About Giovanni from USA: Big music lover who loves Mimi.

Jesus I do (113,724) by Giovanni from USA While we're addressing the current state of Mariah's voice and how she sounds on HFIA, I have to say I think Mariah sounds fine on "Jesus I do". It's one of the few songs on the album where I don't think she could have recorded it any better. God is the only one who can give Mariah her voice back so going the gospel route would be wise. I really hope she works with The Clark Sisters again because they did an amazing job and [I'm] so proud of Mariah for making such a great gospel song. It's now my favorite song on HFIA. (Tuesday 28 April 2026; 09:20)

JD (113,723) by Giovanni from USA I disagree about Caution being better had JD produced a few more songs for the album. Caution is perfect the way it is and it's one of MC's best albums and a no skips for me. This is Mariah at her best in my opinion. (Tuesday 28 April 2026; 09:13)

Hark. The herold angel's sing from Hallmark special 2015 (113,703) by Giovanni from USA One of my favorite Mariah performances. Her mic was on that night and she looked absolutely perfect. I miss this Mariah and this voice. I don't know if some parts were lipped because I couldn't really tell but she definitely was singing and sounded good in my opinion. Mariah was meant to sing gospel and Christmas. I know she's given us so much but I'm so bummed out we never got a gospel album. (Saturday 25 April 2026; 10:36)

Jesus I Do (113,701) by Giovanni from USA Congratulations to Mariah as "Jesus I do" moves to #4 on the Billboard gospel chart. A truly amazing accomplishment and song. I know a lot of people who like this song and want a gospel album. (Saturday 25 April 2026; 10:03)

Stacy (113,700) by Giovanni from USA I agree, like you I very much enjoy HFIA and believe it's some of Mariah's best work but would be much more enjoyable if Mariah's voice sounded better. 2009 Mariah would have ate HFIA up easily and delivered better vocally. I'm still grateful Mariah gave us another album and I believe the next will be better or as good. Mariah is at the point in her life and career where she needs to discipline herself more for her voice. I truly hope she rests and takes things easier. (Saturday 25 April 2026; 09:57)

2010 voice (113,680) by Giovanni from USA If Mariah were to revive her voice I would just wish she could sound like she did in 2010 on her second Christmas album. Perfect angelic tone and strong. (Monday 20 April 2026; 05:22)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,679) by Giovanni from USA If Mariah has no plans to retire and wants to be successful again and wants to get her voice back I think naming her next album The Revival Of Mariah Carey would truly be the best album title of her career and would make a statement. I thought when she released her memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey that it would have been an excellent album title. I wish Mariah would get a new circle of people/team. I would like her to rest more and work on her voice and come back with a new album in 2027 or 2028. I was so sad and angry at all the horrible comments I read on social media regarding her recent performance at T&Co. She was getting dragged left and right even commenting on her hair. She definitely has lost respect from the public and not just as of now, for awhile. Sadly she's seen as a joke to many as it's all about the glamour and less about her voice. I hope those of you who are religious can keep Mariah in your prayers and ask God to help and protect her. We already lost MJ and Whitney we cannot lose MC. (Monday 20 April 2026; 05:15)

Here It For All (113,678) by Giovanni from USA I agree Bobby, what needs to happen is for Mariah to get the nodules removed. I already had posted that I wouldn't say anything about it anymore but after reading the comments on social media regarding her performance Tiffany &Co. I had to. Mariah needs an intervention and someone to tell her like it is. I want the best for her and don't want her to ruin her legacy. I know she can do it but she needs a new circle of people and a new team. (Monday 20 April 2026; 04:52) this is a reply to message 113,677

Here It For All (113,677) by Bobby A from United States I listened to the ballad HFIA today and you can tell MC's 90s voice is still there underneath all that is ailing her vocal chords. I hope MC finds a doctor who can help improve accessing her range again. I believe miracles can happen if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed. (Monday 20 April 2026; 02:29)

Mariah at Tiffany & Co. (113,644) by Giovanni from USA Mariah looked nice and was singing live at Tiffany & Co. but it's so painful and hard to see her so medicated. I saw her sign some autographs and she looked so robotic and out of space. It's not only sad but scary because it's like she's being controlled in some evil way. I thought she sounded decent but completely disconnected from reality. Even if she was retired from music and had no contracts I still would worry. She's 57 and is handled around like she's an elderly woman, it's weird. And before anyone comes at me I love Mariah and I think my posts prove that it's just hard to see her this way. (Saturday 18 April 2026; 00:21)

Nikki (113,643) by Giovanni from USA I enjoy your posts Nikki, please keep posting. I'm not a "yas man" but I do agree that some of Mariah's fans can be her biggest haters. I like everyone here except for maybe a few but we're all entitled to our opinions. (Saturday 18 April 2026; 00:10)

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,606) by Giovanni from USA Not just her TEOM voice Bobby even her Caution voice. I hope MC rests and takes things slow. I believe she can sound amazing again as she's proven time and time again. (Monday 13 April 2026; 06:00) this is a reply to message 113,600

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,600) by Bobby A from United States If MC had at least her TEOM era voice in 2026, she would be recording a new album and getting ready for a tour in 2027. I think she has reached a point with her current voice that we shouldn't expect a full new album or tour anytime soon. Now unless she receives some vocal PT sessions with a vocal coach, we will have to wait to see how she sounds in 2028. Maybe I am wrong and JD is working his magic in the studio pairing his bounce with her current voice. His bounce hasn't been paired with her current voice until this year.

MC17 (113,605) by Giovanni from USA I don't know if I asked this before so if I did I apologize. What direction do some of you want Mariah to take with the next album? For me I would like more r&b with a touch of pop. Unfortunately r&b is kind of dead right now, most artists are doing pop/adult contemporary. Mariah was able to pull off r&b with Caution so maybe she could do it again but I think she needs something like "Beautiful" or "Dreamlover". I heard Pharrell Williams was contacted by a legendary female artist so I wonder if it was Mariah, Beyonce or someone else? I just hope the next album makes more noise and doesn't have anymore 2 minute songs lol. (Monday 13 April 2026; 05:56)

Faded / I don't (113,604) by Giovanni from USA Ugh both these songs deserved better especially "Faded". Production is so good and reminds me of music from 2005/2006 and her belting at the end reminds of her belting on TEOM. "I don't" is actually good too and should have been on Caution but "Faded" is one of my favorites from MIAM along with "Dedicated" and "You don't know what to do". (Monday 13 April 2026; 05:47)

Penthouse (113,602) by Giovanni from USA It's so shocking and sad at the same time, that place is so badass and iconic. Her episode of Cribs is probably the best and was my favorite, so many memories there for her I'm sure. I'm gonna miss seeing her walk out and having paparazzi waiting to take pics. Mariah is a superstar in NYC with paparazzi. I am so curious as to who will purchase that luxurious crib. (Monday 13 April 2026; 05:35)

HATE U remix (113,534) by Giovanni from USA Okay I just wanna say as a fan I do not care about SUD, I want the Angels Advocate album released. I was just playing the "HATE U" remix and it's a bop. Mariah sampling Ghost Town DJs "My boo" is fire. Just imagine if she had sampled it during the Butterfly era. Mariah is definitely the queen of remixes and I am proud to own The Remixes album. No other female artist can and will never do a remix like MC. (Friday 3 April 2026; 06:47)

Honey (113,533) by Giovanni from USA Funny I have been playing "Honey" on a loop along with "My all", "Fourth of July" and "When I close my eyes". "Honey" is my favorite Mariah song along with "Dreamlover" and "Don't forget about us". Mariah ate with "Honey" and it's so raunchy how it's all one man, Derek Jeter haha. That man must have rocked her world. (Friday 3 April 2026; 06:39) this is a reply to message 113,529

Honey (113,529) by Bill from the UK I had to stop by to say that I've been listening to Honey ad nauseam recently. The song is pure ear candy. The merging of the two samples and how well they come together, the cascading strings, the wall of sound vocals, Mariah's rasp in her voice. What a launchpad to the "New Mariah" it was. And that video. Iconic and epic. That opening verse as she meanders around that slinky beat is pure fire. What a song and what a moment it was. (Thursday 2 April 2026; 20:15)

Glitter (113,532) by Giovanni from USA You all didn't have to do MC like that, I understand Mariah is no Meryl Streep but it was her first movie role, give her a break. She was better in Tennessee and Precious. Mariah definitely made an improvement and I'm sure with acting lessons she would have been better and could have done more roles. The Glitter album is good and I agree her voice bounced back from Rainbow and was more fuller and stronger. It's very interesting to hear the voice transition from Glitter to Charmbracelet. (Friday 3 April 2026; 06:31)

Brandy (113,511) by Giovanni from USA Congratulations to Brandy on her Hollywood Walk of Fame star. She deserves it and I'm glad she got one. Brandy is an r&b legend and "Have you ever" is still one of my favorites. I wish she and Mariah had collaborated because they're [sic] voices blend so well together. Mariah could have easily done "I wanna be down" and Brandy "The roof". (Tuesday 31 March 2026; 06:13)

Crybaby (113,510) by Giovanni from USA Ugh MC went off in this song. Those vocals are so good and some of her best. Damizza did his thing too with the beat and production. I don't care for Snoop Dogg though lol. One of my favorites from Rainbow. I heard Ariana's next album was inspired by Rainbow and Butterfly, we shall see. (Tuesday 31 March 2026; 05:57)

Rainbow interlude (113,499) by Giovanni from USA Hearing Mariah sing a little snippet of the Rainbow interlude was everything, she sounded good and looked happy. I hope she had a good "anniversary". (Monday 30 March 2026; 02:37)

2026 (113,498) by Giovanni from USA All these rumored projects are a little exciting. I just hope MC works on her voice because I wanna see her thrive. I really think if she took it easy on the meds, drinking and worked with a vocal coach she could remain some of that angelic tone and range. It has been very interesting seeing a lot of artists express their love and admiration for her. MC still has it she just needs to work for it if she wants it. If anything she can definitely win another Grammy and have more amazing live performances. (Monday 30 March 2026; 02:35)

Happy Anniversary (113,479) by Giovanni from USA Happy Anniversary Mariah, I hope you have another good one and wish you many more. Your voice is legendary and nobody will ever top it. (Friday 27 March 2026; 20:26)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,462) by Giovanni from USA Mariah needs someone like you on her team. I like your thinking and yes I definitely want another Christmas album. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 15:33) this is a reply to message 113,460

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,460) by Zachariah from Croatia 1. Do the vocal surgery. Even if it means losing her high pitches, I really don't care. Talent can not be surgically removed and she can sing in a different voice. 2. Release SUD. Hard. With rejuvenated self. With a new voice. 3. Tone down the diva attitude and connect with every day people. 4. New Christmas hit with rock vibes. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 14:28)

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,461) by Giovanni from USA Yes to everything you posted. I wish you were a part of Mariah's team or circle so you could give her all your ideas and suggestions. I have been wanting Mariah to work with Pharell again. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 15:24) this is a reply to message 113,459

My wish for MC in 2026 (113,459) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking today after hearing T.I.'s Let 'Em Know that MC needs to get back into the studio with Pharrell this year. I know he can give MC a fresh beat that could make Hot 100 radio play MC again. 1. MC's needs another DJ Mustard collaboration. 2. I would love another collaboration with Ariana Grande produced by Nova Wav. 3. Where is our long overdue JD collaboration? It could be the song that becomes her 20th #1 song easily with a Chris Brown and Justin Beiber feature. 4. MC needs a movie theme song next year. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 11:51)

2012 Mariah on GMA talking about Whitney and healthcare (113,458) by Giovanni from USA I wish Mariah would go back to this look for 2026. I like the hair short and I love the style of dress. It reminds me of the dress she's wearing on the back cover of the debut album. Also you can hear how younger and clearer her talking voice was compared to now. Some of her best looks and moments were from 2012 and 2013. (Wednesday 25 March 2026; 04:27)
