Packer (111,288)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
I love it. We'll pray for the right man. Men are called to provide, and I bet Nick and Bryan both felt they came up short because you just can't out-earn Mariah. The guy has to be fully aware that she's an exception, not the rule, and her making more money shouldn't emasculate anyone. Literally, we all get it. Mariah is rich as hell.
The one time she's with a billionaire who can actually match her wealth, it blows up in her face. Mariah's insane with money. She sued Packer for $50 million and walked away with 5 to 10 million plus kept the 35-carat diamond ring. I think at this time, she still has residual anger from divorcing Nick so she may have subconsciously lashed the rest of the anger out, on a billionaire.
Bad move though, because after much thinking, and with how Packer has now been exposed in high-profile corruption involving the Israeli Prime Minister who has crazy power in the US government and Hollywood, I'm now inclined to believe that he pulled some strings behind the scenes to get back at her. Their settlement was November 2016, and Mariah's public humiliation happened December 2016. That was such a straight savage move, and I feel stupid for not seeing the picture clearer much sooner. I wouldn't be shocked if Stella was instrumental on this inside job and was paid off as well. I thought Nick sounded stupid when he said, "The government did that," but now I see you can literally draw a straight line from Mariah to Packer to the US government, and it makes perfect sense.
Anyway, my point is that Bryan was truly a godsend to her at that time. I wish their romance had blossomed the first time they met on the tour bus in 2006. Their love story was cute: "We sprawled out over several tables and booths. We'd already started shooting flirty glances at each other in the bus about twenty miles back. We sat across from each other in a booth like eighth graders. We softly touched each other's legs under the table, undetected while the rest of the party roared on." And it's crazy how this is the same man who saved her exactly 10 years later, during what would become the darkest time of her life.

I agree, Bryan is fine and dresses decent compared to Anderson. Mariah looked so happy when they were together. I really wish they were still a thing because they made a great couple. I truly felt Bryan really loved her and wasn't out for her money etc. For a while I felt MC had finally found her man but I guess maybe Bryan wanted a family or there were other reasons why they broke up. Even with Nick I never really cared for him or took him serious because he was sort of goofy, and well look what happened he cheated on her. Like how dare you. I do hope Mariah finds love again one day and that it lasts.

"She could also be talking about when the kids leave for the weekend, or any time they're off with Nick." That's pretty deep. In her book, Mariah took great pride in saying Dem Babies had never been away from her for more than 24 hours. They were about 9 then. But now they're in their teens, and that's usually when kids start gravitating more towards dad.
If I were Mariah, I'd be irritated too. Her twins are around kids she probably has no interest in knowing and she has no idea how those kids are being raised and parented. They could easily be bad influences and I get that they are technically the twins' siblings, but still I'd feel the need to keep reminding Roc and Roe that none of this is normal, and Nick is definitely not someone to model yourself after, in terms of creating a family.
As for Anderson, I agree, he's just whack to me, style-wise. He literally dresses like a clown. He gives off that energy of a kid who didn't get much attention growing up and now clings to being "different", by just dressing weird to stand out. It's clownish behavior, it's actually okay to have normalcy, you don't need to wear a bowl cut wig. Brian truly set the standard look-wise. May have not had the money, but he showed up for Mariah during some of her hardest times. He was solid. I really wish it turned out differently for them. Maybe the twins will tell us which one out of Mariah's boyfriends was their favorite, one day.
Anyway, I can't wait to hear the rest. HFIA might be a three-subject song, like Petals and I Wish You Well. And since it's apparently 6 minutes long, she definitely has room to say a lot.

I agree with you thinking it's about her kids. While it's too early to know where the song goes in the next verse as she said, it changes into something different and more gospel or something like that towards the end. I think when she says, "but when you leave you take a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me" she could also be referring to when the kids leave for the weekend or any times they leave her to be with Nick? Pending this line or verse is indeed about the kids. I feel like my teenage self again in the 90's anticipating the new Mariah album and trying to decode lyrics and decipher who was this about or what does she mean by this?
While I like Andersen, I'm low-key hoping this song is not about him. Andersen seems like another Nick in the sense that he never is home. He's always traveling and DJing, globing across the world. Mariah seems to need stability and I don't know if she's OK with that if they really are a thing or if it was just album related. Something seems a little off with that whole relationship but maybe it's low-key, or maybe it is private, or they are just two adults having fun and going with the flow. In that case it might work. Who knows, but if it is a song about a relationship, I'm assuming it probably was written with Bryan in mind.

Yeah, it's very apparent that she's dependent on something and dependence is just a euphemism for addiction. And that's a great point: a divorce, a failed engagement, a savage public humiliation, never-ending blackmail threats, a heavy breakup, battling for custody of your children, and your estranged sister and mother mysteriously dying on the same day, it's all too much for anyone's mental capacity.
Part of me believes some of these events were orchestrated to fully break her spirit, much like what they tried to do in 2001. I believe her memoir helped her cope with it all, but now she's coping the way she always has, through making music. I pray Mariah maintains her mental resilience and never loses the battle against her own brain.
September 26 truly can't come soon enough.

I hope it's not because of opiads. My grandma needs to take them but she's ill and 92. Is there no chance that a broken shoulder can heal? Do you think the shoulder still hurts? I think it was too much with the loss of her mother and the Bryan break-up. When Edith Piaf lost her love, the famous boxer Marcel, she was never the same. I know off-topic but I had to think of her because I watched the movie "La vie en rose" which is fantastic as a music bio pic. But back to Mariah, I hope she's okay and feels better soon.

"Purple taking me higher, I'm lifted and I like it." Mariah definitely dabbles with THC, it enhances creativity as well. And that's a great point, they say getting divorced is like getting cancer. And I do believe that Nick cheated. She uttered, "I know you cheated on me," during one of her Chanteuse concerts.
It was also so predictable when he completely abandoned Mariah on Valentine's Day. Like, seriously? How do you book something else on that day and not dedicate it to your wife? And considering how many women he ended up with, him cheating being the cause of the divorce wouldn't be the least bit surprising.

There were claims being made in 2018/19 by Stella and the others who brought lawsuits that Mariah was recreationally using THC, prescription medications, and alcohol on a regular basis. Based on footage from the reality TV show, we can already confirm the alcohol and THC. Antidepressants and mood stabilizers aren't generally used recreationally, but anti-anxiety (Valium, Xanax) and pain medications (oxycontin, codeine) definitely are. This discussion makes me wonder if the divorce from Nick was a trigger or if perhaps the divorce happened as a result of whatever has been happening behind the scenes.

Wait, I keep forgetting Mariah went through an actual heavy break up. 7 years. The lyrics do fit Tanaka as well. Maybe he was the initial subject and then she kept editing and added elements of her mom's death? I'm so invested now. I like the song so far.
It being about Tanaka would make perfect sense though. Let's hear the rest.

I really liked the clip of HFIA. I heard say it in one of the interviews that she wrote it a couple of years ago and knew she wanted to name the album after it ever since.
At first after the Selfridges snippet I thought maybe she wrote it for her kids but it sounds like it must have been for Bryan.
.Paak is too recent for a song that's two years old. Speaking of, I know MC is busy with promo and touring but he's nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was just helping her get the album together and they aren't romantically involved?

"I lay awake and feel you breathe and thank the Lord I lived to see the physical embodiment of love" sounds like the last moments with Pat. She realizes her mother really did the best with what she got. She may have been neglectful at times, but that's what happens when there is only one working parent.
"But when you leave you take a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me. But if you need, I'll keep my shit together and internalize the depths of the fears." My thoughts then shifted to Dem Babies growing up and Mariah having a bit of a hard time letting go.
"And baby I'm here for it all. Red carpets in Cannes and applause, Bugattis whatever they're called. Baby, I'm here for it all. Our virtuous sleepover nights that kept me from losing my mind through things I don't care to recall. Still, baby, I'm here for it all." What comes to mind is her watching Mean Girls with Roe in matching all pink pajamas.
The first stanzas could easily apply to her kids as well. It sounds like deep retrospection. Mariah lost her mom, so this feels like an ode to her babies. She knows what that kind of loss feels like, and now she wants to let them know what they mean to her, and that she'll try to be there as much as possible.
Will someone with great ears transcribe the very first snippet? Maybe we can get a fuller picture. It seems like a family-centered song, I like it. The first few lines of the melody are very I Believe I Can Fly. I hear a new song that everyone will be covering soon. Finally.

Mariah in Brazil (111,185)
by Lambi from USA

|

I'm not surprised. This has been the same running theme with the concerts in China as well. I hope a physical therapist help her gain the will to move and be lively again. Lambs are somewhat accepting at this point but the general public will continue to shred her to pieces if she keeps being a living corpse. I know it's all festive and Mariah is winning awards, yay. But it's truly sad where she's at, performing wise. She's moved more when she was pregnant. The injury from 2013 is fully catching up to her, it seems.

Mariah in Brazil (111,184)
by Pedro from Brazil

|

Yes, the look was great, but the concert was terrible. Nobody enjoyed it, and people thought it was awful how she didn't interact with the audience, kept staring at the monitors, and left the stage multiple times for long outfit changes. She barely sang, didn't even try to move around the stage, and now she's been getting a lot of backlash from both the media and fans, many of whom left halfway through the show. I just can't understand this lack of energy in her concerts lately. It feels like she doesn't even want to be there. I don't remember any Mariah concert ever being this bad before. Everyone in Brazil was disappointed.

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,152)
by Lambi from USA

Thanks for sharing. I have so much more respect for JD now. When they insinuated that Mariah's records wouldn't be as big without him, he was quick to correct them, "Nah, don't get it twisted, she's got records that are bigger than the ones I did." Basically saying Mariah is a badass with or without him, and he's just grateful she brought him along for the ride. Unlike Walter's bitter attitude: "She made up some story that she wrote AIWFCIY when she was 12." We love JD.

JD interview on The Breakfast Club (111,106)
by Randy from USA

He starts talking about her at 30:00 on YouTube. It was a little enlightening. He claims she wants to go full out hip-hop. At one point early on she brought Cream by Wu-Tang to him and said I want to sing over that. He also said that she wanted to "rap" more over We Belong Together. I think he meant sing more with fast wordplay. He insisted on her sing that last note We Belong Together. He also said she can sing flawlessly when she wants to. She doesn't want to highlight how well she sings anymore. That kinda makes sense. I have noticed since she started having problems with her voice she wants to put emphasis on her being a songwriter or she thanks God for the gift of making music. She never wants to talk about her voice. MC doesn't want to put the effort into singing at a high level. He also says the audience wants the new Mariah records to sound like the old Mariah records. He says it's a struggle with all artists. They all want to change their sound despite the success and the brand that got them to the top. It was very interesting. In all the hoopla of promotion I thought yall may miss out on this.

Recreate the magic of OSD is real. She kind of kept going with Westlife on Against All Odds. She was laying down all her cards because it's her final hoorah with Sony. And I agree, TGIFY remix is goated, Make It Last Forever sample is genius.

Why the dislike? (111,119)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
It's not that I dislike "Thank God I Found You", I just don't really care for it. To me, it feels generic and overcrowded, almost as if Mariah was unsuccessfully trying to recreate the magic of "One Sweet Day". While I don't think it truly deserved the #1 spot, I can admit it's still a decent song. And no, I'd never compare it to Crapfinity, that one is in a league of hideous all on its own. Mariah had a golden chance to redeem that track with the "Why You Mad Remix", ft big names of the moment like Justin Bieber, French Montana, and T.I., yet somehow the result was even worse. On the flip side, the "Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix)" is fantastic, and I believe it played a huge role in pushing the original to the top of the charts.

I hate it lol, it just doesn't look good on her. I think what bothers me is the boots. Not even Beyonce would look good in that. Also the earrings and necklace age her in my opinion. I like the type of dress she wore at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. I also wouldn't mind a feather type ensemble that gives us Diana Ross.

MC + Busta Rhymes VMA After Party footage (111,120)

I agree, it's always under the guise of "jest" but Busta was dead ass serious. He's always left hearts on Mariah's Instagram posts, I actually believe he has the biggest crush on her. But we all know about Mariah's no dating rapper policy. I also think Busta isn't cute. Who could blame him though? If Mariah sings "Baby if you give it to me, I'll give it to you" on your record, and you're a straight man, you will fantasize about her. There's no escape. Plus she's aging like fine wine.

To be honest, I liked the short jumpsuit, because I hated the leotard moments from 2017. But I will say this VMA jumpsuit is a little too short. The right length was one she wore at Brighton Pride, purple and blue gradient ensemble. Though, I'm happy no one is roasting her like when Madonna wears something outrageous because Mariah actually looks good. The "give it up" commentaries are nowhere to be found.

I see it. I work with Gen Zs. They would roast you but also kind of accept you right away. They would tease and call each other "soy boy" all day then you see them do push ups together right after. It's such a hilarious relationship. Mariah is seemingly nonchalant about everything too. She's embraced the "defrosting" meme and make a whole ass production every year.

To be honest on the contrary. I think the younger generation is just saying she's an unbothered queen, who gets her checks doing the bare minimum which is goals.

She's literally insane with her diamonds. I just saw the whole necklace and earrings set cost 10 million dollars, it's by a Lebanese designer. A total of 204.38 carats. And since this is a milestone, I'm pretty sure she bought it. I follow @Mariahcareystyle_ on Instagram. And I actually cannot fathom Mariah's wealth. She unlocked an infinite money glitch with AIWFCIY. That plus the ridiculous amount of royalties from writing. Her official songwriter profile on Spotify lists 252 songs credited to her as a writer or co‑writer so she is making bank. She will forever have funds to look young and fabulous and be richer than all of the pop girlies.

The outfit was not great, but the speech was brilliant. I was praying we weren't going to get some drunken rambling like we did when she won her award for Precious or when she was inducted into the SHOF, but glad to see she was coherent, well rehearsed, engaging and funny. Her relationship with Ariana is really so nice to see. Sort of like how Patti and Aretha revered and supported Mariah when she was Ari's age.
As for the performance, it sort of is what it is at this point. No movement, badly lipped, but somewhat entertaining. The crowd loved it so I suppose that's what counts.
I loved her plug for the album and that melodic "two weeeeks" line. We are all so excited to hear new music from her. I never wish my days away but I am beyond excited to hear the album, especially Jesus I Do.

So... thoughts on the VMA performance? (111,040)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
To the real Lambilies, this was expected. I was honestly just smiling the whole time, I felt like her bestie hyping her up: "Go girl. Project." But yeah, to the casual viewer at home, this probably came off as stale and a little sad to watch, with her age in context. I thought the general public's sentiment would probably be, "It's time to retire." But I checked the YouTube comments, surprisingly passed the vibe check, it sounded like they are openly just accepting Mariah: "Only Mimi could walk across the stage like a robot and make it iconic." "She gives me everything and nothing at the same time, I love it." LMAO.
I know Mariah is mortified of dancing because when she was a little girl, her aunt once used it as a determining factor if she was black or not. (It's so f***ed up) But I wish she could move past that. Heartbreaker-era Mariah doing choreography was so cute. I actually think she's a decent dancer, she has natural rhythm. Obviously not a showstopper but still entertaining to watch. People are accepting of her giving that little now, but maybe she can give a tiny bit more on the stage presence department.

"For vocalists, there's only one queen and that's Mariah." Ariana is all of us, truly. It probably meant the world to her to present the award. Mariah couldn't have picked a better person.

Ugh I love this for Mariah and Ariana. What an honor for Ariana to present a milestone award to someone she looked up to since she was a kid and someone who clearly shaped her musical career. And what an honor for Mariah to have someone like Ariana, who is one of the most sought after pop stars of this generation, to be so overtly gracious and complimentary of her. Melts my heart to see them be friends now.

No, I literally said the Grammys amplified the divorce. You just randomly chimed in being a strange contrarian for a point I didn't even make.

Daydream is perfection. You're saying it's not. I'm arguing it is indeed perfect. Carey on. I know I will.

Daydream (111,002)

And there it is, the Grammy argument. That was what went wrong? Thank heavens the Grammy argument holds no credibility. I mean, look who they gave the country Grammy too. Beyonce? I will admit I was utterly disappointed Mariah was robbed in 1996, and again 20 years later. But after Beyonce won a country Grammy, I'm glad Mariah isn't more associated with the "scammys". They've become a joke, lol. I forgot to add Mariah changed the trajectory of music by infusing pop and hip hop, aka Fantasy. No, I think I am right on the mark. Daydream is perfection. I'm grateful I lived through that era and get to enjoy the music 30 years later.

Context clue is "resentment" which should land you right on the Grammys. That is what went "wrong". Her industry friends openly talked about that amplifying the divorce. Almost a solid argument but you may have missed the mark completely.

Nothing went wrong with Daydream. Three number one singles, 10 million + in sales, and countless certifications awarded since then say otherwise. "Certified diamonds like the songs I wrote." That era was the height of Mariah's popularity during the 90s.

Digging deeper (110,989)
by Lambi from USA

I'm no psychologist, but I've always been deeply interested in people, how they carry their trauma and how it leaks through the cracks. Lately, I've been trying to understand the emotional wounds Alison left in Mariah, and I came across this haunting piece of retrospection:
"The closer I got to my sister, the more clearly I could see her broken parts. She had secretly gotten me my own phone line, which only she called me on. She would have these desperate bouts of drug-induced hysteria and call me late at night, in the middle of an episode. I'd talk her down off the ledge, then try to go back to sleep, get up early in the morning, and complete the seventh grade. No one at school knew that frequently, just a few hours earlier, I had subdued my suicidal big sister. Killing herself became a common threat that she shared with me in the wee hours before I went to the school bus stop."
Suddenly "I grew up a little too soon" takes on a different meaning. That kind of situation doesn't just make someone mature for their age. It rewires them. It's a child being forced into the role of a lifeline. Not by choice, but by necessity. I don't think I have the vocabulary to fully describe the sickening weight of being a little girl repeatedly trying to stop someone from dying. It must've been disorienting. You learn to put out fires you didn't start, then go to school like nothing happened.
Mariah may have created distance to survive. Emotionally, physically, publicly. But I don't believe that love ever left. When Alison died, it probably wasn't just grief or regret. It pulled her right back to seventh grade. The phone ringing. Her sister on the edge. And her alone in the dark, panicked, trying to save someone who didn't want to be saved.
I genuinely feel for Mariah. She deserves all the love, peace, and safety now. The more I read her memoir, the more I see just how much she's lived through. She's strong in a way most people will never really understand. What a truly remarkable, extraordinary person.

Kai Cenat's stream (110,988)

Great point. She's literally just hanging out with her nephews. I'm surprised she spent so much time on Kai's stream before Rocky's. Mariah has done many lives before, but it's cool to see her being humble around underprivileged youth.

Another thing I remembered of her being very humble in this interview is that when she came in she pulled her own chair, didn't make a fuss about lighting and angles and just was very chill. No makeup artist or hairstylist running in and out fixing her hair.
