Bon voyage Aretha (83,393) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Sigh. Here we have yet another example of a singer that a week ago, had you called your local station to request a song by, you'd be laughed away. Today, that station would have been talking about what a legend she was, and dropping her songs in amongst on the Taylor Sheerans and the Demi Gomezs of the world. I think it is so shit that people are never around to hear how much they were truly adored. (Friday 17 August 2018; 14:04)

Lady Soul, Aretha Franklin (83,392) by Terna from Nigeria Out of nowhere yesterday, I suddenly thought of Aretha and then I played "Sparkle" and "It Hurts Like Hell" and hoped she was ok, only to log on much later in the day and find out about her passing. I'm so affected by this news of Aretha, kinda like the same way with Whitney's death. She's been around my whole life, heck she's been here since before my parents got married. Music is truly never going to be the same again. Rest on Aretha - the voice of an entire generation. (Friday 17 August 2018; 11:17)

Re: Show duration (83,377) (83,391) by Andrew from UK What a bizarre statement. She is late excuse it is part of her "brand"? For "brand" read "arrogance". (Friday 17 August 2018; 00:25)

Article: Mariah let's get chest with the talking (83,390) by Andrew from UK How sad. But for very different reasons. (Friday 17 August 2018; 00:23)

Aretha (83,389) by Andrew from UK How very, very sad. So very sad. (Friday 17 August 2018; 00:22)

Re: RIP Aretha (83,381) (83,388) by MusicfanJ from Germany Another legend gone. It makes me sad. But her music will live forever. What a voice, what a woman. The queen of soul will be missed. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 23:52)

Re: Aretha Franklin (83,382) (83,387) by Bill from the UK That's true, but also not wishing to disappoint Carole, Mariah instead suggested they collaborate on an original song together and If It's Over was born. Aretha will be greatly missed. Her Amazing Grace album is probably the best record I've ever listened to. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 23:41)

Aretha (83,386) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The most important female voice in contemporary music both past and present. Mariah's tribute to Ms. Franklin was absolutely beautiful and very heartfelt. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 20:18)

Re: Show duration (83,377) (83,385) by B from USA I assumed she would be late but the show started on time and I missed Vision of Love and Love Takes Time. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 20:08)

Re: Pre-releasing tracks (83,376) (83,384) by B from USA Ariana and Christina both released singles that failed to catch fire and continued to release singles hoping one would eventually catch on but it never happened. Ariana has never recovered from Donutgate, lol. I don't follow Tamia's career so I don't know what happened there. However, if I had to guess I'd wager she did so for the same reason as the aforementioned artists. I think Mariah is going to release an "aggressive" uptempo song as the first single from her new album in the vein of It's Like That, Migrate, I'm That Chick, or Side Effects. I think Mariah will release her new album within weeks of the release of the single or on the same day, with no warning. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 20:05)

RIP Aretha Franklin (83,383) by TJ from Norway What a voice. I hope that Mariah will cover one of her songs. RIP. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 19:46)

Aretha Franklin (83,382) by B from USA Mariah posted a heartfelt tribute to Aretha on her social media accounts. FYI, after seeing Mariah perform Carole King contacted Mariah asking her if she would be interested in covering (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, a song she had written alongside Gerry Goffin for Aretha Franklin and Mariah politely declined feeling uneasy about covering a song one of her musical influences executed so perfectly.

RIP Aretha (83,381) by RibbonB from USA What a singer, a legend, a diva. I'm so sad about it. We are so lucky to have had her. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 19:02)

Re: Pre-releasing tracks (83,376) (83,380) by Bobby A from United States Yes, bring MC15 on. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 06:30)

Re: Show duration (83,377) (83,379) by Ethan from United States Haha. I thought that as well but for some reasons, I think residencies at CP tend to be on time. I missed VOL when I went to the show back in May 2015. It started right at 8 PM. I'm not sure how it is for the second residency but I'd say if it starts late, it's around 15-30 minutes max. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 04:04)

Re: An Aretha tribute (83,364) (83,378) by B from USA If Mariah participates in a tribute to Aretha she'll most likely talk about how she was influenced by her and about performing with her on Divas Live before singing Chain of Fools. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 20:42)

Re: Show duration (83,375) (83,377) by Bill from the UK Mariah's always late as it's part of her "brand". (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 19:08)

Pre-releasing tracks (83,376) by Tyler from USA It seems like the trend is for artist to release 3-4 tracks before the album is released. Artist such as Tamia, Ariana, Christina have all done this. While this may add anticipation to the record's release, I really hope MC doesn't follow the trend. I want to listen to the record as a body of work not a album of full singles. I remember not listening to the leak tracks when TEOM was released for this purpose. I really feel as if MC's going to tell a story with this album ranging from her honestly being bi-polar, losing love (James) and finally being in a great place. I can be patient and do without the multiple lead singles. Bring on this album. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 17:44)

Show duration (83,375) by Dennis from Miami, FL Guys, can anyone tell me how long does the Vegas show last? It starts at 8pm. Does she show up late recently? I want to come to Vegas just for the show and then hop on the plane so I would appreciate any information. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 14:25)

Christmas show 2014 (83,374) by Billy from Greece That was a really great show with excellent vocals. I put it on just to have a look and ended up listening to the whole thing and halfway I started checking tickets again for the upcoming Christmas shows. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 11:53)

New era (83,373) by Bobby A from United States When MC drops the new single ahead of her iHeart Music Festival performance, we will know that a new era is about to begin. Something big is about happen right after Labor Day. I just feel something aggressive is about to drop soon. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 04:14)

Article: Mariah Carey's career is not over and you will deal (83,372) by Hector from Mexico "A bad performance or two is par for the course when you have 27 years of receipts." Really? Only1 bad performance or 2? (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 01:38)

Article: Mariah Carey's son made a Christmas song about boobs (83,371) by Angel from USA Oh Nick. (Tuesday 14 August 2018; 16:04)

Article: Mariah's ex-manager moves closer to filing lawsuit (83,370) by Angel from USA This lady needs to give up. I'm so glad that Mariah got rid of of that venomous snake. (Tuesday 14 August 2018; 16:03)

Cancelling of overseas tour dates (83,369) by Angel from USA Sorry to hear the cancelling of the tour in your area if you bought tickets and made travelling arrangements, lambs. I think that the reason that she cancelled was because the label is probably putting some fire under her to release this "new album". I feel that her team should have thought the tour dates and cities or countries, carefully and strategically. With that being said, I hope that she has a great marketing team for this new era to get her the exposure and sales that she deserves. (Tuesday 14 August 2018; 15:24)
