I Had A Vision Of Love (92,132) by Will from Australia I've read online that the memoir is called "I Had A Vision Of Love" and is due in September 2020 but I hope that's not true as the title is a bit meh for me (Friday 3 January 2020; 23:46)

Re: New album (92,126) (92,131) by Dove from United States You're right, marketing and money does make a huge difference. Otherwise how can we explain Gweneth Paltrow winning for Shakespeare in Love? (Friday 3 January 2020; 23:45)

Re: Article: Carey struggling to sell tickets in Las Vegas (92,127) (92,130) by Dove from United States I agree. It's time to take a break from Vegas. (Friday 3 January 2020; 23:30)

Re: New album (92,120) (92,128) by Bobby A from United States If she does come out with a new album in 2020 competition for radio airplay and album sales are going to be more than in 2019. Sza, Justin Beiber, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, Max, Kesha, Brandy, Beyonce, Monica, Sam Smith, Normani, Ariana Grande and many more are dropping new albums this year. I forgot that Adele is dropping a new album this year too. 2020 is going to be hot for new music. (Friday 3 January 2020; 22:35)

Article: Carey struggling to sell tickets in Las Vegas (92,127) by RibbonB from USA Might be a good time to take a break and for her to craft new music. She does have all those extra dependents to clothe and feed though, so we might see the same cycle as the last few years. (Friday 3 January 2020; 22:17)

Re: New album (92,125) (92,126) by We are Lambily from USA Caution's streaming and Caution's radio plays are unfortunately not on par. It's been streamed almost over 400 million times yet I hardly heard it on the stations. It's one of the reasons r&b has died a bit, the pop stations don't play those records anymore. They are left to ac and urban stations. Which is okay, but music wasn't this restricted back in the days, the big labels pay a lot of money to get there artists played, look at Lizzo. With the right team willing to spend you can have your old songs become a hit. People are simple, they can hear a song too many times and they will love it. How many of us have hated a song we heard on the radio and after a while you love it? (Friday 3 January 2020; 21:36)

Re: New album (92,109) (92,125) by enwar00 from usa And also annoying. (Friday 3 January 2020; 21:19)

New album idea (92,124) by Dove from United States Even though I love Mariah's original songs sometimes they're so ahead of their time that I don't fully appreciate them until years later. I kinda want familiar and gimmicky right now. I feel like it's faster to put together and gets attention. I feel like radio doesn't play her because the majority of the younger audience isn't interested. Just like on the singing competition shows, the younger contestants usually win. Honestly, I get it. Even though I'm sure Tony Bennet and Barbra Streisand are super talented, they sound old timey to me and I'm not really interested. They're before my time. I feel like we need something that will catch people's attention so I'm on board with the duets album but only with women, and only great singers who have been popular, and (most) who were obviously inspired by Mariah. Leona Lewis, JoJo, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Adele, Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Gaga, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, Lauryn Hill, Brandy, Katharine McPhee, Pink, Alicia Keys, etc. Not super popular anymore but I love Fantasia's voice. I love Jewel's voice too but not sure how it would sound with Mariah's. I mentioned this before but I think it's a good idea so I'll mention it again: remake some of her songs into songs for God. If One Sweet Day becomes a #1 hit it could be the longest running #1 hit again. (Sidenote: I know Christina Aguilera over-sings sometimes and she said negative things about Mariah going crazy but she was young back then. I'm sure she regrets it. I'm not a huge fan of hers because she seems snobby and acts like she's better than everyone but she is one of the better and more popular singers of our generation.) (Friday 3 January 2020; 20:51)

Re: New album (92,106) (92,123) by MusicfanJ from Germany Barbra Streisand is an artist. She has an unique voice. Her voice is very special. Even if you don't like her songs or music genre, Barbra is great. (Friday 3 January 2020; 19:47)

Re: New album (92,103) (92,122) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Insightful. Think you're probably spot on. (Friday 3 January 2020; 19:39)

Re: New album (92,108) (92,121) by Andrew from the United Kingdom It's just propaganda ranted by the latest teenage stan who thinks that unrelenting and unending support that sinks into embellishment at best and lies at worse must be heard at all times. I've been reading the board for about 10 years and it is a constant truth that there is a childlike emotionally unstable and intellectually devoid propogandist present at all times. As soon as one exhausts themselves (or hopefully gets a grip) they disappear to be replaced by another. There have been so many. They come and go. (Friday 3 January 2020; 19:37)

Re: New album (92,095) (92,120) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I should do comedy about as much as you should do English comprehension, dear. If you reread my post I said that it was not the radio stations that were ageist for they only play what their listeners want to hear. It is primarily young people who listen to new music and new artists. Thus that music is played back to them. Case in point: this website is primarily (going from most of the representations made by the posters here) consumed by people in their 30s to 50s. Essentially living for an ageing artist long since past her prime. My parents only listen to artists mainly from their younger days in which their artists were in their prime. They listen to radio stations that play this music. Noteably, they are incredibly unlikely to purchase new music. That is fine and normal. They are not of bad character. They are not themselves "ageist". And nor are the stations playing the music they want to hear to them. Your sarcasm only serves to highlight a lack of intelligence and comprehension. I invite you to park your excitable emotions and take a more reasoned approach to life. (Friday 3 January 2020; 19:29)

Re: New album (92,095) (92,119) by Bill from the UK Believe would have been a hit had it been sung by a 50 year old or a 20 year old. It is simply just a great song. Cher's name and delivery is of course not to be overlooked, but a good song is a good song is a good song. (Friday 3 January 2020; 19:18)

Re: New album (92,103) (92,118) by jaker20 from US It is negative and morbid. She's not in retirement home. It's ageist and an insult to anyone working in their 50s and beyond, which makes your comment also unrealistic. 2 to 3 albums is you proposing she should retire in 5 to 10 years. With her level of career, and success that is highly unlikely. But you seem to suggest that's all she's capable of. Music and singing is her life and passion. That is what she is, and artists will do their passion as long as blood flows through their veins. Again, the Streisand example. She slowed down for a while and who also got interested in other things. But that doesn't stop from delivering 15+ albums to this date and I'm sure she's got a lot more to give. Are you saying Mariah isn't capable of that? Mariah and her voice is adapting as we have seen in Caution. Just like everyone else on earth, we adapt with time and age. (Friday 3 January 2020; 18:08)

Re: New album (92,111) (92,117) by Musti from UK She's definitely a fan. I remember her singing the opening line from The Way We Were back when she did the Homecoming Special in 1999. She also said this about Barbra. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:31)

Re: New album (92,106) (92,116) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada In addition to Barbra's credentials that Eric listed, Mariah herself pays homage to her song "Evergreen" in "Giving Me Life". I love Mariah, but there is absolutely no need to put down the work of other artists - even if said artist is not your cup of tea. I would not be sad if Mariah fans could completely stop doing that. It is not cool. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:23)

Re: New album (92,105) (92,115) by Musti from UK I'm happy to wait another decade for the jazz album. But she should definitely do it. I've always pictured her doing a tribute album to Sarah Vaughan. It's criminal how this lady's talent is so overlooked. Her songs from the 1940s alone are enough to become an instant fan. Interlude, It Might As Well Be Spring, I'm Glad There's You, Tenderly, etc. Plus this gorgeous song. Depressing I know, but still breath-taking. I'd love to hear M's take on these songs. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:17)

Re: New album (92,108) (92,114) by We are Lambily from USA My point still stands, Mariah is a [sic] artist unlike Barbra. She actually writes and produces her own stuff (like Barbra does). Barbra is legendary but she ain’t close to Mariah. She has a impressive movie career, but I honestly haven’t watched one of her movies. Mariah Carey is the greatest female artist and that’s all I care about. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:17)

Re: New album (92,087) (92,113) by B from USA Radio isn't ageist? God bless you. If you only knew how wrong you are. Maybe it's different across the pound but in the US once a woman hits 40 her career is considered over (world-renowned actresses, dancers, models, and singers have all spoken openly about it). Just because you don't like Mariah's latest album doesn't mean it isn't good. It received universal acclaim because it's an amazing album. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:10)

Why (92,112) by B from USA Instead of fighting with each other and rehashing the same old talking points why not celebrate the success of AIWFCIY and how it has secured Mariah's legacy and improve the odds of her making another comeback. I performances everything she did this year from her performances on The Late Late Show, the clips with YouTube influencers, documentary, and the new music video for AIWFCIY. Let's leave the negativity in 2019. (Friday 3 January 2020; 17:08)

Re: New album (92,106) (92,111) by B from USA Mariah is a fan of Babs (listen to Giving Me Life). (Friday 3 January 2020; 16:41)

Re: All My Life (92,107) (92,110) by B from USA Mariah owns the Glitter soundtrack as a part of her exit from Virgin she was given ownership of the masters. It most likely has something to do with the rights to the movie. (Friday 3 January 2020; 16:40)

Re: New album (92,108) (92,109) by Edward from USA Eric, thanks for the correction. The legends should be respected, they didn't sleep their way to legend status. Putting other artists down to put Mariah on a pedestal is childish and ridiculous. (Friday 3 January 2020; 16:04)

Re: New album (92,106) (92,108) by Edward from USA I promised myself I wouldn't respond to your made up facts. Barbra, just like Mariah, is legendary. Her voice is also special, don't get it twisted. While Mariah writes her own lyrics, Barbra Streisand is also an actress with 5 Oscar nominations and one under her skirt. Before you post nonsense, do some research. Stop making a fool of yourself. Webmaster: Barbra Streisand won two Academy Awards. One as an actress (for "Funny Girl") and one as a songwriter (for "Evergreen"). She is the only woman in history to win the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. (Friday 3 January 2020; 15:36)
