Re: 7 Mile - "After" (82,555) (82,558) by Licia from USA I thought she wrote for their whole album. I could be wrong though. It's a nice song. (Tuesday 29 May 2018; 01:06)

Re: #Beautiful (82,552) (82,557) by Chicago Lamb from USA Could have easily been a top 5, if not #1. (Tuesday 29 May 2018; 00:13)

Re: Poo Bear (82,540) (82,556) by Bobby A from United States Thank you for watching the video. Watching the video and hearing some of his other songs like 112's Anywhere and Peaches and Cream, and his song with Shirellx, Poo Boo is a genius with melody and simple lyrics and titles. He co wrote Pink's Love Is Such A Crazy Thing on her first album. E=MC2 shows on his discography section on his website. Being a protege of Scott Storch, I think he offered some non-credited contribution to Side Effects. Wouldn't it be interesting if his collaboration gives MC her 19th #1. Lol.

7 Mile - "After" (82,555) by Billy from Greece For anyone who is not aware of it, this is a song written by Mariah for the group's debut album. They were, along with Allure, signed on her short-lived Crave label. It's worth a listen or two. The Mariah sound is pretty strong here and it's lovely. You can easily "hear" her sing it. (Monday 28 May 2018; 21:08)

Re: Album delayed (82,546) (82,554) by Bobby A from United States I am pretty sure the album is coming this year. What a perfect year to release a new album. The current state of summer music right now is that every song is sounding the same on the radio. July could come and she drops the first single, album title, and TV performances for promotion. She has to be finished recording the album by June, right? The Butterly Returns residency begins in the middle of July. (Monday 28 May 2018; 20:58)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (82,553) by Billy from Greece Happy (belated) fourth anniversary to this great album. The could-have-beens are so many when it comes to this era, so let's stick to celebrating the musical quality of this truly fulfilling body of work. (Monday 28 May 2018; 15:33)

#Beautiful (82,552) by Billy from Greece Such a buoyant, vibrant, feel-good and timeless record, and so summery too. Should have been the song of summer 2013. (Monday 28 May 2018; 15:28)

The ring (82,551) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am glad she is getting rid of all of her old baggage. She had on two butterfly rings just recently and there was no sign of her ring from Packer so I do believe she really let it go. Just another step in the right direction if you ask me. (Monday 28 May 2018; 12:41)

Re: Album delayed (82,546) (82,550) by Todd from Sydney, Australia The only mention of Mariah's new album has been on her social media. The general public are completely unaware of any album's potential existence, let alone the delays. I mentioned to my Mum the other day I was seeing her in concert later in the year, and the response was "Oh - is she still going?" My mother, despite what she thinks, very rarely has her finger on the pulse but in this instance I think she shares the masses' thoughts. I guess the silver lining on the cloud of "pop stars of time gone by" is that when she comes out with something completely awesome, which I believe she will, there will be an element of surprise for most. We, on the other hand, will know its track listing and be complaining about artwork before it's even available. (Monday 28 May 2018; 10:29)

Mariah quietly sells diamond ring (82,549) by Stacey from USA Another step in the right direction post-Stella era. (Monday 28 May 2018; 04:44)

Re: Best "Vision of Love" live performance (82,535) (82,548) by enwar00 from usa For me it's the BET Blueprint performance. Sure, Mariah could sing like the monster she was very early in her career. To me though, it seemed like life's experiences and years of wear and tear gave her a more soulful edge down the road. With The Emancipation of Mimi I think she knew she had something special on her hands, a sort of vindication if you will, and that brought a different sort of confidence out of her. I truly believe she felt emancipated and very herself during this era. For me all of those variables aligned during that performance and it's just so enjoyable to watch. She took her time playing around with her debut single and it was thrilling to see. (Monday 28 May 2018; 04:23)

The most beautiful queen in all the land (82,547) by Dove from United States Just to be clear, I think Mariah is just as beautiful as Thalia when she tries. Like in the I Don't video. I even think Mariah is more beautiful than Jennifer Lopez but Jennifer always looks better because her hair and makeup and eyebrows are always on point. She's always in shape and the designers give her the better clothes. I know I'm sounding super shallow right now. I know people have more to offer than their physical appearance but I can appreciate beauty in human form. I won't pretend I don't notice pretty people, they are pleasing to look at. But if someone has a bad attitude it automatically makes them unattractive to me. And a good attitude and personality can transform the homeliest person into the most beautiful. (Monday 28 May 2018; 03:15)

Album delayed (82,546) by T from USA It crazy that they made a press release saying the album was to come in 2017 and then recent interviews said 2018, but it looks like it may be more like 2019. I wish they would stop saying dates and just release it when it's ready, it's the delays in dates that hurt MIAMTEC. (Monday 28 May 2018; 02:57)

Re: Poo Bear (82,536) (82,545) by T from USA I just watched the documentary, he seems really bright. His first few songs he did with JB didn't really take off it wasn't until he went back in for a second project did the stuff really click. I know the first time he worked with JLo on "US" it didn't really take off either now he's working with her again. I hope with Mariah it isn't the case that the first time around isn't as great as a follow up. Mariah may not have many chances left in her, she has to get it right the first time. (Monday 28 May 2018; 02:56)

Ding dong (82,544) by RibbonB from USA The ring is gone. It may not be long before we hear about it in a song. (Monday 28 May 2018; 01:35)

Mariah quietly sold diamond ring from ex James (82,543) by Licia from USA If this is true, I don't give two sh*ts why she got rid of it. She never should have kept it. (Monday 28 May 2018; 01:11)

Thalia on Wendy Williams Show (82,542) by Dove from United States I was watching Wendy Williams clips on YouTube today and came across a clip of Thalia who is Tommy Mottola's wife. The other day when I was making my list of albums by year I had a bunch of Thalia's albums on my list but deleted them (because I didn't think I should mention her name on this board) but actually I am a big fan of hers. I was an even bigger fan before, when I was younger. My room back then was plastered with posters and pictures of her and Mariah Carey and Selena. Those were my top three. Thalia is not the greatest singer in the world but she is really likeable and I think she is so beautiful. Probably the most beautiful woman in the world, in my opinion. If I could look like any celebrity I would choose her. When I was little I used to watch her novelas with my grandma; my favorite was Marimar. I sang her songs at talent shows in elementary school. I wish I could have sung Mariah's songs but they were too hard for me and I sounded like a dying cow or Rihanna singing Hero. I'm just saying this because I noticed Wendy was being super rude to her and everytime I see her on American TV shows the talk show hosts are always rude to her. I feel like it's because she's married to Tommy Mottola and people feel loyalty to Mariah - I know that's why I stopped being a hard core fan for a while. But Mariah left Tommy, it's not like Thalia stole him from her. Thalia was like 30 years old, already a huge star, and not employed by him. She seems happy to be married to him, maybe they have a better dynamic. My ex-husband treats his new wife way differently than he treated me according to our son. Maybe people learn something and try to be better, or maybe the dynamic is just different. I don't want to hide that I'm a Thalia fan anymore. She seems like a really sweet person and I don't like when interviewers are rude to her. In that clip she was promoting a Donna Summer play she's producing. I think all Mexicans love Donna Summer. I think it's because we love to dance. (Monday 28 May 2018; 00:50)

Article: Mariah quietly sold diamond ring from ex James Packer (82,541) by Will from England I hope that she has sold the ring. Good riddance and a little light shopping cash on the side to boot. What more could you ask for? (Monday 28 May 2018; 00:30)

Re: Poo Bear (82,536) (82,540) by Dove from United States I just got done watching the documentary you suggested (Poo Bear - Afraid of Forever/Let It Play). I really like his spirit and he gives me a good vibe. He reminds me of Mariah, they even talk similarly. When he told J Balvin "Did you just break up in your relationship? I can feel your energy." I can relate to that because I feel people's energy too. I'm going to look up some of the songs he's worked on but as a person I like him. I'm excited for what's to come. (Sunday 27 May 2018; 15:38)

Re: Best "Vision of Love" live performance (82,535) (82,539) by B from USA In my opinion, Mariah's best performance of Vision of Love was at the 91 Grammy's. (Sunday 27 May 2018; 14:39)

Re: Whitney Houston (82,524) (82,538) by Tijl from Belgium Respect for Whitney as a singer but she never grew on me when it concerned her as a human being. I found her to be very bitchy and unlikeable in interviews. God knows the drugs turned her into a walking nightmare but even during her early days she never came across as a warm person. She lost all credit with me when she tried to upstage Mariah during their live rendition of "When You Believe" at the Academy Awards. Throughout the entire performance there is a clear tension between the two of them and a certain moment Mariah even glances at her like "Come on, really?" Whitney was a good if not a great songstress but she comes nowhere near Mariah's versatile artistry. Okay... they both suck at acting. (Sunday 27 May 2018; 13:11)

Re: Whitney Houston (82,524) (82,537) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Whitney is a very talented performer. Mariah and Celine ain't got nothing on her when it comes to sheer vocal live belting power or soul, especially during her peak. But that's sadly all she is and has. We will always be doubting the artistic merit of artists who make a living singing songs of others. Sure, their talent can come through in their interpretations, but to me, if they don't write at least 30% of their entire catalog, they can't be the type of artists that Carole, Joni, Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Amy, etc. can. And yes, her latter performances were more about her bravado than actual performing. And I have never really enjoyed any interviews she did save for those she did with Mariah, and that's mostly because Mariah was in them. I don't know - when she speaks, it never really comes off sincere - you can almost see the wheels turning in her head. Of course in her latter years she loosened up more and became more candid, but often times it wasn't in a good way and she came across as bitchy. But she's in a better place now and we love still everybody, especially if everybody is someone who has helped pave the way for Mariah. (Sunday 27 May 2018; 07:07)

Poo Bear (82,536) by Bobby A from United States Checkout out Poo Bear's YouTube video - Afraid of Forever/Let It Play. It is almost an hour video about him creating that next hit in the studio, his work ethic, family, and overcoming his personal struggles. Great video and informative. He is a workaholic and perfectionist just like MC. Lambs, I think we are in store for something really special soon. I have never paid any attention to the name Jason Boyd in song credits until now. I feel MC could have collaborated with anybody new, but his name was possibly pitched by Jay Z and his team as a starting point for a fresh new sound. I haven't learned how to attach video links to my posts yet, so just do a Google search - Poo Bear in the studio on YouTube. Once you find it, can you attach it with your next post? It is a must see video about Poo Bear. (Sunday 27 May 2018; 06:49)

Best "Vision of Love" live performance (82,535) by Terna from Nigeria Has to be the one at Proctors Theatre. There's something special about that performance that makes me watch it ever so often. Her confidence is sky high and she really kills it, with so much Swag. The way she throws her head back while sustaining towards the end of the song, breaks that vocal melismatic run down and drops it like it's hot. Lol. Then proceeds to bask in the revelling applause for almost 1 min. Just wow. It puts a big grin on my face everytime I watch it. This Mariah is the one were gonna witness this year when she returns to Caesar's (don't ask how I know, I just know). This is also one of those rare moments where I feel she sings the song better than the album version in one take. Damn. (Saturday 26 May 2018; 21:36)

Article: "Together" alone (82,534) by B from USA If Rhianna does surpass Mariah record of 18 #1's she still won't technically be the woman with the most #1's since on quite a few of her#1's she's the featured artist/guest. Surely, since Billboard is a stickler for rules if she does one day surpass Mariah they'll make sure that it's noted that several of her "#1's" aren't actually her's like Love The Way You Lie that's Em's song not her's, she's just the chorus girl.
