I love all of these filmmakers who grew up with Mariah now giving her flowers!

She looks fantastic. Drop a single girl 😉 For real, she has been dropping singleworthy pics on her Instagram. Give us that ear candy.

This is me guessing but I think her being the true Aries is afraid of marriage again and he proposed and she was like uhm meh and that was why they allegedly broke up for a month or so and she finally agreed .
We Aries are finicky and paranoid!

This is why I low-key resent "AIWFCIY." I feel like she spends all year prepping for the Xmas season and then does nothing the rest of the year.
Understandably, get your coins mama! But as someone who can't stand Xmas in general, I'm highly unentertained.

I don't think it was mentioned here, but she did a Twitter Spaces with fans on 3/27 and briefly mentioned stuff was coming soon. I believe she said something about having to sign some things therefore she couldn't talk about it.
I do feel like something is coming sooner than later. She just vacationed and the body and face are snatched.

I'm the most glass half full person you'll ever meet, but I honestly don't think anything new is coming anytime soon. She has been talking about multiple projects since late 2020. We're halfway through 2023 and we ain't seen jack shit besides a couple individual songs like "Somewhat Loved" (which was from 2012) and "Fall In Love At Christmas," hence my skepticism. She's basically present only during the holiday season and that's been going on for years now. She has teased The Butterfly Lounge (ie a video documentation of her writing and recording process), re-recorded songs for the adaptation of her memoirs, re-works of other artists' songs, her version of Someone's Ugly Daughter that she finally found, an album fans have been asking for for years -which we've deduced it's either a gospel or a jazz LP or even a collaborations album (she shouted out Maxwell on a Twitter Spaces, said she wanted him to send her his vocals)- plus last year on her anniversary she said, again talking to lambs on a Twitter Spaces, that she intends to put out a *regular* album first before the other niche project(s). That's ALL while, to quote her, she's been "in the most creative space of her life" "not unlike the times she was creating Butterfly and TEOM" and with her voice being in the most rested, reinvigorated shape it has been in more than a decade (but that's an entirely different discussion). FFW to now and nothing has materialized besides her activity during the Christmas season. Forgive this long tangent, but... 😔

FFW to now and nothing has materialized besides her activity during the Christmas season. Forgive this long tangent, but... 😔 All of this. It should also be mentioned that while it’s not been to this degree, this sort of thing has been the case ever since she left Sony. Tommy had his problems, but it’s just a fact that he kept Mariah disciplined with her music/work. Nearly every album on IDJ was pushed back due to Mariah not finishing them on time, and it’s been even worse since leaving IDJ and having whatever loose (non-existent?) music deal she has now. Even in the 2000s we had various projects fall by the wayside (an Olympics theme, the Merry Christmas musical, Angels Advocate, and so on). It’s also normal for artists to release fewer albums as they get older, so there’s that (Madonna, Janet, etc haven’t released much new music either).

Does Kelly’s song me sample art of letting go? They sound very similar.

Loved the "TMB" write up in that #1s column. I think the author has ranked some of Mariah's hits too low (like "TMB" and "My All") but he clearly respects Mariah's artistry and impact. I especially loved the part where he mentioned Mariah surfed the zeitgeist better than anyone. That's why I think she can still release a contemporary album without sounding out of place.
She's been liking her E=MC2 bops lately, which I love. I know she was criticized around that time for not recording more material like her early '90s work- especially when people compared her to Leona- but as that article suggested, her instincts were dead-on.

I can see her releasing something probably closer to fall to lead into the holiday season. I mean there isn’t any money really in releasing new music as a bulk of her revenue now comes from her back catalog. I would like to see her pull a Rihanna and maybe feature on some hot tracks at least if she isn’t going to release new music. Maybe another IKWYW moment. I’d love for her to work with SZA.

Here's something I thought about today; how often Mariah has competed on the charts with the women she directly influenced. The longevity and relevance this shows:
1996 - "One Sweet Day" is #1 while Mary J Blige is #2; Mary J has said Mariah's music helped her 1998 - "My All" is top 5 while Brandy is #1; Brandy sang Mariah in auditions 1999 - "Heartbreaker" is #1 while Christina Aguilera is top 10; Mariah heavily influenced Aguilera 2000 - "TGIFY" is #1 while Christina Aguilera is top 3 and Blaque, whom Mariah wrote for, is top 10 2001 - "Loverboy" was #2 behind Destiny's Child, whose members Beyonce and Kelly praised Mariah as an influence 2005 - "We Belong Together" was #1 ahead of Rihanna, who sang "Hero" in an audition for her record deal 2005 - "WBT" is #1 and "Shake It Off" is #2 while Kelly Clarkson is top 10; Clarkson lists Mariah as a major influence 2006 - "Don't Forget About Us" was #1 while Pussycat Dolls, members of whom listed Mariah as an influence, were top 10 2008 - "Touch My Body" dislodged Leona Lewis from #1, and she had sung Mariah songs during her X-Factor run 2009 - "Obsessed" top 10 alongside Rihanna and Fergie/Black Eyed Peas 2019 - "AIWFCIY" is top 3 with Ariana Grande, whom cites Mariah as a major influence

That is the real Andrew Tate. Def not something I had on my 2023 bingo card. He's not wrong in any way, but we absolutely disavow that tweet.

Mariah giving love to the gem that is "Never Forget You"
I wish she and Babyface had done at least 1 more song together in the 1990s.
Also LMAO at this tweet:
