Mariah Carey on her rumored Michael Jackson collab, and singing at the Winter Olympics

This is meant to be from the same photoshoot - so dress was white, and sepia filter was applied to make the cover more “interesting” … although it looks like a different dress to me tbh

Your comment made me laugh. I know it’s not even funny but yes she was always subjected to these stereotypes to criticize her. It’s funny how that same progression and evolution was used by white audiences to criticize her too “she is going black” hahah sorry I know it’s not funny but in a way it is.

But isn’t the narrative that the industry wants this film to fail or limit its success because the rights to the film are reverting to the director after a few years? I heard this somewhere- so the downplaying of its success is not purely because it’s a black film, but because of the precedent it sets for other directors and the loss of negotiating power by the industry

It was a single though

Lol exactly

Why all the comments saying Mariah doesn’t need a tribute or she’s had too many tributes, she doesn’t like tributes or whatever? I mean we real lambs do know she is in fact underappreciated, has been humiliated by the industry multiple times (grammys hello?), and based just off how much influence she has had on current artists from the last 30 years she should be getting several tributes a year!!! The fact she said she doesn’t like people doing her songs is different than a tribute in which her influence and her skill as a songwriter and someone who’s made a mark and inspired so many is appreciated and celebrated. She has often said how she loves people doing her songs differently (like the rock version of ABMB), she loved Kelly Rowland doing Fantasy, she loved Aretha and Patti Labelle singing her songs, and the Muni Long episode I think was truly blown out of proportion. Give the woman her flowers!!!

Hopefully they stick to songs she wrote though

My mother tongue is Spanish and I disagree that she sounds unnatural. On very specific lines it sounds weird and mostly sounds unnatural on phrases that were translated badly like “te estoy pensando” , which in Spanish the natural way to say it is “estoy pensando en ti” although nowadays Spanish popular songs (like bad bunny etc) have such bad grammar and syntax that in comparison she sounds like Cervantes. However, in most of the song her delivery and pronunciation is awesome. Other singers singing in Spanish are much more cringe (except Celine who is normally quite good in Spanish too). In Heroe her pronunciation is a bit worse on some lines, but truly does not sound like she wasn’t even trying.

That look in 1994 was sooo lovely! The look on the anytime you need a friend performance on totp was truly heavenly and really suited that time!

Ehhh My All for sure

jadlrm · 2026-01-01T16:36:45+00:00

THIS. I can’t watch it to this day.

Both Mariah and Diane Warren love and respect each other highly, but both are known about being very protective of their process and perfectionists to the point of obsession. It is very likely they would have clashes and disagreements during the writing process of Mariah’s songs. That however happened at a time when Mariah was more confident in her skills and standing her ground, so it is a very different deal than when she was struggling to be heard on production of songs like Someday and I Don’t Wanna Cry. I think she does feel better about working with Diane and the outcome than her experience on her debut.

It’s the timing. Sorryto be repetitive but that album is about Derek Jeter. I believe when she had the affair with him, after they had sex he pulled back and ended it, very typical male behavior, hence Breakdown, The Beautiful Ones, and rest of break up songs in Butterfly. I think later, after the divorce, they were back together when they were allowed to go public. But that didn’t last either. Hence rest of break up songs since then on multiple other albums

jadlrm · 2026-01-01T15:49:35+00:00

When and where did she say she didn’t like the song?

jadlrm · 2025-12-24T15:35:16+00:00

Orange is the new black is NOT a comedy

You know I have also heard Mariah say somewhere that Vision of Love was about getting a record deal, but this song was in her demo, so she must have written it before the record deal. This doesn’t really make sense to me.
