Serious question (112,640)
by Lambi from USA

|

Bobby A, you're too nice. I did the math, if you averaged all of Kelly Clarkson's records. She wrote about 35% of songs on her albums. Objectively, she's nowhere near Mariah's league. MC wrote all of the 11 tracks in her debut. Pretty much kept that same principle in all her records ever since, aside from the occasional covers.
I thought JoJo was going to be Mariah's predecessor, she wrote 11 out the 14 tracks in her debut album. That's impressive for a 13 year old. She was innately prolific. And I thought she was going to keep developing her writing and become a solid writer as an adult, but nothing really much came of her career.
It's actually kind of hard to think of another artist on par with Mariah's level of prolific songwriting and vocal excellence.

Keith Sweat said nobody. Lol. I think he is right. Celine has never come close in her career because she is not a songwriter. Kelly Clarkson could have been if she didn't start her talk show.

Who is actually Mariah's closest formidable competition in terms of being a complete singer-songwriter? Is there anyone who genuinely matches her combination of vocal prowess and songwriting talent? Who?

Idol was a PR move for E=MC2 release. I really don't think Mariah hates covers. She's literally so happy whistling along to Dreamlover when a girl with a simple guitar was singing it to her. I think she hates it when they smurf around with the arrangement too much. Or when producers have the audacity to make her sing with objectively bad singers. Like what do you mean? LMAO.

Knowing how she MC feels now, I wonder why she allowed American Idol contestants to cover her songs when she was a judge. Anyway, since MC can't sing her songs like she used to, MC doesn't want videos of others out shining her in 2025.

With the exception of I Pray, one she wrote for Paul Robbins. That was an objectively good song but it was basically written just for a dream come true segment on the Oprah show. For one freaking episode.
I also like Last Chance, a song she wrote for Allure. Decently good song. Shame the girl group didn't really take off. I guess Mariah did kind of start with giving away somewhat decent songs. But her true monstrous hits are still kept to herself. Hopefully she hits a stride soon on writing for others, now that her voice isn't as good. Give others a chance.

Female singers are scared to cover Mariah in an official commercially released song. That would be shooting your self in the foot. Ari did Emotions on YouTube just to make a statement on her vocal capabilities, other than that, no other major popstar really dared. The only commercially released cover that kind of stood on its own was David Cook's take on ABMB. But it's because he's a true musician and completely made it Rock Alternative and he did it well. It's like Open Arms in reverse. Soulful RnB to Rock, and Rock fanatics absolutely embraced it. Mariah openly praised it during Idol as well.
None of her songs are really "cover-able" anyway, they're all too personal and Mariah crafted the music specifically for her voice only. I can't ever hear anyone covering Inseparable or I Wish You Well or Joy Ride or For The Record. They just won't do a good job. If they do, they'd probably make it mellow and acoustic but definitely would not try to go neck to neck with Mariah's vocals. Filipinos are the kind of the only ones who try to replicate Mariah's vocals in deep cuts but it's solely for tribute and for funsies and not for commercial release.
I can see Mariah writing for the up-and-coming Liamani to officially pass the baton. Maybe some ballads for Ariana. But I'm not sure if she'll ever be ready to give away bops just yet. I would have loved for Ari or Tori to be given Nothing Is Impossible or Camouflage or Cry. But again, it is Mariah's story. Her voice 100% deserves to tell it. Hopefully soon she can tailor her songs to be more plain language and give others a chance to express her songwriting.

That is why Mariah is saying she doesn't like other artists to cover her songs, because she can't really block them. That's her intention behind it. So she's pre-emptively discouraging other artists, especially from other artists she feels threatened.

The Beautiful Ones (112,567)

Mariah introduced The Beautiful Ones to me. And I agree, hers is better. Could've been a tad bit shorter but Mariah's voice and interpretation during Butterfly is basically unbeatable. Prince might've been insecure.

I think it really comes down to taste. Aside from some of his early work, I've never been a big fan of Prince or his style of singing. I've actually played both versions of "The Beautiful Ones" for people who had never heard either version before, including people who don't even speak the language, and Mariah's version has always been the favorite. She and Sisqo did a great job with it.

Prince (112,566)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
The truth is more nuanced than the common myth that "Prince hated covers". He didn't actually hate people performing his songs; what he disliked was loss of control over his work, especially when it involved: ownership and publishing rights. Record labels profiting without his consent and interpretations he felt were exploitative or low-quality. He was basically just protective, not opposed to covering. He's actually really generous. He wrote so many songs for other artists.

Prince (112,565)
by BFF from United States

Prince recorded multiple studio versions of other artists' songs and included them on albums. All of the following covers he recorded appeared on one of his studio albums (included in parentheses):
Betcha By Golly Wow by The Stylistics (Emancipation) I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt (not written by Raitt but still a cover) (Emancipation) Every Day Is A Winding Road by Sheryl Crow (Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic) A Case of You by Joni Mitchell (One Nite Alone...) Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells (Lotusflow3r)
I think it's totally fine for artists to voice a dislike for other people covering their songs and then turn around and cover other artists' songs.

Mariah is out of the funk (112,550)
by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
| |
|
|
Wow, I just watched some videos on YouTube from the opening show in Las Vegas, and the sparkle in her eyes is back. She moves more like she used to, it looks like she actually wants to be there, and she's having fun. I think she is officially out of her depression, so happy to see.
The show is still 99% lipped, and I am affraid that is just the new standard now. But as Lambs, we know her first shows usually are her worst, she tends to use a few shows to warm up, then she gets better and better every night. But I still don't think we are there that she will try to sing a whole song live, we might never get there again.
But it was so fun to see Mariah happy and cracking jokes again, it has been painful for us all the last couple of years, but as a bipolar myself, I know that you will eventually get out of the funk, you just don't know when or how, each time you get sick feels a bit similar to the last time, but there's always something new, different things you have to go through, the road to recovery is never the same.
My girl is finally on the other side again, Mariah is out of the funk.

Prince (112,552)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Prince covered songs all the time though like Just My Imagination, Superstition, and Come Together, but only live and never on record. He did not like the idea of other people making money off his work, and Mariah probably feels the same way. Live performances seems to be fine but releasing them commercially is not. By that metric, she was not dissing Muni at all.
I also do not think Mariah is complaining. She was even smiling here. She has always shown love to people who sampled her songs. She appreciated Like Mariah by Fifth Harmony, she approved Emotionless by Drake, she even jumped in on the Big Energy Remix and used Bryson Tillers SIO sample for a transition in concerts. She has consistently been supportive of people who sample her music tastefully.
There is nothing inherently wrong with covering songs anyway. Mariah debuted with all originals, but when she was asked to do a cover for MTV Unplugged (just for TV), she then realized she could absolutely elevate a song. And had no problem doing on record: Without You, Open Arms and all that came after.
But before I'll Be There, they originally wanted her to cover Aretha's Natural Woman, but out of respect for Aretha, Mariah went to Carole King and asked to write something new instead, and that is how If It's Over was born. She is at the core, a true songwriter, just like Prince, and really wanted make that a statement. And today I feel she really proved it.

Isn't it ironic that Mariah is not a fan of other artists covering her songs, considering how much of her own catalog is built on sampling, re-recording, and re-imagining other people's work.
Prince genuinely hated people covering his songs, especially when those covers started becoming bigger and better known than the originals. It even got to the point where, at his own concerts, people thought he was the one covering those songs. I can definitely see why that would drive him crazy.
Magically, Mariah's attitude toward other artists covering her songs shifted right around the time Prince, the ultimate diva in himself, brushed off her cover of "The Beautiful Ones". I think her take was phenomenal, and if we're honest, with all due respect to his fans, hers outshines his.
From that moment on, it feels like she picked up a few pages from his diva playbook and, unoriginally, folded them into her own arsenal, even though a part of her work has always incorporated existing.
I adore Mariah, but she really needs to stop with the bs. You can't complain about people covering your songs while you've been doing the same thing for 35 years now, and let's not get into all the sampling.

Prince (112,544)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Remember when he told Mariah, "I like Honey" and she was like, "I get it, don't sing your songs." She didn't take it as an insult; she just kept it respectful. She didn't react immaturely the way Muni did with such a cut-throat skit, which really can't be perceived as anything other than utter disrespect. That's the difference between them. Mariah just gets it. She was only 27/28 then, yet she was already so emotionally mature. Especially compared to Muni at 37. That was full-on mean-girl energy, and completely unnecessary. I don't think I'll see Muni in the same light ever again.

In Your Feelings (112,543)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Either a cold or her meds dried out her voice, which they tend to do. It's funny because Mi, My Love, Nothing Is Impossible, and Here For It All are all in the same exact Db minor key, so it's her comfortable range. But it's only In Your Feelings where the whole song sounds a little funky. The belts in NII are a bit dry too. I've grown to love the power belts in HFIA, though.

In Your Feelings (112,540)

In my opinion "In your feelings" is the only song on the album where Mariah's voice sounds bad. I love her but it sounds like she recorded it while having a cold. It's a shame because it's one of her best recordings. Imagine if MOAlA Mariah sung this song. I wish she had re recorded it when her voice was better. Overall I'm still enjoying HFIA. I would love to hear Bruno cover "In your feelings".

Oh my goodness Bobby A, we're in sync. Blasted Caution for Thanksgiving prep and I love the run from With You, A No No, The Distance, Giving Me Life, One Mo' Gen, 8th Grade, all the way to Stay Long Love You. I genuinely didn't realize how much I love this album. This was her response after the NYE disaster so it's no wonder this record really slaps. She really went in.

Today I have placed Caution on the same level as TEOM. It is just a feel good party record that you can play over and over again. I hope MC is rushed to record MC17 because she produces a party record when she is focused and pressured to put her music out there.

Muni Long what? (112,530)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Mariah was pissed because they kept showing her reaction shots in horrendous lighting. And you know Mariah doesn't play about her lighting. That was the first thing she brought up in her speech.
Mariah doesn't like when people do her songs. (I mean she was made to sing "Hero" with horrible singers in singing contests.) "Not really" is pretty fair. But she obviously appreciates tributes because she knows the person she handpicked will be good. Muni Long didn't need to take that to heart. She's now gaslighting everyone and saying she meant no disrespect. I find her even more annoying and stupid.

Muni Long what? (112,525)
by BFF from United States
| |
|
|
The thing is, Mariah wasn't rude to Muni Long and didn't say anything negative about her. That shot of her at the awards show during the tribute was taken out of context and was soon after her mother and sister passed away. Mariah was clearly out of sorts, was trying to put on her best game face, and had no idea what she looked like on camera. She even thanked both Muni Long and Tori Kelly during her acceptance speech.
Mariah saying she doesn't like people covering her songs after the fact is not a diss. It doesn't necessarily mean she thinks Muni Long did a bad job. Maybe she doesn't like people covering her songs because it puts her on the spot to "say something nice" regardless of the quality of the cover?
Muni Long knew exactly what she was doing and got the reaction/outcome she wanted. Too bad that she's so insecure that she cannot have the focus be on her talent alone.

I'm dead, it sounds like The Mad Hatter's laugh. It is a little creepy now fully hearing it a capella. Before I heard the actual recorded version of HFIA, I thought Mariah was just ad libbing "someone said that's tough" and giving a shout out to Rocky in the stripped version she posted on Instagram. I was honestly kind of shocked that lyric was included in the actual song.

Someone isolated just the background vocals, and once again you can hear how good Mariah is at building those crazy, beautifully detailed layers you barely notice in the full mix. But that weird sound in there? It adds nothing. It totally sounds like a glitch. Whatever it was supposed to be, it makes no sense. It actually reminds me of that glitch on one of the Memoirs tracks.

Muni Long what? (112,511)
by Lambi from USA

|

I checked, they're still following each other, but I agree it's a really tasteless skit. She comes off like that kid in high school who tried doing stand-up but clearly didn't have the talent for it. Most of the comment section is dragging her, and you know that the market is always right. The skit is simply poorly done, with barely any real comedic elements to make it clear it's supposed to be satire.
She probably asked for Mariah's approval, but she still kind of did her dirty, because what the hell was that overweight Mariah double? MC will not like that. I get that Muni is trying to make light of the situation, but the skit just ended up being annoying.
At the very least, do a good job being funny, like this girl did.

This is just so unnecessary and sad that it's taken the direction it did. It's the epitome of what misunderstanding is. I knew that Mariah's responses to the questions about Muni Long's cover, taken out of context, would sound ambiguous or controversial. I remember reading that interview and realizing how "foggy" Mariah must have been during that time, basically for the greater part of 2025. Then the media totally manipulating the fact that she turned her head during Muni's performance to their benefit to generate content. Also, it's sad that Muni Long would fall for the bait. Just unnecessary negativity.

My Love (AI) (112,501)
by Dave from USA
| |
|
|
I have never cared for AI. It is scary how accurate some of this technology can be, especially with music. Listening to some MC performances, My Love popped in to the algorithm. I nearly fell out of my damn chair. I thought she rerecorded it or remixed the HFIA verson and was so damn excited thinking that her voice had returned. It sounded amazing and my full excitement for why I fell in love with her returned. Then, I realized, finally looking at the screen, that it was an AI version set to her Butterfly vocal era.
I must say that I felt horrible after for enjoying the version afterwards as I feel AI takes so much from all artists and their uniqueness and talent, but for one moment, I was transported back in time. For that, I will say it was worth the momentary indulgence.

Some say that's tough (112,479)
by Lambi from USA

Someone said "oooh", I think Bobby A is correct, sounded like Daniel Moore was giving her props for writing such a great lyric.
Also, "Someone said that's tough" is probably inspired by Rocky. Gen Z boys always comment "dats tuff" when something goes hard on social media and I agree. "And thank the Lord I lived to see the physical embodiment of love" is pretty "tuff".
The next line, "But when you leave, you take away a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me" is also pretty dang tuff and profound. I understand it even more now because her book discussed how Mariah's body really went through the ringer while being pregnant with the twins. Poisonous edema, gestational diabetes and she gained a hundred pounds. She quite literally couldn't have loved harder physically. It's pure labor of love.
I think Mara was correct about the song's first stanzas being about Dem Kids leaving to be with Nick for the weekend or something. That would be pretty heavy for MC, considering that they're truly the only ones who's shown her unconditional love, it's deep. Letting go ain't easy.

Lambi was trying to figure it out too on October 1st . I think HFIA was recorded in multiple parts over 3 years and that part was the best take. So, MC decided to include Daniel's hot mic part.

I wanted to share some good news with my little MCA family, it's also the reason I've been MIA mostly the past few months. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, a little baby girl. You best believe she will be introduced to Mariah really early on so we will have a baby lamb joining the lambily soon. Who knows down the line Eric may have a new member join this board haha. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Promise I won't be influenced by Nick Cannon's baby names.

I won't allow it (112,474)

"He can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others." I lied, I didn't think it was possible but I did somehow find another reason to dislike him even more. He's literally so ghetto.
He got to level up with Mariah and experience the grandiosity of life but he basically chose to go back to the projects and do hoot rat shit. Could've been jets on holidays and chefs with hollandaise but Nick will forever love his Chick-fil-A.
All of his baby mamas have the same mold too. Instagram addicted models that are attention starved. I truly do not understand why they would even entertain the idea of pro-creating with someone who treats relationships this way or why they'd want to be part of his rotation. The dynamic is impossible to justify. The money can't make up for it, and in the end, it's really the kids who will inevitably have to suffer the consequences.

I can't believe at one point I wanted Mariah to get back with Nick so that her family could be whole again. She probably made the best decision leaving him. I wouldn't be surprised if they drifted apart because Nick was jealous of Mariah's fame, since he has such a big ego and of course some cheating on the side. He seems to be a very controlling person with this "harem" mentality. Because one of his baby mamas - (mom of Legendary Love) called Bre is on this reality show called Selling Sunset and she seems completely brainwashed to believe the relationship arrangement they are in is a healthy one - basically he can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others. Brainwashed is probably not the correct word because of course a lot of these women are with him due to his money and connections. Bre said she doesn't get child support because apparently after a certain number of babies you don't have to pay, but even if that's true his connections are valuable to her as she sells (or pretends to sell) luxury real estate in LA and the connections help. Anyways Nick is vile and I'm glad he's gone, just sad that for him E=MC2 didn't get a fair shot at a big success.

Monroe was a gorgeous choice. I was iffy with Morrocan because that's like naming your kid "German" or "Ethiopian" and no one does that, also neither Mariah nor Nick is Moroccan. I get he proposed in the Moroccan room so it holds some meaning, they also liked it because it rhymes with "Rakim" but I would've just chosen Rakim. Rak N Roe would've still worked. Moroccan eventually just became Rocky though, so it's not that bad.

Naming a boy Legendary Love is diabolical. But instead of blaming Nick, I blame the baby mamas who let him choose those hideous names.

I literally can't. Imagine making a child say, "Hi. I'm Beautiful/Powerful/Legendary" as an introduction. "You're what? Oh that's your name?" Why did they not think these through? Was he saying affirmations in the mirror every day so something called him to name them adjectives? Was he just so deep in his divinity study that he felt "Rise Messiah" was appropriate?
I know some celebrities tend to have "the chosen" syndrome, thinking they're truly the chosen ones so they name their kids "Saint" and "Kulture" but Nick Cannon took it to another level I never thought possible. Because what do you mean, "Powerful Queen"? How do you actually expect anyone to ever take them seriously?

Those are names only a narcissist could come up with. Sadly, the kids are the ones who'll have to deal with the consequences. Imagine introducing yourself: "Hi, my name is Legendary Love, my sister's name is Powerful Queen, and, just in case you're religious, my anointed little brother is named Rise Messiah." Lord, have mercy. I can understand these women having children with Nick for the financial security he provides, but letting him saddle their kids with such ridiculous names? That's the part I'll never understand.
Before his selfish attempt at creating his own "tribe", I used to defend Nick whenever people criticized or blamed him for anything. But at this point, and given his behavior, I really don't like him anymore. It's obvious he views his kids as extensions of himself, which is another classic trait of a narcissist.

You guys, I just saw ET covering Monroe's clarification about having only one full sibling, and they listed all the other kids' names:
• Golden • Powerful Queen • Rise Messiah • Onyx Ice Cole • Zion Mixolydian • Zillion Heir • Beautiful Zeppelin • Legendary Love • Zen • Halo
At first I genuinely thought it was satire. LMAO. But no, those are really their names. I already felt bad for the kids, and now I feel even worse. What in the world?
Mariah saying "corny like fritos" was absolutely accurate. I don't think I can dislike Nick Cannon more. My goodness, those poor children.

"I won't entertain all your narcissistic ways." My bet is Nick because he openly acknowledged he was clinically diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. He stated on his podcast that he identifies with most of the "markers" for the disorder, such as a sense of self-importance and a belief that his words are significant, and I fully agree.
He does this thing where he virtue signals his way to make a point, ultimately wanting to be correct and appear to be good. But it's all a facade. An example would be when he said that the concept of monogamy (one person for the rest of your life) is rooted in ownership, a "Euro-centric" concept, that was to classify property. And that "I don't have ownership over any of the mothers, we create families, we created a beautiful entity."
He managed to make, "I actually just want to stay as a teenager and be a whore and be irresponsible" sound like it's a good thing. Not caring how these kids will not have a fully present father. He's totally deluded by his unfinished "PhD" in the course of divinity (a made up degree). A complete narcissist indeed. I'm genuinely so glad Mariah got away from that weirdo and is very much thriving. The pendulum also seems to be swinging back now that the twins are finally waking up to their father's bs.

RCA might've punched the air in 2005 when they realized how much they fumbled the bag. Mariah outshined, out-prettied, out-sang everyone else in the game and definitively outdid herself.

Not really. Mariah has been far more relevant than Justin ever since the success of TEOM. If Mariah had approached RCA anytime after 2005, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have had any objections.

Monroe's post (112,423)

Oh she just reposts random sayings. Sounds pretty irrelevant from Roeroe, I find it to just be virtue signaling, like she just wants everyone to know that she's a "girl's girl", which she is definitively not when she's sharing a man with 4 other women. I'm literally so fascinated at how Nick Cannon's baby mamas think and how they all willingly signed up into his mess. They really don't respect themselves.

She posted a story, a repost saying something like, "Don't ask me if I like my mother or brother, ask me if I like my sister."
