This question depends on what the fans want from Mariah Carey. Also, what Mariah Carey wants for herself. Are we wanting more #1's? Are we wanting a solid album for the fans?

I think every person had at least one good suggestion. I'm not saying Mariah should copy them. Let's be real. They are copies of her. No disrespect to those artists. The direction I would push hardest is Adele. Mariah has always been none for her ballads. The depth. The relatability. The lyrics. The voice. Adele is just doing what Mariah once did. I say do that. In recent history, I feel Mariah's ballads are a bit more fluffy. Maybe focused on being a song everyone could relate to and not enough of her. Adele and Taylor Swift are the two current best writers. You can see how everyone relates to the music but you can also see them in the music. I love all of Mariah's music but I didn't believe I Stay In Love With You, I didn't believe Mine, I didn't believe... That's my thought. Put more of her story into the music. Rihanna and Selena Gomez are good suggestions if we are talking mid or up tempos. The fun stuff like It's Like That, Beautiful or You Don't Know What To Do. Those girls as well as Beyoncé and Ariana Grande. I see Mariah in their fun Music. I see Mariah is Adele's serious music. I say We could still have another Emancipation Of Mimi. She needs to get in shape and be happy with her life, then dive into the studio. Get hot producers and co-writers. Put out a serious album. A few radio friendly mid-tempos but mostly serious ballets. Remind the world what's up. Also, when the single/album comes out, sell it!!! The way she is promoting her book, movie, Mac products and Vegas/Beacon shows. When Emancipation Of Mimi came out, she was in every show in every country. I think Beautiful could have been a #1 but she performed it once on Idol and once on GMA. Mariah has never gone away in 25 years. Adele goes away for years so there is anticipation. Mariah only has her fans anticipation. So, you have to build it. Drill the music into the publics head like you did with We Beling Together.
