting Rainbow before she releases a new album since it was such a turning point in her career. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 17:01)

Rainbow 25 (106,712) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States AAO and TGIFY were recorded in the same period though. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 22:28) this is a reply to message 106,708

Rainbow 25 (106,708) by Edward from USA I agree. Unlike her solo versions of "Whenever You Call" and "Against All Odds", Mariah wasn't in her best vocal form during this period, and it shows in these previously unheard vocals. I'm not particularly impressed, but I'm not disappointed either. She has given us some real gems on "The Rarities". (Saturday 15 June 2024; 17:08)

Rainbow 25 (106,711) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I was wondering if that was 98 Degrees on the harmonies? So it's not really a "Mariah solo"? I wondered if those 2nd verse harmonies are Trey. He is listed in the credits. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 22:26) this is a reply to message 106,710

Rainbow 25 (106,710) by Bobby A from United States Right. She sang the 2nd verse in such a lazy way to me than the first verse. Something is just off with her second verse. Anybody notice that 98 Degrees background are very prevalent and extra loud on the solo version than the album version? I think all three harmonized together on the album version. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 21:23)

Rainbow 25 (106,695) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States The question becomes what do they mean by "original mixing problems"? Does that mean the mixes we've known for 25 years are not what she initially wanted? Are these new mixes what 2024 MC prefers? I just realized that on Spotify the OG album has been updated with these new mixes and that's annoying. I was listening to the climax note of the Vulnerability interlude and the ending of that sustained note is missing something that was in the OG. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 03:38) this is a reply to message 106,692

Rainbow 25 (106,692) by Bobby A from United States Mariahtrends on X is reporting that MC worked with her engineers to correct original mixing problems for the anniversary release. I always felt that the sound quality was not like Butterfly or Daydream. Did she rush the mixing process as well to be done with Sony? (Friday 14 June 2024; 22:26)

Celine (106,665) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States If you say so. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 23:53) this is a reply to message 106,647

Celine (106,647) by jaker20 from US What a terrible take. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 08:16)

Rainbow Tour footage (106,645) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States We know Mariah won’t release a full Rainbow tour concert for Rainbow25. I wonder if we could get an Around the World type release where we could at least see some HQ, remastered footage? That would allow her to cherry pick footage and vocals. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 01:18)

How Much remix (106,644) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I wonder if this [So so def] remix is new (2023-24) or from the actual Rainbow era? (Thursday 13 June 2024; 01:16)

Celine (106,643) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States It won't. Why would it? It's "interesting" how so many lambs are suddenly feeling for Celine and seemingly co-opting her heartbreaking condition as a nebulous way to explain Mariah's vocal state. Is it possible that Mariah also has something going on that has impacted her voice? Yes. Is it also possible that improper maintenance is the cause? Yes. The former absolves Mariah of responsibility and places her in a position of being a victim-something I've noticed lambs love, Mariah as a perpetual victim. The latter holds her responsible, at least in part, and that isn't something the lambily likes to do. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 01:12) this is a reply to message 106,639

Celine (106,639) by Will from England I've been watching clips of her interview in the lead up to her documentary, and it is heartbreaking to see her so vulnerable and open about her condition, and demonstrating how it affects her singing so much. SPS sounds horrible and so debilitating, but reminds me of the behind the scenes documentary for her Taking Chances show, and how even then she was battling this condition, without knowing what it was then. I hope, that for us fans, this puts a collective stop to the endless and exhausted debate on not just Celine's, but Mariah's singing voice and state of being. (Wednesday 12 June 2024; 20:23)

Rainbow 25 (106,642) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What is "A Thousand Lifetimes"? Did [Crystal ball] actually get made or was it just a rumor? Lastly, from the way it's been talked about, I never got the impression that the duet version of After Tonight was completed. If that's the case, I'd love to hear demo snippets. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 01:07) this is a reply to message 106,641

Rainbow 25 (106,641) by Bobby A from United States I like what has been revealed so far, but I am hoping for at least 5 more bonus tracks. What about these rumored tracks recorded for the Rainbow album? 1. After Tonight ft. Miguel 2. Crystal Ball ft. Lauryn Hill 3. Everytime A Thousand Life Times would be perfect for the Rainbow 25th anniversary. (Wednesday 12 June 2024; 22:17)

Forget Rainbow25, what’s the plan for Daydream30? (106,636) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I do want Rainbow25 but I really want Daydream30. It’s clear that her bittersweet relationship with that time period inhibits her interactions with Daydream. In spite of that, what do we want for Daydream30? (Wednesday 12 June 2024; 04:22)

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (106,253) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States This is such an ugly statement dropping in misogynoir. Mariah wouldn’t support this (Monday 22 April 2024; 13:06) this is a reply to message 106,252

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (106,252) by Lee from USA Tell me about it. Mary has virtually no fans outside of the USA. She only wins accolades out of pity whereas Mariah is selling out concerts. Our girl has met 3 US presidents and gets worshipped by other celebrities. (Monday 22 April 2024; 11:21)

Troll (106,214) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Troll? Umm, I've been a lamb since before she even was calling us that. I've flown to see her a dozen times. My 25 year MC collection takes up an entire room and has its own IG. How intellectually lazy of you to attempt to summarily dismiss my comments as trolling simply because you disagree with them. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 23:45) this is a reply to message 106,212

Troll (106,212) by 123 from USA Is that troll back under the name C? Please get rid of its new alias. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 21:46)

Vocals (106,206) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States The excuses, you've put more into attempting to defend her lunacy than she did on the stage for the show. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 02:29) this is a reply to message 106,188

Vocals (106,188) by Tony Lorenzo from UK Can we all stop complaining about the vocals? She can still sing. These are the issues: 1.) Too-tight clothes 2.) Breath control And they are tied together. Mariah still had the voice, she had just got to use a vocal coach to figure out the breath control she used to have. She should not be too big to think she could do with a vocal coach. Once she works out how to keep her breath in a new, older body, she will be back on top vocally. She'll have extra rasp but will still sound amazing, if not better. By the way have ya'll read Why Mariah Carey Matters? That will definitely shut up all the complaining. (Tuesday 16 April 2024; 03:07)

Las Vegas (106,205) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States As if Mariah hasn't been whoring out that same damn Christmas song and album and re-selling it each year? The hypocrisy. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 02:27) this is a reply to message 106,187

Las Vegas (106,187) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with this. I've seen nothing but good reviews from people who actually attended including them going on multiple dates. She isn't scamming anyone by saying come to this show to get the best vocal experience of your life. It's her celebrating a milestone. Taylor's situation is vastly different where she is manipulating her fans to buy the same songs in different collectible packaging to manipulate the charts and a cash grab. (Tuesday 16 April 2024; 02:53)

Las Vegas (106,204) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States The lambs hate when you use that specific Whitney reference. It's an interesting duo: would you rather her sound horribly all live or perfect completely lipsynched? (Thursday 18 April 2024; 02:25) this is a reply to message 106,180

Las Vegas (106,180) by BFF from United States I agree with you. She's charging way too much money for this show to be so heavily pre-recorded. Wouldn't it be better to just record in the studio and not tour? She really needs to follow Linda Ronstadt's lead and stop doing live shows if she's only capable of a few minutes of live vocals. You can look at Mariah and tell that her heart isn't in it - there's no perspiration coming off of her, she's hardly moving, doesn't look winded at all. Whitney sounded awful during her last major tour (and really should not have done the tour) but at least Whitney sang mostly live. (Monday 15 April 2024; 16:35)

Fatigue/lack of energy (106,203) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What to do? You cancel the show. If she is well enough to take our money, she needs to deliver. She isn't a victim here. She didn't have to do the residency as it's not terribly inspired conceptually. It's a fast money grab so make it worth our while. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 02:22) this is a reply to message 106,199

Fatigue/lack of energy (106,199) by 123 from USA Google is our friend. What does bipolar fatigue feel like? Whether it's due to an episode of depression or a side effect of medication, fatigue and loss of energy are common among people with bipolar disorder. You may wake up after a full night of sleep feeling exhausted, and seemingly simple daily tasks become daunting because the fatigue is so intense. What to do when bipolar zaps your energy? bpHope.com (Thursday 18 April 2024; 00:23)

Las Vegas (106,202) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States You've got to be kidding. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 02:20) this is a reply to message 106,200

Las Vegas (106,200) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly I don't know, could be a lot of things. One could be just out of fear, my aunt had an accident where her shoulder got dislocated, it fully healed but some trauma or something led her to never raise her hand any more above a certain limit. Let's not forget she fell multiple times. One was when she was pregnant with the twins and just flat fell on stage, then the #Beautiful incident. She probably is just scared of falling in public again. But from the footage I saw of the show, she's moving around my herself instead of using 2 men to move her around, which is a start. (Thursday 18 April 2024; 00:35)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,159) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Huh? (Sunday 14 April 2024; 01:10) this is a reply to message 106,156

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did we get the full set list? I'm surprised there's no DFAU. She could have done a medley of One and Only and So Lonely. I saw she started with VOL. That's odd since the show is supposed to be a celebration of TEOM and she had ILT, SIO as perfect openers. Was there a reason behind her doing older songs for a majority of the show and then TEOM later? If so why no songs from albums after TEOM? All things aside she looks stunning, the gold dress she wears at the beginning of the TEOM set was beautiful and very TEOM coded. What I loved about some of the videos are that she was walking around by herself and even did a mini almost sprint. All these visually creates a more engaging show rather than using dancers as crutches. So she'll only get better. I hope with each show she also stops relying too much on the teleprompter but as always her shows getting better with more dates. The stage looks nice and moody very TEOM coded. All things asides I think in person the show was a lot better than whatever we can see from low res videos. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 22:57)

Las Vegas (106,158) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States She definitely doesn't look happy. She looks preoccupied and pulled out. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 01:09) this is a reply to message 106,150

Las Vegas (106,150) by Bobby A from United States Are we surprised that she is using backing and pre-recorded tracks? However, she looks happy and beautiful and that is what counts. As for her being stiff, MC hasn't moved the same since her accident during the MIAM era. Maybe she will get back in the studio during May through July and create some TEOM magic. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 13:49)

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,932) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Those numbers don't make sense. Everyone kept posting that but there were no verified sources to confirm that Daydream has sold 30 million copies (Sunday 10 March 2024; 05:09) this is a reply to message 105,841

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,841) by Stacey from USA It's been a busy week. I was so excited to hear the news. Daydream is such a beautiful album. I can listen to every song. No fillers. (Saturday 2 March 2024; 03:38)
