Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,327) (85,349) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Create this dumb bigger than life diva persona hasn't worked for Mariah, it's done more bad than good to her career." I completely agree with it. And the MM-inspired persona is also boring. As you said I loved the idea for the video on "ISB" and Mariah was always sexy without trying too hard. That was her thing, and everyone well most were loving this side of her. I wonder why she forget it. I'm really happy if she takes the "fake diva" personality back. She is Mariah Carey and she can still admire Marilyn Monroe (I love her too). But at some point it looked like she was copying MM too much and this never works for anybody. I also see the positive changes and like most members of the board I can only say thank you new team Mariah. So glad they are trying to repair her image and knowing what they do at a time where the music biz is not easy to predict and control. I'm ready for "Caution". (Saturday 27 October 2018; 11:13)

Re: Caution album (85,336) (85,348) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I do not have a link sorry. I didn't get to listen to it either, I saw some lambs post a link to UKMix but I could not access it from my country and now I hear that all the links expired so I'm guessing Mariah's team got the song removed.

Mariah in Minneapolis March 13 (85,347) by John from USA Anybody planning to watch Mariah next year in the Twin Cities? I'm bummed none of my friends here are Mariah fans. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 03:50)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,323) (85,346) by Victoria from USA Duh. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 03:18)

Re: Article: "Voice" coaches reportedly upset over Mariah Carey hire (85,339) (85,345) by B from USA Agreed. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 02:25)

Re: A No No (85,314) (85,344) by Bobby A from United States This track is sick. MC ain't playing with Caution. I am telling everybody this is MC's Thiller y'all. Who ever is leaking the track - stop please. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 02:08)

Re: "Cry." (85,325) (85,343) by Hector from Mexico I love it. Classic Mariah. Reminds me of the Walter era. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 01:27)

A no no (85,342) by S from England Have you guys heard this new leaked track? It's absolutely awesome. I haven't commented here for years but feel so energised by her new work ethic and amazing tone. It's like she's developed this new tone around her current vocal state and it's really working for her. I wonder if she worked with a coach. Here's to hoping she can get that extra no. 1. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 01:26)

Re: Caution album (85,337) (85,341) by Bobby A from United States I just hope no more tracks leak. I just saw the track listing on a blog website with only 10 songs. Four of them we have already heard. I want an element of surprise for the other 6 songs. Surely there will be a Target Exclusive with 5 extra songs since Barnes and Nobles booksellers has an exclusive blue vinyl. Target is where the Christmas CD sales will be during the last quarter of 2018. The track listing is killing me with anticipation. Lol. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 01:24)

Mariah in Manila (85,340) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines So I'm still quite bummed I wasn't able to watch Mariah in my own country, but I'm just so glad my fellow Pinoy lambs represented us so well. That's how you treat a queen. You set aside all the rumors, bullcrap or disappointment you had with her in the past (there's a cruel, untrue rumor that Mariah uttered some supposedly racist remarks way back in the 90s towards a Filipino singer that always gets dredged back up every time she comes to our country thanks to some misguided haters, but whatever) and cheer for even the less impressive vocal runs and notes, even if some of them aren't live. You collectively chant her name during breaks. Your energy level never lets up even until the last song. I'm so proud of both Mariah and my fellow Filipino fans who were there last night. From the fan clips, you could just tell Mariah was feeding off of their enthusiasm and energy. I hope that more than made up for the horrible Manila traffic she got stuck in earlier. Not to put the US fans in a bad light, but I believe this is further proof why Mariah somehow performs better in foreign countries in general. There's less judgment, more appreciation from fans who are just so aware that this woman only comes to their country once in a while, and they're just grateful she even decided to stop by.

Article: "Voice" coaches reportedly upset over Mariah Carey hire (85,339) by Betty from Canada This story is BS to me, the advertisements I saw so far show the contrary, they were all praising MC, and we all know Kelly is a L4L. (Friday 26 October 2018; 23:26)

Re: Caution cover reminiscent of Britney's In The Zone (85,276) (85,338) by B from USA My bad I misread your message. I thought you wrote that In The Zone was Britney's best album, lol. I agree that it's her best album cover. My apologies. (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:25)

Re: Caution album (85,320) (85,337) by B from USA Did Mariah leak the snippet of A No No? (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:20)

Re: Caution album (85,321) (85,336) by B from USA Mimi, do you have a link to the full version of A No No? (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:18)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,327) (85,335) by B from USA Have you watched any of her recent performances in Asia? She improves with each performance, in my opinion (to clarify so no one thinks I'm stating my opinion as a fact, lol). (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:17)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,327) (85,334) by B from USA To clarify I wasn't saying Mariah should embrace or mimic Marilyn's dumb blonde persona. I was just stating that when Mariah does an homage to Marilyn tastefully like she did in the videos for I Still Believe, Don't Forget About Us, and With You it works. When she takes it to the extreme like she did during Stella's reign of terror it does not. (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:14)

Re: "Cry." (85,325) (85,333) by B from USA It's one of my favorites. (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:07)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,330) (85,332) by Edward from USA Lara, as Deedre stated, I was just joking. There wasn't anything remotely offensive with your post. The little devil in me likes to take things out of context for the laughs. (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:00)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,330) (85,331) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Edward was making a joke. Often humor doesn’t translate well on the message board because we are using text messages. (Friday 26 October 2018; 21:37)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,328) (85,330) by Lara from Middle East Edward English is not my mother tongue, so I didn't really know that formulation is offensive. But I hope you got the idea. And it's the first time I've noticed these monitors and was wondering if this is something used commonly with singers. (Friday 26 October 2018; 20:58)

A No No / LE vinyl (85,329) by Will from England Well, looks like a new song was leaked this morning called "A No No". From what lambs have said it's a good track, so looking forward to hearing it. Mariah's team has already pulled it from the web. And it looks like the team may have made the first booboo in releasing the album, I've seen a lot of fans saying that their order for the LE edition version of the album has been cancelled for no reason, and apparently the price went up. Don't know much more about that. (Friday 26 October 2018; 20:19)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,318) (85,328) by Edward from USA Filming Mariah from the back? Eric, that post shouldn't have been posted. It's offensive to Mariah. (Friday 26 October 2018; 19:24)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,298) (85,327) by Edward from USA Using Marilyn as the main theme for a video is cool. "I Still Believe" was definitely a great example of that, but latching onto Marilyn's personality to create this dumb bigger than life diva persona hasn't worked for Mariah, it's done more bad than good to her career, and it's not Marilyn's fault. Marilyn didn't try to be sexy and glamorous, she didn't have to push it, she just was. When Mariah released Honey, she was sexy without pushing it, she was stunningly sexy on "Breakdown", that was the beauty of it, but that had to do with her unassuming personality. Yes, she was filthy rich, but she was humble. I hope she puts her Marilyn costume right there with the piano she owns and keeps on being more relatable. So far, this era is going as planned. It's been a long long time since any of her songs make me sing along, GTFO and "With You" have accomplished that, not even #Beautiful. So far, I'm satisfied with the three songs I've heard, not looking for perfection here, just consistent good music. At this point I don't know what has causing Mariah's voice to deteriorate so rapidly, I hope she does something about it because, if she can, she's struggling with songs that are supposed to be easy for her to sing live.

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,318) (85,326) by Atwood from NY I have always noticed the monitors since her Christmas shows in NYC. (Friday 26 October 2018; 19:10)

"Cry." (85,325) by Billy from Greece A masterpiece, period. I wonder how it's not on most fans' favorites as much as I would think. (Friday 26 October 2018; 18:43)
