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

Mariah, on fire (109,226) by Zachariah from Croatia I tried both options - zero results. When I try to register, there is some kind of blockage for Croatia and I can't register. So dumb that they didn't post it on YouTube while everything else is. (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 12:04) this is a reply to message 109,216

Mariah, on fire (109,216) by Bobby A from United States You can watch the full show at BET.com with a 24-hour free pass by signing up on their website. [Webmaster: Or you can check their YouTube channel to see if the performance is already uploaded.] (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 16:06)

Mariah, on fire (109,214) by Zachariah from Croatia Where can I see the performance? I am trying to find it on YouTube but nothing. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 15:13) this is a reply to message 109,212

Mariah, on fire (109,212) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so BETs. Tell me why this woman looks like she's still in her early 30s. She looked absolutely breathtakingly stunning and every bit the mega star she is clad in that gorgeous gold mini dress fit for the music industry's golden girl. I liked that she was more playful with the performance, I do wish she wore more comfortable shoes so that she had the confidence to strut around by herself and strut onto the stage during the opening of the song it would have made it more fierce but I see her trying and I'll take it. I absolutely loved her second look too, she looked so angelic and pure and her speech was amazing. The little humor, her embracing her diva and extraness. This is a new Mariah era not just album wise but personally too. I also hear her team discounted the song right after BETs a smart move. I'm liking how her team is handling her so far. The roll out of this era has been amazing. I can't wait for the video. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 13:04)

BET performance (109,209) by Bobby A from United States Now that is how you do it. I loved it. MC's speech was short and sweet. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 06:08)

Type generous (109,158) by Zachariah from Croatia She is giving us pure art. So generous. I am so happy and proud to be her fan since 1990 and living in this era as well. She will show them all who rules this business and who deserves all the respect. Mariah, Croatian fans are behind you. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 16:06)

Type? Mariah (109,088) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed regarding hip-hop songs. I always liked that Mariah more than ballads crybaby Mariah. I wish she would stick with this style on the new album. (Friday 6 June 2025; 10:09) this is a reply to message 109,081

Type? Mariah (109,081) by Tony Lorenzo from UK Ecstatic. Fresh, original, yet quintessential Matiah, who is her own genre. I've always preferred her hiphop/rnb joints to her ballads, and she's leant into the genre on steroids. Amazing music that features her silky voice but with no need to wrap them around overly difficult melismas etc. I've been saying forever that she should ditch balladeering and utilise her vocals on stuff like this, and jazz, club tracks. Her lyricism is too good to be held back by the need to be belting all the time, especially when that style of singing gets increasingly hard the longer you do it. Her main strengths, even in the era of stuff like My All and her incredible ballads, was never her voice, which sounds absolutely crazy because she was unsurpassed vocally, with only one real peer in Whitney. It not being her main strength is not to denigrate her voice at all. It's just that her lyric writing, and her production skills are even better. Her song construction, her melody-writing, her wit... these things are what make Mariah Mariah. In some ways her vocals being so good have been responsible for her continued underrating. People focus on the vocals and high notes and miss the intricacy of her construction. You don't lose those skills, they improve. Hence the need for new music, despite her vocals having reached their peak a while back. She can still sing but perhaps doesn't feel like she needs to fall back on the voice as much any more so she can hit us with bops for the club, which are always the best songs on any of her albums. The chorus on this track is a slice of sonic bliss. Her rapping is perfect. The references are there. Based on this track, I'm anticipating yet another major renaissance for her, akin to Emancipation. She should with the strength of this, if kept up, be able to clock another couple of chart toppers. 20 has the perfect ring to it. And wouldn't she deserve it? Imagine what a beautiful narrative for someone's career that would make? The industry chooses who to focus on and blow up, just like it chooses who to ignore, or finish off when its decided their time's up. Well Mariah is proving her time aint up. The music industry should support this rebirth. Let Mariah bask in icon status like she literally deserves. Because these young guns thinking she only sings about Christmas need to know why she was one of the top musicians stretching over three (at least) generations. She is timeless. I pray the radio supports based purely on its quality. I don't fully understand how best to market music these days, but radio stations should be bussin this out every day. Yes there will be a cohort of old fans complaining it aint Hero Two. I could not be more dare I say it proud, and excited, and happy with this track. It had better be the launch for the fully deserved renaissance. She did it before, she can do it again, so long as the industry plays fair. (Friday 6 June 2025; 07:36)

Show some humanity (109,013) by Zachariah from Croatia My comment was so poorly edited that it does make any sense and it lost meaning what I was trying to say. Who ever did it - thumbs down. [Webmaster: I did not edit a single word.] (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 07:37) this is a reply to message 108,985

Show some humanity (108,985) by Zachariah from Croatia "A real fan knows." What does she means when she says in interviews or during concerts "my real fans know etc etc"? (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 07:50)

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,926) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed regarding the quality. It is... a mess. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 15:37) this is a reply to message 108,912

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,912) by jaker20 from US I'm sorry but that sounds awful. It sounds basement quality done by 12 year olds experimenting on a remix. If Mariah approved this, then she's completely lost it. (Friday 30 May 2025; 21:39)

Eternal 12 (108,883) by Zachariah from Croatia *cat face (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 07:34) this is a reply to message 108,880

Eternal 12 (108,880) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't see that she had plastic surgery. I mean, it is not visible like when people get that car face or those puffed lips or similar. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 23:35)

Europe (108,881) by Zachariah from Croatia Croatia is a must to see. Beuatiful coastline and nice people. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 23:39) this is a reply to message 108,869

Europe (108,869) by Bobby A from United States Okay. I am planning my first trip to Europe in 2026. I know I want visit Capri where MC recorded some tracks from Charmbraclet. (Monday 26 May 2025; 18:54)

Eternal 12 (108,876) by TJ from Norway Do you guys think Mariah and Chris Jenner have been to the same plastic surgeon? They have some similarities in their faces at the moment. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 14:42)

It's time (108,843) by Zachariah from Croatia I think [it's time] to raise our concern like Britney fans did for her and speak out more loudly. The interview was very cringe to watch. We need to protect her and make sure she is doing the things she wants to do, or not to do and not be pressured by others. I don't want, in the future, for her to have another number on hit or an album on number one position while she is lying in a grave (God forbid) and the whole world is [mourning] her departure from this world, like Whitney, Prince, Amy Winehouse. It is an awful thing to write, but somebody had to do it. (Friday 23 May 2025; 14:45)

The Mimi sessions (108,814) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed, I liked it. I always appreciate rich lower tone than a high pitch. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 08:16) this is a reply to message 108,811

The Mimi sessions (108,811) by Brian_S from UK/Netherlands Has anyone seen The Mimi Sessions? This is Mariah's current voice, I kinda like it how full her lower register sounds. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 02:07)

At the end of the day (108,781) by Zachariah from Croatia Reading this messageboard - I wouldn't count on that. If someone would make a list of haters and suck ups of others, 80% of us would fail to hold "think-we-all-just-want-for-her-to-be-physically-and-emotionally-well" club card.

Biopic (108,767) by Zachariah from Croatia This is so disrespectful. (Monday 19 May 2025; 09:01) this is a reply to message 108,756

Biopic (108,756) by Bill from the UK Those that know me also know lists bring me joy. For completeness, here is the current most up to date download of reasons why Mariah can't or doesn't sing anymore. Let me know if any need adding I've forgotten. 1. Ear monitor malfunction 2. No humidifiers 3. Too cold 4. Too hot 5. Stage fright 6. Corset too tight 7. Heels too high 8. Preserving her voice 9. Scared of Michael Jackson's casket 10. Didn't want to upstage the Queen of Soul 11. Wanted to respect her peers 12. Bronchitis 13. Stressful divorce/break up 14. Arm in a sling 15. Pregnant 16. Not pregnant 17. Nodules 18. Too many splashes 19. Medicated 20. Backing singers missed their cue 21. Backing singers singing her part now baby 22. Foiled by Dick Clarke Productions 23. Late for the sound check 24. Not enough sleep 25. Too much sleep 26. Bipolar 27. Food poisoning 28. Mic wasn't turned up 29. Shit happens 30. Avoiding wrinkles (Sunday 18 May 2025; 11:15)

Great gowns, beautiful gowns (108,764) by Zachariah from Croatia She did great and she sang live 90%. I was very pleasantly surprised. (Sunday 18 May 2025; 19:32) this is a reply to message 108,755

Great gowns, beautiful gowns (108,755) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Looking at all the pictures of Mariah performing in Shanghai, all I can say is that her stylist has step up the game and able to pick dresses that carry the classy image. Even her ponytail makes her look neat, clean and current. Big hair is so yesterday. Great gowns beautiful gowns. That's all. (Sunday 18 May 2025; 04:28)

There is no album, it's all facade (108,740) by Zachariah from Croatia Exactly, wrong singles and uninterested videos. I still have a bitter memory for Migrate not being released as a single with a proper video. Ugh. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 20:12) this is a reply to message 108,738

There is no album, it's all facade (108,738) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think she's lying about working on music, but I also don't think she's as invested in making an album. What I mean is as a songwriter she must constantly be getting tunes and lyrics in her head and she probably writes it down or does a quick demo but never actually goes full into production. I'm deducing this from her saying she has 10 songs she just needs to add vocals etc. I also think after the flop of her last few projects she's scared of releasing new stuff because no matter what people think numbers are a big deal to her, it's her flex, so she's scared of losing. But what she should know is her last few albums didn't flop because of lack of quality, it was because of wrong single choices and bad videos that no one would rewatch. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 14:25)

Get Your Number (108,736) by Zachariah from Croatia GYN was a big hit here in Europe. I love that song. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 10:01) this is a reply to message 108,728

Get Your Number (108,728) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok I'm here to rant. I was rewatching the Mimi videos and tell me why GYN isn't a big hit. The song is catchy AF, I love Mariah alternating between rap-style and singing. It's such a sexy song and I love how it kinda flips the table and has a female empowerment or alpha female vibe to it because she's the one making the moves on the guy, buying him drinks, telling him not to be shy and flexing her luxury lifestyle. The video is done so well too. I love every scene and Mariah looks great in every shot especially the white blazer look. The video has great visuals, a celebrity cameo, a story line overall great replay value. It's sad not many people know this song. I mean come "I got a pip penthouse with a sick hot tub, we can watch the flatscreen while the bubbles fill it up" yas Mimi. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 18:55)

New Mariah album (108,722) by Zachariah from Croatia Well, being from Europe and the only Mariah fan amongst my group of friends, this is an everyday question - does she have any other songs except All I Want For Christmas Is You? They just don't know any other songs. Or think, when they hear something on the radio, that that is Whitney Houston or similar. I have a trouble with seeing her behind the scenes all bubbly and funny and engaged and then on the stage, she is like a Robocop. I think she sounded good and I thinks she is focused to not miss a tone or to hit hose difficult ones, that's why she is so stiff and "worried" on the stage. I mean, if I was lipysincing, I would walk around, dance a bit and just be playful. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 11:46) this is a reply to message 108,719

New Mariah album (108,719) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "The world wants a new Mariah Carey album right now." Why do you think that? I hear or read that nowhere. The world thinks Mariah is only relevant during Christmas. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 10:08)

Born this Mimi (108,698) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't understand the reference or the point. Overdramatic? I just asked what is the problem with the Mimi nickname all of a sudden. (Saturday 10 May 2025; 18:53) this is a reply to message 108,697

Born this Mimi (108,697) by Edward from USA Don't be overdramatic. Did you know Mariah is re-releasing TEOM? Maybe she shouldn't. It's been 20 years. (Saturday 10 May 2025; 03:22)
