About Norman from USA: I've been a fan of Mariah's since I first heard Love Takes Time (I don't know how I initially missed Vision of Love), and I haven't looked back since. Her music has been there for me in my darkest hours to help lift out of the depths of whatever I was going through at the time. She's my all time favorite female singer, even though I love many others. It's funny to think of her music as a "friend", but it's always been there for me. I love her talent. " As we drifted to another place and time And the feeling was so heady and sublime As I lost my heart to you There in the dark Underneath the stars"

Vegas (49,393) by Norman from USA I haven't been to SinCity in at least 18 years. So it seems aprops that I'll be back for Mariah's 18 #1's. I'm super excited and can't even imagine what it will be like aside from amazing. I mean, it's Vegas and Mariah, so you know it's going to have to be beyond spectacular. The last time I saw her was for TEOM tour in Anaheim when she filmed the show for the concert. I'm going to have to weigh in on this whole dream duets and #1 list, but I'll have to take my time. Just thinking about it right now makes my brain hurt. It's too much. Hehe I hope you all have a great weekend. (Saturday 24 January 2015; 0:25)

Producer collabo (48,058) by Norman from USA Hey there everyone. I've been thinking about this for the longest time, I even tweeted the idea to Mimi herself about two years ago, but I do think that having Mariah work with Mark Ronson would excellent. Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam are over and done IMO, at least with Mariah. It's just like with Janet, they need to move on. I don't think a Calvin Harris collabo would work because it would be too desperate and predictable. It would be cool if she worked with someone like Stevie Nicks, even if she's old school, but she's an awesome writer herself and loves Mariah. Plus, it would be unexpected. Something in the vein of what #Beautiful was going for. Or even someone totally left field like an Axel Rose (sounds uber crazy, I know), Bono, Linkin Park, etc., who have big sweeping songs with deep meaning - just in a different genre. They've all done acoustic versions of their songs, it's not a stretch to produce an pop/r&b with another legend. Just a wild thought. What do you guys think? Hope you're all well. What do you think?

Todd / two concerts (47,890) by Norman from USA Hey Todd. Both concerts? Wow. How lucky are you? That's awesome. Congrats. And thank you so much for sharing a little bit of your experience with us. It really must've been amazing live. Just wow. Thanks again. I'm just so glad our girl keeps getting better and better with each concert. I can't wait for what she does next. Cheers to everyone. Hope everyone's doing great. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 7:02)

Bill / live album (47,079) by Norman from USA Hey Bill. Thank you so much for the greeting. I know we're all just rooting for her to do something as amazing as we know her to be. So I'm excited to know that the show has started and the speculation as to how it's all going to go down will come to an end. I really love the Unplugged album as well. I don't think she'll do it like again only because she's already done it once, and I don't think she deliberately likes to duplicate an album (say what you will of E=MC2 and TEOM), but I do think this would give a good opportunity to come close. So let's see. Before it was clear she wasn't going promote MIAMTEC with any videos of any sort, I so hoping she'd somehow team up with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to come up with a fun video for Dedicated or some other song. I just think that all of their humor would really mesh well to come up with something amazing from 3 strong and funny ladies. And it's something no one would see coming. Maybe they still can. Anyway, I'm just rambling. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 11:29)

Just a thought (47,043) by Norman from USA Hello everyone. This is my first time writing a message on here, although I've been a frequent visitor and reader for a while now. I know all of us are wondering what Mariah's next move will be, and we all our opinions, so with that in mind I'd like to say that I believe our beloved Mimi will record a "live" album during this tour. It will include songs from this era as well as her greatest hits, and even new material (as she alluded to in a message to us lambs, I believe). This would give her a "live" album, greatest hits album, and the vibe of a new album all in one punch, all while she's on tour. I think that's why she's in the studio. She's laying it all down for it to pop off and slay all those mofo's that said she's over and done for. Either way, it's just a thought. Whatever she does, I just hope she's well and that her kids are well, too. Here's hoping you're all doing great. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 13:07)
