Re: Christmas (87,323) (87,325) by Bill from the UK Hi Mara, wow what a present. Happy birthday to you. I've never met Mariah but I would feel exactly the same as you are, as she's been a constant in my life since I was a little boy and I honestly don't know what I'd do if she was standing in front of me. Nerves are a good thing, and as Anthony said prepare yourself for the briefest of encounters as I've heard it's literally a wave into the room, click, see you later type of thing. Maybe plan out the one sentence you want to say to her, like "Thank you for writing Outside, it changed my life" or something brief like that. I'm really excited for you. Going to be a day you'll never forget, all the best for it and please tell us all how it went. (Monday 31 December 2018; 12:57)

Re: Caution trivia (87,320) (87,324) by Brad from USA Yes, Jeff is right. in "Its Like That" MC warns "caution, it's so exclusive". Well done. Happy New Year everyone. (Monday 31 December 2018; 06:18)

Re: Christmas (87,308) (87,323) by Mara from United States Thank you Anthony and MusicfanJ and thank you MusicfanJ for the birthday wishes. I'm glad you understand what I was trying to say. I do realize it will literally be a hi/bye pic type of meeting but you still say something to her. I guess I'm just beyond excited but there is so many emotions at the same time. I too would love to just see MC somewhere and just interact with her like a regular person. It must be nice to run into her in Aspen or a restaurant or whatever. Anyhow, I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve whenever that may be and thank you Eric for keeping the best MC fan page with the most informative news archives as well as complete discography out there. We appreciate you. (Monday 31 December 2018; 02:13)

Re: Caution 2019 (87,315) (87,322) by B from USA Only one single has been released so far so let's what and see what Mariah and her team have in store for the New Year. (Monday 31 December 2018; 01:01)

Caution (87,321) by B from USA Idolator named Caution the Album of the Year. (Monday 31 December 2018; 00:55)

Caution trivia (87,320) by Jeff from USA When I heard "Caution", I immediately thought of "It's Like That". Caution, it's so explosive. Them chickens is ash, I'm lotion. Is that what you were thinking? (Sunday 30 December 2018; 19:13)

Proceeding with Caution (87,319) by Jeff from USA Now that Christmas is over, do y'all think Caution can come back into the spotlight? I hope so. I'm so excited that the album is popular with critics, and I hope that the general public embraces it. This is such an amazing offering from MC. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Re: Being in your 20s (87,307) (87,318) by TJ from Norway I enjoyed my 20's, still feel like 27, but I love being in my 40's. Life is more stable, and I'm more aware of the choices I take in life. Even if I feel like 27, I don't try to act like a 27 years old guy. Too bad that ageing seems like a negative thing in the music business. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 19:05)

Re: Being in your 20s (87,307) (87,317) by RibbonB from USA I know that s right Licia. And raising them around different randoms is bound to be problematic over time. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 18:27)

Re: Me I Am Mariah revisited (87,297) (87,316) by RibbonB from USA Aww, not the baby's song. It's cute, but I get it. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 18:13)

Caution 2019 (87,315) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand So all the reviews are raves, Mariah has had a stellar year in terms of publicity, but is this enough to catapult that album back up the charts? I read on this thread that With You was holding at #8 on the AC chart. Radio just won't play her anymore. How can we turn this around? (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:59)

Re: Rodney Jerkins (87,296) (87,314) by B from USA Never Say Never has ballads on it produced by Jerkins, doesn't it? (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:27)

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,302) (87,313) by B from USA I emailed it to you. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:25)

Re: AIWFCIY #2 (87,305) (87,312) by B from USA Agreed. Epic and Mariah are going to go out next year to commerate the anniversary of the release of AIWFCIY and Merry Christmas. I hope they reissue the cd single for the nostalgia. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:17)

Re: Being in your 20s (87,307) (87,311) by B from USA Mariah made some questionable decisions during Stella's reign of terror both professionally and personally but she finally seems to be in a good place. Her career is back on track and she seems to be genuinely happy. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 17:10)

"Glitter" movie commercial / "Firecracker" (87,310) by Billy from Greece I remember reading that on the initial trailers of "Glitter" you could hear either the original version of "Loverboy" sampling "Firecracker" or just "Firecracker". I just found this so it verifies it. Not sure if it is just the sample or the original "Loverboy" though. As I re-watch the trailer, I think that it is the original "Loverboy" that is played towards the end because the sample is slowed down (compared to the original "Firecraker") and you can hear parts of the vocals as we now know them (namely, the opening of the song before the verses). This is very intriguing because I can somehow imagine how the melody of the chorus would fit on top of the "Firecracker" sample. You can actually sort of sing it following the sample's melodic direction. To be honest, I think I prefer the "Candy" sample, though I can see why a coherent melody was not as prominent in the chorus of "Loverboy" with "Candy" as its basis. Maybe it's the familiarity factor, maybe it's because I've associated "Firecracker" with that other lady's inferior song, I don't know, but I still love "Loverboy" as it is. Interesting discovery, nonetheless. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:48)

Re: AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (87,304) (87,309) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here in Germany it's still at number 2. Like in the UK right? Next year it has to be number one. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:25)

Re: Christmas (87,303) (87,308) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mara first I want to say happy belated birthday to you. You must be very happy with the lovely presents. Unfortunately I have no experiences with a meet and great for Mariah. But I can completely understand what you mean with super excited. I've been a fan and admirer for Mariah since 95. So I grew up with her too. It's like you said, it's one big lifetime dream to meet the woman who is there for one for so long. Somehow MC is like a close friend because she's a part of our life with her music and so on. I mean the longtime fans. Anyway I'm sure you'll find a nice outfit for Mariah. You'll look beautiful with everything. Don't be too nervous. But I understand that it's almost a bit frightening. Your thought what would happen if Mariah has a bad day could be mine, if I had a meet and great. But that won't happen. I know on this board are some members who have already had the meet and great. It's always interesting to read those experiences. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:23)

Re: Being in your 20s (87,283) (87,307) by Licia from USA I can see that as what happened, but when did you grow up and grow out of that phase? Mariah is almost 50 now with small children. IMO she shouldn't still be making those silly decisions especially since they could affect her children. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 14:14)

Re: Christmas (87,303) (87,306) by anonymous from UK I met her via a meet and greet when she came to Cardiff. It was a cool experience, I mean you don't get much time with her, it's kind of a blink and you'll miss it sort of situation, but the picture I had taken with her is immaculate and I adore it. It was worth it for that pic alone. Just treat her as she is - a human being. It really is just an in, have pic, leave kinda thing, so you won't spend any significant amount of time with her for it to make you think less of her. One day I'd like to meet MC for real and actually hang out with her and chat about life things, not even necessarily about her music, but just like life. A guy can dream. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 13:53)

Re: AIWFCIY #2 (87,291) (87,305) by enwar00 from usa I agree with you. I think they are going to pull out all the stops next year to try and make it happen. Make it happen. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 05:40)

AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (87,304) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway For the second year in a row, AIWFCIY is #1 on the VG-lista Topp 20, Norway's official music chart. AIWFCIY is the only song by Mariah to have reached #1 in Norway. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 05:35)

Christmas (87,303) by Mara from United States Well, I have to vent and I have to vent to real MC fans and my MCA family. My birthday is Christmas Eve and for my birthday and Christmas gift, my husband got me second row tickets to Mariah's last Vegas show this leg, on February 21st. Well, if that wasn't enough, he splurged on the Meet and Greet. Just one meet and greet of course as he is a fan but not a big enough one to spend the amount for another M&G ticket. Now, I have loved and adored this woman since VOL, since 1990, I was 14-15 years old. While I am beyond ecstatic with this dream like once in a lifetime opportunity and literally lifelong dream, I am terrified. I feel like I have looked up to this woman/girl as I have grown with Mariah, I am nervous to actually meet her. I feel like if she is having a bad night, I don't want that being the impression I leave with. I don't know if anyone met her on this board through a M&G before, but I really am a nervous wreck over this. I am no fancy 5th Ave fan, no LA fancy fan, just a regular fan that had someone charge the extra feature and will pay for a while for it, lol. I am nervous about it all. I may sound crazy, but this is someone I literally felt like I knew all or most of my life and to finally actually get to meet them, I am dying inside. Has anyone on here met MC through a meet and greet? I'm stressing on what they wear, what they say. I have nothing in my closet I can wear next to Mariah Carey. I am beyond excited and feel like I am going to pass out when I finally see her but I just wanted to know if anyone else has any tips for me or real experiences with this? Thank you in advance.
