Re: The next album (93,172) (93,176) by Bill from the UK I'd rather see what her and Ben Margulies would come up with these days. There was a freshness to their songs and, with Walter, you sort of know what you're going to get. All the Carey/Margulies compositions were unique and different in their own way.

Re: The next album (93,164) (93,175) by Lainsky from Philippines Agree however, if she will revisit an album sound as blueprint or baseline for the next album, the debut is undoubtedly good but Daydream or Music Box would be better. These two albums catapulted her to the peak of her career in the 90s and became the standard of the succeeding female artists especially the Daydream. Caution is good I really liked it but it did the same mistakes of releasing or wrong single choices. She needs to give an album like this a rest and go back to her true pop diva self. Her old fans absolutely miss hearing those pop ballads and uptempo like Fantasy or Dreamlover and her new fans will love to hear her on her present voice on this sound. If only Mariah can read these clamours. (Thursday 5 March 2020; 04:22)

Walter A (93,174) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Walter A is a done deal in Mariah's world, she has had plenty of success post Walter. The fact that he has tried to diminish her talent as a songwriter every chance he can nowadays why should she work with him again? Honestly speaking they have created great music together, and made history along the way but truthfully they no longer have a great relationship, and I feel like it is no need for them to work together because they may not have the same chemistry because of the creative differences they experienced during the creative process of the Butterfly album.

Re: The next album (93,170) (93,173) by Bobby A from United States I would love to see MC do an album in the vein of Slipping Away, Everything Fades Away, Do You Think Of Me, and Melt Away. All of these songs have one thing in common. That is she only worked with one producer while she wrote lyrics. I have been saying Ryan Tedder, Babyface, Darryl "DJ" Camper, and Harmony Samuels could help her craft another well received album after Caution. Throw in Jasmine Sullivan, Taylor Parx, Diane Warren, and Claude Kelly for some help. An album with no rappers would help to signify a mature Mariah that debuted 30 years ago. If I could get another Vanishing and Alone In Love, I would be elated too. Let's hope she's locked up in a studio for the next 4 months trying to give us a new album. (Thursday 5 March 2020; 01:37)

Re: The next album (93,170) (93,172) by Susana from USA You're absolutely right. We can still wish and request her to work with him. We can like the work and not the person. Maybe she can look at it as simply a business deal. I know she doesn't look at the music she creates that way, but she can't deny the money that "one" song has made for both of them. I mean it's still a creative process for her, so maybe she will consider it. (Thursday 5 March 2020; 00:56)

Best background music and instrumentals (93,171) by Aliya from Canada Hey everyone. What do you guys think is the song with the best instrumentals? I think "For the Record" has really great music that complements her voice. I also like the instrumentals for "One and Only". I also love "Make it Look Good" instrumentals. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 22:43)

Re: The next album (93,165) (93,170) by T from USA The last time she "revisited" the first so albums while working on a new one was MIAMTEC. According to Nick Cannon. And although I see some aspects in the ballads and the throwback dance tracks I'm not sure she had the best guidance at the time and the execution was slightly off. I do think the right producers would help her craft songs fitting of her beautiful talent. I also think Walter A, salty as he may be, is one of those producers. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 22:31)

Re: Spotlight (93,167) (93,169) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks for the link. I have the "Devotion" album and I really love her music. Great voice, great artist with class. How rare is that today. Didn't know that there's a new song out there. Fantastic. It's good to know that are still some new songs for grown-ups and not only for the school kids with the horrible beats that all sounds the same. There's also a new singer from UK, who sounds a bit like Amy Winehouse (forgot her name something with C?) who defenitly brings back the good old soul. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 20:58)

Re: Mariah's styling (93,162) (93,168) by Bill from the UK If that is to be the case, then we need to bring back Hat-riah. Keep the breasts covered, show less skin, keep it classy. It really is time MC hung up the glittering leotard and embraced the strong, confident, accomplished, revered legend that she is and has rightfully earned. I always thought her look was best in 1996-1998 when she was earth toned up with her make up. It suited her colouring perfectly, enhanced her naturally big features without going down the clown route, and complimented her hair style, whether dark or light. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 20:19)

Spotlight (93,167) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Jessie Ware is better known for her perfect soundtrack quality ballads more than uptempo hits, but this new song from her is just proof that she can pretty much do no wrong. Classy stuff. I really hope this is further proof that classic dance tracks are gonna dominate 2020. All the trap beats we have been subjected to the last 2 years has been nauseating. I appreciate the genre and it is awesome when done right, but it was just too much in retrospect. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 18:46)

Chucky Thomson / One Sweet Day (93,166) by Billy from Greece Here's a nice little interview. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 17:29)

Re: The next album (93,164) (93,165) by Susana from USA I agree with you that she should go in a different direction from Caution. It by far my least favorite of hers. I would say she isn't afraid to go back to a trued and true formula of her 90's hits since she completely embraced and loved the reaction to her latest #1, and I don't mean going back to work with Walter. I would love to see a song from them working together, but I know as salty as he just was, I don't see that happening. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 16:59)

The next album (93,164) by T from USA First off, I loved Caution. And it is a nice addition to her vast discography. However I do think another album in the same vein would have just about the same level of success. I understand that nobody should make music depending on how it will do in the public eye but she still is Mariah Carey. And she still should have some level of success. The only thing I can think of is because we're in the 30th anniversary year maybe she could revisit the debut album as a blue print. I would even have a reunion with Walter A and see what happens. I mean I believe if anyone out there can have Adele like numbers it's still Mariah, with the right songs of course. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 15:05)

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,161) (93,163) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines And you took their word for it. Sure, it is highly unlikely that Mariah herself is a member of this board. But it wouldn't be so farfetched to think that a member of her team can. Besides, you don't have to be a member of this board to see members' posts. Regardless of the amount of hate on this board which I still believe is more of constructive criticism than actual hatred, there's not denying the fact that this is one of the most enduring fan sites for any artist ever, and I don't think it would have lasted that long if the webmaster filtered out all the negativity. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 14:38)

Re: Mariah's styling (93,158) (93,162) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I don't think anyone here is denying that how she looks now is definitely an improvement from her image during that dark period. But is it AI era amazing? Hell no. The 2010s taught us a lot. Our general attitude and outlook towards anything Mariah in this board has gone from defensive reverence and blind allegiance to a much humbler "it'd be better if she did this, but I guess we take what we can get" one. Consistently harping on her vocals is different, but styling is something that she actually has complete control of. And since it's becoming more and more apparent that someone from her team is checking on this board, we might as well respectfully put out other ideas for improvement aside from the usual setlist tweaks and other musical suggestions. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 14:28)

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,160) (93,161) by We are Lambily from USA Lol B, Mariah would never be a member of this message board, a few years ago someone asked someone in her team. She is aware of the board but I hardly believe she thinks about it. Too much hate here. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 12:51)

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,150) (93,160) by B from USA Finally, something we agree on. I also believe that Mariah or a member of her team is a member of this board or at the very least visits it regularly. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 05:31)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,128) (93,159) by B from USA I listen to TEOM more than E=MC2. The only song I skip on TEOM is To The Floor. On E=MC2 I skip I Stay In Love, Love Story, Last Kiss, O.O.C., and Bye, Bye. Mariah only began incorporating R&B into her music on TEOM? Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Mariah always made R&B music? Vision Of Love is an R&B song, it topped the R&B charts before it topped the pop charts. Even at her poppiest her music was still steeped in R&B. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 05:25)

Re: Mariah's styling (93,155) (93,158) by B from USA Her ensembles aren't as bad as they were during Stella's reign of terror. Besides she looks amazing. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 05:15)

Re: Everything fades away (93,152) (93,157) by Licia from USA I didn't watch the first season, but I did watch her sing Chandelier on YouTube. That's when I knew it was her. She sang down on that song. (Wednesday 4 March 2020; 04:55)

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,151) (93,156) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Lol just banter mate. Lighten up. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 22:53)

Mariah's styling (93,155) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The problem with Mariah is that she equates sexy with the amount of skin shown. She'll always go for the outfit that exposes the most amount of skin over a well-fitted more conservative powersuit, which I believe she can pull off well. But since she insists on the less is more approach, that's what the stylist is left to work with. Janet has been covered up in the last decade and is somehow just as sexy as she was wearing next to nothing in the 90s and 00s. Mariah, on the other hand, has had significantly more misses than hits in the last decade with her wardrobe choices. But when she gets it right, she knocks it out of the park. But these days, it's like, honey, I don't care if that dress is a 100k Balmain, if it makes you look like a badly wrapped whole sushi roll, then that label isn't worth much. Not everything has to be skimpy and skin-tight. Not even flawless makeup and phenomenal hair can make up for poor wardrobe choice. There are other dresses that aren't ballgowns or restrictive, ill-fitting ensembles. Pants do exist. Stilettos aren't the only footwear around. And no matter how expensive they may have cost to achieve, your set of rambunctious twin girls don't always have to compete with your set of actual twin kids for public attention. Yup, her look during the AI era was so on point with only very few misses during the auditions, but everything she wore for the live shows were perfect. It was probably because she was specifically being styled for TV. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 20:40)

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,150) (93,154) by Bill from the UK Plus let's not forget my prayer for the St John the Divine concert to be released came true. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 18:55)

Re: Everything fades away (93,146) (93,153) by RibbonB from USA Not bad, thanks for the link. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 17:32)

Re: Everything fades away (93,147) (93,152) by RibbonB from USA Listen, I'm still mad that Gladys Knight didn't win in the first season. Her performance [was] iconic. I still wish she would release Chandelier right now. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 17:31)
