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

Old vs new (108,605) by Zachariah from Croatia He means that we don't like whining songs. Taylor does that annoyingly very good, unfortunately. I need It's Like That, Heat, Migrate, Touch My Body, Obsessed, etc Mariah. (Wednesday 23 April 2025; 14:02) this is a reply to message 108,603

Old vs new (108,603) by TJ from Norway What do you mean? (Tuesday 22 April 2025; 17:47)

Friday feeling (108,601) by Zachariah from Croatia I am more a fan of after 1997 and until now. I never liked "pop goody two shoes" Mariah. (Tuesday 22 April 2025; 09:31) this is a reply to message 108,597

Friday feeling (108,597) by TJ from Norway I am in the same category. Mariah Carey 1990-1996 just killed. Those lyrics, that voice. Listening to the live versions of her debut album is just out of this world. Her voice changed on every album, and I was "scared" back in '97 when she released Butterfly. The voice that we knew was gone. I don't think fans or lambs post 2000 understand what kind of artist she used to be. I'm just glad to have experienced the extreme power that she had at the time. At some point she has to get rid of her stilettos, swimsuits, gowns and the newly rich trash style, and use normal clothes and flat shoes. I guess she would look better in stuff from HM than what she wears now. My dream is that she is going acoustic and simple on stage, like the unplugged concert. Lose the attitude, kill the inner diva and be a humble human being. Be real. She shouldn't try to sing the songs like she used to, but in a way that fits her voice. Peace out. And have fun at the beach. (Monday 21 April 2025; 12:02)

My All and WBT (108,580) by Bobby A from United States What makes My All and We Belong Together such difficult songs for someone to cover? (Wednesday 16 April 2025; 09:09)

MiMi20 CD (108,578) by Zachariah from Croatia That would be all great if I knew how to do that. I am stupid regarding those things so I will just do it over YouTube or Spotify. (Tuesday 15 April 2025; 08:40) this is a reply to message 108,577

MiMi20 CD (108,577) by Edward from USA Does your car have a USB port? If so, just rip your CDs to FLAC format, load them onto a flash drive, plug it into the car's USB port, and you're all set. Assuming your car supports FLAC playback, of course. (Monday 14 April 2025; 16:50)

MiMi20 CD (108,576) by Zachariah from Croatia I miss my old car. My new car doesn't [have] cd player at all (I guess no one does anymore) so now I have to listen everything on Spotify. I loved putting on CD inside and just [enjoying] the music without damn commercials and similar. (Monday 14 April 2025; 11:24) this is a reply to message 108,575

MiMi20 CD (108,575) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. "A compact disc played through a decent hifi set up (with a Digital to Audio (DAC) converter) will sound absolutely fantastic." I love my Pioneer hifi music system with the speakers. Almost all cd's sounds great on it. It's a listening pleasure. So it works pretty good. The guests also enjoy the sound of it.

New hair (108,504) by Zachariah from Croatia It is giving me Glitter vibes and I love it. I wish she would do Glitter 2. (Thursday 3 April 2025; 07:47) this is a reply to message 108,497

New hair (108,497) by Brandon from USA I love the pic of MC on her anniversary with bangs in her hair. She looks beautiful and more youthful. It's definitely a throwback and I hope she rocks that look for a bit. It would be a nice change from the usual style she wears. (Tuesday 1 April 2025; 16:44)

Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,489) by Zachariah from Croatia Oh I know all pre Butterfly stuff since I am a fan from 1990 but when I heard Fantasy with ODB and then Butterfly with Honey Bad Boy Remix, Breakdown with The Mo Thugs Remix and then Glitter with all the Hip Hop influence and so on I realized that I liked that Mariah more instead of belting ballads Mariah and such. It came to that, that I rarely listen to the first three albums any more. (Sunday 30 March 2025; 11:07) this is a reply to message 108,486

Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,486) by Stacey from USA You're missing out on a lot of great pre-Butterfly music. I tend to prefer pre-Butterfly MC, but that doesn't stop me from finding those gems post Butterfly. I'd be missing out on a lot of great stuff. Just sayin'. (Saturday 29 March 2025; 20:57)

Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,482) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't even listen to original Fantasy, only O.D.B. version. But I a lamb who stopped liking old Mariah and is a fan of after Butterfly Mariah so I am not the one to ask. (Saturday 29 March 2025; 15:43) this is a reply to message 108,481

Favorite Mariah Hip-Hop collaborations (108,481) by BFF from United States I was talking to someone the other day about how I felt the ODB version of "Fantasy" is a bit overrated and played out. It's the one that everyone knows - I actually quite like the original version and the House remix more. Though I do appreciate the "Me and Mariah go back like babies and pacifiers" line. I use that one a lot. What do you all think? Favorite Mariah hip-hop collaborations/remixes? These would be my 10 favorites 1. My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix) 2. The Roof (Mobb Deep Extended) 3. Breakdown (Mo Thugs Version) 4. Crybaby 5. Always Be My Baby (So So Def Remix) 6. Underneath the Stars (Drifting Remix) 7. I Still Believe/Pure Imagination 8. Honey (So So Def Remix) 9. Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) 10. Heartbreaker (DJ Clue Remix) I never really cared for "I Know What You Want" with Busta Rhymes. And I still feel like Mariah's golden period for these collaborations was that 1997-2000 period. (Saturday 29 March 2025; 14:29)

Happy anniversary (108,462) by Zachariah from Croatia Happy anniversary to our sweet hero diva and to anyone who is celebrating on this day the same event. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 08:19)

Overreacting (108,412) by Zachariah from Croatia My head is spinning from of all these conspiracy theories that I see here. Give a woman some rest. (Monday 24 March 2025; 13:45)

Did I click on the JLo message board? (108,391) by Zachariah from Croatia It is sad. Very sad. (Friday 21 March 2025; 07:45) this is a reply to message 108,389

Did I click on the JLo message board? (108,389) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Very pathetic to insult other fans on this messageboard, just because you don't agree with their views. Me too misses the old, down to earth Mariah. So all these insults are also directed at me. (Friday 21 March 2025; 02:52)

I am trying (108,364) by Zachariah from Croatia She was buzzed and celebratory. Calm down. It's her and it is the way she is. As a fan since 1990, I expected nothing else. Of course she will mention lighting and ensemble, it's her humor and jokes on her account. You should be familiar with that as a fan so far. Her real fans get it and that is only that is important to her. She doesn't care about the others. (Tuesday 18 March 2025; 20:01) this is a reply to message 108,361

I am trying (108,361) by Randy from USA People have called me evil, a monster and Satan on this board for years. I really said I would start being more positive once I realized what we do to our superstars i.e Whitney, Prince and Michael. But when I saw MC talk about the lighting and her ensemble at the beginning of her speech last night, I was devastated. At a time I'm trying to make everyone around me take her, her catalogue and artistry seriously for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote, I just felt like a fool. And what burned me up even most was all the 'Yass queen, slay' in the YouTube comments. Do they know the genius that once resided in that hollow shell? I'm tryna get people to take her as seriously as Joni Mitchell because I really believe in her talent that much. I have to wonder was she high or drunk last night. I just feel so stupid for blaming Stella for that era or Jermaine Dupri for MIAMTEC's rollout. A lot of Mariah's problem is Mariah. Get some help. PS I did enjoy her mentioning Pat. Oh and I guess she and Anderson Paak are a thing. Eric where's the barf emoji? (Tuesday 18 March 2025; 15:20)

"Bianca" (108,337) by Zachariah from Croatia I wish she would turn into Bianca, in terms, not to be polite to people who don't deserve that and telling what is exactly on her mind to people who are trying to ignore her or ridicule her for her behavior. She is always polite and politically correct, but I think she is old enough to just say "phack off". (Wednesday 12 March 2025; 10:16)

Precious (108,314) by Zachariah from Croatia "Tennessee" is an amazing movie. I really love it. (Thursday 6 March 2025; 00:00) this is a reply to message 108,312

Precious (108,312) by BFF from United States I highly recommend that you watch "Wisegirls" and "Tennessee" in addition to "Precious" if you haven't. The roles that Mariah took in those movies are much more substantial and grittier than the parts in "Precious" and "The Butler", and they really allowed her acting talent to shine through. That song "Right to Dream" from "Tennessee" is just incredible. I honestly think "Glitter" is worthy of reappraisal - I often wonder if substantial portions of the filmed scenes were cut out to get the PG-13 rating and to adjust for the fact that Tommy and J. Lo sabotaged the "Loverboy" single, which was an integral element of the movie's plot. They definitely had to add the new version of "Loverboy" in during post-production. To me, Mariah's almost "awkward" portrayal of Billie works well because it lends an honesty and authenticity to the insecurity Billie feels from being abandoned by her father and mother and how she feels as a mixed race person. You can tell that, like Mariah, Billie worries that the rug can be pulled out from under her at any moment. She worked with a very non-mainstream director (Vondie Curtis-Hall), whose only other film credit at the time was "Gridlock'd" with Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth. She made very non-mainstream choices for which music from the 80s to focus on (R&B and club scene rather than pop). It seemed like all of the elements were there for something great and interesting. But the filming delays, the last minute pivot to the "Rainbow" album, the sabotage of the soundtrack, the delayed releases, Mariah's mental health struggles. It all felt so unfair to Mariah, and she just kept getting hit with poison darts left and right from basically 1998 to 2001. The reviews for "Glitter" were bad, but I think hardly anyone saw it (including critics). The film is definitely better than "The Bodyguard" in my opinion. (Wednesday 5 March 2025; 15:20)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Vote for Mariah (108,208) by Zachariah from Croatia Done? (Thursday 13 February 2025; 10:35) this is a reply to message 108,204

Voice (108,185) by Zachariah from Croatia I am thinking about this topic more often these days so I wanted to ask for your opinion: what would happen if she went for surgery on her vocal cords, lose her high notes but she gets back her strength in the voice? Would you be happy with new sounds of the voice or would you miss her old voice? (Wednesday 12 February 2025; 09:48)

Frustrated lamb (108,174) by Zachariah from Croatia It could be that. Just remember when you are in love and have that partner beside you - you think like you can conquer the world and overcome any obstacle. She is missing love, support and that certain other. (Tuesday 11 February 2025; 12:29) this is a reply to message 108,168

Frustrated lamb (108,168) by Shezz from Pk There had been a steady decline in her stage presence and her effort and enthusiasm in the last 10 years but I can't be the only one who noticed the sudden steep dip right after Tanaka left. Whatever their relationship was, she seemed happy and had that spark in her eyes every time he'd be on the stage with her. He kept her excited and happy in life and on the stage and he was the one if I remember correctly who directed the With You AMAs performance. He was her partner in life and on the stage and he made her happy. It was the same spark she had in her early years with Nick. Mariah I think is the type who needs stability and a partner to be excited about other things in her life and there's nothing wrong with it. It's one thing to get over such a relationship in your 20s and a whole other in your 50s. I hope she finds her happiness and her way again. (Tuesday 11 February 2025; 06:36)

MC doing the Superbowl (108,173) by Zachariah from Croatia Oh thank God that somebody said it. I was thinking am I the only one who was shocked by the lame halftime show, with constant bad lighting, words I didn't understand and this beef with Drake - I don't know nothing about that so I didn't get it. They say that his performance was layered and it has a message but I guess I missed it. (Tuesday 11 February 2025; 12:26) this is a reply to message 108,171

MC doing the Superbowl (108,171) by Bobby A from United States After that lame performance from Kenderick Lamar, there will never be another rapper who will get the chance to do the Superbowl half-time show. His performance was horrible. It was something you would see Pepsi sponsor at a summer concert series. I agree with Randy. MC would have more engaging that what Kenderick Lamar gave us for 13 minutes. I am so sick of his beef with Drake. Lady Gaga or Beyonce will be the Superbowl half-time performer in 2026.

Lead The Way (108,169) by Zachariah from Croatia I love that song. Glitter is a masterpiece. My second favorite album after Butterfly. (Tuesday 11 February 2025; 08:48) this is a reply to message 108,166

Lead The Way (108,166) by BFF from United States "I'd given up hope Losing the faith that love Could be mine to treasure..." I've had this song on repeat the last couple of days. It's the perfect song for when someone unexpectedly comes into your life. You had thought about giving up and worried that you'd end up alone, but you can feel the winds shifting. That's the vibe I'm on right now. Thank you, under-appreciated ballads of the "Glitter" era. (Tuesday 11 February 2025; 00:58)

Make It Happen live performances (108,152) by Zachariah from Croatia I always liked performance from "Live At Today Show Mall of America". (Sunday 9 February 2025; 22:09) this is a reply to message 108,146

Make It Happen live performances (108,146) by Lainsky from Philippines Of all her live performances of "Make It Happen", VH1 Divas Live 1998 is my favorite. I will never get tired of watching it. The hair, the outfit, the raspy voice, the choir, the band, the stage, and the audience's engagement through dancing are all perfection. How about you, what's your "Make It Happen" live performance throughout the years? (Sunday 9 February 2025; 11:01)

Please (108,134) by Zachariah from Croatia Let's just hope that the song will be good and not boring. (Friday 7 February 2025; 11:58) this is a reply to message 108,133

Please (108,133) by Edward from USA When Celine and Barbra recorded "Tell Him", Barbra was 55, same age as Mariah is now, but she gave Celine a run for her money. I know it's a different time and context, but I had hoped Mariah would be at a similar vocal level now. Given that Barbra is almost 83 and Mariah's voice is what it is, the duet will likely be very subdued. Let's hope for the best. (Friday 7 February 2025; 04:51)

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,116) by Zachariah from Croatia I am tired of collaborations. I don't approve this. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 10:34) this is a reply to message 108,113

Barbra Streisand and Ariana collaboration (108,113) by Shezz from Pk Wild rumours circulating about Mariah having done a song with Barbra S and Ariana reported by many sites for Barbra's next album. One site actually reported Walter A is the album's producer. (Wednesday 5 February 2025; 03:53)
