Re: Where did she go? (80,974) (81,021) by 123 from USA Mimi L is probably still celebrating that she no longer has to empower her highlighter. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 02:29)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,020) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think the board needs more humor and Lee can all lighten up a bit and enjoy ourselves. By the same token, although he's not a new member, clearly joining in on discussions and posting messages wasn't routine. Maybe some of the humor got misconstrued for some. I hope it never gets to the point here where we can't be silly and have some laughs, because that would suck. Lol. (Monday 19 February 2018; 16:23)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,014) (81,019) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi Mike, I don't know if they're official. They sound official, but I can imagine they were put together from acapella versions and other official versions. I wonder as well if they're "only" fan-made or official? Either way I won't miss them anymore. (Monday 19 February 2018; 11:02)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,006) (81,013) (81,018) by Haiji Toro from USA I appreciate your message, Edward. I get what you mean. I honestly didn't read the other messages, for I'm sure I would have gotten the "Mean Girls" jokes, so my apologies for being easily triggered. I think it was mainly due to me automatically putting myself in his place and remembering that feeling of being the butt of jokes to other. I do enjoy your humor when I do get to read your posts, so please don't get me wrong. Like I've stated before, I do appreciate good jokes and silly sarcasm. Please don't stop being who you are nor change for anyone. You're definitely one of very few that put a smile on my face with your posts. (Monday 19 February 2018; 09:42)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,017) by tadatorao from japan Let's see how google define bullying: use superior strength (knowledge of this message board) or influence (familiarization with other members) to intimidate someone (newcomer), typically to force them to do something (answering random questions). Let's see how google define joking: talk humorously (nil). (Monday 19 February 2018; 04:29)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,016) by Stacey from USA I think you stole the "ain't that deep" line from me, lol. I've used that line more times than I can count. (Monday 19 February 2018; 03:26)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,015) by Mike from Usa I really like "I still believe". (Sunday 18 February 2018; 19:48)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,005) (81,014) by Mike from Usa These versions are all very good. Are these official remixes? (Sunday 18 February 2018; 19:47)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,006) (81,013) by Edward from USA Reuben is not new to the messageboard. I don't support nor condone bullying or bigotry, but we shouldn't be that sensitive in light of lighthearted jokes. I don't know if you noticed, but some of the messages I posted towards Reuben are lines picked up from Mariah's favorite movie "Mean Girls". Some people shouldn't be so touchy or we're going to have to walk on eggshells here. The messageboard tend to be sometimes boring and repetitive or sometimes the mood is kind of dark. Let's joke a little, let's be silly a little, let's not take shit so seriously. It ain't that deep. I might not agree with some posts in here, but I do appreciate everybody here. I don't want to be part of anything where everybody thinks like me. It would be boring as hell. And I know this is going to come across as bullying, forgive me, but "Migrate" should've been a single.

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,995) (81,012) by 123 from USA Yes Mara, the bridge is everything. The prettiest whispers on that song. Speaking of wedding songs I loved yours. Endless Love. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 13:45)

Welcome Reuben (81,011) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Welcome to the message board. I hope you enjoy it here. I did chuckle at Edward’s humor, but it had nothing to do with wanting to single anyone out. Some of us have been here on the site since 1822 so it is easy for us to make jokes. Enjoy yourself. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 13:41)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,004) (81,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh how could I forget Petals and Close My Eyes. Since it is online, I listen almost every day to the Close My Eyes version. It's so relaxing and dreamy. If there's an official cd, I would immediately buy it. One cd with stripped versions, and the other with live songs and never released songs. One can only dream, I know. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 11:17)

Always Be My Baby plus other classics? (81,009) by CDC from CA It really looks like ABMB has entered the upper tier of bullet proof Mariah classics. It's gotten so much love in the last decade. What are the songs that worldwide consensus has determined are Mariah's classics? The songs that anyone in the world would recognize as a classic that extends beyond Mariah's fanbase and holds up to the catalogue of any other artist? All I Want for Christmas Is You, Hero and Without You are default classics and in my experience of attending Mariah Carey concerts the two songs (besides Hero) that always excites the most crowd participation are ABMB and I'll Be There (which I've always enjoyed hearing everyone sing the original MTV Unplugged inflections over Mariah's live ad-libbing). Here is my list of Mariah's most recognized songs in relative order based on humble biased subjective opinion, charts and YouTube anecdotal evidence (TV show covers): All I Want for Christmas Is You Hero Without You Always Be My Baby We Belong Together I'll Be There Fantasy Emotions Vision of Love My All Heartbreaker (Sunday 18 February 2018; 05:30)

Re: Reuben Walton (80,994) (81,008) by B from USA I was just asking. No need to apologize. I think our fellow board members would be better able to reply to you if you copied and pasted the message you are commenting on if it isn't recent. Just a suggestion. Nice to meet you. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 04:05)

Welcome Reuben (81,007) by Haiji Toro from USA What are your favorite songs from each of MC's albums? Try to pick only one from each. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 01:56)

Our minds work differently (81,006) by Haiji Toro from USA Hello all. I just wanna state a couple things, feel free to skip if uninterested. Please people, let's not indulge in bullying out of fun. We all do things differently. What I can imagine is a lonely person, with a lot of time in their hands. Some of us travel, others listen to music, some read. Maybe MCArchives is his book? Maybe this site is the only family he can speak to about his feelings? Yes, I agree, why not just read them all and then post about them all in one or a couple posts? That would probably save the Webmaster some time with job, I'm just saying. Don't get me wrong, I'm all down for fun and jokes and sarcasm (I truly have love for you, Andrew, you are the truth, a little less negative feeling with it, I promise, they will get it one day). (Sunday 18 February 2018; 01:44)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,005) by Licia from USA Those stripped versions and acapella mixes are giving me like. I've never been a big fan of Outside or Looking In, but the stripped versions made me start enjoying them. They are also making me play songs that I haven't really listened to in a while like UTS. If I had to pick a favorite, ABMB (the stalker love song lol) is it. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 22:54)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,004) by Will from England Mine's a cross of Petals, UTS, Close My Eyes and ISB. Honestly they're so good. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 22:38)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,003) by Bill from the UK Can’t Let Go is beautiful, but my fave is Underneath the Stars. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 16:30)

Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't stop listening to those "stripped versions". The originals are all fantastic and definitely fan favorites. But somehow the versions on YouTube bring new life to the songs, there are notes I never heard on the originals. What's your favorite? Mine are "Can't let go", "Anytime you need a friend", "Fourth of July" and "Outside". (Saturday 17 February 2018; 15:47)

Re: Toni Braxton - Long As I Live (80,963) (81,001) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Love, Marriage & Divorce was gold. A classic for both Babyface and Toni Braxton. Reunited and The D Word are gorgeous songs. I hope Mariah gets less allergic to sung duets in general, especially with another female artist, and make a duets album in the future. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 15:30)

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,962) (81,000) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Finally, someone who thinks the same. Always Be My Baby is the creepiest song Mariah has ever written if you really think about it. But the melody and production makes the cocky, smug lyrics sound sweet and even innocent. But still, it's not as creepy as my favorite, the ultimate stalker anthem of all time, Morrissey's The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get. That ups the creep factor and is just some weird, psychopathic, restraining order-filing stuff wrapped in a great melody. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 15:14)

Mariah and Whitney Oprah special (80,999) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always loved this tv-special. When they sang together it was pure magic. This song gets me everytime. I'm just speechless about so much power and beauty in one room. Someone mentioned how Mariah must feel since Whitney's passing. (To be one of the few living legends must be very hard sometimes.) I do believe it changed something inside of her. The current music by "today's singers" seems boring to me. I'm always "shocked" if I watch the charts on deluxe music tv. So I'll enjoy some real good music with heart and soul on it. Guess who? (Saturday 17 February 2018; 15:07)

Re: Toni Braxton - Long As I Live (80,918) (80,998) by Musti from UK Thank you for sharing this. I didn't realise she's recording new stuff. I'm in love with Long as I Live and I love everything you said about it. I hope this can be her WBT. Toni is one of the most underrated artists out there. Yet her talent is unmatched. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 11:51)

Re: Reuben Walton (80,994) (80,997) by 123 from USA Welcome Rueben. You've woken this board back up from the dead. Yes they move fast on UKMix. Each board has its own feel. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 04:35)
