About Zachariah from Croatia: Mariah Carey fan and professional member of automotive community - both got me feeling emotions.

Sugar Sweet (110,223) by Zachariah from Croatia I am not so surprised. The song is good but she should have released it by her self and not with two features in a song. Video should have been already out and not with a delay. And the last, it should have been released as a third single. Type Dangerous is epic comparing to this and the single after should have been an extension of it but with a more powerful beat. Caution was also missing the song with a strong powerful beat. A No No was close but then, not quite. So, if I was on her team or whoever is dealing with her now - release the SS alone, video out now, and next single should be a ballad but ballad that will stop the world in their feet and be amazed. Otherwise, this album is going to be missed from the horizon. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 17:29) this is a reply to message 110,220

Sugar Sweet (110,220) by BFF from United States I am a little surprised by the performance of "Sugar Sweet" in comparison to "Type Dangerous". I prefer "Type Dangerous", but "Sugar Sweet" seemed like something that would have more mass appeal. "Type Dangerous" seemed to do relatively well with radio airplay initially, but I guess that doesn't really count for much these days? (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 15:28)

Sugar Sweet (110,214) by Zachariah from Croatia That was my thought when E=MC2 came out and Migrate not being released as a single. I am still mad about it to this day. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 08:01) this is a reply to message 110,213

Sugar Sweet (110,213) by Bobby A from United States I listened to Honey yesterday and wondered why a song like Honey wasn't released as 1st single or 2nd single. I know it may be difficult for MC to sing high and low notes with riffs and runs with ease now, but there are ways around it with letting the beat of a song standout more letting her voice "ride along to the beat". Songs like Take Your Time by the SOS Band and Call Me by Sky are examples of female singers letting their voices "ride along to the beat". I remember hearing these two songs on the radio growing up and instantly was hooked by the female singer's voice on top of the beat. Here is Sky's Call Me. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 01:19)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,212) by Zachariah from Croatia No worries, got it. We are here for it all. (Wednesday 30 July 2025; 00:38) this is a reply to message 110,204

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,204) by Terna from Nigeria Exactly, and it makes sense, who stays the same even in just one year? That's why I responded to you. The intent behind one's messages here is always discernible whether good or bad even if disguised as "love" or "concern". (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 19:57)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,193) by Zachariah from Croatia And I just responded to a message where she was being slammed for not staying the same. I just realized; am I the OG that everyone is being mad at? (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 110,178

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,178) by Terna from Nigeria Getting uncomfortable I see. Lol. I wasn't the one who insinuated or brought it up, I just responded to his message and acknowledged he got that part, he's black too as he stated and gets it. "Butterfly" never did the numbers "Music Box" and "Daydream" did for that one fact. It is an R&B/HipHop album. Facts. But look at how highly rated that album is in contemporary music today. It is also her "Magnum Opus", she achieved her best work, being her authentic true self. I haven't "crowned" myself poison or anything negative here, as you put it, I'm not the one spitting vitriol out at Mariah here masked as "OG Love", from the OG Coven. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 11:47)

Article: The making of Mariah Carey (110,164) by Zachariah from Croatia The suit look - what a presence. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 07:40)

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,101) by Zachariah from Croatia Hm, let's put it down like this; go back 30 years (this is for lambs who are following Mariah from day one) and try to remember yourself back then. Done? Ok. Now see yourself today. Somehow I doubt that you all are the same person. Because I am not. I was gullible, shy, very introverted, afraid to say something and just followed others. Today, I am unrecognizable. She is still a nice person and our Mariah - who gets her, gets her. Who doesn't, doesn't. (Sunday 27 July 2025; 00:19) this is a reply to message 110,090

The evolution of Mariah Carey (110,090) by MusicfanJ from Germany Jamie, Edward I absolutely feel the same about Mariah. It's good to know some longtime fans also miss the authentic, lovely Mariah. I miss the natural Mariah. "She was sexy without even trying, and that voice was just next level. That combo is what made her so special." So true, that was something beside her voice that made her so unique, so loveable and even relateable. For me this will always be the real Mariah. Of course we all change a bit with age, but most people stay indeed the same just wiser and older with luck. I do wonder what made her change so much too? Sometimes it feels like she hides the humble Mariah inside. I understand it can be a shield or something but it must be more than that. The "Joy to the world video" is one of my favourites. Not because it's so good, no story I know, but just seeing an already global superstar, having so much fun, looking so carefree, a diva but with a big heart and humour, Mariah was never more beautiful, more adorable than when she's "not trying".

Jimmy Kimmel (110,046) by Zachariah from Croatia I liked that. (Friday 25 July 2025; 13:31) this is a reply to message 110,040

Jimmy Kimmel (110,040) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't want to be rude, but with her breasts popping out she looked like a hooker. (Friday 25 July 2025; 13:04)

Article: Mariah keeps it nice, neat, "sugar sweet" on new single (110,036) by Zachariah from Croatia I love it. Such a great summer vibe. I can just picture the video. (Friday 25 July 2025; 12:22)

Here For It All (110,027) by Zachariah from Croatia Glitter is a no skip album for me. From top do bottom. Adore that album. Rainbow as well. Butterfly is a whole another level. TEOM is good from number 1 until 7, then I just skip to 14, 15, 16, 17 (de luxe edition). (Friday 25 July 2025; 08:17) this is a reply to message 110,009

Here For It All (110,009) by Bobby A from United States I understand better today the reason why just 11 tracks because of the hype statement on Record Store Day's website. The hype statement says: "Here For It All is Mariah Carey's new forthcoming project with Gamma. This album marks the start of a bold new era for Mariah. It balances her legacy with fresh cultural relevance and pop significance." MC hasn't had an album you can listen to without any skips since Butterfly. Here For It All is going to be that no skips album. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 17:13)

Image over substance (109,987) by Zachariah from Croatia I have an issue with your statement regarding her looks. If anyone of the celebrities that I see, she looks more natural than any of them. I can't see lip injections, filers or whatever women torture them self with these days (Kardashians reference). If she did had job done, she has done it pretty damn good because she looks normal and not like a cat in heat. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 10:52) this is a reply to message 109,984

Image over substance (109,984) by TJ from Norway I agree with all you said. As you said about the walls, I think she spend too much time listening to her old music and that doesn't give her new ideas or inspiration. As Cher said when the interviewer asked her about listening to her own music, she was like "No, I'm not a big Cher fan." I have got the impression that MC is a big Mariah Carey fan. She obviously hate aging, and I believe she is obsessed about looking perfect at all time, also on stage (look at her performances in 1990-91 and compare the facial expressions then and now/or the early 2000). Some people call her a vampire because it looks like she's not aging, I would love if she didn't put all that poison in her face and rather aged naturally with grace and style. It's too much plastic now. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 09:32)

Covers (109,983) by Zachariah from Croatia I like all three covers because I can see the connection of previous photos of her - first one has written Glitter all over, third one reminds me of a photo shoot she did when she had lace cover over her face and the second one reminds me from a photo shot back in Butterfly era when she is sitting on couch with wavy hair and touching her toes. Regarding the shady, bitter and bad vibes here - what do I know, I don´t even go here. And I had to google and ask my daughter what the hell does that mean. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 08:01)

Physical copy (109,939) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't see why wouldn't be. We are here for it all. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 00:09) this is a reply to message 109,926

Physical copy (109,926) by Jamie from UK Do we think the physical copy will be available in the UK too? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 17:26)

Physical copy or... (109,912) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, am I weird for buying a physical copy although I don't have anywhere to play it (car is brand new with no cd player and at home, I don't have any cd players)? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:38)

Here For It All (109,888) by Zachariah from Croatia I can totally see the Glitter connection. If it was pink, it would be even more obvious. (Monday 21 July 2025; 20:10) this is a reply to message 109,876

Here For It All (109,876) by BFF from United States I like the title. Hopefully the 9/26 release date doesn't make the album conflict too much with whatever Mariah has planned for the holiday season. I remember "Caution" being released in mid-November 2018, which may have contributed a bit to its low performance. I like the album cover, the pose reminds me a bit of the "Glitter" album cover except with eyes open. (Monday 21 July 2025; 16:36)

Article: Mariah Carey announces new album "Here For It All" (109,883) by Zachariah from Croatia I love the tittle, simple but firm and with the statement. Super excited. (Monday 21 July 2025; 18:05)

Album announcement tomorrow (109,862) by Zachariah from Croatia I almost peed myself from excitement. (Monday 21 July 2025; 00:08) this is a reply to message 109,852

Album announcement tomorrow (109,852) by Bobby A from United States MC will reveal the details of her 16th studio album tomorrow at 10am eastern time. The wait is finally over. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 21:10)

Special guests (109,837) by Zachariah from Croatia I prefer if she didn't have anyone on that single. I don't even know who this people are. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 02:05) this is a reply to message 109,836

Special guests (109,836) by Bobby A from United States I see your point, Bill. Well, it looks like Sugar Sweet will have all female guest artists. Kehlani posted MC's Sugar Sweet on her Instagram story today. It looks like she may be on the bop. Now if we get Mariah Carey ft. Kehlani and Summer Walker then I would be so happy. Five more days before we get the full track. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 01:41)

The problem with Brad and hating ass hoes (109,813) by Zachariah from Croatia Go where? I don't understand. (Friday 18 July 2025; 20:36) this is a reply to message 109,810

The problem with Brad and hating ass hoes (109,810) by Edward from USA I know you have a lot of feelings, but you don't even go here. (Friday 18 July 2025; 17:00)

The problem with Brad and hating ass hoes (109,808) by Zachariah from Croatia Yes, this board is (with capital letters) very unfriendly but only from one clique that is constantly diminishing love towards Mariah from others who, according to them, are not worthy to be her fan just because they don't have the latest info on anything similar regarding her career. I literally joined here somewhere back in 2006 exactly because of that, to be informed, to read the news, to get the latest "411", to feel seen and accepted since no one was into Mariah amongst my group of friends. In my part of world, we only got general info but I wanted more. I learned here so much and always refreshed the page to see if something new came up. I didn't came here to see insults, constant shade, outwitting and similar behavior. Loving ass hoe from Croatia. (Friday 18 July 2025; 14:19) this is a reply to message 109,801

The problem with Brad and hating ass hoes (109,801) by Brad from USA This board has gotten very, very nasty and unfriendly. Truth is, I have been on this site and board longer than ALL of you. But your reaction has shown, the people I enjoyed speaking with in 1998 are no longer here and, for good reason, I do not enjoy speaking with the people now on this board. See ya. (Friday 18 July 2025; 02:18)

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,767) by Zachariah from Croatia It would be great is she releases that. And even more if it would actually be good and a hit. I think people, who are not her hard core fans, would be pleasantly surprised.

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,766) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think the most freely record/project would be "Someone's ugly daughter". I wish it would be released as a bonus just for the fans. But I know what you mean. At the latest "Glitter" every album was indeed completely "free". We'll see what Mariah means with her new free album version. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 11:06)

One Heart One Voice (109,761) by Zachariah from Croatia That's how I feel about Type Dangerous. It is on repeat even more than 3 weeks ago. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 23:49) this is a reply to message 109,751

One Heart One Voice (109,751) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain After 2 weeks without listening to this song (I've been really busy), it doesn't seem bad at all to me. In fact, I think it's a beautiful song and very well done. Overall, Mariah is the most creative one in her vocals, but the most restricted of the three. Anyhow, maybe we were a little too critical of all of it when it came out. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 11:08)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,755) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she looked her best in that video. I used to watch it on repeat. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 15:28) this is a reply to message 109,754

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,754) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You don't know how many times I used to play and sing along to "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" in the summer of 2008. I still do some times. It's a real pity that it wasn't promoted properly. It could have been a hit. And Mimi in the video, wow. By the way, I've always loved "I Stay in Love" as well. In fact, a dog of mine was called "Baby, I stay in love with you" (short version: "Baby") after the song because, when he was a puppy and I would sing that little part around him, he used to come to me. So that became his name, but in the singing mode. Lol. Everybody got amazed whenever I sang his name and he would appear from wherever. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 14:24)

New album (109,711) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed. I'll Be Loving You Long Time is perfect for a nice drive down the road next to the sea with the top down. My kids love it as well. (Sunday 13 July 2025; 12:28) this is a reply to message 109,710

New album (109,710) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "For the record". For me it's the best song of the album. E=MC2 is really the perfect summer album. (Sunday 13 July 2025; 12:14)

Unpopular opinion - alternate universe (109,689) by Edward from USA Welcome to the Twilight Zone, my dear. You've just stepped into the alternate-twin-universe version of the MCArchives Messageboard, where logic takes naps, reason time-travels, fetch did happen, Mariah made up the word emblazoned and the webmaster might actually be your cat. Be careful, things are not what they seem in here. (Saturday 12 July 2025; 04:50)
