Re: A No No remix fake news (88,130) (88,135) by B from USA She's about to embark on a tour to support the album so I don't see her abandoning it anytime soon. As tour dates approach people will be buying tickets and by doing so they'll also be buying the album because Epic bundled tour tickets with copies of the album which will increase sales of the album. I think Mariah and Epic are going to release two more singles after A No No even if it's a complete and utter failure simply because they no longer seem concerned with Mariah topping the Hot 100 and instead are focusing their efforts on restablishing Mariah at Adult Contemporary and R&B radio which they've already accomplished with With You. With You is #3 on the Adult R&B Songs chart, #33 on the Top 40 chart, and #7 on the Adult Contemporary chart and on each has a bullet for gains in performance. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 05:07)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,128) (88,134) by Hector from Mexico I agree. "Make it happen" means a lot to Mariah. It is truly a fantastic song with a catchy melody and an awsome 90's beat. Classic Mariah. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 02:53)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,126) (88,133) by Hector from Mexico That's exactly what I think. Epic is not promoting With You anywhere. The single is being played on some stations. That's all. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 02:51)

This board (88,132) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This board has gone right back to a negative place again it seems like nothing MC can do is right no matter what it is. Despite everything she is still doing great honestly she is no longer a twenty something year old chasing pop stardom she is now almost 50 and has cemented her legacy as one of the few pop divas we still have left despite the ups and downs she has gone through over the years. As a family I have to agree we fuss over the most foolish things at times but what keeps us going is the love that we share for MC. It is my hope that we can get back to appreciating her and her gifts before we no longer have them at our disposal. Be good to yourselves Archives family and let’s to be good to one another.

Labels alter age (88,131) by Nikki from usa Artists in general are always questioned about their age because labels have a long history of altering them. They try to make the artists as young as possible to add more longevity to their careers, especially females. J.Lo lied about her age by 1 year. That didn't come out until she was arrested with Puffy. Sony claimed she was 28 instead of 29. Eminem's label claimed he was 25 when he debuted, but he actually was 28. Nicki Minaj did the same thing. I think what sparked Mariah's questioning is the fact her label has her graduating high school at 17. That's problematic when MC's a spring baby. She would've just turned 17 prior to graduation. Which means she spent most of her senior year as a 16 year old. She couldn't be that young unless she skipped a grade or started school obscenely early. Personally, I think it's because they wanted to exaggerate how long it took Mariah to get discovered. Spending over a year to get 1 record deal is more of a drama than having 3 record labels fighting over her within 6 months. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 21:34)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,126) (88,130) by Shezz from Pk The remix might possibly be fake news but they did film the video for A No No. Kristopher Buckle confirmed he did the makeup for the video in one of his live videos. I'm pretty sure she'll push atleast one more single before abandoning it. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 20:35)

Re: MC's age? (88,125) (88,129) by Edouard from France Well said. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 19:31)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,108) (88,128) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Make it happen" is more than just a song, it's somehow Mariah's anthem. And I also get hope and positive energy everytime I listen to it. Her Madison Square Garden concert is hypnotic and for me one of the best. I don't care if it's dubbed, it's wonderful. I have it on a VHS cassette, and it never gets boring to watch it. Classic Mariah at her best. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 19:21)

Re: MC's age? (88,123) (88,127) by Dove from United States I liked Why You Mad. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 18:04)

A No No remix fake news (88,126) by Eduardo from Mexico No one has confirmed the song is coming out on March, that was a rumor spread by the fake Lil Kim's manager instagram account (yes the Blas Morera instagram account really looks like a Lil Kim's fan page) who actually retwitted from Indonesian lambily (another fan page) and they tweeted without any source plus Missy Elliot and Cardi B just denied it completly so I'm starting to beleive Mariah just gave up with Caution. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 17:18)

Re: MC's age? (88,122) (88,125) by Marissa from USA I remember on the episode of Oprah where Pat Carey is on discussing Mariah's race that she said she was born in 1970. Unless she was instructed to lie too lol, I believe the woman who brought her into the world. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 16:53)

Re: A No No (remix?) (88,120) (88,124) by B from USA Videos on YouTube of the filming feature a female rapper that sounds like Cardi (her voice is instantly recognizable). I saw the supposed denial from Missy but there are several official Missy Elliott Twitter accounts that all look legit and have links to her official site and iTunes, so who knows if she's on it or not. I guess we have to wait and see. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 16:27)

Re: MC's age? (88,122) (88,123) by Bill from the UK Exactly. Instead we should be focusing our energies on why Migrate wasn't a single and how on Earth she walked out of the studio after recording Why You Mad thinking that monstrosity was fit for public consumption. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 15:29)

Re: MC's age? (88,121) (88,122) by Licia from USA Exactly. Who cares? She's still older than me. Lol. Seriously though I remember when this huge debate over her supposed "real" age happened. It was ridiculous and I had never been more ashamed of being fan as I was then. We fight over dumb stuff all the time, but that was beyond stupid. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 13:01)

Re: MC's age? (88,115) (88,121) by Bill from the UK I theorise that this is why she always dodges the question and says she's "eternally twelve" or has anniversaries etc., because she doesn't want to lie. In Tina Arena's biography she said when she signed to Columbia and met Tommy M, he said "you're gonna be 22 now" when she was 27. But she was a child star so everyone would have known. I agree with Licia that the 1 year difference makes no sense, other than at the time being born "in the 70s" rather than the sixties sounded better. My friend believes her exotic and great stage name is not real and she was actually called Maria. To back up being named after They Call The Wind Mariah her birth year was adjusted. The verdict? Who cares, really. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 12:26)

A No No (remix?) (88,120) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Aside from the date of release, has anything been else about A No No been really confirmed yet? Is it even a remix that's gonna be dropped? And if it is, is Cardi really on it? There's been a lot of speculation and some denying as well so it's all confusing. If it isn't the remix, then we all know how that's gonna go. It's also gonna end similarly if it's not with Cardi or some current hot rapper. But if it indeed is Cardi, and the rumored video shot last January should have been done by February and it would have made for the perfect post-Grammy's release to capitalize on the hype Cardi got for her win. But then Please Me was released instead. Since Please Me is a nice enough song that could gain traction in the next few weeks, would it still be a wise decision to release another Cardi collaboration with Mariah, a legend no Gen-Z teenage fangirl is really checking for? I mean sure, it's a different track and people still can't get enough of Cardi, but won't it be overshadowed by Please Me and end up like that dreadful J.Lo-Cardi team-up Dinero that fell off the face of the earth despite a high-profile performance?

Re: MC's age? (88,118) (88,119) by RibbonB from USA It amazes me how this subject and debate appears on this message board again and again, and how did he missed this for the umpteenth time? And people will reactivate the debate anew. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 11:10)

Re: MC's age? (88,111) (88,118) by Licia from USA There were fans that were on a mission to prove she was actually born in 1969 and that she's lying about being born in 1970. It has never made sense to me why anyone would lie over just one year. I take ten to fifteen years off my age when I lie about it. One year is nothing. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 04:01)

Re: A No No remix rollout (88,103) (88,117) by B from USA I think Mariah is going to drop the video the same day and do several radio and television spots to promote it. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 03:35)

Re: Patience (88,104) (88,116) by B from USA Epic is planning to release A No No to R&B/hip-hop and rhythmic radio March 4 while continuing to promote With You at AC and Adult R&B radio. With You is currently #8 on the Adult Contemporary chart and is gaining momentum. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 03:34)

Re: MC's age? (88,111) (88,115) by CDC from CA I kind of love that there's an air of mystery about her age. I'd be happy if she kept people guessing until she reaches her 80's and then decides to reveal the truth - just like what happened with Cicely Tyson and Doris Day. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 02:13)

New a capella (88,114) by Ronnie from California Mine Again isolated vocals by "Mariah's Vocals". (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 02:11)

Re: Unplugged concert (88,112) (88,113) by Dove from United States Oh, yeah I knew about that. It was discussed on this board back then. To me that's one of my favorite performances though because she let loose and it seems like she's having a really good time. There's a ton of impromptu moments and I love it. It reminds me of when I went to a concert a few years back at Red Rocks in Colorado. At the time I didn't know marijuana was legal there and everyone was doing it out in the open. There were designed areas to smoke but nobody was following the rules and security couldn't get to everyone fast enough. I got such a second hand high. It was super fun though - probably the most fun I've had at a concert up until then. I don't drink or use drugs but if I ever go to a concert where MJ is legal I'll probably do it again. If in Rome. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 01:45)

Re: Unplugged concert (88,106) (88,112) by Edward from USA I didn't put the link there, Eric did to illustrate my point, it was published on the news section of the board. I'm not implying there's something wrong with your ears, but read the article, it explains exactly the disaster and how disappointed attendees were, so it's not a good point of reference to a good performance, at oil, oil intended. Not even in-boob humidifiers could've done anything for the performance to be decent. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 00:46)

MC's age? (88,111) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Why does wiki list Mariah's birth year as 1969 or 1970? What difference does 1 year make, it's not like she was lying to enlist in the army or something. Lol. Any insights? See: How old is Mariah and How old is Mariah Carey? 40 or 41?
