Is it fair to say she's aged "incredibly well" when it's heavily assisted by artificial means?

Kelly definitely gave her a proper tribute and did her thing. One of my favorite tributes to Mariah.

I agree that CAUTION IS "fresher" and "current" but Here4TitsAll is a no-skip album for me. It's definitely not as musically monolithic but that's understandable considering how she described preparing to produce it.

Wasn't the point but go awf, I guess?

Watching her WWHL on YouTube just now and she seems so comfortable, natural, open, charming, and in her element. Whatever is going on is really helping her open up. And she is really serving in that curlyriah moment. She looks so good!

I legit thought the thumbnail said Budgetriah.

She was definitely nervous but not as nervous as when she did VoL on Kimmel so many years back. She sounds good, healthy, and Anderson was so visibly supportive. Her tone was so warm and relaxed. I'm definitely guilty of being curious about what she'd sound singing these songs in her youth but this example is just so over the top and musically cacophonous. I can't take it seriously. Even with Mariah at her most vocally extra, there was a craft that this recreation doesn't respect. It's so tricked out with key changes, layers, and unharmonious overlapping tracks that it sucks the life out of it. Current Mariah may not be her 90's self but she's still distillation of the pure emotional and musical sentiment that only original Mariah could capture. A bunch of interviews with her just blasted my YouTube feed today. It's nice to see her happy on Fallon, laughing with Keke, and chilling with JHud.

First Listen Instant faves: Into Your Feelings Confetti & Champaign I Won't Allow It Jesus I Do Here For It All Whenever I read that TD and SS are the most 'radio friendly', I can't help but think they have no imagination. IWAI and CAC ARE RIGHT THERE. The production is great. Some songs you really have to love that style of music to appreciate it in terms of her own catalog style (Play This Song, My Love) since those feel very straightforward recreations without any Mariah-styled reworkings. Vocal production is surprisingly unfiltered compared, and not even compared to 'just recently.' I don't have my headphones right now but it seems she's really minimized and maybe eliminated most of the multi-track, heavily comped lead vocals that dominated a lot of songs in MOAIA (H.A.T.E.U.) or MIAM (Heavenly). And given that context, you have to appreciate her wholly embracing unvarnished, current-range vocals album-wide (which a lot of fans say they want (but do they?!?!). And though I'm agnostic (but raised baptist) Mariah's style of gospel ALWAYS gets me feeling spiritual. Cheers cheers cheers CHEERS.

I really loved that SZA interview. She was fanning out but incredibly respectful. She wasn't so awestruck that she couldn't ask questions either. Mariah would cut her off and SZA would just organically jump back into to finish her thought and you truly felt they were friends. The praise felt incredibly genuine and you could tell Mariah was soaking it in and grateful for those moments. Plus, SZA actually asked something I wish more people would've asked her even though the answer was disappointing. "Your runs are as memorable as though they were made of words" is incredibly accurate. And her asking her to elaborate on her process creating them because they're obviously a separate entity from the core melody was perfect. Only problem is Mariah intuits these musical choices so there's no further elaboration other than what we already know: she's musically gifted and just a genius. I don't get the criticisms about her demeanor here either. She was just as receptive and vocal as she was in the Genius interview. It was refreshing to see her relaxed and enjoying the moment. I used to hate on her pre-EoM because I had such warped expectations that she had no obligation to fulfill. And watching her release new material despite the criticisms, and convince myself to be disappointed with a performance, only to rewatch it in retrospect and realize I enjoyed it and acted hyperbolically. I'm gonna enjoy what I can while she still wants to make music and appreciate that she's made music no one, not even herself, can ever sing live again. And that's okay. No one will live forever. So when her music is looked upon again be the future, it's a rememberance of the crazy vocal **** she could do, that no one else could. The harmonies, the melodies; her craft will be representative of the 100% of everything physically, emotionally, and spiritually she could give and not just what she could do 'safely'. Leontyne Price said "Sing on your interest, not your captial." But I think Mariah sees it as "Doing the best with what I got [because what I got won't be here forever]."

No "Oh yeah yeah yeah hee" notification? She has such a good variety of potential alerts. I wonder if they include: "Ring the alarm and I'm throwing dildos" "You don't even need a plate, just your face. HAH" "I feel like the world's been infected" This would be a good time to release "suck u **** u"

"Clandice Owens, Charlie Cuck" I'm DEAD. lol ----- That said, I was disappointed the first time I heard about this and deleted her songs from my libraries then. I had a slight hope she'd inform herself since then considering her proximity to LGBTQ culture. But it's clear she insulates herself from those queer experiences and has no one in her inner circle who's willing to challenge her views. It's disappointing but not a loss. Support deserving artists and give them a platform.

Really much better material than how they performed on the show. But even still, I hope they leaned to at least perform live instead of taking the pretentious too-good-to-move route.

Not bad at all considering they kept failing to find their footing in the show

The brainrot is real with these barcode conspiracysts. Such a puerile and unapologetic level of unthought demonstrated here in this thread reeks of smooth-brained malnourished fuckery. Stream Sugar Sweet today for some mothering and mentally maturing mammary milk.

I wonder how many takes they did of that. Either not enough or too many cuz Mariah looked DONE by the end of it. :D

I kept randomly bumping into a guy that looked almost identical to that guy yesterday. Had that been me, he wouldn't even need to bring a plate, just his face, ha! I mean, neither of us have cakes, anyway.

I'm surprised by the lack of bitty exposure but it's very unexpected and very cute. Here. For. tIt.

Sugartit Sweet is such a warm, juicy, gushy, frothy, brûlée bop.

This def is The Raretitties true alt album cover. Here For Tit All. Type: Double D-angerous.

With the wait the song started, I thought she was about to hit us with remix after hot remixes back to back with this song. Lord knows she should do it and she'd be rewarded for it.

What's the point of a clone if you don't get the supposed benefits of "not aging" like she alleges? Doesn't that include regained mobility? Such brainrot.

Yeah, this is a very Barbara-centric sound. Very much similar soundscape to the Celine collab she did. Happy for them.

Co. Sign.

There were some live sections. Her tone sounded good on the start of it's like that. Her body language was much more open, she was enjoying herself, she was smiling, interacted with the audience. I swear, some of y'all claim to want her to do 'just a little bit more' but then lambaste her when she does. She's looking happy, having fun on stage, singing more live, and so what, she's looking a little apprehensive about making big movements. We have new music that she's actually happy about and she's promoting it with more effort in her music videos than she's done since maybe 'A No No'. Enjoy it lest you be bitter, hatin' ass hoes for the rest of your existence.
