MESSAGEBOARD

"The Impossible (Reprise)" (live) (30,663) by Billy from Greece

I just love the way this interlude sounds live (the way it was performed during the "Angels Advocate" tour). I similarly love "We Belong Together" (remix) when it is performed live. Amazing melodies, great percussion. The winds/horns on the former are also amazing.

Bsquared (30,662) by JAS from the USA

I don't know what's wrong with the whole production team on the remixes. But hopefully the leak will give them an opportunity to "fix" the Ribbon remix and take Dream off. I am basically over it, but for the songs not released like Imperfect and Skydiving. I also hope the MJB and Jodeci remixes are worth it. As to the rest, it's whatever. The whole thing seemed ill conceived when Tricky Stewart starting talking about it a whole week after Memoirs was released in the fall.

I don't even know what to say (30,661) by JAS from the USA

So it seems that LA Reid is about to sign J-Lo to Def Jam. Lol, that will be very interesting. Leave Mariah, leave. But on another note, if it's true Mariah wants to work with Woody Allen, I am just left speechless. If she wants to be careful who she works with, I am sure there are many talented and respectable directors she could align herself with. *kanyeshrug*
(Wednesday March 10, 2010; 18:55)

LA Reid (30,660) by Will from England

Ok, what is this man up to? Seriously. We've now got confirmation that he's going to sign JLo and you know what that's going to mean. If he promotes JLo more than Mariah, I think we'll be spitting knives. I don't know what to make of him not to going to that speech, but I think it's not going too well for him. If somebody else comes in, then they'd better treat Mariah with the respect that she deserves. Or she should leave. Period.

Summer mix playlist (30,659) by Ric from the USA

I've been wanting to compile an MC summer mix playlist for a while. I'd include tracks like "My All", "After Tonight" and maybe the Panjabi Hit Squad mix of "Boy (I Need You)". Can anyone suggest other MC tracks and mixes that "feel" like warm weather and exotic locations?

Can we campaign for a second holiday/Christmas CD? (30,658) by Ric from the USA

I'm a big fan of holiday music and I've heard past interviews with artists who have commented that you have to start a holiday CD project early in the year so that it can be released in November. Isn't it time for a second Mariah holiday CD? The success of the 2009 remixes for "All I Want for Christmas is You" seems to show there is demand. Maybe we send a note to Nick Cannon and get him to suggest it.

Angels Advocate delay / Oscar dress / rumors (30,657) by Nyeem from Virginia Beach, VA.

Hi all posting again. Is it me or everytime MC has an album coming out in recent years it always gets pushed back and never released on the day it was originally intended for. Hmm Natatalie, I had to chuckle at your statement about The Dream and I ask this of you. Did you really give much thought into the Dream as a singer? He's a great songwriter and that is as far as I think he should be allowed. Some of his ad-libs can be very annoying and detracting and his singing voice is really not up for singing at all. But the man can put good use of his pen ans paper skills, I got to give him that. Now I for one love when MC is out hitting the red carpet look all sheek and scrumtous. However when I saw her dress at the Oscars I was not in awe. It was not for her at all. MC has worn way better creations than the frock she choose on motion pictures biggest night. Yuck is what I say, just plain old [...]. Preggy rumors are always circulating celebs when they gain weight or look more [...] than usual, MC is no exception. However I truly want this rumor to be true for various reasons but I won't list. Switching labels is what needs to happen. These last 2 lp's were severly in need of label promo and support, [...] said. Has anyone here seen Tennessee? I just recently ordered it but I haven't been reading or seeing anything about it at the boards or maybe I have missed someone's post about it. Either way, please respond if you had. I would like to get some early critiques about it. Remember, give "100%".

Oscars (30,656) by Stephen from London, England

I have to agree with any positive comments made on Mariah's Oscars dress. She looked stunning and accentuated her curves in all the right places. This is such a gay thing to say, which is cool seeing that I am gay lol, but this is how on point Mariah was. Gold toned dresses were the colour of the night at the Oscars and are the colour for this spring, whereas deep blue was last seasons red carpet flavour. However, Mariah or her stylist knowing this, chose a colour of blue that compliments a gold tone very well. As a result Mariah's shoe game was on point yet again, as she had a magnificant pair of gold tone shoes on, which worked so well with her dress. This meant that not only did Mariah wear a stunning dress, but she also followed a trend for the night, without looking like a follower, as she did it in her way, through shoes etc, which I think was a better look than that awful dress Sandra Bullock wore, which looked like an Oscar itself. These Hollywood actresses need to eat. I was so proud to see such a healthy looking Precious cast.

Bob, IAA from the USA (30,655) by Nicknamelee from the USA

I want to say thank you very much for taking your time in responding to my inquiry. The ideas you shared are really great. I will try something like that. Also, I do have Mariah's CD's as well. Thank you very much.

Jas / Basquard (30,654) by Nattalie from the USA

Well, I pray to God that they are pushing that mess back because they feel like they need to delete Dream out of that Ribbon song and all the other songs he's singing in. And other mess that aint sounding right. What a mess. Where is JD when you need him? I mean, it sounds so inserted and lame. Another thing, the song went from sexy and sweet to nerdy. Dream sound so corny. Luda sounds like the sexy man that comes around to hit it up then all the sudden this "loser" comes in and tries to take the spotlight from the sexy man but fails. Said like Simon Cowell. And Dream kills all of Mariah's best highlights of the song when she sings you got me, you got me. It's like goodness. Don't kill the attention grabber. And he sings too much over her like what the heck for real. What a waste of time. I thought Dream knew better than that. Guys, I'm so sorry I can't stop talking about this song. It sounds so bad that I think a lame fan of Dream inserted him in there or something. Might of fact it sounds so weird that I think that the song was complete with just Luda and MC but when MC left the studio Dream decided to slip his lame part into the song without them knowing.

Ribbon remix (30,653) by Kimora A. from the USA

Yeah, it was terrible, all over the place and awkward. I couldn't believe that Ludacris had like one verse. I kept waiting for him to start rapping again and all I got was The Dream who was nothing but a nightmare. I'm sorry but this guy cannot rap and he cannot sing. I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt but I cannot stand Dream now, he has way too big a ego that he cannot back up. I really hope that the remix that we listened to on YT really isn't what is on the album.

Something up her sleeve (30,652) by Chris M S from the United States

Could it be that she's switching labels? Hopefully, seeing that I'm reading that they are now pushing this album back to late May. This woman better run for the hills, because this is purely sabotage. She deserves better than this. Hell, we as fans deserve better than this.
(Wednesday March 10, 2010; 0:22)

Jas / Ribbon remix / AA album delay (30,651) by Bsquared from Boston, USA

I have to agree, it's beyond terrible, except for Luda. Wow, what is she thinking with these remixes? Lots of people are not feeling the cut and paste thing. So now rumors are everywhere that it is has been postponed yet again. I'm starting to wonder what the point is now.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 23:28)

Ribbon remix (30,650) by Nattalie from the USA

What a hot mess. Ludas' part was amazing and it added nice flavor to the song. Now can someone please tell me why the Dream had to take part in this song some more? Dream can't sing. Dream slaughtered the remix. It's pretty sad. Never thought Dream could mess up that much.

Push back / statement about the rumours (30,649) by Will from England

Ok, I think we were all expecting it to be pushed back, but till May/April? I must say, if these push backs are legit, then the timing I must say can be viewed on with such suspicion. First, Mariah hints that something special is on the way which has lead people to believe that she may be pregnant, and now there are reports that the albums are being pushed back. Coincidence? Maybe. But that statement by Mariah's manager has really thrown me off. What can she be talking about? Any guesses guys?

Anyone hear anything about (30,648) by Gilbert from the USA

The dance remix cd? Is it still coming out? I'm not to excited about the features album as much as the dance remix cd.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 19:12)

Oscars (30,647) by Nattalie from the USA

Oh boy, Mariah looked dashing. As usual. I'm so glad Precious got awards. I still have not seen that movie. I will though. I got it under my netflix que. So I'm excited about that. Monique looked amazing. I'm so proud of her. I have just always loved her character when it comes to everything. Including life.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 19:07)

Nicknamelee (30,646) by Bob, IAA from the USA

Nicknamelee, Mariah's "people" do visit this site (and other MC sites) from time to time to "feel the pulse of the lambs". Heck, they may even post from time to time too. You never know (*smile*). We'll see what happens. Maybe they'll respond. In the meantime, Mariah is already there for you. How? Well, I would assume you have her CD's (at least some of them). You can find comfort, inspiration, ideas, and maybe even "the right words to say" to your friend, just by really listening to Mariah. Without knowing what exactly happened, I can't say any specific song, or songs to listen to. if I had to give any direction, I'd say check out "Glitter". I think there may be something on there for you. There's always something she wrote somewhere in her vast catalog that seems to fit whatever it is you have going on. Read liner notes. Have a mutual friend show your friend your post. When he sees that you've pretty much put your feelings out there for all to see, he'll realize just how much you are hurting, and I'm sure he'll want to talk to you. May it all work out for you. M4E
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 16:54)

HarryB (30,645) by JAS from the USA

Exactly. Point well made regarding TMZ. I mean, really neither MC, nor anyone else should want to conduct their life based on what TMZ editors or bloggers have to say. They are beneath Perez and Wendy Williams, or maybe they are all at the bottom of the barrel. Lol.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 6:36)

Mariah at the Oscars (30,644) by Jonathan from the USA

One of her best looks ever, and trust me when I say this because I am admittedly one of those people who are overcritical of what Mariah wears. This gown was absolutely stunning, it was sexy but not slutty, elegant and graceful, and just so gorgeous and accentuated her curves in all the right places. The haters are those who are half of Mariah's age and can't even compare to how beautiful she is. Honestly, think of the last 40 year old you saw who could pull off a dress showing off legs and a fairly low neckline. She looked so gorgeous, and her hair and makeup as well as accessories were right on point.

Precious / Mo'Nique / Gabby / MC's dress / big news (30,643) by Kimora A. from the USA

Congratulations to Mo'Nique for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Yeah Mo'Nique, she deserved it so much. Gabby was so great, it was wonderful that Oprah was there to give a speech on her and although she didn't win, it was an honor for her to even be nominated when you think on it, because usually first time actors aren't nominated for such a prestigious award, and when they are, it's because they're oustandingly special. I loved Mo'Nique's dress, and of course I loved Mariah's dress, I know some people didn't. I know I actually watched Wendy Williams and she just had to throw MC into the mix, but she's just a hater, she'll say anything to make Mariah look bad. Lot's of other people and mags loved her dress and jewelery. I do wonder what Mariah's big news is, I know that everyone keeps saying she's pregnant and as much as I'd like to believe them and be happy that she and NC are having a mini-Cannon, I don't know. Besides, Mariah already has said she wouldn't tell the press even if she was (a part of me can imagine her still not confirming it even when she's about to pop). I've run through a list of other possibilities and come up blank, so whatever it is, I'll be somewhat surprised.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 2:36)

Congrats for Precious Oscars (30,642) by JAS from the USA

That's fantastic for Monique and the screenwriter. I wish they remembered to thank the director and Saffire for writing it. Nerves can make one forget important things in the moment though. I hope Mariah is pregnant and takes those fews years off. She deserves them and a baby would be wonderfull for them. I hope she doesn't do any Lee Daniels movies any time soon, as I hear they have some projects in the works. Whatever to that.
(Tuesday March 9, 2010; 2:27)

Ribbon remix (30,641) by JAS from the USA

Well, I almost threw up a little when I heard that one. The Dream sucks like a rotten egg on that record. Ludacris' flow is thight, but I could do without the content and MC's vocals are the same. I don't know WTF Dream was doing singing, and what not all over the track. I'm sad if that will be the final product. I know I am biased against the Dream, but he keeps proving me right, at least to me. Lol.

Mariah's dress (30,639) by Will from England

One word: stunning. I just couldn't believe how fantastic she looked at the Oscars. Of course, the haters here thought it was awful and showed "too much skin/thigh/upper layer etc.", but I thought it really was a fantastic choice. And I loved how the Precious cast colour coordinated: all blue. Lol. Her hair was fantastic, the shoes went nicely and I just can't get over the dress. Throughout her 20 year career, I think that this is Mariah's best dress out of anything that she's ever worn. For real.
(Monday March 8, 2010; 23:12)

Prego (30,638) by Gilbert from the USA

Well, when I saw Mariah live at the Gibson show on the 24th, she looked like she had a little bump on her stomach. My first thought was, is she pregnant?

Precious scores two Oscars (30,637) by Stacey (Daydreamer-MC) from the USA

Congrats to Precious, scoring two Oscars last night. MC looked great. Over the years, I've been most critical of MC's dress. She is so talented as a songwriter, producer, director, etc. I know some will say she's a grown woman and can do what she wants. That's true, but I've always felt her choices have overshadowed her amazing talent. People, as shallow as it may be, focus more on the dress than the talent within. It was nice to see her looking great, finally getting recognition in the grandest platform of them all: the Oscars.
(Monday March 8, 2010; 21:29)

So (30,636) by Will from England

Do you think that Mariah is pregnant? Considering that this is probably the 1901st time that they're reporting it, I hope that it's true, especially if Mariah mentioned something special. But could it be something else? I've been trying to think of other things which will be coming up, expect of course her anniversary (birthday one) and her 20th anniversary of being the the music business. And some of the messages which I've seen about this rumour on other sites have just been plain horrid to Mariah. Why isn't anybody happy? You would've thought that people would at least be happy that she's pregnant, but no, they have to say really nasty things about her. Well, she's got us at any rate.

Unknown gems (30,634) by Nyeem from Virginia Beach, VA.

Whew, I haven't posted her at all for the new year. I've been reading, just haven't been posting every since my attack. I just don't feel too comfortable with posting my opinion and be super slaughtered for it. I mean, people have a right to counter, but not to downright attack in the name of opinions. Now in my opinion some lesser known tracks that are true gems on her albums but were never released are:
Mariah Carey - Vanishing (this song is how i discovered MC), All In Your Mind, Prisoner
Emotion - So Blessed (fav), The Wind
Music Box - Music Box (fav)
Daydream - I Am Free (fav), When I Saw You, Melt Away
Butterfly - Close My Eyes, Whenever You Call feat. Brian McKnight
Rainbow - Bliss, After Tonight, Vulnerability (I know but it's my fav on Rainbow)
Glitter - Lead The Way, Want You (fav)
Charmbracelet - The One, Yours, I Only Wanted, My Saving Grace (fav)
The Emancipation Of Mimi - One And Only, Circles (fav), I Wish You Knew
E=MC2 - Migrate, Side Effects, For The Record (fav), practically the whole LP
Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel - Betcha Gon' Know, Candy Bling, Standing O (fav)
Angels Advocate - TBA, although I really don't care much for these remixes because they are not vocally sung over, just patched in singers with her existing vocals.
Well those are my top pics. Hopefully I don't get fried, baked and stuffed for stating my opinion on what I feel are true gems never released by MC. Special shout out to Academy Award winner Monique aka Mary Johnston.

Re: Luis (30,630) by Ian from Malaysia

Hi Luis, guess you also get the emails from the collectors who want to sell their items huh? But don't you think this is also a nice thing to be happened where the new lambs can get a chance to collect some rare items that are hard or impossible to find nowadays? I am still collecting Mariah's stuff, CDs, DVDs, VCDs, cassettes, videos, vinyls, MD, posters, magazines, flyers, standees, fans, books, everything about her. But after so many years, people will get tired and need some rest or focus on their private life. I also thinking to stop or slow down the collection as I spent too much time, money and effort to search, trade, and buy her stuffs. Perhaps one day I will end it, but for sure not now.

MCLover re: why, oh why? (30,629) by Bob, IAA from the USA

MCLover, you should see the stuff people say about our Mariah out there. It makes the TMZ stuff very tame. On Yahoo! Groups, there are actual "anti-Mariah" sites with hundreds of members, but the "pro-Mariah" groups have 5 maybe 10 members. Unbelievable, that's all I got to say. I look at it this way. She's given me 20 years of her life, and she's always been there for me when I needed her. You bet I'm going to be there for her, and I'll do what I can to defend her. I've been a "hater hunter" for years because of the love and respect I have for her. Trust me, I go all over and it sickens me sometimes what these people say. I just came from a very nauseating messageboard, and I left them a nice message. I know I'll get a "nice reply" back. All I can say to them is "bring it on morons, ha ha". Whatever it takes to educate these people, that's what I'll do. All I can say is, stand by "your girl" MCLover (and all other lambs), and do what you can. She's a sweet, wonderful, beautiful woman who doesn't deserve the garbage they dish out at her. Enjoy the day. M4E

Mariah at the Oscars and Angels Advocate album (30,628) by Elias from Sydney, Australia

Mariah looks great, showed some skin but kept it a class act. As for her "Angels Advocate" project, I really think it's a waste of time if she isn't bringing anything new to the songs i.e. new vocals. It seems like there is a cut and past effect on the songs of rappers singing. The H.A.T.E.U remix is great as she has resung her part.

Mariah, please help me (30,627) by Nicknamelee from the USA

I know this is wishful thinking, but I just wanted to try. I'm begging Mariah can somehow see this message, I want your help. I've lost a very good friend because of my stupidity and imaturity. I just made a huge mistake that could have been avoided. Now my friend has not spoken to me nor respond to me anymore. I really don't want to lose my friend because he is very kind and very caring to everyone such as myself. I cared about him alot, too. I apologized to him a dozen of times, but I won't ever get a reply back. He does not even give me a chance to explain myself of the situation that ended our good friendship. I've been very sad and depressed eversince. I just wish anyone could help me with this. I'm just so desperate to make things good between me and my friend again. Life has been so difficult because of this. I just made a huge mistake. I've apologized many times, but it seems like it's not working. I don't know what else I can do to make it up and be friends again.

Lesser know tracks (30,625) by GeeMan from the U.S.A. by way of N.Y.C.

Why, oh why? (30,624) by MCLover from the USA

Ok, so I was on the TMZ message boards and was shocked on the horrible comments left by 90% of people. Why is MC so disliked by the general public? I know Mariah probably could care less what anybody thinks about her, and to an extent that's great, but it's essential to have a good image in order to have a good career. Lambs know her character and sense of humor, but others just don't seem to get it. I think MC should be more personable, show the public she's not some self absorved diva like they make her out to be. Be more comfortable.

Sex and the city / Precious (30,623) by Nattalie from the USA

Hey guys, the new Sex And The City movie is coming out in May. I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool if they used some new tracks from Memoirs to be in that film? Ugh, that would be amazing. I know there is a song that Mariah has that could relate with Sex And The City. Guys, I'm still trying to see Precious. LMBO. I mean something always happen to hinder me from watching. I set it as my number 2 on netflix so I hope I get it in the mail next week.

Lead The Way / MC collection (30,621) by Ignatius from Singapore

"Lead The Way" is probably the song where I can sense the most raw emotion from the voice of an artist, from how it progresses from verse to chorus, and after the second chorus when Mariah transitions to belting. It's definitely one of my favourite love songs of all-time. Meanwhile, I think nearly every song in The Emancipation Of Mimi is a smash hit. It's like a compilation of #1's to me. I'm proud of my collection of Mariah Carey albums and I will never part with them, although I feel like I'm probably the only person in my country who owns every MC studio album ever made.

Up Out My Face (30,620) by Alain from Philippines

It dropped to No.43 in the RnB chart and fell out of the Hot 100 after debuting at the bottom. Standing O and Candy Bling must be released or MC should take a break and comeback in mid 2012 with a new sound with inspirational songs as a theme or a gospel album. I like "Memoirs" and for me it's one of her best in this decade. It can be compared to "TEOM" only. "TEOM" is a little better than "Memoirs" so where are the real fans who bought "TEOM"? Are they not buying "Memoirs"? Well, I am just curious where they are or probably they simply do not like the album. Sigh.

Lesser known tracks / Precious (30,618) by Stacey (Daydreamer-MC) from the USA

Daydream is my favorite album. I love When I Saw You and Daydream Interlude. Till The End of Time is such a passion filled song, especially the bridge into the final chorus. Sends chills up my spine everytime. Now That I Know from MB is one of those uptempo tracks folks don't listen to a lot. I think it is just as good as commerical releases MIH and Emotions. Circles is amazing, especiall that octave jump at the end. Amazing. Because Glitter was panned by so many, and add to the fact 9/11 happened, most folks outside of MC fandom haven't heard Lead The Way. I wish someday to see this song on some sort of compliation. I can't believe it was left off The Ballads CD. I Only Wanted and All I've Ever Wanted are great. You know, Whenever You Call doesn't get much praise, but I tell you, that bridge is some of the best lyrics about what love truly means I've ever read. After Tonight is a great ballad, especially the radio edit that ends the song so beautifully. Anywho, I could go on and on. Those are just some of my favorite lesser known tracks. BTW: Congrats to Precious.

Attention Mariah Carey collectors (30,616) by Luis Uribe from the USA

I want to know what's going on. I've been noticing alot of people selling off all of their Mariah Carey collection. Why? Are you losing faith in Mimi? Is it the bad economy? Are you growing out of it? I'm 29 and still collecting for the past 15 years, but I wouldn't dare to sell my collection. All that work, time and effort for nothing? It really breaks my heart. Can someone take some time and give me some feedback? BTW, is anyone looking forward about the new remix album? I just think it sucks that she didn't go back in the studio to re-record everything. Oh well, I hope it's good.

Re: Billy Lane, favourite album tracks / congrats to Precious (30,615) by Guido Raphael from Paraguay

Of course. Album tracks are some of my favorite MC songs of some of her albums like Lookin In (Daydream), Close My Eyes (Butterfly), Lead The Way (Glitter), Clown (Charmbracelet), Stay The Night (TEOM), Thanx 4 Nothin' (E=MC2), It's A Wrap (MOAIA). As for the B-Sides, I absolutely love Slipping Away (ABMB Single) and There For Me (NTF/HM single). And some of my favorite bonus tracks from international releases are Sprung (TEOM) and Heat (E=MC2). And speaking of not released material, one of my favs collaborations, I think, was never release as a single or anything, and it's Got A Thing 4 U with Da Brat. On another note, congratulations to all the staff from Precious for winning 5 out 5 Independent Spirit Awards. Personally, I'm so happy that Gabby finally got one of the big ones. Yay. I'm looking forward to see everyone at the Oscar red carpet and ceremony tomorrow. Here's hope for Mariah to show up, lol. Hey, you never know,

UOMF / Stephen from the UK (30,614) by Angela from San Jose, California

Hey everybody. First of all Stephen from the UK, I'm sorry I missed your birthday hun. Hope you had a good one. You know I love you. As far as MOAIA goes, I still say it's one of Mariah's best albums. I love it. UOMF has always been a fav of mine and the video is great. Hope all is well with everyone.

Favourite album tracks (30,613) by Billy Lane from the UK

Does anyone out there have any favourite songs of Mariah's that are not that well-known/liked by the masses? I know the Charmbracelet album gets a lot of flack, but I really like Lullaby and You Had Your Chance. I think Do You Think Of Me from the Dreamlover single is also one of her best compositions. It stirs up so many feelings for me. I could have sung that song about so many people.

MOAIA and UOMF (30,611) by Will from England

It seems that MOAIA is making a small comeback on the charts. Making a jump of 58 places. So it seems that the UOMF remix is getting it noticed, but from what I've seen from the charts, it's not getting the positions which it needs. Sales for the original have also increased. I think there's still hope yet. All Mariah needs to do now is have a small break and go into full blown promotion without any hitches. The album should drop on the date and not keep getting pushed back. Plus a little more attention from IDJ and she could potentially get a good album. Now, I need to know something, how many albums was Mariah's contract with IDJ for? I thought it was four albums in total. If that is true, then she technically has gone over what their original contract had said, since they're considering AA as a new album. So it would be CB, TEOM, E=MC2 and MOAIA as part of the original contract. Am I correct in saying this or is this complete rubbish?

Memoirs sales (30,610) by Ian from Malaysia

Hi, this is absolutely the best album so far, with full of hits and songs. I am so happy that this album is climbing up the Billboard 200 now. Oh, I can't wait for the remixes/duet album now.

Big congrats IWKWLI (30,609) by JAS from the USA

Ignatius from Singapore, MOAIA sales (30,608) by Mama from Australia

I think the low sales of MOAIA has a lot to do with the mismanagement of the album. All the push backs, the timing of promo, videos not being released when singles are released. Also I think that the popularity of Lady Gaga and Beyonce has had an impact also. I personally believe that after E=MC2, Memoirs is her best album, but maybe that's just because it's the most recent. E=MC2 should have sold [...] more then it did also, and I also think that was due to mismanagement of the project and wrong single choices. Migrate should have been the second single. I'm hoping she releases a DVD of the Angels Advocate tour.

Memoirs' record sales (30,607) by Shanee from the USA

I have been reading a lot about Mariah's new album not selling what it should have, but I think some of you guys are not paying attention. Memoirs is creeping up the hot 200 albums chart. Last week it was at 161 (which is up from the week before) and now it's at 66. The album is a grower. UOMF is a hit and Angels Advocate will be ok if they release it on the 30th. This album still has singles in it. MTJF, BGK remix with R. Kelly, Ribbon.

Re: (30,602) by Ignatius / keep voting everyone (30,606) by M-Perry from the USA

Because no one knew the album was coming out. Bad marketing and to many push backs. Samething that may happen to AA. I read that AA might be pushed back again. I don't believe everything I read but if it does get pushed back again, I won't be shocked. Keep voting for UOMF at radio and on tv. VH1 and BET.

20 years later (30,605) by GeeMan from the USA by way of NYC

There are so many memories that stick out for like seeing for first time ever on Aresnio Hall. Watching Mariah win her first Grammy. Or the classic artist of the decade speech. But for me my favorite moment is more of a personal moment. During the Charmbracelet era Mariah had a show at Radio City Music Hall in New York. At the time I was going through a lot family issues among other things. I literally felt a special and emotional feeling when Mimi performed My Saving Grace. The message in that song hit home for me in so many ways. Though it has always been one of my favorite tracks on CB. The raw and honest perform and seeing MC be so brave during a dark time in her life helped me pull through my dark times. In the moment I didn't see Mimi the superstar but I got to witness Mimi the person upclose and personal and for me that moment will always be a special one. Peace and well wishes to Eric and the entire Archives family worldwide.

Vibe Online diss (30,604) by JAS from the USA

Oh no, they didn't diss Mariah and Whitney Houston in one fell swoop recently. Lol. The nerve of Vibe (I see why they went out of business). I just read a scathing indictment on whether these ladies should continue to sing. WH's voice may be ruined beyong repair, but Mariah just needs a break from the scene, to rest, regroup and just enjoy life. I do hope Mariah takes a break after Memoirs/Angel's Advocate. She will be missed and she should have faith that fans will be waiting. The article ended with at least we have Sade. Lol. That was cold and very sideways. Then today Vibe Online had the nerve to quote Tricky Stewart as to why we love Sade so much. Really? They indict Mariah for her recent efforts and then interview and quote one of the chief architects of her current sound. I shake my head at that one. Tricky said it's all about showcasing the voice, the sparseness etc for Sade. I wish it seemed like he thought more about Mariah's voice and its best use for Memoirs. If he did, it didn't come accross to me. Maybe it was those damn leaked demos with Dream's voice. I hope MC moves on to the next one, or does it herself next time. Quality music, real instruments, beautiful lyrics and some good melodies generally make timeless music.
