Andrew (110,082) by Dove from United States Yeah, he left an impression on me. Sometimes his opinions would piss me off but they weren't entirely wrong. I felt personally victimized when he said anything negative about MC. Lol. He's a talented and entertaining writer. I hope he's good. (Saturday 26 July 2025; 03:29) this is a reply to message 110,080

Andrew (110,080) by Edward from USA I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but based on my personal interactions with Andrew, I honestly think he's a good guy. Like anyone else, he was probably just going through something at the time. He's left the board a few times before, but I get the feeling this time it might be for good. With that being said, I don't think Eric would stop him from coming back, as long as he sticks to the rules. (Saturday 26 July 2025; 02:47)

Jimmy Kimmel (110,078) by Dove from United States Oh yeah. I was wondering what happened to Andrew Gold. (Saturday 26 July 2025; 02:14) this is a reply to message 110,074

Jimmy Kimmel (110,074) by Edward from USA Bobby A, that was a different person from the UK. It's been nearly two years since Andy last posted here. I think he was dealing with some personal stuff. I hope he's ok wherever he is. (Saturday 26 July 2025; 01:13)

I wonder what Mariah Carey smells like (110,067) by Dove from United States Does anyone know? Several people have said she smells really good. I really like the vibe she's bringing to the interviews I've watched today. It's like the open, happy Mariah is back. It endears me to "Ginger" a bit more. (Friday 25 July 2025; 21:30)

Mariah keeps it nice, neat, "sugar sweet" on new single (110,053) by Dove from United States It's not my favorite song by her but I don't hate it either. It's on par with Espresso, which was the song of the summer last year. I added it to my summer playlist. I mean it sounds like today's music. I liked GTFO better, though. Her voice sounded really frail and thin on some parts. Which I guess is what happens with age. I just wonder what the song would have sounded like if she still had the buttery soft texture she had in the 90's. The two other singers I don't know but they sounded really good. It sounded like 90's R&B. Like Aaliyah/Brandy/Monica/SWV vibes. If Sabrina Carpenter sang this I think it would be a hit. Not because she's a great singer but just because she's what's in right now. Which honestly, I don't even think is merited. If she wasn't young and pretty I don't think anyone would be interested. Opening for Taylor Swift during the Eras tour really helped her out too. I'm not trying to bash Sabrina because she's a girl with a dream, just like everyone else, and she will get her 15 minutes, but she doesn't have the "it" factor. I don't see longevity with her. She comes off very "pick me" and that can only be cute for so long. I see a Paula Abdul-like trajectory, which is not terrible. If I were to put my money on someone (of the newcomers) it would be Tate McRae. She has the "it" factor that Britney Spears had. Sabrina is like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson trying to be sexy. They have to try. Britney and Tate McRae just are. Anyway, I don't know how I got off on this weird tangent. I wanted to give my 2 cents on the new single but I don't have any more thoughts on it right now. I hope it does well. (Friday 25 July 2025; 16:22)

Mariah pairs leopard print slipdress with throwback hair (110,050) by Dove from United States She seemed more laid back and "present" last night on Jimmy Kimmel. I don't know that host, but she seemed starstruck, and honestly I can't blame her. I would have been too. Mariah didn't seem bothered by the comments about her breasts so I won't be bothered either. It's not like Britney Spears at 17 being asked about her breasts. Not the best thing to bring up in an interview but Mariah is a grown up and they're hard not to notice. (Honestly, it's the first thing I noticed.) Sidenote: it reminded me of the Mexican music icon Juan Gabriel. Interviewers would ask him about his sexuality and he would respond, "Lo que se ve no se pregunta". (What is seen does not need to be asked.) Anyway, I think Mariah looked really pretty. Her face looked really pretty and her body was on point. Her tan was on point. Her hair looked nice. The dress is not my favorite but I don't hate it either. Since it's more naked at the top I liked that it was longer. I love that silhouette on her. I don't love the animal print but that's just me. Apparently that's the trend again. (The Pamela Anderson/Fran Drescher in The Nanny vibes.) My niece is starting high school this year so I took her to get her hair cut and eyebrows threaded. I've been going to this eyebrow threader for over ten years and she's very good and I trust her. I waited in the waiting area and let my niece go back there by herself. I was so surprised when she came back out with super thin (Christina Aguilera in the Dirrty video) eyebrows. I told her the whole reason I took her there was so that she wouldn't over-pluck them like I did when I was her age. I told her if she keeps plucking them that thin, over time they won't grow back the same. She said, "Yours did." (But they didn't. I had to get the soft tap powder brows to fill in the sparse spots.) Anyway, she didn't care what I had to say and told me, "I think I can maintain the thin-brow life." So yeah. The early 90's slightly porno look is making a comeback. I think we all want MC to go back to the girl-next-door we initially fell in love with. But she's been Ginger for a long time now. Mary Ann is gone. (Friday 25 July 2025; 15:50)

Sugar Sweet (110,018) by Dove from United States That AI song I Don't Know Her is so funny. Thank you for telling me about it. (Friday 25 July 2025; 03:04) this is a reply to message 110,013

Sugar Sweet (110,013) by Giovanni from USA I also saw that recently and agree with you Edward. I didn't like it at all. It's a thumbs down for me if that was the song but it's AI. There's also a song from AI that's called "I don't know her" and it's hilarious. AI nailed Mariah's whistles in the song. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 20:41)

I just love finding new places to wear diamonds (109,999) by Dove from United States I love watching old movies too. It's the closest thing to a time machine. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 14:37) this is a reply to message 109,994

I just love finding new places to wear diamonds (109,994) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also had to think about Marilyn Monroe. We all know she's such a big MM fan so diamonds are a must for the album. I love the movie so much by the way. Hollywood classics in general. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:37)

I just love finding new places to wear diamonds (109,989) by Dove from United States About the diamonds, I would add even more. Maybe a diamond headband. "I always say a kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara lasts forever." - Lorelei Lee (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:04)

Speaking about covers (109,986) by Dove from United States I love this question. Sometimes I wish I was good at AI so I could remake these in Mariah's voice. 01.) Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney 02.) Good Vibrations - Beach Boys (with the original instrumentation) 03.) Feeling Good - Nina Simone 04.) Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac 05.) The Chain - Fleetwood Mac 06.) We are the Champions - Queen 07.) My Tears Ricochet - Taylor Swift I know most of these were already hits but they were hits for a reason. A good song is a good song. (I'm sorry I couldn't stick to five.) (Thursday 24 July 2025; 10:51) this is a reply to message 109,972

Speaking about covers (109,972) by Haiji from United States What would your top 5 songs, you think MC would sound great covering? My picks: 1. Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You 2. Out On A Limb - Tina Marie 3. Donny Hathaway - A Song For You 4. Sade - No Ordinary Love 5. Michael Jackson - Human Nature (imagine the vocal stacking) (Thursday 24 July 2025; 02:39)

Obsessed with physical image (109,982) by Dove from United States I think most women are obsessed with our physical image and not aging. Whether we admit it or not. There's a lot of pressure on us to always be beautiful and fit. If it's hard for me, I can't imagine what it must feel like for an aging celebrity. If you look at her social media platforms she's wearing age appropriate clothes. For interviews she does the diva gowns but I feel like that's for the "character". I don't have a problem with her wearing sexy outfits for photo shoots or videos. She looks good in them but even if she didn't - it's her own creative expression. She's an artist. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 06:55)

More thoughts about the album covers (109,981) by Dove from United States Mimi L, I was thinking about your comments about the covers (mostly because you're the one who had the most thoughts about them). It's funny to me how your opinions are so opposite to mine. (Not saying my opinions are right or better, just interesting how people can view things so differently.) I actually really like the black leather looking outfit because it looks good on her and sorta looks like a superhero costume. I like all the diamonds because it makes me think, "She earned those diamonds." Celebrities are American royalty and not everyone can pull off wearing a huge diamond necklace. It suits who she is. Also, most people borrow jewelry for photo shoots but she actually owns those. I get what you're saying about the power stance (and I somewhat agree now after reading your comments), but she's already done that pose on a few album covers. The easy breezy one is different than all of her other album covers. The one with the all black background looks blurry and that's why I don't like that one. My problem with the power stance picture is that her face doesn't look like her face to me. But otherwise I wouldn't mind that being the album cover. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 06:45)

I feel bad (109,958) by Dove from United States I feel bad for that robot comment I made. I just meant it doesn't even look like her. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 18:53)

Album cover (109,956) by Dove from United States I just got an email to preorder the new album and there's an alternate cover. I don't like it. She looks like a robot and her face looks weird. I like the original one much better. I would just pan it out a bit so that the top of her head and her waist showed. But her face looks more relaxed and pretty in the original. It looks easy breezy. Sorry to be negative. Also, I'll probably buy the mp3 on Amazon but wait a year until I buy the physical CD because by then it'll probably have the max amount of tracks included. Unless Amazon still does AutoRip, then I'll just do that. I know they're available on Spotify but I like having them in my digital library in case they ever get removed. (Like the movie Glitter did. I should have bought a digital copy when it was available. ) (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 18:17)

Live and Let Die (109,948) by Dove from United States I love that song. I was hoping it would be that one or My Love. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 09:51) this is a reply to message 109,943

Live and Let Die (109,943) by Pedro from Brazil Apparently, the cover Mariah will do of Paul McCartney’s song is "Live and Let Die". In several cities, ads featuring parts of song lyrics or the names of the tracks are being displayed. (Wednesday 23 July 2025; 01:48)

Physical copy or... (109,914) by Dove from United States I don't think so. I also buy physical copies of my favorite albums. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:59) this is a reply to message 109,912

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 / Paul McCartney cover (109,911) by Dove from United States I love Paul McCartney. I wonder what song it will be. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:29) this is a reply to message 109,902

Here For It All / Paul McCartney cover (109,902) by BFF from United States Looks like she might be covering a song by Wings, Paul and Linda McCartney's band in the 70s? Can you imagine Mariah singing "Live and Let Die"? (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 02:58)

Cover art (109,910) by Dove from United States The only thing I don't love is that the top of her head is cut off. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 11:26)

Type: Dangerous (109,880) by Dove from United States I love hearing Mariah in the radio. A lot of songs actually do sound better on the radio for some reason. (Monday 21 July 2025; 17:12) this is a reply to message 109,877

Type: Dangerous (109,877) by MusicfanJ from Germany Today on "my" station they were playing "Without you". It still amazes me, when I hear the first few seconds of the piano and then the magic happens. The radio-man said an absolute classic and wonderful version by Mariah. So true. (Monday 21 July 2025; 16:56)

Mariah Carey announces new album "Here For It All" (109,879) by Dove from United States I like the cover art because she looks genuinely happy. I know it's posed, but it doesn't look posed. My favorite style of pictures are the ones that look candid. I love the title because I'm also here for it all. For me, that means I'm here for the whole spectrum of emotions we experience as humans. I hope the album has at least a few songs that make me feel something. I'm reminded of a quote I heard in the documentary Long Promised Road (about Brian Wilson). It's a famous guy (I can't remember his name) describing Brian's music. He said something along the lines of, "The beauty of it carries with a sense of joyfulness even in the pain of living." That's exactly the way I feel about Mariah Carey's music. You guys I'm so excited and here for it. (Monday 21 July 2025; 17:10)

Type: Dangerous (109,868) by Dove from United States I just heard Type: Dangerous on the radio. (Monday 21 July 2025; 06:32)

Pop legend teases new song in sparkling low-cut pink dress (109,843) by Dove from United States I really am psychic. I love the snippet, the dress, and Mariah looks beautiful. I'm so excited. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 07:00)

I wish (109,809) by Dove from United States I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish that I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles and we'd all eat and be happy. (Friday 18 July 2025; 16:47)

For the record (109,805) by Dove from United States I enjoy reading everyone's posts. (Friday 18 July 2025; 06:09)

Christmas in July (109,802) by Dove from United States The MC Fortnight [sic] skins news got me thinking about the Christmas ornaments Mariah sold on HSN when she was pregnant. They were only $50 and you got 24 in a sturdy box. I looked up the segments on YouTube and I love Mariah when she was on HSN. She was so funny. That's the classic Mariah I feel like I know. I love that she was super pregnant but was still out there living her best life like it's golden. I don't think she's as vain as people think. Otherwise she wouldn't have appeared on television super swollen and pregnant. Last year I saw Martha Stewart and Snoop Dog Elf on the Shelf dolls at Walmart. The whole time I was thinking Mariah should make one too. But please for the love of God make her face pretty. A lot of the merch doesn't even look like her. The inflatable last year was cross-eyed. (Friday 18 July 2025; 02:50)

Type: Dangerous (109,784) by Dove from United States I like Type Dangerous (The Remix of the Gods) because it felt nostalgic to listen to those voices again. I don't listen to a lot of rap music, but I remember in high school my cousin and best friend did. So I recognize those voices. I wish they would have included her second verse, though. It's a remix, who cares if it's a little long? (Thursday 17 July 2025; 11:22)
